My Childhood Sweetheart Gradually Puffed Up CH.21
Chapter 21: She Is Just Mine…
In the afternoon, Wen Yu and Fu Chengque were singled out by Teacher Chen again.
Wen Yu became the focus of the class, a different reason every week. This time, the whole class knew the reason, so there were many more spectators.
Those closer to Xiao Gua, Fang Ling, and Lu Min quietly asked the three of them.
“Peng Hui, Peng Hui, is it true? Those two.”
“Fang Ling, is it true that Fu Chengque is really dating? With Wen Yu?!”
“Lu Min, tell us who’s chasing whom, the secrecy is well done, I had no idea…”
Several boys interjected unhappily, “Of course it’s Wen Yu chasing Fu Chengque, there’s no way Fu Chengque would chase Wen Yu… is he worthy?”
“He just got lucky, being in the right place at the right time.”
“Is it that Wen Yu pestered Fu Chengque so much that she couldn’t stand it and reluctantly agreed?”
With this statement, some girls were also upset.
“Ugh, Wen Yu is so different now, he’s tall and handsome, with outstanding grades. He’s not as childish as you guys usually are. How is he not good enough for Fu Chengque?”
“That’s right, and he’s talented too. Don’t you know about the class board last time? Wen Yu drew it, and it’s still up now!”
“His grades are better, his talent is higher than Fu Chengque’s, and he’s not bad looking at all. He’s definitely a match!”
The classroom was buzzing, with boys and girls taking different sides.
Interestingly, girls supported Wen Yu while boys supported Fu Chengque, each with their own arguments, creating quite a scene.
Xiao Gua and the others looked confused and collectively played dumb, “Which two people? I don’t know, don’t ask me.”
They really didn’t know how far those two had progressed…
It’s better to bury their heads in the sand like ostriches.

Wen Yu and Fu Chengque arrived at the office together.
Chen Xiongguo glanced at them.
“You’re here, have a seat.”
Seeing the two of them not moving, he added, “Do I need to invite you?”
After they sat down, Chen Xiongguo moved his chair closer, looking like he wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk.
“Tell me, what’s going on.” He glared fiercely at Wen Yu. “Wen Yu, you’re a man, speak up.”
“What do you want me to say, Teacher?”
“What do you want to say? Don’t you know what you did this morning?”
“Teacher, you’re mistaken. I woke up at 5:45 this morning, got ready by 6:02, then left. I took the bus to school and didn’t do anything else!”
Chen Xiongguo chuckled a couple of times, almost laughing out loud.
“You left home and that’s it, right? You learned to play dumb? What about after you left?”
“I bumped into Fu Chengque.”
“Is that what you call ‘bumping into’?” Chen Xiongguo scolded angrily. “You clearly planned it!”
From the information passed on by the students, Chen Xiongguo guessed that Wen Yu had gone to Fu Chengque’s house in the morning to wait for her to go to school together. As for why Wen Yu knew where Fu Chengque lived, that wasn’t important.
This “devious mind” really needed correcting; otherwise, a promising seedling would grow crooked.
“Mr. Chen, I really didn’t plan anything. I was just going to school as usual.”
Wen Yu still had a smile on his face, slightly guessing that Chen Xiongguo didn’t actually know that he and Fu Chengque were neighbors; it was all just a misunderstanding.
“You went to school as usual and ended up at Fu Chengque’s doorstep, right?!”
“Teacher, actually…”
“Don’t say anything else. Go back and write a self-reflection. You’re not allowed to do this again. As a man, I have to tell you some responsible words. A man must act upright, and even if you’re pursuing a girl, you have to be respectful. It’s not right to go all the way to someone’s doorstep, you know…”
Wen Yu saw that Chen Xiongguo was deeply mistaken, so he quickly interrupted and explained:
“Teacher Chen, Fu Chengque and I are neighbors.”
“…You young folks, think you have plenty of time, but actually… what?”
“Neighbors.”
“…”
“Live across the hall.”
“…”
“Grew up together since childhood.”
“…………….”
Chen Xiongguo turned his gaze to Fu Chengque, who hadn’t said a word, and at this awkward moment, she nodded slightly.
The forty-something man felt a hint of embarrassment.
He reached for his cup, tilted his head back, and caught the last drop of water.
“Ahem, out of water. I’ll go get some.”
As he filled his cup at the water dispenser, he stared at the spout without blinking and said, “So, it was a misunderstanding on my part. My apologies.”
“Wen Yu, I apologize to you. I was worried that you, as a promising student, might not be focused on your studies.”
“Well, since there’s no issue, then I can rest assured. Wen Yu, you can go back now. Fu Chengque, stay for a moment, I need to talk to you about something.”
Wen Yu smiled and said, “It’s okay, Teacher Chen. Oh, Teacher Chen, do I still need to write a reflection?”
Chen Xiongguo cursed in his heart, “This kid is doing it on purpose.” But he smiled on the surface, “No need, go ahead. As I always say, focus on the right path, your priority now is your studies.”
Wen Yu nodded and turned to leave the office.
At the door, he encountered a middle-aged woman with another girl in school uniform.
From behind, Chen Xiongguo shouted loudly, “Ms. Li, it’s okay, come in.”
The woman led the girl in uniform inside.
“It seems… somewhat familiar, this girl.”
Oh, I remember!
In my previous life, during senior year, the school organized an art performance, a cheering event for the juniors and sophomores to support the seniors. The seniors arranged one performance as well— a piano solo by a girl.
This was the only performance by the seniors, representing the entire senior class.
At that time, Wen Yu saw from the audience that Fu Chengque, as the female lead, performed a dance. Though the dance was a bit awkward, she looked stunning. It was this dance that indirectly changed Fu Chengque and led her onto the path of performing arts.
And according to rumors… Fu Chengque wasn’t the initial choice for the solo dancer, the original choice was…
Wen Yu looked back at the office:
Isn’t that girl just now?
Nie Xueling from Class 2.
So, in the original timeline, Fu Chengque really was pushed into the limelight.
And today, is this matter being discussed?
Then according to the situation, Fu Chengque will take it on.
She does have a background in dance. She used to perform in small programs before, but she temporarily stopped after entering the third year of high school due to the university entrance examination, which is also the reason why she was chosen for this.
According to rumors, this matter wasn’t pleasant.
This also led to a not-so-good relationship between Fu Chengque and Nie Xueling later on.
As for the details, Wen Yu, who was just a peripheral figure and a mere spectator, didn’t know much from his previous life. Maybe, in this life, he can ask more about it? It’s really intriguing.
When Wen Yu returned to the classroom, he was surprised by the mysterious atmosphere of Class 4.
From the moment he entered, a bunch of eyes followed him, and as soon as he sat down, a voice suddenly rang out in the classroom:
“Wen Yu, did you pursue Fu Chengque? She’s particularly hard to pursue, did you pester her!”
Before Wen Yu could react, another voice yelled:
“You guys are talking nonsense! Clearly, it’s Fu Chengque who pursued Wen Yu, she even gave him candy!”
Wen Yu: “…”
So, what’s going on?!
