Chapter 1086: Chaotic Reflection (Lu Guixin Part 10)

Editor: Atlas Studios

As Zhou Fu took half a step forward, Lu Guixin was instantly wrapped in his overwhelmingly aggressive aura due to his tall height. He stared down at her and said slowly and lightly, "Tell me the truth. Why didn’t you come back to school last night? Did those four assholes come back to harass you right after I left?"

"What? Did you just call those people... assholes?" The corners of Lu Guixin’s eyes twitched as she wondered if she had heard correctly. Having only shown her true self to Gu Si and the others, she felt a little uncomfortable cursing in front of someone else for the first time.

"What else?" Zhou Fu curled his lips into a sneer. "You must be tired of living to get involved with those people."

Lu Guixin was at a loss for words. Putting aside the issue of whether what he said is right or not, my uncles and brothers will surely beat the hell out of him if they hear this.

Thinking that her silence was a sign of affirmation, Zhou Fu pursed his lips and clenched his jaw. His face appeared dark and increasingly hostile under the dim lights. "I should’ve taken you right to the school gate and watched you enter the school before I left."

Lu Guixin raised her head slightly and looked at his frowning face. Two seconds later, she hesitantly asked, "Are you worried about me, Senior?"

"Your point of focus is rather novel."

"You’re worried because you saw me walking into the school from outside just now and thought that I didn’t come back last night because of those people?"

Zhou Fu ignored her nonsense, but his attention was on the word ’thought.’ He narrowed his eyes skeptically. "You really returned to school last night?"

"Yeah." Lu Guixin nodded, her eyes forming crescent smiles that softened her look. "I got up early and left the school."

Zhou Fu carefully scanned her from head to toe. Her uniform was neat and tidy, and nothing about her appeared unusual other than her slightly bloodshot eyes, which might’ve been because she hadn’t slept well.

His gaze dropped to the bag of food in her hand. The bag had the logo of a franchise store at the food street that was quite a distance away from the school. He looked at her as if she was out of her mind. "Why would you go so far away to buy breakfast instead of spending the time sleeping?"

Lu Guixin ignored that irksome expression of his and maintained that sweet smile on her face. "It’s easier for girls to woo guys. Although you treat me really coldly, I plan to woo you. That was why I went to buy breakfast for you. The eatery sells decent food."

She then stretched out her beautiful and fair hand to let him select one of the breakfast options she had. "Do you like coffee or soy milk?"

Zhou Fu, however, turned around to leave since he had already confirmed with her that nothing had happened to her the night before.

"Senior." Lu Guixin hastily tugged onto his sleeve and looked at him with wet, aggrieved eyes. "What am I supposed to do with the extra food then? I bought two sets. Do I have to throw it away? That’s such a waste."

Zhou Fu glanced at her and looked straight ahead for three seconds before finally letting out an imperceptible sigh and raising his hand. "Cof—Soy milk."

"So do you want coffee or soy milk?"

"Soy milk," answered Zhou Fu curtly.

Lu Guixin thus passed the soy milk and wrap set to him.

He was about to leave after taking the food, but he suddenly stopped and said, "If your results are bad, you should stay awake in class and pay attention to the lessons."

A hint of amusement appeared in Lu Guixin’s eyes as she stared at his cold side profile. "So you like coffee? Did you choose the soy milk instead because you’re worried that I might fall asleep during lessons?"

Zhou Fu shot her a withering look. "Stop being so annoying, Lu Guixin."

"But you were the one who stopped me to ask a bunch of questions." Lu Guixin’s pitch rose toward the end. She then suddenly leaned in closer to him and said gently while staring closely at him, "You’re so concerned about me, Senior. Just admit that you’re fond of me."

"Is it wrong for me to show concern about my one million yuan?" Zhou Fu calmly asked while pushing her head away by placing a finger on her forehead. "My debtor."

As Lu Guixin watched him walk toward the academic building, her lips slowly curled up. He’s quite stubborn, huh?

...

After the slight delay, Lu Guixin quickly headed to her classroom and arrived just two minutes before the bell for the morning reading session rang.

The sky was still dark outside, while the classroom was brightly lit.

Tian Lu, who was already seated in the classroom, instantly lit up when she saw Lu Guixin walk in. She swallowed her saliva as she glanced at Lu Guixin’s hands. "Sis, I’m starving. Pass me my soy milk and spam wrap. Let me polish them up before the class starts..."

However, as soon as she said that, she noticed that Lu Guixin was only carrying one set of breakfast, and she could smell a mellow and bitter scent of coffee coming out from it. She peered at the latter’s other hand, which turned out to be empty. She looked at Lu Guixin in disbelief. "You... only bought one set of breakfast?"

As Lu Guixin placed the food on the table, she gently said, "I bought two, but I gave one set away to a stray dog on the way back because it was very fierce, and it refused to let me leave."

"Huh? A fierce dog?" Tian Lu’s mouth widened in shock as she asked worriedly, "You didn’t get bitten, did you?"

Lu Guixin’s eyes twinkled with amusement as Zhou Fu’s unapproachable face came to her mind. She placed her backpack under the table and sat down while shaking her head. "No."

"That’s good." Tian Lu heaved a sigh of relief, although her expression became sad the next moment when she recalled that her breakfast was fed to the dog. As she stared sadly at Lu Guixin’s croissant, she suddenly remembered that she had bread and a bottle of milk under her table. She thus took them out. "I guess I’ll have to make do with these."

Lu Guixin opened the seal of the coffee and then leaned closer to Tian Lu. "Let’s go eat seafood hotpot for lunch. My treat." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Tian Lu’s disappointed face instantly brightened up, and she nodded eagerly. "Okay."

Just then, the student sitting behind them poked Lu Guixin on her back. When they saw her turn around, they leaned across the table and whispered, "Lu Guixin, what’s going on with you and Zhou Fu?"

Lu Guixin raised her eyebrows. The news sure travels fast.

"What do you mean by that?" Tian Lu, whose mouth was stuffed with bread, said unintelligibly, "Didn’t Zhou Fu clarify the matter on the school forum? They have nothing to do with each other."

The other student seated behind them clicked their tongue while quickly copying another student’s homework. "To think that you’re Lu Guixin’s desk-mate. Go catch up on the latest news."

"What latest news?" Tian Lu asked in confusion.

The guy vividly narrated the incident that had happened at the school gate earlier to Tian Lu. "The blood pressure of the twelfth grade’s level head nearly shot up. As punishment, he wanted Zhou Fu to stand under the flag pole and reflect on himself later! Imagine that! It would be a first, and it’s all because of our campus belle!"

Tian Lu was confused. I’m almost always together with Lu Guixin in school. Zhou Fu and Guixin hardly ever see each other, and they’re not close. He didn’t even spare her a glance when he came to supervise the exam yesterday. Don’t tell me that I missed something? But how can that be? Zhou Fu doesn’t seem like he’d like anyone.

The students behind them wanted to ask Lu Guixin more questions, but their form teacher suddenly appeared at the doorway of the classroom just then and swept an expressionless look at them. The students immediately straightened up, lowered their heads, and loudly recited an ancient poem.

Immediately after, the entire classroom was filled with the sound of recitations.

...

The Year Three cohort.

With a hand in his pocket and a set of breakfast in his other hand, Zhou Fu slowly made his way to his classroom.

Standing in the corridor in front of a railing was a girl whose hair was up in a bun. As soon as she saw him, she walked up to him. "Zhou Fu."

Zhou Fu stopped and looked at her. "Is anything the matter?"

When Su Zeyue heard that, she lifted her head off the table and glanced at Zhou Fu, who was sitting in the back row with red eyes. It seemed that she was starting to calm down. If Zhou Fu apologizes to me in front of the entire school, I’ll let him and Lu Guixin off.
