When Qiao Chu was able to use her right hand again, it was just in time for the midterm exam, which made her feel relieved. Fortunately, she didn't have to use her left hand to write a thousand-word essay, otherwise her left hand would have cramped.
Liu Qing held Qiao Chu's report card with a satisfied look on her face. "Well, Qiao Chu, your grades are very good this time. Although you are not ranked in the grade in the midterm, I calculated it for you privately. Your grades are still the first in the grade, more than 30 points higher than the second place. It seems that the injury to your right hand did not cause your grades to drop. The teacher has seen your efforts. Well done, the teacher hopes you can keep it up."
"Okay, Mr. Liu, I will."
After hearing her assurance, Liu Qing smiled and said, "Okay, go back to your morning self-study class first."
When facing Qiao Chu, Liu Qing always had a smile on her face. A smile of happiness, a smile of satisfaction, a smile of appreciation, one after another. She didn't smile so much even at home. This was the treatment of being a good student.
"Okay, thank you, teacher."
Qiao Chu thanked the teacher and stood up and left the teacher's office.
"By the way, Ling Ling Yi, why didn't the system give me any tasks for this midterm exam? Didn't the system give me tasks last time? And it even gave me IQ and time amplifiers as rewards."
Only then did Qiao Chu remember that the system seemed to have no tasks. She did so well in the exam this time, so was there no reward?
"Master, I've said before that the system's tasks are automatically triggered based on the current situation. I can't decide. I guess it's because your level has improved now, so the system won't issue you too simple tasks. The tasks will change with the master's strength. With your current strength, it's too easy to get first place in the midterm exam. There's no point in issuing such tasks."
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Qiao Chu was a little disappointed. Isn't this system too smart? There is really no loophole for people to exploit.
"Besides, you got full marks in all five subjects this time, so you already got a 5-point bonus, right? Don't be too greedy."
"All right."
As the scores increased and the values got higher, Qiao Chu became more and more greedy, and even 5 points seemed too little...
no! She can't be so ambitious, she needs to be down-to-earth and take one step at a time. No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat, and slowly accumulated it will become a considerable fortune, so she can't miss a single cent!
Qiao Chu was teaching himself a lesson in his mind while walking towards the classroom. Suddenly, a shout came from behind him -
"Qiao Chu, wait a minute!"
The voice sounded familiar. Qiao Chu was startled and froze in place.
The person behind her quickened his pace and soon came in front of her. As expected, it was the lingering Lu Chao.
Lu Chao stood in front of Qiao Chu, looking at her with a smile on his face, and said excitedly: "Qiao Chu, I finally meet you. I have always wanted to apologize to you alone, but I have never found a chance. Every time there are outsiders present, and..."
As soon as he saw this face, Qiao Chu felt a dull pain in his right hand...
Why is it him again! What does this guy want to do? Her right hand just healed!
She took two steps back suddenly, putting a large distance between herself and Lu Chao, and shook her head repeatedly, quickly replying: "No, no, really no, you don't need to apologize!"
For her, the best apology was for this person to stay away from her and not bother her anymore.
Seeing her resistance, Lu Chao obviously misunderstood him, so he quickly explained: "Qiao Chu, listen to me, I really didn't mean it last time, I just lost my temper, I didn't expect to really hurt you, I feel guilty, these days I have been thinking..."
He spoke very quickly and in a very urgent mood. He couldn't help but take a few steps forward, wanting to explain things to Qiao Chu at a closer distance.
How could Qiao Chu listen to all this now? Seeing him getting closer and closer, she looked around. At this time, everyone was in the classroom for morning self-study, and she couldn't find anyone at all. She couldn't help feeling a little scared.
What on earth does this person want to do?
Qiao Chu had no choice but to leave for his own safety.
"Sorry, I have something else to do. Let's talk next time!"
"Qiao Chu, wait a minute!"
next time? When will the next time be? Lu Chao has been extremely anxious and restless recently, and there has not been a single day when he can calm down. His last behavior not only hurt the girl he liked, but also made her avoid him as much as possible. He has always wanted to explain it to Qiao Chu, at least to make her stop hating him so much.
But so much time has passed, and he still can't find an opportunity. There are always many people around Qiao Chu, especially Jia Xianxian. The two of them are almost inseparable. Jia Xianxian is very resistant to him and is always on guard to prevent him from getting close to Qiao Chu.
Qiao Chu is finally alone today. There won’t be a better opportunity than this!
Lu Chao couldn't wait any longer, he had to explain it clearly immediately and couldn't let the goddess misunderstand him forever!
Seeing Qiao Chu was about to leave, he reached out and grabbed her in a hurry, trying to stop her from leaving.
"ah--"
As luck would have it, Lu Chao was holding Qiao Chu's right arm. When the strange touch came into contact with her skin, Qiao Chu immediately got goose bumps. Bad memories instantly came back to her mind. The heart-wrenching pain seemed to have happened just yesterday, and the culprit had come to harm her fragile arms again.
"Ah - let go, let go quickly! What on earth do you want to do! "
Qiao Chu tried hard to pull her hand back, but as a girl, she was no match for the tall and strong boy. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull her hand back. She was so scared that cold sweat began to appear on her back and her body even trembled slightly.
"Ah - let me go, please let go..."
Lu Chao didn't expect her to react so strongly and was stunned for a moment.
Qiao Chu still didn't give up and continued to pull back, but the excessive force made her right hand, which had just recovered, feel unbearable pain.
Feeling scared and aggrieved, with pain in his right hand, Qiao Chu's eyes turned red, his emotions gradually got out of control, and he finally burst into tears.
“Woo-woo-woo—”
Seeing her crying, Lu Chao became even more nervous and flustered. His tongue seemed to be tied and he couldn't speak clearly. "Qiao... I, I really..."
"What are you doing! Let me go!"
Suddenly, a roar was heard, followed by a burst of hurried footsteps.
Jiang Yuzhou rushed in front of the two men, waved Lu Chao's hand away, and shouted angrily: "Why are you here again! Didn't I warn you last time? Stay away from Qiao Chu! Don't you understand what I'm saying!"
It’s Jiang Yuzhou and Fu Zhen!
Seeing the familiar person, Qiao Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She rubbed her red right arm and hid behind Jiang Yuzhou.
She nodded to Fu Zhen who came after her. Seeing that he was staring at her face, Qiao Chu wiped the tears from her face, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Why do you always pester Qiao Chu? Did she, a girl, provoke you?"
Facing Jiang Yuzhou's series of questions and accusations, Lu Chao was somewhat at a loss. "I, Senior Jiang, please don't misunderstand me. I just came here to apologize. I..."
Jiang Yuzhou waved his hand impatiently to interrupt him, "Apologize? What are you apologizing for? I think you are here to harass Qiao Chu in the name of apology! If you really feel sorry, you shouldn't harass her again!"
Lu Chao's face turned red, but he was still trying to refute, "Senior Jiang, I am really sincere. I just hope Qiao Chu can give me a chance to explain and not misunderstand me again..."
Before he could finish his words, his whole body suddenly left the ground and flew backwards. After landing, he rolled on the ground twice before stopping.
"ah--"
He held his chest in pain and couldn't speak.
Fu Zhen retracted his long legs, his face as cold as frost, and he said coldly: "Get lost!"
Lu Chao ignored the pain, supported himself with his hands, stood up, and walked away dejectedly.
Qiao Chu and Jiang Yuzhou stared at Fu Zhen in amazement...
Then, the most explosive, incredible and gossipy news of the year was born - Fu Zhen, the cold, taciturn, arrogant, and ascetic academic god of Haishi No. 1 Middle School who remained calm even when faced with a catastrophe, got into a fight!
In the teacher's office, Jiang Yuzhou and Fu Zhen stood in a row, waiting to be scolded.
Their head teacher is Wu Min, a middle-aged woman in her forties. She has taught many key classes and has rich teaching experience and a rigorous teaching style. She is always known for her strictness.
"Tell me, why are you fighting?"
Wu Min looked at the two students in front of him whom he was most satisfied with and felt it was ridiculous. She just heard someone say that Fu Zhen had injured someone, and she couldn't believe it. She thought it was a misunderstanding. If it meant that Wu Min had been in a fight, she would be more accepting of it.
Who is Fu Zhen? He is the student with the best academic performance in their class and the one who gives her the least worries. She has taught this student for two years and has a certain understanding of him. He is smart, steady, cool, and confident. So many labels of praise can be attached to him, but the word "fighting" has nothing to do with him.
However, the facts were before her, and even though she was shocked, she had to believe it.
"Fu Zhen, tell me why you are fighting. Why can't you just talk it out? Why do you have to fight?"
Fu Zhen remained silent. He had not spoken a word since he entered the office.
If he didn't say anything, no one could ask him. Wu Min had no choice but to turn to Jiang Yuzhou, "You were there at the time, right? Tell me why."
Jiang Yuzhou looked embarrassed, thought for a moment, and replied: "Teacher Wu, that Lu Chao is so annoying. It's really unpleasant to look at him. I want to beat him up. He really deserves a beating."
Wu Min was almost amused by him. "You want to beat someone up just because you're unhappy or because he deserves a beating? What is that? Are you trying to get rid of harm for the people? What do you think this place is? This is a school! It's a place for everyone to study! It's not a ring for you to show off your violence! You actually dared to fight, I think you..."
Jiang Yuzhou was instantly stunned. This...it would have been fine if he didn't say anything, but why did Teacher Wu get angry as soon as he opened his mouth?
He looked at Fu Zhen who had been silent beside him, and instantly felt that this guy was too wise. It would be better not to speak at this time to avoid adding fuel to the fire.
Then, Jiang Yuzhou, like Fu Zhen, shut his mouth and listened obediently to the teacher's lecture.
Half an hour later, Wu Minxun had had enough and finally stopped. She had said a lot of truths, and these two people should have realized their mistakes, right?
"Okay, write a 2,000-word self-examination and hand it in to me tomorrow. Don't make the same mistake again. Go back to class first."
"Okay, thank you, teacher!"
It's finally over! Jiang Yuzhou quickly regained his smile and pulled Fu Zhen away from the danger zone.
As soon as he walked out of the office, Jiang Yuzhou's smile disappeared immediately. He put on a serious face and said quietly, "Fu Zhen, you are not right today."
Fu Zhen paused, then continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Yuzhou took a few quick steps and followed him. "Don't play your silence trick on me. I know you too well. How could you fight? You are so reckless and impulsive. You are not the Fu Zhen I know. What happened to you today?"
Yes, what happened to him today... Fu Zhen also asked himself in his heart.
It was only today that he realized that he actually had that side of himself. For the past sixteen years, he had always believed that he could remain self-disciplined and calm no matter what the situation. Unexpectedly...
Qiao Chu's swollen arms and tearful face came into his sight, causing him to feel an unfamiliar stinging pain. He felt a surge of anger rushing to his head, and his brain went blank in an instant. He didn't have time to think before his body took action. By the time he came to his senses, Lu Chao had already flown out...
"Tell me, what happened to you today?"
Jiang Yuzhou still insisted on getting an answer, and Fu Zhen's mind was in a mess, so he had no time to deal with him. However, some people can conquer themselves. Simple-minded people with big imaginations will always find an answer that they think is reasonable.
Sure enough, Jiang Yuzhou thought for a while and suddenly realized it. He suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged Fu Zhen tightly, "Fu Zhen, you are really my good brother. For my happiness, you are willing to sacrifice yourself. I know your intentions!"
What is this person talking about? What are you crazy about again?
Fu Zhen pushed him away with force, a look of disgust on his face.
"Brother, don't be embarrassed. From today on, you are my real brother!" Jiang Yuzhou was moved and tears welled up on his face. He went forward and hugged Fu Zhen again, "Fu Zhen, I love you so much!"
"Uh... sorry to bother you..."
Qiao Chu stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
She was worried that the two of them would be embarrassed by the teacher, so she came to see them, but she didn't expect to encounter the confession of the century...
Not to mention, it was really pleasing to the eyes to see two handsome guys hugging each other. Now she somewhat understood the feelings of those fujoshis.
"Well, you guys continue, just pretend I was never here. Uh... it was too noisy just now, I didn't hear anything."
She stroked her hair, trying to hide something, "I have very Western ideas. I've heard of the saying 'I'm not gay, it's just that the person I fall in love with happens to be of the same sex', and I quite agree with it... Love doesn't matter about those things... Well, you guys take care of yourself, I'll leave first."
After saying that, she turned around and ran away quickly and hurriedly, leaving Jiang Yuzhou and Fu Zhen staring at each other in bewilderment...
"What is she saying? Why can't I understand a word of it?"
Jiang Yuzhou looked at Fu Zhen with a puzzled look and asked, "Do you understand?"
Fu Zhen pushed him away, brushed off the non-existent dust on his body, and said coldly: "It's strange that you can understand it with your brain. You don't need to understand it. Just stay away from me in the future!"
Then he turned and left, leaving him with a cool and impressive back.
