Chapter Seventeen: The Mysterious Letter (01)

  The wind blows, the rain falls, these things are unpredictable. Although today's weather forecast is very accurate, it can only be predicted, it cannot control when the wind comes, from which direction, how many levels of wind power, nor can it control when the rain falls, how much rainfall, and how long it will last; Moreover, the weather forecast is not always accurate... Life is also like this, in the blink of an eye, lightning flashes, thunder rumbles, and storms change suddenly, making you unable to defend against them.

  Something unexpected came quietly. After the class exercise, Chen Haonan quickly returned to the classroom. Not long after, a large crowd rushed into the classroom, with people shouting from time to time, Chen Haonan was shocked at first, but he soon understood: it turned out that the cultural committee had sent a message.

  In the student letter management, there is a special system in Yanzhong Middle School. After the post office delivers the letters to the school, they are all stored in the Youth League Office and can only be distributed on Tuesdays and Fridays (usually after finishing class exercises). Only the cultural committee members of each class can pick them up. As a result, every Tuesday and Friday during the class exercise time, many students are excited and enthusiastic, and during this period, the cultural committee members of each class are very popular. There is only one idiom that can describe it well, which is "front and rear support".

  She sent her letter, they snatched their letters, but Chen Haonan didn't pay much attention to it. However, not long after, the entertainment committee member Huang Weiwei smiled and handed a letter to his desk - the letter was placed with its back facing up.

  "Could it be another letter from her?" Looking at the letter placed in front of him, Chen Haonan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He hastily flipped the letter over and took a look, and indeed, it was another letter from the girl who signed as "Yu Fei". He quickly put the letter away, using a book to press it down, and stuffed it into the bottom of his desk drawer.

  Since January this year, until the end of last semester, Chen Haonan would receive a mysterious letter almost every two weeks. He counted carefully and there were twelve letters in total. None of these letters had the sender's address, and the "sender" column on the envelope was always written with the three words "Yu Fei Ji". The signature at the end of each letter was uniformly "Your Yu Fei".

  When Chen Haonan first received the letter from "Yue Fei", he was indeed excited for a while - after all, every young heart will have its own restless moments. However, later on, such letters came almost regularly, and he gradually didn't pay much attention to them anymore. Especially after his father fell ill and was hospitalized, Chen Haonan had even less thought of indulging in those childish emotional matters. Sometimes when he received a letter, he would just smile faintly or shake his head with a smile, and some letters weren't even taken out to read until several days later.

  However, despite this, Chen Haonan still involuntarily collected these letters and stored them together... After a summer vacation, he thought everything was over, but the letter "Desire to Fly" arrived quietly again.

  This is the thirteenth letter from "Yue Fei", and also her first letter this semester.

  Finally, the bell rang for the end of the fourth class. After waiting for his classmates to go to the cafeteria for lunch, Chen Haonan quickly took out the letter from "Yu Fei". He carefully tore open the envelope, took out the letter, and slowly unfolded it:

  Hao Nan, dear Hao Nan:

  Hello! It's midnight now, the black world outside the window is exceptionally quiet, but my heart is stormy and thunderous...

  I don't know what to say to you now, but because I miss you and worry about you, I just can't sleep...

  Hao Nan, I'm sorry. Please forgive me for eavesdropping on your conversation with your teacher just now. Honestly, I didn't mean to - it's just that I ran into you in the hallway and was so happy to see you that I couldn't help but follow you from behind. I snuck outside the physics department office and listened in, wondering what you'd talk about. But then... I heard the news about your father being seriously ill...

  At that moment, I was stunned, my whole body trembling with fear, and tears flowed out uncontrollably - I was afraid of losing my voice, afraid of startling you, so I quickly ran out of the teacher's office building.

  All the way, tears blurred my eyes, thinking of you, thinking that you are suffering from physical and mental torture due to your father's serious illness, I felt a sharp pain in my heart.

  Why is God so unfair, why does God want to torture you like this, why are there such strange and bizarre illnesses in the world, why... what's the reason for all of this?

  I'm so angry, I'm mad at myself for not knowing about your father's illness earlier, I hate that I didn't pay attention to the changes in you since the start of this semester, and I'm even more furious that I can't be by your side right now, holding you tightly and facing all the storms together...

  Hao Nan, don't blame yourself too much, I know you've done a great job, and I also believe your father won't scold you. In his heart, you will always be his pride and glory. Really, you've done very well! Although many things can't be achieved in a short time, as long as you have the intention, that's enough. Because the "filial piety" in the depths of your soul is the most sincere! I think your father must feel your sincerity, and I also believe that your father's illness will recover soon...

  Starting from tonight, I will change the five-minute prayer time to ten minutes. I wish my dear Haonan happiness every day and peace. I also wish your father a speedy recovery!

  Hao Nan, don't worry, don't blame yourself, don't be lonely and sad, because my love will always be with you, forever and ever...

  Love Your "Wish to Fly" / 2002 X Month X Day Night

  As he looked at the letter "Desire to Fly", Chen Haonan's eyes became moist. Suddenly, he vaguely remembered the girl he had met in the corridor before entering the physics department office that evening, a beautiful girl with a special gaze...

  "Could it be her?" Chen Haonan couldn't help but mutter to himself. His mind was racing, as if he had returned to that night once again:

  The night is quiet, and the moon is also good.

  He jogged all the way to the teacher's office building, and on the leisure square, he couldn't help but stop his feet, looked up at the bright moon, and involuntarily let out a long sigh facing the full moon.

  Then he began to enter the teacher's office building. However, unexpectedly, in the corridor on the second floor, he accidentally bumped into a girl.

  Pretty girls always attract people's eyeballs, which is beyond doubt. She was pretty and he couldn't help but take a look at her. Although the corridor lights were relatively dim, he still saw her beautiful face clearly. Suddenly, he had a feeling of déjà vu.

  But he didn't think much of it and quickly moved his feet. However, as he walked past her sideways for a moment, he saw her eyes again, with a different kind of deep affection... But he still didn't have time to think more, and continued walking forward.

  However, she saw him and felt an indescribable joy in her heart. Watching him walk into an office, she couldn't help but feel curious, so she quietly approached the door. Seeing the words "Physics Group Office" on the sign, she couldn't help but think: Oh, he's come to find their class teacher...

  She stood by the window, tightly against the wall, with her ear tilted, listening carefully to the conversation inside. At first, she still had an inexplicable excitement and was laughing to herself in her heart: How did I find myself like a secret agent!

  But soon, she heard some extremely bad news: his father was seriously ill and had terminal cancer! Her mind went "boom" and tears suddenly poured out... Although so, she still tried her best to hold back, afraid that she would cry out loud. Finally, finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly left the teacher's office building in a daze.

  All along the way, tears blurred her eyes...

  Lying in bed, tears flowed slowly, but she never cried out loud. Finally, she got up and found paper and pen to write him a letter...

  At this thought, Chen Haonan almost saw the shimmering tears of "Yu Fei", slowly falling down her cheeks, one drop, two drops, three drops... finally all falling on the letter, falling into his heart - Chen Haonan couldn't help but shudder violently!
