New classmates
Fu Xingchuan received a call from the doctor at the time. His twin sister Zhu Sui'an had a congenital heart disease. She had surgery when she was a child and had been in good condition since then. However, she suddenly fainted a month ago and was hospitalized.
The doctor did a set of tests at the time and said there was nothing wrong, but today he called again and said that he might need surgery, and the risk of the surgery was quite high.
Their parents have returned from Jinghe. His father is a cardiologist. He learned the specific situation from the doctors here and after some discussion they decided not to perform surgery for the time being and to pay more attention to the patient.
When Fu Xingchuan arrived at Zhu Sui'an's VIP ward, she was holding a big teddy bear and watching TV. Her lips were pale but she had a smile on her face.
"Fu Xingchuan, have you finished the transfer?"
He said hoarsely, "It has been done long ago."
"I'll be discharged tomorrow."
"Do we really have to go to No. 1 Middle School?" Fu Xingchuan sat on a chair beside the bed, peeling an apple for her. "You know your body best. You're unfamiliar with everything in No. 1 Middle School. There are many uncertainties. What if..."
Zhu Sui'an took his apple, took a bite, and said slowly: "What if? Coward, I'm not afraid, so why should you be afraid?"
"At the moment I fainted, I saw my true love coming to save me on a colorful cloud. I had to go find him," Zhu Sui'an said vividly.
Fu Xingchuan, who had heard her say this countless times since she woke up, interrupted her, "Did you see clearly?"
"Yes, I can see him clearly. When I get to No. 1 Middle School, I will be able to recognize him at a glance." She said affirmatively.
Fu Xingchuan frowned and looked at her helplessly.
"If you keep staring at me like that, just get out. You're disturbing me from watching TV." Zhu Sui'an drove him away.
Fu Xingchuan stood up and said, "I'll come back later."
"No need. My parents are with me. It's unnecessary for you to come over." She said heartlessly while biting an apple and watching TV.
As Fu Xingchuan stepped out of the ward, he heard her clear voice from behind, "Fu Xingchuan, don't be afraid. When you get to No. 1 Middle School, I'll protect you."
Ms. Zhu Yu said that Zhu Sui'an was indeed born before Fu Xingchuan, and logically should be the older sister, but she was diagnosed with heart problems as soon as she was born, while Fu Xingchuan was very healthy, so she made him the older brother and had to spoil his younger sister all her life.
However, Zhu Sui'an never called him brother. Every day he called him by his name without any respect for his age, and even called himself his sister.
Of course he was unhappy, but every time he thought about never hearing her voice again, he would feel extremely heartbroken.
When I returned to the clock, Zhu Changyu and Qi Yao had just finished their performance.
In the backstage dressing room, Fu Xingchuan leaned on the sofa, his head supported by his hands, looking worried.
He accidentally noticed an orange standing on the coffee table in front of him, like the only bright color in the black and white world.
"Fu Xingchuan, you didn't see how much fun we had today." Zhu Changyu came in, wiping his sweat with tissues. Seeing that he was in a bad mood, he asked, "Is everything okay at home?"
"Yeah." He responded lightly.
"Brother Yao, so this is what your dressing room looks like!" A glamorous woman with heavy makeup and revealing clothes came in, looked around the dressing room, and finally her eyes fell on Fu Xingchuan, "You are so handsome!"
Fu Xingchuan ignored her. Qi Yao came in, grabbed the woman's waist and pulled her into his arms, kissing her. "Why are you running around?"
The woman snuggled in Qi Yao's arms and said coquettishly: "Hate it, my brothers are still here!"
"Let's go." Qi Yao glanced at the two of them and carried the woman out.
Fu Xingchuan was still worried about Zhu Sui'an, staring at the orange with empty eyes.
Zhu Changyu knew that Qi Yao was a playboy, but he didn't expect him to be so adept with women.
He was just an innocent high school boy. Seeing this scene, he looked around awkwardly and said, "I'm starving. Is there anything to eat? Hey, here's an orange."
Zhu Changyu picked up the orange, peeled it and threw it into his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, he stopped and said, "Pah, pah, pah, what kind of orange is this? It's so sour."
His face was wrinkled, looking a little funny. Fu Xingchuan looked at him and inexplicably thought of the girl who gave him oranges. Her eyes were red, so familiar.
He thought carefully and remembered that she was also the girl who cried in front of him for no apparent reason.
It seemed like I hadn't seen her for a month! She had bangs, and Fu Xingchuan didn't recognize her at first.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhu Changyu turned his head and saw Fu Xingchuan's eyebrows relaxed, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips. "I was poisoned by oranges, and you watched me die without helping me?"
"What's the name of the person who poisoned you?" he asked.
Was he asking about the orange delivery? Zhu Changyu realized what was happening and replied, "Lin Qiao."
"Okay, I'll help you settle the score with her." Fu Xingchuan said as he was about to leave.
Zhu Changyu hadn't recovered yet, his mouth was very sour, he stuck out his tongue and said, "No, why are you looking for her? Find me a bottle of water first."

At six o'clock on Monday morning, Lin Luo woke up and found the door of her room open. Tang Muchen was sitting in the corner of the bed, staring at her, which scared her.
Du Yunyan heard the noise and walked to her room. She put her finger in front of her mouth and shushed, "What are you yelling about? Your Uncle Tang is still sleeping!"
"Why is he here?" Lin Luo asked in a low voice.
"This is my home, why can't I be here?" Tang Muchen supported his waist with his two little hands and answered her in a childish voice.
"Who told you not to close the door properly?" Du Yunyan said and turned to leave.
Lin Luo sighed deeply, got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. Her brows were furrowed all the time, and only relaxed after washing her face.
Tang Muchen was usually very boisterous even when playing by himself, but today he was unusually quiet. Lin Luo sensed something was wrong and returned to the room, only to discover that Tang Muchen had climbed onto the desk and torn up her midterm math test.
He was already in a bad mood early in the morning. Lin Luo snatched the pieces of paper from his hand with a cold face. Tang Muchen pouted and burst into tears immediately.
The crying attracted Du Yunyan again and woke up Tang Heng. They both went to the door. Du Yunyan asked angrily, "What are you doing? Why is he crying?"
"He tore up my midterm exam paper." Lin Luo held up the fragments of evidence in her hand to show her.
"Just because you scored that point, I was going to tear it up for you. Besides, if he tears it up, it will be your fault for not keeping your things properly." Du Yunyan took the shredded paper from her hand and took a look at it. "I'll find some tape to stick it together for you."
Lin Luo's heart ached inexplicably when she heard her words, "No need."
Du Yunyan didn't insist and threw the shredded paper into the trash can. She picked up Tang Muchen and tried to comfort him. When she turned around, she saw Tang Heng standing behind her. She changed her voice to a gentle one: "It's nothing. I'm sorry for waking you up. Go get some more sleep!"
"Um."
Perhaps if this morning really was bad, the whole day would be bad. Lin Luo waited at the platform for twenty minutes, but the No. 23 bus never showed up. Passersby said there seemed to be a car accident somewhere.
It was not easy to get a taxi during the morning rush hour, so she ran all the way to school, but was still five minutes late and was caught by the dean.
A row of latecomers stood in the lobby on the first floor of the teaching building, all with panda eyes. Zhu Changyu, who was at the end of the line, saw Lin Luo and forced his eyes open wide. "Good morning."
Seeing his lifeless look, the Dean asked, "Zhu Changyu, how many times have you been late this week? Is it so hard to get up in the morning? How about I give you two days off so you can get enough sleep at home before coming back?"
"Is it okay?" His eyes lit up and the dean rolled his eyes at him.
"What did you say, 'No'?" He muttered softly, with a smile on his face. Lin Qiao beside him couldn't laugh.
The dean of studies kept on scolding them for twenty minutes without stopping. Fortunately, when he was swallowing his saliva, another teacher came to talk to him and his ears were finally quiet. But maybe because he ran too long, Lin Xi's head still hurt.
"Director, the math competition results are out."
"The first one is us, Ruan Ye!"
"No, it's Fu Xingchuan."
"How is that possible?" The director took the phone from the female teacher, took off his glasses and looked closely at the screen. Judging from his incredulous expression, it must be true.
The late boys from other classes nearby were no longer sleepy after hearing this news. "Oh my god, that scoundrel Fu Xingchuan actually beat Master Ruan."
“He cheated.”
"How can you cheat in this kind of competition? Is it so difficult to admit that others are better?" Zhu Changyu retorted to them.
Those people fell silent. Lin Luo stood there silently, her breathing unstable. Zhu Changyu's soft muttering to himself, "Now a lot of girls will hand him love letters again," sounded particularly loud in her ears.
The bell for the end of morning reading rang, and the head teacher didn't seem to be in the mood to scold them anymore, so he let them go back to class.
When she arrived at the class, a large group of people gathered at the back of the classroom. Lin Luo poked her head out and saw a piece of red paper. She knew that the results were out, but she didn't have the courage to look at it. She lowered her eyes again and walked through the narrow space behind the crowd.
"Oh my god, Fu Xingchuan transferred to our class and even took away the first place from Master Ruan."
"Is it possible for a human being to get a score of 135 in Chinese?"
Lin Luo stopped and stood on tiptoe to look at the top of the paper. The first one was indeed Fu Xingchuan.
Class started and people dispersed and returned to their seats. Lin Luo remained there. She moved her eyes from top to bottom, her heart becoming more and more panicked. Finally, she still saw her name at the bottom.
She was ranked second to last this time, 777th in the school and 63rd in mathematics.
But technically, she was still the worst student in the class, because the second-to-last student was a new student named Zhu Sui'an. The name was familiar; Lin Luo felt like she had heard it somewhere before. She probably didn't take the exam, so her score was zero.
Fu Xingchuan transferred to their class. She didn't know whether to be surprised or sad, and she stood there in a daze.
"Two new students have transferred to our class." Cheng Kaizhong's voice sounded from the front of the classroom.
Lin Luo turned 180 degrees stiffly and saw Fu Xingchuan and Zhu Sui'an coming in from the front door.
"Please introduce yourself!"
"Hello everyone, my name is Zhu Sui'an, which means peace every year. My grades aren't very good, but I have a lively and cheerful personality and am easy to get along with. I hope to become friends with everyone."
Her voice was sweet, but Lin Luo didn't look at her. Fu Xingchuan was wearing the white school uniform of No. 1 Middle School, with his hands in his pockets, his back straight, and his collar unbuttoned.
He looked at Zhu Sui'an, and Lin Luo then remembered that Zhu Sui'an was the girl in the Mercedes-Benz, and the person that Grandpa Fu Xingchuan mentioned.
Lin Luo's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she accidentally met Cheng Kaizhong's gaze. She hurried towards her position. When she passed Ruan Ye, she found that he was smiling. A dimple on his face exposed him.
Lin Luo pinched herself immediately. It hurt. Was she dreaming? Did Ruan Ye take the wrong medicine today?
As soon as she returned to her seat, she heard, "I'm Fu Xingchuan."
Just five words caused a wave of turmoil in her heart.
After he finished speaking, Zhu Changyu led a cheer and the class broke into warm applause.
Cheng Kaizhong seemed to have known they would transfer here long ago, as he had cleared the middle seat of the second largest group in the classroom a few days in advance. "You two sit there."
"Okay." Zhu Sui'an answered sweetly. Fu Xingchuan glanced at the place he pointed to without any expression, and seemed to accept it.
But he didn't stop when he reached the third row. He walked all the way to the back of the classroom and headed towards the third group.
"He looks even more handsome up close." Xu Yangyang leaned over and whispered to Lin Luo. She didn't say anything, as she felt her heart beating faster and faster.
All the students turned around to look. Lin Luo lowered her head and leaned slightly to the side. She saw out of the corner of her eye that Fu Xingchuan was walking up behind her with a stool.
"I'll sit here." Fu Xingchuan said to Cheng Kaizhong.
Cheng Kaizhong was unusually attentive today. "That's fine. Ruan Ye, please take good care of the new student."
After that, Cheng Kaizhong started teaching the midterm math test. As usual, he first talked about the results of the test.
"Our class as a whole has improved compared to the last monthly exam, but some students are still lagging behind. The math paper was so easy, yet five students in our class still failed."
Lin Xi listened with bated breath. She was afraid that Cheng Kaizhong would make her stand outside as punishment again. Fu Xingchuan was right behind her, and that would give him a very bad impression!
Fortunately, Cheng Kaizhong did not mention this matter, and Lin Luo escaped. She did not have the test paper, and she shared one with Xu Yangyang.
When she got close to Xu Yangyang, she glanced back and saw that Fu Xingchuan had no table and was blatantly reading a book in his hand.
The book covered his face, so Lin Luo couldn't see it. She looked at Xu Yangyang's test paper, on which there was a prominent 120 written in red. Xu Yangyang said she was lucky this time, as she had never scored so high in math before.
But in fact, luck is also a kind of strength. Lin Luo's strength is not good, and her luck is not good either. She can guess wrong on two out of three questions.
Therefore, strength is the most important thing. Otherwise, even if you are extremely lucky and sit in the front and back rows with Fu Xingchuan, it still feels like the farthest distance between them.
