Chapter 26 Kindness [VIP]

Chapter Summary: The people of Beichuan are truly kind.

Fu Xianyin exclaimed "Ah!"

Suddenly, she said haltingly, "I was just... watching you do your homework."

Gu Linzhao chuckled.

Fu Xianyin pursed her lips.

The next second, she heard someone next to her say, "Bring Lin Anxu's chair over, and I'll explain it to you."

No need to climb stairs anymore.

Fu Xianyin stuck out her tongue, opened her chemistry workbook to that page, and pointed it out to Gu Linzhao.

When Yin Zexuan brought over the exercise book, he happened to see Fu Xianyin sitting at Gu Linzhao's table.

Hearing the voice, Fu Xianyin looked up, pointed at Gu Linzhao, and explained, "He told us that we don't need to climb the stairs to the teacher's office anymore."

Yin Zexuan nodded blankly: "Oh, okay."

There weren't any extra chairs, so Yin Zexuan half-squatted to listen. He didn't mind at all, and happily squatted by the table.

Fu Xianyin, afraid that Yin Zexuan wouldn't see her, moved her stool closer to Gu Linzhao.

Gu Linzhao circled a few key points in red pen, gave a vague outline, and said, "That's it, see if you can write it down."

After listening, Yin Zexuan started writing. Gu Linzhao's tips were very helpful to him, clearing up the blockages in his thinking.

In comparison, Fu Xianyin's foundation was not very strong, so he wrote more slowly.

Yin Zexuan finished writing first, and then wanted to confirm the answer with Gu Linzhao: "The answer is..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Linzhao gestured with his chin toward Fu Xianyin and said, "Wait a minute."

Yin Zexuan belatedly realized what was happening and glanced at Fu Xianyin apologetically.

Fu Xianyin didn't notice what the two were saying.

She is now focused on battling chemistry.

The struggle was not going well.

This question was too difficult for her. Even though Gu Linzhao gave her hints, she still struggled to write it.

After a while, she nudged Gu Linzhao, clasped her hands together, and shook them: "Please, give me some more hints."

Gu Linzhao was amused by her and gave her another hint.

This time, Fu Xianyin did it very quickly.

After finishing the last step, she pushed the workbook over.

Gu Linzhao glanced at it and said, "Oh, right."

He looked at Yin Zexuan's workbook and said, "Yours is correct too."

"Yay!"

Fu Xianyin stretched and was about to leave when she heard the person behind her say, "If you don't want to climb the stairs, you can ask me."

“I was just about to ask you that, really,” Fu Xianyin said earnestly, “but I was just watching you do your homework.”

Gu Linzhao glanced at her: "I didn't see you make a special trip upstairs when I was doing my homework before."

That's my former deskmate.

Fu Xianyin inwardly complained. It would be so much more convenient to wait with someone sitting together. Now that they're so far apart, she might as well go up and run over instead of standing there waiting for him to finish his work.

Of course, she didn't say it aloud.

If someone kindly offers her an olive branch, she should definitely accept it.

Song Yaoge remained seated without moving.

After Fu Xianyin left, she awkwardly took out her chemistry workbook, pointed to the same question, and asked Gu Linzhao:

"Class monitor, I don't know how to do this problem either. Can you explain it to me?"

Following that explanation process, with hints and patient guidance step by step, Gu Linzhao could explain things to her for a long time.

Song Yaoge felt very happy.

However.

Gu Linzhao glanced at the question, pulled out a piece of draft paper, and quickly wrote down the process. He then handed it to Song Yaoge and said:

"Look, is there anything you don't understand?"

Song Yaoge was dumbfounded.

She took the draft paper and whispered, "Okay, I... I'll take a look..."

Gu Linzhao: "Hmm."

The chemical formulas are densely packed, like a spell.

After handing her the draft paper, Gu Linzhao's gaze never lingered on her again.

In despair, Song Yaoge tucked the draft paper into her chemistry workbook.

How should I put it? She couldn't understand a single thing Gu Linzhao wrote.

Life goes on.

The urgency of studying has returned to what it was when I first transferred here.

Fu Xianyin's level of effort left Cheng Zhaozhao speechless: "Yinyin, do you have to work this hard? Have you even taken a break?"

Fu Xianyin thought for a moment.

Apart from the National Day holiday, it seems she hasn't had a break at all; she's been working non-stop.

Cheng Zhaozhao pinched Fu Xianyin's cheek and poked the dark circles under her eyes: "Yinyin, you've lost all the flesh on your face."

She leaned on Yin Zexuan's seat and muttered, "If I were your mother, I would be heartbroken."

Fu Xianyin froze as she wrote the problem, then twitched the corner of her mouth.

She suddenly had a somewhat rebellious thought: if Cheng Zhaozhao really were her mother, her life would definitely be much better than before.

This weekend is a long weekend off; the last time we had a holiday was during the National Day holiday. Lin Anxu, that social butterfly, didn't get enough playing time with Fu Yeyang last time, so he actually invited him to play together during this long weekend.

She asked, "Where do you play then, the court next to People's Park?"

Lin Anxu: "It's not decided yet, but I might go to the affiliated high school to get it done. They only have one afternoon off this week, so it would be more convenient to get it done there."

After Lin Anxu finished speaking, Fu Xianyin gave him a thumbs up and said sincerely:

"You're awesome."

Lin Anxu asked, "Sis, are you going?"

Fu Xianyin: "Go."

After Chen Huimei learned that she had gotten first place in the grade, she didn't rest for more than a few days and then asked her to do the affiliated high school's test papers.

She was so annoyed by Chen Huimei that she had no choice but to agree.

She never told Chen Huimei about what happened at the parent-teacher meeting that day.

For some reason, Chen Huimei didn't ask.

Fu Dongyuan did not offer any explanation to Fu Xianyin.

Or perhaps, the message that came from the secretary on short notice was already the explanation Fu Dongyuan believed.

In short, no one mentioned the parent-teacher meeting again.

Fu Xianyin also turned the page.

She stretched and suddenly heard a voice from outside the door: "Fu Xianyin, your homeroom teacher is looking for you."

Fu Xianyin turned her head sharply and saw a familiar figure at the door.

Wu Jiacheng.

She frowned, and Wu Jiacheng said with a smile, "Hurry up, let's go."

The familiarity he subtly revealed in his words was noticed even by the oblivious Lin Anxu.

He asked curiously, "Sis, is he your friend?"

Fu Xianyin suppressed her nausea and said, "No, we just know each other."

She went out the front door, and Wu Jiacheng followed beside her, saying, "How about it? Didn't expect to run into me here, did you?"

"You know what? It's not hard to find out about you, and it's not hard to find out which school you transferred to."

"Beichuan No. 1 Middle School, you can transfer, so can I. Want to guess how I transferred here?"

Fu Xianyin's patience ran out: "Then do you want to guess when you'll get beaten up next?"

"Beat me up?" Wu Jiacheng thought he had heard something outrageous.

“Fu Xianyin,” he said in surprise, “Beichuan No. 1 Middle School has such strict rules and regulations, how dare you cross the line? Believe me or not, if you beat me up, you’ll be fired too.”

Fu Xianyin stopped walking.

She stood on the stairs, looking down at Wu Jiacheng.

Amidst the bustling crowd around her, Fu Xianyin stood still, looking at Wu Jiacheng, and suddenly burst out laughing.

It wasn't a cold laugh, nor a mocking laugh; it was a genuine laugh from the heart.

She said:

"Fine, then. We can just roll away together or die together."

"Report."

"Come in."

Gao Ying sat at her desk, pointed to a chair in the corner, and said, "Bring one over and sit down."

Fu Xianyin moved a chair and sat down.

Gao Ying asked, "Have you heard any other classmates talk about the sports meet?"

Fu Xianyin roughly guessed what Gao Ying wanted to say to her and asked, "Is the teacher talking about the placard?"

Gao Ying: "Yes, the teacher wanted you to be the one to hold the placard at the opening ceremony this year. What was your attitude?"

According to Cheng Zhaozhao, those who hold up signs don't need to participate in the sports meet.

Fu Xianyin agreed readily: "Teacher, I'm willing."

Gao Ying: "Okay, go take a look at the dresses when you have time. If possible, it would be best to rent them for a few more days, in case the weather is not suitable and the opening ceremony is postponed."

Fu Xianyin knew she was referring to the situation last year, and nodded in agreement.

Gao Ying then said, "I heard from Teacher Chen that she did your makeup for the arts performance. Did you find it too troublesome to find a makeup artist?"

When her lazy thoughts were pointed out, Fu Xianyin nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

Gao Ying said, "Okay, I'll talk to Teacher Chen and see if she'll have time to do your makeup for the sports meet. If she doesn't have time, I'll ask Teacher Xu and Teacher Yu so you can rent the clothes."

After discussing the placard incident, Gao Ying asked, "How have you been since you transferred to Beichuan? Are you adjusting well?"

After saying that, she seemed to suddenly think of Fu Xianyin's 692, and smiled: "You did so well on the monthly exam, so you should be adapting quite well."

Fu Xianyin was still trying to figure out whether Gao Ying was asking her because Chen Huimei had called her again, or because of Fu Dongyuan.

Just as she was analyzing, Gao Ying said, "I heard that you spend most of your weekends in the dorm?"

Fu Xianyin: "Yes, all my study materials are in the dormitory. The dormitory has all the necessary facilities. The school has everything, so it's quite nice to stay here."

Gao Ying looked at Fu Xianyin and sighed.

This child is sensible, obedient, and well-behaved; he's one in a million, the kind who knows his own limits without needing a teacher to supervise him.

She said, "You should also pay attention to balancing work and rest, and don't study too hard."

Fu Xianyin looked up, somewhat bewildered.

The idea of ​​balancing work and rest is something neither Chen Huimei would say, nor something Fu Dongyuan would care about.

Gao Ying: "I know a bit about your situation. I am your homeroom teacher. Being your homeroom teacher means that I will be responsible for your studies and life except for mathematics."

"If anything happens in the future, you can call the teacher for help at any time."

As if afraid she hadn't understood, Gao Ying added after she finished speaking, "It applies both on and off campus, understand?"

Fu Xianyin nodded blankly: "I...I understand."

Gao Ying picked up a disposable cup and poured her a glass of warm water. Fu Xianyin wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Gao Ying's aura had softened considerably.

Gao Ying asked, "You've been in Beichuan for a month now. What do you think of Beichuan?"

Fu Xianyin: "I think Beichuan is very good, the people of Beichuan..."

She thought for a moment and said truthfully, "The people of Beichuan are all very kind."

Cheng Zhaozhao would worry if she didn't eat and would buy her food. Chen Nianke would help her quickly familiarize herself with all the restaurants near No. 1 Middle School. Gao Ying had been bothered by Chen Huimei, this lunatic, so many times, but she not only didn't hold a grudge against her, but also took special care of her because of her family's discord.

Aunt Yujing was the same; even though she had wronged her, she still cared about her a lot.

There's also Gu Linzhao.

The people of Beichuan are truly kind.

Fu Xianyin knew that there were good people everywhere and bad people everywhere, and that the goodness or evil of human nature had nothing to do with region.

But she just couldn't help associating kindness with the people of Beichuan.
