Chapter 804: Rejection
She couldn’t believe her ears. Ye Leng’an had actually refused her. How was that possible? She dared to claim that no student in the entire Capital University could resist such temptation.
“I heard you loud and clear.” Ye Leng’an’s lips curled into a smile as she continued, “Senior Sister Murong, weren’t you inviting me to join the Student Council? Since you’ve extended a formal invitation, I naturally have to formally decline.”
With Ye Leng’an’s answer confirmed, Murong Yumeng didn’t furrow her brows. “Junior Sister Ye, do you know how many people in the whole school want to join the Student Council? Being a part of it would add a splendid note to your resume.”
“I’m aware, but I’m not interested.” Ye Leng’an shrugged, indifferent. “Besides, I have plenty of other things to do. I simply can’t spare the time to juggle Student Council responsibilities.”
“Junior Sister Ye, the Student Council’s tasks aren’t burdensome.” Murong Yumeng’s brow relaxed as she continued to persuade her. “It’s definitely a great opportunity for you. You don’t need to rush your decision. Take your time to think it over and give me your answer later!”
Despite her efforts to control herself, disdain leaked onto Murong Yumeng’s face.
This Ye Leng’an truly came from a sheltered background. She didn’t even know how to seize such a golden opportunity. If it weren’t to get closer to Ye Leng’an, she wouldn’t have given her a chance! In this school, countless people wanted to join their Student Council and curry favor with her. Yet, Ye Leng’an, in her ignorance, failed to appreciate the opportunity.
“I don’t need to think about it,” Ye Leng’an replied without hesitation. “Senior Sister Murong, I truly don’t need such an opportunity. Please save it for someone else who needs it more!”
Though she didn’t understand Murong Yumeng’s true intentions, she was sure they weren’t good. She didn’t believe Murong Yumeng genuinely wanted to build a good relationship with her. After all, all their past interactions had been unpleasant.
Furthermore, she had zero interest in the Student Council. If she were just an ordinary student, perhaps she would consider joining to develop herself. But now, if she had any spare time, she’d rather spend it refining pills than waste it on the so-called Student Council matters.
Ye Leng’an’s words wiped the smile completely off Murong Yumeng’s face. Her expression soured. “So, Junior Sister Ye isn’t willing to give me any face, is that it?”
“Oh, is this an invitation or coercion?” Ye Leng’an asked with a smirk. “Senior Sister Murong, this isn’t an invitation, but coercion, isn’t it?”
Murong Yumeng’s expression darkened further. She struggled to maintain her composure and forced a smile. “Junior Sister Ye, what are you saying? Of course, it’s an invitation, not coercion. I just feel it’d be a shame if you miss such a good opportunity.”
“Whether it’s a shame or not, it’s up to the person involved, not others.” Ye Leng’an raised an eyebrow. “As long as I don’t think it’s a shame, then it isn’t. Senior Sister Murong, save such a good opportunity for someone else who needs it! Thank you for your kindness, but I decline.”
“Since Junior Sister Ye is so adamant, I won’t say anything more,” Murong Yumeng’s smile became stiff. “But my invitation remains valid. If you change your mind, you can always find me.”
Ye Leng’an smiled but remained silent.
“Junior Sister Ye, we’re all students at the same school.” Murong Yumeng took out her phone. “And you might not know! I’m also in the major of Chinese medicine. Let’s exchange contact information! If you ever need help or have questions, feel free to reach out. I’ll do my best.”
Although her invitation for Ye Leng’an to join the Student Council had failed, it didn’t stop her from trying to get closer to her.
“I didn’t expect Senior Sister Murong to be so kind!” Ye Leng’an blinked and smiled. “Taking care of me like this, even though we’ve only met a few times. It’s quite rare!”
“I just feel like I’ve hit it off with you.” Murong Yumeng smiled sincerely. “I’ve always wanted a sister like you. So, without realizing it, I just wanted to befriend you. I hope you don’t find me too forward.”
Ye Leng’an smiled but said nothing more.
Murong Yumeng wasn’t sure what Ye Leng’an was thinking, but she asked for her contact information again.
Fortunately, when she asked again, Ye Leng’an still told Murong Yumeng her contact number.
Though today’s attempt to recruit Ye Leng’an into the Student Council had failed and Ye Leng’an even mocked her, they had made some progress.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Murong Yumeng and Ye Leng’an departed.
Upon returning to the dormitory and opening the door, the other three occupants fixed their gaze on Ye Leng’an.
“What’s with those expressions?” Ye Leng’an remained unfazed by their intense stares. “Are you welcoming me with your eyes?”
“Let’s not talk about this.”
Zhu Bixuan couldn’t keep secrets. Upon seeing Ye Leng’an’s return, she immediately approached her, her face full of curiosity. “So, why did Murong Yumeng look for you? Did she give you a hard time?”
“It’s nothing.” Ye Leng’an shook her head, not hiding anything. She disclosed Murong Yumeng’s intentions. “She said she wanted to invite me to join the Student Council.”
“What?” Zhu Bixuan exclaimed.
Zhou Cui’an and Ling Weiwei were equally shocked upon hearing this. Zhou Cui’an, in particular, couldn’t help but feel a tinge of jealousy.
No one had expected Murong Yumeng to personally extend an invitation to Ye Leng’an. Considering the countless students vying for a spot in the Student Council, the entry requirements were incredibly stringent.
“However, I didn’t accept,” Ye Leng’an continued. “And then, Murong Yumeng left.”
