Chapter 3 Doesn't it hurt?
Chapter Summary: You still bump into me even though it hurts me?
Gu Linzhao's thinking was quite thorough.
Fu Xianyin thought to herself that if Gu Linzhao went shopping with her, she would be incredibly embarrassed when buying underwear.
While shopping, she read through all the school rules and regulations that Gu Linzhao had sent out. Beichuan No. 1 Middle School usually requires students to live on campus, with a two-week break. On the weekends of the break, there are no classes, and students can go home. On weekends without a break, students need to study on campus, but they don't have to wear school uniforms.
Fu Xianyin is tall and slender, so she can pull off any clothes. She shopped and bought as she went, taking whatever she found that fit the size to the cashier for payment. After browsing the entire floor, Fu Xianyin had lost count of how many clothes she had bought.
She glanced at her watch; it was almost nine o'clock.
I'm not going to shop anymore, I'll do it next time.
Fu Xianyin picked up her phone and sent a message to Gu Linzhao:
[Class monitor, I'm at the elevator on the west side of the third floor. I bought a lot of things, could you help me carry them?]
Gu Linzhao didn't think much of it and went up to the third floor in the elevator. He saw Fu Xuanyin with empty hands at the elevator entrance, paused, and asked:
Where is the stuff?
Fu Xianyin shrugged: "There are too many, they're all in the store. Could you please come with me to get them, class monitor?"
Gu Linzhao nodded.
Two minutes later, looking at the bag he could barely carry and the half-finished building he hadn't walked, he fell silent.
That's a lot.
Fu Xianyin was being modest when she said that.
There were faint signs of collapse at the corners of his eyes: "How much more is there?"
Fu Xianyin paused for two seconds, then pursed her lips: "These are... half, I guess."
She never buys things without restraint. This time, she shortened the time, but out of habit, she still bought the same amount.
Fu Xianyin's hands were also full of things. She looked at the shopping bags in Gu Linzhao's hands and suddenly glanced at the bag shop next to her.
She said, "Class monitor, wait for me a moment, I'm going to buy two suitcases."
After saying that, Fu Xianyin turned around and went into the luggage store. A few minutes later, she came out with three 30-inch large suitcases.
"Squad leader, can you do me a favor?"
Fu Xianyin pointed to the box: "Can I just stuff the clothes in? No need to fold them, just stuff them in."
She stuffed the things in her hand into the suitcase. Gu Linzhao seemed a little lost as he carried the bag. Fu Xianyin didn't say much, took the bag, and stuffed it into another suitcase.
With three suitcases crammed full, Fu Xianyin and Gu Linzhao walked out of the mall, each carrying a 30-inch suitcase.
Gu Linzhao had already hailed a taxi, and the two of them headed back to school. At this time, evening self-study had not yet ended, and the gatekeeper was watching the two of them with some vigilance.
Gu Linzhao was about to take the leave slip when Fu Xianyin squeezed in front of the old man first:
"Grandpa, my name is Fu Xianyin, and I'm in Class 35 of Senior High School. I just transferred here today. This afternoon after school, my parents and I went to buy some necessities. Since I'll be living at school, my parents are reluctant to let me go, so it took a little longer than expected. Could you please make an exception for me?"
She looked at Gu Linzhao and explained, "This is my class monitor. I ran into him at the street corner just now. He took leave from evening self-study tonight and has a leave slip."
Fu Xianyin's voice was soft, with a gentleness unique to girls. The gatekeeper saw that she was wearing a white dress and looked very well-behaved. He also saw the three large suitcases behind her and didn't suspect anything. He glanced at Gu Linzhao's leave slip and let the two of them in.
After walking a few steps through the small gate, Fu Xianyin raised an eyebrow at Gu Linzhao: "How about it, class monitor? You see, I didn't deduct any points from the class. Just do as I said, deduct only eight points, okay?"
Gu Linzhao remained silent.
He only agreed when they reached the girls' dormitory building.
There was no elevator in the dormitory, so Gu Linzhao told the dormitory manager and helped Fu Xianyin carry her suitcase all the way to the fourth floor.
Fu Xianyin only carried the lightest suitcase.
The two boxes were quite heavy, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on Gu Linzhao's forehead. His breathing became a little heavier, and he said to Fu Xianyin, "I won't go any further. You can go back by yourself."
His gaze shifted downwards, noticing the dust that Fu Xianyin's white dress had picked up while climbing over the wall. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he said:
"Don't do things like climbing over walls anymore. You must strictly abide by school rules and regulations, or you will lose points. 10 points means you have to write a self-criticism to Sister Gao, and 15 points means your parents will be called."
Fu Xianyin asked, "Will the teachers and parents know why points were deducted?"
Gu Linzhao said, "Yes."
Fu Xianyin nodded obediently: "I understand, I will try my best to get extra points, thank you class monitor."
Gu Linzhao didn't miss a single word in her words.
It's about adding points properly, not avoiding deducting points.
He looked at the girl in front of him, dressed in a white dress and leather shoes. She was pretty and had a bright, outgoing personality. But when she lowered her eyes, she looked like an obedient and well-behaved student.
However, he knew in his heart that Fu Xianyin was not obedient or well-behaved at all.
He suddenly had a premonition that his role as class monitor might not go very smoothly in the future.
At four o'clock in the morning, Fu Xianyin got out of bed.
She took a quick shower and went to sleep last night; all her clothes are still in her suitcase, and she set an alarm to pack them today.
At six o'clock sharp, Fu Xianyin entered the classroom.
She entered through the front door and happened to meet the gaze of Lin Anxu, the Right Protector. Lin Anxu, who had been catching up on his homework all morning, waved to Fu Xuanyin when he saw her arrive.
"Hey beautiful sister, biology is our second period today. They'll be checking our homework, and the teacher is really fierce."
After saying that, he suddenly realized, "Oh, I forgot, you just transferred here yesterday, you don't need to make it up."
He paused for two seconds and then began writing furiously again: "I'm not going to say anymore, I'm going to die if I don't write now."
Fu Xianyin glanced at the page number of Lin Anxu's workbook, sat down, and took out her biology workbook to start writing.
She kept writing until the Chinese teacher came to supervise the morning reading.
Fu Xianyin had memorized all the texts, and she was a bit bored during the entire morning reading session. Seeing that the Chinese teacher was sitting motionless at the podium, she nudged Gu Linzhao and quietly asked:
When was the most recent exam held here, and what was the scope of the exam?
Gu Linzhao said, "This is the monthly exam before the National Day holiday." He took out a notebook and showed it to Fu Xianyin: "The scope ends here."
Looking at the handwriting in the notebook, Fu Xianyin asked, "Can I copy this?"
Gu Linzhao slammed the notebook shut without hesitation: "Copy during morning reading time, after class."
Fu Xianyin shrugged.
Fine, I'll copy it after class.
She glanced at the time, then took out the math test from last night from her desk drawer and started working on it.
Gu Linzhao looked at the girl who was blatantly doing math work during the morning Chinese reading session, but ultimately said nothing.
The first lesson was math, and Fu Xianyin didn't want to fall too far behind.
On the one hand, the textbooks are somewhat different, and on the other hand, she didn't bring her previous notes or error notebook, so it was still a bit inconvenient to review them.
With only two weeks left until the monthly exam, she didn't have much time.
Chen Huimei only cared about two things: her survival and her academic performance.
From childhood to adulthood, under Chen Huimei's almost oppressive management, Fu Xianyin's grades have always been among the top in her grade.
Whenever Chen Huimei did poorly on a test, she would start crying and complaining about how miserable she was. At first, Fu Xianyin would sincerely try to comfort her, or she would be infected by Chen Huimei's emotions and cry along with her. However, as she grew older, she became more and more numb.
Chen Huimei's crying only upsets her.
Fu Xianyin hated the feeling of being annoyed, so in order to avoid being annoyed, she had to find ways to prevent Chen Huimei from crying, and in order to prevent Chen Huimei from crying, she had to do well on her exams.
Especially this time, she, who has already completed a full round of senior high school studies, is taking the monthly exam with senior high school students. If she doesn't do well, Chen Huimei will definitely cry even harder.
She flipped through her textbooks, found a notebook, and roughly made a review plan for herself.
The first class was math, taught by Sister Gao. She came in through the back door, took Gu Linzhao's test paper, and leaned down to say to Fu Xianyin, "You two take a look at one."
Fu Xianyin nodded and took out her own exam paper, placing it on the table.
The handwriting on the test paper was neat, and detailed steps were written next to each question, even for multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions.
Gu Linzhao glanced at Fu Xianyin with some surprise.
Sister Gao has already started explaining, and Fu Xianyin's multiple-choice fill-in-the-blank was completely correct, and her thinking was exactly the same as what Sister Chen taught.
This test paper is quite difficult. After explaining the multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions, there were only five minutes left. Seeing that she wouldn't be able to finish, Sister Gao flipped the paper over and said:
"Come on, let's look at the last question. This question is a little beyond the scope of the curriculum. I'll briefly explain the approach, and you can go back and work on this question again after we finish tomorrow's lesson."
She walked around the classroom, and unsurprisingly, almost the entire class left the last question blank. When she passed Fu Xianyin, Sister Gao took a second look.
Fu Xianyin filled the last question with her handwriting.
After class, Lin Anxu ran to the back of the classroom with his test paper, looking distressed.
"Brother Zhao, I didn't understand the solution to the last question at all. Can you show me your test paper?"
Gu Linzhao pointed at Fu Xianyin: "Look at her, she writes more meticulously than I do."
Lin Anxu was somewhat surprised: "Beautiful lady, you know how to do this question too?"
Fu Xianyin took out the test paper from the folder: "Of course, you call me beautiful sister, what can't a beautiful sister do?"
As she handed him the test paper, she asked, "Have you finished your biology tutoring?"
Lin Anxu shook his head: "No, the PE teacher just said that biology class and PE class have been swapped."
He chuckled and said, "I have a little more time now."
Lin Anxu took the test paper and flipped it over.
Fu Xianyin's work was neat and her steps were clear and specific, without skipping a single step. It was indeed much easier to understand than Gu Linzhao's split-like process.
Lin Anxu immediately switched sides: "Beautiful sister, can I borrow your math homework to take a look at in the future? I feel that copying your homework is more efficient than copying Brother Zhao's homework."
Fu Xianyin asked with some confusion, "How is it more efficient? It has fewer steps, shouldn't it be more efficient?"
Lin Anxu shook his head: "No, no, no, Brother Zhao's steps are too few. I just copied them and couldn't understand them at all. I can understand yours if I copy yours. It's a win-win situation."
He glanced at the watch hanging behind him: "Let's go, let's go, class is about to start, let's get out of this deadly classroom quickly."
Physical education classes are pretty much the same everywhere. After running two laps to warm up, they start free time. Lin Anxu had already run towards the basketball, but the PE teacher grabbed him by the collar and dragged him back.
"The monthly exam is in two weeks. We'll start testing physical education from this class. There will be two tests per class."
He shook his stopwatch: "Same as always, boys and girls stand separately. This class will test the 50-meter dash and long jump. Class monitor and sports committee member, organize the formation. I'll go over there and take the time."
Lin Anxu nimbly flipped onto the stands and directed the boys and girls to stand in line.
"Come on, girls in front, boys in back, four people in a group."
Once the lines were formed, Lin Anxu ran to the PE teacher and replaced Gu Linzhao with the whistle from the stands.
Fu Xianyin was standing still when she was suddenly nudged by someone.
The little girl next to me said displeasedly, "Could you move over there a bit? Why are you squeezing in here?"
Fu Xianyin noticed that the person standing to her right had somehow moved to the other side. Meeting the girl's somewhat provocative gaze, she didn't dwell on it and moved a step to the right: "Sorry."
The girl snorted and her gaze involuntarily drifted towards Gu Linzhao in the stands.
When it was Fu Xianyin's turn, she had just gotten into her starting position when Gu Linzhao called her back:
"Fu Xianyin".
She looked up and heard Gu Linzhao say, "Don't stand so close to the stands, you're likely to bump into each other. Move a little to the left, Song Yaoge, the three of you move a little to the left."
The girl next to Fu Xianyin, named Song Yaoge, pursed her lips, a hint of embarrassment on her face.
Once they were ready, Gu Linzhao began to blow the whistle.
The sharp whistle startled Fu Xianyin. She was momentarily stunned and slowed down her start. Just as she was about to sprint forward, a violent impact from her left pushed her against the wall of the stands.
Song Yaoge sat on the ground and burst into tears. She pointed at Fu Xianyin and shouted:
"What are you doing? Gu Linzhao just told you to go to the left, not this far to the left. Why are you pushing me? I've twisted my ankle. What are we going to do for the cultural performance?"
Fu Xianyin thought to herself, "How innocent I am."
Song Yaoge burst into tears, and her girlfriends immediately surrounded her, listing all of Fu Xianyin's faults.
However, after only a few words of criticism, Fu Xianyin's voice, trembling with tears, rang out:
"Song Yaoge, don't bully me like this. How can it all be my fault when we collided? I was clearly on my own track."
Her words didn't seem very convincing at first glance. Compared to Song Yaoge's sprained ankle, Fu Xianyin, who was uninjured, seemed to be the culprit by default.
Just the next second.
Fu Xianyin stretched out her right leg. The fabric of her school uniform at the knee was torn and soaked with blood, staining a large area of her school uniform pants.
She gasped in pain, tears streaming down her face: "You knocked me into the stands too, and I'm even more injured than you. I haven't said anything to you, so why are you criticizing me right away?"
Song Yaoge was stunned.
Her girlfriends were also stunned.
The surrounding classmates couldn't bear to look at Fu Xianyin. No one spoke, but the way they looked at Song Yaoge changed somewhat.
The injuries of the two people were clearly not in the same degree.
Song Yaoge's ankle wasn't swollen much, while Fu Xianyin's knee was injured and bled a lot.
The PE teacher also came over, and his face darkened when he saw the injury on Fu Xianyin's knee.
He said to Gu Linzhao, "Squad leader, come here and help her to the infirmary for disinfection."
Gu Linzhao jumped down from the stands, took Fu Xianyin's arm, and helped her walk step by step toward the infirmary.
Having walked halfway across the playground, Fu Xianyin's tears were dried by the wind. She didn't utter a sound, and her emotions quickly returned to normal.
Gu Linzhao's voice came from the side:
“I saw it.”
Fu Xianyin nodded: "That's perfect. The class monitor can testify that I didn't hit her and clear my name."
Gu Linzhao remained silent for a long time without saying a word.
The doctor in the infirmary disinfected Fu Xianyin's wound and gave her a simple bandage. Fu Xianyin sat on the hospital bed and swung her legs.
"Doesn't it hurt?"
The medicine on her leg was causing excruciating pain in the wound, and Fu Xianyin grimaced, "What are you talking about? Try bumping into it yourself!"
A muffled voice came from not far away: "You still bumped into me even though it hurts."
He could see very clearly from the stands.
Song Yaoge intended to help Fu Xianyin slow down her progress, but she accidentally bumped into Fu Xianyin.
The injury on Fu Xianyin's leg was not caused by the collision at that time, but by the rough wall of the stands that Song Yaoge rubbed against her as she accused Fu Xianyin.
Fu Xianyin was not surprised by Gu Linzhao's words.
From his angle, he could definitely see what she did.
The window of the infirmary was open, and the white curtains were blown by the wind, draped over Fu Xianyin's shoulders.
She smiled nonchalantly: "What should we do then? Class monitor, give me some advice. I'll see if I have any other ideas and try them next time."
