Su Yu, seeing Lin Yanyu's expression, became even more certain of his inner thoughts and confidently said, "Heh heh... Because I'm the top scorer in the college entrance exam, the school asked you to show me favor, right?"
It must be for this reason!
No wonder Lin Yanyu always sought him out.
This school is really something. They told me not to be too high-profile, yet they found ways to appease me, even having the campus beauty act as a guide and deliver milk tea.
Sigh... Too polite.
"Ah, this..." Lin Yanyu looked at the self-assured Su Yu with a look of astonishment.
How could he think that?
This idiot, how did he manage to score so high?
I already told you you're different from others, isn't that obvious?
I made your bed and brought you milk tea. If I didn't like you, who would do such things...
I, Lin Yanyu, want to see just how stupid this fellow can be...
Thinking of this, Lin Yanyu simply went along with his words, smiling and admitting, "That's right."
Hoo... A breath of air was exhaled.
"So that's how it is..."
"The top scorer in the college entrance exam gets this kind of treatment? If I had known, I would have studied harder..."
"Fortunately, fortunately, we're not boyfriend and girlfriend. The goddess is still the pure goddess."
Hearing Lin Yanyu's words, the surrounding people breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Yanyu, the goddess in the hearts of all the male students at Qingda, was like a holy fairy.
How could a fairy be defiled by a mortal?
Thankfully, it was just a false alarm. The goddess was still the goddess.
It's just that this kid named Su Yu's academic performance was so good that the school had to curry favor with him, so they sent the goddess to complete the task.
As long as it's not a romantic relationship, does guiding the way matter?
No.
Does delivering milk tea matter?
No.
The special treatment the school gives to excellent students, what is this? This is called rapport.
The Lin family's campus beauty giving face to the school and completing the school's task, what is this? This is called worldly wisdom.
Is there any problem with rapport and worldly wisdom?
No problem.
"Classmate, aren't you going to take it? Can't you see the goddess's arm is getting tired?"
"Take it quickly. The goddess brought you milk tea from so far away. Is it acceptable for you not to take it?"
"That's right. Just be happy about it. If it weren't for your good grades, would you get this treatment?"
After thinking it through, the crowd actually started urging him on.
This kid named Su Yu, why is he still being coy? The goddess is delivering milk tea to you, just be happy about it. And you still won't take it!
Lin Yanyu's hand was still extended, but Su Yu remained unmoved. They felt sorry for Lin Yanyu and were afraid she would get tired, so they were all urging Su Yu to take the milk tea quickly.
"Uh..." Su Yu was a little taken aback by their sudden change in attitude.
Lin Yanyu found it amusing. She played along with the crowd, her big eyes sparkling with slyness, and pouted as she sighed, "Oh dear, my arm is getting tired..."
This sigh of "oh dear" melted the hearts of everyone present. They all cast fierce glances at Su Yu, urging him to take the milk tea.
No choice. To be able to walk out of the playground alive, Su Yu had no choice but to take the milk tea from her hand.
Lin Yanyu had specifically added a lot of ice to this cup of milk tea, and water droplets had already formed on the cup's surface.
Because of the water droplets, Su Yu didn't hold it steady when he took it, and the milk tea began to fall towards the ground.
Seeing this, he quickly used his other hand to catch it.
Lin Yanyu also instinctively bent down and reached out her delicate hand to catch the milk tea.
Then, their hands simultaneously cupped the milk tea, tightly joined together.
Looking up, their eyes met. Su Yu looked at Lin Yanyu with bewilderment, while she also looked up at him, a flicker of panic in her brilliant eyes.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still.
Su Yu sat on the steps, Lin Yanyu crouched in front of him, their hands holding the milk tea, their eyes locked.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, shining on them, casting a halo of light upon them.
The scene appeared incredibly beautiful.
In the air, a sweet melody began to play, like a scene from an idol drama, where the male and female leads gaze at each other, the surrounding people blurred into the background, and at this moment, apart from the two of them, there was only the music in their ears.
"Zhang Yang, why the hell are you playing music?!" Su Yu turned his head.
That's right, the music that inexplicably started playing was being played by Zhang Yang on his phone next to them.
"Sorry, the scene was too beautiful, I couldn't help but add some background music..." Zhang Yang smiled awkwardly, then turned off the music player.
The sweet singing stopped abruptly.
"Th-then, um, remember to finish the milk tea. I'll be going if there's nothing else." Lin Yanyu finally reacted. She quickly withdrew her delicate hand.
Before Su Yu could reply, she fled the playground as if running away, her face flushed red.
This time was different from the last. The previous bed-making was a brief touch, but this time their hands were already cupped together, and she could clearly feel the warmth of Su Yu's hand.
That feeling made her heart beat uncontrollably fast, to the point where she couldn't bear to stay with Su Yu any longer.
"Wh-what?"
"Holy crap, they're holding hands!"
"No!!!"
"He actually touched the goddess's hand, I can't accept this!"
"But, the scene just now was so beautiful. They look strangely compatible."
"Actually... I have that feeling too..."
After Lin Yanyu left, heartbroken cries and various laments filled the playground.
Everyone had clearly seen their goddess's hand joined with another man's, which felt worse than eating dirt.
However, they also knew that Su Yu hadn't intentionally taken advantage of the goddess, so apart from shouting a few times to vent their frustration, they had no other recourse.
"Cough, cough... I'm feeling dizzy again. Zhang Yang, quickly help me back to rest."
Su Yu couldn't stand the gazes of these people anymore and waved to Zhang Yang beside him.
If he didn't run now, would he wait to be surrounded and attacked after they had all had enough?
"Heh heh, how many people have you inadvertently hurt?"
Zhang Yang leaned in close to Su Yu's ear and said meaningfully.
Then, under Su Yu's glare, he chuckled and helped him up to leave.
The distance wasn't too far, but they felt as if they were walking on thin ice.
Upon exiting the playground, Su Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Close call, almost became the public enemy of the entire school.
"Did the campus beauty's hand feel good?" Zhang Yang suddenly leaned in and asked with a mischievous grin.
"Good my foot. Didn't you see the looks in those guys' eyes that almost wanted to eat me alive?" Su Yu glared at him and said irritably.
"You brat, you get the benefits but still complain." Zhang Yang contemptuously gave him the middle finger.
...
Girls' dormitory.
Lin Yanyu lay on her bed, covering her head with the quilt, curled up into a ball.
After a long while, she suddenly threw off the quilt, took a deep breath, and a sweet smile unconsciously curved her lips.
The blush on her face had not yet faded, and her eyes still held a hint of shyness as she stared blankly at the ceiling.
No, if I just ran away like this, will he overthink it?
What if he thinks I'm blaming him?
But if I act calm, will he think I'm a casual woman?
Lin Yanyu's mind was a mess. The thoughts of a young girl made her start to overthink.
