Chen Yang stopped laughing and said, "Now you know there are people even more impressive than me! So from now on, treat me well and don’t act like I’m some fierce monster."
"Who’s acting fierce towards you?" Lin Xi pouted. "However, I do need to warn you, if you have something next time, don’t let that person deliver the manuscript again. I’d rather go myself, or else I’ll hit you."
Lin Xi raised her little fist, pretending to be about to hit him.
"Okay, okay, okay," Chen Yang pleaded. "Actually, it wasn’t me who asked him to deliver the manuscript yesterday. I had something to do, and he volunteered to help me out. I didn’t expect it would annoy Miss Lin."
Chen Yang chuckled.
Later, on their way home together, Chen Yang shared some information and jokes about that boy with Lin Xi.
The boy's name was Lu Chenyu. He was there to deliver the manuscript for the morning broadcast the next day on behalf of their class's publicity officer.
Their class's publicity officer was also a member of the student council’s publicity department. The school’s youth league had just reviewed the manuscripts for the morning broadcast and notified the publicity officer to quickly take them to the broadcasting station. However, the publicity officer suddenly had something come up and asked the most free person in class, Lu Chenyu, to run the errand.
Why is Lu Chenyu considered the most free person in class?
He could also be called the busiest person in class because he seemed busy every day but actually had nothing to do. His classmates nicknamed him "Busy Doing Nothing."
His parents worked in geology and were often away from home, frequently changing work locations. Therefore, he grew up without his parents around and was raised by his grandparents.
From elementary school through middle school, his grades were always average. Fortunately, whether it was small tests or the High School Entrance Exam, he managed to score just enough to get into key schools. As he puts it, he was "accidentally" admitted to key schools every time.
However, he didn’t get placed in a key class. Since he entered school by barely meeting the score requirement, his High School Entrance Exam score was nearly the lowest in his class. Thus, during the initial class officer election meeting at the start of school, he ran for every position from class leader to group leader but ended up losing all of them.
To this end, he even took the stage to give a speech and summary, expressing his willingness to serve his classmates. He stated that aside from the position of school committee member, which he felt he was not capable of handling, he could manage any other role.
He mentioned that he had strong independent living skills, having taken care of himself since childhood, which made him particularly capable of taking on the roles of class monitor and organizational committee member. His calligraphy and art skills were excellent, his thinking was active, and he had strong innovative abilities, so he was confident he could handle positions like publicity committee member or group secretary.
As he continued speaking, laughter filled the classroom, and even the homeroom teacher began to chuckle.
The teacher said, "Lu Chenyu, for now, it's best if you don't take on a class leadership role. Focus on improving your grades first. Also, I hope you can spend some of your extra time taking care of your grandparents and spending more time with them."
At the beginning of the school year, when his mother accompanied him to school, she had spoken to the teacher about his situation. His grandparents were elderly and lacked the energy to care for his daily life and studies; since they did not live nearby, she hoped the teacher would supervise him more closely. During his three years of high school, his main focus should be on studying. More importantly, now that his grandparents could not take care of him, there were times when he needed to look after them.
Mentioning his grandparents made Lu Chenyu feel ashamed; his expression darkened as he nodded.
Indeed, in recent years, his grandparents' health had deteriorated significantly. Before leaving, his parents advised him to return home early after school each day. Now, not only did he have to take good care of himself, but he also needed to look after his grandparents like an adult; his grandmother was no longer as robust as she had been a few years ago.
Although he did not win any class leadership positions, his enthusiasm for serving his classmates remained undiminished. Moreover, as he had stated during the election meeting, aside from consistently ranking among the top students academically, his abilities in other areas were indeed exceptional.
Therefore, shortly after the school year began, everyone noticed his various capabilities.
The result of recognizing his abilities was that although he did not hold any class leadership position, he was busier than any class officer. Whenever class leaders encountered difficulties in their work or needed extra hands, they often turned to him for help.
As a result, he became known in the class as a "Busy Doing Nothing" figure.
"He is just a Busy Doing Nothing guy in our class," Chen Yang chuckled.
"Hmph!" Remembering how he had been so smug and arrogant in front of her yesterday, it turned out he was just a guy ranked near the bottom of the class. Lin Xi couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction, "He really is not my type."
That day, although Chen Yang had told her Lu Chenyu's name, she didn't even have the interest to remember it. She thought that their last encounter was merely a mistake made by God when he dozed off for a moment.
Lin Xi was the darling of her era. At school, she had always excelled academically and was the favorite student of her teachers. At home, she had Father guiding her studies and caring for her, while Mama took great care of her and showered her with love.
From the day she started school, she rarely interacted with the mischievous and poorly performing classmates. She always felt that she was not on the same level as them.
Therefore, regarding Lu Chenyu, based on his performance that day and what Chen Yang had said, Lin Xi found him somewhat laughable.
She thought that apart from that day, there would be no further intersections in their lives.
So after chatting with Chen Yang about him, Lin Xi soon forgot about Lu Chenyu.
After all, someone whose name she couldn't even remember and whom she had only met once—especially in a way and image she disliked—Lin Xi certainly wouldn't keep this person in her mind for long.
Good times always seem to pass in the blink of an eye; April and May are the brightest seasons of spring but also the seasons that can easily fade from people's sight.
Before she knew it, it was the end of May when Lin Xi suddenly received a letter from Simple.
"This silly girl hasn't contacted me in a long time. Why is she suddenly thinking of me? I wonder if it's bad news or good news. Hopefully, it's good news!" Holding the letter that the class monitor had just given her, Lin Xi searched for a small knife in her stationery box while guessing why that straightforward and lazy girl would take the initiative to write to her. When she first arrived in Provincial Capital, Lin Xi had written three consecutive letters to her, but that girl only replied with a short note consisting of just a few lines. She said her language skills were too poor to write letters; every time she picked up a pen, she would just stare blankly at the paper.
