Chapter Four.

When I was being criticized, Ling Hanfeng always watched coldly without saying anything. I have no complaints about his indifferent behavior. Strictly speaking, our relationship can only be considered as enemies. He did not kick me when I was down like Mo Qianjing. I am already very grateful. How can I expect him to help me?

Although I grumbled discontentedly, a smile couldn't help but appear on my face, like a fool. There was a strange feeling spreading in my heart, so gentle, so warm. ... Although I don't want to admit it, I was indeed moved—by this person who always gives me a hard time, perhaps...? ... Maybe they're not as annoying as they seem on the surface?

Okay, then you also help me clean up.

I pursed my lips and didn't say another word.

The commotion here had already attracted everyone in the house. Upon hearing Mo Qianjing's words, someone immediately let out a soft exclamation.

Second sentence: "After the contract is invalidated, I will report your violation of school discipline, and your scholarship..."

You have been absent-minded these days. If you don't want to volunteer here for free, that's fine, but please don't waste other people's efforts and hard work! Do you have any grievances against us, so you deliberately created such a mess? Speak up!

I quickly put away my actions, but my face started to flush--what could be more embarrassing than having your enemy see your childish side?

Ling Hanfeng! Who do you think is stupid? We're not finished yet!

What exactly is it that you said you wanted to talk to me about just now?

You mentioned last time that your laptop was running very slowly and the body temperature was also very high, right? It must be because it hasn't been cleaned inside for too long. I'll help you clean it later!

I looked at the notebook on the table and felt excited. Because only Ling Hanfeng's notebook has a wireless network card and can access the Internet. When everyone needs to go online to search for information in the activity room, they usually borrow his computer, and he has never refused. If I walk over and use that notebook now, others will at most think that I am looking up information and will not have any other suspicions.

I will make up for the loss this time.

Ling Hanfeng's smile became even more friendly: "Being attentive without reason is either for personal gain or theft. So, tell me, do you have something you want to ask me?"

It's not just Zhou Xiang, the jaws of the other people in the activity room are also dropping. I shrugged and ignored this group of people who were making a fuss, took out a chicken feather duster from the bucket, and began to dust around.

I said, "So you're saying that regardless of whether I eat or not, I still have to work as a free laborer for another three days?"

"It's the Student Union!" Lu Yuxiang patted my shoulder hard. "Haven't you always been shouting that they are your mortal enemies? I was really surprised when I heard that you were helping the Student Union with their work!"

For several consecutive days, I have been pondering this issue, to the point of obsession. To outsiders, I have been unusually quiet these days. The members of the student council are quite satisfied with this - compared to my usual bright, enthusiastic, and proactive demeanor, they are more accustomed to my style of reluctant and resentful volunteering.

Things are unpredictable in the world...

Wow! The boss is treating us! How fortunate!

My eyes lit up instantly: "Can this be considered a work-related injury? Is there any compensation? Can it be reimbursed?"

I would never resort to such violent means that would lower my level of taste!'' Lu Yuxiang waved his hand disdainfully, "This time, let's play something more intellectually challenging!"

I: " ... ... ".

I didn't go to have dinner and stayed alone in the activity room, silently doing data entry work. It wasn't until my fingertips started to ache that I realized more than three hours had passed.

My heart suddenly thumped heavily.

The members of the student council immediately surrounded their president as if they had seen a savior. Their urgent demeanor made it seem as if I, the supposed tyrant, had bullied them mercilessly. Even Ling Hanfeng showed a rare expression of confusion.

So you don't have to worry about my notebook anymore, Miss Taojin.

I swallowed my saliva and turned my head pretending not to hear.

I cannot bear this responsibility at all.

What are you talking about? Hahaha... I awkwardly forced a smile and said, "I just simply wanted to help clean up the dust. What's there to worry about?"

Now you can only buy this outside. He naturally took out disposable chopsticks from the bag, broke them apart, and handed them to me.

Just like being suddenly pushed into an ice cave, I felt a chill from head to toe. With new grievances added to old grudges, Mo Qianjing, who already had a grudge against me, now spoke even more impolitely.

Not only is it unfavorable, it's simply a complete defeat. After cleaning the activity room alone, I was so tired that my back ached, my legs cramped, and I trembled when going down the stairs.

Stealing the speech? I was stunned for a moment. "How do you know he's ready with the speech now?"

In the hands of Linghan Feng, there was a box. When he placed this box, wrapped in a white plastic bag, in front of me, I immediately felt the warm temperature and smelled the overflowing aroma - it turned out to be oden packed in a plastic lunch box.

I was stunned for a moment, but not very surprised. The more Lu Yuxiang likes Mo Qianjing, the more he hates Ling Hanfeng, who is "suspected of being a rival in love". In the past, he had secretly caused trouble for Ling Hanfeng, but it didn't cause too much trouble. I guess Ling Hanfeng didn't even know this person existed.

To be honest, I am very moved.

What's going on? Wasn't she always wearing a deadpan expression before? It's as if helping for free has caused her great discomfort, why the sudden change today?

Ling Hanfeng always has a smile on his face, but the sharp gaze behind his lenses makes me dare not meet his eyes.

Ling Hanfeng's smile has always been warm: "Although I don't know what your purpose is, when you stare at my notebook, you behave like a dog staring at a bone. This silly expression can only be seen when you come up with some money-making ideas."

I was overjoyed as I watched him take out his laptop from his backpack, hand it over to me, and then... Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Sighed almost inaudibly, I walked to the door and pressed the switch on the wall. The incandescent light on the ceiling lit up, brightening the whole room. I turned on Mo Qianjing's computer again, took out the thick materials from the cabinet, and started entering the data from the beginning. In the quiet room, there was only the rapid tapping of the keyboard for a long time. If I hadn't suddenly heard a voice, I would have thought that I was the only one here.

I want to put Lin Hanfeng in his place and deflate his arrogance!

The boy who was called by his name looked confused.

This business is so successful, I am very proud. However, before long, Mo Qianjing came knocking on my door. As soon as she saw me, she angrily exclaimed, "Counterfeit is shameful!"

So Ling Hanfeng was satisfied and content, while I became depressed and sad.

Very motivated, not bad.

Do you know where this document is?

We don't want stumbling blocks like you!

If you engage in this speculative activity again, our contract will be void.

I widened my eyes and looked at him incredulously.

Restart? Did you save it?

Mr. President, would you like me to help you clean your laptop?

I have inquired clearly. Because there are many things to do at the end of the year for the Student Union, Ling Hanfeng usually prepares the manuscript one month in advance. He did the same thing last year. "Even if he suddenly finds that the manuscript is missing a few days before the speech, he will definitely panic and be flustered. Our goal of humbling him will be achieved. Hahaha!" said Lu Yuxiang.

Perhaps she was shocked by my cheesy words. Mo Qianjing opened her mouth but didn't say anything. Ling Hanfeng's gaze towards me became more meaningful, but I just smiled at him.

I don't want anyone to come to me with the excuse of "working in the student union until my stomach hurts" to claim work-related injury.

"It's not that kind of thing!" Lu Yuxiang looked around, seeing that no one was paying attention to us, he directly pulled me into the bushes on the side of the road. Once we stopped, he immediately turned around, his eyes shining as he looked at me.

It has to be said that the hair clip is really beautiful, stunningly beautiful! Wearing it on Mo Goddess's dark and smooth long hair makes it even more dazzling. Lu Yuxiang secretly took several beautiful photos and sent them to me, constantly praising his goddess. The girls in the class are also discussing the beautiful hair clip of Mo Qianjing. Listening to everyone's envy and admiration, I suddenly had an inspiration--there are so many people who like this kind of hair clip, this is a huge business opportunity!

I immediately shivered, but since the words were already spoken, I could only force myself to nod stiffly.

What's going on? What are they arguing about!

It took a full quarter of an hour, and the quiet activity room finally heard the whispering of the crowd. Although they huddled together and tried to lower their voices, every word reached my ears without missing a single one.

Ling Hanfeng stared at me for a while, probably unable to figure out what was wrong. Finally, he nodded slowly.

Get out!

Key shot played!

Go to hell! Who would still eat that?

Then I quickly slipped away.

I see.

Lu Yuxiang chuckled twice, put on a mysterious expression, and raised his eyebrows at me.

How to deal with him? I asked, "Although I have learned a little karate, I don't want to get into fights!"

The task set for today is to do a thorough cleaning. Since someone is taking care of it, everyone can just relax, right? I'll treat you all, let's go out for a meal.

Do you need me to remind you what you have done these days?

I said, "Can you explain a bit more, Senior?"

No problem! I replied to Mo Qianjing with a brilliant smile that surpassed 24K gold, "Thank you for your understanding and support for my cleaning work! Mo goddess, love you!"

Have you not had dinner yet? Hurry up and eat while it's hot.

There are still a lot of materials piled up on the desk. Indeed, it's a bit difficult for me to make up for the data entry progress by myself. After rubbing my tired eyes and shaking my sore arms, I decided to work all night tonight!

I don't need to turn around, I can already guess who this person is.

Walk, eat, play!

Mo Qianjing's prestige in the student union is second only to Ling Hanfeng. When she spoke, the onlookers echoed one after another. For a moment, I became the target of public criticism. Under the instigation of Mo Qianjing, the crowd became agitated, and some even began to push me.

I stood still. The person behind the computer opposite had already stood up - it was Mo Qianjing. Her face was ashen, looking like she was on the verge of exploding.

I really have put all my effort into competing with Ling Hanfeng. At that moment, I truly understood Lu Yuxiang's feelings—this despicable smiling tiger, Ling Hanfeng, must be severely humbled!

Ling Hanfeng ignored my reaction and directly grabbed my arm, stuffing the chopsticks into my hand.

But what is most hateful is that the next day, Ling Hanfeng used the excuse of "finding three strands of hair in the corner and a few scraps of paper under the table, how can you clean up so carelessly?" to extend my free volunteer time for another three days.

My gaze shifted, suddenly calling out, "Zhou Xiang!"

Ling Hanfeng suddenly turned around and waved to the people in the room.

Again, I have to look for opportunities to steal speeches, and immerse myself in the tedious task of data entry. After a few days, I feel doubly exhausted.

Lu Yuxiang's expression immediately became serious. He looked around cautiously and, after confirming that there was no one around, he leaned in close to my ear and began speaking in a low voice.

Why does she look so cold these days? Don't you really know the reason?

Why are you so proactive today? Ling Hanfeng's voice is as pleasant as ever, giving people a sense of his sincerity and gentleness. But if you relax your guard because of this, you're done for.

Miss Taojin, since you are so diligent, then let's do good deeds to the end, and by the way, clean all the computers in the activity room.

Free help to clean your laptop, don't miss this opportunity!

Opportunity!

I pretended not to see the skeptical looks from the crowd and waved the feather duster in my hand boldly, saying, "Today, I, Chi Junjun, will take on all the cleaning tasks in the activity room!"

But entrusting me with the task of "organizing Ling Hanfeng" as a serious business matter is the first time I have encountered such a thing since I met Lu Yuxiang.

No, no need... I forced a smile, pretending to suddenly remember something, and knocked my palm with my fist, exclaiming, "Oh! That's right, Zhou Xiang asked me to inventory the equipment in the student activity room. I, I'll go ahead!"

Eliminate the data demon king! Oh oh ohーー

You scared me to death, you know!

The Tianyin Academy has a long-standing tradition. Every year, at the end of the year, the Student Union will hold a report speech. On one hand, it is a summary of the work done in the past year, and on the other hand, it is an introduction to the Student Union's activity plans for the new academic year. This is to allow everyone to have a better understanding of the work of the Student Union and to provide supervision. The annual report speech activity is always held in a grand manner, and the President of the Student Union is the central figure of each event.

Ling Hanfeng: "That's right."

I know you are currently in need of money. After the matter is settled, I will not deduct a single penny from your reward," said Lu Yuxiang, as he held up five fingers.

Of course not. Lù Yǔxiáng waved his hand, then grinned, revealing a brilliant smile. "Coming to find Miss Taojin, naturally there is business to entrust to you!"

Unexpectedly, a teasing laughter came from behind me, making me so scared that I almost bit my own tongue. I turned around in horror and saw Ling Hanfeng walking in through the door with a mocking smile on his face.

On the second day after school, I went to the student union activity room, feeling energetic and joyful.

She was probably very resentful that her beautiful hairpin was suddenly downgraded to a low-grade product that spread throughout the entire campus. She couldn't control those girls who used counterfeit products, so she could only come to me, the producer, to vent her anger. But my reasons are also very sufficient—students have demand, but can't afford your high-end products. I started my own business, and worked hard for three consecutive nights to rush out that batch of crystal hairpins. Such spirit of serving the public is commendable!

Everyone takes turns to input, working hard for several days, and all that effort is gone just like that. She looked at me with resentment in her eyes, "Miss Taojin, how do you plan to take on this responsibility?"

Momo shook her head, gave me a fierce glare, and then lowered her head to fiddle with the computer for a while. Suddenly, she froze, her expression becoming increasingly anxious, and her typing on the keyboard becoming more and more impatient. A few people had already gathered behind her, and when they saw the information displayed on the screen, they were all shocked.

How to bear?

You always know how to nitpick at me, some people never smile and have a frosty expression, why don't you go and take care of them?

Ling Hanfeng raised an eyebrow, pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then smiled faintly: "Some people? Are you referring to Mo Qianjing?"

Although I also tried to operate Mo Qianjing's computer, as she said, the forced restart caused by the power outage resulted in not only data loss but also damage to the database. The information previously entered into this computer has all been lost.

Get out of the student union!

Ling Hanfeng looked at me expressionlessly and said, "Not eating when there is food is self-torture, but self-torture is not considered a work injury."

No more sound came from behind, but I could feel Ling Hanfeng's gaze fixed on me. I didn't know how long had passed when I heard a soft door creak, followed by the sound of footsteps gradually fading away.

"Oh, this is great!" Zhou Xiang immediately smiled and said, "Will you also help us with personal hygiene during the big cleanup? Then I'll leave it to you."

As far as I know, it should be in his laptop! Chi Junjun, you are now working in the student union and have a great opportunity to access his computer. It shouldn't be too difficult for you to seize the opportunity and get that manuscript out. Would you like to take on this task?

Just as I was feeling grateful in my heart, ready to wield my chopsticks and enjoy a hearty meal, suddenly I heard the other person say something.

I knew it, I knew it! There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Ling Hanfeng, you are a capitalist who is exploitative by nature!

Amidst a warm cheer and praise, the student union activity room was cleared in an instant. Ling Hanfeng walked at the end, and before leaving, he turned back and gave me a smile.

The sun sets in the west, and the sky gradually darkens. The fierce storm of criticism and condemnation finally came to an end as time passed. One by one, people left the activity room. In the end, the only ones left in the room were Ling Hanfeng and me.

Just as I was about to disassociate myself from this box of Oden and swear to forget each other in the world, I heard that person add a sentence in a cool tone.

Ling Hanfeng has also left. In this empty activity room, only I am left.

Chen Junjun!

Data loss, the previous data archives cannot be opened. Mo Qianjing finally gave up the operation, pushed away the keyboard, and stood up straight to look at me again.

Isn't today the day for cleaning the activity room? I am actively responding to the call to participate! I announced excitedly.

Finally there's a response! I called you several times just now, but you didn't hear.

So pitiful... Has she finally been driven insane by the prolonged free service?

The room suddenly fell silent.

There isn't any! I blinked innocently, "I just saw you all working hard to serve your classmates, working tirelessly and wholeheartedly... It moved me deeply, so I wanted to help you share the burden and show my admiration. Is that not possible?"

"Ha?'' I paused and asked, "What do you mean by 'enemy within'?"

Ling Hanfeng: "No."
