Chapter 59: You have to practice first.

The thick fog drifted around the school. As they stood there in the corridor, they could hear the murmurs of lectures from the surrounding classrooms. Contrary to the constant noise of the school, Fu Chuan and Yao Yi were completely silent.

After Yao Yi finished saying that, she felt apprehensive, and her eyes flicked around wildly.

Fu Chuan lowered his eyes, his expression could not be seen clearly. He looked down at the floor for a while, and then asked hoarsely, “You… like me?”

Could it be that what she just said was not realistic enough? Yao Yi felt so guilty that she didn’t even dare to look at Fu Chuan.

“Mhm, probably….” Yao Yi tried to be vague.

Fu Chuan, whose heart was still pounding, suddenly calmed down and looked directly at Yao Yi: “Do you want to date me?”

“Yes.” Yao Yi replied straightforwardly. 

A few rays of sunlight shone through the dense fog and sprinkled onto the teaching building, hitting Fu Chuan. His long eyelashes trembled, and he asked softly, “Because you might like me?”

Fu Chuan looked at Yao Yi again: “Are you pursuing me?”

“That’s right, I’ve been talking for so long.” It was so difficult for Fu Chuan to understand her words. Yao Yi wondered how he got such good grades in composition. Obviously, he couldn’t even understand her words.

“I don’t think your pursuit is sincere enough.” Fu Chuan leaned lightly on the railing, “I don’t think you like me that much.”

Yao Yi frowned and looked at Fu Chuan. Really, how could he talk about likes and dislikes like this, he didn’t look like a good student at all.

Thinking it was the same thing, Yao Yi still had to force a smile in order to date Fu Chuan: “I like you, you…you are good-looking, with good grades.”

Who knows what was going on with Fu Chuan today? He kept trying to dismantle Yao Yi’s platform (TLN: saying that means going against someone’s words): “Aren’t you face-blind?”

Yao Yi raised her eyes and looked at Fu Chuan. Except for Han Jiaojiao and her small group of friends, she didn’t tell anyone else about this matter. Besides, she never showed any clues about it normally.

“Anyway, I think you’re good-looking.” Yao Yi became more and more shameless as she spoke, “Do you want to date me?”

Fu Chuan didn’t even have time to react, so he directly refused, “No.”

Probably after losing face, Yao Yi didn’t care anymore: “Then what do I have to do to make you agree?” She must start dating Fu Chuan before going to the winter camp!

“Do you know how other people pursue the person they like?” Fu Chuan’s heart in his chest started to jump again, but he still pretended not to care out the outside.

“I have studied it carefully, but there are still many things that I haven’t practiced.” Yao Yi said wearily like a balloon that was punctured. After a while, she seemed to remember something and looked up at Fu Chuan, “It’s because of this that you don’t agree?”

At this time, Yao Yi had already tacitly believed that Fu Chuan had also read “The Book of Love”.

Fu Chuan only loosely tied his hair today, and a lot of scattered hair fell down, hiding his red ears. He forced himself not to look at Yao Yi who was in front of him, but to look at the sky emptily: “Then I’ll consider whether to agree or not after you finish practicing.”

This was better than no hope at all. Yao Yi stood on the spot and thought hard for a while, before she reluctantly agreed: “Okay, then after I’ve pursued you, you have to promise me.”

“You want to be with me that much?” Fu Chuan pursed his lips. Actually, he wanted to agree to Yao Yi directly regardless of his image. However, it was obvious that she didn’t want to… date him because she liked him.

Yao Yi was afraid that Fu Chuan would go back on his word: “Anyway, you just agreed, and you can’t change it.”

The two stood at the door for two whole periods, and they were finally called back in after the second period. The language arts teacher also lost his temper after a while. He didn’t know of the agreement his two students reached during the two periods of standing.

After the second period, the language arts teacher packed up the lesson plans and walked out of the classroom. After returning to the classroom, Fu Chuan turned to Yao Yi and asked, “Aren’t we going to go eat something?”

I’m done telling you everything, so why am I still going out to eat? Nevertheless, Yao Yi didn’t say this in the end, maybe Fu Chuan was testing her now.

The Book of Love stated that she had to be obedient to the person being pursued.

“Let’s go.” Yao Yi stood up obediently and went downstairs with Fu Chuan.

Zhao Qian looked at the backs of the two of them walking out of the classroom together, and asked curiously, “What are they going to do? Are they going to the language arts teacher to admit their mistake?”

Han Jiaojiao, who had overheard the conversation between the two behind her earlier, glanced at Zhao Qian: “You’re thinking too much, they are going out to eat.”

Zhao Qian opened his eyes wide, looked down at his unfinished homework, looked at the two people who had disappeared at the door, and said sadly, “Why didn’t you tell me, I want to eat Huamei candy.”

“Do you have morning sickness? You eat these sour things all day long.” Han Jiaojiao recently particularly dislike some of Zhao Qian’s actions, especially his look when he looked like he was going to go crazy for food.

This morning’s teaching and research section was destined to be peaceful. The chemistry teacher who taught the class next to Class Zero was also the chemistry teacher of Class Zero. This morning, he especially took out two periods of class time for students to take exams. As a result, he saw Fu Chuan and Yao Yi when he came out for a breather.

When he stepped forward to ask, he found out that they were standing for punishment.

This was possible? What major event made the teacher of Class Zero willing to drive out the first and second place of the grade? The chemistry teacher was very gossipy. Anyways, he didn’t have any more periods of class to teach, and he couldn’t go home. Thus, he stood at the door of the teaching and research room and guarded the language arts teacher of Class Zero.

“What happened today? Fu Chuan and Yao Yi were kicked out of the classroom. Those two children are usually very good.” The chemistry teacher said while observing the face of the language arts teacher who was opposite him. Could it be that the two children were too obvious and were discovered? 

The language arts teacher was still holding the lesson plans in his hand, and sighed. He also burst out too much today, and he had been reflecting on it just after class.

“They are both distracted in a fair and honest manner. Forget about Yao Yi, her composition is hopeless. That child, Fu Chuan, who knows what is going on, he actually was daydreaming.”  Although the language arts teacher was reflecting on his own mistakes, when he thought that the two students that had the best grades had an incorrect attitude for class, he became angry again.

“It’s normal, young teens, it’s like this when they’re together.” The chemistry teacher accidentally let out.

The language arts teacher wondered: “What about being together?” He didn’t think about any other aspects.

“Oh, I said they can’t concentrate on studying all day long, and it’s understandable to daydream, so don’t take it too seriously.” The chemistry teacher quickly rounded up.

“Oh.” The language arts teacher nodded and walked to the teaching and research room.

Just as the chemistry teacher was about to enter his office, a colleague angrily rushed past in the distance. The chemistry teacher was the type of person to join in the fun, so he couldn’t help being interested.

“What’s the matter, it looks like you’re going to hit someone.” The chemistry teacher leaned against the door and asked the teacher who was walking towards him.

The teacher still had anger on his face: “What’s wrong? In the first period just now, a student threw two books from upstairs and didn’t even check if there was anyone downstairs. Fortunately, I was quick, or my head will be blooming with bruises today.”

The teacher suddenly held the two books in his hands. First period. Two books. It was not difficult to guess who these two books belonged to.

The teacher was still angry: “At first I wanted to go to the students upstairs to settle accounts immediately, but the students in my class came out to ask questions. I thought I would just look through the book to find the names of the students later, and then come upstairs to find which class they belong to, and then teach those students a lesson. Who knew that there were only notes in these two books, no names. Hmph, these notes are written nicely though.”

“Let me take a look.” The chemistry teacher took the two books from the teacher and flipped through them.

The handwriting on one was elegant, the writing on the other seemed to be distorted by the wind, but it was still neat and clean. It was not difficult to imagine whose books these were.

“Actually, these two students are my students. I have already taught them a lesson. When I went down to look for the books, I couldn’t find them. It turned out that they were taken away by you, Teacher Zhang.” The chemistry teacher mixed some lies with the truth.

“Your students?” The teacher was also taken aback.

“Yeah, the students were naughty, and I scolded them bloody at that time. Teacher, give me the book, and I will return it to them later. I have to scold them again to make sure they understand the danger of throwing objects at high altitudes.” The chemistry teacher persuaded the teacher to go back to the office to rest without any trace, “You go to prepare your next lesson first, and I will take care of it.”

“Okay, make sure to scold them well for me. It’s fine if they hit me, what if they hit a student?”

“Okay, definitely, definitely.” The chemistry teacher held two books and shook his head in his heart. He had spent all his time thinking for the two children.

The two wandering around the restaurants had already forgotten all about the books that had been dropped downstairs. The two shuttled back and forth in the not-so-spacious small supermarket with their minds wandering.

The supermarket was not that big, and the restaurants were not that small.

Under the pressure of heavy high school studies, going to the bathroom with friends, and strolling out to buy snacks between classes were usually the only means of entertainment for students.

“Do you want to eat this?” Yao Yi picked up a pack of white rabbit candy and asked, “I will treat you.”

Fu Chuan probably didn’t know how determined Yao Yi was to treat him. After all, a pack of white rabbit milk candy could not be considered cheap for Yao Yi. Her money was always spent on supplementing knowledge, and she seldom used it to buy snacks.

“It’s very sweet and delicious.” Yao Yi tried hard to persuade Fu Chuan to accept her kindness. If he accepted, it must mean that she had successfully implemented one of the scenarios from the Book of Love again.

Fu Chuan looked at Yao Yi’s longing eyes, then at the candy: “Do you think it’s delicious?”

“Yeah, it’s delicious.” Yao Yi nodded quickly.

“Okay.” Fu Chuan agreed.

Yao Yi immediately rushed to the cashier. It seemed that as long as she practiced it step by step, it would be fine, and Fu Chuan was not so difficult to speak to.

The author has something to say: Language arts books: What did we do wrong?
