The weather in autumn is exceptionally clear, with a few white clouds floating in the blue velvet sky, changing into different shapes. Fallen leaves are flying all over the sky, and the golden color embellishes the entire campus, rendering it into a beautiful picture.
Lin Lanzhi sat in the corner of the classroom, watching the teacher's lecture carefully, and occasionally taking a pen to silently write down the key points.
Just as she finished writing the last bit of notes, when she looked up again, a sparkling crystal hairpin suddenly appeared in front of her. She was slightly stunned, and then looked along the hand holding the crystal hairpin -
She saw a man wearing big sunglasses that covered half of his face, smiling at her with one corner of his mouth raised.
Although he deliberately disguised himself, she still recognized him as Mu Chuwei at a glance. Because the teacher of this class was the dean, most of the students were afraid of his majesty and did not dare to act recklessly in his class, so even if many people wanted to gather around him, they did not dare to act.
Lin Lanzhi clearly remembered that he didn't show up at the beginning of this class, so why did he suddenly come here? But she was no longer surprised by his elusive behavior, so she just asked calmly, "What are you doing?"
He looked at her leisurely and uttered two words elegantly: "For you." As he spoke, the corners of his lips raised a charming arc, as if tempting her not to refuse.
Lin Lanzhi was stunned.
At that moment, she thought she was having an illusion. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she asked in disbelief, " What did you say?"
"This crystal hairpin is for you."
Mu Chuwei said as he neatly pinned the hairpin on her hair, which instantly made her long black hair more beautiful. He smiled with satisfaction and commented, "Girls really need to dress up. Look, you are much prettier now."
Although Lin Lanzhi didn't know whether she was pretty or not, after hearing his words, her heart seemed to be full of flowers, so beautiful that it seemed unreal.
Since her father passed away, she has never received any gifts from anyone, not even on her birthday.
She never expected that the first gift she received in all these years would come from the person in front of her.
After calming down her inner emotions, she pretended not to care and asked, "Why did you give me something?"
"When I was working on the announcement last night, I found that this hairpin was particularly suitable for you, so I asked the sponsor for it." Mu Chuwei's eyes flashed with a glimmer of approval, "You look particularly elegant and smart in this way, which is even more suitable for your name."
Lin Lanzhi was stunned for a long time before she found the key point of his words. She suppressed the emotions that were surging in her heart and asked calmly, "Do you know the meaning of my name?"
Mu Chuwei nodded, stared at her thoughtfully, and said: "Orchids and angelica fill Tingzhou, and silk threads cross the road."
Lin Lanzhi's dark eyes flashed with surprise again, and she asked, "How do you know this poem?"
How could an idol star like him, who is the center of everyone's attention, have the time to pay attention to such flowery poetry?
"Baidu." Mu Chuwei blinked playfully, with a bit of childish cunning on his face.
Lin Lanzhi couldn't help but bite her lip lightly. She didn't expect that he would be so attentive to her and even search for the origin of her name on the Internet.
Mu Chuwei continued with a smile: "It seems that your parents paid a lot of attention to your name."
Lin Lanzhi's face darkened instantly, and she responded in a low voice: "Really?"
But the person who gave her this name had long gone and would never come back.
Mu Chuwei didn't notice her strangeness, and continued to speak enthusiastically: "What a coincidence, my name also has an allusion. Do you know 'Only in Chu are there talents, and they flourish here'?"
Lin Lanzhi frowned and thought about it seriously, then said truthfully: "I don't remember it very clearly, it seems to be a couplet from a college?"
"Yes." Mu Chuwei tapped her forehead with satisfaction, "This way you won't forget my name in the future."
Lin Lanzhi avoided his hand uncomfortably and changed the subject: "Mu Chuwei, can you please not show up when I'm teaching next time?"
Although her voice was a little unhappy, Mu Chuwei felt particularly comfortable listening to it. This girl even thought about "next time", it seemed that there was hope for progress.
He deepened the arc of his mouth and asked in a light tone: "Why?"
Lin Lanzhi pointed to her notebook helplessly and said, "Since you came, I don't know what the teacher is talking about. This class is wasted."
"So you mean you won't let me come to class?"
"You can come, but don't disturb me."
"Okay." Mu Chuwei agreed very readily, and then said mysteriously, "Since you can't listen to this class, why don't you come with me to do something meaningful, how about it?"
"Something meaningful?" Lin Lanzhi looked at him puzzledly, "What is it?"
"Come with me and you'll know." Mu Chuwei said, and without saying anything, he took her hand and walked towards the back door of the classroom, automatically ignoring the gazes of the people around them.
By the time Lin Lanzhi realized what was happening, they were almost at the school gate. She waved his hand away awkwardly, and he didn't make things difficult for her, letting her go.
She glanced at him and asked curiously, "What exactly is the meaningful thing you are talking about?"
In the sunshine, Mu Chuwei finally couldn't help but laugh, the smile spread from his lips, making his whole face sparkle. His amber eyes were like a mysterious lake under the moonlight, rippling with moving ripples.
Lin Lanzhi was unconsciously immersed in his stunning smile, staring blankly at his lips opening and closing: "Life is short, making yourself happy in time is also a meaningful thing, right? You must have never skipped a class, right? If you didn't skip a class during your student days, it would definitely be a great regret!"
After understanding his words, her expression couldn't help but become unhappy: "Mu Chuwei, you lied to me again!" After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.
Mu Chuwei quickly stepped forward and grabbed her arm, his face full of flattering smiles, and apologized to her: "Okay, I was wrong, isn't that enough? I just saw that you stayed in the classroom all day, and besides Suya, you had no other friends to talk to. I was afraid that you would get bored, so I wanted to take you out for some fresh air."
"How do you know I don't have any other friends?" Lin Lanzhi felt surprised and uneasy. Since when did he know so much about her?
"Oh, that's not right!" Mu Chuwei's eyes sparkled, he leaned close to her face and said with a smile, "I should be considered your friend, right? And our relationship is quite special."
"Don't be so self-righteous." Lin Lanzhi immediately retorted with a blush.
"Isn't it? At least he's your only friend of the opposite sex." Mu Chuwei continued to flatter himself shamelessly, "To celebrate that you have gained another friend, let's go out for a walk together. It's unprecedented for the big star Mu Chuwei to be your follower!"
For some reason, Lin Lanzhi suddenly couldn't think of a way to refuse. Perhaps she felt that she really needed to go out for some fresh air. She turned and walked towards the school gate, and Mu Chuwei immediately followed her.
The two of them were standing a distance apart, and Lin Lanzhi realized a very serious problem - Mu Chuwei had a slender figure and a handsome face that was more eye-catching than any luminous body. Most importantly, he was a big star, and even though he was wearing a pair of fashionable Harley glasses that covered half of his face, many passers-by still recognized him.
If they hadn't dodged quickly, they would have been surrounded by people. Although Mu Chuwei was used to that kind of scene, Lin Lanzhi was not used to it.
The two stopped under a paulownia tree and calmed their disordered breathing. Because of running so fast just now, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Lin Lanzhi's smooth forehead, sparkling with crystal light.
"Here, here you go." Mu Chuwei took out the handkerchief he carried with him and handed it to her. Without waiting for her to take it, he simply stretched out his hand to help her wipe it, "Let me help you."
He reached out his hand and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead. This action made Lin Lanzhi stunned and she looked at him with wide eyes in surprise.
She tried to hide her suddenly accelerated heartbeat and said unhappily, "It's all because of you! Why are you so eye-catching?"
Mu Chuwei smiled with her lips pursed, and deliberately said with a regretful tone: "There is no way, it is hard to give up natural beauty."
"Really?" Lin Lanzhi looked him up and down, then nodded thoughtfully, "It's not completely impossible."
Half an hour later.
They appeared on a noisy pedestrian street. The street was very narrow and both sides were lined with various clothing stalls. It was obvious at a glance that they were all cheap goods.
Mu Chuwei raised his eyebrows slightly, touched Lin Lanzhi's arm, and asked in confusion: "Why did you bring me here?"
"Of course I'm here to buy clothes!" Lin Lanzhi glanced at him, "Why else do you think you're here?"
"Buy clothes? Are you planning to buy clothes here?" Mu Chuwei touched his nose and kindly suggested, "These clothes are not suitable for you. I know there is a place with very fashionable clothes, and many female stars like to go there."
Lin Lanzhi glared at him and said mysteriously, "I didn't say you were going to buy me clothes."
"You're not buying clothes?" Mu Chuwei was slightly stunned, but soon understood, and the surprise in his eyes soared instantly, "You are not planning to buy clothes for me in a place like this, are you? Although I really want to receive your gift, but..."
"You think too much. I'm not going to pay for you." Lin Lanzhi's fair and pretty face was full of teasing. "You're not short of money. Just think of it as a contribution to the hard-working uncles and aunts here. Just buy a few things."
Mu Chuwei's face immediately showed deep sorrow. He looked at the clothes awkwardly, then turned to look at her and said, "I don't need any clothes. Thank you for your kindness..."
Lin Lanzhi raised her face and smiled at him: "I don't care, you have to buy it today anyway!"
Under her insistence, Mu Chuwei had no choice but to follow her with a sad face, bought a white shirt and a pair of outdated jeans, and also bought a pair of old-fashioned sunglasses to replace the fashionable and expensive Harley sunglasses on his face.
After changing into a shirt and jeans, Mu Chuwei stood in front of the mirror in the small clothing store, looking at his reflection in the mirror. His face was filled with sorrow, as if he was mourning himself: "My good reputation has been ruined in an instant."
Lin Lanzhi walked around him, looked him over carefully, and said, " No, it's not bad. Finally, it's not so noticeable."
Mu Chuwei had a sad face and said self-deprecatingly, "Better than Brother Xili."
Lin Lanzhi patted his shoulder and consoled him: "Don't belittle yourself. At least your face is still the same, but you need to change your hairstyle!"
"Woo woo, please forgive me!"
Mu Chuwei had a bitter face and looked like he was about to cry.
"But your outfit doesn't match your hairstyle." Lin Lanzhi tilted her head and looked at him with an expression that said "I want to be transformed to the end."
"You can rest assured. Even Ye Ziran won't be able to recognize me in my current state!" Mu Chuwei's tone and expression were extremely firm.
Lin Lanzhi was not going to compromise. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "I know what to do!"
Mu Chuwei immediately had a bad feeling, but before he could react, Lin Lanzhi couldn't wait to stretch out her hands and rubbed his hair vigorously. When the fashionable and perfect hairstyle was completely messed up by her, she put down her hands, squinted her eyes and looked at him, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's OK now!"
Mu Chuwei prepared himself mentally, slowly turned his head to look at the person in the mirror, and immediately shuddered. He also nodded, slowly stating a reality that he had to face: "Now even I can't recognize myself..."
Lin Lanzhi blinked and looked at her, and said sincerely: "I want this effect."
Mu Chuwei turned his head and stared at her pure and beautiful face and clear eyes. He suddenly had an insight: the person who invented the adjective "black-bellied" was really amazing. Some people look innocent on the surface, but in fact they have a completely different side in their bones.
He sighed helplessly: "Ah, are you repaying me or taking revenge on me?"
"Don't say it so harshly."
Lin Lanzhi felt that he didn't look that bad now. He just lacked the kind of ostentatious handsomeness like a fairy in the past, and had a bit more of the friendliness of a boy next door, which seemed to have shortened the distance between them.
She looked carefully at the "masterpiece" in front of her, smiled and patted his shoulder, saying: "And this is more in line with the identity of a follower!"
