Chapter 162 Lunch Break (3/3)

"Li Zhuangsheng, were you at school this afternoon?"

On the way back to the classroom, Zhu Zhixue looked at Li Zhuangsheng in surprise. As far as she could remember, Li Zhuangsheng had not been in class for afternoon self-study for almost a month.

"Well, I feel a little sleepy this afternoon, so I might as well take a nap in class." Li Zhuangsheng said nonsense casually.

He felt a little anxious. If it was the Hu Mengdie of the past, he wouldn't have to be so nervous, but the Hu Mengdie he had to face at this moment was obviously the fallen version.

Lin Yuehua looked quite surprised: "Aren't you going to write a novel at noon today?"

"Take a day off today. Physical education class is too tiring." Li Zhuangsheng turned his face away.

After sitting down in the classroom, about half of the students were attending the afternoon self-study. Lin Yuehua looked at Li Zhuangsheng's supplementary books for a while, but saw that Li Zhuangsheng was silently reading the English textbook, but his eyes were dull, as if he was worried.

"When will the new work you told me about that day come out?" Lin Yuehua asked softly.

"I don't know... I'm still writing." Li Zhuangsheng said casually.

What new work? It was just a lie to Lin Yuehua. He has been busy with online serials recently and has no interest in submitting to "Xiaoshuohui" for the time being, although the editor told him that the article "Bai Tao Zhuo Zhuo" received good response and asked him if he was interested in starting a new one.

Li Zhuangsheng declined, saying that he was still a high school student, so he was mainly focusing on his studies and did not have much time. The editor was amazed and said that after reading Li Zhuangsheng's articles, he thought he had at least seven or eight years of full-time writing experience, but he was just shortsighted.

Li Zhuangsheng was speechless and could only reply with two words: awesome.

It seems that many girls like to read this kind of orthopedic BE article. Li Zhuangsheng has also enjoyed some celebrity treatment in the real campus recently. He also searched the Internet for "White Peach Burning". This novel has been discussed on the forum.

Because of this, the "school hunk" became famous on campus. Some classmates and teachers who were not well-informed almost thought that Li Zhuangsheng was the "school hunk". After being informed, they burst into laughter.

Although Li Zhuangsheng no longer has the arrogance he had in his middle school years, he couldn't help feeling a little proud under the recent flattery from those around him, thinking that maybe he really had some talent for writing... But after reading the editor's words, he smiled wryly and calmed down.

It seems that I am just an ordinary person engaged in the job of "writing". I can achieve such results purely because of my years of work. Most of those who are moved are students with little experience.

It was not a big deal to be able to sign a contract with the website. Li Zhuangsheng felt that he had just stumbled upon the most basic writing routine. Any person with normal intelligence, as long as he found the right method or was taught by an experienced author for a period of time, would at least be able to get a contract without any obstacles.

Writing novels is much simpler than trigonometry, but there is no systematic teaching material yet.

"When will your new work be released? I want to see it." Lin Yuehua said.

"Uh...it may not pass the review of the magazine."

"It doesn't matter if you don't pass. Just show me what you wrote."

Li Zhuangsheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll show it to you when I finish writing it."

There’s nothing I can do but write it.

Lin Yuehua's mouth corners seemed to rise a little: "You must show it to me first, I want to be your first reader. By the way, have you thought of a name for the novel?"

"Not yet..." Li Zhuangsheng shook his head, and suddenly met Lin Yuehua's smiling eyes, and an inspiration came to him instantly, "The name is "You Go to Xiaoxiang and I Go to Qin"."

"The sound of a few windpipes leaves the pavilion late, you go to Xiaoxiang and I go to Qin..." Lin Yuehua murmured softly, then nodded, "It's pretty good, is it another tragedy?"

"Maybe... I haven't thought about it yet."

Lin Yuehua stopped talking, looked at Li Zhuangsheng several times, and reached out to touch his head.

"What are you doing?" Li Zhuangsheng was stunned and let Lin Yuehua touch him.

"You seem absent-minded these past two days. What happened?"

"No..." Li Zhuangsheng was slightly surprised, and then he made up an excuse, "Maybe it's because of studying. I feel like I can't keep up with my studies lately."

"Don't be anxious, take your time, we are only in the first semester of high school." Lin Yuehua's eyes were gentle and her voice was like a breeze under the warm sunshine.

Li Zhuangsheng teased, "I'm just worried that my grades are too bad and you won't play with me anymore." Lin Yuehua smiled and tapped Li Zhuangsheng on the head:
"Idiot."

There seemed to be some anger in her voice, just like the helplessness of explaining a problem to someone but the other person just couldn't understand.

"I won't say any more. I'm going to take a nap. If you're sleepy, go ahead and take a nap. If you're not, take a look at the vocabulary list for Module 2. I'm going to get up and take a nap." Lin Yuehua yawned and took off her glasses.

"You may have caught a cold. You don't seem to be feeling well today. You didn't even eat much for lunch."

"A little bit..." Lin Yuehua lay down, closed her eyes, and faced Li Zhuangsheng.

Li Zhuangsheng thought about it, took off his school uniform jacket, and covered Lin Yuehua with it. Lin Yuehua narrowed one eye, raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and closed her eyes again.

Li Zhuangsheng took out the thermos cup from the other person's desk, which was almost empty, so he put a piece of brown sugar in it and walked quietly to the back of the classroom to pour hot water for her.

"I want to sleep too!"

On the way back, Zhu Zhixue suddenly grabbed Li Zhuangsheng's arm and glared at him.

Li Zhuangsheng was stunned: "Then go to sleep."

Zhu Zhixue was angry: "I don't have any clothes to cover myself? Who is your best friend?"

"She has a cold today. Didn't you see that she has no appetite when eating?"

"I think she ate as much as I did today!"

"That's why you said she had no appetite. You have no idea how much she normally eats."

"Humph, she has clothes to cover herself, but I don't... So in your heart, she is more important than me!"

Li Zhuangsheng didn't know how to refute, so he had to change the subject and argue: "But I gave you a cell phone, not hers?"

Although Li Zhuangsheng gave his own mobile phone to Lin Yuehua for safekeeping.

Zhu Zhixue thought that there was some truth to this. Although the BBK flip phone that Li Zhuangsheng gave her was not one of the popular smart phones, it was still quite expensive two years ago.

Even so, she felt uncomfortable and vaguely felt that Li Zhuangsheng was partial to her. This was not a matter of money or material things, he seemed to be "better" and "more concerned" with Lin Yuehua.

"Then take your phone back..." Zhu Zhixue pouted, "Cover me with your clothes from now on!"

"Okay, okay, next time I'll cover you with my clothes." Li Zhuangsheng laughed.

Zhu Zhixue snorted: "We are best friends, right?"

Li Zhuangsheng nodded: "Yes, that's right!"

Zhu Zhixue took out her thermos cup, which was already gray in color. "Fill me up too."

Li Zhuangsheng took it and felt it was a bit heavy: "Aren't there still a lot of things in here?"

"I do not care!"

Helplessly, Li Zhuangsheng filled Zhu Zhixue's cup with water and handed it back to her. Only then did she show a slightly satisfied expression.

"Eh!"

Zhu Zhixue stopped Li Zhuangsheng who was about to leave, took out a still-warm Alps lollipop from her pocket and put it in his hand.

"Go ahead, don't disturb me while I study!" She waved her hand.
