Chapter 726: Exposing A Lie
After that incident, the morale among the students was greatly affected. Many students who were originally on postgraduate leave accepted invitations from some Ivy League universities and went overseas.
Chancellor Liao could no longer tolerate such a thing happening again. This was not a simple win or loss, but a competition between countries to win glory for the country.
Chancellor Liao looked deeply at Sheng Yang. He thought that he would need to spend more time persuading Sheng Yang, but…
“I agree!” Sheng Yang was the first student to accept the challenge.
Although she was usually afraid of trouble, her mind was very clear when it came to crucial moments.
Chancellor Liao stared at her with joy in his eyes. “Really?”
“Me too.” Jin Lu stood up as well. “Last year, when the students from Ivy League came for a visit, I had a meeting with Academician Zhao overseas. I had some regrets over it.”
He smiled. “Looks like I’m getting the chance to fulfill my dream this time.”
The other students also responded.
Xue Xue pursed her lips and was a little hesitant. She had wanted to take the entrance exam for an Ivy League university. If she joined the rest and defeated the other party, she would definitely offend the other party. Wouldn’t that be bad?
Would it affect her application later on? Would she get rejected?
However, seeing one student after another stand up, it would not be right if she was the only one who did not participate. If she chose to participate in the end, it would make her seem very spineless.
Helpless, she had no choice but to step out. “I’ll join too.”
“Good, good.” Chancellor Liao was moved to tears. These students were the backbone of China. It was precisely because of this fresh blood and endless young power that China could develop so quickly.
After that, Chancellor Liao distributed a set of information to everyone, even if it was just a last-minute effort.
Everyone else took it except Sheng Yang. Even so, he was already used to Sheng Yang’s style. Compared to the process, she cared more about the results.
After the meeting, Chancellor Liao left as well. The group was about to leave the classroom.
“Wait,” Xue Xue called out to Sheng Yang.
Sheng Yang turned around and looked at her expressionlessly.
“Your boyfriend’s name is Yi Juncheng?” Xue Xue teased.
“Yes.” Since it was already made public, there was no need for Sheng Yang to hide it.
Xue Xue’s smile widened. “Bring me to meet him someday.”
She wanted to see how Sheng Yang would deal with this lie.
Sheng Yang stared at her for a long while, using an intriguing expression to make Xue Xue feel uncomfortable. Xue Xue almost lost her temper, but at this moment, Sheng Yang said faintly, “What right do you have?”
“You…” It was fine for Sheng Yang to say this in private, but now that Jin Lu and Shu Mo were here, Xue Xue seriously wondered if this woman had no EQ at all.
“My boyfriend is so handsome. Is he someone you can meet?”
Not only was Jin Lu happy, but he was also smiling enviously.
He remembered the words she had told him the previous time. ‘I have a boyfriend. My boyfriend is very handsome. He’s very strong. It hurts if you get beaten up by him.’
He suddenly felt a little envious of the man whom she was protecting so well.
Xue Xue was completely speechless as she clenched her fists tightly.
If it wasn’t because she wanted to expose Sheng Yang’s lie, she wouldn’t have bothered to see him.

In the evening, the setting sun dyed this city red.
The soft orange light complemented the grass and trees in front of the man, making the scene appear even more gentle.
Yi Juncheng had somehow found this heritage street and brought Sheng Yang along.
In actual fact, he was worried because Sheng Yang didn’t like noise and preferred silence.
He just wanted to bring her to see where he grew up.
