Chapter 1599: The Fake Young Master Is About to Be Pampered by the Real Young Master 29

Leaving the lounge, Zhu Suisheng followed behind Jin Chen, watching him talk to many people—some he knew, some he didn't; previously he and Jin Chen had little interaction, but today he suddenly became extremely familiar and enthusiastic.

Jin Chen's response remained as cold as ever; he brought Zhu Suisheng and the teacher to meet, planning to have dinner together, but Gustav said today's events were really interesting and he'd go back to the hotel first to share with his wife, so they agreed to meet again tomorrow.

Outside the concert hall, Jiang Wen came over again to give Jin Chen a bouquet of flowers, smiling and saying today was surprising, praising his musical skill as superb.

Jin Chen took the bouquet, assuming it was still from the student council collectively and didn't think much of it, but upon hearing the praise he looked up at Jiang Wen, full of doubt.

Even Zhou An is like this and he's still calm—this guy doing a double-line strategy doesn't care at all about affection points.

Jin Chen, also a task participant, put himself in their shoes and wondered how to wrap things up, inwardly thinking this was practically hell-level difficulty.

Probably because his gaze toward Jiang Wen was somewhat complex, Zhu Suisheng frowned, pulled Jin Chen's hand, and said, "I'm hungry, let's go home to eat."

Unbeknownst to them, this scene was captured by a passing student audience and eagerly shared on the already bustling Campus Forum because of Jin Chen and Zhou An.

OP: Genius chief and the lofty flower!! What a perfect match, everyone! (picture)

: First time seeing Jiang Wen's eyes full of smiles! He definitely likes him!

: Ahhh sending flowers! As far as I know, the student council only gave flowers collectively at the start—what is this bouquet! It's Jiang Wen's hidden affection under the rules!

: Bumping the thread, you all automatically ignored the young master behind Jin Chen, hahaha, witnessing Dage's love (?)

: I feel Zhu Suisheng and Jin Chen have even more chemistry, ahhh! But their destinies forbid them from being heavily shipped!

: At this point I can't help but bring up the forum's true/false young master theory—right now I actually really hope the rumor is true.

Jiang Shui finished reading the forum post, still unable to contain her gossip urge, turned and shared it with Zhu Suisheng, who was with family arranging a celebration banquet for Jin Chen.

Shui Shui: Baby! Quick look, Jiang Wen really likes Jin Chen, huh?

Zhu Suisheng frowned, opened the forum post, and when he saw that photo his fingers clenched.

He lifted his eyes to look at Jin Chen talking with Dad, let out a soft hum, and typed a reply to Jiang Shui.

Shengsheng: I won't agree—Jin Chen would never be with him.

Shui Shui: Good! I support you! In a few days, when winter break starts, can you join me to go mountain climbing at the scenic spot? (please please)

Shui Shui: Otherwise you can bring Jin Chen along too! The more the merrier! I also invited Little Star!

Zhu Suisheng recalled what Jiang Shui had mentioned earlier—apparently her fiancé even has a distant cousin who's a "green tea" type, constantly trying to insert himself into their relationship, and the problem is he can't even tell what "green tea" means.

This time the little "green tea" will also go to the scenic spot; Jiang Shui worries her level is too low to handle it, so she wants to find backup.

Zhu Suisheng thought for a moment, waved at the approaching Jin Chen, told him about this, and didn't hide the chat logs at all.

"Want to go play?" Zhu Suisheng asked.

Jin Chen looked at the chat logs: "Who is Little Star?"

Zhu Suisheng: "Yu Xing."

Jiang Shui and Yu Xing have already developed a deep friendship.

Jin Chen: "……" This reduplicated-word world.

"Okay." Jin Chen agreed, casually ruffling Zhu Suisheng's hair, and added, "I don't like Jiang Wen."

Zhu Suisheng, caught by him for his little scheming of checking the chat logs, pressed his lips and smiled.

"Oh…"

Zhu Suisheng scooted over to snuggle with Jin Chen, cooing, "Then you also shouldn't like him in the future."

Although my impression of Jiang Wen is okay, I absolutely can't accept him stealing Jin Chen away.

As Shi Qian was preparing to take a photo, hearing this, she laughed and teased.

"Shengsheng already has possessiveness now—if Xiao Chen ever gets married…"

"Mom."

Jin Chen quickly moved to avoid trouble, taking the camera from Shi Qian's hands, and said, "Let's take a photo."

Zhu Suisheng pursed his lips, pretending he hadn't heard.

Shi Qian, clueless but cheerful, pulled Zhu Chengde over to take a photo together.

——

After Jin Chen agreed, Zhu Suisheng pulled him into the group chat created by Jiang Shui.

Group chat name: Expel the Little Green Tea Support Team

Jiang Shui: Please, everyone!

Yu Xing: Alas! Protecting Shui Shui's love is an unshirkable duty!

Zhu Suisheng: Protecting Shui Shui's love is an unshirkable duty!

Jin Chen: 1

Yu Xing: Where to? Anything fun?

Jiang Wen: I'm really happy to be able to travel with everyone.

Jin Chen looked at his phone, a question mark slowly forming in his mind. Zhou An is still lying in the hospital—Is Jiang Wen really going to travel with us?

He asked Ling Gun Gun: "Does the Strategy Department have a task specifically for collecting resentment?"

"Probably… not, right?" Ling Gun Gun, all shaken and lacking confidence, said, "I'm just going to ask the boss what's going on!"

Next door, Zhu Suisheng sprang up from bed, turned, and sent a private message to Jiang Shui: "Why is Jiang Wen in the group!"

Shui Shui: Little Star pulled him in, supposedly the situation back then was like this…

Time rewinds to before the group was formed.

Having watched the entire livestream, Yu Xing was very excited; he and Yu Xing quickly packed up Zhou An's things to send off, and after tiring themselves out, the two decided to go out for something good to eat—mainly because Yu Xing was treating.

At the restaurant they ran into Jiang Wen again; Yu Xing pulled him to ask about the situation then, and it turned into three people sharing dinner.

Just then Jiang Shui called, asking Yu Xing to join the hiking group, also saying that Jin Chen and Zhu Suisheng would be going, so he could bring a friend as well.

Yu Xing crept over to eavesdrop on the call, immediately declared he'd go join the fun, grabbed Yu Xing's bear‑cap and got him to agree, so the table of three would have only Jiang Wen left out.

Thus Yu Xing, to avoid awkwardness, politely asked Jiang Wen if he wanted to come along—after all, Jiang Wen's reputation as a "lofty flower" was too grand, and Yu Xing assumed he'd surely refuse politely.

As a result, Jiang Wen agreed on the spot.

Yu Xing was petrified, stunned for a while, his mind filled with 'I rely on myself, just being polite, polite,' wondering why he had agreed.

Jiang Wen's reason was: 'Since you want the green-tea girl to give up your friend's fiancé, you need someone who can keep him from joining your two-person world, and you two are just a perfect pair—doesn't that give him an opening to take advantage?'

Probably the phrase 'a perfect pair' pleased Yu Xing; he, enjoying the spectacle, nodded without minding the fuss: 'That makes sense.' Then Jiang Wen was stepped on under the table by Yu Xing.

This opinion was ultimately adopted by Jiang Shui.

Shui Shui: So it turned out to be like this now; Senior Jiang came to drive a wedge between the green-tea girl.

Zhu Suisheng actually felt it made some sense, and besides, Jin Chen had just said he would never fall for Jiang Wen, so he wasn't as opposed in his heart.

Back in the group chat, they had already been discussing tactics to deal with the little green-tea girl who was meddling in their relationship; Jin Chen wasn't chatting in there, perhaps he had already fallen asleep.

Zhu Suisheng rolled around on the bed, then got up to look at the gift Jin Chen had given him, carefully framing the sheet music, and then gazing at the empty space on the wall where the picture frame hung, thinking of finding a time to place Jin Chen's manuscript alongside it there.
