Chapter 45 Goddess [VIP]
Chapter Summary: Could you please bless me too?
Gu Linzhao still didn't look at her.
For some reason, even though most of the attention on the playground was on her, Fu Xianyin was still stubbornly fixated on the little gesture Gu Linzhao had made when he turned his head just now.
Perhaps he didn't do it on purpose.
Or perhaps he was simply distracted by something else.
Even if there is no reason at all, Gu Linzhao not looking at her cannot be considered a crime.
But Fu Xianyin is currently unhappy.
She knew exactly what she was unhappy about, and she also knew the source of her unhappiness.
She understood even more clearly that her outburst of temper was strange and completely unreasonable.
This is a genuine outburst of temper.
But so what?
The reason is fictitious, but the feeling is real.
She genuinely felt unhappy.
Before she could calm down, Cheng Zhaozhao had already broken away from the group and run to her side.
Cheng Zhaozhao's eyes sparkled with excitement as she touched Fu Xianyin's curly hair, nudged Fu Xianyin's shoulder, and even lingered on Fu Xianyin's chest with a mischievous grin.
Fu Xianyin nudged Cheng Zhaozhao's head and said with a laugh, "What are you looking at? You're such a pervert."
Cheng Zhaozhao swallowed dramatically, her eyes darting around, then she closed them, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and said, "Forgive me, forgive me, I have blasphemed the goddess, please forgive me, goddess."
Fu Xianyin was happy to play along: "I'll let it go this time, but I'll be more careful next time."
Cheng Zhaozhao said devoutly, "Yes, Goddess, please bless me to pass the exam and get a high score."
Fu Xianyin removed the golden olive leaf from her wrist, waved it in front of Cheng Zhaozhao with an air of importance, and said, "Alright, the goddess has cast a spell on you, you will definitely succeed in this exam."
Lin Anxu was speechless: "Cheng Zhaozhao, how childish are you?"
Cheng Zhaozhao completely ignored her and bowed to Fu Xianyin several more times. Chen Nianke, who was standing nearby, couldn't hold back any longer and eagerly leaned in, saying, "It's my turn, it's my turn! Goddess, please bless me!"
Fu Xianyin performed it again in the same way.
Lin Anxu, who was standing to the side, had changed from looking disgusted to joining in since he couldn't beat them. He rubbed his fists together and pretended to bow to Fu Xianyin.
Cheng Zhaozhao chimed in, "He just said I'm childish, and that the goddess won't bless him."
Lin Anxu retorted, "I said you were naive, but I didn't say the goddess was naive. These are two different things."
Cheng Zhaozhao said, "The goddess loves me the most."
Lin Anxu retorted, "The goddess loves me too."
Fu Xuanyin was at her wits' end by their antics, so she waved the bracelet in front of Lin Anxu a couple of times as a gesture of goodwill.
To her surprise, this was not the end.
Following Lin Anxu, Xu Xinyu also came over with a chuckle to join in the fun, and then came many classmates she usually didn't even have much contact with.
Everyone spontaneously lined up in pairs, all clamoring for the goddess's blessing.
"May the goddess bestow blessings upon me, I want one too!"
"Goddesses, goddesses, can you give me some of the power of being number one in the grade?!"
"Goddess, he wants to be number one in the grade. He's too greedy. I only need the power of 150 in math."
The crowd was chattering and making a ruckus, while Lin Anxu stood by, maintaining order in a rather professional manner.
"Don't rush, everyone. Come on, let's all be in an orderly manner. The goddess will take care of everyone."
Fu Xianyin: ...
Looking at the group of people in front of her, she suddenly couldn't understand how things had developed this way.
She wasn't familiar with most of the people in her class, and they barely even interacted.
How did she suddenly become so popular?
People kept making a fuss, but Fu Xianyin could sense that there was no malice in it.
In the noisy crowd, every element emanating from them was benevolent.
This was something Fu Xianyin had never experienced before.
She suddenly felt a little lost.
He waved the golden olive leaf in front of the crowd, and they immediately erupted into a huge uproar.
"The goddess is bestowing blessings! Everyone, catch them quickly!"
"Hey, do you think this was a gift from a goddess or from the top student in the grade?"
"Whoever bestowed it upon you is incredibly awesome, okay? Let me receive it already!"
A burning gaze fell upon Fu Xianyin, and she suddenly didn't know what to do next.
Just as she was at a loss, Gu Linzhao's voice rang out from the crowd:
"Sister Gao is here, everyone line up in formation."
The crowd that had been forming a circle suddenly dispersed and returned to a square formation.
Fu Xianyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of the sports meet, even though Gao Ying saw their class making a ruckus from afar, she only smiled and said a few words:
"What are you all doing, so excited?"
Some people said, "Teacher, let's wait for the goddess to bless us!"
Fu Xianyin's ears turned red.
How could I possibly say something like that?
Gao Ying glanced at Fu Xianyin and praised, "So beautiful."
She turned her head and said, "Alright, everyone stand in formation. We'll have one last rehearsal with all grades later. The opening ceremony is about to begin."
Fu Xianyin went to look for the class sign on her own initiative, but she couldn't find it after searching around.
She asked Lin Anxu, "Where did you put the class sign?"
Lin Anxu: "Holy crap, we didn't get the class sign."
Fu Xianyin: "It's alright. It shouldn't matter if there are no class signs during the rehearsal. You guys line up first, I'll go up and get them."
She broke away from the group, walked to the back, and said something to Gao Ying. Gao Ying nodded and said, "Be careful walking in your high heels."
After saying this, Gao Ying called out, "Squad leader, come here for a moment."
She instructed Gu Linzhao: "You and Xianyin go and take down the class sign. Song Yaoge should be back at school today. If you see her in the classroom, call her down."
Gu Linzhao nodded: "Okay, teacher."
Gao Ying went to rehearsal with the team. Fu Xianyin was about to walk towards the teaching building when Gu Linzhao called out to her, "Wait a minute."
Fu Xianyin was confused, but then she saw Gu Linzhao run to the edge of the playground and pick up her coat that had been thrown aside.
He handed the coat to Fu Xianyin: "It's quite chilly, put this on, or you'll catch a cold."
Fu Xianyin took the coat and heard Gu Linzhao chuckle briefly: "Even a goddess should be careful."
Fu Xianyin paused in putting on her coat, looking at Gu Linzhao with a strange expression.
Gu Linzhao didn't think there was anything wrong with the title "Goddess". He helped Fu Xianyin adjust her coat collar and only let go when he saw her arm go into the other sleeve.
He said, "The goddess just blessed so many people, could she also bless me?"
Fu Xianyin responded with a crisp, decisive back view: "No."
She refused quickly, without even having time to think, and turned to leave after saying no.
As expected, Gu Linzhao caught up with her.
He asked somewhat helplessly, "Why? Did I do something to displease the goddess?"
Fu Xianyin thought to herself, "Of course."
The image of Gu Linzhao turning his head to the side flashed through her mind again.
The resentment that had finally subsided returned with a vengeance. Fu Xianyin was still sulking, but her mouth was a step ahead of her brain.
She heard herself say:
Why didn't you look at me just now?
Gu Linzhao was taken aback.
After realizing what she had said, Fu Xianyin froze for a moment.
Heaven and earth.
What did she do?
She was questioning Gu Linzhao about why he hadn't looked at her earlier.
Has she gone mad?
Fu Xianyin swore to God that she really didn't mean it that way.
She just wanted to ask Gu Linzhao why he felt so disgusted after only glancing at her twice.
That's not right either.
She was referring to why Gu Linzhao suddenly turned his head away.
That doesn't seem right either.
An eerie silence enveloped the two of them.
Fu Xianyin stammered, trying to explain herself: "What I mean is, why...why did you just now?"
She couldn't continue.
At this moment, even a score of 139 in Chinese language is of no use.
Fu Xianyin suddenly felt saddened, realizing that she definitely wouldn't get a high score of 139 in Chinese this time.
On the other side, Gu Linzhao was also taken aback by her words.
On the one hand, he had no idea that Fu Xianyin would say such things so bluntly.
On the other hand,
The root cause of this problem is that he couldn't be completely honest with Fu Xianyin.
The moment Fu Xianyin appeared in his sight, Gu Linzhao felt his heart skip a beat.
In that instant, it seemed as if there were only the two of them in the world.
Cheng Zhaozhao was right, Fu Xianyin really is a goddess.
A goddess descended to earth, each step she took creating lotus blossoms.
Gu Linzhao was stunned for two seconds.
When he came to his senses, his ears were burning hot, and he could feel it himself.
So he turned his head away, trying to cover it up.
Unexpectedly, Fu Xianyin witnessed this scene perfectly.
Not only that, she also seemed to be bothered by why he suddenly turned his head away.
But how exactly should this be said?
When I said I liked you, I couldn't look you in the eye for a moment.
Gu Linzhao felt that if he confessed everything to Fu Xianyin now, then tomorrow, no, he wouldn't even wait until tomorrow; the next second, Fu Xianyin would immediately sever ties with him.
Instead of calling out to Gu Linzhao in a tantrum, she addressed him as "class monitor" in a distant and unfamiliar manner.
For the first time, he felt so clearly and distinctly that unrequited love was something he couldn't advance or retreat from.
There were rushing rivers in front and behind, but the only thing underfoot was a piece of driftwood.
The silence lasted terribly long.
Fu Xianyin even wondered if she would lose everything if she climbed to the third floor and then jumped to her death.
In the quiet stairwell, only the sound of two footsteps could be heard.
Fu Xianyin racked her brains for a topic, but apart from the sentence she herself had said, "Why don't you look at me?", nothing else came to her mind.
Suddenly, Gu Linzhao broke the silence.
His voice was melodious, almost like a sigh: "Because the goddess is too beautiful, I'm afraid if I keep looking at her, she'll think I'm up to no good and stop protecting me."
Fu Xianyin said in a low voice, "Glib-tongued."
Gu Linzhao, however, said, "Every word is true."
In conclusion, this topic has been put to rest.
The moment the two entered the classroom, they made eye contact with Song Yaoge, who was sitting in the first row.
When Song Yaoge saw the two of them come in side by side, she stood up abruptly, but just stood there dumbfounded.
Fu Xianyin said, "I'll go find the class sign across the street first."
After she finished speaking, she went straight to the activity room across the street.
By the time she returns, Gu Linzhao should have already told Song Yaoge what he wrote.
Gu Linzhao reached out and turned off the classroom lights, then took the class sign from Fu Xianyin's hand and said, "Let's go."
The three walked side by side.
She and Song Yaoge were practically strangers, the kind who hadn't even exchanged a single word. Therefore, when she walked over just now, she instinctively sided with Gu Linzhao.
The current formation is that she and Song Yaoge are on the left and right, respectively, with Gu Linzhao sandwiched in the middle.
It's rather eerie.
Fu Xianyin's mind was filled with the phrase, "If I had known it would be this awkward, I wouldn't have come."
It wasn't just a matter of unfamiliarity; she heard from Cheng Zhaozhao and the others that Song Yaoge seemed to have some feelings for Gu Linzhao.
Suddenly, her memory was pulled back to the night before Song Yaoge's training camp.
She and Gu Linzhao walked at the back, talking to each other, while Fu Xianyin listened to Cheng Zhaozhao and the others speculating whether Song Yaoge was going to confess to Gu Linzhao.
The scene seemed to be recreated.
Fu Xianyin suddenly felt a little superfluous.
But why, this time, did she feel superfluous?
There seems to be a void in my heart.
