Chapter 1087 Senior, Your Image Has Crumbled (Lu Guixin Part 9)

After greeting the teachers, Lu Guixin turned her head and inadvertently met Zhou Fu's gaze.

The moment their eyes met, the slight smile on Zhou Fu's face drooped. His eyes were cold, dark, and slightly reddish, and his eyebrows were knitted together. He seemed to be irritated.

Lu Guixin's gaze remained fixed on him. Even before she reached the school gate, she saw Zhou Fu being stopped by the eleventh grade's level head from afar.

Zhou Fu's tall build and strong presence made it easy for people to spot him anywhere. He was moving slowly in his school uniform and behaving in an arrogant and insufferable manner, and the smirk on his face drove the level head mad.

Although it was his mother's death anniversary today, Lu Guixin couldn't tell how he was feeling. It wasn't like she cared, anyway. Still, she wondered what was wrong with him, seeing how he could joke around with others one second ago and look at her as if she owed him money the next. Oh, right. I do owe him a million yuan. Is that the att.i.tude a creditor has towards their debtor?

Lu Guixin didn't manage to sleep well last night, so she woke up grumpy this morning. Hence, she felt even more p.i.s.sed off right now. Her eyes narrowed for a second, but she couldn't let her image grumble upon recalling that they were currently in public with many eyes on them. Plastering a smile on her face, she a.s.sumed her good-girl image once more and greeted Zhou Fu cheerfully.

Zhou Fu didn't greet her back. What a fake smile.

As it was currently November, the sky appeared somewhat dark even though it was already past six in the morning. Due to the bright white lights s.h.i.+ning, the school entrance was illuminated, and Zhou Fu could clearly see Lu Guixin's mesmerizing features.

Although the teachers and their schoolmates said that his face was the work of G.o.ds, he thought the description was more fitting for Lu Guixin.

She, an equally influential figure of the school, was indisputably the campus belle, for she captured everyone's attention as soon as she appeared. It was just that she didn't have much of a presence in school in the past due to her bad results. People only remembered her name whenever they mentioned the beautiful girls in school.

However, her name, together with Zhou Fu's, had been trending on the forum lately. The most popular article about them was about how she wasn't worthy of the guy.

With the protagonists of the rumors appearing at the school gate at the same time and even looking at each other, the students naturally felt curious, although some had disdain in their eyes. Being the youths that they were, their feelings were plainly revealed on their faces, and the malicious looks filled with disdain were all blatantly directed at Lu Guixin.

As the number of people at the school gate slowly increased, the whispers slowly got louder and louder too.

"This is the first time I've seen Lu Guixin in person. She's really pretty, although her results are truly terrible. I helped mark a portion of the freshmen's exam papers last night. Do you know how much she scored on her physics second paper?" The person who was speaking secretly put out his hand and made the number seven.

"What the f*ck?! That's way too low!" Our high school is the best in the city, and the standards of the students are very high. Generally speaking, our results won't be too bad, and we rarely have anyone getting such a ridiculous score on the second paper.

"Zhou Fu has just finished partic.i.p.ating in the physics compet.i.tion, and there's no doubt that he'll surely be the winner. The difference between the two"

"He probably feels insulted to be paired together with Lu Guixin. That must be why he got so angry that he posted that comment on the forum. It was to draw a line with her."

The whispering voices made Zhou Fu's frown deepen.

"I bet those people who pair them together have a screw loose. She's not worthy of him."

"What the f*ck does it have to do with you?" A hostile voice was heard out of nowhere, and it instantly silenced the students.

They instinctively looked up, only to feel a huge wave of suffocation cras.h.i.+ng into them when they saw Zhou Fu staring at them with his cold and dark eyes. The students in the front looked stiffly at him with their hearts racing in trepidation.

The next second, Zhou Fu turned his body slightly to face them, and the overwhelming pressure made them develop the urge to step back.

"Do I need you to over-interpret my words?" Zhou Fu swept his gaze over them, his voice low and chilly. "Won't you stop barking?"

The students who gossiped about him earlier flushed in embarra.s.sment and lowered their heads quietly, for hearing Zhou Fu scold them in person was far worse than having him scold them on the forum.

"Zhou Fu!" The eleventh grade's level head stared at him angrily. "Is that how you were taught to talk to your schoolmates?!"

Zhou Fu ignored the teacher and directed his sharp gaze to the girl who said Lu Guixin wasn't worthy of him. "She's not worthy of me? It's not like you're worthy of me yourself. Who are you to criticize her?"

The girl had always been a wors.h.i.+per of Zhou Fu, so when she heard him scolding her right in her face, her face turned red in utter embarra.s.sment as a tear fell from her eye.

"Zhou Fu!" The level head was livid. "What the h.e.l.l is wrong with you today?!"

Zhou Fu turned a deaf ear to him and looked at the rest of the people standing at the entrance. His voice was cold and sharp as a knife when he spoke. "Are your legs broken? Feel free to let me know if you want the student union to mark you as late."

As soon as he said that, all the students frantically rushed into the school as if a beast was chasing after them.

The level head's expression was completely dark and awful, having lost his face. He was gasping heavily as he shot an angry glare at Zhou Fu.

It was only then that Zhou turned to look at him. With a nonchalant smile, he said, "Watch your blood pressure, teach. You're getting on in age. Don't let it shoot up again."

After saying that, he slung his bag over his shoulder and walked away in an arrogant manner with his hands in his pockets.

The level head barked, "Go reflect on yourself! I want you to stand at the flagpole to reflect on yourself later!"

Without even turning his head, Zhou Fu waved his hand and lazily responded, "Sure."

"You!" The level head was even more p.i.s.sed off by his reply.

Just then, the twelfth grade's level head walked over and said, "Don't get so mad. Be careful, or your blood pressure might shoot up."

The eleventh grade's level head pointed a trembling finger at Zhou Fu. "What the h.e.l.l is wrong with him?"

The twelfth grade's level head looked at Zhou Fu in puzzlement as he wondered why the latter was so irritable after coming back. He then turned to stare at Lu Guixin for a couple of seconds before ultimately coming to a conclusion that his guess must be wrong. Impossible, those two are from completely different worlds.

Meanwhile, Mr. Dong, the eleventh grade's level head, was still rattling on, "He's never handed in his homework properly before, he's always sleeping in cla.s.ses, and he's always reporting to cla.s.ses on the dot. I already turned a blind eye to his behavior, but he had some nerve to scold the other students in front of me today?! Is he going to fight in my presence tomorrow?! He barely managed to follow school rules in the past, but look at what he's turned out?! He's totally rebelling!"

The other teacher had no idea how to comfort him.

Capital University, the top university in the country, had long expressed its intention to grant Zhou Fu early admission, but Zhou Fu declined their offer and insisted on completing high school first.

Being the top student in the entire twelfth grade with numerous awards from compet.i.tions in various fields and outstanding appearances, Zhou Fu was popular outside school from a long time ago. Even the top universities in the capital and abroad were paying close attention to his future choice.

The nicknames he got included genius, high achiever, master of everything, and the work of the G.o.ds. Many juniors and freshmen idolized him because of his good reputation, but he had shattered many of their fantasies with his behavior today.

Lu Guixin had quietly observed everything from the side. As she watched Zhou Fu enter the school, she pushed her gold-rimmed gla.s.ses up with her slender finger. Was he trying to defend me, speak up for me, and vent the anger on my behalf?

She had grown up in such an environment. Although n.o.body dared to say anything about her right in her face because they were afraid of her parents, they laughed and scoffed at her behind her back. It wasn't like she was bothered about it. On the contrary, she found it more comfortable that n.o.body cared about her and that n.o.body was watching her all the time. She welcomed anyone who wanted to be her friend and ignored those who saw her as an eyesore, but this was the first time someone had ever stood up for her, and at the risk of his own image at that.

Is he interested in me? Lu Guixin raised her eyebrow a little as her eyes sparkled with amus.e.m.e.nt. The grumpiness she felt earlier was all gone now, and she happily entered the school while holding her breakfast.

However, just as she was pa.s.sing through the greenery area between the school buildings, a black figure suddenly appeared from the corner and stopped right in front of her.

She pretended to jump in shock and took a step backward before looking up and meeting Zhou Fu's dark and cold eyes. She heaved a sigh of relief as she looked at him in trepidation and said in a light and gentle voice, "You"

Zhou Fu scanned her up and down before saying coldly with an expressionless face, "You didn't return to school last night?"

For the first time, Lu Guixin doubted her IQ of 234, for she couldn't understand why she always couldn't keep up with Zhou Fu's train of thought nor understood what he wanted. She obediently answered, "I did."

"Yeah, my a.s.s." Zhou Fu narrowed his eyes, his voice icy.

Lu Guixin was speechless. If you weren't so handsome, I would've beaten the h.e.l.l out of you and made you land in the hospital.
