Chapter 11 "Do you have abs?" "Yes..."
Upon hearing this, not only Meng Xi, but the entire class stared at Lu Yu in shock.
However, the difference was that Meng Xi was surprised by the absurdity of his words, while the other students in the class were just watching the show and joining in the fun.
After calming down for a while, she frowned slightly and asked in as gentle a tone as possible, "Lu Yu, what do you mean by this?"
Lu Yu's expression was icy as he looked at Meng Xi, suppressing his anger and clenching his teeth in silence.
Meng Xi forced herself to stand up. The discomfort in her lower abdomen, coupled with her negative emotions, made Lu Yu's actions unbearable.
The internet is buzzing about her being a mistress, doesn't Lu Yu, one of the main characters, know about this?
Or perhaps, in his heart, the innocence or life and death of others are unimportant; as long as he is happy, everyone else can only cautiously and respectfully serve as his foil.
For the past four years, she had only watched him from afar, hearing about him from other people.
I used to think that someone as unapproachable as a star or the moon only had some bad habits. Although he was not someone to be trifled with, he wasn't exactly terrifying.
It turned out that once I got to know them, I realized that those rumors were true.
Lu Yu is a spoiled, capricious rich kid.
He only cares about making himself happy and doesn't consider anyone else's feelings.
She took a deep breath, her small, pale face saying, "Lu Yu, I appreciate your kindness." She paused for a few breaths, hesitated for a moment, and continued, "But... if you want to apologize, last time was enough. You don't need to make up for anything else."
Lu Yu stared intently at Meng Xi, but his volatile emotions were unknowingly and quietly dissolved by her gentle voice.
The murderous aura around him gradually subsided, turning into calm.
While everyone around her listened intently, Meng Xi looked at Lu Yu quietly and asked, word by word, "But Lu Yu, don't you know about those rumors?"
"Those rumors that I interfered in your relationship with Luo Ying and stole you away. Don't you know a single one of them?"
Recalling those harsh accusations and rumors, Meng Xi's nose tingled uncontrollably as she spoke, and large tears rolled down her dark, moist eyes.
Lu Yu's heart clenched suddenly.
Hearing this, the students who had been watching the commotion began to whisper among themselves.
...
"Hey, did you hear that? There was a plot twist!"
"I told you Luo Ying was delusional. Everyone knows Lu Yu changes girlfriends quickly. Have you ever seen him like anyone?"
"I was thinking that Lu Yu and Meng Xi hadn't spoken, right? This rumor about a mistress is pretty outrageous. But the key point is, listen to what she just said, something about apologies and compensation. Did they know each other before?"
...
Lu Yu's expression softened as he looked at the tears on her cheeks.
Actually, he wasn't unaware of these things.
He just hadn't expected that Meng Xi would care so much about such a small matter.
This is nothing more than Luo Ying's wishful thinking, blaming the breakup on someone else, as if that would win him back.
There are too many such things happening to him, each one a troublesome matter, but he has never bothered to take them to heart.
First, Lu Yu never goes back to an old flame.
Secondly, he doesn't like her.
But Meng Xi was an unexpected surprise to him.
An unexpected event that he couldn't control, that was unfamiliar and resistant to, yet that he couldn't bear to let go of.
His expression was indifferent, and his voice was as cold as ever: "I know."
Meng Xi's eyes reddened, and she bit her lower lip: "Do you know that you're still doing these things that cause misunderstandings? I know you mean well, but I don't need it, really."
Her voice choked with emotion as she looked up at him, "With so many classmates here, let's clarify things, okay?"
Lu Yu turned his head away without refuting, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Meng Xi explained earnestly and gently, "I knew Lu Yu before, but we were just nodding acquaintances and not very familiar with each other. Last time, I happened to see him with Luo Ying, and they broke up not long after. Luo Ying was sad and started spreading rumors."
"The college entrance exam is coming up soon, and all I want to do is study hard and do well on the exam. We've been in the same class for so long, and you all know what kind of person I am. Please believe me, I haven't interfered in anyone's relationship."
After saying all this, Luo Ying belatedly felt a little scared. She looked timidly at Lu Yu and mustered her courage to say, "Can we just stay peaceful and not bother each other, like before?"
As she finished speaking, her voice trembled and broke, filled with a helpless plea.
Lu Yu couldn't refuse.
She wanted to stay far away from him, and always avoided him at all costs.
She wanted to live the life she envisioned.
Since that's the case.
He left.
Lu Yu looked at her intently, silently concealing his sharp edge, his voice devoid of warmth: "Okay."
After he left, Class 3 immediately returned to its original state.
Meng Xi struggled back to her seat to drink hot water.
While tearing open the packaging of the hand warmer for her, Song Siyu tried to lighten the mood and cheer her up: "I didn't expect Xi Bao to be so brave! It's good that you've explained it clearly. You can just talk to Luo Ying about it later, and this matter will be over."
She was speaking with a smile when she suddenly thought of something and whispered, "However, Lu Yu... I think he's a bit strange."
Meng Xi rested her head on her arm, only her beautiful eyes showing, and asked in a soft, gentle voice, "What's strange?"
Song Siyu whispered mysteriously in his ear, "I think, could it be that he actually likes you?"
...?
Meng Xi thought for a moment, then shook her head: "Impossible."
"Why not?" Song Siyu exclaimed incredulously, "He came to deliver something to you in front of so many people!"
She gestured to the ground with her eyes and nodded, "He didn't take anything with him, such a big bag."
Speaking of this, Meng Xi also felt that it was a bit unusual.
She thought for a moment and gave what she felt was the only reasonable explanation: "It must be because of the time he wronged me before. He thought about it over and over and still felt guilty, and then he heard you say that I had menstrual cramps, so he went to buy it."
Meng Xi looked at Song Siyu seriously and said, "Siyu, Lu Yu could never like me."
"There are many reasons why it's impossible."
Before Song Siyu could ask anything else, the bell rang suddenly. She stuck out her tongue and quickly returned to her seat.
The early summer heat is intense.
For high school seniors, the most important thing is undoubtedly the college entrance examination.
After the teacher announced the time for the third mock exam, everyone's attention was focused on the exam, and the misunderstanding passed quickly.
Luo Ying hasn't come to school for several days.
Since the main characters in the story never come forward, the gossip, once clarified, is naturally forgotten over time.
For Meng Xi, life was corrected, and everything was back on track.
-
At Luo Ying's doorstep.
"Knock knock knock".
"who--?"
Luo Ying got off the bed barefoot and opened the door listlessly, only to see Liu Wei standing at her door.
?
What are you doing barging into her house without permission? It's so annoying!
But when Liu Wei saw Luo Ying open the door, he immediately stood up straight and rushed over, as happy as a lapdog that had finally found its owner: "I've finally found you...you deleted me..."
Luo Ying frowned and interrupted him, "Who told you to come to my house! Get out of here, or my parents will see you!"
She was pushing people out as she spoke.
In his haste, Liu Wei pushed open the door and shouted, "Wait a minute! I just want to say a few words to you and then I'll leave!"
Luo Ying stopped what she was doing and looked at him impatiently. "Hurry up and say it, then we'll leave."
Liu Wei, leaning against the doorframe, asked, "Why haven't you been going to school these past few days?"
Luo Ying replied indifferently, "I'm not feeling well, I don't want to go. Why are you being so nosy?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Wei became angry: "You're such a good student, and you don't want to take the college entrance exam just because of a guy?!"
"I told you I haven't been feeling well these past few days. Who told you I'm not taking the college entrance exam? Are you crazy?!" Luo Ying retorted angrily, "You want to control my bad mood? Liu Wei, can you just stay out of my way?"
Seeing that Luo Ying was heartbroken and in a bad mood, Liu Wei was both angry and sad: "Just because that girl stole Lu Yu, you're unhappy every day. What's so good about that pretty boy Lu Yu? I've never seen him smile at you even once!"
Luo Ying had finally calmed down these past few days and couldn't bear to hear Lu Yu's name. Whenever Lu Yu was mentioned, her voice would rise with tears as she stubbornly insisted, "He's perfect in every way! I just love him..."
Looking at her, Liu Wei felt a wave of defeat. He let go of Luo Ying's hand, utterly dejected, and said in a defiant tone, "Fine, you like him... then like him properly!"
-
On May 10th, the results of the third mock exam came out.
Meng Xi is once again ranked first in her grade.
Luo Ying also returned to school to attend classes.
Although he no longer had the same high spirits as before, he began to study and prepare for the exam in a down-to-earth manner, and never mentioned that past incident again.
Luo Ying clearly took Meng Xi's apology and explanation to heart.
Life returned to calm and uneventful days.
Qingwu No.1 Middle School achieved a record high in this exam, and the school leaders posted the scores of each class on a large LCD screen at the main entrance.
To encourage first- and second-year high school students to study hard.
During the morning exercise break, many people stopped to watch.
The scores for arts and sciences are separate.
The top scorer in the humanities was none other than Meng Xi.
The student who ranked last in science... was Lu Yu.
0 points in all subjects.
They were extremely arrogant.
Meng Xi hadn't paid much attention to Lu Yu's grades, but she had occasionally heard that he was often ranked last.
That left me with the impression that he had poor grades.
Speaking of which, how did he even get into Qingwu No.1 High School with grades like that...?
Could it be that they used connections?
His family is prominent and has a strong background. If he wanted to use connections to get into the top high school, it shouldn't be too difficult.
Meng Xi felt it was a pity.
If someone like Lu Yu takes up a spot in the school, then a student who studies hard and takes the exam will be left out.
This is unfair to those students.
And not only did they get into the top high school, they also had to go into the science and technology building... to become troublemakers.
What's the point?
Song Siyu pulled Meng Xi forward, saying with a grin, "Hurry up, Xi Xi! You've already gotten first place in the grade, what are you still looking at? This is our only PE class after the morning exercises, why don't you cherish this precious time?"
The four senior high school classes in the science and technology building always have their physical education classes together, with one teacher in charge of two classes.
I used to feel bored, so I would just move around a bit.
But when it really comes to the last time, I still feel very reluctant to part with it.
After the morning exercises, Meng Xi followed the group to the place where the teacher asked them to line up. Thinking about graduation, she suddenly felt very emotional.
After graduation, I don't know if I'll have the chance to come back and visit again.
She turned around and circled the entire playground, where the grass was lush and vibrant, wanting to memorize every corner of it.
As she looked towards the doorway, she was surprised to see... Lu Yu.
He was dressed in sportswear, which was unusual for him.
She already has a good height and long legs, and wearing sportswear gives her a different feel compared to her usual style.
The sun was very strong, so everyone lined up under the shade of the trees.
Lu Yu walked over unhurriedly, his expression still indifferent, yet he was exceptionally eye-catching.
You should know that Lu Yu almost never attended physical education classes before. He would disobey the teacher's orders and sleep in the back row of the classroom all day long, and would beat up anyone who called him.
After a while, nobody paid any attention to him anymore.
Since this was the last PE class, he didn't want to miss it.
Song Siyu also stared at Lu Yu and said with interest, "Xi Xi, do you think Lu Yu will show off his abs when he moves around in sportswear? He looks pretty good."
"But speaking of which, does Lu Yu have abs?"
Meng Xi looked at Lu Yu and nodded subconsciously: "Yes."
She had seen it.
