“Leng’an, could you speak more directly?” Zhu Bixuan impatiently glared at Ye Leng’an. “Get to the point!”
However, she soon grasped the significance of Ye Leng’an’s words. “You declined? Leng’an, do you realize what you’re saying?”
She could hardly believe her ears. Was Ye Leng’an really refusing the chance to join the Student Council?
Zhu Bixuan’s astonishment was shared by Zhou Cui’an and Ling Weiwei, both looking at Ye Leng’an with incredulity.
“I just turned down Murong Yumeng.” Ye Leng’an chuckled. “What’s so strange about that? Do you think I’m obliged to agree?”
“Leng’an, have you grasped the main point?” Zhu Bixuan wished she could shake Ye Leng’an’s shoulders to jolt some sense into her. “The point is you turned down the opportunity to join the Student Council. Do you understand what it means to be part of the Student Council at Capital University?”
“Oh, so the Student Council is that impressive?” Ye Leng’an shrugged indifferently. “But that’s irrelevant to me, right? Besides, I don’t think the Student Council suits me.”
“Leng’an, though I dislike Murong Yumeng,” Zhu Bixuan said with a serious tone, “getting into the Student Council is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Do you know? Those who get in are the cream of the crop at school. It’s a valuable network for the future! And because Murong Yumeng is this year’s Student Council president, the Murong family offers several internship positions for graduates annually. That’s why many vie for entry. Most in the Student Council secure internships. Moreover, even if it’s not for the internship, getting to know those in the Student Council is beneficial. Many are scions of the capital’s aristocratic families. These are valuable connections.”
“Oh!” Ye Leng’an nodded. “That sounds pretty good.”
Though she said this, her demeanor remained calm, seemingly indifferent to the benefits Zhu Bixuan outlined.
Observing Ye Leng’an’s composure, Zhu Bixuan was at a loss for words.
“Why are you so indifferent?” Ling Weiwei, breaking her silence, couldn’t help but ask, “Do you realize what a loss it is for you to refuse Murong Yumeng?”
Surprised by Ling Weiwei’s words, Ye Leng’an sensed genuine concern in her tone. Ling Weiwei was evidently speaking for her own good.
Despite their limited interaction, even strained relationship, Ling Weiwei was showing genuine care.
What had happened to prompt such a change in Ling Weiwei? It was a remarkable shift.
Noticing Ling Weiwei’s discomfort, Ye Leng’an didn’t push further. “It’s subjective. I don’t feel like I’ve lost anything.”
Ling Weiwei didn’t press the matter further. However, her regretful gaze betrayed her lingering disappointment.
Zhu Bixuan regarded Ye Leng’an with pity. “Leng’an, you’re really…”
In the end, she struggled to articulate her thoughts.
Ye Leng’an shook her head, amused. “If you genuinely feel it’s a loss, I’ll give you Murong Yumeng’s contact now. You’ll surely get into the Student Council.”
“Sure!” Zhu Bixuan recognized Ye Leng’an’s jest. She played along, “Then give me her number now. I’ll self-recommend right away. Maybe I’ll really make it into the Student Council! I’ll owe you one then.”
“Alright!” Ye Leng’an nodded solemnly, then recited a string of numbers. “This is Murong Yumeng’s phone. Reach out and recommend yourself.”
Hearing the numbers, Zhu Bixuan was taken aback. “You actually have Murong Yumeng’s contact!”
Initially joking, she didn’t expect Ye Leng’an to provide Murong Yumeng’s number. It felt peculiar no matter how she viewed it.
Of course, she didn’t remember the numbers.
“Yes!” Ye Leng’an confirmed, saying no more.
Zhu Bixuan sighed, feeling Ye Leng’an’s refusal was a missed opportunity. However, everyone had their own considerations and choices. As an outsider, she couldn’t interfere too much.
So, she let the matter rest.
Unnoticed by all, when Ye Leng’an shared Murong Yumeng’s number, Zhou Cui’an’s eyes flickered. After Ye Leng’an finished, she too began tapping away on her phone.
As she gazed at the number on her screen, Zhou Cui’an’s expression wavered.
She refrained from speaking, fearing her envy would betray her. She sensed Ye Leng’an wasn’t being pretentious but genuinely didn’t require such opportunities.
While Zhu Bixuan and others might not understand, Zhou Cui’an vaguely realized Ye Leng’an might not need this chance.
If she could spend lavishly without a second thought and afford luxury items, why would she care about an internship? Perhaps her future was already arranged before graduation.
The world was unfair. Zhou Cui’an desired entry into the Student Council to pave her future, but it eluded her. Yet, Ye Leng’an dismissed such a good opportunity without hesitation.
These thoughts stoked Zhou Cui’an’s envy. She dared not meet Ye Leng’an’s gaze, fearing her feelings would be exposed.
