Chapter 10. ☆ Fat Potential Stock

Ruan Mengmeng washed her face and patted it to wake herself up.

The dormitory building of No. 1 Middle School was a newly built high-rise building, with one for the female dormitory, one for the male dormitory, and one for the faculty dormitory.

There were two sports and recreation rooms in front of the building. The surrounding flower beds were filled with gardenias and iris daisies, which are fresh and pleasant. Many resident students like to read here in the morning.

Lu Zhengyuan sat on a bench in front of a gardenia bush. He looked at Ruan Mengmeng, who walked over and hurriedly stood up.

“Your mango milkshake.”

Ruan Mengmeng took a sip from the cup. A cold drink on a hot day was most comfortable. She happily said thank you.

Lu Zhengyuan shook his head and smiled. Seeing how happy she was, he was happy too.

“Zhengyuan, what do you want to see me about?” Ruan Mengmeng asked.

“That’s not true,” Ruan Mengmeng shook her head, “He’s my neighbourhood brother who used to live in the county. I’ve known him since I was ten. He takes care of me and always takes me to play……”

She squeezed her cup uneasily, “Is it because I’m stupid and fat that you all think I’m not worthy of being He Yiyang’s sister?”

“How can that be?!” Lu Zhengyuan was anxious, holding Ruan Mengmeng’s wrist, “Mengmeng is so cute, who wouldn’t like you…… er, a sister like you.”

 Halfway through the sentence, he saw Ruan Mengmeng’s almond eyes widen, and she abruptly lowered her head to look at his hand.

Only then did Lu Zhengyuan realise that he had held onto Ruan Mengmeng in his haste and hurriedly let go of it. His words had also taken a turn in his mouth.

God, Lu Zhengyuan glanced at Ruan Mengmeng, who still had her head down. He had almost blurted out a confession.

Moreover, Mengmeng didn’t seem to reject his touch? Lu Zhengyuan’s heart beat like a drum as he thought of this.

Ahhhhh, so excited! He had come to find someone today, but he also wanted to probe Ruan Mengmeng’s attitude towards He Yiyang. It turned out that Mengmeng had always taken on the mentality of a younger sister, so there was still hope for him to chase after Mengmeng, right?

Lu Zhengyuan couldn’t help but glance at the people around him again.

Ruan Mengmeng bit the tube, half a beat slower, feeling a little embarrassed. She knew that Lu Zhengyuan was shaking her hand to comfort her and meant nothing else. It was just that she was suddenly stuck and didn’t know how to answer.

“Cough cough,” Lu Zhengyuan pressed down his excitement, “did School Sister Lou give Mengmeng a hard time?”

“No, the senior sister just had a hard time with face and apologised to me later.” Ruan Mengmeng said.

“En-uh, that’s good.”

The air was suddenly quiet. Lu Zhengyuan, who had a bunch of things to say, was calming his heartbeat, and another person was silently biting the tube, wondering if she should ask something.

“Zhengyuan ……”

“Mengmeng …… haha, you speak first.”

Ruan Mengmeng saw Lu Zhengyuan laugh and followed suit. They used to be close friends who talked about everything when they were tablemates.

Hmph. She slapped her hand on Lu Zhengyuan’s arm. “It’s all you. You’ve lost so much weight during the summer vacation. It always makes me feel like I am befriending a stranger. “

“Did you? I’m still me.” Lu Zhengyuan’s voice was a little tight.

“I know, it’s not …… you’re too handsome now that you’ve lost weight,” Ruan Mengmeng smiled, “They say that fat people are potential stocks, and this saying is really true in your case.”

“Hahahaha, does Mengmeng think I’m handsome?” Lu Zhengyuan was happy again.

“Handsome!”

Seeing her compliment him without hesitation, Lu Zhengyuan turned completely red. He wanted to laugh, but he suppressed it in his throat. The sight beside him made his face redder and redder.

He Yiyang came out of the student union office and, with a glance of his eyes, saw a familiar figure behind the flower bed. He thought that he was mistaken. The little fatty was a sleepy, lazy pig. It was impossible for her to not sleep at noon.

The sun was dazzlingly bright, and He Yiyang’s sharp eyes narrowed slightly. Heh, it really was the little fatty!

The student council president standing beside him flipped through the papers in his hands and sensed that the person next to him had suddenly stopped. He followed his gaze.

“Yiyang knows them?”

He Yiyang said indifferently, “That little fatty is my sister. Senior Zou should go first. I’ll take care of what you’ve entrusted to me.”

“Good,” Zou Mairen smiled, his clean voice like a clear spring, “Although we’ve only been together for a month, I admire your abilities. I’m very comfortable with you taking over the student council.”

“I will, senior.”

Zou Mairen patted He Yiyang on the shoulder, handed him the papers in his hand, and waved his hand. His back was relaxed and free. 

The senior year three students of the Student Council of First Middle School did not hold any positions and were fully committed to striving for the first ‘Dragon Gate'[1] in their lives. All previous presidents selected the next holder during the second semester of their senior year.

Before He Yiyang arrived, Senior Zou had not been able to select a suitable candidate and had been dragging his feet for half a year.

It wasn’t until after he came that Senior Zou personally invited him to join the student council as vice president. Needless to say, the parachuted vice-president was ostracised by many other cadre members who had been promoted to high school from our junior high school. Plus, with the news of Lou Yueru’s confession to him, he was also the subject of a lot of negative publicity before he could do anything about it.

In fact, he actually didn’t care. He found that it was a bit too troublesome and simply wanted to quit.

However, at the student council meeting at noon, President Zou recommended him as the next president, so the idea of quitting couldn’t be said.

Originally, he thought that since City C was a third-tier city, even if it was the best high school, there would be no competition worthy of being a rival. It seemed that he thought too highly of himself.

He Yiyang watched Zou Mairen’s figure suddenly disappear, and his mind flashed back to the President’s office with Senior Zou’s award trophy. He thought he should accept the challenge.

What was more… He Yiyang, with one hand in his pocket, squinted his eyes at the flower bed, his papers over his head to block the light.

The boy next to Meng Meng was, if he remembered correctly, junior Lu Zhengyuan from the publicity department! He seemed to be quite free after the meeting, huh?

[1] The Dragon Gate in this case refers to their entrance exams for the school of their choice.
