Chapter Twenty-Four: April Fools' Day
In April, it was already quite hot, but not stuffy. Sunlight streamed through the windows, making people feel warm and cozy.
As soon as You Suian stepped out the door, she was stopped by someone who looked like an unfamiliar face.
"Hello, may I give this to You Suian?" The other person's voice was quite pleasant.
You Sui'an was somewhat confused. This person didn't seem to recognize him, so why was he looking for her?
The person opposite him was fidgeting, her gaze was somewhat evasive, and her face was a little red, as if she was trying to suppress a laugh.
He was clutching a piece of paper.
You Suian's eyes were full of doubt, but she simply smiled sweetly and said, "Sure, how should I tell her? Who are you? Who gave this to her? Hmm... is there something you need? Oh, thank you."
She was so gentle and polite that the person opposite her felt embarrassed.
He said, "It's okay, it's okay, just give it to her. I'm leaving now."
Although the other person seemed gentle and polite, something seemed off about them; they were acting a bit suspiciously.
It's probably because they're trying to cover it up.
You Suian called out to him, smiling and saying in a good-natured manner, "I am You Suian."
The other person did not turn around.
Perhaps because he felt guilty, his steps became unsteady, and he quickly quickened his pace, almost running.
You Sui'an's interest was piqued. What was that mysterious thing? Who gave it to her?
She smiled, said "thank you," and left.
She returned to the classroom with a smile, and even pulled the curtains closed when she got back to her seat.
The sun was shining so brightly it was almost blinding.
“Dear Sui’an…”
You Suian found it strange from the beginning; no one had ever called her that before.
She glanced at the end again. There was no signature or date.
Is it some kind of weird letter?
She continued reading.
The letter writer claimed to be her elementary school classmate, but the more You Sui'an looked at it, the more something seemed off. It seemed... she was a girl?
After a barrage of effusive praise, You Sui'an noticed a sentence.
"I know I'm not good enough for you, but if I don't say these words now, I might never have another chance. I like you."
You Sui'an's pupils dilated in shock. Who was playing a joke? She thought for a moment, then realized, "Oh right, it's April Fool's Day."
There are very few elementary school classmates who went to the same high school as me; I guess it was some good friend playing a prank.
You Sui'an couldn't help but chuckle. Who could it be? It's so hard to guess!
Anyway, they weren't elementary school classmates.
She was curious when Yan Yuan would come to see her. But was she perhaps waiting for her to come to her?
Yan Yuan and she were classmates in junior high and went to the same high school, but she studied science and usually stayed on the second floor, so she rarely came upstairs. The two could only play together properly during holidays.
There were too many people at school, and they rarely bumped into each other on the playground, in the cafeteria, or in the dormitory, but the two remained close friends.
You Sui'an is clever and quick-witted, and Yan Yuan is just as full of tricks up his sleeve.
They are birds of a feather.
Watching her laugh so happily from behind, and holding a letter, Li Yunxing felt a vague sense of crisis.
Don't let your mind wander.
She'll be angry.
Li Yunxing lowered her head again and obediently did her homework.
You Sui'an waited and waited, but Yan Yuan never came to find her.
Could it be... that she guessed wrong?
In the afternoon, after You Suian and Tang Qingyue finished eating and returned to the classroom, You Suian found another small note on the table.
I don't know who threw it on her desk.
You Suian raised an eyebrow, thinking, "Is this some kind of TV drama?"
She sat down, rested for a while, and then started reading.
This seems to be a letter challenging the government? The handwriting is stiff and not very neat, like it was written by a boy.
Wow.
He said the girl he liked liked You Sui'an, and he felt that You Sui'an and she weren't a good match. They had nothing in common, so what could they possibly have to be together?
Tsk tsk tsk.
So melodramatic. It's incredibly melodramatic.
After admiring the scenery of You Sui'an for a while, he began to plot how to tease Yan Yuan.
Oh well, what she did was actually quite fun.
At the same time, Yan Yuan looked at Lin Song, who had delivered two letters for him, and felt a sense of disappointment and frustration.
"How silly. The first one requires you to find someone to write it for You Sui'an, and the second one requires you to go yourself. That's really strange. The first one should be written by a girl."
Lin Song smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's my first time lying, so I'm not very good at it."
Moreover, he didn't know why he was so unlucky; he found You Suian among dozens of people.
Yan Yuan felt like he was being targeted, and looked at him suspiciously: "Really?"
Lin Song said firmly, "Yes, really. Whoever lies is a dog."
Yan Yuan was convinced by his determined gaze and did not realize that she had already lied to someone.
Lin Song didn't know what was wrong with him. He was clearly very upright, so why didn't he feel guilty at all when he was deceiving Yan Yuan?
Although it seems like I've also insulted myself.
The flaws were so obvious that Yan Yuan felt You Sui'an had already guessed that this was the April Fool's Day gift he had prepared for her.
Ahhhhh.
Yan Yuan had originally wanted to see You Sui'an scratching his head in frustration; it would definitely be hilarious.
Now he'll definitely only be ridiculed by You Sui'an.
Yan Yuan glanced at Lin Song, who still maintained a good-natured demeanor.
He's so gentle and kind, but I feel like I could knock him down with one punch.
Yan Yuan ultimately didn't beat him up.
As if knowing what she was planning to do, Lin Song chuckled and stretched out his hand, palm up.
Yan Yuan blinked and reached out to pat him.
It wasn't heavy, but it made both of their faces turn red.
They parted at the slightest touch, seemingly close yet distant.
Yan Yuan suddenly looked up and saw Lin Song's gentle and refined face, and suddenly found him rather handsome.
Then her gaze shifted slightly to the side.
Ahhhhhh. Yan Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
You Suian stared at her with a half-smile, right outside the classroom door.
She averted her gaze like a thief, exchanged a few words with Lin Song, and then went to find You Suian.
"Oh my, you finally see me?"
You Suian didn't intend to tease her, but she unexpectedly witnessed such an amusing scene.
What a coincidence!
I have to tease Yanyuan a bit.
You Suian continued, "I thought my sister didn't even care about other people."
She even blinked her eyes as if she were a wronged man, as if Yan Yuan were a heartless and unfaithful man.
Yan Yuan couldn't stand her coquettish manner; it gave him goosebumps, so he quickly told her to stop.
"Stop, stop, stop, I love you the most, baby."
After she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and subconsciously turned to look at Lin Song.
Turning her head, she saw You Suian staring at her with a half-smile.
Ugh, what did she just do? Why did she have to stare at Lin Song like that?
Yan Yuan quickly changed the subject.
"You'd never guess, he wrote both letters."
You Sui'an didn't ask who "he" was, but just looked at her with a smile.
Yan Yuan's face turned completely red.
Oh no, now there's no way to clear my name, why are they bringing him up again?
Yan Yuan glanced at Lin Song with a wronged look, only to meet his smiling eyes.
She blinked at You Suian, signaling her to quickly skip the topic.
You Sui'an clicked his tongue twice, looked at her helplessly, and stopped teasing her.
Although I still felt like I hadn't had enough.
It would be bad if Yanyuan got angry. If we don't appease him in the next few minutes, we'll have to run down again for the next class.
Running down wasn't too tiring, but climbing back up was a different story.
Sigh, I'm still too kind.
I made a special trip just to eat dog food.
You Suian thought that after graduation, he would also invite Li Yunxing to come with him so that Yan Yuan would be envious.
However, Li Yunxing hadn't even held her hand yet.
He's shy and not very proactive.
The main reason is that Yan Yuan has always been carefree and might not think it's a big deal.
But I felt inexplicably ashamed when I visited Sui'an.
It wasn't like this when I pulled Tang Qingyue and Yan Yuan before.
"Hey, hey, stop thinking about how to mess with me."
Yan Yuan saw that she didn't speak and seemed to be thinking about something, so he quickly interrupted her, afraid that she would come up with some troublesome tricks again.
You Sui'an couldn't help but chuckle.
"Do you think... if I kissed you, would that person get jealous?"
You Sui'an subtly pointed to Lin Song, who was still watching the play.
Yan Yuan didn't need to turn around to know who she was talking about.
Yan Yuan stared wide-eyed in surprise: "Wow, then I'll go complain to Li Yunxing."
You Sui'an said calmly, "Then you have to climb to the fifth floor first."
Yan Yuan looked conflicted, clearly not wanting to climb that far.
Suddenly, an idea struck her: "Hey? But someone can go for me, hehe."
You Sui'an hadn't expected this. He was caught off guard and didn't know what to say.
I can only sigh and say, "Without shame, you are invincible."
Yan Yuan took this as a compliment and happily echoed it, returning the compliment to You Sui'an: "Indeed, you have inherited my style from back then. But you still need to practice."
You Suian chuckled and squeezed her fingers.
Yan Yuan then said, "I noticed you really enjoy reading melodramatic novels, so I made up a melodramatic story for you. Isn't it fun?" Yan Yuan stared at her expression, certain that You Suian would be very satisfied.
You Suian genuinely found it amusing, and smiled obligingly, praising her highly.
"That was really fun, I was laughing all day long," You Suian said, making Yan Yuan blush a little.
"Alright, I'm going now, class is about to start."
Yan Yuan smiled and waved goodbye to her.
You returned to Sui'an in high spirits, beaming with joy and smiles.
Li Yunxing was also a little curious. After all, the academic pressure had been heavy recently, and the whole class was rather gloomy.
You Sui'an didn't intend to hide it. He told Li Yunxing about it with a bit of a laugh.
Li Yunxing was stunned. They were both so mischievous, each one more wicked than the other, and both loved playing pranks. They were quite a perfect match.
Wow.
But are they still in such close contact now? Li Yunxing thought that Yan Yuan had rarely been in contact with her since graduation.
He asked out of curiosity.
You Sui'an looked at him like he was an idiot: "You're not happy even when I call you an idiot. Of course we don't keep in touch much since we're not in the same class. It's not like we don't hang out together anymore."
Then You Sui'an smiled smugly and said, "There are very few people like me who are so loyal."
Li Yunxing snorted, indicating his disapproval.
