Chapter 74 Pen Pals with Ulterior Motives

After waiting for about ten minutes, four boys came from the direction of the cafeteria. There were streetlights on the school road there, so even though they were a bit far away, they could still see them clearly.

A short while later, four boys came over. Li Xiangxiang led the reserved Wang Weiwei downstairs and spoke to them first: "Shall we walk around the soccer ball or sit and chat?"

Zhao Wang, who was Li Xiangxiang's pen pal, glanced around and laughed, "Let's go, it's too cold sitting here. This will also help us digest our food."

No one objected, so they started walking along the dirt track.

Wang Weiwei, holding Li Xiangxiang's arm, was a little nervous. As she was about to leave, she secretly glanced at her pen pal. Seeing that the other person hadn't noticed her, she immediately turned back.

After walking for a short while, Li Xiangxiang let go of Wang Weiwei's hand, walked over to Zhao Wang's side, and started chatting and laughing.

Seeing this, Wang Weiwei could only awkwardly walk behind them, not wanting to be a third wheel.

"Are you my pen pal, my smiling angel?"

A slightly hoarse male voice came from beside her. Wang Weiwei turned her head and saw the man's red hair. She didn't know when he had come to her side. Wang Weiwei didn't dare to look at him and stared straight at the track in front of her. She nodded nervously and said, "Yes."

"Haha, hello pen pal! My name is Xiangyang, and I'm in Class 5 at our school, in the same grade as you!"

When Wang Weiwei heard him introduce himself, she was about to say her name when she saw him walk backwards in front of her. Seeing his smiling face, Wang Weiwei didn't know where to look, and her ears started to burn.

Xiang Yang looked at the other person's shifty eyes, gave a merciless twitch at the corner of his mouth, and then smiled and said, "Your name is Wang Weiwei, a good student in Experimental Class One. Hmm~, Weiwei, you are even prettier than I imagined, very cute!"

Wang Weiwei had never been told how pretty she was to her face like that before, and her face immediately turned completely red. Luckily, the lighting was off, so he probably couldn't see the strange look on her face!

Wang Weiwei gave an awkward laugh: "How do you know my name? Did Xiangxiang tell you?"

Xiangyang shook his head: "No, Li Xiangxiang and I aren't that close. She's Zhao Wang's pen pal, not mine. Why would I ask her if I want to know about you? It's better to keep your distance from the opposite sex, otherwise what if your girlfriend gets jealous later? I asked other guys."

If Gu Yin were here, she would definitely give him a big bottle of dish soap to remove the grease!

The innocent Wang Weiwei's heart fluttered when he mentioned the word "girlfriend".

"Oh, I see."

Xiang Yang turned around and walked to her side, the distance between them was only about a fist's width.

Wang Weiwei held her breath for a moment.

"But Weiwei, your pen pal is a student in Class 5, a poor student. Will you mind? Will you feel ashamed to associate with us? After all, you are a top student in the experimental class. I heard that students in the experimental class are the future pillars of the country and they look down on us poor students." Xiangyang sighed in distress after saying this.

Wang Weiwei never meant to look down on anyone. Hearing him say that, she immediately raised her hands and waved them, saying anxiously, "No, no, we're all students. Who can predict the future? I didn't mean to look down on you, and I don't think there's anything shameful about associating with you, really! I promise!"

Xiangyang, who had been troubled, immediately smiled: "So Weiwei is so nice, even better than I imagined! I'm relieved."

Wang Weiwei's face, which had just cooled down, flushed again. Did Xiang Yang have feelings for her? Otherwise, why would he always say such ambiguous things that could lead to misunderstandings? If he really did have feelings for her, should she agree to be with him? Before she could figure it out, Xiang Yang continued to speak.

"It's our first meeting today, and I've already made you wait in the cold wind for so long. Tomorrow after evening self-study, let's go to the cafeteria together and I'll treat you to a late-night snack as an apology! I just don't know if it will interfere with your studies. After all, I heard that your experimental class stays in the classroom for an hour after evening self-study before going back to the dormitory. I was curious before, so I went to take a look and saw a very pretty but aloof girl from your class scolding those boys who were talking. She was very fierce."

Wang Weiwei moved a little further away from Xiang Yang before letting out a sigh of relief and smiling, "Staying in class after class is voluntary, we don't force anyone. I rarely stay in class, except when I'm preparing for exams. The girl you mentioned is our class's vice monitor. It must have been because the boys were disturbing their studies that she gave them a heads-up. She's a very nice person, not fierce at all!"

Xiang Yang gave a sarcastic smirk, then said nonchalantly, "Oh, it's her. What's her name again? She's quite famous. We heard the news as soon as we transferred here that she's first in her grade and won awards in the city's essay and speech competitions. She's an amazing academic star!"

Wang Weiwei nodded: "Yes, the vice class monitor is very capable, but she is also very diligent. Every night she studies until it's almost time to turn off the lights, and only comes down when the teacher on duty urges her to. She also gets up very early every day. Sometimes when she can't sleep, she will open the window to let the streetlights shine in and read in bed! She works very hard, so we all think it's only right that she got first place!"

Having obtained the information he wanted, Xiang Yang reached out and tugged at Wang Weiwei's sleeve: "Stop talking about her. I don't want to know about her; I'd rather know about you."

"Lights are about to be turned off. Anyone still reading, hurry up and tidy up and close the door!"

Gu Yin was engrossed in watching when a loud whistle rang out from ahead. She looked up and saw it was the teacher on duty. She immediately nodded and said, "Okay, teacher, I'll be right there."

"I'll have to wash my feet in cold water again when I get back. When will summer finally arrive?" Song Pengfei sighed as he packed up.

Zhao Xiaomin nodded: "It is indeed very cold. There is no hot water at night. Your place is near the canteen, but is there no canteen there either?"

Song Pengfei shook his head: "No, I heard that the leftover hot water from cooking was all given to the seniors in the third year of junior high. Anyway, the third year is a treasure, while the first and second years are just trash~~ Let's go, it'll be hard to make the bed when it gets dark!"

The three locked the doors and windows, then left the teaching building and parted ways.

Back in the dorm, Gu Yin took the novel to Wang Weiwei's bed. Seeing that she wasn't there, she casually asked the person next to her, "Has Weiwei not come back yet? The lights are about to be turned off."

"Not yet, we haven't seen her. Isn't she with you?"

Gu Yin shook her head: "She must have gone to see her friend. I'll leave her novel here. Tell her when she gets back."

After saying that, she took her toiletries and went to the tap outside to start washing up.

After she finished washing, she saw Wang Weiwei running over from a distance.

Upon seeing Gu Yin, Wang Weiwei greeted her with a smile: "Class monitor, are you washing up? I'll wash up too!"

Gu Yin looked at the sweet smile on her face, blinked, and said nothing.
