054. Outsider
[Gain popularity +46 due to Shen Qingxu's shock]
[Gain popularity +38 due to Liu Ming's shock]
[Gain popularity +102 due to Zhang Ping's fear]
......
From the beginning, the system prompt that sounded in Lu Chen's mind basically never stopped.
In addition to the countless envy, jealousy and hatred, to his surprise, almost all the popularity values he received at this moment had turned into shock and fear.
To be honest, Lu Chen also couldn't figure out what the hell this sudden change of mood was.
At this moment, as the focus of public opinion, he just wants to get rid of the girl who is holding him like a koala as soon as possible.
Lu Chen looked down at Xia Zhu, only to see that she was still silently burying her face on her shoulder, not wanting to let go of herself at all.
What came from her body was the soft touch and the warm body temperature of the other party, and the fragrance between her hair and the faint body fragrance lingered on the tip of her nose, which made Lu Chen inevitably feel a little uneasy.
In desperation, Lu Chen had no choice but to close his eyes and quietly open his skills in his divine sense.
γCalm downγ
In an instant, a cold chill quickly ran down from the top of his head, and all his desires were swept away by the coldness in an instant, turning into nothingness.
β......β
When Lu Chen opened his eyes again, there was only ice-like indifference in his eyes.
"It's okay. β
After saying it lightly, he sighed lightly and patted Xia Zhu's back and said, "Okay, I'm going to return the utensils." β
"Hmph...... All right. β
Hearing this, Xia Zhu reluctantly let go of his hand, and then slowly peeled off from his arms.
Seeing this, Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, turned around and walked directly towards the student who collected the equipment.
When he walked to the place in charge of managing the equipment, a student saw that it was Lu Chen who came, and quickly praised him: "Classmate, you are so amazing." β
"Yes, you can actually fight with that Sun Yue, you really stunned me!" another student also complimented.
For them, Sun Yue is an invincible existence in the school tennis team, and now a newcomer has suddenly appeared, and they naturally want to boast.
In this regard, Lu Chen just smiled slightly and said, "It's over." With that, he handed back his wristband and racket to the students in turn.
After dealing with these things, he did not stop, but instead walked towards a quiet girl on the sidelines.
The noise around her continued, but her figure seemed particularly lonely in it, and she looked out of place with her surroundings like an outsider.
"Xiao Wen?" Lu Chen shouted in a slightly joking tone.
He had actually noticed her existence a long time ago, but he hadn't had time to get out of it just now because of this and that.
βοΌοΌβ
Hearing the shout, Wen Ruyu was stunned for a moment, and then quietly put the small towel back in her pocket.
Then she showed a faint quiet smile and said, "You are really still so powerful." β
Hearing this, Lu Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise, he walked up to her and said, "Have you eaten?"
Wen Ruyu shook her head, but in the next second, she hurriedly handed him the mineral water in her hand and said, "Let's drink water first." β
Seeing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he hadn't had time to drink water just now because of the competition, and his mouth was dry at this time.
"Thank you. β
So, he didn't refuse, took the water bottle in his hand and began to fill it.
The sweet spring water enters the mouth, and the thirsty throat is quickly moistened, and the whole person is much more refreshed.
After Lu Chen finished drinking, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "There is no food in the canteen at this time, let's go to the commissary to buy some bread to eat." β
Hearing this, Wen Ruyu nodded obediently, and then she pointed to Xia Zhu and said softly, "You haven't called her yet." β
Lu Chen smiled, and shouted with his hands like a megaphone: "Xia Zhu, your father called you home for dinner!"
Hearing the shout, Xia Zhu, who was still laughing with his friends, quickly came back to his senses and said, "You are so shameless!!"
"Xiaozhu, your boyfriend called you, go quickly. Seeing this, a friend of hers was busy joking, after all, they could see the scene just now.
In this regard, Xia Zhu's face was slightly red, and then she waved goodbye to a few girls, and then hurriedly ran towards Lu Chen.
"Wait for me!"
......
Because of the relationship between playing a few games, when everything was over, lunch time was already over, and even half of the lunch break was gone.
The three of them had planned to go to the store and buy a few pieces of bread and some snacks and drinks to fill their stomachs.
However, when they arrived at the commissary, they were stunned by the long queue in front of them.
Lu Chen: "Why are there so many people?"
Xia Zhu: "There's no way, there were too many people who came to watch the game just now, and they barely ate." β
Wen Ruyu: "...... Sorry, I should have bought you a little more bread to keep in stock. β
Looking at the lively commissary like a vegetable market in front of him, Lu Chen sighed helplessly and said, "You go find a place to rest first, tell me what you want to buy, and I'll go to the row." β
Hearing this, Xia Zhu said happily: "Then I want a pineapple bun!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something, and hurriedly took out a card from her pocket and handed it to Lu Chen: "Well, I will give you a campus card, I will treat you at noon today, just brush what you want to eat." β
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, he took the card and looked at the information and ID photos on it casually.
Wen Ruyu was embarrassed to let people treat, but at Xia Zhu's strong request, she still timidly asked for a "red bean bun".
"Let's buy three bottles of coffee, otherwise we won't sleep at noon, and we may not be able to carry it in the afternoon." Xia Zhu added.
Lu Chen nodded, and silently wrote down the things that a few people wanted to buy in his heart.
"Go find a place to rest. β
"Well, let's go to the staircase in front of the school building and wait for you, it's not only shady but also ventilated and cool. β
After Xia Zhu said this happily, he hurriedly pulled Wen Ruyu and disappeared into the teaching building area.
Lu Chen waved his hand in the direction they were leaving, and then walked to the queue area to wait, but as soon as he stood in the line, he heard a whisper nearby.
"Hey, wasn't that Lu Chen just now?"
"Yes, yes, it's him, Xia Zhu's boyfriend. β
"Damn! Looks ordinary!"
"Don't be sour, people swept a lot of old names on the tennis court, and they almost won against Sun Yue! β
Facing the curious and scrutinizing eyes around him, Lu Chen, who was used to keeping a low profile, felt very uncomfortable, and he lifted the stand-up collar of his clothes to cover his face, hoping to reduce his sense of presence a little.
However, it backfired, and after nearly fifteen minutes of suffering under the burning eyes of everyone, the team in front of Lu Chen was finally emptied, and it was his turn to buy something.
He first chose the bread and coffee that the two men named him to eat, and then after a little thought, he changed his card to buy some favorite snacks and drinks.
As a result, when he was about to turn around and leave after buying, a girl behind him suddenly stopped him.
"Lu Chen, wait a minute. β
Hearing this, Lu Chen looked back in some surprise, but found that the person was none other than Sun Yue from before!
She grabbed Lu Chen and said in a restrained tone: "Don't go, I have something to tell you." β
