Chapter 17 The Deeply Affectionate Character
"Brother Zhou, that's not how you coax a girl."
"You're so fierce, it scares me."
Wen Yuxing sat on the steps, sighing repeatedly.
Fang Qizhou picked up the breakfast that had fallen on the steps and dusted off the plastic bag.
Even if a bag full of food falls onto the steps, the food remains clean and still warm through the packaging.
"Brother Zhou, you know what, Zhu Fan, that ice beauty, doesn't look cold at all today."
"This good girl has quite a temper; she's half as fierce as you."
After Zhou Ge said "Don't cry," Zhu Fan gave Zhou Ge an angry and cold look, then turned and left.
Thinking of what had just happened, Wen Yuxing couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Zhu Fan, like an angry kitten, hissed at Zhou Ge.
It looks impressive, but it has almost no power.
Wen Yuxing squatted on the steps, practically etching "I'm so bored I'm about to go crazy" onto his forehead.
"Brother Zhou, I desperately want to help you coax Zhu Fan back."
He stared intently at Fang Qizhou.
As long as his brother Zhou gives the order, he will rush out without looking back.
He's incredibly good at charming girls.
Fang Qizhou untied the plastic bag, picked up a plump white steamed bun with his chopsticks, and slowly took a bite.
The aroma of food filled the air.
Wen Yuxing swallowed hard.
He was hungry too.
He glanced at Zhu Fan's receding figure, then at the steamed buns in his brother Zhou's hand.
There was a lot of breakfast in the bag, and he reached out his hand.
He yelled when the chopsticks hit the back of his hand.
"Brother Zhou!"
Fang Qizhou glanced at him.
Wen Yuxing was extremely resentful. His brother Zhou had always been the most generous to him and never hoarded food.
He was quite reasonable: "I'll only eat two eggs, but you have four eggs in this bag."
Eating two is a bit greedy, haha.
He held up his index finger, "Two are too many, I'll just eat one."
Wen Yuxing grinned after successfully eating the egg, pointing the white tip of the egg at Zhu Fan's small back, "Brother Zhou, don't let her long legs fool you, she walks pretty fast."
They disappeared in no time.
Fang Qizhou stood up from the steps.
Wen Yuxing jumped up, stuffed the whole egg into his mouth, and hopped down several steps.
After hopping to the bottom step, he grabbed his neck with both hands and asked, "Brother Zhou, how should we chase him? Sideways or vertically?"
He finally managed to swallow the egg that had made his eyes roll back in his head, then turned his head and yelled, "!!!!"
Fang Qizhou lazily stepped into the laboratory building.
Wen Yuxing pounded his chest, "Brother Zhou, wait for me—"
...
Zhu Fan walked for half an hour and his throat was burning from the heat.
There are many shared bicycles and electric bikes on campus.
But she neither knows how to ride nor dares to.
Before she transmigrated into the book, she learned to ride a bicycle in sixth grade, but ended up riding the bike into an artificial lake, which left her with a deep-seated aversion to cycling ever since.
The original owner of this body also did not have the skill of riding a bicycle.
As Zhu Fan walked, she mentally sliced Fang Qizhou from head to toe into eighty-one pieces with a razor blade.
Blood packs are amazing, aren't they?
Blood packs are truly remarkable.
She reluctantly swiped her student card and boarded the school shuttle bus.
My phone beeped twice with a message notification.
Zhu Fan clicked on it.
Ming Yazhi: [Afan, everything is ready.]
A series of questions flashed through Zhu Fan's mind.
Ming Ya-zhi: [Image/]
Zhu Fan enlarged the picture sent by Ming Yazhi.
The student auditorium appeared spacious and quiet under the sunlight. The usually solemn auditorium was now transformed into a romantic fairytale setting with flowers, balloons, and cakes.
Zhu Fan had a bad feeling.
Ming Yazhi: [Didn't you always feel like you didn't have a good opportunity to confess to Fang Qibai? I've prepared a super surprise for you.]
Zhu Fan's gaze fell on the popular post about Peking University that popped up on his phone.
#Let's witness a grand confession together#
This isn't just a trending post on a campus forum; it's even more of an electronic wedding invitation than a real person's.
From words to pictures, she put so much effort into it that Zhu Fan thought she was going to marry Fang Qibai.
Her fingertips pointed downwards—
[vcaol, who's confessing their love? Such a big fuss!?]
Bro, click the link before commenting.
What?! Our campus belle, Zhu, is finally going to confess her feelings to her crush?!
Brothers, wait for me, I'll be there in three minutes.
The people are already in the auditorium; the set design is outrageously extravagant.
[The mini cakes are already being eaten, picture///]
The constantly refreshing comments made Zhu Fan's eyes start to blur.
"Senior Sister Zhu, I—"
Zhu Fan looked up from his phone.
The girl, carrying a canvas bag, sat opposite Zhu Fan, smiling shyly. "I will go to the auditorium to applaud your love."
After saying this, the girl started commenting on the post: Wishing you a safe journey to the auditorium, senior.
Zhu Fan almost choked on his breath.
This confession, which she was completely unaware of, proceeded in full swing.
Ming Yazhi's playful and lively voice came through the receiver, "Afan, come quickly, Fang Qibai will be at the auditorium in ten minutes."
"I've also prepared the piano for you. You've practiced that piece many times beforehand, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"When Fang Qibai arrives, the big screen will display the sketches you've drawn for him over the years. You've liked him for so many years, you two will definitely get married."
Zhu Fanqinghe, when a person is speechless, the only thing they can do besides laugh is to laugh.
Mingya Zhi interpreted this soft exclamation as Zhu Fan being overjoyed beyond control.
"Afan, I'll be waiting for you in the auditorium."
On the other end of the phone, Ming Yazhi was still directing people to set up the venue while she was talking to her, doing everything herself, big or small.
"Mingya—"
The call abruptly ended.
Zhu Fan's fingertips, gripping the phone, turned slightly white.
The girl sitting opposite me let out an "Ah".
She covered her lips, staring in shock at the video on her phone.
This is a new post that topped the campus rankings just one minute ago.
#Zhu Fan and I are just good friends.#
In the video, Fang Qibai is stopped by Rong Lewei on the tree-lined path of the library.
The girl had exquisite makeup and wore a white dress. The bouquet of flowers hidden behind her shone with a romantic warmth in the sunlight.
"Fang Qibai, I've liked you since my first year of high school. It was your encouragement that helped me get into Peking University. Over the years, I've been trying my best to keep up with you. Although I'm still not quite there, I really, really like you. Today is my birthday. Will you be my boyfriend?"
"Just be my boyfriend for one day."
The girl held flowers in both hands, her hands trembling slightly from nervousness, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in having a girlfriend right now."
"Thank you for your kind words, and happy birthday."
The boy's rejection was gentle and gentlemanly.
Rong Le hugged the flowers to her chest with a self-deprecating smile, "Do you have someone you like in your heart?"
"Is it Zhu Fan?"
Is the person you like Zhu Fan?
The boy maintained a polite distance and did not leave after the girl asked him a question.
Sunlight filtered through the treetops, scattering across the man's face and eyebrows, making him so handsome that it was impossible to look away.
"Zhu Fan and I are just good friends."
The video freezes.
Zhu Fan couldn't help but want to applaud Ming Yazhi.
He created a devoted lover persona for her, but halfway through, Fang Qibai, the person in question, clearly told everyone that she was just a close friend of his.
If the original owner were here, her heart would probably be broken.
But now Zhu Fan's heart is as calm as a stagnant pool.
"Senior, are you alright?"
The girl pulled a pack of tissues out of her canvas bag and handed it to Zhu Fan.
The other passengers on the bus were also secretly watching Zhu Fan.
She looked up at the gazes directed at her, her eyes sweeping over them gently.
Zhu Fanchao smiled at the girl who had been treating her kindly, "I'm fine, thank you."
As the vehicle drove over a series of speed bumps, the small cardboard cake that the girl was carefully holding slipped from her arms.
The girl picked up the cake with a pained expression, regretting that she hadn't held it properly.
It must be deformed inside from the fall.
She also planned to go back to her dorm and take pictures to show her mother, to prove that she had eaten the birthday cake.
This little cake costs 25 yuan each, but she has always been reluctant to buy it.
It's her birthday today, so she's indulging herself a little.
Zhu Fan's gaze made her feel somewhat embarrassed.
She cherished a cake that others considered worthless.
She tucked the cake into her arms.
Is it your birthday today?
Zhu Fan's gentle voice made the girl's sudden feelings of inferiority disappear.
The girl stared blankly at Zhu Fan.
After a long while, her face flushed, and she said in a low voice, "Senior, don't be sad."
Zhu Fan smiled and said, "Yes, I'm not sad."
The girl looked up in disbelief. "Senior, you've broken up with your boyfriend—"
"Oh, no, are you still going to the auditorium?"
As if realizing that her words were rubbing salt into someone's wounds, the girl quickly covered up and changed the subject.
Ugh, I really want to sew my mouth shut.
Zhu Fan found the girl in front of her really cute, and she laughed out loud, "We're going to the auditorium, but not to confess our feelings."
A look of disappointment flashed in the girl's eyes.
The couple she shipped broke up.
Would you like to come to the auditorium to hear me play the piano?
"How can a birthday celebration only have a cake without flowers and music?"
