Chapter 967 - Take the Bait

Chapter 967: Take the Bait
Mo Ning’s lack of response made Huo Run a little disappointed.
He no longer smiled at her or hinted anything with his eyes, nor did he try to start a conversation with her.
All these signs made Huo Run feel at a loss.
Questions from her friends got her questioning if Mo Ning really liked her.
While she thought the idea was beneath herself, it also made her feel proud and slightly hopeful.
Nevertheless…


Mo Ning stirred her heart with his gentle smile, but did not attempt anything else after that.
Was it just her imagination after all?
Huo Run turned to her right and directed a scornful look at Mo Ning.
There he was, wearing a plain white shirt and looking vaguely languorous.
She could not help but feel dispirited and was about to look away when Mo Ning turned toward her.
For a moment, their eyes met.
Huo Run’s body froze. She wanted to look away but then saw that Mo Ning had noticed her diamond butterfly hairpin.
The young man looked like he was admiring it.
It’s very beautiful.
Huo Run could almost hear his thoughts.


His eyes were naturally charismatic, but untainted by worldly pleasure. Instead of lust, he seemed more interested in other things.
At that moment, Huo Run believed that she was truly very beautiful.
With just his eyes, that young man was able to evoke trust in him.

…

Huo Run looked away with her fair skin blushing.
Mo Ning blinked in puzzlement.
She did not know what Huo Run was thinking and she was also not intentionally flirting.
Since they were still unfamiliar with each other, Mo Ning thought she should make herself stand out before approaching Huo Run.
When the latter developed a good impression of her, then she would take her next step.

Ning.



Liu Beibei spoke up abruptly.

There’s an opening in the student association for the Head of Arts Division. Are you interested?


No.

Mo Ning shook her head and looked back at her,
Are you?


You get marks for joining the student association committee,
Liu Beibei whispered,
Besides, the Head of Arts Division can plan many activities such as a singing competition. If I win the position, I will definitely give myself some backdoor advantage!

Mo Ning patted her head and said,
Great, I support you.


Thanks.

Everyone in class saw their interaction, including Huo Run.
She threw a hostile look at Liu Beibei.
Then, she looked at Mo Ning sadly.


Head of Arts Division?
I’ll go for it too!
The university and the student association announced that the Head of Arts Division will be chosen from the first year students to encourage participation amongst the freshmen.
Liu Beibei registered herself as a candidate. Although she did not expect anything to come of it, the voting results from the freshmen propelled her to the final round of selection.
Her opponents were Huo Run and Wen Zitian.
Wen Zitian was the girl who confessed to Mo Ning on the first day of school.
She and Huo Run were both exceptionally good-looking ladies from the first-years.
However, when Huo Run’s background became common knowledge, her popularity took a nosedive.
In the final selection round, all the freshmen got to vote again.
Senior students were also allowed to vote for their favourite candidate.


In the spacious hall, Liu Beibei sat among the crowd and said quietly to Mo Ning,
I think I am going to lose.

She had no idea how she made it to the final round, but there was no way she could win against the two campus queens, Wen Zitian and Huo Run.
