Chapter 3 Pure and Innocent School Beauty
Ye Yixian didn't know Lu Yuan at all, and the two had no connection whatsoever.
Lu Yuan appeared out of nowhere and even brought her a school uniform; something seemed off about him.
Lu Yuan naturally understood Ye Yixian's unease, but for now, she had to accept this kindness.
Because this was the only way she could get rid of being punished by standing in the corner.
Otherwise, she would have to stand here for the entire morning.
Regardless of whether she was attentive to her studies or not, no one would willingly find themselves in such an embarrassing and awkward situation.
"Don't worry, it's brand new." Lu Yuan smiled faintly.
This jacket was just unpacked by Gao Zhe today. Even though it's only been worn once, it's practically brand new.
With the Dean of Students, Zhang Dabiao, watching closely, Ye Yixian was likely to be exposed if he continued to dawdle.
Lu Yuan didn't really understand Ye Yixian. He only vaguely felt that she wasn't a bad person at heart, but whether she could understand the current situation was unknown.
Fortunately, after a brief moment of hesitation, Ye Yixian reached out and took the school uniform, draping it over his shoulders.
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhang Dabiao with a smile, "Director Zhang, Ye Yixian already has her school uniform, can she go back now?"
Zhang Dabiao looked at the two of them suspiciously: "Is this really her school uniform?"
Gao Zhe's size was obviously too big, and it fit Ye Yixian, who was just over 1.6 meters tall, very loosely and ill-fitting.
But who would bother to check whether the school uniform fits properly?
Lu Yuan nodded frankly: "Yes."
"How did you end up with her school uniform?"
As soon as Zhang Dabiao said this, the boys standing nearby immediately sensed the gossip and their eyes lit up as they stared at the two of them as if they were watching a show.
It's obvious that all they're thinking about are ambiguous relationships like puppy love.
For students of this age, it's hard to think of any other legitimate reason for a boy and a girl to get involved, besides this particular matter.
"Director Zhang, class is about to start. Aren't we allowed to go back?" Lu Yuan didn't answer, but instead gently urged.
Zhang Dabiao frowned, and finally waved his hand impatiently: "Go back, go back."
Just as the two breathed a sigh of relief and were about to leave, Zhang Dabiao suddenly spoke up again: "Wait."
Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian's hearts jumped again.
"Where are your pants? Why aren't you wearing your school uniform pants? That's against the rules too."
Ye Yixian subconsciously looked down at his faded old jeans, pursed his lips, tilted his head back and sighed softly, full of helplessness and annoyance.
Before she could react, Lu Yuan couldn't hold back any longer and said directly, "Uncle, are you deliberately making things difficult for me?"
"Uncle?"
Everyone was stunned. No one expected that the usually impartial and incorruptible Director Zhang was actually Lu Yuan's maternal uncle.
"Be careful, or I might tell my mom later."
"You brat." Zhang Dabiao was a little embarrassed because he didn't expect Lu Yuan to expose their relationship so directly. "If you do worse in this monthly exam, I'll have your dad deal with you."
"Who's afraid of who?" Lu Yuan seized the opportunity to grab Ye Yixian's hand and quickly fled the scene.
It was close to class time, and there were hardly any people on the road, making the journey back to the teaching building exceptionally quiet. Gentle morning light streamed in, and the shadows of the trees swayed softly in the breeze. Lu Yuan held Ye Yixian's hand as they jogged along in the warm morning air.
Ye Yixian gently pulled her hand away and stopped walking.
Lu Yuan was still immersed in the joy of his rebirth, his battle of wits with his uncle who was now the head of the teaching department, and seeing the girl he had been longing for. He forgot that he and Ye Yixian were not familiar with each other at all.
Ye Yixian stood in the morning light, the sunlight falling on the conspicuous tuft of light yellow hair in her bangs, making it shine slightly.
She took off her school uniform jacket and handed it back to Lu Yuan: "I don't know why you helped me, but I still have to say thank you. Thank you."
Lu Yuan looked at the school uniform handed to him, but did not reach out to take it. He just smiled faintly and said, "This is not mine. The original owner didn't want it. You can keep it to deal with the headmaster's inspection."
Ye Yixian looked at him with some skepticism for a while, and only after confirming that he didn't seem to be lying did she give up the idea of returning it and ask, "Then what do you want me to do for you?"
"What?" Lu Yuan was taken aback.
Ye Yixian said calmly, "You wouldn't help me for no reason, and I don't want to owe anyone a favor. So, tell me, who do you want to hit?"
"Who are you going to hit?" Lu Yuan was even more confused.
"Don't you need a thug?" Ye Yixian said calmly. "If you don't like someone and want to beat them up, just tell me their name and class, and I'll take care of it for you."
To be honest, Lu Yuan was quite surprised to hear such words from a girl.
But upon further reflection, it seems perfectly reasonable.
Ye Yixian was a problem student in the eyes of the teachers. He dared to confront even thugs outside the school, and naturally, he had his share of conflicts with people at school.
Violence was merely a disguise she used to protect herself.
Perhaps it was something she had experienced in the past that forced her to put on a ruthless and unapproachable demeanor, only in this way could she avoid being bullied.
Lu Yuan chuckled and shook his head: "Then consider it a favor you owe me. I'll come to you again if I ever need someone's help in the future."
Ye Yixian considered it for a moment and nodded: "Okay."
At this point, an awkward silence fell between the two of them.
Lu Yuan simply looked at her quietly, wanting to etch her current appearance firmly into his heart.
Feeling uncomfortable under his intense gaze, Ye Yixian stopped talking and turned to walk alone towards the teaching building.
Lu Yuan stood there, watching her back until she completely disappeared at the top of the stairs.
When he returned to the classroom, the teacher had already started the lesson.
Today's first class was English. The teacher was a young and beautiful woman, which fits everyone's stereotype of an English teacher.
This semester is mainly for review, and we're covering material we've already learned.
Lu Yuan quietly slipped into his seat through the back door. Gao Zhe, who had been dozing off at the table, immediately leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Brother Yuan, where did you go just now?"
"Me?" Lu Yuan smiled, "I went to play the hero and save the damsel in distress."
Just thinking about Ye Yixian's helpless yet stubborn appearance earlier made him feel a pang of heartache.
In his previous life, during the 100-day countdown rally, he did casually give a bouquet of flowers to a girl he didn't know, flowers that Xu Lingjing had originally refused.
At that time, he was in a state of confusion and didn't remember who the other person was. Looking back now, he must have just bumped into Ye Yixian. Her tuft of yellow hair was really eye-catching, so he casually stuffed the flowers into her hand.
It was an unintentional act, but Ye Yixian remembered it for many years.
Perhaps, that was the first bouquet of flowers she had ever received in her life.
This unassuming bouquet of flowers subtly bridged the gap between her and those glamorous girls, making her realize for the first time that she wasn't so bad after all.
"Hero saves the damsel in distress?"
Gao Zhe looked puzzled and subconsciously glanced at Xu Lingjing in the front row. "Wait a minute, isn't Xu Lingjing your only goddess? Besides her, who else could catch your eye?"
Gao Zhe had known Lu Yuan for many years and had never met anyone more devoted than him.
Lu Yuan is clearly not bad in terms of his own qualities, but he is single-mindedly devoted to Xu Lingjing.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on him; there are quite a few boys in the school who admire Xu Lingjing.
However, Xu Lingjing always prioritized her studies and rejected all confessions of love, which earned her the reputation of "pure school beauty," but in turn fueled the endless fantasies of boys who were just beginning to experience love.
