Chapter 131 Chu Rouxuan went to Class A2
Xiao Xu had just taken a few steps when he was stopped by Chu Rouxuan, the protagonist of the banquet. She stood in front of Xiao Xu carelessly, with an attitude that would not tolerate any discussion. She curiously asked Xiao Xu why he wanted to leave so soon, and teased him: "Xiao Xu, Brother Xu, are you going this way? Aren't you a good brother to my brother? Why are you so disrespectful? It's not been long since the beginning, why are you leaving?"
Chu Rouxuan's words were like a string of cannonballs, not giving Xiao Xu a chance to speak. Her eyes were full of curiosity and mischief, and she seemed to be particularly interested in Xiao Xu's whereabouts. While asking, she held Xiao Xu's hand tightly. Xiao Xu was helpless, he tried to pull his hand out, but he couldn't pull it out, so he could only let her pull him to chat.
Chu Rouxuan loosened her grip a little until she saw the car from Jimo Chu going farther and farther away. Xiao Xu cleverly avoided Chu Rouxuan's entanglement and quickly ran to the gate. However, the car he had been thinking about had already disappeared from his sight, leaving only the empty streets and the faint lights in the distance.
He immediately asked the servants at the door anxiously, wanting to know where Lu Qingxi had gone. However, Chu Rouxuan stood behind Xiao Xu and shook her head at the servants who were being questioned, signaling them not to say anything. Seeing this, the servants lowered their heads and remained silent.
When Xiao Xu saw the actions of his attendants, he felt an inexplicable sense of loss. He felt as if he had missed something important, as if he had lost a precious treasure.
He stood silently at the gate, staring into the distance with empty eyes. His heart was filled with endless regret and sorrow. He had a premonition that he might not be able to find the girl who made his heart beat in the short term.
Xiao Xu had no choice but to place his hopes on Chu Rouxuan. He asked her to tell him the name of the girl in the black dress if she knew it. Chu Rouxuan agreed perfunctorily, but Xiao Xu could feel that she didn't take it seriously.
Chu Rouxuan looked at Xiao Xu's lost look, and she couldn't help feeling a little guilty. She knew that she was going too far, but she also had her own considerations. She sighed softly, then turned and left.
When Xiao Xu returned to the banquet, he saw Han Wan still sitting on the ground, and he felt guilty. He went forward to help Han Wan up, but he didn't say sorry, he just sat there in deep thought and sighed. Han Wan was dissatisfied when he saw this, but he had nothing to say, and could only roll his eyes silently in his heart.
Lu Qingxi returned safely to Zhai's house under the escort of Jimo Tan. She didn't want to alarm other people at home, so she walked into her room quietly.
The room was quiet, with only the sound of the breeze coming from the window. Lu Qingxi gently closed the door and began to change out of the exquisite dress she was wearing. The jewels inlaid on the dress sparkled charmingly under the light, but at the moment, Lu Qingxi had no intention of appreciating it.
She carefully took off her dress and handed it to the waiting maid to clean. The wrinkles on the dress needed to be carefully treated to restore its original splendor.
At the same time, Lu Qingxi also took off the mask she had been wearing. The makeup behind the mask was flawless, which stunned the maid next to her. The maid was stunned for a long time before taking the mask and gently placing it on the second layer of the wardrobe.
The next day, everyone in Class A1 was surprised when they saw the three patients with dark circles under their eyes. Helian Che looked exhausted after talking drunkenly all night; Chu Ye was also listless after listening to drunken talk all night; and Xiao Xu looked withdrawn and lost because he couldn't find the girl he loved. In contrast, Zhai Xingchen seemed calm, as if nothing had happened.
Zhai Xingchen looked at Xiao Xu's absent-minded appearance and couldn't help asking him if there was any conflict between him and Han Wan. Xiao Xu's eyes flickered for a moment, and he didn't answer directly, but said that he fell in love with a woman at first sight. However, he didn't even know what the other person looked like, he only knew that she wore a white mask and a black dress yesterday.
Hearing this, Helian Che's heart tightened. He immediately thought of Lu Qingxi's dress at the banquet yesterday. He hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Xiao Xu, is the girl you are talking about the one at the banquet yesterday?"
Xiao Xu nodded and said excitedly: "Yes, it's her! Do you know who she is? I was looking for news about her last night, but I couldn't find any." Helian Che immediately lowered his head and said nothing.
Zhai Xingchen noticed something was wrong, turned to look at Helian Che, and saw him turning his watch. A strange color flashed in his eyes.
Chu Ye, who was beside Helian Che, couldn't help but feel worried when he saw Helian Che lowering his head. He knew that Helian Che had drunk a lot of wine yesterday, but he didn't seem to be in a good mood today. So after the first class, Chu Ye decided to take Helian Che out for some fresh air, hoping that he could relax.
In a corner of the campus, Chu Ye looked at Helian Che and said seriously: "A Che, if you really like Lu Qingxi, then go after her bravely. Don't let yourself regret it."
Helian Che was indeed moved after hearing this. He admitted that he had special feelings for Lu Qingxi, but he also knew that he had a strict moral bottom line. He would never do anything to destroy other people's feelings.
So, Helian Che shook his head and said to Chu Ye: "Aye, I know your good intentions. But, I can't do this. Lu Qingxi already has her feelings, I can't interfere."
Chu Ye looked at Helian Che's determined eyes and felt helpless. He knew Helian Che's character. Once he made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. However, seeing his brother in so much pain, he felt more disgusted with Lu Qingxi. He felt that if Lu Qingxi could make Helian Che so miserable, she must not be a good person.
A few days later, the midterm exam came as scheduled, and the atmosphere in the school became particularly tense. Students from all classes sat in the examination room with great concentration, their pens flying on the paper, and everyone tried their best to answer the questions on the test paper. Lu Qingxi was no exception. She carefully examined the questions, thought carefully, and tried to do her best on every question.
However, unlike other students who wanted to get high scores, Lu Qingxi still chose to control her scores in this exam. Ever since Xiao Xu asked her name last time, she always felt a little uneasy. She didn't want to attract unnecessary attention because of her outstanding grades, and she didn't want to have too many interactions with the male protagonists and male supporting roles in Class A1. Therefore, she decided to keep a low profile and try not to become the focus of everyone's attention.
After Lu Qingxi finished her part, she confirmed with Xiaoliu that her current score had reached the standard. Therefore, she put down her pen and capped it early. The sound of the pen cap closing was particularly clear in the quiet examination room, which attracted Jimo Zhu's attention. He looked up at Lu Qingxi beside him and found that she had already closed her eyes and rested, as if she had completed all the tasks.
His eyes flickered, and then he returned his gaze to his own paper. He still had two questions to finish, and in order to control his score, he had to finish one more before he could put down his pen...
The day after the exam, the campus was filled with a relaxed and expectant atmosphere. Each class received a notice that the school would hold a cultural evening, which undoubtedly provided everyone with a good opportunity to show themselves and relax.
After the results were announced in the afternoon, students flocked to the bulletin board to check their class placement. As the dust settled on the class placement, each class began to get busy preparing for the evening party.
However, when the results were announced, the whole school went wild. The reason was that Chu Rouxuan from Class A1 only scored 72 points! Even with the extra 5 points for being a child of one of the four major families, the total score was only 77 points, which meant that she could only be demoted to Class A2. The news that someone from the four major families had left Class A1 quickly spread to every corner of the campus.
When Chu's father heard the news, he was filled with indescribable anger and disappointment. He felt as if his face was ruthlessly torn off. He knew that once the news spread, it would have a bad impact on the family's reputation. So he immediately picked up the phone and dialed Chu Ye's number.
Chu Ye looked at the caller ID on the phone screen and couldn't help feeling a little confused. He was stunned. Why would this father who usually didn't care about him take the initiative to call him today? With a hint of curiosity and trepidation, he pressed the answer button.
On the other end of the phone, Chu's father's roar exploded in Chu Ye's ears like thunder: "What's wrong with your sister! What is she learning in school? It's just nonsense! Go and discipline her right now!"
Chu Ye was stunned by the sudden roar, and he quickly lowered the volume to avoid attracting the attention of the people around him. He took his phone, walked out of the crowd quickly, came to an empty corner, took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked, "Father, are you sure? How could Rouxuan get such a score?"
Father Chu's voice was still filled with anger: "How could I not be sure! This is what your principal told me personally! What she did was simply irresponsible to the family! As a brother, you must discipline her!"
Chu Ye was filled with mixed emotions. He knew that his sister had always been very sensible and had always done very well in school. This incident was beyond his expectations. He immediately turned around and walked back to the classroom quickly, wanting to find Chu Rouxuan to ask her about it.
When he saw Chu Rouxuan, her face was full of smiles and her eyes were shining with excitement. Chu Ye walked to his sister and asked in a low voice: "Rouxuan, why did you deliberately get a low score?"
Chu Rouxuan looked at him, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it. She lowered her head and said in a weak voice: "Brother, I...I did poorly on the exam by accident."
Chu Ye's heart sank when he heard this. He took a deep breath and said seriously: "Rou Xuan, do you know the consequences of doing this?"
Chu Rouxuan raised her head, with a puzzled look in her eyes: "Brother, what's wrong?"
Chu Ye took a breath and did not continue to ask. He did not tell Chu Rouxuan what Chu's father had told him, but just made an excuse that his house needed to be renovated recently and asked her to live in a house closer to the school for a few days. Before the first class that afternoon, students from all classes were changing classes. Chu Ye saw Chu Rouxuan happily moving to Class A2, but he was still worried. He still couldn't help passing by Class A2 many times, and every time he saw Chu Rouxuan desperately sticking to Lu Qingxi.
Chu Ye's guess was gradually confirmed. It turned out that his sister deliberately got a low score in order to be in the same class with Lu Qingxi. He recalled the previous interactions between his sister and Lu Qingxi, and a complex emotion arose in his heart.
He raised his head again, his eyes falling on the sister who was standing obediently in front of Lu Qingxi. The usually arrogant little girl now had a flattering smile, holding a registration form in her hand, and gently shook Lu Qingxi's hand.
Chu Ye's heart sank slightly, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. He felt a little uncomfortable. When did his sister become so humble?
His eyes became firmer, and he lowered his head to send a message on his phone. Not long after, he received several replies and a contact card. He read these replies carefully, and gradually formed a plan in his mind.
Afterwards, Chu Ye did not choose to return to his classroom, but instead held his cell phone tightly and walked in the opposite direction.
