My Childhood Sweetheart Gradually Puffed Up CH.9

Chapter 9: The Star Group’s Strategy for Conquering the World

Wen Yu had no idea when Fu Chengque formed a “study group,” and he was added to it.

Oh well, since he’s been added, he’ll just go along with it.

Improving his academic performance was currently one of Wen Yu’s more urgent thoughts.

Among the group members, Fang Ling and Lu Min had better grades than Wen Yu and Fu Chengque, with Lu Min ranking even higher in the class.

With the attribute bonuses, Wen Yu’s learning ability had also been enhanced. If someone was willing to help him, his grades would definitely improve faster.

After school, in the classroom.

Fu Chengque was very happy. The study group she led was officially established, giving her a sense of accomplishment.

“Today is the first after-school study session organized by our ‘study group.’ Let’s give a round of applause!”

There were only a few scattered claps.

“Leader Fu, I suggest giving our group a name.”

“Xiao Gua’s suggestion is good, I agree! Let each person come up with a proposal and write it down on paper.”

The group members then lowered their heads to write.

Fu Chengque moved her chair closer to Wen Yu and peeked.

Wen Yu quickly shielded himself.

“What are you doing? Do you have to peek at this too?”

“Stingy, I’m the group leader, what’s wrong with me taking a look!”

“Stealing needles when young, stealing gold when old. If you’re peeking at my answers now, are you going to peek at me bathing in the future?”

Fu Chengque spat, “What nonsense is this? Who would peek at you bathing, shameless.”

Retracting her thoughts, Fu Chengque hugged her head and began to contemplate the group name. It had to be catchy, planned, and forward-thinking enough!

It not only had to meet current needs but also prepare for her future ascent to the top of the world…

In case future humans write her biography or history books, recording a line: The great Empress, during her high school days, established the [Teacher, I still don’t understand this question group], which was the predecessor of the Empress Cabinet…

How prestigious!!!

It must be something grand.

Identity, the identity of Empress was very important…

Got it, let’s combine Empress’s initial ideals with the excellent roles of a few supporters… Let’s call it…

[Conquer the World Strategy Star Group]

!!

So satisfying!

***

Fu Chengque, pleased, finished writing, while the others also finished.

The leader gathered the notes and directly called out the names.

“Peng Hui, ‘This Time I Will Definitely Get a High Score Group’.”

“Oh! Chengque, what are you doing, how did you pronounce it?”

Xiao Gua snatched the note, feeling a bit embarrassed.

“It’s no use snatching, I’ve already finished reading it,” Fu Chengque proudly continued, “Fang Ling, ‘Aiming High Group’.”

“Wow, that’s too cheesy,” Xiao Gua directly criticized.

Lu Min also chimed in, “Yeah, it’s a bit cheesy.”

Fang Ling rolled her eyes angrily and turned her head away.

“Next, Lu Min, ‘Dreams of Attending Qingbei Group’.”

Xiao Gua burst into laughter after listening, “Hahaha, are any parents in our group?”

Fang Ling seized the opportunity to happily retort, “Lu Min, your daydreaming stopped in fifth grade.”

Lu Min reached out to pinch Fang Ling’s waist, gritting her teeth, “Let you say it!”

Wen Yu really wanted to say, you guys can continue, I can still watch.

At this point, Fu Chengque began to present her proposal:

“Wen Yu, ‘Advancing Toward the Stars Group’.”

“Oh, this is good.”

“It’s quite artistic, I didn’t expect that.”

“I like this, huh…”

Fu Chengque, the group leader, felt a little flustered. She hadn’t even presented her proposal yet, how come Wen Yu’s proposal received unanimous approval from everyone?

“Cough cough! There’s mine too…”

Several gazes converged on her.

“The name I thought of for the group is—’Star Group of World Conquest Strategies!'”

“?”

“?”

“?”

“…”

“Still having a high fever?”

Xiao Gua looked at Wen Yu, who nodded in agreement.

“Wow, didn’t expect Chengque to… be quite…”

“Chuuni.” Wen Yu interjected.

Xiao Gua raised her eyebrows, asking, “What does that mean?”

“It means during middle school, that period, especially childish, filled with fantasies. Having some kind of adolescent self-consciousness. We call this ‘chuuni.'”

“I get it, I get it, there were quite a few cases like that in junior high.” Fang Ling nodded vigorously.

“But Chengque is in high school now.”

“Some people may develop symptoms later… it’s normal.”

“So, it’s possible? What should we do as friends, classmates?” Xiao Gua asked.

“This illness is hard to cure. But as time goes on, patients will gradually realize their absurdity and slowly correct it. So, we believe that during this stage, if the patient’s behavior and actions are harmless, just go along with it.”

“Got it… then…”

Everyone looked at Fu Chengque, who looked completely bewildered.

“Cough cough, let’s tentatively agree on this group name. What was it… conquering strategic stars?”

Wen Yu corrected sternly, ” Star Group of World Conquest Strategies.”

“Oh, right, right, that’s it. Let’s go with that then. I, Xiao Gua, agree.”

“I agree too,” Lu Min raised her hand.

“In principle, I agree,” Fang Ling nodded as well.

Wen Yu slapped the table, already seizing the leadership position.

“I also agree, unanimous approval. This study group is officially named Star Group of World Conquest Strategies’, applaud!”

Clap clap clap, a lively and sincere applause.

Fu Chengque’s reaction was a bit delayed. She was still immersed in thoughts like “Do I really have an illness?” “Are they cooperating with me now?” She suspected everyone.

It took her a while to come to her senses, and she felt resentful:

Alright, you guys. Wait until the day when I, Chengque, reign supreme as Empress. You’ll tremble then, regretting your ignorance and arrogance at this moment.

On the other hand, there was also joy. In any case, the group name had been approved.

Fu Chengque pondered for a moment.

“I think it’s necessary to establish group guidelines.”

“Indeed. Without guidelines, nothing significant can be achieved,” Wen Yu quickly added.

Fu Chengque glanced at Wen Yu, the young man looking serious.

She felt a bit annoyed and a bit happy in her heart. Annoyed because Wen Yu was clearly teasing her, but happy because Wen Yu could cooperate with her like this.

What a good lackey!

Wen Yu is quite clever.

“Guidelines are too difficult… do you have any suggestions, leader?” Fang Ling frowned and asked.

“Um…” Fu Chengque hesitated for a moment, “I don’t have any either…”

The girls fell silent, and Wen Yu coughed lightly to set the pace:

“I do.”

“I knew you would, go on, my loyal henchman!”

Wen Yu: “?”

Wen Yu slowly said, “There are three guidelines: first, to achieve high grades; second, to have a fat wallet; third, to have many companions.”

Fu Chengque repeated twice, her eyes shining brightly.

“Great! That’s it!”

The Empress was very happy.

Wen Yu was even more satisfied. Three sentences, two were copied, and one had a bit of personal input.

You see, in this group, besides being able to improve grades, with just a few people, Fu Chengque could still be the leader. Can they do the other two items? No, they can’t!

They don’t have that ability, you know?

To fill up their wallets, high school students definitely can’t do it.

To have many companions, they have to invite people. Who would join the ” Star Group of World Conquest Strategies “?

So, they can only focus on studying.

Studying makes him happy.

Everyone should be happy!
