Chapter 97 The Harder You Try, the More Unfortunate You Are

Shen Zhi pressed his fingertips hard on the lit screen, leaving a crimson mark.

Shen Zhi tried hard to calm his violently beating heart and skillfully deleted the text messages. He had been receiving these harassing messages since the beginning of the school year, and he had received so many of them that he had lost count.

The threats and temptations, both overt and covert, constantly revealing his true face, made him panic and fearful.

Not just text but also photos.

Sometimes it was him with a twisted and dark look in his eyes when no one was around, sometimes it was him hiding and eating dry and hard steamed buns, that person seemed to be everywhere.

Rather than being afraid of being spied on, Shen Zhi was more disgusted by the contemptuous and superior attitude between the lines of that person's words, which showed that person's contempt and sarcasm for him.

Shen Zhi didn't think there was anything wrong with pretending to be a gentle senior from the rich second generation. Everyone has a mask, but his face is more heavy.

"Senior, here," a sweet girl waved to Shen Zhi.

When Shen Zhi looked up, his warm and kind expression returned to normal. He nodded slightly and walked towards the group of people gathered there.

When Shen Zhi actually stood on the stage, he realized that the boy who had just looked at him from a distance was so tall that he was half a head taller than him. Shen Zhi's nearly 1.8 meters tall was crushed and turned into a background.

The incandescent light shone on the boy's head, casting a large shadow on the ground, which was heavy and extremely oppressive.

Shen Zhi kept smiling, but he moved a few steps to the side on tiptoe, escaping from the boy's cage, which made Shen Zhi feel more comfortable.

"Let me take a look," Shen Zhi said casually, and the crowd dispersed and made way for him.

Ruan Zhu pursed her lips and complained, "There are so many programs for the welcome party. I told you not to download so many songs at once or it will freeze. The school's equipment is very old, but you didn't listen to me at all. Now it's completely stuck."

"Junior Song is still waiting for his speech to be reviewed with background music. Fortunately, he just arrived, otherwise I don't know how long I would have to wait," Ruan Zhu said angrily. It was already annoying because school had just started, and now it was even more annoying.

"Don't be anxious, let me take a look first." Shen Zhi's voice was gentle and clear, which soothed the annoyance in everyone's hearts and made them more convinced of this senior.

Ruan Zhu was stunned for a moment, then looked down. Shen Zhi's amber eyes were pure and elegant. He gave her a soothing smile, and then fiddled with the multimedia slowly and leisurely. His unhurried movements all showed the man's reliability.

Ruan Zhu couldn't help but blush. She was an adult, but she was still like a child when faced with things. The good and the bad were all written on her face. The president was very different from his peers. He was gentle and steady.

Every move he makes makes people trust him and follow him involuntarily.

Compared to her dissatisfaction just now, Ruan Zhu felt embarrassed instantly.

Shen Zhi first clicked a few times and found that it was indeed stuck and could not move. Then he restarted the multimedia according to his previous experience.

He did minor in information and computing science, but this major does not teach how to repair computers. Shen Zhi's experience was accumulated from being a class leader and a teacher's assistant since he was a child, and from years of promoting multimedia.

Not surprisingly, most of the time Shen Zhi would restore the multimedia to its original appearance.

But an accident happened today.

Half of Shen Zhi's face was bathed in incandescent light. The red and white light cast a profound and timeless outline on his features. His bright and slightly curly hair was flowing with a light golden hue, like a gentle oriental goddess of beauty.

Someone in the crowd swallowed, and a "gulp" sound, neither loud nor soft, spread out in the silent space.

As the president of the student union, Shen Zhi has been at the top of the list of Yuchuan University's most handsome boy since he entered the school. He has been at the top for three consecutive years from his freshman to his junior year, and no one has been able to shake his position.

Some people may not understand based on just a photo, but now that we are actually facing Shen Zhi, we know what a beauty attack is. No one can help but be captivated.

Shen Zhi was tense. The gazes from all directions made his fair skin covered with a layer of sweat, like a piece of jade soaking in a hot spring, moist and warm.

Shen Zhi is very competitive. When he heard Ruan Zhu say that classmate Song was going to give a speech on behalf of the freshmen, he couldn't control his jealousy.

This year's top science student came to their school, studying the same major as him. The girls who just walked by were also talking about it with great relish.

It may not seem like a big deal to other people, but it is completely different for Shen Zhi. He can't stand being compared with others. When people are in the same place, there will inevitably be comparisons.

Shen Zhi didn't want to be the one who was outdone.

The boy not far away was Song Hengyang. Shen Zhi felt ashamed the first time he saw him. It was not only because of his height and appearance, but also because of the noble and dignified demeanor that Song Hengyang exuded in his every move.

They are completely different from what he pretends to be.

Beads of sweat dripped down Shen Zhixiu's straight nose, like morning dew on flower petals, trembling and crystal clear in beauty.

Shen Zhi pursed his lips, his rosy lips were bitten into a straight line, and there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

Always try to prove yourself when you meet someone for the first time, even if it's just the simplest multimedia editing.

Shen Zhi's movements gradually became faster and a little chaotic. The more anxious he was, the more the thing stalled. Shen Zhi felt inexplicably annoyed.

Suddenly, a white and slender hand appeared in front of Shen Zhi. The knuckles were thin and slightly bent, tapping the keys neatly and crisply. The blue veins bulged and dissipated with clear pulses and implied vigorous power.

The multimedia system was back to normal operation in just a few seconds.

Song Hengyang's cold white wrist bone was only a few inches away from Shen Zhi, and the clean and light scent of perfume could be clearly smelled on it.

A dark look of embarrassment flashed across Shen Zhi's eyes.

"Wow! Classmate Song, you are so amazing. You finished it in just a few seconds," Ruan Zhu squeezed in and fiddled with the multimedia with an excited look on his face.

She is the head of the Arts Department. If the multimedia is not working today, she will have to go to the trouble of finding a substitute to take over the multimedia for rehearsal. Song Hengyang has solved her big problem.

Shen Zhi moved to the side to avoid Ruan Zhu who rushed in, and turned his head to see Song Hengyang's slightly lowered eyelids.

If God really has preferences, then he must have carefully nurtured Song Hengyang.

From the deep brow bones to the high nose bridge and the angular jawline, it forms a superior human body composition with golden proportions, so perfect that it looks like a one-to-one sculpture.

Song Hengyang's lips were very light in color, and his thin lips opened and closed. The words he spoke seemed to be full of disdain, but gave people the feeling that it was as it should be.

"It's quite simple," Song Hengyang raised his eyelids, his dark eyes giving people a focused look when he looked at people, he did not hesitate to look at Shen Zhi who was standing next to him.

What he said seemed to be prepared for Shen Zhi.

The boy's voice was deep and inappropriate for a teenager, like a beautiful cello playing an elegant masterpiece, hitting the eardrum and bringing a tingling sensation.

Ruan Zhu naturally didn't understand their confidence, and joked, "It's easy for smart people like you, but it's very difficult for stupid people like us."

Shen Zhi sensed a hidden meaning in the unintentional remark.

Is he also considered a fool? Then what is the point of all his efforts over the years?

"Huh!" Ruan Zhu raised his hands excitedly, "Great, it's finally done."

"Bang!" As Ruan Zhu cheered, Shen Zhi staggered and his wrist hit the edge of the long office table. The watch screen on the white bowl shattered into pieces in an instant.

The crisp sound of glass breaking was particularly obvious.

Ruan Zhu turned around and saw the broken dial of Shen Zhi's watch. She realized that she had gotten into trouble and quickly apologized: "Senior, I'm sorry. I was so nervous that I accidentally broke your watch."

Shen Zhi's expression cracked for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and waved his hand gently, "It's okay, just fix it."

Ruan Zhu still felt sorry for Shen Zhi and felt very guilty.

Many people came forward to comfort him: "It's okay, senior, all the watches you bought are from specialty stores, and they are under warranty."

Shen Zhi bent his waist, wearing a simple and elegant white shirt, which left a curved line on his slender waist, outlining Shen Zhi's superior figure.

Shen Zhi carefully picked up the fragments on the ground. Everyone was comforting Ruan Zhu. Song Hengyang, who was standing aside, did not join in. Instead, he leaned over and picked up the scattered fragments with Shen Zhi.

Song Hengyang put the picked up fragments into Shen Zhi's palm. His slightly cool fingertips skimmed across Shen Zhi's soft and sensitive palm like a dragonfly skimming the water, causing Shen Zhi's eyelashes to tremble.

"Thank you," Shen Zhi's voice was very soft, but it still reached Song Hengyang's ears clearly.

"Yeah," Song Hengyang replied politely.

Shen Zhi took off the broken watch and held it in his hand, saying softly, "It can indeed be repaired at a specialty store, don't worry."

Shen Zhimin keenly noticed that Song Hengyang was looking at him, and the curve of his mouth became a little stiff.

Counterfeits will still feel guilty in front of real treasures.

"Senior, what brand is your watch? I can go with you to get it repaired," Ruan Zhu said apologetically.

Shen Zhi shook his head, still looking like a gentle senior, "No need, the new students have just started school and you have a lot of things to do, I can go by myself."

Ruan Zhu seemed to be convinced by Shen Zhi, so she stopped talking.

Shen Zhi also smiled more sincerely, gently as if he could tolerate all the trivial mistakes.

Unexpectedly, Song Hengyang, who had almost never spoken since the beginning, spoke up, "I know a lot of store managers, I can go with you."

"It will be more convenient," Song Hengyang added, his eyes sliding across the back of Shen Zhi's slender white hand holding the broken watch.

Shen Zhi tightened his grip, and could hardly hold back his smile.

Was Song Hengyang deliberately making fun of him, or had he figured out that his watch was fake and wanted to go to the store to expose it and embarrass himself?

Song Hengyang had heard that when Song Hengyang became the nation's top scorer in science, his family gave a 20% discount on the new Yinhe series of sports cars to celebrate until Song Hengyang started school.

Their company is almost a leader in the automobile industry and has the capital and confidence to use discounts on new products to celebrate their young master's success in the college entrance examination.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhi became even more certain that Song Hengyang was deliberately trying to make fun of him.

When Ruan Zhu heard what Song Hengyang said, he hurriedly said, "Senior, Song's family is also very rich. It will be easier for you to communicate with him if you go with him."

She really didn't want to cause her senior to lose a reputation because of her.

Shen Zhi's smile faded, and his handsome and gentle features became a little serious. He inexplicably felt that they were in a confrontation. "Then I'll trouble you, classmate Song."

If Shen Zhi refused again at this time, he would easily arouse suspicion.

Song Hengyang's dark eyes trembled when he was looked at by Shen Zhi's warm amber pupils. He looked away slightly and nodded politely.

This matter was settled naturally.
