Chapter 374 Extra: My name is Chu Zihan (Part 9)

The rain washed away the drought in the city for many days. The air today is exceptionally fresh, but for some people, this kind of day will always remain the same. They can’t tell any difference from the rain the day before yesterday, such as the hard-working office workers and the students who commute between two points.

The teacher in the classroom was talking about the great feat of the Parisian people in capturing the Bastille. When he was moved, he was so eloquent that it made people feel as if he was in France that year, eating and sleeping with the Parisian people at that time, and witnessed and participated in that historic uprising.

Considering that his arms could reach down to his knees just like the description of Liu Bei in history books, Lu Mingfei felt that the teacher's weapon might have been a farmer's steel fork.

Lu Mingfei's grades have always been average, but everyone has their own strengths, and this class might be one of the few that he can fully understand without taking it too seriously.

As a poor guy whose only hobby is playing games, he can actually be said to have seen a lot. Although he has never been anywhere, he knows about the gold rush era in the Wild West, the world disputes in Japan's Warring States Period, and even the history of the Gauls who like to wave the white flag far away in Europe.

So this history class was boring for him. No matter how hard the teacher tried to arouse the students' interest, it was not as exciting as jumping off the top of Notre Dame in the game.

What's more... he was even more absent-minded at the moment, filled with thoughts of another person.

It sounds a bit sentimental to say this, and it's unlike him, but any loser who has experienced the same night as him would surely have his mind filled with that girl's face. Her every frown, smile, and gesture would be like engraved in his brain. Without having to see her, he could imagine how she would react at that moment.

Falling in love for the first time, these four simple words can summarize Lu Mingfei's current state.

There was nothing he could do about it, because he had been single all his life. Thinking about the scene of hugging Chu Zihan the night before yesterday, he felt a little flattered. It was the first time in his life that he had such close contact with a goddess-level girl, and she took the initiative to ask him to hug her. Now just thinking about the feeling of that time seemed to be jumping back and forth on his fingertips. No matter how smooth her skin was, it was not as real as a hug.

During the process, the two of them tried several times to achieve better results. Finally, Chu Zihan simply rested his head on his shoulder and let Lu Mingfei pretend to kiss his forehead. Then they used the camera in Chu Zihan's bag to take such a perfect photo. Anyone who saw it would think that it was a couple showing their love afterwards, but in fact they were just lying together at the time, with nothing below the neck exposed.

Lu Mingfei's mind was filled with Chu Zihan throughout the entire class, and he only came to his senses when the bell rang. It seemed as if he was still watching the teacher just walk into the classroom. The forty-five minutes passed in a flash.

It is now after the second class. We have half an hour to do those eye exercises as usual. To be honest, Lu Mingfei has always been skeptical about the use of these eye exercises. He feels that their biggest benefit is to take a nap.

But today he was extremely alert, because this was the time for the student union of Shilan Middle School to have activities. The members of the student union did not have to do exercises, and they were responsible for inspecting and scoring the eye exercises and morning exercises. At any time and any place, when the white clothes appeared in the classroom with the scoreboard, everyone had to act like a serious and obedient child. Otherwise, if they were deducted points, they would inevitably be yelled at by the head teacher at the end of their voices in the evening.

Lu Mingfei scratched his eye sockets. This was the best section for peeping, because his fingers would block his sight, and he could take the opportunity to squint through the gap. He kept his eyes fixed on the classroom door, expecting someone to appear from there.

Although everyone had reached an agreement yesterday that the next step was to pretend to be a couple, Lu Mingfei had no idea what to do next. He had never been in love before, so the best he could do was imitate TV dramas and learn how pigs run away. Chu Zihan had never been in love before either, but the reason on her side was that no one was worthy of her, not that no one liked her.

Both of them were still fledglings in the love race. Lu Mingfei was very curious about how Chu Zihan would perform. What if the aloof senior sister could talk very logically but acted clumsily and cutely? For example, would she bring a lunch box to the classroom at noon and put it on her desk, saying, "I made this specially for you." When she opened it, she found a red heart drawn with strawberry jam? This kind of plot was copied from Japanese comics, and she couldn't accept it herself, let alone in the eyes of others.

Chu Zihan arrived as promised, walking hurriedly with the scoreboard in her arms. She was the most diligent and serious one in the student union. When keeping score, there were many classes to run around and each person was responsible for an area, so she only stayed in each class for a dozen seconds and had to leave after one round.

Here it comes! Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly closed his eyes and massaged his temples, acting like a model student. The same was true for the other students in the class, but as long as Chu Zihan walked behind them, most people would open their eyes, and inevitably turn their heads to take a look at the rising and falling skirt and slender legs.

It didn't matter that they took a look. They immediately discovered that in addition to the scoreboard, there was also a small box in Chu Zihan's arms, which was specially tied with a rose-red ribbon.

Chu Zihan, as always, carefully observed the serious attitude of each row of students. In her eyes, all those who were in front of her were serious and honest, while those who were behind her were all staring at her with curiosity.

When passing by Lu Mingfei's seat, Chu Zihan pressed the box on Lu Mingfei's desk and pushed it towards him. Then, without stopping at all, she left in a hurry just like she came. She walked around the classroom, filled in the number in the blank on the scoreboard and left.

Lu Mingfei kept his eyes closed the whole time. He only felt as if something was placed in front of him. In order to avoid losing points for the class, he could only endure not looking at it. Chu Zihan was absolutely impartial and would not show mercy to him just because they were playing a couple. It was not until he heard Chu Zihan's footsteps gradually going away outside the wall that Lu Mingfei slyly opened his eyes to make sure the surroundings were safe, and then looked at the box in front of him.

It was pure white, with no markings on the outside, except for a ribbon tied into a bow to indicate that it was a gift, making it impossible to guess what was inside. There was also a note clipped to the ribbon, with "to Lu Mingfei, hope you like it" written on it in beautiful small font, as if for fear that others wouldn't see it, followed by a hand-painted heart.

Oh my god, senior sister, this is too much like an idol drama! It's similar to the birthday gift that the heroine gives to the boss, but I have to say it's really good! This kind of packaging box will make anyone curious. The group of wolf cubs around her who are already watching her are the best proof. There are boys and girls among them. Everyone is curious, wondering why Chu Zihan would give Lu Mingfei something.

Lin Nian, who sat next to me, leaned over to take a look at the label on the box, his eyes almost popped out of his head: "Holy crap! You're really good!"

"What what what? Let me see!" Su Xiaoqiang, who was sitting in the back seat, got excited when he heard it. He leaned out and snatched the box. He held it high up as if to announce it to the whole world. He slowly read the words on the note, "To Lu Mingfei, I hope you like it. There's also a love heart! Oh my God!"

The whole class was in an uproar. Everyone had their own guesses about Chu Zihan's gift. Maybe this bad boy had helped Chu Zihan at some point, so Chu Zihan specially expressed his gratitude.

It's not like there haven't been similar things before. The school once had a basketball game with another school. Chu Zihan was the person in charge and also the cheerleader. During the game, the other school students just shouted and cheered at the top of their lungs. But it was different for Shilan Middle School. All of them were girls in gymnastics uniforms and high ponytails. When the match was over, they danced and cheered, which directly boosted the blood of the Shilan Middle School players. After the game, Chu Zihan treated each player to a meal and gave them small commemorative gifts.

But what about that heart? Does a gift of thanks need a heart? No matter how cool Chu Zihan is, he would know what a hand-painted heart means! Looking back at the ribbon on the gift box, it’s rose red. Why is the color so suspicious?

"It's not for you, why are you so excited?"

Lu Mingfei jumped up and took the box back. He enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention. However, they had agreed to play a couple, so he couldn't act too happy. Instead, he looked indifferent and rudely tore the ribbon to open the box in front of the whole class. This was more in line with his character.

A mobile phone was lying quietly in the box, with the label Samsung on the base, which is the Korean Samsung. The most popular brand nowadays is the domestic Nokia. Foreign products like this are relatively rare, and what is even rarer is that there is no keyboard on the surface of this phone. As a country bumpkin, Lu Mingfei has never even seen this kind of phone, and thought to himself, how can you use a phone without buttons?

"It's a smart phone." Su Xiaoqiang leaned over and said.

"Smartphone?" Lu Mingfei was curious.

"It's a full touch screen phone, but some are also equipped with a non-touch keyboard, some are hidden on the side and some are on the back. It is said that this is the direction of future mobile phone development, and all future mobile phones will be like this, but now the expandability and cost of this type of phone are too high, so only a few people will use it. My dad has one, but he said he can't use it, and he still prefers the full keyboard one."

Lu Mingfei picked up the phone. Sure enough, it was as heavy as a brick and much thicker than an ordinary phone. On the back was an extended keyboard that could slide down. The touch screen could light up the keyboard and also be used for operation. After long pressing to start, the screen saver of the phone appeared, a familiar picture. Although the picture clarity was reduced due to the problem of low pixel of the phone, it was still easy to recognize the two people in the photo. The girl was resting her head in the boy's arms, and the boy was kissing her forehead affectionately.

"What did I see!" Su Xiaoqiang was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and immediately wanted to grab the phone again.

But this time Lu Mingfei was prepared and dodged her dragon claw. Unexpectedly, his deskmate was not a good guy either. At this time, he chose to be Su Xiaoqiang's dog, attacked from the side, snatched the phone and gave it to Su Xiaoqiang with a smile. Su Xiaoqiang stared at the screen saver with wide eyes, and three seconds later he chose to stand on the chair and hold up the phone, showing the screen saver to everyone.

"Look what this is? An intimate photo of Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihan in bed? Lu Mingfei, you can do it!" She laughed as if she was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. "What is your relationship with Chu Zihan? How could you let her take such a photo with you? Did you catch her with some handle and threaten her?"

"Am I that kind of shameless and despicable person?" Lu Mingfei felt that he was looked down upon.

"You can be!"

"That might disappoint you."

Lu Mingfei straightened the collar of his school uniform, stood up calmly, took the phone from Su Xiaoqiang and put it in his pocket, frowning and saying, "I told her a long time ago that I didn't want to expose this kind of relationship, but I didn't expect that she was still so happy and couldn't help herself. Little girls are like this. After finally catching up with the man they like, they can't wait to announce their love to the whole world. Next time, I really have to talk to her about what it means to be low-key."

At this moment, he was like a domineering boss in a romance story, with impatience written all over his face, as if he did not want his relationship with Chu Zihan to be exposed, as it would attract countless paparazzi to bid for him, and the front pages of news all over the world would be about Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihan being in love and having sex.

The whole class was dumbfounded. Did they hear it right? What was going on with that impatient tone? It sounded like Chu Zihan was still pursuing Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei was still not happy? What kind of Arabian Nights was this? The goddess of Shilan Middle School was pursuing a loser, and she had to use all kinds of efforts to get him? I've only heard of a toad wanting to eat swan meat, but I've never heard of a swan meat wanting to eat a toad!

With Lu Mingze's exaggeration, at least half of the people in Shilan Middle School knew about Lu Mingfei's legendary experience. He was abandoned by his parents and fostered in his uncle's house. He was greedy and had average grades. The only good thing about him was that he played StarCraft. He often ate and drank in the Internet cafe in the name of playing teaching games. If you want to summon him, you only need to say that I will pay for the Internet and a bottle of Nutri-Express, and this guy will definitely come from a thousand miles away just by smelling the smell.

Such a person is just a weed on the roadside in Shilan Middle School, which is full of powerful people. Anyone can step on him intentionally or unintentionally.

In comparison, Chu Zihan is different. It is difficult to conquer so many people with beauty alone. But if a girl has everything from beauty to family background and talent, and lives like the heroine in Mary Sue novels, then she has no reason to be unpopular. Ten thousand Lu Mingfeis tied together are not as good as a girl of this level. What virtue does Lu Mingfei have to make Chu Zihan pursue him?
