Chapter 60 What's there to be afraid of? I'm not here.
Before even entering the room, Zhou Yanchuan saw the girl huddled in a corner, her head bowed, her body tense, her entire being radiating confusion and unease.
All of this happened so suddenly that she clearly didn't know what to do.
His lips tightened as he tried to control his temper, lest he frighten her any further.
"You and the class—"
Before Chen Yu could finish speaking, the person next to him walked straight into the classroom with a blank expression.
Upon seeing Zhou Yanchuan enter, the group of people dared not even breathe, their eyes fixed on him.
I was afraid of missing even the slightest reaction from him.
The rumors were so outrageous that at this point, they were still in a state of doubt.
Is there a relationship between Zhou Yanchuan and Wen Jiu?
No one could imagine what kind of relationship these two people with no connection could have, nor could they imagine how someone as cold as Zhou Yanchuan could get along with such a gentle and obedient girl.
Until Zhou Yanchuan stepped down from the podium and walked directly into the aisle next to Wen Jiu, where he stopped.
The atmosphere in the corridor instantly became restless.
The students in the classroom were all staring intently.
Then--
Holy crap!
Chen Yu's eyes widened.
The people around him were the same.
They never imagined they would see such a scene one day, with Zhou Yanchuan half-squatting next to a girl.
She's still that girl who rarely talks to anyone at school.
The surroundings fell silent instantly.
"You cried?"
The first words Zhou Yanchuan spoke.
The small mirror Ning Yixue was holding fell onto her lap with a thud.
"No," came a soft voice.
"Why are you looking down if you're not crying?"
Wen Jiu didn't speak, but simply raised her head, as if trying to prove with her actions that she wasn't crying.
Their eyes met, her almond-shaped eyes were moist, and she seemed to feel helpless along with other emotions.
Zhou Yanchuan's Adam's apple bobbed, his eyes filled with concern. "How about I take you out for a while?"
"Um."
He reached out and grasped her wrist, then stood up from the ground.
At that moment, the classroom was completely silent, and the students stared blankly at the hand that was tightly gripping the girl's wrist.
Zhou Yanchuan remained unchanged, his face expressionless, as if he didn't care at all what these people thought.
Wen Jiu didn't look at them, and quietly let the person beside her lead her out.
The crowd spontaneously made way.
It wasn't until the two people completely disappeared around the corner of the corridor that the others realized they could speak.
At this moment, only two words echoed in my mind: "Holy shit!"
After the extreme silence came uncontrollable chaos; everyone in the classroom and hallway went crazy.
"You just took it like that?"
"I feel like I'm dreaming."
"Did you hear that just now? Zhou Yanchuan's tone!"
...
*
In the corner.
Zhou Yanchuan looked down at the person in front of him, "What should we do? Someone can't hide it anymore."
Wen Jiu kicked the tip of his shoe.
Zhou Yanchuan tugged at the corners of his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes; he could tell the girl was afraid.
As for what he was afraid of, he hadn't figured it out yet.
But he still said, "What are you afraid of? I'm not here."
Wen Jiu's heart softened.
She wasn't afraid, she was worried—worried that he would be subjected to some negative looks because of her.
However, she didn't say anything, but obediently hummed in agreement.

The affair between Zhou Yanchuan and Wen Jiu has become a hot topic of discussion.
However, the most shocked were the group from Class 9, especially Chen Yu, Wu Feng, and Ning Yixue.
I watched as the two of them gossiped for an entire class period, speculating on all sorts of possibilities.
Finally, Su Shun couldn't stand it anymore and told them the truth.
"Do you remember when Brother Chuan was making a phone call to a girl in the dorm during military training?"
"I remember," they both said in unison, still not realizing something was amiss.
Su Shun really didn't want to talk to these two people; she felt that if she talked too much, she would become like them too.
Seeing his silence, Wu Feng urged, "Say something."
"..."
At that moment, Chen Yu had a sudden realization and tentatively asked, "Could it be the class monitor on the phone?"
"I finally understand."
"Damn," Chen Yu said, finding it hard to believe even to himself.
He immediately blurted out, "What a complete bastard."
He had barely finished speaking when a voice rang out from behind him: "Who are you cursing?"
"What? Who insulted you? I'm going to beat him to death."
Zhou Yanchuan kicked his chair and laughed as he cursed, "Get lost."
Chen Yu looked ahead and, seeing no one in his seat, turned to ask, "Where's the class monitor?"
"I'm going to a meeting."
"You two really talked?"
The students in Class One had been secretly glancing at Zhou Yanchuan ever since he returned, and now that they heard Chen Yu ask, they perked up their ears, afraid of missing anything.
Zhou Yanchuan has never liked to explain anything, just like with every previous rumor.
Gossips only listen to what they want to hear; they don't care at all about the truth.
Since they don't care, he doesn't need to care about their opinions either.
But this time is different.
I can't let Wen Jiu be involved in something so unclear with me.
“We didn’t talk about it,” he said casually.
"What's the story with that scarf?"
"She knitted it for someone else."
"How did it get to your neck?"
Zhou Yanchuan remained calm and slowly said, "I stole it."

Having heard countless rumors about Zhou Yanchuan and various girls, the commotion caused by Wen Jiu this time was the biggest.
Almost the entire school was talking about it. When Wen Jiu returned to the classroom during the day, everyone was quiet and reserved, as if nothing had happened.
But as soon as I got home that night, my phone started vibrating incessantly.
People who usually don't talk to her are now sending her messages. Most of them are asking about her and Zhou Yanchuan's situation.
Ning Yixue was the most excited.
Xiaoxue: "Baby, what's going on between you and Zhou Yanchuan?!"
Xiaoxue: "Are you two really dating?"
Xiaoxue: "You actually kept such a big thing from me! Does Lin Mengmeng know too?! You actually told her you wouldn't tell me! I'm really getting angry!"
Wen Jiu glanced at the screen and saw it was full of exclamation marks with exaggerated emphasis. She pursed her lips slightly and began typing an explanation to the girl.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you..."
As soon as Wen Jiu sent her explanation, Lin Meng's message followed immediately.
"Hey deskmate, you two really aren't dating? Do you know how sweet it was when Zhou Yanchuan pulled you away today?"
"The school's confession wall is going crazy, it's all about you two."
The girl then sent her several screenshots.
Wen Jiu raised her hand and tapped the screen.
"Did you guys go check it out today? Oh my god! They just took it home!"
"Zhou Yanchuan has had so many relationships, but honestly, this is the first time I've ever seen him take the initiative to hold a girl's hand!"
"Kneeling on one knee beside Wen Jiu's legs, does anyone understand this?"
"I get it, I get it, this is killing me!"
...
After quietly reading the screenshots the girl sent, Wen Jiu went to the school's confession wall on her own.
"Are they really together? I feel like they're such a mismatch."
"Actually, it wouldn't be a big deal if they really got together. It's normal for Zhou Yanchuan to date. It's just that the person he's dating this time is a bit unexpected. But I feel like they'll definitely break up soon."
"I think so too, maybe it's just about changing things up."
"Wen Jiu has such a soft personality, she definitely can't handle Zhou Yanchuan. Even if they date, breaking up is just a matter of time."
...
Looking at the comments on the screen, there were none of the remarks she had expected, and Wen Jiu's heart, which had been pounding, eased a little.
only.
Her gaze fell on the latest message.
"Wen Jiu has such a soft personality, she definitely can't handle Zhou Yanchuan. Even if they date, breaking up is just a matter of time."
