However, Song Chaoran became a target of Tong Fei’s due to her association with Chu Qing, and Chu Qing, in turn, defended Song Chaoran. This incident was interpreted in various versions that circulated throughout the school, including the aspect of Chu Qing’s ambition to rank in the top 10.

Rumors seemed to have spread like wildfire. Within just one class, almost everyone in Jinmen First High School, from the principal and dean to the cleaners and guards, became aware of a boy’s audacious goal to enter the top 10 of the cohort.

As for the real situation, it had long changed with word of mouth. Chu Qing had gone from being a person who had no choice to becoming an arrogant person and was forced to make a statement.

Many people, especially the girls, expressed their discontent with Chu Qing. The notion of a boy attempting to surpass them was seen as an affront, particularly by those in the top 10. They found it utterly unacceptable and felt their positions were being challenged.

However, Tang Ziyan, who was the top student in the cohort, was an exception. After she heard the news, she was only stunned for a moment. Then, she said to her close friends, “I’ll go find him.”

Tang Ziyan’s friends were unsure of her intentions for seeking out Chu Qing. They wondered if she wanted to inquire about his aspirations to be in the top 10 of the cohort, pursue a romantic relationship with Song Chaoran, or address her delusional attempt to win his love.

Among the boys, various opinions and reactions could be observed. Some admired Chu Qing for his ambition and goals. They saw him as someone worthy of respect and support. On the other hand, there were individuals who enjoyed stirring up trouble and spreading rumors, claiming that Chu Qing intended to humiliate a girl. Additionally, there were those who took a more neutral stance and simply awaited the outcome, curious to see how Chu Qing would fare in his pursuit.

When Tang Ziyan brought her close friends to Class 6, the atmosphere in the classroom became tense. Only Chu Qing remained sound asleep, oblivious to the commotion around him. It seemed as though he had tuned out the outside world, completely unaware of the noise and discussions happening nearby. “W-What brings you here with so many people?” No one in Class 6 had the courage to confront Tang Ziyan. As the class monitor, Song Chaoran reluctantly gathered her courage and spoke up.

“So you’re the class monitor of Class 6, Song Chaoran—the one who wants to snatch our boss’s man?” Before Tang Ziyan could speak, a woman beside her sneered.

“1-1…” Song Chaoran stood in front of Tang Ziyan and felt ashamed. Her face was red. She didn’t know how she felt about Chu Qing.

To Tang Ziyan, it was meaningless to attack Song Chaoran. It was too boring. She changed the topic and asked, “Where’s Chu Qing?”

The crowd in Class 6 parted, revealing Chu Qing, who was sleeping soundly on his desk. Everyone had different expressions.

Tang Ziyan raised her eyebrows and asked, “What’s wrong with him?”

Despite the noise and commotion outside, she didn’t expect Chu Qing to still be asleep. But there he was, lying on the table, completely undisturbed by the chaos around him.

“Maybe he’s crying.” This was what everyone thought, but Ye Mao said it out loud.

If Chu Qing heard this, he would definitely beat Ye Mao up.

However, Tang Ziyan held a different view. She believed that Chu Qing was unique, somewhat resembling a girl. A girl wouldn’t cry in a situation like this, after all.

Tang Ziyan walked towards Chu Qing and shouted, “Chu Qing, are you alright?”

Chu Qing did not react. Tang Ziyan shouted again, but there was still no reaction.

Tang Ziyan felt a bit worried. Could something have really happened? Was it possible that despite his feminine demeanor in front of her, deep down, he was still a boy at heart, and that’s why he was crying with such sadness at this moment?

The more Tang Ziyan thought about it, the more she felt that this was possible. As Chu Qing’s girlfriend, she had to comfort him. Tang Ziyan reached out and patted Chu Qing’s shoulder.

However, before she could do it, Chu Qing subconsciously dodged. This was Chu Qing’s instinctive reaction. His vigilance was terrifyingly high. However, this woke Chu Qing up. He looked up and saw Tang Ziyan in front of him.

Chu Qing opened his mouth and yawned. Then, he smiled and said, “Why are you here? What’s up?”

Chu Qing didn’t look sad at all, let alone cry.. If Chu Qing knew what everyone was thinking, he would definitely be confused and ask, “Why must 1 be crying?”
