The Beauty Said She Has A Secret Crush On Me - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Zhuang Lu put on a baseball jacket, paired with a loose pair of men’s casual pants, and hummed a tune as she walked to the bus stop with her backpack. It was a clear, cloudless Saturday with crisp autumn air. The bus stop was packed with people, all in groups or pairs. Zhuang Lu, a solitary figure, didn’t feel awkward at all. Her plump figure squeezed past several sweet couples without any pressure. Just as she stopped, Bus No. 7 arrived. Bus No. 7 runs from Beijing University straight to the city center—the preferred choice for Beijing University students!

As soon as the bus stopped, the usually gentle, scholarly, and talented Beijing University students immediately shed their usual composure. A crowd rushed towards the door and successfully compressed together. At this time, the boy in the couples had to shield the girl, holding back the many hands pushing from behind, and Zhuang Lu was the most powerful of those many hands.

She stood like a mountain in the crowd, the people behind her completely unable to move her. Then, she extended her wicked large hand and unceremoniously pushed the person in front of her. Initially, she was pushing a scrawny boy. She felt pity for his frail physique and was about to retract her hand when she saw the boy turn back with a look of horror, scrutinizing her from head to toe. This kind of look was impolite and even rude, but Zhuang Lu had seen it countless times. It was nothing more than Holy cow, how did this person get so fat! or Holy cow, this person is so pitiful, what happened to them? Why give up on treatment?

Zhuang Lu subtly applied three points of force and finally successfully pushed the boy onto the bus. Then, the bus was full, and the doors closed!

Holy cow! Cow cow cow cow cow cow cow cow cow cow cow cow cow cow cow cow &%￥#@

Behind Zhuang Lu’s expressionless exterior, a rapid stream of thoughts flashed by: How did this turn into a good deed again…

Fortunately, another No. 7 bus arrived quickly. This time, the person Zhuang Lu pushed was a tall boy. As soon as Zhuang Lu’s large, fan-like hand touched the boy’s back, she could feel his thick and strong back muscles. Good feel.

Too many people were getting on the bus. Zhuang Lu felt her pants pocket, where her phone was, being touched. She quickly reached to check and accidentally brushed the backside of the boy in front of her with the back of her hand. Fortunately, her phone was still in her pocket.

Given that the difference between a push and a brush wasn’t too significant, and with skin as thick as Zhuang Lu’s, she just pretended nothing happened, watching the boy in front turn his head around.

Holy cow! Cow cow cow cow cow cow cow cow cow cow cow cow cow cow cow cow &%￥#@

The boy was handsome, with sharp features, defined eyebrows, and bright eyes. His gaze was gentle, and he seemed to just glance at Zhuang Lu without any malicious judgment or negative emotion. But Zhuang Lu couldn’t help but be excited! This was the senior she had been following for a while—Wen Zhuo!

Just as Zhuang Lu was thinking about whether she should flash a smile, Wen Zhuo calmly turned his head back.

Regardless of Zhuang Lu’s churning thoughts, she and Wen Zhuo successfully squeezed onto Bus No. 7. Wen Zhuo stood near the front of the back half of the bus, his arm resting on a railing. His tall body didn’t move an inch amidst the pushing crowd. Today, he was wearing a mid-length military-green trench coat, looking graceful and refined.

The senior is so handsome today too, still with that mysterious, cool yet gentle temperament. Before Zhuang Lu, who was close behind, could immerse herself in his beauty again, she saw Wen Zhuo look down and smile slightly, gently saying, “It’s not usually this crowded.” The next second, Zhuang Lu saw a head pop up in the space between Wen Zhuo’s body and the side of the car.

?

??

That head belonged to a short girl, probably under 1.6 meters. She had long, straight black hair with air bangs, colored contacts, false eyelashes, and a plump face, wearing a woolen suit and exquisite small leather shoes. Zhuang Lu had to admit, she’s so damn cute!!!

But Zhuang Lu felt slightly offended. When she first met Wen Zhuo, the campus beauty, Wu Nianxi, from her class, was right next to the senior. Wu Nianxi was much prettier than this little cutie. When she smiled, she was like the clean sky after the first snow, and when she didn’t smile, she was like a clear pool of water. The sight of her with the senior was a beautiful soul-shaking visual impact.

Zhuang Lu met Wen Zhuo at the library. For a while, she was particularly fond of the profound and mysterious topic of religion. In the second half of her freshman year, she began frantically borrowing books on religion, starting with China’s indigenous religions, then Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. One day, she was looking for a book on the history of Chinese indigenous religions but found it had been borrowed and not yet returned. The other two identical copies were at the Philosophy and History Department’s branch library, which was only available for students of that department—a big obstacle for Zhuang Lu, a student of the Liberal Arts Department!

Three days later, Zhuang Lu checked the library again. The book was still marked as borrowed.

Another three days passed. The book status was the same.

Another three days later. Still borrowed.

Zhuang Lu, itching to read it, endured another week, thinking that if a person uses two eyes to read, they should be able to finish the book in a little over a month. Then she excitedly ran over, confidently opened the system to check, WTF! Renewed!!

Zhuang Lu truly lost her temper. Fine, she wouldn’t insist on this book. She could read a different one! Then she searched for books related to the Dao De Jing and found over ten titles. After excluding some titles Zhuang Lu wasn’t very interested in, only five books remained. The first one she clicked on was borrowed, the second one was borrowed, the third one was borrowed, the fourth one was borrowed, the fifth one was borrowed. WTF!!!!!!

Just as Zhuang Lu was disappointed and about to leave the library, a tall boy walked toward her. The warm winter sunlight cast a bright, shiny white edge around him. His features became more distinct amidst the floating dust in the air, looking like he walked out of the sunlight, melting everything. At that moment, Zhuang Lu, who had always been dismissive of external beauty, felt a door to aesthetics open for her. Then she saw the books hugged by the boy’s companion: Annotations and Commentary on the Silk Manuscript of Laozi, Explanation of the Dao De Jing, New Interpretations of Laozi, and Laozi Said. These were the very books she had been desperately searching for! She eagerly followed the two boys, wanting to borrow the books the moment they placed them on the return counter.

But the handsome guy and his companion missed the return counter and went straight to the self-study room upstairs. They found a spot by the window, and Zhuang Lu, following them, was about to sit across from them.

The handsome guy’s companion flashed his big white teeth and said, “Sorry, this spot is taken.” As he spoke, he leisurely placed the Annotations and Commentary on the Silk Manuscript of Laozi on the desk.

Zhuang Lu looked at the companion, gritted her teeth, and finally couldn’t help but lower her voice and say, “Classmate, when are you going to return the book in your hand?”

The companion still flashed his big white teeth: “Sorry, I don’t plan to return the books yet.”

With the books right there, Zhuang Lu couldn’t care less about the extremely handsome guy beside them. “I’ve been waiting for these books for half a month. How about you lend me one to read? Here’s my library card. I’ll leave it with you. Jot down my phone number. When you need the book, text me, and I’ll return it to you. You can’t read all of them at once anyway. How about it?”

Zhuang Lu took out her library card. The girl’s photo on the card was just as chubby as she was, her features squeezed together.

The white-toothed guy didn’t even look and just smiled: “Sorry…”

But then the handsome guy next to him said: “She can’t read that many anyway.” Then he asked Zhuang Lu: “Which one do you want?”

“Any one, I’m not picky,” Zhuang Lu answered super fast.

The handsome guy was amused, the corners of his mouth slightly curved. His already handsome and refined face softened even more. He casually pulled out a book and handed it to Zhuang Lu. “No need for the library card or the phone number. Just return it before the end of the month.”

“Then you won’t be reading them?”

The handsome guy smiled slightly. “You return it, and then I’ll borrow it again.”

Zhuang Lu happily took the book and went to the next table, leisurely opening the book. She didn’t notice the white-toothed guy frowning and complaining: “This is information I painstakingly got from Nianxi’s roommate, and you just gave away the books I finally found? Nianxi will be here soon!”

No sooner had he spoken than the beauty appeared at the doorway.

Zhuang Lu was absorbed in her reading and didn’t notice, but Wu Nianxi walked up to her, lightly tapped her, and smiled as a greeting.

Then she sat down across from the handsome guy. Zhuang Lu received a double blast of beauty from the three people talking, proving that 1+1 truly can be greater than 2!

The handsome guy was like a camellia outside the window—a noble posture, not a captivating charm, enduring the cold without fading, yet blossoming in the spring breeze. Wu Nianxi was like a lotus flower amidst the summer lotus leaves—brightly blooming, gracefully emerging from the water.

Zhuang Lu had an elective class during the seventh and eighth periods and had to leave. She hesitated and hesitated again, then tore off a sticky note and very seriously wrote the word “Thank you” with a fountain pen. As a fat person with both brawn and brains, her frail, short father had forced her to practice calligraphy since childhood. Her handwriting was quite beautiful. She pushed the sticky note toward the handsome guy and then got up and left without any further hesitation.

She walked quickly; the distance from the library to the third-tier classroom wasn’t short.

Later, she just checked the campus forum and easily found out the handsome guy’s identity: Wen Zhuo from Beijing University’s Law School, a famously handsome campus celebrity.

What she didn’t know was that after she hastily left, Wu Nianxi only stayed for a while. She thanked him politely and distantly, then left with those books.

After Wu Nianxi left, Wen Zhuo explained to the white-toothed guy, Lin Yun: “The two of them are classmates. If you didn’t lend her the book, Wu Nianxi would have borrowed it.”

Lin Yun was stunned: “How did you know that fatty and Nianxi are in the same class?”

“It was written on her library card.”
