Chapter 3: I Have to Take the Entrance Exam for the Same University as Su Ruochu
Chen Fan looked at Huang Hu before him with some surprise.
How had he never noticed in his previous life that this guy secretly liked Su Ruochu?
Chen Fan had never had a good impression of Huang Hu. Narcissistic and boastful, he often used his class monitor status to tattle on others.
After graduation in their past life, during a class reunion, Chen Fan’s most vivid memory was of Huang Hu arriving in a BMW.
At that gathering, Huang Hu was the center of attention, constantly bragging about having a girlfriend from an official family.
He even subtly flaunted that he had passed the exam to become a municipal civil servant.
Though only a low-ranking clerk, Huang Hu made it sound like a prestigious position.
In the following years, Huang Hu indeed did well, leveraging his girlfriend’s family background to quickly rise to a powerful leadership position in some government office.
But his good fortune didn’t last long.
Eventually, he was caught in corruption and removed from office after being reported by his mistress.
Chen Fan brought his thoughts back to the present, staring at the guy before him who liked to talk with his head tilted and eyes slanting.
Chen Fan spoke calmly, “This doesn’t seem to concern you, does it?”
“I’m the class monitor. I have the right to inquire about any matter in the class,” Huang Hu replied.
“Your behavior has seriously affected Su Ruochu’s studies.”
Huang Hu snorted coldly, “If you don’t care about your own future and don’t want to get into a good university, don’t drag Su Ruochu down.”
Chen Fan smiled.
“Class monitor, do you secretly like Su Ruochu too?”
Caught off guard, Huang Hu’s face flushed with embarrassment, but he quickly straightened his neck and snorted, “So what if I do?”
“You’d better stay away from her. Someone like you isn’t worthy of her.”
Chen Fan shrugged, “Whether I’m worthy or not isn’t your decision.”
“Maybe Ruochu likes guys like me.”
Chen Fan patted Huang Hu on the shoulder.
“By the way, a piece of advice: focus on your studies and stay away from my girl.”
“Otherwise, don’t blame me for hitting you!”
“You…”
Huang Hu’s face darkened. He reached out and grabbed Chen Fan’s collar.
“What are you two doing?”
Su Ruochu’s voice came from the corridor.
Huang Hu immediately let go and took a step back.
He glanced at Su Ruochu, then pointed at Chen Fan.
“We’ll see.”
Without another word, he hurried downstairs and left.
“I’m waiting for you,” Chen Fan said with a smile, waving casually, completely unfazed.
Su Ruochu came quickly, looking a little shy when she saw Chen Fan.
“Were you two fighting just now?”
“Ah? No, no,” Chen Fan hastily waved his hands.
“Then why did Huang Hu come to you?”
“Oh, he asked if I had any pirated DVDs; said he wanted to relax after studying.”
Chen Fan said solemnly, “Ridiculous. Someone as pure as me wouldn’t watch that kind of thing. Of course, I refused him firmly.”
He was quick to throw dirt on Huang Hu’s face, ready to eliminate any potential rivals at all times.
Su Ruochu glanced at Chen Fan but didn’t expose him, turning to enter the classroom.
A little later, she came out carrying her backpack.
Seeing Chen Fan still standing by the door, Su Ruochu felt a bit awkward.
“Why haven’t you left yet?”
“I’ll walk you home.”
Su Ruochu stopped.
“No need.”
Chen Fan quickly explained, “I don’t mean anything else, I just…”
“No.”
Su Ruochu refused decisively.
Chen Fan had no choice but to compromise.
“Then at least let’s walk to the school gate together.”
Su Ruochu said nothing and turned to head downstairs.
Chen Fan smiled and hurried after her.
Once outside the teaching building, seeing no classmates around, Su Ruochu quietly spoke.
“Thank you.”
“Your clothes…”
Chen Fan smiled.
“It’s nothing. Just give them to me next time.”
Su Ruochu lowered her head, blushing deeply, clearly embarrassed.
But it seemed she had summoned great courage and looked up at Chen Fan.
“How did you know?”
“What?”
Seeing Su Ruochu staring at him, Chen Fan immediately realized.
“Oh, you mean about your period.”
At those words, Su Ruochu glared fiercely, her pretty face burning with shame, wishing she could disappear.
Chen Fan teased cheerfully, “I’m your deskmate, I can read signs. Nothing about you escapes my notice.”
What he really wanted to say was, it’s no big deal.
Not only do I know your menstrual cycle, but I also know your height, weight, measurements, and cup size after you enter university...
Around this time in the previous life, with just one month left before the college entrance exam and under great pressure, Su Ruochu’s period came early.
Because she was unprepared, she stained her school uniform pants, causing a big embarrassment in class.
Cough, cough, Chen Fan seemed to be the loudest laughing at the time.
Recalling this, Chen Fan couldn’t help but laugh.
“What are you laughing at?” Su Ruochu suddenly asked.
Chen Fan was startled and quickly waved his hands.
“Nothing! I’m not laughing at you…”
Su Ruochu stopped walking.
“We’re outside the school gate.”
When Chen Fan tried to follow, Su Ruochu frowned.
“Don’t follow me anymore.”
Chen Fan scratched his head, “Actually, I live that way too.”
“Liar!”
Su Ruochu bluntly called out his lie.
“Chen Fan, let’s pretend what happened in class today never happened. I hope there won’t be a next time. Otherwise…”
“Otherwise, I’ll ask the teacher to change my seat.”
“Hey, don’t.”
Chen Fan quickly raised his hand, pledging.
“I promise there won’t be a next time.”
Su Ruochu gave Chen Fan a deep look before turning and leaving.
Watching her retreating figure, Chen Fan sighed with some reluctance.
It seemed he hadn’t left any good impression on his girl during high school.
She didn’t even give him a chance to get close.
Just then, Guo Shuai suddenly appeared from behind.
“Still staring? She’s already gone far.”
Chen Fan glanced at him irritably.
“Why haven’t you left yet?”
“Hehe, if I left, how would I see this great show?”
Guo Shuai looked at Chen Fan in amazement.
“Are you serious? You’re not really falling for Su Ruochu, are you?”
Chen Fan said, “Serious or not, I’m telling you, this lifetime Su Ruochu has to be and definitely will be my wife.”
“Damn! You’re shameless even compared to me.”
Guo Shuai cursed and then continued.
“But chasing her won’t be easy.”
“Everyone knows the class monitor is our class’s cold goddess. She always has a serious face and is serious about everything.”
“She cares about nothing but studying.”
“If you want to chase her, it’s like climbing to the heavens.”
Chen Fan glared, “I warn you, don’t badmouth my girl.”
“She’s a good kid who loves studying. Can she be compared to a slacker like you?”
“Ha, as if you’re not a slacker.”
Guo Shuai chuckled.
“I bet you won’t catch Su Ruochu.”
“If you do, I’ll eat shit standing on my head.”
“Stop trying to freeload food and drinks here.”
Chen Fan got on his bike.
“Let’s go.”
Guo Shuai followed, laughing and teasing.
“Actually, even if you catch her, it’s useless. High school life only has this last month left.”
“So what if you catch her? When she gets into a top university, there will be plenty of outstanding guys. Then you, Chen Fan, won’t matter at all.”
Guo Shuai’s words suddenly struck a chord.
Right, in the past life, Chen Fan barely got into a second-tier university, while Su Ruochu attended a 985 university.
If it weren’t for luck, there really would be nothing between them.
Chen Fan shivered, suddenly resolute, and shouted loudly.
“I’ve decided! I’m going to get into a 985! I want to go to the same university as Su Ruochu!”
Guo Hao seemed to hear the biggest joke.
He wobbled on his bike on the road.
“Fan Ge, if you get into a 985, I, Guo Shuai, will not only eat shit standing on my head, but I’ll add three pounds on top.”
“Ridiculous.”
Chen Fan was already tired of joking around with him. His eyes fixed firmly on the road ahead.
Silently, he made a vow in his heart.
This time, he must get into the same university as Ruochu.
