Freshman year goes by quickly.
Qi Yingzhou quickly gathered the student union, relying on coercion, inducement and life threats to secure his position as student union president.
At the same time, he also had excellent grades and ranked first in GPA.
On the surface, he is the best student in this class.
Mrs. Huo was very satisfied with Qi Yingzhou's performance, and she agreed to hold an engagement party for Qi Yingzhou and Lingchan during the summer vacation.
Qi Yingzhou was happy for two days when he was asked out by Ling Chan.
"We can't let them get what they want!" Lingchan said with a straight face and very seriously: "We are obviously two people, why should we be a tool for marriage?"
Qi Yingzhou: "..."
He couldn't ask for it more!
He showed a gentle, comforting smile and analyzed with Lingchan: "We can't stop the parents' ideas..."
"You have changed." Lingchan interrupted him.
The girl raised her eyes, and the clear light revealed Qi Yingzhou's selfishness, "The way you talk now... sounds like Huo Jiuke."
Qi Yingzhou bit the tip of his tongue.
The pain woke him up and calmed him down. He said, "The Huo family doesn't need Qi Yingzhou, they only want Huo Jiuke. I can't change."
"No." Lingchan said, "This is of your own free will."
Qi Yingzhou wanted to dig out her flesh and blood to see what was inside.
How could he tell
"Then can you see why I have changed?" Qi Yingzhou asked.
Why has he changed? Because Lingchan likes it.
The only thing he didn't want to hear was Lingchan's accusation.
Lingchan frowned and asked, "Then you don't want me to resist the engagement together?"
Qi Yingzhou smashed the quilt, and the sound of the broken ceramic cup was harsh, not as hoarse as his voice, "You clearly know that I like you."
But he still asked him to resist the engagement together.
"You clearly know that I bow my head for you."
But he confidently accused him of his changes.
The staff in the coffee shop walked over bravely and swept away the broken ceramic tiles on the floor. The customers looked here furtively with their eyes empty.
Lingchan frowned and said with a cold face, "Control yourself, I don't want to be someone else's laughing matter."
Qi Yingzhou stood up directly and dragged her out. In the quiet back alley, he asked in a cold voice: "Ask me my question."
Lingchan looked at the garbage on the ground and was a little upset, "You said in the beginning that you hated the Huo family's control over you, so we agreed to resist together. Why do you say it now as if I forced you?"
Qi Yingzhou: "...Is this all you want to say?"
"Otherwise, what can I say? Do I want to be moved? You don't think that you bowed to the Huo family just because of me, do you?"
"Don't make any mistake." Lingchan raised her eyes, her eyes like ice, coldly peeling off the soft coat of love, "You are doing it for your own desires."
"As long as you are obedient, Mrs. Huo will fulfill your wish, and I am the gift to you."
Lingchan sneered, "I've seen a lot of people who hurt me in the name of loving me."
There was soft water in her eyes, calm and sad. She turned her head and took a deep breath, "You are so disgusting."
Qi Yingzhou opened his mouth, speechless.
Everything Lingchan said was right.
He just had evil intentions towards her, wanted to be liked and admired by her, so he pretended to say that he hated the engagement in front of Lingchan, and when he returned home, he showed another face to Mrs. Huo.
He was eager to get married and get a certificate tomorrow.
"I didn't lie to you. I thought about postponing the engagement..." Qi Yingzhou opened his mouth and defended weakly.
"Lying." Lingchan said, "Liar."
"I just want you to like me. It's okay if I don't have the Huo family. As long as you like me, it's okay if you don't get engaged... But I've never been in your eyes. You don't like me."
"That's all I can do."
Qi Yingzhou put his hand on Lingchan's shoulder, and the heat in his palm penetrated the thin fabric and simmered on Lingchan's skin.
With a stubborn look in his eyes, he repeated: "I can only do this."
…
Lingchan was sent home by Qi Yingzhou.
I don’t know what Qi Yingzhou said to Mrs. Jiang. After a while, Mrs. Jiang shared the good news with Lingchan with a happy face, "Chanchan! Mrs. Huo said that an engagement ceremony will be held for you during the summer vacation!"
Lingchan said nothing.
Mrs. Jiang hugged her and said softly: "Baby, don't be angry anymore. Mom is doing this for your own good. Yingzhou likes you so much and the Huo family has good conditions. You will definitely be happy in the future!"
Lingchan said: "Is it to reward Qi Yingzhou for ranking first?"
Mrs. Jiang nodded, feeling equally proud, "He dropped out of high school and can surpass so many equally outstanding classmates, which shows his ability. Mrs. Huo and I both feel that he can shoulder your responsibility."
"So I am your gift to Qi Yingzhou?"
Mrs. Jiang's hands tightened and her expression turned ugly: "How can you say that? You two are obviously a match made in heaven, why do you always misunderstand other people's good intentions like this?"
"Chanchan, do you want to make mom sad?"
"If I disobey, doesn't my mother want me as a daughter?"
There was silence.
Mrs. Jiang let go of Lingchan. She stood aside and said calmly: "Don't go out before the engagement party. Think about it carefully."
She walked out and closed the door.
Lingchan sat in the room, curled up in a ball.
[Chanchan...what should we do next? 】The system asked in a low voice.
【Do nothing. ] Lingchan said casually: [I am now the princess in the tower, waiting for my prince to save me. 】
[Hmm...it doesn't have to be a prince, maybe a dragon? 】
She chuckled twice, with a strange look in her eyes: [The show is about to begin. Love is the most useless thing. What I want is something else. 】
She has had too much useless love. She does not care about the love of these dirty people, and neither does the original owner.
Lingchan will get this poor little girl what she really needs.
…
Ling Chan was grounded.
Qi Yingzhou often came to see her, but Lingchan wouldn't even open the door.
Qi Yingzhou could only stand outside the door. The door was well soundproofed and Lingchan couldn't hear his voice at all.
But Qi Yingzhou loved coming.
He pushed away the others and stood alone in the empty corridor, facing the closed solid wood door, talking nonsense.
There was his sweetheart in the room, and even though she ignored him, Qi Yingzhou still felt very relaxed.
He rambled on, talking about some daily experiences and the preparations for their engagement party.
He took care of everything for the engagement party, from the venue design, to the specific flowers, to the guest list.
He said slowly, feeling disappointed.
Until one day, Lingchan needed to choose an engagement dress.
Mrs. Jiang came to persuade Lingchan again.
Lingchan said: "I have only one request, I don't want to see Qi Yingzhou."
"As long as he is not here, I am willing to cooperate."
