Rebirth of a Girl in a Boys' School

Chapter 104 An Awkward Encounter with My Crush

At this moment, Lin Ruofei's posture was truly embarrassing. She was kneeling on one knee, her body like a tender blade of grass ravaged by a storm, leaning slightly forward, as if she were about to have intimate contact with the ground.

All of this was because he was too hasty when he climbed out of the window, and when he landed, he lost his balance like a kite with a broken string, which resulted in this strange kneeling posture that looked like he was possessed by a ghost.

From a distance, it looked just like someone who was hunched over, hiding their head and tail, and sneakily peeping into the toilet stall.

Lin Ruofei's body instantly stiffened like a sculpture. She straightened her back with difficulty, as if carrying a thousand-pound burden, and slowly raised her head...

Good heavens! The face that came into view was Zhou Jianfei! The moment their eyes met, Lin Ruofei's heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, and an indescribable sense of embarrassment surged into her heart like a tide.

At this moment, Zhou Jianfei was scrutinizing Lin Ruofei from head to toe with his sharp, hawk-like eyes. His gaze was like two piercing arrows, as if trying to pierce through her heart and uncover the truth hidden behind the matter.

"Oh dear! I absolutely cannot let my idol have even the slightest misunderstanding about me! He is like the sun in my heart, so high and mighty that it's impossible to look directly at him!"

Faced with this predicament, Lin Ruofei felt as if a swarm of bees was buzzing around in her head, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind like shooting stars.

Her heart pounded wildly in her chest like a startled rabbit, as if it were about to burst out of her throat. Time passed slowly, like a snail crawling along, and the surrounding air seemed to solidify into a heavy block of lead, making it almost impossible to breathe.

It's true what they say: the more anxious you are, the more likely your brain is to shut down. She racked her brains, trying to come up with a flawless excuse to successfully resolve this incredibly embarrassing situation.

After racking her brains for a while, Lin Ruofei, like a drowning person, struggled desperately in her mind. Finally, she grasped at a straw and opened her mouth, like a frightened parrot, and stammered, "Um... I... I really didn't do anything! It's just... my shoelace suddenly came undone, so I squatted down to fix it."

As she spoke, she deliberately bent down and pretended to fiddle with her shoelaces, looking exactly like the real thing.

At the same time, Lin Ruofei silently prayed in her heart, hoping that her clumsy performance would successfully deceive Zhou Jianfei and make him believe what she said.

“Look…” Lin Ruofei said, slowly raising her head. Her eyes were like those of a little deer full of expectation. Just as she was about to explain a few more words to increase credibility, she was surprised to find that Zhou Jianfei ignored her, turned around expressionlessly, and strode towards the bathroom door like a gust of wind.

Seeing this, Lin Ruofei was struck dumb and panicked. She shouted, "Zhou Jianfei, wait for me!" Before she finished speaking, she got up like a startled rabbit and ran towards Zhou Jianfei with lightning speed.

And so, the two of them, one after the other, hurried away like a swarm of bees startled by a sudden rush, leaving behind the awkward atmosphere and running towards their dormitory.

Time slipped away like sand in an hourglass, drop by drop. Lin Ruofei followed closely behind Zhou Jianfei, her heart pounding with anxiety, wondering if he had truly believed the fabricated excuse she had just made up.

Throughout, Zhou Jianfei kept his lips tightly closed, like a silent sculpture, not saying a word to Lin Ruofei. His deep eyes were like a calm lake, showing no emotion whatsoever.

Lin Ruofei stared at Zhou Jianfei's retreating figure, wanting to break the suffocating silence several times, but the words caught in her throat like a frozen stream. In the end, she could only dejectedly part ways with Zhou Jianfei like a defeated fighting rooster, turning back to her dormitory in a huff.
