Chapter 88
Chapter 88: Two People, Classroom, Trying Not to Laugh Together
This sudden sound caught Wen Yu off guard.
He really didn’t expect Fu Chengque to dare to respond like this to his provocation. For a moment, he didn’t know how to respond, so he just stared blankly at the girl in front of him.
The girl was still very beautiful, and lively.
After glaring at him fiercely, she lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushed even more. She was breathing quickly and slightly heavily, her cheeks moving as if she was gritting her teeth. Her fingers were also twisting the hem of her clothes forcefully.
From her gaze, Wen Yu saw dissatisfaction and embarrassment, and even some…
Determination?
Fu Chengque felt her head swelling and her chest pounding—
She regretted it!
Regretted it, regretted it, regretted it!
As soon as she opened her mouth, endless remorse began.
She really should have eaten that candy instead of barking like a dog. Even if she was half-salted to death, she could have at least maintained the reputation of being “trustworthy,” but now, learning to bark like a dog, if this got out, it would be a stain for life!
She pouted, feeling miserable. “Can we stop now…”
Wu wu wu, how could an Empress bark like a dog!
It’s too miserable!
I’m really too miserable!
Wu wu wu, I can’t go on living like this, being an Empress is really too hard!
The Empress…
Right, when I become the Empress, I should be able to erase everyone’s memory with just a flick of my finger!
Yes! As long as I become the Empress, with the flick of a finger, no one will remember any of her flaws!
Empress Chengque is perfect!
Ah!
The teacher hadn’t appeared yet, and the classroom started to buzz.
Fu Chengque gritted her teeth, turned her head to glare at Wen Yu, and whispered angrily, “Wen Yu, you can be smug now! One day, you’ll pay for this!”
But this expression only made Wen Yu suppress a laugh.
Fu Chengque became even more annoyed.
“Fu Chengque, what kind of light novel lines are these?”
“These are the original lines I created for Empress’s growth phase. What’s it to you if you don’t like them?”
“Hahaha, don’t bully Empress for being poor, huh?”
“Hmph!”
Fu Chengque turned her head away, her face puffed up.
Wen Yu felt elated, finding the situation quite amusing. Today was so interesting; not only did he get to eat the sweet candy given by Fu Chengque, but he also heard someone’s extremely “humiliating” cry. It was so satisfying.
This secret, he could keep it for a lifetime!
He looked at the “specially made candy” on the desk.
This candy must be terrifying, making Fu Chengque prefer to “woof” rather than eat it. He thought he’d better keep his distance.
He pushed the candy towards Fu Chengque, who gave him a glare.
Oh!
So defiant, still daring to glare!
Wen Yu immediately took out the genuine milk candy given by Fu Chengque just now, watching with satisfaction as Fu Chengque’s frustrated little face opened the candy wrapper in front of her. Then, in her face of horror, he tossed it into his mouth…
Wait!
Horror?!
In the next instant, a taste completely opposite to what Wen Yu’s brain had expected spread in his mouth—
Not sweet.
Extremely salty!!!
Like having a mouthful of salt blocks!
At the same time, a sour and acrid taste also exploded, instantly filling his mouth!
The strong saltiness and intense sourness mixed and rolled around, immediately blending into the saliva.
In an instant, Wen Yu felt his tongue completely stiff…
When his soul returned, he hurriedly grabbed two pieces of tissue paper from Fu Chengque’s desk and spat it out onto them…
This wave nearly killed him.
Fu Chengque apologized anxiously and quietly beside him:
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
“I’m sorry, Wen Yu, I think I accidentally took the wrong candy this morning…”
When adding lemon juice earlier, she accidentally put it back in the bag once. Although she took it out immediately, she thought she hadn’t made a mistake, but now…
“I’m so sorry!”
Wen Yu rested his head on the desk for a while. Upon hearing Fu Chengque’s words, he slowly turned his head to look at her, then shook his head slightly.
Fu Chengque also rested her head on the desk.
The two of them faced each other in this position.
Eyes locked.
It wasn’t until Chen Xiongguo, who was late, arrived with the lesson plans that they both burst out laughing at the same time.
But with Chen Xiongguo’s arrival, the Empress and her strategist had to restrain themselves.
So they both buried their faces in their arms, lying on the desks, trying to suppress their laughter…
***
During the break, Wen Yu sipped half a bottle of water and said, “I’ll remember this taste for a lifetime…”
Fu Chengque also grumbled, “And I learned to bark like a dog…”
They looked at each other again, and this time burst into laughter.
Meanwhile, their classmates were fooling around during the break, going about their daily routines. While the two of them had topics to discuss, they weren’t always conspicuous.
In the diagonally front, a pair of male and female classmates were also having their own story.
The boy held a candy that Fu Chengque had given out earlier, and the girl next to him asked for it. He generously gave it to her, and the girl’s eyes lit up with joy. But just as she was about to eat it, a figure rushed past in the aisle and snatched the candy from her hand.
The girl looked angry and chased after.
Like the wind, they ran past Wen Yu and Fu Chengque, circled around, and returned to their original positions, leaving behind a string of shouts and cheers.
Fang Ling patted Fu Chengque’s shoulder and whispered to the two in front of her, “Zhang Lu seems to like her deskmate, but I heard the boy who took her candy also likes her.”
Fu Chengque immediately widened her eyes and said, “Oh,” at length.
Looking back at the diagonally front, it felt like that area had turned into a stage illuminated by spotlights, full of stories.
Xiao Gua perked up her ears and leaned in, excitedly saying, “Who do you think Zhang Lu might end up with if given the chance?”
Fang Ling asserted, “It’s definitely her deskmate.”
Fu Chengque shook her head, indicating she didn’t know.
Wen Yu said, “The one chasing after him.”
Several people were puzzled.
Wen Yu explained, “So this is youth. Otherwise, what do you think adults reminisce about when they recall their youth, attending classes?”
He nodded ahead and said, “After so many years, everyone there will have regrets. Zhang Lu will regret not waiting for her desk mate, missing out on a youthful romance. The desk mate boy will regret being too reserved back then, missing the chance with a beauty. And the one chasing after will feel for a long time that Zhang Lu didn’t truly love him. This is the ending for most youth, and it’s where many people feel the most nostalgic and regretful in this period of time.”
Xiao Gua looked Wen Yu up and down for a while. “Wen Yu, how come what you’re saying sounds like you’ve seen it before?”
“No need to see. You can guess.”
Fang Ling teased, “So amazing. Then guess who our Chengque will be with in the future?”
