Chapter 212
On Sunday, Ji Wanmei received a letter from Lei Tingjun.
Everything was as usual. He wrote about his experiences at the Pingdong Transportation Team and the brick factory, and told her that he had successfully negotiated with the person who wanted to acquire the brick factory.
Ji Wanmei looked at him with a slightly relieved smile.
But at the very end of the letter, Ji Wanmei's gaze suddenly sharpened, and her beautiful brows furrowed.
In his letter, Lei Tingjun mentioned a female classmate from junior high school.
Ji Wanmei carefully read his two sentences before slowly folding the letter, and couldn't help but chuckle to herself.
The female classmate he mentioned clearly had ulterior motives towards him.
As a result, what she had ulterior motives for was interpreted by Lei Tingjun, a straight-laced man, as her attempts to create chance encounters were seen as her having ulterior motives towards the brick factory.
Actually, she had already thought about it when Ji Wanmei sent her seven thousand yuan to Lei Tingjun.
In the future, Lei Tingjun's career will definitely get better and better, and correspondingly, he will also encounter more temptations in the process.
These temptations include money, power, beauty, and so on.
For men, these are the things that are hardest to resist.
Of these, the easiest to come into contact with is actually women.
Few men in the world can resist the temptation of sex.
It's unlikely that Ji Wanmei will marry Lei Tingjun before graduating from university. So how will he deal with the temptations he encounters in the next three or four years?
This is a test for him, and also a test for Ji Wanmei.
How many couples in love have parted ways because they live apart for long periods of time, encountering temptations along the way?
Ji Wanmei thought that if she and Lei Tingjun reached that point, and he wanted to choose another woman, she would definitely not pester him, but would let go decisively and wish him well.
In his past life, Lei Tingjun had already saved her by sacrificing his future, career, and even his entire life's future.
Ji Wanmei couldn't be too demanding anymore; when it came to love, he had to be 'indispensable'.
They once had such a beautiful love story. When he needed her help and support, Ji Wanmei did her best. So, for the rest of her life, she could be at peace with herself and him.
Of course, this was just Ji Wanmei's pre-planned approach in case the worst-case scenario occurred in her relationship with Lei Tingjun.
Having experienced the hardships of her past life, she always likes to anticipate the worst possible outcome before anything happens, and then devise a solution.
But when things don't turn out that way, Ji Wanmei will work hard to maintain the relationship and trust him wholeheartedly.
Prepare for the worst, but make the greatest effort.
This is probably Ji Wanmei's style of doing things after her rebirth.
However, Ji Wanmei felt that Lei Tingjun's handling of this matter was surprisingly better than she had expected.
First, he immediately wrote to her to report that he had run into a former female classmate on such and such a day, at such and such a place.
Tell her in detail what this female classmate had done.
This one incident alone demonstrates that Lei Tingjun never intended to hide anything from her, which shows his upright and loyal attitude towards his partner.
He then wrote that he felt the female classmate had deliberately blocked him at the entrance of the township committee twice, perhaps with ulterior motives.
This shows that he actually realized that the female classmate had other intentions.
However, by writing this in the letter, he not only showed Ji Wanmei that he was already wary and cautious of that female classmate, but also that he had no intention of thinking about her in a romantic way.
This also indirectly shows that he has acted uprightly and honestly, without any crooked thoughts.
Ji Wanmei couldn't help but chuckle.
While Lei Tingjun might be considered clueless about romance, he handled this matter quite subtly.
You might call him slow-witted, but he did know to report it to her immediately so she wouldn't be upset if she found out from someone else later.
But Ji Wanmei felt it was necessary for her to let Lei Tingjun experience her attitude towards this matter.
So this time, her reply to him was more concise and straightforward than ever before.
Just two words: 【Read and approved.】
She replied to him with the letter.
***
Lei Tingjun was always in a good mood whenever he received a letter from Ji Wanmei.
Today was no different. He and a few fellow workers returned from delivering building materials at the Hongxing factory, and it was already very late.
"Brother Lei, another letter from you!"
Now everyone in the workshop knows that Lei Tingjun treats any letter sent from East China like a treasure, and he won't let anyone touch it.
Lei Tingjun took the envelope and saw that it was from Hua Dong. A touch of tenderness immediately appeared on his cold and dark face.
He went to the bed and lay down, slowly opening the envelope, not wanting to be too rough and tear the envelope and stamp.
He kept every letter Ji Wanmei wrote to him, and when he missed her, he would take out the old letters and read them a couple of times.
Lei Tingjun eagerly opened the letter, his gaze falling upon it, but he suddenly paused.
On the entire sheet of clean white striped letter paper, there were only two words: Read.
Lei Tingjun read it once, and then read it again.
Then he turned to the back of the letter and read it again.
That's it. He searched every corner of the entire paper, and there were only those two words, plus a period, and nothing else.
Lei Tingjun's mood immediately became unsettled.
He sat up abruptly from the bed, and because he exerted too much force when he got up, his head accidentally hit the bedpost with a 'thud'.
Lei Tingjun covered his forehead, his brows furrowed, clutching the letter in his hand, remaining silent.
One of the guys on the upper bunk poked his head out: "Hey Lei, what's wrong?"
Lei Tingjun said calmly, "This is none of your business. You're the one who's trapped."
"Oh..." The person shrank back again.
"Read" means "read".
"What does Meimei mean by this?" Lei Tingjun rubbed his head, looking quite troubled.
She replied to him, and although her usual style was concise, she never replied with just two words like this time.
Lei Tingjun couldn't sleep after sitting down. He lay on the bed, staring at the upper bunk.
After a while, he suddenly got up, got out of bed, and went to the bookshelf to find the Chinese dictionary.
He looked up the meaning of the word 'read'.
The meaning of “已阅” is similar to that of “已阅”, “知道了”, “暂未回答等”, and is similar to that of “嗯”, “哦”, “哎”.
Lei Tingjun's mood became even more unsettled after he started looking up words in the dictionary.
"Read" means she knows, but doesn't express her opinion.
Lei Tingjun wondered anxiously, "Could she be angry?"
Lei Tingjun couldn't stay in bed any longer. In the middle of the night, he turned on his flashlight and began writing a letter to Ji Wanmei.
In contrast to Ji Wanmei's concise two words, Lei Tingjun wrote a full two thousand words of explanation for her.
