Chapter Summary: I quite like mango pomelo sago.

"Fu Xianyin".

"arrive."

Upon hearing her name called, Fu Xianyin stood up reflexively. She looked at Sister Gao on the podium, who gave her a slightly warning look.

"Share your solution to this problem."

Sister Gao pointed to the geometry problem on the projector and repeated it to Fu Xianyin.

Fu Xianyin pursed her lips, took the test paper and went up to the podium. She took the whiteboard marker from Sister Gao and drew an auxiliary line on the whiteboard.

"good."

Sister Gao nodded, didn't remind her any further, and instead told her to go back to her seat and sit down.

For two consecutive math classes, Fu Xianyin forced herself to stay focused.

However, Hu Weiming's words seemed to be playing in her mind on an automatic replay, repeating over and over again, refusing to leave her mind.

Gao Ying's mouth opened and closed on the podium, while Fu Xianyin felt her mind go blank. She couldn't hear or see clearly; her thoughts were as if wrapped in a net, and her five senses were isolated by a barrier.

What do you mean by her bad influence in Linlan?

What exactly did Hu Weiming mean by that?

How did he know about her situation in Linlan, and why did he say those words specifically to remind her?

After two consecutive math classes, Fu Xianyin still didn't understand.

Yin Zexuan was still working on his homework when Cheng Zhaozhao skipped over and asked Fu Xianyin, "Yinyin, what are you having for lunch? Lin Anxu just said we should go out for stir-fry outside the school for lunch, are you going?"

Lin Anxu called out from the side of the podium: "Sister Yin, if you're not going, Brother Zhao and I will bring you some food. See what dishes you want to eat, or we can buy something else on our way."

Gu Linzhao, wearing a white baseball cap, leaned against the wall by the door, lazily watching her.

Fu Xianyin glanced at the notebook on the table that hadn't been touched much after two classes, took a deep breath, and said, "I'll go with you."

"A rare guest indeed, a truly rare guest."

Fu Xianyin had already sat down when Lin Anxu was still clicking his tongue in amazement: "Sis, this is the first time you've come out to eat with us."

Fu Xianyin often skips meals, and among the limited opportunities she has to eat, the number of times she leaves the school gate to eat is very few.

The reason is simple: the nearest restaurant near the school gate is farther than the cafeteria, and Fu Xianyin finds it too time-consuming to go back and forth.

Fu Xianyin smiled and said, "I don't want to study today. Let's take a break."

While they were talking, Gu Linzhao had already opened the tableware in front of her and rinsed it with hot water.

The cup contained water, and Fu Xianyin instinctively reached for a drink, but before her hand could touch the cup, Gu Linzhao stopped her.

"Hot water," he said. "It's scalding."

Fu Xianyin withdrew her hand.

She said, "I'm going out to buy a cup of milk tea."

Cheng Zhaozhao and Chen Nianke were looking at the menu together when she heard this and said, "Yinyin, why don't you take a look at what you want to eat first?"

Fu Xianyin glanced at the menu and said, "Nianke, please order. I like everything she orders."

Cheng Zhaozhao: "Oh, then Yinyin, could you get me a peach oolong tea, with 30% sugar?"

Fu Xianyin gave an OK sign and stood up.

She was sitting towards the inside, and to get out she had to pass by Gu Linzhao's seat.

The moment she stood up, Gu Linzhao also stood up.

He walked to the side of the aisle to make room for her, and even pulled out a chair to make it easier for Fu Xianyin to come out.

Fu Xianyin stood in the aisle, but noticed that Gu Linzhao hadn't gone back to sit down yet.

She pointed to the seat and asked, "You..."

Gu Linzhao reacted a beat late, saying, "Ah, I'll go with you."

Lin Anxu was struggling with the menu when he heard this and said without turning his head, "Brother Zhao, buy me a lemon passion fruit drink!"

Fu Xianyin then looked at Chen Nianke and asked, "Nianke, what would you like to drink?"

Chen Nianke shook her head: "I'm not drinking it. I brought a bottle of iced tea."

The midday sun is the most intense.

Fu Xianyin was so hot from the sun that she could barely open her eyes, and she regretted not bringing a hat with her when she went out today.

Just then, a baseball cap was placed on her head.

Gu Linzhao's voice came from the side: "Where do you want to go?"

Fu Xianyin: "I just want to get some fresh air, just take a stroll... wait a minute."

The baseball cap blocked the scorching sun, casting a shadow.

Fu Xianyin looked up at Gu Linzhao with an incredulous expression, and was caught off guard by the sunlight, making her wince.

Gu Linzhao's lips curled up slightly, unable to suppress his laughter.

He raised his hand and, with great deliberation, tapped the brim of his hat with his fingertip, using the force of the hat to turn Fu Xianyin's face, which was being glared at by the sun and unable to open its eyes, back to the center of the sun.

With her gaze once again shrouded in shadow, Fu Xianyin's eyes held a glimmer of hope.

“No,” she said, a little flustered, “didn’t I just say I came to buy milk tea?”

Gu Linzhao: "Ah, I thought buying milk tea was just an excuse, something you came up with because you were in a bad mood."

Fu Xianyin was speechless.

It's not that Gu Banxian secretly improved his professional skills behind her back.

Is she so obviously emotional?

Even Cheng Zhaozhao didn't notice.

Chen Nianke didn't notice either.

Let's leave aside that dim-witted Lin Anxu for now.

How exactly did Gu Linzhao figure it out?

She was lost in thought with her head down, and her baseball cap was obscuring her vision. She didn't stop walking and almost bumped into a student carrying skewers.

Gu Linzhao tugged at her school uniform sleeve, and Fu Xianyin felt herself drift to the other side of the road, her head almost hitting Gu Linzhao.

"Watch where you're going! You're at the school gate, are you trying to run amok and take revenge on society?"

Gu Linzhao said helplessly.

His hand was gripping the sleeve of her school uniform. Gu Linzhao clearly felt that he hadn't used much force when he grabbed her, but the girl next to him instantly moved to his side.

If Gu Linzhao hadn't pulled him back at the last minute, the person might have fallen right on him.

Fu Xianyin is considered tall for a girl; Gu Linzhao estimated that she must be about 1.7 meters tall.

only.

A person who is 1.7 meters tall is so light?

It's so light.

Gu Linzhao even felt that if he had used a little more force, he could have lifted the person up from the ground.

His gaze fell on Fu Xianyin's somewhat empty school uniform.

The school favors wearing school uniforms that are on the looser side. Girls rarely order uniforms that fit perfectly; they usually order a size larger. Gu Linzhao had always assumed that Fu Xianyin was the same way, but now he realized it wasn't a size issue; it was because she was thin.

That's not surprising.

With her eating habits, it would be strange if she could gain weight.

but.

Gu Linzhao lowered his eyes and glanced at Fu Xianyin.

The baseball cap covered his eyebrows and eyes, revealing only his pointed chin.

He vaguely remembered that when Fu Xianyin was his deskmate, her cheeks were still a little chubby.

How come there's no meat left at all?

Was it because he wasn't her deskmate, and no one brought her food during evening self-study?

Gu Linzhao reflected on the past week or so since the change of positions.

It seems I haven't seen her eat much.

Fu Xianyin was unaware that Gu Linzhao was silently pondering her dietary issues.

All her thoughts were on how Gu Linzhao knew she was in a bad mood.

There's a saying, isn't there?

Enough is enough; there's no need to endure it any longer.

If you can't hold it in, just ask.

So Fu Xianyin said, "How did you know I was in a bad mood?"

Gu Linzhao thought for a moment and said, "It's intuition."

Fu Xianyin nodded.

This answer, which seemed unreasonable to others but made perfect sense to Gu Banxian, convinced her.

Who can blame them when they're considered a demigod?

The fortune teller's intuition is usually accurate.

However, the next second, Gu Banxian suddenly unleashed a skill called "Logical Analysis":

"During math class, Ms. Gao called you up to draw auxiliary lines because you were daydreaming. You rarely daydream in class, but it seemed like you didn't pay attention at all for the past two math classes. After the second period, the chemistry teacher asked you to go to his office; did he check your grades?"

Fu Xianyin: ...

Damn, that analysis is amazing.

Although it deviates slightly from the correct answer, the process is almost entirely correct, so it gets full marks.

Fu Xianyin nodded with a complex expression.

They arrived at the bubble tea shop and the two pushed open the door and went inside. Fu Xianyin quickly found a seat, but Gu Linzhao was a step too late. The other seat next to Fu Xianyin was taken by a girl, so he stood in front of Fu Xianyin.

Gu Linzhao hesitated for a moment, then softened his tone and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Fu Xianyin didn't hesitate and told him directly, "I did a set of chemistry papers from the affiliated high school's monthly exam and wanted the chemistry teacher to help me correct them. But I... did terribly, really terribly."

She omitted some key points.

Fu Xianyin took off her hat and looked up at Gu Linzhao:

"What I also want to ask is, could you explain that test paper to me? The chemistry test paper at the affiliated high school is much harder than ours. There are many questions I don't know how to answer. I got 61 after grading today, which is just passing."

Gu Linzhao: "Did you look at it again after you finished revising it?"

Fu Xianyin nodded: "I've looked at it, but I still can't do what I don't know. It's not a matter of whether there are hints or not. Even if there were hints, I still wouldn't be able to finish within the time limit. I just..."

Her voice suddenly choked up for some reason.

Fu Xianyin quickly adjusted her breathing and finished her sentence: "No."

Gu Linzhao: "Then go back and give me the test paper later. I'll write out the steps for each question for you during self-study this afternoon. Take a look at it yourself, and ask me if you don't understand."

Fu Xianyin looked up and asked, "Do you want a blank test paper? It's the one from the affiliated high school that's pretty good. Do you want to time yourself and then explain it to me? The monthly exam is next week, so don't waste this test paper."

Gu Linzhao thought for a moment and asked, "Was the math exam at the affiliated high school difficult this time?"

Fu Xianyin nodded: "It's quite difficult."

Gu Linzhao carefully chose his words: "Then, if I pick out the difficult and important questions for you to do, it will save you the time of doing a whole set of papers, but it will also mean you will miss out on one complete experience of a difficult paper."

He carefully organized his words:

"Would you feel that you absolutely, really want to go, how should I put it, spend the entire time of a practice test to... make up for this regret?"

Fu Xianyin: ...

She said expressionlessly, "Next time, please just say it directly; I understand."

He might as well just tell her that he's good at chemistry and missing a test paper won't make a difference.

This carefully crafted speech, with its analogies and hypotheses, felt to Fu Xianyin that the satire and attack were even more powerful than direct criticism.

The milk tea was made very quickly.

While the two were chatting, the receptionist was already calling their number.

Gu Linzhao held two cups of milk tea in each hand and said with a smile, "It's not that I don't have a 139 in Chinese, I'm afraid that if I don't organize my words properly, what I say will be ambiguous."

Fu Xianyin: ...

Why is she being so frank about Yin and Yang now?

She couldn't help but retort, "That's true, 139 is 139 after all, it's quite different."

“Yes,” Gu Linzhao agreed, “Being first in the grade makes a big difference.”

The sun shines brightly as soon as you open the door.

But this time was different; Fu Xianyin was wearing a hat.

No matter how bright the sun is, she can keep her eyes open.

Gu Linzhao squinted in the sunlight and asked, "Want to go for a walk again?"

"No need," Fu Xianyin suddenly smiled.

She said, "It's so sunny, let's go back."

When the two returned, all the dishes had just been served.

The dishes on the table hadn't been touched at all. Chen Nianke was so hungry she was about to faint. After the two of them finally sat down, Chen Nianke picked up her chopsticks and took a piece of boiled pork slices.

Fu Xianyin distributed the milk tea to everyone, took a sip of mango pomelo sago herself, and then, as if remembering something, nudged Gu Linzhao.

She asked, "What do you like to drink?"

Gu Linzhao didn't react immediately: "What do you mean, 'drink'?"

The table wasn't very big to begin with, and the two of them huddled together made them quite conspicuous.

Lin Anxu said, "What are you two whispering about?"

Fu Xianyin: "Ah, I asked him what kind of milk tea he liked to drink."

Lin Anxu: "Brother Zhao doesn't like milk tea."

The same answer as Cheng Zhaozhao before.

Undeterred, Fu Xianyin asked again, "You don't like it at all?"

Gu Linzhao paused for a moment, then said, "No, not exactly."

He recalled the scene from the weekend when Fu Xianyin handed him a bunch of things, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

"I really like mango pomelo sago."

He said.

"The kind with crunchy boba."

I don't know if it was because I was full or because my tense mood had been relieved.

Fu Xianyin's afternoon composition class was a veritable fountain of inspiration.

As soon as the essay topic was handed out, she quickly had an idea. After listing the current events and allusions that needed to be cited on the draft paper, Fu Xianyin picked up her pen and began to write.

After writing the last word, there was still nearly half an hour before get out of class ended.

Xu Xunling has always been very lenient in her composition classes.

As long as the essay is finished, Xu Xunling will not blame her even if she does other homework.

Fu Xianyin began organizing her biology notes.

I don't know if I suddenly had a breakthrough, or if the questions I've been doing lately have been relatively easy, or if it's just in comparison to the hellish difficulty of chemistry.

Fu Xianyin felt that biology lessons recently were not as painful as they had been when she was in Linlan.

Whether it's doing practice problems or memorizing knowledge points, Fu Xianyin feels that her speed has increased significantly.

If this continues, maybe I can get over 90 in biology in the next monthly exam?

Fu Xianyin thought to herself with a smug satisfaction.

During Chinese class and the long break, Fu Xianyin finished her biology notes and homework.

During the last self-study period, Fu Xianyin finished her math and most of her physics homework.

The bell rang, and Cheng Zhaozhao and Chen Nianke came over to ask Fu Xianyin, "Yinyin, are you going to eat?"

Fu Xianyin smiled and shook her head: "I'm not going. I'll finish my physics homework."

“Oh, okay.” The two nodded, talking as they walked.

"Yinyin isn't eating again."

"She never eats dinner."

"They even told me before that not eating after noon is good for your health."

"How could her eating habits be good for her health?"

The two walked out of the classroom through the front door.

Gu Linzhao, clutching his chemistry exam paper and the steps he had completed during a study session, walked around to the aisle next to Fu Xianyin.

"I have written out the steps for all the questions you got wrong and the questions you circled when you were doing the problems."

Gu Linzhao handed the manuscript paper and exam paper to Fu Xianyin: "If you still don't understand, ask me."

The manuscript paper was covered with neat handwriting.

Gu Linzhao even used different colored pens to highlight the key or difficult steps.

Fu Xianyin: "You've written it so carefully, it would be unreasonable if I still couldn't understand it."

Gu Linzhao chuckled and said, "I'm leaving."

Fu Xianyin didn't even look up, just waved and said, "Bye-bye."

Yin Zexuan, who was packing his things, turned around and glanced at her.

Fu Xianyin kept her head down, focused on doing her homework, and showed no intention of getting up to leave.

The physics homework wasn't too difficult.

After finishing her homework before evening self-study, Fu Xianyin took a two-lap walk in the corridor to stretch her stiff muscles.

Back in the classroom, Cheng Zhaozhao and Chen Nianke sat down on either side of her seat.

"Yinyin, come quick, come quick."

Chen Nianke excitedly pointed to the still steaming plastic bag on the table: "We ate quickly today, so I brought you a pork tenderloin wrap. You should eat something tonight, otherwise your stomach will hurt."

After Chen Nianke finished speaking, she winked secretly at Yinmi: "It has dried orchids added, I know you like to eat them."

The steam covered the plastic bag with a layer of milky white vapor. The aromas of soybeans, soy sauce, and pork tenderloin mingled together and filled Fu Xianyin's nostrils.

Just as Fu Xianyin was about to thank him, a shadow stood beside her.

Gu Linzhao was carrying a bowl of dry noodles, a rice ball, two skewers, and a serving of mango pomelo sago. He was about to put them on her table when he saw the bulging pork tenderloin roll and paused.

Cheng Zhaozhao exclaimed, "Oh, you bought food for Yinyin too?"

Gu Linzhao nodded.

As he was leaving, he overheard them saying that Fu Xianyin wasn't eating dinner again. Thinking about how he had helped her at noon that day, Gu Linzhao felt he needed to bring her some food to nourish her.

He looked at the pork tenderloin pancakes on the table and didn't see anything wrong with them. He said in a natural tone, "There are just a lot of varieties. You can choose some, and give the rest to Lin Anxu."

Cheng Zhaozhao pouted: "Lin Anxu really got off easy."

Lin Anxu: "Who, who called me?"

He ran over to Fu Xianyin's seat and said, "Wow, I'm getting lucky! Sis, what do you want to eat? I'll use the rest for an extra meal tonight!"

Fu Xianyin said, "You've already eaten, can you still eat?"

Lin Anxu chuckled: "Sis, you underestimate me."

Fu Xianyin looked at the food in front of her and said, "Then I won't be polite?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an arm reached out from Lin Anxu's side.

A serving of grilled meat bibimbap is placed on the table.

Yin Zexuan's voice rang out behind Lin Anxu: "Fu Xianyin, didn't you eat dinner tonight? I'll bring you some..."

His words abruptly stopped when he saw the pile of food on Fu Xianyin's table.

Fu Xianyin also froze.

Three meals were placed in front of her.

How could something with such a small probability happen in this world?

Fu Xianyin even felt that the probability of her getting a 90 on her next monthly biology exam was smaller than that of her getting a 90.

She looked up at Lin Anxu somewhat shyly:

"Um, are you really sure you can eat this?"
