Chapter 81: Cherish a Man's Tears (04)

  Maybe there are too many uncertainties in this world. While waiting for "Xīn Líng Xuān" to return, Chen Haonan encountered another thing.

  That afternoon, Chen Haonan didn't go back to the dormitory for a nap after lunch. He walked alone in the garden and then returned to the classroom. Who would have thought that as soon as he opened his desk, he was startled: a pink letter was placed in a conspicuous place, folded very neatly.

  What's going on? Chen Haonan was stunned, although most of his classmates had the habit of passing notes, but it was rare to do it so meticulously, and what's more, they used pink stationery! Usually, pink stationery was only used for one thing - love letters...

  Thinking of this, Chen Haonan was even more surprised! A kind of inexplicable excitement, plus a special curiosity, made him unable to bear it and quickly opened the letter. The letter read:

  Hao Nan:

  I'm terribly sorry, but for now, may I have your permission to address you in this way?

  Maybe you've never noticed me, but I've been paying attention to you for a long, long time: your words, your voice, your demeanor, your kindness, and your sense of justice... Everything about you has deeply infected me, moved me. I want to tell you, I want to say to you: I love you! Will you accept me?

  Lin Yufen on X month X day in 2003

  If it were in the past, if such a thing happened to any of his friends, Chen Haonan would have shouted "Admire!" three times upon seeing such a direct and straightforward confession. However, however, such a thing actually happened to himself... Before he even finished reading the letter, Chen Haonan's heart was already racing with excitement, he never thought that ordinary and unremarkable him would be so excellent in the eyes of beautiful Lin Yufei?

  Lin Yufei is a particularly pure and beautiful girl, as soon as her classmates mention her, they will immediately think of her fair and delicate face, she is the Snow White in the hearts of many boys. She has a very good relationship with Ouyang Yiweng, and the two often call each other sisters, so their brothers often compare them to the "Two Qiaos of Jiangdong" from the Three Kingdoms period...

  However, Lin Yufei is even more beautiful than Ouyang Yiweng, with a cold and elegant beauty, and she has both talent and artistic temperament. She naturally became the target of pursuit for many boys in the class, and even in the whole school. But Lin Yufei's personality is somewhat introverted, and she never easily talks to people, especially boys. Almost everyone who shows her love is made to feel embarrassed and humiliated by her.

  So, some people jokingly called Lin Yufen "Cold-faced Killer" and "Thorny Rose". As a result, many cool guys retreated in time, and they dared not approach her!

  Chen Haonan couldn't help but feel a little excited when he thought that Lin Yufei would write such a straightforward "love letter" to him. However, after reading the letter carefully again, he hesitated: Lin Yufei had always been proper and polite, and they weren't very familiar with each other, except for last year's birthday when she, Yier, and Qiu Ming accidentally bumped into him and exchanged a few words - so why would she suddenly write a "love letter" to this mediocre person?

  As he thought of this, Chen Haonan involuntarily shifted his gaze to Lin Yufei, only to see her seriously doing the questions, without a hint of anxiety - so, he coldly smiled and muttered to himself: "How is this possible, don't be ridiculous..."

  He shook his head foolishly, Chen Haonan suspected that some little devil was playing a prank on him, but when he looked again, the handwriting seemed to be Lin Yufei's... "Could it be that she's teasing me?" Chen Haonan couldn't help but think. Despite this, he was still particularly excited, after all, it was his first time receiving a "love letter" from a girl!

  He carefully read the letter again, Chen Haonan carefully put it between a book and stuffed it to the bottom of his desk. However, as soon as he covered his desk, a voice sounded behind him: "Chen Haonan, why are you so happy? Did you pick up 100 yuan or did some beauty say she loves you?"

  He was startled at first, Chen Haonan quickly turned around to take a look, and saw that the speaker was his deskmate Zhou Xiao Jian. He then let out a sigh of relief and said: "You little rascal only knows how to pick up money, I'm not as lucky as you, always walking in dog shit luck! And still got a pretty girl too, you bastard!"

  "Haha!" Zhou Xiao Jian burst out laughing and then said seriously, "Alright, alright, I'm not joking with you anymore. The English teacher is looking for you..."

  "What? The English teacher is looking for me? Are you kidding me?" Chen Haonan was somewhat skeptical of Zhou Xiaojian's words. After a pause, he added with a suspicious expression: "Can you guarantee that?"

  "I guarantee, why would I lie to you when I'm already full - just now, I came out of the dorm and ran into our English teacher, she asked me to call you to her office." Zhou Xiao Jian said with a swing of his head.

  Seeing Zhou Xiao Jian's serious expression, without any pretence, Chen Hao Nan's heart sank and he hastily said: "This is the end, it's probably because I messed up yesterday's English homework, 'Lao Wai' will definitely give me a lesson on ideological and political education..."

  "Don't call it bitter, 'it's either good fortune or bad luck, and you can't escape the bad luck'! You'd better hurry up, the 'foreigner' is waiting for you!" Zhou Xiao Jian said as he pushed Chen Hao Nan to his feet, not giving him a moment to think...

  He ran all the way and soon arrived at the English teaching and research office. Although there were several teachers chatting in the office, he couldn't see "the foreigner" - Mrs. Liu's shadow anywhere. He couldn't help but smile foolishly, shrugged his shoulders, and slowly backed out of the office.

  Just as Chen Haonan walked to the door, he saw English teacher Liu Wenyin carrying a large package and hurrying over from the corridor. Before he could speak, Teacher Liu asked: "Chen Haonan, you're here, what's the matter?..." She said as she entered the office.

  "Ah?" Chen Haonan was startled and quickly followed up, "Teacher, didn't you want to see me about something?"

  "Cough, cough..." Ms. Liu put down the things in her hand, picked up the cup and took a sip of water, but was choked by Chen Haonan's sudden question.

  "Teacher, are you okay?"

  "It's okay, it's okay......" After a long while, Teacher Liu finally caught her breath and said, "I wasn't looking for you...... Do you have something to tell me?"

  "No, no..." Chen Haonan was getting anxious, "Just now Zhou Xiaojian came to the classroom and said you wanted to see me about something, so I rushed over..."

  "Oh, is that so? But I didn't ask him to find you - did he deceive you?" Mr. Liu smiled and helped Chen Haonan think.

  "I must have been deceived by him......" Chen Haonan felt very embarrassed, and he quickly prepared to slip away. He hastily said, "Since you're fine, then I'll take my leave first!"

  "You go ahead, he must have cheated you..." Mr. Liu said with a smile.

  "I guess so! - I'll go first." Chen Haonan said and bid farewell to the teacher.

  Who would have thought that just as he walked out of the office, Liu teacher rushed out and called Chen Haonan: "Since you're here, help your teacher carry some things to the classroom..."

  "Good!" nodded his head, Chen Haonan followed Liu teacher into the office again.

  "This is the English test paper that was just delivered," said Teacher Liu, pointing to the large package she had just put down. "Can you help me take it to the classroom and also help the class representative distribute them?"

  Chen Haonan was taken aback for a moment, but he still smiled and said: "Okay, no big deal..." As he spoke, he picked up the package and walked away.

  "Be careful, it's heavy, be careful!" Mr. Liu hastily reminded.

  "It's okay, it's fine..." Chen Haonan shouted while running. However, after carrying a large bundle of test papers from the third floor of the teacher's office building, walking a considerable distance, and then climbing up to the third floor of the teaching building, Chen Haonan was exhausted and felt terrible. But Zhou Xiaojian was nowhere to be found, and he had to hold back his anger. With no other choice, Chen Haonan followed Liu teacher's instructions and distributed the English test papers to each student - he carried the papers and placed a copy on each person's desk.

  Just after sending, Zhou Xiao Jian slowly slipped into the classroom with a sly smile on his face. Chen Hao Nan was about to explode and was ready to give that kid a good scolding, but Zhou Xiao Jian suddenly pulled out a bag of snacks - as the saying goes "when you eat from someone's hand, your hands become soft, when you take something from someone's hand, your temper becomes short". Even with the biggest temper, Chen Hao Nan endured it...

  However, calming down, Chen Haonan thought of Lin Yufei's letter again. Whether it was true or false, he couldn't tell clearly anymore. In this era where truth and falsehood were intertwined, who could distinguish between them? He couldn't help but smile foolishly.

  Gradually, Chen Haonan forgot about the letter...
