Chapter 1079 - Extra - Lu Guixin: Soft Like A Bunny. Why Such A Big Reaction From A Slight Touch?

Tian Lu took Lu Guixin’s arm and caught a glimpse of her drinking the cola. She said in surprise, “Damn, Sis. Did you just open the can of Coke with one hand?”

And she did it like it was such an easy thing.

Lu Guixin’s beautiful and innocent face looked harmless. From a first impression, she looked really soft and vulnerable. She spoke in a soft and gentle tone, and it was hard to resist her.

Whenever Tian Lu brought Lu Guixin a drink, she would open the lid before handing it to her.

But she could not even pull the tab of a can with one hand while Lu Guixin could do that.

When the girl heard her, she raised up the can of cola in hand and exclaimed with a face full of disbelief. “Damn, Sis! I actually opened a can of Coke with one hand!”

The corner of Tian Lu’s lips twitched.

“I can’t believe I broke out today.” Lu Guixin said smilingly, but there was a nonchalant look in her eyes as she stared at Zhou Fu’s back meaningfully.

…

Under someone’s guidance, Ming City’s economy developed rapidly in recent years, and it has become an international metropolis.

The funding given to Ming City High School has also risen. Naturally, Ming City High School improved along.

The school prioritized the funds on various facilities and built new dormitory buildings.

Now, Ming City High School was even more extravagant than some of the top elite schools in the country.

Students had single rooms in their dormitories, and they were bright and spacious.

The gold-rimmed glasses were casually thrown on the table, and a cold glow reflected slightly from it.

Lu Guixin was nestled down into the couch with one of her knees bent. She stepped on the edge of the chair barefooted, and her pale, slender legs were stretched straight. Her skin was delicate and thin, and her light green veins could be seen clearly.

Her posture was unrestrained and casual. She looked totally different from her usual demure persona.

The girl’s head was slightly tilted, and she was looking at a part of Zhou Fu’s information that she had just found on the laptop.

His grades were really pretty good. Although his Chinese was seriously lacking, the perfect scores that he obtained in the other subjects allowed him to retain first place firmly and beat the person who ranked second by a large margin.

Is this a special trait of the ‘King of Science Stream’?

The girl tapped a few keys on the keyboard, and many photos of Zhou Fu appeared and filled up the computer screen.

Zhou Fu was the poster boy for Ming City High School’s admission brochures in the past two years. He was put on a pedestal, and it was expected that there were many photos of him.

Lu Guixin scanned through all the photos, and when she saw a photo of him on the basketball court, her eyes narrowed, and she stopped to look at it.

She straightened her arms and tapped twice on the keyboard. The photo of him on the court was instantly maximized to fill up the entire screen.

Among the group of boys wearing the same red basketball uniform, Zhou Fu’s figure was the most outstanding and tough one.

He was tall and slender, and he gave off a strong vibe that made it hard for others to look away.

The boy had his arms on his hips, and his muscles were smooth and full of strength.

Twisted strands of black, sweat-drenched hair fell in front of his porcelain white forehead. The tips were sharp, and his indifferent eyes made him look rather aggressive.

He had a high-brow bone, and his single eyelids made him look fierce. He had dark pupils, and his nose was straight and sharp. His lips were slightly open, and he seemed to be catching his breath. There was a slight curve at the corners of his lips, and he seemed proud like a winner.

He was really eye-catching.

Lu Guixin rested her elbows on her knees and propped up her chin. She stared at the screen with her black eyes without blinking and enjoyed looking through all of the photos taken at the basketball court twice.

Finally, she stopped at a panoramic photo. The girls who were screaming outside of the court were caught in the picture. They all looked really excited, and their faces were flushed.

Even the boys were, out of admiration, really excited.

Meanwhile, in the photo, Zhou Fu was hunched over with his hands on his legs. His chin was dripping with sweat, and he looked up straight ahead. His red jersey fitted him loosely, exposing his collarbones and ribs.

The scorching sun was in the sky, and the young man’s body was glowing brightly. It was a great distraction for the others.

Lu Guixin raised her brows slightly and said slowly, “What a seductive, wizardly look.”

How is he only the dream lover of all the girls in Ming City High School? Both men and women were pretty crazy over him.

Lu Guixin sighed and tapped on her keyboard. She was just about to look at other information related to Zhou Fu, but her fingers paused midway.

She already knew what kind of existence Zhou Fu had in Ming City High School.

It wouldn’t be very nice of her to continue to probe into his privacy.

…

The Year Three cohort.

At noon, most of the students were doing revision in the classroom or resting their heads on the table. Few people returned to their dormitory.

Under the scorching sun of late autumn, the entire teaching building was bright and silent.

But Year Three Class One was in a chaotic mess.

For the first time, the sturdy students who were usually only interested in learning got together to gossip. The center of the topic was Lu Guixin.

“Damn! The School Beauty is freaking pretty and freaking gentle in person!” A boy with tousled hair exclaimed in excitement.

“When she smiled at me, I felt like there were fireworks in my brain! A chill ran down my bones! Is she even real?!”

“Her voice is really pleasing to the ears too! There’s no way anyone can resist her!”

“See, that’s why you guys scored so badly for your Chinese. You don’t even have many adjectives to compliment her with.” Tian Rong, whose results had always been around 130 and always ranked No. 1 in Chinese, said mockingly.

“F*ck off! Idiot!”

A girl in a ponytail asked curiously. “So pretty? Do you have a photo of her?”

“F*ck! I was so mesmerized by the School Beauty’s looks that I forgot to take a photo!” The boy with the tousled hair slapped the table and complained.

Everyone stared at him speechlessly.

The Year Threes usually had no interaction with the Year Ones. Even their lunchtimes were arranged at different timings.

Many of them had never met Lu Guixin, so they thought that the guys were just exaggerating.

Pics, or it didn’t happen… They all began to lose interest.

“Go on boasting about it. If she’s really that pretty, the star search companies would have barged through the gates of our school.”

“Exactly! Also, there are quite a number of people in our school who sneak their phones in secretly. Why haven’t we seen a single photo of Lu Guixin on our school forums?”

Speaking of that, the boys who met Lu Guixin in the afternoon found it really strange too.

Given how common social media is nowadays, photos of the School Beauty would have been all over the place since she was so beautiful. It wouldn’t be an issue for her to become popular across all major social media platforms.

She might get on the admission brochures of Ming City High School with Zhou Fu and be put on a pedestal too.

But she has such a low profile.

They can’t even find a single photo of her on the net.

“Hey! Tian Rong’s younger sister is friends with the School Beauty! We can just ask his sister for a photo of the School Beauty.” A boy with a buzz cut who was there in the afternoon said.

Everyone realized that and stared at Tian Rong longingly.

“Hurry up, Rong. Get your sister.”

“F*ck off!” Tian Rong cursed. “Didn’t all of you add the School Beauty on WeChat? Get it from her.”

“How could we? What if we scare her and she thinks that we are perverts?” The boy with the tousled hair said.

Tian Rong scoffed and looked at them up and down. “You guys are indeed behaving like perverts right now.”

The girl in the ponytail was surprised. “You guys just bump into each other and you already have her WeChat?”

Another person laughed and interrupted. “Would anyone not give their WeChat when God Fu is there? So what if she’s the School Beauty? Also, I heard that the School Beauty in Year One is pretty bad in her studies. Tian Rong and the boys’ grades are so good, of course the School Beauty would try to ride their coattails.”

Zhou Fu and his group were top students. If they shared any of their learning materials, it could surely make the grades of an ordinary student like Lu Guixin improve drastically.

They all pondered and nodded in agreement.

“That’s great! Now I can use learning as an excuse to get close to the School Beauty!” The boy looked as if he was dreaming about getting up close and personal with the School Beauty right away.

“Since you have added Lu Guixin on WeChat, why don’t you check if she posted any photos on her feed?”

They all agreed.

Lu Guixin’s WeChat avatar was a pure white background, and there was a series of mathematical formulas at the top as if she was a person who loves learning.

Forget the photos on her feed. She never even posted a single thing.

The tousle-haired boy put away his phone as he couldn’t be bothered to search further. He wrapped his arm around Tian Rong’s shoulder as if they were best buddies and said with a serious look. “We bros? Tell me, are you going to do it?”

Tian Rong kept quiet.

As he did not want to be bugged by them, he took out his phone and said as he typed away. “My sister could be taking an afternoon nap at this time. She might not reply to me.”

“Okay, okay. Hurry up and send it!”

Just then, Zhou Fu, who had just returned from the restroom, entered from the back door.

His seat was always in the last row and nearest to the back door. He never participated in the weekly seat rotations.

The teachers did not dare to disturb this big boss over such a trivial matter, such as changing seats, so they let him be.

He twisted the cap of his water bottle open and lifted his head to gulp down the remaining half of the water. Then, he turned sideways and flung his wrist. Thud! The empty bottle landed accurately into the wastebasket.

A girl in a bun walked in front of Zhou Fu and handed him a few papers with both hands. They were answer sheets for their previous Physics and Mathematics monthly tests.

Zhou Fu didn’t receive them. He answered, “Put them at the podium. Whoever wants them can just get it from there.”

The boy’s tone was low and cold. There wasn’t much warmth or emotion in them. He was so aloof.

The girl looked down at the answer sheet.

Zhou Fu’s answer sheet was crowned by the teachers as a perfect masterpiece.

The answer to each question was well-crafted and concise. There would be a feeling of enlightenment even just from copying his problem-solving steps.

When the answer sheets of the two papers were handed down, the girl asked Zhou Fu for his.

She looked up at Zhou Fu, who had sat down.

The boy pulled out a heavy physics book written in full English, and he turned to a certain page.

He totally ignored the girl standing beside him.

“Xia Cheng.” The boy in front turned around and said, “Have you finished reading Brother Fu’s answers for the two papers? I didn’t manage to solve the last question for Math, please give it to me when you’re done.”

Xia Cheng nodded and handed it to him.

Zhou Fu leaned sideways against the wall and stepped on the chair spindle with his long legs. He gave off confident and youthful vibes, and he looked down to read the English book. He was really quick at reading, and he turned a page every ten seconds.

Xia Cheng smiled and took the initiative to talk to him. “Zhou Fu, did you guys meet Lu Guixin at the convenience store today?”

“Yeah.” The boy answered.

He was like an isolated island. All of the noise would be cut off by his aloof vibes, and he was so indifferent that it was as if ‘stay away, strangers’ was written all over him.

Xia Cheng fumbled with her fingers and pretended to be asking casually. “Tian Rong and the others said that Lu Guixin is really pretty and that she added everyone’s WeChat.”

Zhou Fu did not look up. He answered lazily. “Is it so? I didn’t pay attention.”

Xia Cheng didn’t understand what he meant for a moment.

The boy seated in front turned around and looked at Xia Cheng with teasing eyes. “Don’t worry, Brother Fu is the only one who didn’t add the School Beauty on WeChat.”

Xia Cheng understood now.

Zhou Fu meant that she did not notice if Lu Guixin was really pretty, and neither did he add her on WeChat.

Perhaps, Lu Guixin was really beautiful, but her results were average. Even if she had such a face, she was from a different world to them.

How would a genius like Zhou Fu fall for Lu Guixin?

When Xia Cheng thought of this, her tense feelings settled down, and her slightly pursed lips were relaxed.

Tian Rong had waited for five minutes, and Tian Lu had yet to reply.

Everyone said, “Show us the photo when everyone has replied.”

Then, they returned to their seats to revise.

…

Before class started in the afternoon.

Tian Lu knocked on Lu Guixin’s door.

The girl took a few toffees on the table, her books, and a thermal cup. “Let’s go.”

She shut the door, and when she turned around, she saw Tian Lu staring at her as if she had something to say.

Lu Guixin was stunned, and she touched her face. “Is there something on my face?”

Tian Lu tightened her fingers around her phone and shook her head.

The students in other dormitories also opened the door and saw the two standing there. While they locked their doors, they asked curiously. “Lu Guixin, Tian Lu, why are you standing there? Class is about to begin.”

“Ah, right.” Lu Guixin took Tian Lu’s hand, and they walked forward.

The two of them hurried into the classroom.

Tian Lu sat in her seat for a few seconds, then she took a deep breath as if she was mustering her courage. Then, she leaned close to Lu Guixin and said, “Sis, I have an elder brother.”

After she said that, she did not wait for Lu Guixin to answer. She sat up straight again instantly. “Never mind, he doesn’t deserve it.”

Tian Rong used her phone discreetly and replied to Tian Rong. “Bro! Give up! You aren’t worthy of my bestie! Stop asking me for photos!”

Tian Rong replied, “?”

Lu Guixin prepared the textbook and notebook for the first chemistry class in the afternoon and unscrewed her thermos cup.

Just then, someone poked her on the back with a pen.

Lu Guixin paused and turned around.

The girl in the back whispered, “Lu Guixin, I heard that you asked the great gods in Year Three for their WeChat. Everyone but Senior Zhou Fu gave it to you.”

With that, everyone around them looked over.

Zhou Fu was a popular person in the school, and so was Lu Guixin. The former was the School Hunk, and the other was the School Beauty. They both looked really good and evil.

Of course, when the two names are mentioned together, it would gain a lot of attention.

Someone joined in immediately and wanted to listen to the gossip, “What? Lu Guixin asked Zhou Fu for WeChat and Zhou Fu didn’t give it to her?”

Lu Guixin’s eyes shrank, and a cold look flashed in her eyes.

Before she could speak, Tian Lu turned her around to look at the girls in the back row, frowned, and said displeased, “What nonsense are you talking about? It was my brother and the boys who took the initiative to ask Lu Guixin for her WeChat.”

“Really?” The girl smiled, seeming to be envious, but her tone made others feel particularly uncomfortable, “So you got to add Senior Zhou Fu’s WeChat?”

Lu Guixin smiled lightly. Her voice was gentle and unhurried, “I didn’t add him on WeChat.”

“Damn! God Fu is indeed godlike!” The person who spoke looked as if she had expected it. In fact, she was looking at Lu Guixin with a sign of mockery in her eyes, and she looked like she was waiting to watch a good show. “So many people in our level came here to ask Lu Guixin for her WeChat, but he’s the only unique one. Lu Guixin can’t even get his WeChat!”

“To be honest, there’s nothing special about Lu Guixin other than her looks.”

“Zhou Fu is a seed in the university entrance exams this year. Why would the big boss, the King of the Science Stream fall for someone with such ordinary grades?”

“Senior Zhou Fu has a cp on our forum with our senior Xia Cheng, who is no. 5 in their level.”

“I know, I know. Xia Cheng is my queen! Lu Guixin’s IQ is not even on the same level as Senior Zhou Fu, it is no wonder that he has no interest in her.”

They discussed it with great enthusiasm.

Tian Lu stood up suddenly. Screech! The chair slid back, creating an annoying sound.

She stared at the students coldly. “My brother and his friends asked Lu Guixin for her WeChat and she agreed out of courtesy. Why should she add Zhou Fu when he didn’t ask for it?”

The girls scoffed. “Do you think that such a King like Zhou Fu would ask Lu Guixin for her WeChat? Are you thinking too highly of yourself?”

Zuo Ran smirked. Almost everyone in Year One knew Lu Guixin. She was well-respected and loved, but she has met her obstacle among the Year Three cohort.

Now, many people think that she was a joke.

Tian Lu’s chest burned with fury, and just as she was about to say something, the bell which signaled the start of the class rang. Everyone returned to their seats immediately and kept silent.

Lu Guixin tugged at her. “Sit down first, the teacher’s coming anytime now.”

Tian Lu sighed heavily and glared at the gossipers as she sat down, annoyed. She turned to the side and saw that Lu Guixin was really calm.

She couldn’t get it. “Aren’t you mad? The Year Threes were the ones who came to you first and now they’re making it sound as if you were the desperate one. In future, it’s definitely going to get twisted into more ridiculous ways.”

Lu Guixin smiled. She still looked warm and gentle. “It’s okay, but thank you for speaking up for me.”

“You have such a good temper. If I were you, I would have beaten them up.” Tian Lu pursed her lips angrily.

Lu Guixin tried to soothe her. “Alright, alright. Don’t be mad, I’ll treat you to bubble tea in the afternoon.”

The nicer Lu Guixin was, the more indignant Tian Lu felt.

She took out a chemistry textbook from a stack of books, threw it on the desk, and said in a muffled voice, “I’m unstanning! I don’t like Zhou Fu anymore. My bestie was wronged! F*ck it! My bestie is such a great person. It’s obviously Zhou Fu who can’t match you!”

Lu Guixin couldn’t help but laugh. Then, she told her softly, “Actually, I have brothers too.”

Tian Lu’s eyes lit up. “Are they as good looking as you are?”

Lu Guixin shook her head and answered with a straight face. “Slightly uglier than me.”

…

Just as Tian Lu had said, the rumors spread on the forum in ridiculous ways.

Now, people were spreading that Lu Guixin had confessed to Zhou Fu and got rejected by Zhou Fu on the spot. She had completely embarrassed herself.

Lu Guixin turned a deaf ear to all of that. She focused on getting things done and was at peace with everyone. She did not get angry too.

Eventually, people began to talk badly about her openly, right in front of her face.

“Doesn’t she have any sense? Why would God Fu fall for her?”

“Isn’t she humiliated now.”

Lu Guixin ignored these rumors completely. She did not react to any of them at all.

During this period of time, the Year Threes did text her.

But she would kill the conversations politely and gave off a typical ‘low EQ’ vibe.

Despite this, the boys were still passionate. They initiated conversations with her every day.

She never bumped into Zhou Fu and the guys again.

Thursday afternoon, everyone was tidying up their classrooms to arrange the venue for Year One’s second monthly examination.

Lu Guixin walked out of the classroom to wash the cloth after she cleaned the blackboard and podium.

She bumped into Xi Yan in the corridor.

“Hello, Ms. Xi.” Lu Guixin greeted politely. There was a slight smile on her exquisitely beautiful face.

The rumors on the forum spread like wildfire. There was no way that Xi Yan wouldn’t know about it.

Seeing that she was in a normal mental state, Xi Yan sighed in relief. But, she was still a little worried. “Guixin, come to my office in awhile.”

Lu Guixin nodded. “I’ll come right after I wash this cloth.”

Xi Yan acknowledged with a hum.

…

Xi Yan was the vice level head of the Year Ones. She had a private office.

“Knock knock-”

Xi Yan put her pen away when there was a knock on the office door. She turned in the direction of the door. “Come in.”

Lu Guixin pushed the door open and walked towards Xi Yan obediently. Then, she greeted softly. “Ms. Xi.”

Xi Yan smiled. “Is everything going okay for you here?”

“Yes.” Lu Guixin answered. She knew what she was going to ask, so she initiated a response. “Don’t worry about me. I didn’t take the rumors about Zhou Fu and I on the forums to heart.”

After all, she was Gu Mang’s daughter. They were very much the same in terms of how carefree they were.

It was just that their grades were too different.

Maybe Lu Guixin just didn’t want others to constantly ask about her grades, so she came to Ming City High School, where no one knew her.

Xi Yan sighed inwardly. “I will contact the admins to remove the post so you can focus on your exams in peace.”

Lu Guixin shook her head. “It’s fine, I’m not bothered. Let them say what they want.”

Xi Yan opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but when she met Lu Guixin’s pure, clear, and gentle eyes, she decided to let it go. She nodded. “Alright.”

She saw a can of sweet milk that another teacher had left on her table for her, and she handed it to Lu Guixin. “Take this back to class with you.”

Lu Guixin did not reject. She received it and answered politely. “Thank you, Teacher.”

…

The second monthly examination.

Students who had just entered the first year of high school were still not used to taking nine subjects in one exam.

By the time they got to the last subject on Sunday afternoon, everyone would be exhausted and not care much about the grades.

They were just thinking about where to go after the exam, what to eat, and to relax.

The exam venue for the monthly examination was arranged based on the grade ranking of the previous exam.

Tian Lu was only bad at Physics. She ranked among the top in class for all other subjects, and her grades were better than Lu Guixin’s.

She was not in the same exam venue as Lu Guixin.

There was still some time before the exam started. Tian Lu stood along the corridor and rested her arms by the window.

She glanced at Lu Guixin, who was sitting with her face propped up by her hand. Lu Guixin was bored and shaking the small dice cup on the pen holder. Then, she glanced at the other candidates, who were all reading and reviewing their study materials. “…”

Although Lu Guixin had bad grades, the School Beauty was, after all, the School Beauty. She had a pretty good mentality.

One word, stable.

She only took along two pens, an optical answer sheet, and an answer script.

With Lu Guixin’s sloppy learning attitude, she was still quite a talent to be able to maintain an average score.

“Bestie, let’s go shopping after the exams. I’ll treat you to some hotpot.” Tian Lu passed Lu Guixin a milk-flavored lollipop.

Lu Guixin removed the wrapper and put it in her mouth. As she shook the dice at the top of her pen and was sorry. “I can’t today. My uncle is coming to visit me and I’ll be having dinner with them.”

“It’s alright, we’ll eat together next time.” Tian Lu said. When she noticed that Lu Guixin had been shaking the dice all this time, she asked curiously, “Why do you like to play with the dice so much?”

All of Lu Guixin’s pens carry a small dice cup. One in black and one in white. There is nothing on the pen, just an x ??mark.

Tian Lu had searched it up on the web before, but she did not find the brand.

Lu Guixin tapped her face lightly and nonchalantly with her slender and fair fingers. As she spun the pen around, the dice made sounds. Then, she said, “I rely on it for my examination.”

“Did you forget some words?” Tian Lu added. “Rely on it to make guesses?”

Lu Guixin looked at her and smiled. Her eyes curled up like a crescent moon, and there was a starry glow in her eyes. Her pale skin glowed, and she was extremely beautiful. It was almost hard for others to take their eyes off her.

Tian Lu was a little dazed by her extraordinary beauty, but she snapped back to reality and crossed her arms. She made a resistant expression. “Bestie, stop smiling at me. I’m afraid that I might not be able to resist you!”

Hearing this, Lu Guixin suddenly remembered Zhou Fu’s words.

“Is she very pretty?”

“Oh, I didn’t notice that.”

Just then, a rather familiar voice was heard. “Tian Lu.”

The two of them looked over and saw Zhou Fu and Tian Rong walking towards them.

Lu Guixin did not expect Zhou Fu to appear right when she was thinking about him.

She propped her face up by her hand and turned to the side. Then, she looked up at Zhou Fu.

The boy was very tall. He wore the Year Three white school uniform with black sleeves, and the zipper was left open casually. Inside was a black tee shirt.

Looking up, his side profile was clear and superior. His nose was straight and sharp, and his eyes were deep. There was not a single extra line, and he was unbelievably exquisite. His lower jaw was slightly clenched, and he looked fierce and prideful.

He gave off a rather stifling aura, and he really looked good.

It was just that he kinda lacked some patience, and he had quite a bad temper.

He had black wireless earbuds in his ears, and his porcelain white skin was like jade in comparison to the dark, black color. It made him look a little cold.

Zhou Fu sensed the bold and unrestrained gaze at him, but he did not react to it. It was as if he had long been used to this kind of gaze.

As usual, he did not look at Lu Guixin at all.

Tian Lu met two Year Three big bosses at the Year One building and asked curiously, “Why are you here at our building?”

As she said that, she glanced at Zhou Fu. As people had made rumors about Lu Guixin and spoke badly of her, Tian Lu no longer idolized Zhou Fu nor viewed him through a colored lens. So, she looked away after one glance.

Tian Rong lifted his chin in the direction of Lu Guixin’s exam venue and laughed casually. “Ms. Guo has something on, so she told Brother Fu to help with the invigilating.”

The teachers in Year Three invigilated the Year One exams, while the teachers in Year One invigilated the Year Twos. Similarly, the teachers in Year Two invigilated the Year Threes. This has always been the arrangement for invigilation.

When Tian Rong looked at Lu Guixin, he dodged a little as if he was a little guilty.

The drama on the forums lately was all against Lu Guixin.

If someone had to take responsibility, they would be the first ones.

Even if they explained on the forum that they were the ones who asked the School Beauty for her WeChat, it was a fact that Zhou Fu ignored Lu Guixin. Many people placed emphasis on this point and sneered at Lu Guixin.

Tian Rong felt a little guilty, so he waved at Lu Guixin first. From his smile, he seemed to be trying to please her. “Hi, Junior.”

Lu Guixin smiled a little and answered warmly. “Senior.”

Tian Rong bumped Zhou Fu with his elbow. “Brother Fu, go get the scripts from the teacher’s office first.”

Zhou Fu nodded and put away his phone. He walked forward and quickly vanished past the corners along the corridor.

Tian Rong leaned against the wall lazily, separated from Lu Guixin by the window frame. He said apologetically, “Guixin, I’m sorry about the forum. I’ll get Brother Fu to have all those posts deleted.”

Zhou Fu was the president of the Student Union, so he had the right.

It was just that last weekend, this big boss went to another province to participate in a competition, and only returned this morning. As soon as he arrived at school, his teachers made him invigilate the Year One’s exam here.

Tian Rong did not have time to tell the big boss about this.

“It’s okay, I’m not bothered by it.” Lu Guixin was still soft-spoken and so gentle that no one could bear to speak to her loudly.

Her soft, black hair went straight to her collarbone, and she had cold white skin, which made her look a little sick. She had superior facial features, and she wore a pair of glasses. She really looked a lot like a good girl.

No one could resist a kind and cute young beauty.

Tian Rong could only apologize. He put his hands together and said with a face of guilt. “Sorry, Junior. It’s all my fault.”

Tian Lu humphed coldly. “If you know it’s your fault then why won’t you get the posts removed right away!?”

“Yes, yes, yes. I will ask Brother Fu to delete them in a while.” Tian Rong responded quickly.

Just then, a voice was broadcast on the speakers.

“Dear students, the Mathematics examination is about to begin. Please proceed to your examination venues now—”

The speakers repeated the announcement over and over again.

Tian Lu said goodbye to Lu Guixin, then she turned around and ran towards her examination venue.

Zhou Fu held papers that were rolled up and walked over. Then, he passed them to Tian Rong, and the two of them entered the classroom.

Zhou Fu had a face that could attract massive attention no matter where he went at any time. When the Year Ones saw them, their eyes lit up excitedly.

Lu Guixin looked at the boys and girls in the examination venue. It was just like the situation in the photo at the basketball court. They were all fans of Zhou Fu, and they all looked so excited as if they had seen their idol.

As Tian Rong distributed the papers, he said. “Ms. Guo has something on, so we will be the invigilators for today. Please put away all materials unrelated to the examination and bring them forward. All mobile phones and devices are to be switched off.”

There was a lot of noise in the classroom as the students went forward in an orderly manner to place their items.

Lu Guixin was the only one who sat in place and did not move.

Zhou Fu sat in front of the podium like an old man. He rested his arm on the lectern and held the phone horizontally.

One of the students glanced at him when placing her school bag. The big boss started a game, and it was loading.

Zhou Fu behaved like an outsider who had nothing to do with the examination. His lazy mannerisms were so out of place among the tense atmosphere in the exam venue.

Tian Rong was kept busy, and he only sat on the chair when he had finished distributing all of the papers and the broadcast system announced the start of the examinations.

Zhou Fu had just ended one round of his game and was about to begin a second one.

Tian Rong nudged him with his knee and lowered his voice to its softest. “Brother Fu, I have something to tell you.”

Zhou Fu looked up and glanced at him with his dark eyes. The look in his eyes was fierce, and it made people shudder.

Tian Rong’s heart shuddered uncontrollably, and he mustered the courage to say. “While you weren’t in school, the school forum was about to crash.”

“Oh.” Zhou Fu answered casually. “How’s that my problem?”

Tian Rong kept quiet.

Zhou Fu continued to choose his character for the game. He was really cold.

Tian Rong answered seriously. “No, it really is your problem.”

He pressed his phone screen and entered the school forum, then he clicked on the most popular post and handed it to him, “This.””

Zhou Fu glanced at it slowly.

Anonymous user: LMAO, does somebody really think that just because she’s the School Beauty, she is worthy of God Fu? Well, great. Now she’s rejected by God Fu after confessing, huh?

Zhou Fu frowned and took Tian Rong’s phone. He scrolled through the comments.

She’s placed on a pedestal in an ordinary class in Year One, so she’s used to it. Does she think that academia god in Year Three Class One will fall for that?

The average performance of Class Nine is ranked fifth from the bottom in the Year One cohort. Other than looking pretty, there really isn’t anything else that is good about Lu Guixin.

How could someone who is so bad at her studies have the courage to chase the academia god? They don’t even belong to the same world. God Fu would probably despise Lu Guixin for being dumb and having too low of an IQ. Hahaha…

Also, God Fu and Senior Xia Cheng are the official pair that everyone hopes would get together. They are both so good-looking, and their studies are so great as well.

Senior Zhou Fu and Xia Cheng will be going to the Capital University. In the future, they will surely be sent to Jijing Island for exchange. It would be tough for Lu Guixin to even get into a top school with those grades of hers, huh.

But she’s so pretty, she’ll surely have many shortcuts to take…

The mockery was getting increasingly ridiculous.

Although Zhou Fu had no interest in Lu Guixin, it did not mean that others could use him as a gunman to step on Lu Guixin.

Zhou Fu quit the game and used his mobile phone to log in to the forum with his admin account, which he had not done in 800 years.

He deleted all of the posts which were degrading Lu Guixin.

Also, he made a post to clear things up. It was also the first post that he made in the forum ever since he got into Ming City High School.

His real name was on the account.

Zhou Fu: She did not confess, nor did she ask for my WeChat. Don’t f*cking spread rumors about me.

After he posted it, he pinned it to the top of the forum.

Zhou Fu was the only one who would dare to scold others on the official forum openly and in such a loud manner.

At the top right corner, the number of views could be seen to be increasing rapidly, but no one dared to reply.

It was the first time that Tian Rong saw Zhou Fu getting mad. He gulped and opened a bottle of mineral water. “Brother Fu, calm down.”

Zhou Fu’s eyes were deep and heavy. He gave off a stifling aura, and the entire classroom became colder by several degrees.

One of the examinees sensed something, and she looked up cautiously. When she saw that things didn’t seem okay, she quickly looked down.

Zhou Fu drank some water and stared in the direction of Lu Guixin’s seat.

This was the first time that he had taken a proper look at Lu Guixin.

The girl’s body was slightly slanted, and it was hard to see her face clearly.

She looked young, but she was quite tall. Her shoulders were thin, and her temperament was exceptionally gentle. Her existence was the kind that people would notice after a glance.

She propped her head up with one hand, and her hair covered half of her face. Only her golden-rimmed glasses and sharp nose could be seen.

The back of her hand was so pale that they glowed, and her fingers were glowing and slender.

She held the pen in her other hand and answered the questions slowly.

The afternoon sun shone into the classroom, cutting her body in half, with one in the shade and one under the light. She yawned lazily.

She removed her glasses and put them on the side of the table. Then, she continued to answer the questions.

Tian Rong said softly. “Brother Fu, I just apologized to the School Beauty. She doesn’t put on airs at all. She has a good temper and she’s really soft. She got scolded because we wanted her WeChat and yet she wasn’t angry at us.”

Zhou Fu looked away and looked back on his phone. He continued to select his character.

After a few rounds, he glanced at the time. There were still 30 minutes until the end of the examination.

A hint of impatience appeared between Zhou Fu’s eyes, and he got up and kicked the chair away. Then, he put his phone in his pocket and said to Tian Rong, “I’m going out for a cigarette.”

Tian Rong held his phone as if he was taking photos, but no one knew what he was taking.

When he heard this, he responded.

Zhou Fu walked down the steps of the podium with his long legs, and just as he reached the door, he stopped. He looked aside with his dark eyes, and his gaze stopped at the seat near the wall in the fifth row.

The girl was facing the window with her head in her arms. It seemed like she had fallen asleep.

Zhou Fu recalled the incident on the forum and walked over. It was the first time that he cared about others.

The gaze of the other students in the exam venue couldn’t help but follow Zhou Fu. They watched as he stopped in front of Lu Guixin’s table.

Zhou Fu stuck one hand in his pocket and looked down at Lu Guixin, whose hair was covering her face. He looked away, rather annoyed.

He knocked on the table with his slender and defined knuckles.

“Knock knock knock-”

Three knocks.

The girl did not react at all.

Zhou Fu frowned. She was rather deep sleep.

He lost his patience and looked ahead. Then, he kicked the table hard. Bam!

Lu Guixin shuddered from the shock, and she jumped in her seat. Her pen was thrown out.

Her innocent face looked fearful and confused. Her lips turned pale, and she was breathing heavily and softly.

It was as if she was quite shocked.

Tian Rong, who witnessed Zhou Fu’s violence, couldn’t bear to watch. He covered his eyes.

F*ck! Who wakes someone up like that?!

Zhou Fu did not even look at Lu Guixin properly. He just said coldly, “Do your paper.”

With that, he walked out of the back door and got ready to go out to smoke.

Lu Guixin straightened her paper while maintaining a good temper, but she realized that her pen was missing. She looked down at the floor around her feet and still couldn’t find it.

She only brought one pen with her, so she said softly. “Senior, I can’t find my pen.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Fu seemed to have kicked something under his feet. He lowered his head and saw Lu Guixin’s unique pen.

He bent over to pick it up and stared at the dice for two seconds, then he turned back and stood sideways beside her.

He raised his hand and held the pen up with his slender, defined fingers. He swayed it around slightly, and his voice was cold and flat, “Here.”

Lu Guixin was bent over, looking for her pen on the ground. When she heard that, she looked up abruptly, and her warm lips accidentally brushed the back of Zhou Fu’s slightly cold hand.

It was as if ice had met fire.

At that moment, Zhou Fu felt as if he had just experienced an electric shock, and his body went numb. He stood stiffly, rooted to the ground.

But Lu Guixin behaved as if nothing had happened. When she saw that the pen in his hand was indeed hers, she said quickly. “Thank you, Senior.”

Zhou Fu’s left hand in his pocket curled up slightly. He regained his senses and looked down. His eyes met Lu Guixin’s eyes unexpectedly.

The girl’s eyes were extremely pretty. She had single eyelids, and her eyes were really deep. The corner of her eyes was slightly raised, and her long eyelashes were thick and slightly curled.

The contours of her facial features were extremely exquisite. Her skin was white and cold, and her beauty was definitely rare.

At this moment, the girl’s eyes were moist and slightly red, and she seemed to be frightened. Her eyes were very aggrieved and weak.

The corners of her lips were slightly pursed, but they were a little plump.

As they were so close, Zhou Fu could even see the thin layer of hair on her face.

The two of them stared at each other. One sitting and one standing. Neither of them moved.

One was cold, and the other was warm and nice.

It was only two to three seconds, but it felt exceptionally long.

The faint scent of tobacco, wrapped in the fragrance of acacia, was mixed into Lu Guixin’s breath.

Tian Rong strode over and looked at Lu Huixin. Seeing that she doesn’t seem to be okay, he asked with concern, “Are you alright?”

Lu Guixin looked away naturally and shook her head. Then, she answered softly. “I’m fine.”

Zhou Fu looked down. His emotions were concealed, and he put the pen on the table.

Then, he left the classroom without saying a word.

Tian Rong looked at Zhou Fu’s back and consoled Lu Guixin. “Do you paper carefully.”

She nodded. “Yeah.”

There was a surveillance camera in the classroom, so Tian Rong went out with him.

He saw Zhou Fu leaning against the railing. Zhou Fu casually lit a cigarette and took a puff. Half of it went into his throat and the other half into the wind.

“Brother Fu, look how you scared the School Beauty.” Tian Rong complained unhappily.

Zhou Fu did not answer. He felt like something wasn’t right.

Although he did not look at Lu Guixin properly the previous time they met, from her tone, he did not think that her personality was as good as how Tian Rong made it seem.

She was very indifferent and patient, and she gave the illusion of being gentle and well-tempered.

She could get along well with anyone, but no one could get close to her.

A person like this was cold to the bones.

It was nothing like how she was today, soft like a bunny.

Did she really get scared?

Zhou Fu put his arms on the railing, with the cigarette bit in his mouth. He squinted slightly from the smoke.

In the exam venue.

Lu Guixin rubbed her lips with the knuckles of her lightly textured index finger. It was indeed an accident that she touched his hand just now.

But his reaction was rather big from the touch.

She raised her brows and changed the answer to a few of her multiple-choice questions in a good mood. Then, she answered another two open-ended questions.

Tian Rong glanced at the window. Lu Guixin was wearing her glasses and focused on answering the questions.

The sun shone slantingly into the classroom, and the girl was enveloped by the light. She was ethereal.

Tian Rong couldn’t resist taking out his phone to take a picture. Then, he showed off to Zhou Fu. “I didn’t lie to you, huh? Brother Fu. This School Beauty is really out of this world.

“Even if you compared the School Beauty to all of the best-looking celebrities in the entertainment industry, they would be eliminated easily.”

Zhou Fu was different from how he was in the past, in which he wouldn’t be bothered to look at all.

He looked over at the phone screen.

Indeed, she’s beautiful.?

Tian Rong said, “Don’t all the people in class want to see how the School Beauty looks? Show them this photo when we get back and we shall see what they have to say! The School Beauty deserves her name!”

Zhou Fu looked up at him and grabbed the phone away from his hand right away.

“Uh.” Tian Rong looked up. “Brother Fu, what are you doing?”

Zhou Fu had a cigarette between his fingers. He raised his chin. “Go back to invigilating and lend me your phone for a while.”

Tian Rong nodded. “Alright.”

He turned around and entered the exam venue.

…

The examination ended at 4.30pm.

Zhou Fu glanced at Lu Guixin, who was drinking from the thermos cup after opening the lid, from the corner of his eyes. His gaze stayed there for a few seconds.

Tian Rong counted the number of scripts and told the students. “You may now leave.”

Then, he turned to Zhou Fu. “Brother Fu, let’s go.”

Zhou Fu looked away. Before he stepped out of the classroom, he looked at Lu Guixin again. She had her earpods on, and it seemed like she was speaking to someone.

The two of them went to the Year One staffroom to submit the papers, and they went downstairs right away.

There were many people on the stairs. When they saw Zhou Fu, they moved to the side subconsciously.

Tian Rong took out his phone and was about to look at Lu Guixin’s photo, but he realized that the photos that he had taken were all gone.

He scrolled through his photo album and was beginning to question his life. “Where are the photos that I had just taken of the School Beauty?”

“Oh,” Zhou Fu looked at the phone and answered calmly without even lifting his head. “I accidentally deleted them.”

Tian Rong stared at him in confusion.
