Chapter 8: Whispering Among the JKs
The bus swayed from side to side, but Fu Chengque’s attention was always on her latest “task”.
[Task: Without hints, coercion, or inducement, bring the distance between you and “Wen Yu” to within 50 centimeters for over 5 hours.]
[Task Duration: 157h45m58s]
[Task Rewards: Charm +20, Comprehensive Learning Ability +30, Perfect Task Special Reward: Random Special Ability]
[Punishment For Failure: Comprehensive Learning Ability -20, Comprehensive Mathematics Ability -5]
[Good Luck!]
She only discovered this week-long timed task after waking up yesterday, and the requirements of the task…
For her to bring the distance between her and Wen Yu to within 50 centimeters!
What… what is this?
Is this system forcing her to do some embarrassing things with Wen Yu?
And it needs to last for 5 hours…
“Wen Yu… can he…?”
Fu Chengque thought, her face turning red.
But then she thought, 50 centimeters.
This doesn’t seem to require intimate physical contact, but more like walking together, just a little closer.
It’s so difficult.
Another high-difficulty task.
But the perfect special reward is actually a “random special ability” that has never appeared before. What if it’s something like “time reversal”? Wouldn’t that be amazing!
Anyway, let’s aim for a walk first and find a way to walk with Wen Yu.
As for the duration… she can try to find a way to cheat!
Fu Chengque has begun to miss the “era” when everything could be settled with just a few words or a kick.
Back to reality, Fu Chengque secretly glanced at the boy behind her.
This morning, she discovered an amazing fact from the group chat on her phone: Wen Yu can draw. He completed this bulletin board in just half a day, and… the response was very good.
Wen Yu can draw?
And he finished it in half a day!
When did he learn?
Why has she never heard anyone mention it before?
Fu Chengque originally thought that after reconnecting for half a year, she had already understood her childhood friend next door very well, but now it seems that she hasn’t at all.
She never paid attention to Wen Yu, not before, not now.
She rarely looked into his eyes, never observed his expressions, and certainly didn’t pay attention to his interests and strengths.
The shortcomings from before were remembered very clearly:
He was childish, as if he hadn’t grown up even in high school, still climbing trees in his first year;
He was sloppy, never cutting his long hair, Aunt Wen scolded him every day, yet he thought he was handsome with his dirty appearance;
***
Now, Wen Yu seems more mature. He cut his hair, grew taller, and became fairer.
When did he start to change?
Fu Chengque’s mind was in a mess. When she came to her senses, she was already at school.
Before she even reached the school gate, she saw a crowd of people there, including several students wearing uniforms from other schools.
Everyone was gathered around the bulletin board.
Fu Chengque quickly noticed that they seemed to be making wishes at the bulletin board!
She hurried over to take a look. What kind of rebirth did Wen Yu bring to it after the hard work was washed away by the heavy rain?
Curious, very curious.
Pushing through the crowd, she stopped and looked up:
Like an ink river, a comet streaked across;
Beneath the sea of clouds, the city, and a young man gazed into the distance.
***
Where There’s a Will, there’s a Way.
Fu Chengque murmured to herself.
As she walked towards the classroom, one thought filled her mind: Did Wen Yu really draw that? Is it true?
She wanted to ask him directly, but on one hand, she didn’t want to appear so direct and obvious, and on the other… he’s a bit famous now.
The first two classes in the morning were directly replaced by Teacher Chen’s continuous class. Then Lu Min, Fang Ling, and Wen Yu took turns to read their self-criticisms. After a few criticisms from Chen Xiongguo with a stern face, he praised Wen Yu’s excellent painting skills with a radiant face.
After class, everyone gathered around Wen Yu, chattering excitedly.
“Wen Yu, did you really paint that? Your skill level is so high… are you going to apply for an art major?”
“Wen Yu, can you draw a Hatsune Miku on my school uniform? Draw it inside.”
“I heard someone made a wish yesterday, and it came true on the spot…”
Fu Chengque watched from afar.
Peng Hui walked over with Fang Ling.
“Chengque, are you feeling better? We were so worried!”
“I’m all better now, sorry… I couldn’t make it on Sunday, which made you all have to write self-criticisms.”
Xiao Gua casually sat on a chair, “Hey, it’s fine. Did you see that? Old Chen’s face was all red. I was sitting in the front, and I could clearly see the hair floating on his mole.
I heard that a big leader came to inspect yesterday. They visited many high schools, and when they arrived at our school gate, they were like ‘hey!’ Their eyes lit up. After asking the reason, they praised the principal, those directors, and Old Chen one after another.
Hmm, Wen Yu is really good with words…”
Fang Ling added, “We really have to thank Wen Yu… I really can’t draw, I almost died.”
Fu Chengque was even more curious, “What did Wen Yu say?”
“He said that his painting ‘represents the blessing of Class Four to all the senior high school students in the school, representing hope, hoping that everyone entering the campus is moving towards hope,’ that’s what he said, right Fang Ling?”
Fang Ling nodded vigorously.
Fu Chengque was even more confused. Is this really Wen Yu?
In her impression, Wen Yu was not good with words, especially not daring to speak in front of teachers, elders, or even her.
This eloquence… Could it be that a demon has possessed him?
Oh dear, blame her for not being proficient in the art of capturing demons. Otherwise, she would have given the demon inside Wen Yu a beating to vent her frustration of being robbed of her meal ticket.
As Fu Chengque thought about it, she once again turned to her own golden finger.
Creating opportunities to get along should be the priority.
“Forget about that. We have a quiz coming up soon. How’s your review going?”
“I’m doomed.”
“Me too.”
“We still have a week left, so if we study hard, we might be able to raise our grades a bit.”
“I can’t do it.”
Xiao Gua leaned back and happened to see Lu Min coming over.
“Lu Min, your ankles are so slender and fair, I want to touch them, hehehe.”
“What are you saying?” Lu Min blushed and reached out to pinch Xiao Gua’s cheek, “Have you already been corrupted by your boyfriend? How can you say such things?”
“Cough cough cough! Corrupted? No way!”
Fu Chengque’s eyes lit up with curiosity, “Xiao Gua, how far have you guys gone?”
“We’ve reached above touching the ankles, probably up to the thighs.” Lu Min said.
“Not at all!”
Fang Ling held Fu Chengque’s face and made a strange sound, “Definitely at this step. Hey, Xiao Hui, can I kiss you?”
“Hahaha.”
“Hehe…”
The girls made a mess, and the topic started to become more and more absurd.
Fu Chengque, with a thin face, quickly straightened up, “Let’s form a study group and review together.”
Xiao Gua suddenly perked up, leaned in front of Fu Chengque, and whispered in a voice only the four of them could hear, “Oh~ forming a study group is fine, but I just want to ask one question.”
“You… go ahead.”
Fu Chengque began to feel flustered.
“Will Wen Yu be joining too?”
Fu Chengque lowered her head, remaining silent.
The three girls exchanged glances, and they all saw surprise and astonishment in each other’s eyes:
The most beautiful canary of Class Four… Could it be… experiencing a crush?
And that person…
Is it Wen Yu?
