Confession letter!
Tucked inside her political science book, the origami crane she held out in her hand was a love letter, a confession to her…
As Qin Yaxin recalled this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve upwards. She was smiling, yes, she was really smiling, but the smile looked a little silly. To put it more nicely, she was a little foolish.
She was laughing like a lovesick fool.
Soon, her thoughts returned to the day she discovered the love letter. To put it simply, after reading the letter, Qin Yaxin, out of a girl's reserve...
She did not follow the advice in the love letter that if she was willing to progress together with him, she should write back and put it in her pencil case or tuck it inside her political textbook.
The love letter was unsigned.
Qin Yaxin did not do as instructed.
Unexpectedly, on the afternoon of the third day after that, she still arrived at school, went into the classroom, and sat in her seat.
As I took out my political textbook from the desk drawer to prepare for the lesson, I saw a beautifully folded origami crane inside the pages again.
Just like when she received the first origami crane, Qin Yaxin quietly unfolded the origami crane. After reading the contents of the letter, she felt both disappointed and secretly relieved.
reason?
In his letter, the other party mentioned that not receiving a reply from Qin Yaxin meant he wasn't good enough, and that he didn't blame Qin Yaxin.
He also said that Qin Yaxin was his sacred goddess, and even if he did not receive a reply from her, he would still silently like her and wish her to make progress in her studies and meet a like-minded partner in the future.
Qin Yaxin was disappointed, undoubtedly because the flutter in her heart that had just begun had suddenly left her. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she no longer had to worry about the unsigned love letter.
Even if she guessed that Gu Xingchen confessed to her in that way, the letter was not signed. What if she guessed wrong? Wouldn't she be embarrassed?
Furthermore, Qin Yaxin felt that even if the love letter was written by Gu Xingchen, it was really not worth her dating someone who didn't even have the courage to sign his name when writing a love letter to a girl.
With Song Lan, her sister-in-law, guiding her, Qin Yaxin's vanity has long since diminished, and she now knows what she should be doing at her age.
--study!
She needs to focus more on her studies and not follow in her older sister Qin Yaqing's footsteps, foolishly letting a boy with ulterior motives lead her by the nose.
But despite her thoughts, Qin Yaxin didn't talk about what happened after school this afternoon. As she pushed her bicycle out of the school gate, she heard a familiar and pleasant male voice behind her.
When she realized the voice was calling her, Qin Yaxin felt her heart rate increase.
"Qin Yaxin, there are a few things I want to say to you."
"Is it here?"
"Let's go there!"
Gu Xingchen pointed to a locust tree on the roadside about several dozen meters from the school gate and said, "It won't take you much time."
"good."
Qin Yaxin nodded.
Gu Xingchen's home is in town, so he walks to and from school. Out of politeness, he said, "Let me help you push your bicycle."
"..."
Qin Yaxin paused for a moment, then shook her head: "No need."
Perhaps out of a girl's shyness, she glanced at the other person and immediately looked away.
"I... I wrote you two letters recently, one in total. Did you guess that I wrote them?"
Gu Xingchen's ears turned slightly red. His voice wasn't loud, but it was very clear to Qin Yaxin, who could clearly hear the nervousness in his voice.
She suppressed the strange emotions surging within her and gave a soft "hmm".
"Actually, I wanted to sign it, but I was afraid you would refuse, so I didn't write my name on it."
As Gu Xingchen spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Qin Yaxin. He portrayed the young man's infatuation perfectly—wanting to look but also worried about being discovered by the girl beside him.
A faint blush touched his fair and handsome face. It could be said that Gu Xingchen and Qin Yaxin looked remarkably alike at this moment.
—Shy!
The two stopped under the locust tree. Qin Yaxin's grip on the handlebars tightened involuntarily. Her lips twitched, and she said, "Is there anything else you want to say to me?"
The implication was that she had nothing more to say and had to go home.
Gu Xingchen naturally understood Qin Yaxin's meaning. He immediately abandoned any attempt to beat around the bush and said directly, "Qin Yaxin, I... I can't do what I wrote in my second letter to you..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yaxin remained silent for a long time.
"Is it that I didn't explain it clearly enough, right?"
After a long silence from Qin Yaxin, Gu Xingchen continued, "Qin Yaxin, I haven't received your reply. I originally intended to do as I wrote in my second letter to you: just watch you from afar, silently admire you, and wish you well..."
Her words suddenly stopped. Gu Xingchen mustered her courage, looked directly at Qin Yaxin, and said earnestly, "But ever since I put the second letter in your political textbook, I've regretted it, Qin Yaxin. I really regret writing you the second letter."
I don't want to give up on progressing together with you. Now, I sincerely ask you, are you willing to progress together with me?
His words were undeniably tactful, but the meaning he conveyed was crystal clear.
"I...I don't know."
Qin Yaxin's cheeks were as red as boiled shrimp. She lowered her eyes, avoiding looking at Gu Xingchen, because she could feel her face was very hot.
Without even thinking, she knew how red her face was. So, she shook her head and casually replied, thinking that she should leave quickly so that she wouldn't lose control. She nodded in agreement with what Gu Xingchen said.
"Don't you really think I'm not good enough?"
Gu Xingchen didn't give Qin Yaxin a chance to leave immediately. He stood in front of her bicycle and said, "We're still young, and we're only in our first year of high school. Trust me, after we graduate high school..."
I'll find a job right away, and then work hard to achieve results in the shortest amount of time, so you won't feel embarrassed to be with me.
“Gu Xingchen, my family is very strict and doesn’t allow me to think about anything else while I’m in school.”
Qin Yaxin's words sounded like a rejection, but in reality, it meant that now was not the right time for the two of them to date.
Gu Xingchen was stunned. After a moment, he reacted and smiled, "Then we can start by being friends, okay? Just ordinary friends, like at school, in our classroom. Don't pretend you don't know me."
"I don't."
When did she pretend not to know him?
"You have!"
Gu Xingchen looked aggrieved and said, "I transferred to your class and you've never spoken to me."
Qin Yaxin looked up at the other person: "Before today, you hadn't spoken to me at all!"
"I... I thought you didn't want to talk to me... Qin Yaxin, in my eyes you're like Chang'e in the moon palace, beautiful yet cold, but I like you just the way you are."
On my first day at this school, I noticed you immediately. My heart was pounding, and I really wanted to talk to you, but I just didn't have the courage to get close to you..."
