When Su Heng arrived at the classroom the next day, he discovered something very strange.

My deskmate Chen Cuo, who is usually full of energy and seems to have been injected with chicken blood, was sleeping soundly on the table like a pig today.

He was called to sleep several times by the teacher, but he still fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Seeing the Art Theory teacher's face flushed red and his round eyes glaring angrily at Chen Cuo, Su Heng, in order to avoid starting a "war," slapped Chen Cuo awake the moment the Art Theory teacher was about to stride off the podium.

Startled by the blow to his back, Chen Cuo immediately woke up, all sleepiness gone.

He was startled, and when he woke up, he clutched his chest and glared resentfully at the "culprit".

Su Heng coughed lightly, glanced at him indifferently, and then looked towards the podium with a hint of schadenfreude.

Chen Cuo followed his gaze to the podium and saw the gloomy face of the art theory teacher. He immediately sat up straight, rubbed his face, picked up his pen, and pretended to listen attentively to the lecture.

Although it was somewhat theatrical, it did alleviate the art theory teacher's displeasure to some extent. His expression softened slightly, and he stopped staring at Chen Cuo, instead focusing on explaining the lesson.

As the bell rang and the Art Theory teacher stepped out of the classroom, Chen Cuo slammed his pen on his desk and pointed at Su Heng's desk.

Su Heng turned his head in response, and Chen Cuo pretended to be in pain, clutching his back, "My back hurts so much, I'm afraid it won't be able to heal without a new set of skin."

Su Heng rested his elbow on the table, his head lightly resting on his palm, and watched his performance from the side. He chuckled, "Come on, if I hadn't saved your life, you wouldn't even have a new skin, let alone your old one."

"Tch, get lost."

After Chen Cuo finished his joke and withdrew his hand, he suddenly remembered something, went over and put his arm around Su Heng's shoulder, grinning mischievously, "I'm saying, you absolutely have to give me this skin set."

Su Heng ignored him, "Dream on."

Chen Cuo raised an eyebrow at him, "Really not going to see me off?"

Su Heng found it a bit strange and asked in return, "Then tell me why I should give it to you?"

Chen Cuo recalled how he had "charged into battle" for Su Heng last night, only to be met with indifference and even a slap in the face, and felt a pang of sorrow.

He sighed and looked at Su Heng with an almost resentful gaze.

Su Heng felt uneasy under his gaze and moved his hand away with some disgust.

Chen Cuo felt that silently making sacrifices behind the scenes would not yield good results, so he decided to make a big fuss about his sacrifices for Su Heng last night.

His expression turned serious. "Because I slept all morning for you."

"Hmm?" Su Heng didn't care much, only thinking that he was going to make up something again.

Chen Cuo glanced at him. "Don't believe me?"

Su Heng was very blunt, saying, "I really don't believe it."

“Then look at this.” Chen Cuo said, taking out his phone from under the table and opening the forum post.

Su Heng looked in the direction he was pointing and saw Chen Cuo's comments below.

Su Heng is the only one worthy; lock him up completely.

[Relationships between older women and younger men are always a dream come true!]

[Brother Xincuo, you're really smitten!]

……

Su Heng glanced at it, then frowned. What did he mean by "suitable"? And what was this "older woman/younger man relationship"? Who was he with?

At this moment, Chen Cuo pointed to the time of the comment again, "See? Five o'clock! I was still fighting for you at five in the morning!"

"What 'older woman/younger man' relationship'? Whose post am I with?"

Chen Cuo looked around and lowered his voice, "Who else could it be but Liang Qing?"

"Liang Qing?" Su Heng frowned even more. How could he and Liang Qing appear on the school forum?

Could it be because of a magazine photoshoot?

The thought crossed Su Heng's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

The magazine will only begin its pre-Valentine's Day promotions before that; everything will remain confidential until then.

But what is the reason for that?

Before the magazine shoot, he and she only had two contacts, one at the school gate and the other at the infirmary. That shouldn't have warranted going on a forum, right?

So he asked Chen Cuo, "Why are there posts about me and Liang Qing?"

Chen Cuo yawned. "What post about you and Liang Qing? It's not a post about you and Liang Qing at all. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even have had a chance to appear."

Chen Cuo scrolled the page to the top and saw the title. Su Heng's face darkened, and a fire inexplicably rose in his heart.

He snatched Chen Cuo's phone and began to read the details of the post. When he saw the comments about Song Zhiji and Liang Qing holding hands and the rumors that they were together, he almost smashed the phone screen in his hand.

Seeing his gloomy face, Chen Cuo quickly pulled his phone back forcefully, examined it carefully, and breathed a sigh of relief upon finding no damage.

After glancing at the page, he could understand why Su Heng was angry.

So he patted Su Heng on the shoulder reassuringly, "It's just a rumor, don't worry about it."

Seeing Chen Cuo's worried expression, Su Heng realized that he had overreacted.

Who Liang Qing chooses to be with is none of his business, why should he be upset?

His displeasure stemmed from Chen Cuo dragging him into the mess with her; that must be it.

“It has nothing to do with me,” Su Heng replied coldly.

"Huh?" Chen Cuo looked at him in confusion.

"Don't associate me with Liang Qing anymore."

Su Heng looked terrible, and his tone was also unpleasant.

Chen Cuo noticed his displeasure and shut his mouth, secretly thinking: He's so angry, yet he says it's okay.

Pshaw, his mouth is the hardest thing on his whole body.

I can't help but worry about Su Heng. Sigh, with Su Heng's bad temper, it will probably be quite difficult for him to win over Liang Qing.

Not to mention that his biggest competitor right now is Song Zhiji.

Although Chen Cuo and Song Zhiji were not familiar with each other, he had heard of him. He was handsome, academically excellent, and polite and well-mannered.

Compared to Su Heng...

Chen Cuo turned to look at Su Heng, who was sulking, and couldn't help but sigh.

Sigh, it seems I still need his help, otherwise we have no chance of winning.

Therefore, Chen Cuo devised a comprehensive plan for Su Heng.

Su Heng was completely unaware of this.

After returning home and taking a shower, Su Heng sat on the sofa in his room, picked up his phone and scrolled aimlessly, unable to concentrate on anything except the post Chen Cuo had shown him earlier that day.

"I just wanted to see if that kid Chen Cuo listened to me. I had no intention of having anything to do with Liang Qing."

Su Heng muttered to himself as he logged onto the campus forum, where the top post on the trending list was that particular thread.

He clicked on it, and the main topic was Song Zhiji and Liang Qing, but it veered off course later.

Seeing Liang Qing being paired up with the four of them in this post, Su Heng scoffed.

She's capable, but she doesn't want any of them.

The rumors about her and Song Zhiji are probably false; she clearly dislikes all four of them.

Scrolling down, I saw the voting link again, and the results were already in.

Su Heng paused, surprised to find that he and Liang Qing had the most votes, followed by Song Zhiji, Qin Zhouyu, and Yan Su at the bottom.

He turned off his phone screen, leaned back casually on the sofa, looked up at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, and said with a complicated expression, "So, everyone originally thought that Liang Qing and I were the best match?"
