Everyone has a competitive spirit.
Especially someone like Lin Xi, at the level of school beauty.
Her desire to win is many times stronger than that of ordinary people.
Previously, Chen Nan had stirred up scandals with the school beauties Liu Yiyi and Jiang Yan at school, which caused quite a sensation throughout the school and astonished everyone.
There were also whispers in the shadows.
Why didn’t Lin Xi, one of the top three beauties, have a scandal with Chen Nan?
Could it be that she wasn’t Chen Nan’s type?
Lin Xi had seen Chen Nan a few times at school.
She knew he was handsome and had an extraordinary presence.
But she hadn’t thought about getting involved with Chen Nan.
But sometimes.
Gossip and rumors, like invisible torrents,
Invisible though they are, can change many people and many things!
So much so that even she felt,
If she didn’t create some scandal with Chen Nan, she wouldn’t be worthy of being one of Jizhou First Middle School’s top three beauties.
It was just that.
She had been focusing on reviewing her lessons and had no time to think about these romantic entanglements.
But now, she had finished taking the college entrance exam.
And she had made up her mind.
To use the time before school started to get in touch with Chen Nan.
To let him experience her charm.

Meanwhile,
Chen Nan returned to the Jinxiu Qiancheng District.
"Get in!"
Upon arriving at the entrance of the district, Chen Nan rolled down the car window and shouted to Zhou Lin, who was waiting by the roadside.
"Holy shit!"
Seeing Chen Nan drive up in a Mercedes-Benz, Zhou Lin couldn’t help but curse in amazement, his eyes filled with shock. He hadn’t expected Chen Nan’s style to be so high-end.
But he quickly hopped into the passenger seat with excitement.
"Brother Nan, this ride is something special!" Zhou Lin said with an excited face, having never been in such a high-level luxury car before.
"It’s alright," Chen Nan chuckled, then inquired about the address of the gathering, turned on the navigation, and after a drive that lasted an hour, the Mercedes finally parked at a scenic resort.
The villa faced south with its back to the north and there was an artificial lake in front, with many peach trees planted around the surrounding hills.
It just so happened to be the peak of the peach harvest.
Upon getting out of the car, one could smell the rich fragrance of the peaches.
"This place is nice!" Chen Nan said with a meaningful smile, seemingly guessing why Liu Yiyi chose this location for the gathering.
After all,
The peaches were ripe!
Once they got out of the car,
Zhou Lin led Chen Nan to the lawn in front of the artificial lake.
A large group of students gathered on the spacious lawn, brimming with youthful vitality. Some were blowing up balloons and decorating the site, while others were preparing the barbecue.
Some of the female students were busy cutting fruits.
Although today was Liu Yiyi’s birthday party,
It was also their day to revel.
However, they did not take advantage of Liu Yiyi.
Each person had contributed two hundred yuan, opting for an AA arrangement.
From a distance, Chen Nan spotted a graceful figure moving through the crowd.
Liu Yiyi was dressed in a white princess gown, like a fairy tale nymph stepping right out of a storybook.
The pure white, as pristine as snowflakes, made her skin appear even more fair and delicate, as if a mere touch could break it.
The dress was exquisitely and elegantly cut to subtly outline her graceful yet petite figure.
The hem of the dress puffed out ever so slightly, swaying gently with her movements, light as a cloud.
Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall, jet-black and shining with an enchanting luster.
Strands of hair fluttered in the light breeze, adding a lively charm to her beauty.
Her eyes shone like bright stars, deep and luminous, yet they carried a hint of coolness that deterred people from approaching too casually.
Her face was exceptionally beautiful, her delicate features shaping a masterpiece that seemed God’s own handiwork.
Her eyebrows were like distant willows, the slightly upturned tips revealing her pride and defiance.
Beneath the high nose bridge lay her attractive lips, tightly closed like a bud about to bloom, inviting one to taste their sweetness.
She emitted a noble and cold temperament.
She was like a lotus blooming on the ice peak, beautifully solitary, to be admired from a distance but not lightly touched.
"Quick, look, Chen Daozhang is here!"
Someone spotted Chen Nan and shouted with a laugh.
In an instant.
All eyes were fixed on Chen Nan.
Clothed in a deep blue Taoist robe, with one hand behind his back, his handsome face carried a light smile, exuding an aura of approachability yet mystery.
He was like a celestial hermit, who despite not being part of the mortal coil, condescended to walk among worldly men.
The moment Liu Yiyi saw Chen Nan, her previously cold eyes sparkled with excitement, and she approached him with a smiling face, eyes twinkling with tender affection, "I’m so happy you could come!"
Chen Nan pulled out a palm-sized brocade box, "I prepared a jade pendant for you, though I’m not sure if you’ll like it."
At that moment.
A classmate teased, "Chen Daozhang, you’re too modest; anything you give would be treasured by the class leader, even if it were a ring woven from foxtail grass."
As soon as these words were spoken.
The classmates around them burst into laughter.
The nature of the relationship between Liu Yiyi and Chen Nan was something all their classmates were well aware of.
A shy blush colored Liu Yiyi’s face, making her wish she could find a hole to crawl into. This was the first time in her life she’d been teased by so many people.
True, what they said was correct, but her disposition was of a more reticent nature.
Watching Liu Yiyi’s bashfully charming demeanor, Chen Nan feigned discontent and said, "What are you all talking about with such candor?"
As he finished.
A sharp pain suddenly pierced his side.
The vexed and embarrassed Liu Yiyi pinched the soft flesh of his waist hard, her cheeks as red as ripe peaches in the mountains.
This scene further cemented the rumors of her and Chen Nan’s affair.
It elicited collective sounds of mock disdain from the entire class.
"Look, the class leader is blushing!"
"Oh my, seeing the class leader blush is rarer than watching the sun rise in the west!"
"Mom, I made it, I saw the class leader blush."
"Why the hell eat roast meat! What a waste of money, just eating dog food would have been enough!"
"We really shouldn’t have come to be third wheels!"
"Burp, I’m full!"
"Ah, a fine patch of cabbage has been plucked just like that, my heart aches!"
A group of girls also broke from their usual behavior, scoffing and laughing, "You boys are just useless. You’ve been in the same class with the class leader for three years and couldn’t win her heart. Look at Chen Daozhang, just here for a few days and he’s already captured the class leader’s heart. That’s what you call skill."
Another girl also said with a laugh, "You guys should offer him a few more toasts later and learn some tips on how to charm girls."
Laughter erupted from the crowd, and the atmosphere was exceptionally warm and harmonious.
"Enough already, is it fun to tease us like this?" Liu Yiyi was flushed and would have been angry if anyone had teased her like this in the past. But now, she was not angry at all, feeling only embarrassment and difficulty.
It was at this moment.
An untimely voice sounded, "Student Chen Nan, how did you do on your college entrance exams? Will you be able to get into a 211 university?"
