CHAPTER 944: CHAPTER 548: GUESTS ARRIVE (PART 2)

people, 8 kinds of gifts.

The students of Class 16 in Senior One were stunned, especially many girls who hadn’t understood much yet, looking at Lan Zichen with envy in their eyes. If someone were willing to give such a show on their birthday, how romantic would it be?

And those male classmates felt humiliated being overshadowed by the senior guys flirting, mostly looking unnatural, yet facing Yan Tianpeng, as large as a bear standing on stage, they dared not speak out in anger.

The 8 people stood by the blackboard, simultaneously looking outside the classroom at Dan Kaiquan, as if welcoming their Master of Destiny.

Dan Kaiquan stepped into the classroom.

He wore a white shirt, black casual pants, clean and fresh, his long-term exercise made him stand straight.

As he walked, he removed a bag, unveiling a bouquet of pink roses.

Dan Kaiquan embraced the roses, walking step by step towards Lan Zichen, his appearance was mildly handsome, combined with the pomp in front, enhanced by everyone around him, made him even more charming.

This entrance made Lan Zichen’s female deskmate very nervous, not daring to look directly.

Dan Kaiquan finally stood in front of Lan Zichen, looking at her slightly flushed face, he opened his mouth and said:

"Lan Zichen, others wish you a happy birthday, I’ll wish you peace and joy."

He gently placed the flowers on Lan Zichen’s desk.

His gestures were elegant, almost flawless.

Though Dan Kaiquan didn’t speak words of confession, his actions had long surpassed an ordinary relationship, everything pointed towards a confession, only a confession could bring closure, could end it all.

In such an atmosphere, the scene lost control, some excited female students shouted: "Lan Zichen, Lan Zichen!"

The emotional girls egged her on, some brave ones ran from the back row, encircling the two, familiar faces with Lan Zichen, all showed excitement.

Facilitating beauty is a beautiful deed.

At this moment, Dan Kaiquan had no way out, he looked at Lan Zichen and smoothly said the words he had brewed for weeks:

"Lan Zichen, I like you, be my girlfriend!"

This sentence instantly ignited the girls in the class, "Ah, say yes to him, say yes to him!"

"Quickly say yes to him!"

The onlooking girls were more excited than Lan Zichen, they nudged Lan Zichen, some pushed her, hoping she would agree, they yearned to see the scene of lovers becoming united.

The words "say yes" echoed.

In the center of everyone, Lan Zichen felt no romance, only awkwardness and embarrassment.

She didn’t like Dan Kaiquan.

Cui Yu shouted: "Hug him!"

Ma Shicheng hurriedly nudged him, advising him to stop shouting.

But as soon as this was said, someone stirred up more: "Hug him, kiss him!"

Lan Zichen, in the center, felt extremely helpless.

Dan Kaiquan looked at her deeply, waiting for her answer.

At this moment, a figure from the back row rushed to the front, he pushed through the crowd, standing in front of Lan Zichen.

The newcomer was a tall and handsome boy, standing at 1.85 meters, overshadowing Dan Kaiquan a lot, and with better style and looks, he was a true handsome guy.

He made a gesture, and the girls’ frenzy lessened, showing his status in the class.

Seeing the boy, the fragility in Lan Zichen’s expression vanished, replaced by calmness.

Ma Shicheng thought to himself: ’Damn, Longlong’s intel was off!’

Wu Yunzhi faced Dan Kaiquan, saying: "Buddy, your confession..."

He straightforwardly said: "It’s somewhat bullying."

He outright negated Dan Kaiquan’s actions, speaking justly: "This is moral coercion, you know? You’re moving yourself, disgusting others!"

He directly attacked.

Dan Kaiquan retorted: "What does this have to do with you, stay out of it."

Wu Yunzhi looked at Lan Zichen, giving her courage: "I think you should say something."

Lan Zichen took a breath, asked Dan Kaiquan: "What do you like about me?"

Dan Kaiquan sincerely said: "I think your looks and temperament are good."

Wu Yunzhi laughed out loud, "You don’t like Lan Zichen the person, but her looks and temperament, if someday you meet someone with better looks and temperament, would you like someone else then?"

"I think for something like love, there should be unique reasons." Wu Yunzhi spoke eloquently.

Can Dan Kaiquan give them?

He can’t give them.

Is it that, do you look like ’her’?

Dan Kaiquan was left speechless by Wu Yunzhi’s comments.

Guo Kunnan looked at Yan Tianpeng, signaling him with his eyes.

Yan Tianpeng made a hand gesture, meaning ’fifty yuan is not enough!’

For the happiness of his good brother, Guo Kunnan gritted his teeth and agreed.

After satisfying Yan Tianpeng, his massive body moved, and he rubbed his hands, saying: "Kid, you have a sharp mouth and teeth!"

With his fan-sized hand, he grabbed Wu Yunzhi’s collar and effortlessly pulled him to the side.

Faced with such a vast difference in strength, even though Wu Yunzhi had countless sharp words in his stomach, he could only keep silent at this moment.

Lan Zichen said: "Can you take the gift away first, okay?"

...

The impact of this action lingered until the evening self-study session.

The girls in class 8 kept turning back to look at Dan Kaiquan, amazed that he could do such a thing.

Jiang Yanan talked to Shen Qing’e about this matter, her tone exaggerated, and while Liu Chuandao passed by, he noticed the longing on the girls’ faces, instantly brewing a new plan.

At the back row.

Lu Qiqi turned around teasingly: "Dan Kaiquan, what happened in the end?"

If her boyfriend had arranged such a scene on her birthday, Lu Qiqi would have been overjoyed.

Dan Kaiquan didn’t speak. Lu Qiqi, being good at reading people, saw his expression and guessed the outcome. She shook her head: "That little girl really doesn’t know how to cherish it."

After Lu Qiqi turned her head back, Dan Kaiquan looked bewildered and confused.

He didn’t understand why, after putting in so much effort, he ended up with this result.

After school that afternoon, Lan Zichen messaged him, first thanking him for his expenses and then returning all the gifts, which Dan Kaiquan didn’t accept.

But this meant that this carefully planned event had failed.

He didn’t understand.

After being quiet for a while and growing increasingly unwilling to accept the situation, Dan Kaiquan took out his phone and messaged Lan Zichen:

"Can we still be friends?"

...

In the front row of the classroom, Song Sheng chatted with the new classmate Qiang Li.

They were seated front to back; Qiang Li was quite physically fit and also enjoyed exercising, allowing Song Sheng to barely get along with him:

"Our school is developing pretty well now. Today, I saw a lot of equipment being brought in outside; I heard it’s for the gym."

Qiang Li listened and said: "A gym, huh? That’s impressive, first time I’m hearing about a school opening a gym."

Song Sheng: "The Changqing Liquid Company donated tens of millions."

Thanks to the donation from Evergreen Liquid, many teachers at Fourth Middle School received generous bonuses, especially the PE teachers.

With the booming development of Evergreen Liquid, anyone with some common sense understands its vast potential for the future.

The leaders at Fourth Middle School naturally wouldn’t kill their own prospects; they understood how much Evergreen Liquid valued their alma mater and were ready to ride this wave to rise through the ranks.

Thus, the school administration used the entire donation to develop the school, do real work, renovate the cafeteria, expand the library, and add more facilities like the gym...

Qiang Li glanced at Song Sheng and nodded: "With that physique, you should train a bit."

Song Sheng was brimming with confidence; he was a regular at the gym. He proudly said: "You’ll see for yourself during the PE class this week."

Qiang Li: "I reckon there’ll be other classes during PE too, it’ll be lively."

...

By the window.

Xue Yuantong asked Bai Yuxia for confirmation: "You’re not eating in the cafeteria tomorrow at noon?"

She had promised Chuchu to take her to a small dining table for a different experience, but never got the chance.

"Hmm, a relative is getting married, I’m attending," Bai Yuxia said.

Chai Wei, as if hearing heavenly music, quickly asked: "Since you’re not going, can I take your seat?"

Bai Yuxia replied calmly: "I’ve promised it to someone else."

Chai Wei, extremely disappointed, asked again: "Who did you give it to?"

Xue Yuantong thought that Chuchu was out of luck again.

Jiang Ning replied: "Yes, Bai Yuxia gave it to me."

Chai Wei looked at Jiang Ning, jealousy hidden well in his eyes: "Aren’t you eating in the cafeteria?"

Jiang Ning: "Who doesn’t have a female friend or two?"
