Chapter Nine: Finding Tan Zhixu
"No way, Xu Yihuan really came."
Chen Zhiyuan was surprised that Cao Cao appeared out of nowhere and immediately burst out laughing.
"Is there even a question? Have you ever seen Xu Yihuan not come to find Brother Zhou during a break between classes?"
"Yeah, I wonder what they brought this time?"
"Brother Zhou is having such a great time. I wish I could have girls giving me things every day too."
A series of voices feigning envy reached Zhou Yanzhe's ears.
Although Zhou Yanzhe's face remained tense, he was gradually becoming elated by the constant flattery.
But even with so many people watching, Zhou Yanzhe still pretended to give a light rebuke.
"Don't talk nonsense."
It had no deterrent effect whatsoever; in fact, it only emboldened the crowd to jeer even more.
"Hey, Brother Zhou, you should go out now. It's not good for that young lady to keep waiting outside."
"That's right, Brother Zhou. Xu Yihuan comes every day, so it's time to give her some face."
These words sound like they're speaking up for Xu Yihuan, but they also give Zhou Yanzhe a good excuse to back down.
As expected.
Zhou Yanzhe stopped writing the problem.
It seemed that it was only because of everyone's persuasion that they reluctantly gave Xu Yihuan some face.
He stood up slowly and deliberately.
He lifted his leg and walked towards the door.
Qiu Tianyi watched Zhou Yanzhe's smug figure.
He was so angry that he scratched his head and cheeks.
"That damned Zhou Yanzhe actually managed to install it!"
"I'm so angry! Can't Xu Yihuan be a little more assertive?!"
Qiu Tianyi was furious.
Xu Yihuan had no idea what he was thinking.
I stood quietly at the door, watching helplessly as the entire class suddenly erupted in commotion.
Then Zhou Yanzhe came out.
Xu Yihuan's gaze swept across the entire Science Class A.
He didn't even glance at Zhou Yanze, who was walking towards him.
Zhou Yanzhe noticed Xu Yihuan's actions.
I thought Xu Yihuan had finally realized how shy she was.
A sneer involuntarily crossed my mind.
We've been here so many times already, why would we care about this one?
What are you pretending to be?
Zhou Yanzhe walked across the podium and out the door.
Standing at the door.
His eyes and brows were expressionless, there was little smile, and he even seemed a little irritable, though it was hard to tell if he was faking it.
Although Xu Yihuan likes him, she can't help but come to find him.
But coming like this every day is indeed starting to disrupt his life.
Zhou Yanzhe looked down at Xu Yihuan: "What brings you here?"
Upon hearing the sound, Xu Yihuan seemed to realize that Zhou Yanzhe had come out because of her.
He asked in confusion, "Huh? Why are you out here?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanzhe paused, his pupils contracted, and the words he was about to say stuck in his throat.
Not only him, but Xu Yihuan's words silenced the entire class.
After Xu Yihuan finished speaking, she didn't care about Zhou Yanzhe's reaction.
He peeked his head into the classroom again.
Is Tan Zhixu here?
Xu Yihuan's voice was very soft.
But it is especially noticeable in a quiet atmosphere.
Xu Yihuan's words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, catching everyone off guard.
"Damn, why isn't that simp sister looking for Zhou Yanze today?"
"No way, no way? Wasn't Xu Yihuan here to see Zhou Yanzhe?"
"They've already asked if Tan Zhixu is there, and you keep asking, keep asking until you die."
"No way, she's been pursuing Zhou Yanzhe for so long, and now she's changed her target?"
"So what? Tan Zhixu isn't bad either, okay?"
"Actually, compared to a highbrow beauty like Zhou Yanzhe, I do prefer a fiery girl like Tan Zhixu. Hehe, Xu Yihuan has great taste."
A series of discussions reached Zhou Yanzhe's ears.
Zhou Yanzhe's expression grew increasingly grim, a hint of shame and anger flashing across his fair face.
Wasn't she here to see me?
Why call him out?
Zhou Yanzhe seemed to have completely forgotten that it was Xu Yihuan who stood there, and he eagerly came out on his own.
Then he saw that Xu Yihuan was still ignoring him peeking inside.
A sudden sense of panic flashed through Zhou Yanzhe's mind.
What did she want to talk to Tan Zhixu about?
Everyone in the entire grade knows that Zhou Yanzhe and Tan Zhixu are mortal enemies.
Even so, would she still go to find Tan Zhixu?
Doesn't she know that saying this will make her unhappy?
Zhou Yanzhe couldn't resist and reached out to grab her wrist.
"What do you want with him?"
His usually aloof face was now tinged with a hint of anger, and a touch of crimson appeared at the corners of his eyes.
You could still vaguely see sadness in him.
Xu Yihuan felt confused. He didn't care when she approached him, so why was he showing this kind of expression now?
Xu Yihuan forcefully shook off Zhou Yanzhe's restraints.
"What's it to you?"
"Is Tan Zhixu here? My English teacher asked me to give you my English notes."
Xu Yihuan called out again into the room.
This time, everyone could hear the sound clearly.
The group exchanged glances, then tacitly turned their attention to Tan Zhixu.
The ball that Qiu Tianyi was spinning in his hand fell to the ground.
Qiu Tianyi didn't pick it up either, and kept shoving Tan Zhixu's shoulder.
He was so surprised he almost cried out, "Oh my god, Brother Tan, it really is you!"
Tan Zhixu raised his eyes again.
A burning passion lurked in her beautiful eyes.
A casual smile remained on his lips as always.
Yet it seemed different from usual.
"I know."
Tan Zhixu slowly responded.
Then he got up, put his hands in his pockets, and slowly walked towards the door.
Tan Zhixu is very tall and has a straight posture.
The school uniform jacket was loosely draped over her body, and it was impossible to tell what she was wearing underneath, but her fair collarbone was vaguely visible.
A hint of amazement flashed in Xu Yihuan's eyes; so he was Tan Zhixu.
I only caught a quick glimpse of Tan Zhixu in the office just now, and it's only now that I can really see what he looks like.
Extremely unconventional and unrestrained.
Zhou Yanzhe stood in front of Xu Yihuan.
However, Tan Zhixu still managed to "brush past" Zhou Yanzhe.
He squeezed himself between the two of them.
Zhou Yanzhe stumbled as he was pushed.
He took a step back, looking even more disheveled.
Xu Yihuan reached out and handed the pink notebook in her hand to Tan Zhixu.
Tan Zhixu smelled a citrus scent, and then the pink notebook was handed to her by its owner.
After handing over the notebook, Xu Yihuan didn't look at the two of them again and turned around to go back to her class.
Zhou Yanzhe's gaze followed Xu Yihuan intently.
Until her figure disappeared.
His gaze shifted downwards, landing on the pink notebook in Tan Zhixu's hand.
A hint of relief could be seen on his face.
Since they're here to deliver English notebooks, there's not much to say.
After all, he heard it in his office at the time.
It was indeed Lin Zhi who sent Xu Yihuan to deliver it.
It's normal for Xu Yihuan to feel awkward refusing Lin Zhi, who is a teacher.
Besides, Xu Yihuan has been pursuing him for so many years.
With graduation from the college entrance examination just around the corner, my wish has come true.
How could I possibly give up at this point?
Thinking about it that way...
Zhou Yanzhe's anxious mood had now calmed down.
He glanced casually at Tan Zhixu, who was also standing at the door.
His eyes revealed disdain, yet also a hint of wariness.
Although Xu Yihuan didn't mean it that way, Tan Zhixu didn't know.
