Chapter 21
Qiao Qiran apologized to me again in the classroom, but his attitude was extremely bad, showing no remorse at all.
Lu Weize, seeing this, angrily shouted, "Are you done yet?"
Qiao Qiran fearlessly replied, "Who do you think you are? Do you have any right to tell me what to do?"
Lu Weize sneered, "Try saying that one more time."
Qiao Qiran glared at Lu Weize, and the tension between them escalated.
I quickly grabbed Lu Weize's arm and said, "Forget it, just ignore him."
Hearing this, Lu Weize suppressed his anger and shot a glare at Qiao Qiran. "Get lost!"
Qiao Qiran snorted coldly and stopped talking.
I sighed in relief and said to Lu Weize, "Thank you."
Lu Weize looked at me and suddenly asked, "Why are you being so polite to him?"
I was taken aback.
Lu Weize frowned. "He bullies you, and you just let him? Aren't you going to fight back?"
I lowered my head and softly said, "I don't want to cause trouble."
Lu Weize was furious. "You're here to learn, not to be in prison!"
I bit my lip, unsure of what to say.
Seeing my reaction, Lu Weize became even angrier. "Are you out of your mind?"
His yelling left me a bit dazed.
Lu Weize noticed I wasn't responding and got even more frustrated. "Say something!"
I took a deep breath and looked up at him. "I don't want you to get punished because of me."
Lu Weize paused for a moment and then smiled, "So you were worried about me."
My cheeks flushed slightly as I avoided his gaze.
Lu Weize reached out and patted my head, "Don't worry, I'm not that weak."
I bit my lip, unsure of what to say.
Lu Weize chuckled, suddenly grabbing my hand and pulling me out of the classroom.
I followed him as we jogged to a secluded corner.
Breathing heavily, I asked in confusion, "Why did you bring me here?"
Lu Weize released my hand and stared into my eyes, "Why do you let Qiao Qiran bully you?"
I looked at him, unsure how to respond.
Lu Weize clenched his fists, anger evident in his voice, "He bullies you, and you just let him?"
I lowered my eyes and softly said, "He's my brother..."
Lu Weize interrupted me, "He's not your brother!"
I looked up at him.
Lu Weize gritted his teeth, "If you call him brother again, I'll hit you!"
I shivered in fear.
Seeing that I was scared, Lu Weize sighed and reached out to pat my head again, "Don't be afraid, I just..."
"Just what?"
Lu Weize looked at me, remaining silent for a long time before quietly saying, "I just can't stand seeing him bully you."
I bit my lip, unsure of what to say.
Lu Weize stared at me for a moment, then suddenly leaned closer and whispered, "Lin Chu, can I protect you from now on?"
I looked at his handsome face so close to mine, my heart racing.
Seeing me blush, Lu Weize chuckled softly and pinched my cheek. "Why are you blushing?"
I quickly covered my cheeks and took a step back. "I... I'm not blushing!"
Lu Weize blinked at me. "Really?"
I glared at him. "You’re not allowed to say that again!"
Lu Weize smiled and didn’t tease me further.
Chapter 22
In the afternoon, we began selecting the flag bearer for the opening ceremony of the autumn sports meeting.
The class monitor suggested, "I think Lin Chu would be a great fit."
Other classmates chimed in, "Yeah, Lin Chu has a good image and is beautiful!"
"And she's tall too!"
Upon hearing this, I quickly shook my head. "No way, I'm too tall; it would lower the average height."
The sports committee member disagreed. "I don’t think that’s right. Lin Chu is too thin; she looks fragile. How can she be the flag bearer?"
Other classmates echoed, "Yeah, Lin Chu is too thin; she probably can't even carry the flag."
"I think we should choose someone else."
I listened to everyone discussing in hushed tones, feeling a bit disheartened.
I am indeed quite thin; due to long-term stress and irregular eating habits, my figure is rather frail.
I originally thought there was nothing wrong with my appearance, after all, I considered myself to be at the level of a campus beauty.
But now it seems that people don't seem to like my type.
I lowered my head, feeling heavy-hearted.
At that moment, Lu Weize suddenly spoke up, "I support Lin Chu."
Everyone fell silent and turned to look at him in unison.
Lu Weize glanced at the sports committee member. "Do you have any objections?"
The sports committee member cleared his throat. "I didn't say it was impossible; I just offered my suggestion..."
Lu Weize interrupted him, "Then it's settled."
The sports committee member opened his mouth but ultimately didn't dare to argue back.
I looked at Lu Weize in surprise, not expecting him to support me.
Lu Weize winked at me and said with a grin, "So, are you touched?"
I shot him a glare and didn't respond.
...
After school, I went to the playground to practice pull-ups.
I had just done a few when I saw Lu Weize walking over.
He leaned against the pull-up bar and looked at me. "Need any help?"
I glanced at him. "Can you even do it?"
Hearing this, Lu Weize laughed. "Why wouldn't I be able to?"
He walked over, grabbed the pull-up bar, and did several standard pull-ups.
I was stunned, not expecting him to be in such great shape.
After finishing, Lu Weize jumped down and proudly said, "How about that? I'm impressive, right?"
I couldn't help but laugh, "Impressive, impressive."
Seeing me smile, Lu Weize leaned closer and asked with a grin, "So do you admire me a little more now?"
I rolled my eyes at him and continued doing pull-ups.
Lu Weize cheered me on from the side: "Come on! You can do it!"
He made me laugh, and I burst out laughing.
Seeing me laugh, Lu Weize joined in with his own laughter.
Looking at his bright smile warmed my heart.
Chapter 23
In the evening, after taking a shower, I sat on the bed and looked out the window.
The moon was hidden behind the clouds, casting a hazy glow.
I recalled what had happened during the day and couldn't help but smile foolishly.
Li Lu suddenly leaned in front of me and asked with a grin, "What are you thinking about? Smiling so dreamily?"
I quickly pulled my thoughts back and denied, "Nothing much."
Li Lu raised an eyebrow: "You're lying; you're like a little puppy."
I rolled my eyes at her and lay down on the bed, covering my head with the blanket.
Seeing that I wasn't willing to talk, Li Lu didn't press further and hummed a tune as she walked out.
I lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
My mind was filled with the image of Lu Weize.
I couldn't help but take out my phone and message Lu Weize: "Are you asleep?"
Lu Weize replied: "Not yet, I'm thinking about you."
I felt my cheeks flush and quickly responded: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Lu Weize: "I'm not joking; I really am thinking about you."
I didn't know what to say.
Lu Weize: "What about you? Are you thinking about me?"
After hesitating for a moment, I replied: "Yeah."
Lu Weize: "What does 'yeah' mean?"
I: "It means... I miss you too."
Lu Weize: "Hehe, I knew it."
I couldn't help but smile.
I chatted with Lu Weize for a long time and didn't fall asleep until the early morning.
