Chapter 49: 049
Originally, Jiang Xuenian didn’t think much of it; it was just playful teasing. But when Shi Qingfan’s face flushed, Jiang Xuenian suddenly felt a little uncomfortable too. She hastily handed the papers to Shi Qingfan, lowered her gaze, and said, “They’re just messing around. Don’t mind them.”
“Mhm.” Shi Qingfan gently assented and walked forward to continue collecting papers.
Yin Yan nudged Gong Linglang’s arm, suppressing his excitement as he asked, “Linglang, did you see Jiang Xuenian’s and the class monitor’s expressions? They seem to be blushing!”
Gong Linglang nodded heavily: “I saw it.”
Not only did she see it, but she saw it clearly.
Qingfan blushed first, then Jiang Xuenian.
They looked pure and beautiful standing together.
Yesterday, when Jiang Feichen said that their CP fans creating an ambiguous atmosphere would help their relationship develop, Gong Linglang felt it was unreliable. Today, she was putting on a brave face and joining the CP fans in their teasing, with an attitude of ‘nothing to lose.’
Unexpectedly, it actually worked.
Although this behavior affected her image, as long as it could help Shi Qingfan, her image didn’t matter at all.
She was willing to sacrifice her reputation to help Qingfan win Jiang Xuenian.

Today was Tang Xiuran’s last day as an exchange student at St. Lyceum. He was scheduled to leave school before evening self-study.
With his outgoing personality, Tang Xiuran had made many friends in Class Three. Knowing he was leaving, everyone was reluctant and decided to hold a farewell party for him in the cafeteria.
A farewell party, in essence, was just a meal among a few close friends.
Besides Jiang Xuenian and her group, there were also a few XueFan CP fans, led by Yin Yan.
During the meal, the few of them had no time to look at the departing Tang Xiuran; their entire attention was focused on Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan.
The two leaned a little closer, and there was a collective gasp from around them.
Jiang Xuenian picked up a dish that Shi Qingfan couldn’t reach for her, and the few of them covered their mouths with their hands, their eyes welling up with tears.
Shi Qingfan adjusted Jiang Xuenian’s hair, and Yin Yan’s face flushed with excitement, almost fainting from too much sugar.
Tang Xiuran: “…” Does anyone remember this is my farewell party?
After eating, Tang Xiuran feigned tears and said, “Xuenian and Qingfan, you two should go back to the dorm. In their eyes, I’m completely nonexistent.”
Jiang Xuenian met the particularly intense gazes of Yin Yan and the others. “…Okay, then we’ll head back first. You all take your time chatting.”
No need to guess what these CP fans would discuss when gathered.
They might even engage in some *h*, so it was indeed inconvenient for the main characters to be present.
After Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan left, Tang Xiuran poured juice into the cups on the table.
Yin Yan and the others reluctantly watched Jiang Xuenian and Shi Qingfan’s backs disappear from view.
“Cough!” Tang Xiuran coughed loudly, and everyone’s attention finally turned to him.
Tang Xiuran said, “We’re all brothers and sisters who get along well, so I won’t beat around the bush with you.”
Yin Yan said, “Tangtang, just say it directly, there’s no need to beat around the bush between us!”
Tang Xiuran said, “I’m leaving St. Lyceum Academy this afternoon, but even after I leave, I’ll still care about the XueFan CP. I hope you can continue to ship XueFan with my expectations.”
Tang Xiuran looked up at Gong Linglang, “And my good friend Gong Linglang will ship them with you.”
“Although Linglang didn’t like Xuenian before, there’s a saying ‘love me, love my dog.’ Xuenian is the person Qingfan likes, so Linglang is also trying to like her.”
Gong Linglang saw Yin Yan and the others looking at her, nodded and smiled: “I quite admire Jiang Xuenian now.”
“Linglang has a phone, we can keep in touch regularly. I’ll have Linglang tell you any good ideas I have.”
Gong Linglang said, “Our goal is clear: to provide Jiang Xuenian and Qingfan with a suitable environment, support them, encourage them, and let their feelings develop rapidly so they can give us more sugar.”
Yin Yan clapped excitedly: “Well said! Let’s work hard for more sugar!”
Everyone raised their juice glasses and clinked them together, then drank them down.
The XueFan Ship-Sweetness Group was officially established.

After Tang Xiuran left St. Lyceum Academy, Jiang Xuenian noticed that Gong Linglang’s attitude towards her had completely changed by 180 degrees.
She had always known that Gong Linglang was somewhat displeased with her because of their initial encounter, and she had hoped that one day Gong Linglang would understand. The more she understood, the more hopeless she felt.
But who knew Gong Linglang would suddenly come to terms with it.
When she saw her and Shi Qingfan together, Gong Linglang would no longer secretly glare at her, and could even actively smile and greet her.
Not only that, but Gong Linglang seemed to have completely joined Yin Yan and the others, becoming a part of the XueFan CP fan group.
Could it be that Gong Linglang shipped her and Qingfan’s CP?
That afternoon, when they went to the cafeteria for dinner, it was supposed to be the three of them together, but Gong Linglang said she had no appetite and didn’t want to eat, telling them to go to the cafeteria by themselves.
On the way to the cafeteria, Jiang Xuenian hesitated: “Qingqing, don’t you think Linglang has been a bit strange lately?”
“Hmm? Strange in what way?”
Shi Qingfan asked, feigning ignorance.
“Linglang would never let me be alone with you before, but now she’s not coming to the cafeteria with us. And although she’s friends with Yin Yan, she never shipped CPs, but now she’s almost always with the CP fan group, even smiling when you and I get close.”
Shi Qingfan’s eyelashes trembled slightly, gently lowering to cover her beautiful eyes. “Maybe Linglang just came to terms with it. Besides the initial misunderstanding, Linglang has no reason to dislike you. Linglang actually admires you a bit, remember? Last time we watched the city-wide league video, Linglang was the most excited one.”
Jiang Xuenian still felt something was off, but couldn’t figure out why, so she quickly gave up.
During the afternoon big break, Yin Yan suddenly ran into the classroom from outside, “Breaking news—we have big news at our school!”
“What big news?” Gong Linglang stood up and asked.
The classroom gradually quieted down. Jiang Xuenian put down her pen and looked up at Yin Yan.
Yin Yan patted his chest and gasped a few times, his face flushed as he said, “General Huo’s granddaughter is attending our school!”
This sentence was practically shouted out.
General Huo Feng had a distinguished military career in his youth. In his old age, he no longer went to the front lines and always maintained a great and glorious public image. Students studying history would get excited when learning about him.
“General Huo’s granddaughter??? Is she in our grade?!”
“Oh my gosh! St. Lyceum has really made it. It’s not enough to have the daughter of super-rich Shi Lian, now even the descendant of a general is studying here.”
“Which grade and class is General Huo’s granddaughter in?”
Too many people were asking questions, and the voices were noisy. Yin Yan’s ears buzzed, and he could barely hear two of the questions clearly.
“Everyone, please don’t talk for now. I’ll speak first. After I’m done, you can raise your hands and ask questions. Otherwise, when class starts, I won’t be able to hear what you’re saying.”
Curiosity compelled the students of Class Three to shut their mouths.
Yin Yan nodded with satisfaction. “General Huo Feng’s granddaughter is named Huo Yashan. She’s a junior in Class 1.”
Yin Yan finished speaking and asked, “Any other questions?”
Gong Linglang raised her hand, and Yin Yan immediately called on her: “Linglang, you ask.”
Gong Linglang asked, “How does Huo Yashan look? Is she pretty?”
Gong Linglang asked the question everyone most wanted to know.
One must know that the photos of General Huo in his youth, printed in history textbooks, were very handsome. They naturally hoped that Huo Yashan would inherit Huo Feng’s good looks.
Yin Yan frowned: “Pretty… definitely not the word.” Huo Yashan’s appearance couldn’t be summarized as pretty. “I think she looks quite beautiful.”
He then subtly glanced at Jiang Xuenian.
At the time, she hadn’t realized it, but now she understood what kind of person Jiang Xuenian had rejected for Shi Qingfan. That was Huo Yashan, the granddaughter of Huo Feng, the only general in the Alliance.
She really loves her so much~
