"Student Wu Yaoyao, please sign this activity record form."
Seeing Wu Yaoyao running towards me, I quickly stepped aside and nodded, trying to act as if we were not familiar with each other.
About two or three hundred pairs of eyes were all focused on Wu Yaoyao. If I didn't get out of the way quickly, I felt their gazes would kill me.
However, when I usually come to the Kyudo Club, Wu Yaoyao's reactions are much milder than today. Why is she so excited today? Is it because the weather is a little hotter?
"Tsk." Seeing my reaction, Wu Yaoyao turned her head away, pouted, and let out an inaudible "tsk."
Hey, I heard that.
But seeing her reaction, I finally figured it out. She wanted to take advantage of so many people watching and to act more affectionately with me. In this way, although it's not explicitly stated, as long as people see this situation, they will easily add fuel to the fire. The rumor will spread, and it will become a well-established fact.
It's really dangerous; I must not let my guard down against Wu Yaoyao.
"I don't have time now, let's wait for the signature on the form until after the performance competition." With everyone watching us, Wu Yaoyao, whose intention had been seen through by me, couldn't make too many moves. She could only pout, step on my foot with full resentment, and turn back to where she had just been shooting.
As long as she signed, then I could just go around and make a show of it before returning to the Student Union. Now, Wu Yaoyao refuses to sign out of anger, and I have to wait until the performance competition is over.
Watching Wu Yaoyao's stubborn pout from afar, I sighed.
"Hello, I am the president of the Kyudo Club from Second City High School, Lin Gu."
Just when I was thinking of finding a corner to squat and play with my phone, waiting for Wu Yaoyao's anger to dissipate, a young man wearing a kyudo uniform walked up to me.
This guy has a nice appearance, with delicate skin and tender flesh, which is the kind of screen-like face that nowadays female high school students like. Like the other people here, he is also wearing a kyudo uniform.
"Oh, hello. I am Bai Qiao, a member of the Student Union at Peony High School." I scratched my head in response. It was too embarrassing to say that I was the Vice-Chairman of the Student Union, who had just been given the cold shoulder by Wu Yaoyao.
"I see, Bai Qiao, you must like Kyudo as well, right?" Lin Gu took my hand on his own initiative and shook it warmly.
To be honest, I'm not very good at dealing with such outgoing people, but I can only grit my teeth and continue the conversation with him.
"Um, it's alright..."
If it weren't for my position, I wouldn't even come here.
"Oh, come on, please sit down." Lin Gu nodded in understanding and then pulled me, gesturing for me to sit down on the wooden floor.
Seeing his enthusiasm, I couldn't bring myself to refuse and had to sit down with him.
At the same time, I noticed a few gazes coming towards me. They were two or three unfamiliar girls who were playing with their bows while glancing at me.
Of course, they couldn't be watching me. These girls seemed to be from Second City High School, looking bright and charming, and they were most likely admirers of the handsome Lin Gu.
"Bai Qiao, are you also in the second grade of high school?" Lin Gu, seemingly unaware of their gazes, turned his face and continued talking to me after sitting down.
"Yes, that's right."
Since there was someone to chat with and pass the time, it wasn't so bad.
"Oh..." Lin Gu nodded, glanced at Wu Yaoyao, who was pulling her bow with a serious face in the distance, and tapped his hand as if he suddenly remembered something. "Hey, I remember Wu Yaoyao is also in the second grade. You two wouldn't happen to be in the same class, would you?"
"No," I smiled, "I'm not that lucky."
All the boys in the second grade were looking forward to the day of class assignment. Out of more than a dozen classes, there must be a chance to be in the same class as Tang Xin or Wu Yaoyao. But for me, it was the opposite. I didn't want to be in the same class; the farther away from them, the better - preferably in separate school buildings."That's true, those who were lucky enough to be in the same class as Wu Yaoyao in Senior Two really are fortunate." LinGu touched his chin, agreeing with my idea.
But if he said this, does it mean he also likes Wu Yaoyao?
"However, just now when I saw you coming in, Wu Yaoyao seemed to be very friendly toward you?" LinGu's eyes were full of teasing, "Since you two are not in the same class, you must be walking to and from school together, right?"
"The relationship between the two of us is just that of ordinary classmates. LinGu might be overthinking it," I twitched my lips, not expecting LinGu to have such keen observation to detect anything from our earlier interaction.
"I remember Wu Yaoyao lives in the northern part of the city, so you two must have chances to walk together after school, right?" LinGu persisted with curiosity in his eyes.
"No, Wu Yaoyao lives in the south of the city while I live in the north. It's impossible for us to meet going to or leaving school," I explained patiently.
What I said was true. There are two major roads leading to the school, one in the north and one in the south. My home is in the north, while Wu Yaoyao usually takes the southern road. Today, we just happened to meet at the intersection of these two roads, or rather, being ambushed by Wu Yaoyao.
I must clarify any rumors regarding my relationship with Wu Yaoyao, as people would talk, and hearsay could be very troublesome.
"Oh, I see." LinGu struck his palm with his fist, as if he completely understood, and then teased, "I thought you two knew each other already based on earlier."
Did he misunderstand our relationship? I sighed with relief, glad that I could clarify it.
At the same time, Wu Yaoyao came towards us with her bow and arrow and her archery uniform.
"Alright, my turn is coming up. I'll stop teasing BaiQiao for now. See you later," LinGu said as he saw Wu Yaoyao walking over, and then he stood up and nodded to me.
"Ah, see you later."
LinGu walked toward the target range. He met Wu Yaoyao halfway and nodded to her, but she just snorted and ignored him, walking directly toward me.
"Hmph!" Wu Yaoyao walked to the edge of the floor where I was sitting with a pout, raised her white foot, and kicked my leg. Then she adjusted her archery uniform and sat down next to me.
She still seemed mad...
"What brings you here, Wu Yaoyao?" I moved a little to the side.
"Cut the act, no one is watching us." Wu Yaoyao also moved closer to me, glared at me, and said unhappily.
I glanced around and found that no one was paying attention to this corner.
"Even if you want to take revenge, there is no need for such an act," Wu Yaoyao bumped my shoulder with her own and said with a pout.
"Huh?" I was confused.
What did I do?
"You don't know?" Seeing my expression, Wu Yaoyao seemed to understand something.
"Know what?"
"Earlier, when that guy was getting equipment, he deliberately touched my hand." Wu Yaoyao turned her face toward the target range and glared at LinGu's direction, gritted her teeth, and said resentfully.
