Chapter 294 The God of Beauty
"Eat this, it's delicious!" Zhu Zhixue put a piece of chicken clavicle on Li Zhuangsheng's rice.
"I'm eating. Don't keep picking food for me. I won't be hungry." Li Zhuangsheng laughed.
"What kind of food do you like? I'll cook it for you next time I'm off."
"I like to eat anything you make."
"No, tell me a few!"
"Well, let me think about it..."
In the cafeteria, Zhu Zhixue and Li Zhuangsheng were having lunch together. Originally, Li Zhuangsheng would always be with Lin Yuehua, but from today on, Zhu Zhixue would be by his side.
Li Zhuangsheng and Zhu Zhixue were both celebrities in the school, and the news of their relationship spread around the campus in just half a day.
The people around were watching Li Zhuangsheng and Zhu Zhixue whispering to each other. What interested them in gossiping was not their relationship, but the fact that Li Zhuangsheng had once rejected Hu Mengdie's fierce pursuit.
They are more curious about the emotional entanglement between the three in the future.
However, I heard that Hu Mengdie had a car accident and lost her memory after September... There are rumors that Hu Mengdie pretended to have amnesia in order to avoid the embarrassment of losing to Zhu Zhixue.
"Will you go back to class later?" Zhu Zhixue asked with a smile.
"I'm not going back. I'm writing a novel," said Li Zhuangsheng.
"I didn't even ask you, where do you usually go to write novels?"
"There's an empty classroom on the fifth floor of the Art Building."
"Really? Then I'll go too?" Zhu Zhixue said, holding Li Zhuangsheng's hand. "Can I go? I'll study next to you and won't disturb you!"
Li Zhuangsheng was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "Sure, but the sound of my keyboard typing is a bit loud, it might affect your studies."
Zhu Zhixue smiled and waved her hands: "It's okay, it's okay. I'm very focused when I study!"
After lunch, the two returned to the classroom together. Lin Yuehua had already returned. She saw Li Zhuangsheng take out his computer bag, and glanced at Zhu Zhixue, but did not stop him.
Zhu Zhixue quickly returned to her seat to pack up a few books she would need, then left the classroom with Li Zhuangsheng.
The moment she left the classroom, she glanced at Zhu Zhixue with no expression of joy or sadness. She just glanced and then looked away.
The two of them came to the fifth floor of the Art Building. Li Zhuangsheng took a deep breath and opened the window. He climbed in and turned on the light, took the bag from Zhu Zhixue, and then escorted Zhu Zhixue in.
He casually threw his bag on the seat, then opened the curtains inside, allowing the sunlight to shine in.
"Why is there a pair of gloves here?" Zhu Zhixue's curious voice sounded from behind Li Zhuangsheng.
Li Zhuangsheng turned his head. Those were the gloves given by Hu Mengdie. Before the holiday, he put them on the seat where Hu Mengdie had sat.
"Oh, I wore it when I was typing here before."
"Oh, you forgot to bring it back?"
"Oh... I feel it's a little small for me. I don't plan to use it anymore." Li Zhuangsheng turned off the lights.
“Did you post this newspaper?”
Zhu Zhixue looked at the newspapers pasted on the outer window facing the corridor. It was covered tightly and light could only seep in vaguely.
Li Zhuangsheng shook his head: "It wasn't me who put it up. It was already there when I arrived. I don't know which senior class put it up."
"That's good, we don't have to worry about being discovered!" Zhu Zhixue said. Li Zhuangsheng quietly put his gloves on the table, turned on his computer and started writing a novel.
Zhu Zhixue sat in Hu Mengdie's original seat and pouted: "We are a single man and a single woman, and you are just thinking about writing a novel?"
"We are students, we should interact with each other in a healthy way!" Li Zhuangsheng said with a smile.
"Tsk, I didn't say it's unhealthy... but a kiss is at least okay!" Zhu Zhixue pouted.
"Just give me a kiss and I'll study hard."
"Uh-huh!"
Zhu Zhixue pecked at the rice like a chick, then closed her eyes with an expectant look. Li Zhuangsheng hesitated for a moment, but still kissed her gently.
Zhu Zhixue's face became more rosy, and she hugged Li Zhuangsheng with a smile, sharing her joys and sorrows.
It was unknown how long it had been before Zhu Zhixue was willing to let go of Li Zhuangsheng and licked her numb lips.
"Study hard. If you think it's noisy, just tell me and I can turn down the volume." Li Zhuangsheng smiled.
"Okay, just type on your keyboard, I won't get in the way!" Zhu Zhixue waved her hand.
Li Zhuangsheng opened the document, and Zhu Zhixue suddenly asked, "Have you finished writing that novel?"
"The one you said you would submit to the magazine, I haven't done it yet." Li Zhuangsheng said, "I want to write more seriously this time, so I need to polish it more."
"Yeah, then you must show it to me when you finish writing it!"
Li Zhuangsheng agreed with a smile, but underneath his smile there was a hint of self-mockery.
It’s really hard to write.
The first story about a brother and sister was something he had thought about before his rebirth, and when he wrote it, he named the hero and heroine as himself and Li Xiuyu, which made it quite interesting to write. The second story was based on Lin Yuehua, and was the result of a decade of regrets. The two of them had so much to write about back then, and it was written in one go.
But he really didn't know what to write about what Zhu Zhixue wanted. He couldn't remember what happened in the first year of junior high school.
In Zhu Zhixue's eyes, his image at that time might have been great and glorious, but he didn't have the nerve to flatter himself. He couldn't really remember their high school experience, but he only remembered the excitement when they were arm wrestling... and Zhu Zhixue once smiled and showed him the hairpin his father had given her, and she asked him expectantly if it looked good.
Li Zhuangsheng remembered that they had just finished running and were on their way back to the classroom when Zhu Zhixue tilted her head to show him her hairpin. The sun was particularly bright at the time, and the light and shadow on her body were distinct.
The sweat on Zhu Zhixue's face flowed down her temples to her neck. Li Zhuangsheng was too shy to look directly at her, and felt that she was like a goddess in a Renaissance art work.
Just like Therese under Bernini's knife and Phryne under Jerome's pen... He had no time to care about the hairpin, but Zhu Zhixue asked him again and again, and he could only shyly pretend to be disdainful and said hypocritically that it was just so-so.
Actually, Zhu Zhixue was asking about the hairpin, not how she looked. But Li Zhuangsheng didn't realize it until he returned to his seat. He regretted it at that time, and should have answered "pretty".
Because it really looks good. It’s not a hairpin, but the hairpin on Zhu Zhixue’s head.
Apart from that, there seems to be nothing to write about. The memories of the two before their rebirth were really dull, and the half hour of their reunion was a nightmare that Li Zhuangsheng didn't want to recall. And their current relationship was like an awkward stage play, with no equivalence at all.
According to Li Zhuangsheng's normal level, it would be easy for him to make up a story, but Zhu Zhixue was his girlfriend and he didn't want to fool her.
So now Li Zhuangsheng is stuck and has a headache, feeling like he can't find a foothold.
"I will study hard and will definitely be in the top 50!" Zhu Zhixue vowed.
