During lunch, Chen Ziyan insisted on following Qiao Chu. Qiao Chu had no choice but to take her to the cafeteria as he wanted to see what this person's intentions were.
There were a lot of people in the cafeteria, and they arrived relatively late. Each window was lined with students, and the long queues in front of some of the more popular windows even extended to the dining area. But Qiao Chu was not worried. She found an empty table and sat down under Chen Ziyan's puzzled look.
"Xiao Qiao..." Chen Ziyan wanted to go over and pull her to get food, but was stopped by Shen Ling who was beside her. She pulled Chen Ziyan to join the crowd getting food, "Hurry up, there will be no food in a while."
Qiao Chu sat leisurely watching her classmates walking around busily. After a while, she saw Fu Zhen walking towards her with two plates of food. This coolest male idol in the school has recently become her lunch worker, and he is enjoying it. Qiao Chu knew everything about her boyfriend's secret thoughts, but she didn't stop him. Firstly, there were fewer playboys around her, and secondly, Fu Zhen's jealous look was really cute. Besides, his doing this was a way of showing that he cared about her, and Qiao Chu felt very happy.
Fu Zhen gently placed the plate in front of Qiao Chu and thoughtfully placed the chopsticks in place. "Today we have your favorite fish. I made a portion for you. Come and try it and see how it tastes."
Qiao Chu took a bite of the fish as he said, then looked up at Fu Zhen and smiled sweetly, "Mm, delicious!"
Pink bubbles were floating around the two of them, and the atmosphere was sickeningly sweet. Dog food was thrown freely on the faces of the students next to them, but everyone had gotten used to it. This scene happened so frequently recently that they were almost immune to it.
"Hey, hey, hey, can you guys pay attention to the impact?"
Jia Xianxian sat down next to Qiao Chu, glanced at the two people who were showing their affection again, and said sourly. She has been having a bad time in love lately and she hates this kind of overly sweet scene the most. Every time she sees it, she will say a few sour words.
Qiao Chu looked at her plate, which was all green and without any meat. "Xianxian, why are you still eating this? You should eat some meat. Eating this all day long won't give you enough nutrition. Besides, you're already thin enough."
Jia Xianxian's weight loss results are very significant. Her appearance has changed drastically after one summer vacation. It may be the control of diet plus the impact of the breakup that caused her weight to drop sharply. On the first day of school, Qiao Chu almost didn't recognize her.
Jia Xianxian poked the rapeseed on the plate with a gloomy expression, "I don't have much appetite."
Ever since the last date of four people, Ye Kuan proposed to break up. Although she refused to agree no matter what, Ye Kuan seemed determined and ignored her no matter what. She broke up after just a few days of dating, which made her feel depressed and she didn't recover for the whole holiday.
well--
Qiao Chu sighed helplessly as she looked at Jia Xianxian's expression. She could understand her feelings, but she didn't know how to comfort her. When it comes to emotional matters, sometimes you can only figure it out on your own, and no amount of advice from others will be of any use.
"Brother Jinzhi!" Suddenly, a very sweet voice was heard, followed by a lithe figure walking towards them and sitting down next to Fu Zhen.
Chen Ziyan smiled brightly, "Brother Jinzhi, are you surprised to see me? I transferred here this morning!"
Qiao Chu and Jia Xianxian were both extremely surprised. They didn't expect that this new classmate Chen Ziyan actually knew Fu Zhen, and seemed to be very familiar with him, and even called him "Brother Jinzhi" intimately?
Qiao Chu looked at Chen Ziyan's pretty face and seemed to understand the girl's purpose - she was here to steal her boyfriend?
At this time, Shen Ling, who had finished her meal, and Jiang Yuzhou, who was abandoned by his brothers, also sat next to them with their plates, looking at Chen Ziyan and Fu Zhen with puzzled eyes. Chen Ziyan talked to Fu Zhen as if no one was around, her words were full of intimacy, and she completely ignored the presence of Qiao Chu, the real girlfriend. Jia Xianxian, Shen Ling and Jiang Yuzhou's faces darkened. The outspoken Jia Xianxian couldn't help but ask first: "Senior Fu, who is this person? Do you know him? Why does he look like an old acquaintance?"
She deliberately emphasized the word "old acquaintance", and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes when she looked at Fu Zhen.
Fu Zhen's expression was very calm from beginning to end. He ignored Chen Ziyan's attempts to get close to him, and didn't even turn around to look at her. He ate his meal seriously, occasionally putting dishes he thought were delicious on Qiao Chu's plate to enjoy together. He finally raised his head after hearing Jia Xianxian's sarcastic words. However, he didn't look at Jia Xianxian who asked the question, but fixed his eyes on Qiao Chu's face and said in a light tone: "She's the child of my father's friend, Chen Ziang's sister. I don't know her well."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Ziyan's bright smile froze on her face. She looked at Fu Zhen's perfect profile in disbelief, and her tone was very hurt. "Brother Jinzhi, how can you say that? We grew up together, childhood sweethearts, and have been together for so many years. How can you say we are not familiar with each other?"
Before Fu Zhen and Qiao Chu could say anything, Jia Xianxian started to attack. She said unhappily, "Hey, new classmate, isn't this a good thing? What do you mean by saying such ambiguous words in front of someone's girlfriend? Are you trying to poach her?"
"No, you misunderstood, I didn't..." Chen Ziyan shook her head gently and denied it. She bit her bright red lips with her snow-white teeth. She looked at Fu Zhen for help with an aggrieved look on her face. "I'm just so happy to see Brother Jinzhi, I..."
No matter how charming her posture was, no matter how pitiful her tone was, Fu Zhen remained unmoved. He completely ignored her the whole time and only focused his attention on Qiao Chu. He didn't even bother to glance at anyone else.
Seeing that Fu Zhen ignored her, Chen Ziyan turned her gaze to Qiao Chu. She said to Qiao Chu timidly, "Xiao Qiao, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, please don't misunderstand..."
Qiao Chu shook her head indifferently. She didn't expect that Chen Ziyan was actually Chen Ziang's sister. After a closer look, she found that their facial features were indeed somewhat similar. It seemed that this girl came for Fu Zhen. The intimacy in her words just now was nothing more than an attempt to make her misunderstand her relationship with Fu Zhen. Then she would inevitably feel uncomfortable in her heart. If she was a jealous person, it was not impossible for her to go and quarrel with Fu Zhen. This girl was really scheming. If Qiao Chu had not lived two lives, she might have fallen into her trap.
Unfortunately, Qiao Chu is an adult. In her previous life, she loved watching palace fighting dramas when she had nothing to do. She had seen all kinds of shocking methods. In her eyes, Chen Ziyan's little tricks were no different from playing house.
Moreover, Chen Ziyan is still too naive. She exposed herself at the very beginning. When Jia Xianxian scolded her for "saying ambiguous words in front of someone's girlfriend", she was not surprised at all. It was obvious that she already knew that Fu Zhen was dating her. She is Chen Ziang's sister. Qiao Chu guessed that it was Chen Ziang who told her. Not long after they started dating, she transferred here. The purpose was very obvious. What a great drama of love and indifference. However, this "flowing water" is her boyfriend, which makes Qiao Chu feel more or less uncomfortable. Fortunately, Fu Zhen's performance satisfies her.
"It's okay, let's eat."
Although Chen Ziyan obviously coveted her boyfriend, Qiao Chu still behaved magnanimously. Firstly, she didn't want to make it too embarrassing. This was a school and they were mainly here to study. There was no need to make a big fuss over emotional matters. Secondly, she also wanted to give face to Chen Ziang. She was quite familiar with Chen Ziang and he was her sister's boyfriend. As the saying goes, one should look at the Buddha's face instead of the monk's. However, the most important reason was that she wanted to see what tricks this little white lotus could come up with. It would be too boring to expose her all at once.
The meal ended with Qiao Chu and Fu Zhen showing their affection, Chen Ziyan feeling aggrieved, and others having their own thoughts. After leaving the cafeteria, Qiao Chu and Fu Zhen walked side by side towards the flower bed in the campus. This was a habit they had developed recently. They would always go there at noon every day to stay alone for a while and have a few private words. This was the only time they could be alone together in the day, and it was also the time they looked forward to the most.
Without thinking, Chen Ziyan was about to follow them, but Jia Xianxian pulled her back mercilessly. She rolled her eyes and stared at her, "I say, you are not so ignorant, are you? You want to get close to a young couple who are alone together? I tell you, it's not that easy to find a boyfriend, girls should be more reserved!"
"I... I didn't..." Chen Ziyan wanted to argue, but she couldn't think of any powerful words. Girls like her are good at playing tricks, and they are most afraid of people like Jia Xianxian who are straightforward. Such people don't fall for her tricks and always confront her head-on, leaving her speechless. She could only watch Fu Zhen and Qiao Chu's backs gradually disappearing into the distance, and she hated Jia Xianxian for meddling in her affairs.
Qiao Chu and Fu Zhen walked slowly to the edge of the flower bed. It was far away from the playground and teaching building, and there were usually not many people here, making it a good place for a date. Seeing that there was no one around, Fu Zhen reached out and held Qiao Chu's small hand, locking his eyes on her delicate face with wanton and greedy expressions. It seemed as if he could never get enough of looking at her. Even though they met every day, he missed her so much that he could not sit still every day. Tasting love for the first time, his heart was beating back and forth between sweetness and longing every day, completely losing his previous calmness and tranquility.
However, he...enjoyed it.
Qiao Chu felt uneasy when he looked at her. His eyes were too aggressive, and he showed no disguising of his possession and affection for her, which made her feel very embarrassed. If she looked at him again, he would see through her face. Qiao Chu rolled her eyes and decided to divert his attention.
She deliberately frowned and asked in a questioning tone: "Why, don't you have anything to confess honestly?"
Fu Zhen was puzzled, "What do you want to tell me?"
Qiao Chu snorted coldly: "What's the matter with that Chen Ziyan? She transferred here from Beijing? Your childhood sweetheart? Even a fool can see that she is coming for you, right?"
When he heard the name, Fu Zhen instinctively felt disgusted. He frowned and said, "Whatever she came for, it has nothing to do with me."
In order to avoid his girlfriend misunderstanding, Fu Zhen briefly introduced Chen Ziyan, including her family background and the fact that she had been pestering him since kindergarten, as well as his own disregard for her and even extreme disgust for her.
"There have been many girls around me since I was a child, but she has been the one who has persisted the longest. I think I treat her the same as other girls, but she always thinks she is special. She even takes advantage of the convenience of our two families' communication and the relationship with Chen Ziang to deliberately get close to me, which really annoys me." Fu Zhen explained to Qiao Chu. He looked at her intently and seriously, and then continued seriously: "Xiao Qiao, don't be bothered, just ignore her. If you don't like her, I will let Chen Ziang take her back so that you don't get tired of looking at her. She is a stranger to me, like a dog-skin plaster, which can't be shaken off no matter how hard you try. Ignoring her means that I think she is insignificant. However, if you mind, I can take action at any time."
Fu Zhen has never been a person who likes to explain, but he makes an exception for Qiao Chu. Their love has just begun, and he doesn't want anything to affect their relationship.
Dog-skin plaster? Qiao Chu almost laughed out loud when he heard his description.
The way she looked at Chen Ziyan just now, it was obvious that she was deeply in love with Fu Zhen, even to the point where she couldn't extricate herself. If she knew that her lover used "dog skin plaster" to describe her, she didn't know how she would feel...
Fu Zhen's tone and expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were fixed on Qiao Chu's face. He had decided that once Qiao Chu showed the slightest displeasure on his face, he would immediately contact Chen Ziang to get Chen Ziyan away, even if it meant breaking up.
Qiao Chu saw the nervousness in his eyes and smiled at him. A sweet feeling surged in her heart. This boy was usually cold and indifferent, but he cared about her very much. She shook her head and said indifferently: "It's okay, she's not doing anything now, there's no need to let her go back. And... I believe you."
After she finished speaking, she put her arms around his thin waist and buried her face in his chest. This was the first time she took the initiative to throw herself into his arms. Fu Zhen was shocked, then hugged her tightly. Feeling the delicate touch in his arms, the happiness in his heart was indescribable.
After that, neither of them spoke any more. They just hugged each other quietly, their hearts filled with sweetness and satisfaction...
