Chapter 18 Spring Outing “If you don’t want to oppose me, then stay away from her…”
“Regarding the grade’s spring outing, it has been set for this Saturday. The teacher hopes students can actively participate. Of course, if you really have something to do, you can explain it to the teacher. Those who want to go can sign up with the class president.”
On the podium, Teacher Song took the time before class ended to repeat the spring outing destination and time, only leaving the classroom satisfied after receiving a unified response from the students.
For activities like spring outings that relax the body and mind and relieve study pressure, basically no students would refuse. As soon as the bell rang, they all gathered around Fang Chuning to sign up.
Fang Chuning took out a sign-up sheet for them to fill in their own names.
In another row of seats, Qin Shaoqing hesitated, “Muzhou, are you going to participate?”
Xu Muzhou was writing about a topic when he heard this. He looked up at him, “You don’t want to participate?”
“It’s not that…”
The boy clearly looked like he wanted to participate, but there was a hint of embarrassment and self-struggle in his brow.
Xu Muzhou’s gaze returned to his topic, his voice gentle: “If you don’t want to go, you don’t have to.”
“It’s not that I don’t want to go, it’s just that my dad said he would take me to City A to see my grandparents that day, but if you’re participating, then I want to participate too!”
As he spoke, Qin Shaoqing hugged his arm like a spoiled child. The half-written word became crooked, the young man’s vermilion lips slightly pursed, and finally he crossed out all the half-written answers and rewrote them in another blank space.
After they had all filled in their names, Fang Chuning confirmed the number of people. High Qiong, sitting next to her, suddenly thrust her phone in front of her, “Look at this, the video of your duet with the vice monitor has been uploaded online!”
“Oh,” Fang Chuning yawned without much energy, the dark circles under her eyes were the “spoils of war” from staying up late playing games last night.
Gao Qiong took back her phone, her fingers sliding across the screen, “There are quite a lot of comments, over ten thousand already.”
She opened the comment section, the pinned hot comments were almost all praise like “sounds so good” “looks so good”. Scrolling down, there were also some comments directly exposing the identities of the two, saying things like talented girl and boy are a match made in heaven, and among them were also some sour and envious comments, but the vast majority of comments were still very positive.
“You’re going to be famous, many boys are taking you as their dream girl hahahahaha,” Gao Qiong laughed as she shoved the phone in front of the young girl’s face, only to find that she had fallen asleep holding the sign-up sheet.
The sleeping posture was a bit challenging. Gao Qiong put away her phone and took a photo of her, then posted it on her own homepage with the words “Your dream girl is sleeping right next to me”, and even tagged that duet video hot post.
Fang Chuning was completely unaware of this.
…
When Saturday came, the bus stopped outside the school, and the students of Class 1 boarded in order under the teacher’s roll call. Fang Chuning and Gao Qiong were at the very back of the line, and when they got on the bus, there were just two seats left, but they were separate, one in the back row and one in the front row.
“Let those two sit together,” Gao Qiong suggested.
Fang Chuning thought so too, but she quickly discovered that the one sitting alone in the back row was Jiang Luoyu, and now he was happily waving at her.
“Never mind, you sit here, I’ll sit in the back.”
“No way! How lonely will I be without you for the whole journey!”
“Stop being dramatic and sit down quickly, we’re about to depart.”
With that, Fang Chuning walked towards the back of the bus with her deflated backpack. During this time, her gaze met with Xu Muzhou who was sitting in the middle seat. She subconsciously smiled at him, but the young man coldly turned his face away.
Fang Chuning’s smile stiffened slightly, feeling a bit awkward. She really couldn’t figure out this person’s thoughts, his attitude was hot and cold.
Jiang Luoyu, sitting in the back row, clearly hadn’t expected her to really come and sit there. His heart was pounding, a thin blush spreading across his delicate face, his eyes shimmering like sunlit water.
He pressed his legs together and leaned towards the window, trying to make the seat as spacious as possible for the young girl.
“Aren’t you uncomfortable sitting like that?” Every seat in this bus was quite large, there was no need to press against the window.
Jiang Luoyu shyly shook his head: “It’s fine…”
Alright then, Fang Chuning put her earphones in, adjusted to a comfortable sitting position, and pulled her baseball cap down a bit, preparing to take a nap first.
“Um… Class President?”
Fang Chuning lifted her baseball cap and turned to look at him, “What’s wrong?”
Jiang Luoyu opened his backpack, which was full of small snacks, “Are you hungry? I made cake and sandwiches, do you want some?”
Fang Chuning, who had eaten before getting on the bus, didn’t have much appetite, “No need, thank you.”
Jiang Luoyu looked a bit dejected. He rummaged through the edibles in his backpack and took out a packet of spicy strips. After hesitating for a few seconds, he still tentatively asked: “Class President, do you eat these?”
The spicy strips were something he bought to eat when bored. This kind of junk food, he didn’t know if she liked to eat it or not.
Fang Chuning, who hadn’t tasted anything spicy for several days, immediately became interested, “Sure!”
Jiang Luoyu’s eyes lit up, and he eagerly tore open the packaging and handed it to her. Fang Chuning felt a bit embarrassed, “I can do it myself.”
While eating snacks, the boy’s eyes never left her. That gaze full of admiration was obvious to anyone who wasn’t blind.
The bus drove for about three hours before reaching the destination, a remote Cuizhou Mountain, not far from which was an ancient town, part of the scenic area, with quite a few vehicles coming and going on the roadside.
The bus stopped outside a seemingly high-end homestay. As students got off the bus one after another, someone immediately started complaining: “What kind of godforsaken place is this…”
Qin Shaoqing looked around at the green mountains, his face a bit ugly, “This kind of place probably doesn’t even have toilets, right?” He complained to the young man beside him: “We would have been better off not coming at all.”
However, the girls’ attitudes were completely different from the boys’. They were like monkeys just released from their cages, some had already thrown down their bags intending to run into the green forest to play, but luckily the two accompanying teachers called them back.
Right now, Fang Chuning didn’t want to manage anything, she just wanted to quickly get a room and sleep.

If you’re like me…
Too tired of reading stories where the female lead is often foolish, weak, feeble both physically and mentally, usually in a subservient and oppressed role in society such as a maid, secretary, concubine… or to put it bluntly, typically the one who has to serve and please the male lead, always needing protection and rescue from male leads, while the male lead is often described as talented, strikingly handsome, powerful,…
Then please continue reading.
Hi there, girls!
I’m Yuushi L.
Every day, movies and comics continuously reinforce the notion that women are weak, that they can only handle trivial matters in the background, that women are petty-minded and constantly jealous, mocking, and laughing at other women, while men are strong, wealthy, and solely focused on conquering the world, with countless mindless women ready to fall into their arms.
Believe me, once you read Female-dominant (FEDO) novels, your mindset will change significantly.
I am deeply inspired by strong, independent, and rational women who have the power to take control of their lives, and I am fascinated by the way society’s gender roles are reversed in this genre compared to real life.
So I have created this web with the noble purpose of promoting the “Female-dominant (FEDO)” genre of novels.
In my country, there was a rare renowned female poet in ancient times who wrote the following about the fate of women in that era:
“Damn this life of sharing a husband,
One wrapped in warmth, the other left cold.
I’d rather have stayed single from the start,
Than to endure a life so torn apart.”
Perhaps my penchant for reading female-dominant stories is partly a way of rebelling against the realities of life.
On my site, there will be stories that are not only female-dominant novels, as long as they align with my taste, featuring strong female protagonists and fresh, captivating storylines. Usually, they will be modern or fantasy novels.
I rarely read ancient novels that aren’t female-dominant because they often contain details that easily trigger me. These include the portrayal of men having multiple wives and concubines, which was considered utterly normal in ancient society, and the frequent disdain towards women.
I cannot change the world, as the societal structure that discriminates against women and elevates men has existed for thousands of years. Changing it to truly give women an equal role in society is not something that can happen overnight. If you want gender equality now, it’s laughable. It will never happen when over 90% of national and business leaders are men.
But I can start by changing the mindset of women, sisters, and young girls. Don’t just read dull slogans urging women to be strong and independent; it’s hard to imagine. Read Female-dominant (FEDO) novels to see clearly what true female empowerment looks like.
I believe there will be more and more independent and strong women who prioritize their careers and personal stability over seeking a man to rely on.
In the future, there will be more successful female entrepreneurs, politicians, and thought leaders.
As for me, I will start by making this website grow stronger day by day.
I especially like the concept of “the male lead falls in love first, the female lead is the cold-hearted and rational one, and the male lead suffers because the female lead doesn’t reciprocate his feelings.”
Therefore, you’ll see that most of the novels on my website will belong to this trope. Of course, there will be exceptions.
In the future, I also plan to write my own novels following this concept, where the female lead in my stories will never be the weaker party. I hope I can do it soon.
The novels I highly recommend will be listed under the category:
There will be exceptionally brilliant stories, but there will also be mediocre ones. As the Female-dominant (FEDO) genre has fewer authors and readers, the number of high-quality novels is limited.
Therefore, I want to promote this genre to reach a wider audience, which will encourage more talented authors to choose to write in this style, leading to the birth of more outstanding Female-dominant (FEDO) novels.
The Chinese versions of the novels I use for translation are all sourced from various websites on the internet. You know, I don’t have much budget to purchase so many novels.
Therefore, if your financial situation allows, please support the authors by purchasing the original works. You can find the original works using the Chinese titles of the novels.

WARNING:
In some novels, there are certain unhealthy ideologies and illegal actions held by the main characters (for example, treating human lives as worthless, or casually deciding to kill someone, forcing others to do things they don’t want to do, arbitrarily imprisoning others, plotting to harm others, using violence to retaliate against violence,…).
This may be because the authors are still young and inexperienced, unaware that what they’re writing goes beyond moral standards and can negatively influence young readers.
It’s important that readers under 18 years old need to recognize these are illegal actions, not permitted to be carried out in real life, always keep a clear head while reading, treat these works only as entertainment, and don’t let yourself be influenced by those plot points.
