Chapter 84: Chapter 71: A Moment of Chaotic Snow, An Instant of Blooming Flowers

"No, it’s fine. I’ll just go find Si Yu and have her fix it..."

With one hand over her chest and the other holding her dress, Fang Youning turned and hurried away.

Chen Yuan stood nearby, taking in the whole scene.

He hadn’t heard anything from Song Jianye about Li Dongyang pestering her lately.

He figured Li Dongyang had finally seen the writing on the wall, but it turned out he’d just switched targets.

But Fang Youning was a great catch herself. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have her own faction of admirers.

’Li Dongyang sure liked to play life on hard mode, chasing after any girl he wanted.’

’It’s like he rolled off the assembly line with a permanent "100% Rejection Rate" debuff.’

"You’re here."

Just as Fang Youning was about to go find Fan Siyu, she spotted Chen Yuan standing nearby. Her expression visibly brightened, like a flower blooming in an instant.

Lifting the hem of her dress, Fang Youning changed direction and shyly made her way over to Chen Yuan.

"You look amazing in that."

Fang Youning blushed, her cheeks glowing as if kissed by the dawn as a pink flush spread from her ears.

"I think it’s pretty, too, but the neckline is a little low. They used a clip on the back, but it’s still a bit loose."

Fang Youning turned around, exposing her fair back to Chen Yuan.

"Could you help me tighten it a bit?"

"Don’t move. Be quiet..."

Fang Youning pressed her lips together and immediately fell silent. She blinked her long lashes, her wide eyes looking at Chen Yuan in confusion, as if asking for an explanation.

"I’m listening to the sound of a simp having a meltdown..."

"The sound of a meltdown..."

Fang Youning instinctively glanced over at Li Dongyang and saw him standing frozen in place, glaring at Chen Yuan so intensely it looked like his eyes were on fire.

Chen Yuan let out a sly chuckle.

’My apologies, but I’m a man of multiple factions...’

"Just ignore him. Can you help me fix this first?" Fang Youning said in a low voice.

"No rush. Let me admire the view for a while. I’ll help you after I’m done looking."

It was one thing to talk a big game, but when it came to the actual act, Chen Yuan only snuck a quick peek.

Chen Yuan didn’t consider himself a paragon of virtue, but he felt that openly staring at a girl’s chest was just trashy.

But those two pale, soft mounds were right in front of him, swaying like liquid, making it impossible not to look.

There was nothing Chen Yuan could do about it, so he lowered his gaze to her legs instead.

’Hee hee...’

Fang Youning giggled to herself.

’He just says whatever he wants, but he’s actually a boy with a good sense of propriety.’

’He doesn’t dare to look at me now that I’m in a dress. Hmph, his eyes are darting all over. Coward.’

"Alright then. You can help me later, but you have to keep your promise."

"Of course."

Li Dongyang was about to blow a gasket.

’I offered to help her, and she refused! But then she goes and asks Chen Yuan for help, and not only does he not help, he says he wants to look some more!’

’Dammit!’

’How can such a bastard exist?!’

’Do you really have to be handsome to get away with this?!’

’Does a guy like me, with a sincere heart, not deserve true love?!’

’It was like this with Song Jianye!’

’And now it’s the same with Fang Youning!’

’Oh, heavens!’

’Why are you doing this to me?!’

"You’re being so bad," Fang Youning said, her face so red with embarrassment it was almost unrecognizable.

"Hey, it’s just human nature. Otherwise, how would the human race propagate?"

His words made Fang Youning’s heart beat a little faster...

’He’s always saying things like that...’

"What are you singing today? I forgot to ask earlier," Chen Yuan asked.

"The Unbreakable Love."

"That’s a great song."

"Mhm, I’ve been obsessed with it lately."

Fang Youning’s expression suddenly changed. Her pretty face tensed as if she’d just remembered something.

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you something. For the background on the big screen, they’re using the music video from *The Legend of Deification*. That should be fine, right?"

"I get that kind of special treatment?"

"Everyone gets one. It makes for a better atmosphere."

"No problem. I’m just singing for fun anyway."

"You should still take it seriously. The school administrators are watching. If you sing well, you can leave a good impression on them," Fang Youning said earnestly.

"That’s true..."

Chen Yuan replied noncommittally.

’If that young madam, Bai, were in the audience, then I’d have a reason to perform well.’

’But she probably wouldn’t come to an event like this. Knowing her, she’s probably at home making out with her husband, getting her fill of fluids, and then supplementing with some protein.’

The two sat chatting. Every time someone walked by, Fang Youning would cover her chest. After a while, Chen Yuan couldn’t take it anymore and reached over to cover it for her.

Nearby, Li Dongyang watched, grinding his molars so hard they felt like they would shatter.

’He didn’t just tighten her dress for her, he’s even shielding her now!’

’How far has their relationship actually gone in private?’

’Have they reached the point of going on dates?’

’They’re just freshmen. It’s probably just simple stuff like getting meals and walking around, right? They can’t have reached the point of spending the night together, can they?’

’No, wait!’

’Why is her lower abdomen slightly swollen?!’

Idiot, that’s just where her uterus is.

Chen Yuan listened to the music and bantered with Fang Youning. If he knew Li Dongyang had such a rich inner monologue, he’d definitely recommend him for a full-time writer position on some NovelPhoenix site.

The guy was a walking drama.

「At six o’clock in the evening, the Top Ten Campus Singers competition began right on schedule.」

Chen Yuan peeked through a gap in the stage curtain. The auditorium was a sea of people, some even holding up signs and glow sticks. The atmosphere was incredible.

His phone buzzed a few times with a message from Li Yingying.

Li Yingying: "I brought some of our classmates to cheer you on."

Li Yingying: "It’s the taking part that counts, so don’t be nervous."

Chen Yuan: "I’m on last. Save your voices. When I get on stage, I want to hear you all screaming ’Chen Yuan, I love you! I want to have your babies!’"
