Chen Qingshu felt wronged because he was slapped for having two long hairs stuck in his head.
He patiently explained, apologized, and pleaded, finally calming his fiancée's anger.
He brought his fiancée, her mother, and his own mother to the new house.
Wang Peng and Li Fang went out to eat, leaving only their luggage at home.
His fiancée wouldn't let it go, so Chen Qingshu could only wait for Wang Peng and Li Fang to return.
At this moment, his face was in great pain, but his heart was aching even more.
Being slapped in the face by his fiancée in front of his mother was not only a slap in the face for him, but also for his mother and the entire Chen family.
"Why do I have to marry Zhang Xiaoqing? Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged women are everywhere."
The thought suddenly popped into my head and wouldn't go away like a demon.
Chen Qingshu shook his head vigorously to dismiss the idea.
Love—I've loved Xiaoqing for so many years, how could I have such thoughts? It's really wrong of me.
...
Provincial Capital Experimental High School.
There was a noodle shop opposite the main gate. Wang Peng sat near the door, eating his noodles while keeping an eye on the school gate.
Li Fang tasted the noodles in the bowl; the taste was just average, neither particularly delicious nor unpalatable.
But my cousin took such a long bus ride, changing buses twice along the way, why did he insist on eating here?
Just then, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the school term.
Wang Peng immediately forgot to eat, put down his chopsticks, walked out of the restaurant, and headed straight for the school gate.
"Pengdi." Li Fang hurriedly stood up to pay the bill, but found that she didn't have any money in her pocket. She could only watch her cousin's back recede into the distance.
"What's going on?" she said helplessly.
I sat down again and looked at the half bowl of noodles my cousin had left, feeling helpless once more.
At the school gate.
Wang Peng stared intently at the students heading home from school, as if afraid of losing his wife from his previous life.
The original plan was to first establish a pen pal relationship with his wife, maintain contact through correspondence, and gradually become friends.
The result was only outward movement, with no inward movement.
He wrote ten letters in total. Starting from the fifth letter, he subtly asked his wife to reply, but she never responded.
The students at the Experimental Middle School were wearing identical school uniforms, which looked rather ugly. Some walked, while others rode bicycles.
Suddenly, a petite girl appeared in the crowd.
She was carrying a schoolbag, about 1.5 meters tall, with a ponytail, and very youthful features.
She doesn't look like a high school student at all; she looks more like a junior high or elementary school student. She is none other than Li Mingzhu, the wife who died young in her previous life.
"Wife." Wang Peng subconsciously took a step, then stopped abruptly a second later.
Li Mingzhu was walking home with a chubby girl when she suddenly felt someone was spying on her.
She subconsciously turned her head and met Wang Peng's gaze.
Less than a second later, she turned around and continued walking, her face flushed.
Suddenly, her arm was grabbed by her chubby best friend. "Mingzhu, Mingzhu, there's a handsome guy peeking at me."
The chubby girl gripped her clothes tightly and reached up to tidy her hair at her temples. "He's so tall and handsome."
Li Ming turned to look at Wang Peng again, "Qiuya, are you talking about that boy wearing a blue baseball cap and a denim jacket?"
“It’s him.” Li Qiuyue blushed with nervousness. “As soon as we left the school gate, he kept staring at me. I was so shy.”
“Mingzhu, I’ve never seen him at school. Do you know which class he’s in?” Li Qiuyue asked in a low voice.
“I’ve never seen him before either, he shouldn’t be from our school.” Li Mingzhu turned to look at Wang Peng again.
"Mingzhu, can you ask him which class he's in?" Li Qiuyue covered her face with her hands. "Please, go quickly."
"Go ask him yourself." Li Mingzhu didn't want to get involved. "Qiuya, don't think about those romantic things. Focus your energy on your studies."
"Hmph, fine, don't ask then, I'll go ask myself." Li Qiuyue mustered her courage and walked towards Wang Peng.
Wang Peng watched Li Qiuyue walk over, his head buzzing, realizing he had gone too far.
He turned and left, not wanting to leave his wife with a bad impression of being a womanizer.
"Classmate!" Li Qiuyue took off chasing after him.
She finally met a handsome guy who was interested in her, so of course she couldn't let him go.
At this moment, deliberately running away was not a good idea, so Wang Peng could only stop and turn his back to Li Mingzhu.
"Classmate." Li Qiuyue came up to him breathlessly, her face flushed. "Which class are you in? I don't think I've seen you before."
“I’ve never met you before either.” Wang Peng smiled. “I’m a high school student from out of town. I admire the reputation of the provincial key high school, so I came to visit.”
He's so handsome! His smile is so cool!
Li Qiuyue gushed, "Our school is amazing. Last year, six students were admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University, and five were admitted to Zhejiang University."
"So I've come to learn from their teachings," Wang Peng said. "Classmate, I have other things to do. Thank you for talking to me."
"You're welcome." Li Qiuyue quickly waved her hand. "How about we become pen pals? Writing letters can improve your writing skills."
"I am Li Qiuyue from Class 5, Grade 1. What is your name?" Li Qiuyue hurriedly took out her diary from her schoolbag.
"No need, I just came to check on Experimental High School." Wang Peng waved his hand. "Goodbye, classmate."
"No!" Li Qiuyue grabbed Wang Peng's sleeve. "Writing letters can really improve your writing skills. Let's improve together!"
Wang Peng was both amused and exasperated; this chubby girl certainly had a personality that dared to love and hate.
The moment the two started tugging at each other, it attracted a crowd of onlookers, with classmates casting curious glances their way.
Wang Peng didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he planned to just give him a random address and name to fool him.
Suddenly, I realized that I could try to find out about Mingzhu's wife through her.
