Chapter 47 Enjoy [VIP]
Chapter Summary: How can she be so cute?
The leader's speech went through Fu Xianyin's mind in a flash and then disappeared without leaving a trace.
Her long eyelashes drooped slightly, her eyes were unfocused, and she stared blankly at a white line on the playground in front of her.
They didn't even know when the leader finished speaking.
Gu Linzhao nudged her shoulder and whispered, "Let's go."
Fu Xianyin then came to her senses.
This scene was captured by a drone and projected onto a large screen.
As soon as Fu Xianyin looked up, she saw her own face and Gu Linzhao's face magnified on the big screen.
The crowd that was leaving the field stopped and looked at the two people on the big screen.
Fu Xianyin could even hear the whispers of those around her:
"Oh my god, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."
"Me too."
"They're such a perfect match, is that something to be said?"
Fu Xianyin thought to herself, "You've already said everything that I shouldn't have said."
This isn't the first time we've heard talk about her and Gu Linzhao.
During the last cultural performance, when she and Gu Linzhao stood on the stage together, Fu Xianyin also heard similar discussions from the audience.
But this time is a little different from the last time.
The last time she was discussed, those words were like smoke in the wind. Fu Xianyin didn't care what they said or Gu Linzhao's reaction.
Her only feelings were annoyance and embarrassment at being the center of gossip.
But this time...
Fu Xianyin didn't move her body or her eyes, but she couldn't help but focus her attention on the person behind her.
At that moment, Fu Xianyin suddenly felt somewhat fortunate that the drone had captured their image.
That way, she wouldn't need to turn around to see all of Gu Linzhao's reactions.
Unlike her, Gu Linzhao seemed unaffected.
Fu Xianyin saw him smile on the big screen, tug at her coat sleeve, and say, "Let's go."
The whole process was so natural that Fu Xianyin felt he was not affected by the big screen at all.
That's true.
Gu Linzhao has always been a prominent figure at school. Being shown up in the face on the big screen and being the subject of whispered discussions among everyone are common occurrences.
He will naturally get used to it.
The class sign had been taken away by Gu Linzhao at some point. Fu Xianyin put her hands in the warm pockets of her coat, using the last bit of time to warm them.
She thought she would still not care.
But she couldn't do it.
She couldn't help but think that she had always received the same treatment in Linlan, being talked about and criticized, and being a prominent figure for three years.
Why is this time different?
This question remained unanswered until the start of the square formation.
The formations are arranged according to class and grade, starting with the first and second year of high school, and ending with the third year.
Many classes in the first and second years of high school put on elaborate and colorful displays, with banners, posters, ribbons, guns, and a few even went so far as to cosplay some anime characters.
Lin Anxu sighed from the side: "Sigh, we were the same last year. If the monthly exams weren't so close this year and we didn't have time to prepare, we wouldn't have been able to go on stage so simply."
“Simple, what?” Chen Nianke said calmly, “Yinyin alone defeats all the fancy stuff.”
Cheng Zhaozhao: "That's right, that's right."
Fu Xianyin sighed and rubbed her forehead: "Alright, you guys should say less."
If this continues, she'll really dig up a Barbie dream castle on the playground.
Lin Anxu had somehow moved next to Fu Xianyin and said slyly:
"Sister, look, those clothes are all flat and you can tell they didn't do their homework beforehand. It's more fun to wear a down jacket over your belly inside these mascot costumes so that your belly bulges out."
Fu Xianyin said, "Where did you get your experience from? Did you accumulate it last year?"
Lin Anxu proudly said, "It wasn't just last year; I did it the year before too."
He said, "Sis, you don't know, last year I begged and pleaded with Brother Zhao to wear Xiong Da and Xiong Er costumes with me, but he absolutely refused."
Fu Xianyin was baffled by the absurdity.
She said, "There's no way he'd agree to that."
Cheng Zhaozhao said from the side, "Yinyin, you don't know how stubborn that scoundrel Lin Anxu is. Last year, when the sports meet was postponed and Song Yaoge was to compete instead of Gu Linzhao, Lin Anxu didn't give up until Gu Linzhao picked up the class sign."
Lin Anxu tried to defend himself, saying, "No, it's more fun when Xiong Da and Xiong Er are together. There's no way they can be alone."
After a while of joking around, it was the seniors' turn to line up.
Fu Xianyin reluctantly took off her coat, held her class name tag, and stood at the front of the line.
On the brick-red track, Fu Xianyin, dressed in a green dress and holding her class sign, walked towards the podium.
On the stage, the host is introducing each class.
"Next up walking towards us is Class 35 of Senior Three. They are full of fighting spirit and energy, and their every move interprets the spirit of youth and the prime of life."
The plastic track underfoot is not as hard as cement; when you step on it with your heels, you can clearly feel a soft yet resilient texture.
The hosts' introductions were all pretty much the same, but when Fu Xianyin's close-up was shown on the big screen, she heard the host say:
"At the very front of Class 15 is Fu Xianyin, the top student in our senior year."
The audience erupted in cheers.
Why are you doing side jobs too?
Fu Xianyin thought to herself.
The background music was lively but not noisy. Just as Fu Xianyin was about to walk past the podium, suddenly, the cannon next to her fired a burst of colorful ribbons that changed the sky.
Colorful confetti fluttered in the wind, and the cheers from the audience grew even louder.
This scene was projected onto the big screen.
Under a clear blue sky, on a deep dark red running track, a group of students, whose vibrant energy cannot be concealed even in their school uniforms.
Colorful confetti bursts in the air like fireworks, and the fluttering petals and enthusiastic smiles are captured on the screen.
The cheers of her classmates filled her ears; Fu Xianyin, with her sharp ears, could even hear some of the younger students calling her name.
"Senior, senior, look at the camera!"
It's a feeling I can't quite describe.
Because at this moment, only one word was on Fu Xianyin's mind.
enjoy.
She was in what was perhaps the most difficult and bleak period of her life—her senior year of high school.
In Beichuan, at No. 1 Middle School, at this very moment.
I'm truly enjoying it.
There's a saying that one cannot simultaneously possess youth and the feeling of youth.
But Fu Xianyin felt differently.
She is young.
They are also experiencing and enjoying their youth.
After the opening ceremony, the sports meet officially began.
Fu Xianyin thought she could finally wear a coat to keep warm, but she didn't expect that as soon as she finished marching in formation, Cheng Zhaozhao would pull her aside to take a photo with her.
Cheng Zhaozhao brought a camera and a Polaroid camera. She and Chen Nianke each took two Polaroid photos with Fu Xianyin, and then Gu Linzhao took one photo of the three of them.
Chen Nianke waved the photographic paper in her hand, waiting for the colors to develop. Gu Linzhao handed her the Polaroid camera, and Cheng Zhaozhao was just about to hang it back around her neck when she heard Gu Linzhao say:
"Can you take a picture of me and the goddess too?"
Fu Xianyin looked up and met a pair of smiling eyes.
Cheng Zhaozhao paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, okay."
She handed the photographic paper to Chen Nianke and directed Fu Xianyin and Gu Linzhao to take the picture:
"You two, stand closer together. Why are you so far apart?"
Her arm brushed against Gu Linzhao's school uniform sleeve, and a sweet fragrance wafted into her nostrils.
Fu Xianyin was enveloped by a familiar aura.
Gu Linzhao approached her with a warm aura.
Fu Xianyin suddenly felt her limbs stiffen for a moment.
Lin Anxu shouted, "Don't keep that long face, smile!"
His voice was quite loud, and many people looked over.
Fu Xianyin became even more nervous.
She pursed her lips, her body involuntarily leaning towards Gu Linzhao.
With a click, the shutter was pressed.
The warmth behind her faded, and a cold wind blew, making Fu Xianyin shiver.
Just as she was about to go and see what the final photo would look like, she heard someone next to her ask, "Fu Xianyin, can I take a picture with you too?"
It's Xu Xinyu.
Fu Xianyin took a picture with her.
Many people came to join in the fun and wanted to take photos with Fu Xianyin. Fu Xianyin couldn't refuse, so she took photos with each of them.
Not only her classmates, but even some unfamiliar faces, who were obviously from other classes, came to take photos with her.
In the end, even younger students came over, blushing, to ask:
"Senior, can I take a picture with you?"
...
By the time they finished filming the last person, Fu Xianyin felt like she was almost frozen numb.
She hurriedly went to find her coat, but suddenly felt a warmth on her shoulder as someone draped the coat over her from behind.
It was Gu Linzhao.
Fu Xianyin looked at him and suddenly remembered the photo she had just taken, so she asked him, "Where's that Polaroid photo? Give it to me."
She had already stretched out her hand, prepared for Gu Linzhao to put the photograph in her hand, but to her surprise, Gu Linzhao laughed and said, "It's lost."
Lost?
Fu Xianyin's voice rose an octave. She looked at Gu Linzhao in disbelief and asked, "You lost it? Really?"
Gu Linzhao's expression remained unchanged: "It's fake."
Fu Xianyin: ...?
She opened her mouth, wanting to scold Gu Linzhao, but what came out was: "Let me see."
Her voice softened unconsciously; she sounded somewhat annoyed, but her words came out like a coquettish plea.
Unconsciously, she was being affectionate with him.
Gu Linzhao's Adam's apple bobbed, and he suddenly felt like teasing her.
He said, "No, that one is mine. What if you give it to me and then don't return it?"
Fu Xianyin was dumbfounded.
She had never seen Gu Linzhao act so shamelessly before, and even she, who was usually so eloquent, was speechless.
After holding it in for a long time, she finally said, "The photos are of the two of us, so how come they're yours?"
Gu Linzhao still acted shamelessly: "Cheng Zhaozhao gave it to me, so it's mine now."
Fu Xianyin felt like her brain had shut down.
Just as she was about to say something, Song Yaoge suddenly came over.
She asked Fu Xianyin, "Could you come with me to buy some milk tea?"
Fu Xianyin remembered what Song Yaoge had said to her before the opening ceremony, and knew that she didn't just want to buy milk tea, so she said, "Okay, let's go."
As she passed Gu Linzhao, Fu Xianyin puffed out her cheeks and said:
"I'm going to buy milk tea. I won't bring you mango pomelo sago."
After saying that, she left with Song Yaoge.
Gu Linzhao was left alone, watching Fu Xianyin's retreating figure and chuckling to himself.
What about her?
So cute!
