Chapter 36: Coolness is not something you can fake, it's something you have to put on.
"Where's Shu Zimo?" Qiao Anyu asked, counting the homework assignments as she returned from class. She found that his was still missing.
"It seems like he went up to the rooftop, sneaking around," Su Yuzhe said with a smile. "Do you want me to go call him down for you?"
"I'll go find him myself," Qiao Anyu said, not daring to trouble Su Yuzhe. She was about to leave when Yu Jiling grabbed her sleeve, excitedly pointing at the newspaper photo of Lu Yi and couldn't help but share her joy with Qiao Anyu: "Anyu, look! Lu Yi is so handsome!"
It seems that Tang Yuxin's incident didn't leave much of an impression on this girl. Maybe because she was a lively and cheerful person, she was also Lu Yi's super fan. Lu Yi was her spiritual food, and it was well-known that she would read every word about him in the newspaper, buy his posters, watch his TV dramas and movies repeatedly, and sing along to his songs.
Qiao Anyu usually glanced at the entertainment news to see what rumors were being spread about Lu Yi, but today she was anxious to find Shu Zimo. The homework wasn't complete, and as the class monitor, it was hard for her to turn it in.
Qiao Anyu responded with a perfunctory "yes" before quickly running up to the rooftop.
When she arrived at the rooftop, she saw Shu Zimo and Qin Huan leaning against the railing, smoking and looking very pleased with themselves. They had snuck up to the rooftop to smoke!
Qin Huan finally changed his position, flicking off the cigarette ash, and said with a smile: "I think this girl is jealous. Young master, your peach blossom luck has arrived."
Shu Zimo turned to Qin Huan and said: "Pengzi, I'll go down and finish my homework before coming back up to keep you company." Then he walked over to Qiao Anyu's side and suddenly shouted loudly at her, scaring her into taking three steps back.
Qiao Anyu reacted by opening her eyes wide and staring at Shu Zimo. Shu Zimo was already standing with a smile on his face, teasing: "Your courage is still so small."
He stood with the sun behind him, and against the pure blue sky, he seemed to have a silhouette-like quality. Qiao Anyu suddenly realized that she had to stand on her tiptoes to be at eye level with him. Although it was backlight, she could still see his thick eyebrows, big eyes, and nose, which gave off an inexplicable sense of handsomeness.
Shu Zimo warned: "What are you looking at? If you keep staring, I'll dig out your eyeballs."
It was indeed Shu Zimo. Qiao Anyu thought to herself that she must have been seeing things earlier, or else why would she think he was handsome? He would never have Su Yuzhe's kindness and warmth.
