Meeting Guo Yulin's inquiring gaze, Zhou Yunwan shook her head sharply: "No."
Guo Yulin was an experienced person, so it was clear to him that there was something going on between the two of them.
Chen Yanli has been on so many business trips, but he has never missed home as much as he did this time. In the past, he would just call to report safety and that was it, but this time he wanted to call once a day.
Moreover, every time he just chatted for a few words, he would ask Zhou Yunwan to answer the phone. If someone said that there was nothing between them, she would be the first one to not believe it.
But she didn't know how far the two had progressed. She stared at Zhou Yunwan's slightly red face and said with a smile, "Oh, so that's it. It's good that you didn't quarrel. If Yanli makes you unhappy, just tell your aunt and I will help you teach him a lesson."
"Really, really not." Zhou Yunwan smiled awkwardly.
Seeing that she was unwilling to talk, Guo Yulin did not force her. After all, they were still young, so he let them adjust to each other on their own.
Zhou Yunwan will be able to start school in two days, so Xing Zhaoling took her around the school.
The name of the school is Beijing No. 3 Middle School, which is adjacent to the staff housing compound. Almost all the children of the compound have attended this middle school, and Chen Yanli and Xing Maohui are no exception.
...
...
"The love letters that Brother Shen and my brother received back then were all counted by the basket. No one in the nearby middle schools didn't know their names."
Listening to Xing Zhaoling telling her about their romantic experiences, Zhou Yunwan felt more and more that Chen Yanli was deliberately deceiving her when he said that he felt women did not like him. He received baskets of love letters, and yet he still dared to say that he was not popular?
Humph, you liar.
After touring the school, school officially started on the third day.
Xing Maohui drove Xing Zhaoling to school and picked her up to go to school together.
Accompanied by Xing Zhaoling, Zhou Yunwan first went to meet their class teacher, completed the registration and formalities, and then the class teacher took her to the class.
Transfer students are already eye-catching, and coupled with Zhou Yunwan's outstanding appearance, they immediately caused an uproar in the class.
After Zhou Yunwan finished her self-introduction, she walked down from the podium and sat in the seat assigned to her. She packed her bag while dealing with the curious looks from her classmates.
She didn't bring much with her, just basic textbooks, some stationery, and canned fruit that Aunt Wang prepared for her.
The classmates were talking about the new faces in the class. The brave ones even took the initiative to talk to Zhou Yunwan. The noise was so loud that the head teacher had to shout to stop them.
However, not long after the silence, Zhou Yunwan was poked on the back again. She subconsciously turned her head and followed the direction of the finger pointed by her classmate sitting behind her, and saw a familiar face not far away.
"Yunwan, what a coincidence." Fu Ying waved at her slightly.
Zhou Yunwan frowned and thought for a long time before she remembered who the other person was. Wasn’t she the green tea girl who caused trouble at the New Year’s Eve dance party audition? I didn't expect to be in the same class with her.
Zhou Yunwan didn't remember the other person's name, so she gave a perfunctory smile and sat up straight.
Fu Ying noticed her indifference and her expression changed, but the classmates around her didn't notice this. Zhou Yunwan had just arrived in the class, didn't talk much, and looked rather cold, so it was difficult to establish a good relationship with her.
Seeing Fu Ying taking the initiative to greet Zhou Yunwan, they all asked Fu Ying if she knew her.
Fu Ying bit her lower lip and glanced at Zhou Yunwan's back, then looked at the classmates who cast envious glances at her. She was silent for two seconds and said vaguely, "She and I are both from the family compound, and we have met a few times."
Fu Ying is quite popular in the class, especially with most of the boys, so she naturally becomes a channel for the boys to find out about beautiful girls.
There are not many classes at the beginning of the school year, and today is the first day. As usual, after reporting, we will do some cleaning and then leave school early.
After the head teacher has made the arrangements, the class monitor will take the lead in starting the general cleaning.
Students spread news very quickly, and it didn't take long for the whole school to hear that there was a beautiful transfer student in Class 7. Boys and girls from other classes were standing outside the windows to watch, and they all wanted to stare at her.
Xing Zhaoling looked at the crowds of people in the corridor, nudged Zhou Yunwan who was cleaning the windows with her arm, and joked, "Looking at this scene, I thought they were teaming up to attack our class."
Zhou Yunwan wrung the rag. She was used to this. Once the fresh breeze passed, everything would return to normal in a few days.
Having said that, it is still very difficult to wait for the novelty to wear off.
Every day when Zhou Yunwan arrived at the classroom, she would receive a drawer full of love letters, and sometimes even exquisite little gifts.
Although she always returned the gifts to the original owners and told them not to give them again, there were always one or two who would refuse to listen and insisted on giving them gifts. Seeing this, others would follow suit to avoid missing out on the opportunity to please the goddess.
After two days of peace, it started happening again.
As a last resort, she could only report the matter to her class teacher. Fortunately, the class teacher was also a sensible person and tactfully reminded certain people in class not to cause trouble to other students.
After this incident, there were obviously fewer people writing love letters and giving gifts.
After enjoying a few days of fulfilling campus life, winter passed and spring came, and March came with a noticeable rise in temperature.
On the first day of March, Zhou Yunwan had just gotten home from school, and there was no one at home except Aunt Wang who was preparing dinner. She was thinking about calling Shen Yanli after a long absence.
She missed him a little.
She and Shen Yanli have been very busy recently and haven't been in touch much. Counting the days, Shen Yanli's work in the Northeast should be coming to an end and he will be returning to Beijing soon.
Zhou Yunwan dialed the number left by Shen Yanli, and after waiting for a long time, the call was finally connected. However, the voice from the other end of the line was not Shen Yanli's, but a gentle female voice: "Hello? Hello?"
If Zhou Yunwan hadn't confirmed the number twice before calling, she would have thought it was a wrong number. She frowned and hesitated for two seconds before asking tentatively, "Hello, is this Comrade Li Jinning?"
Li Jinning was somewhat surprised that the other party could recognize her voice. After a moment's pause, she said, "It's me, but who are you?"
Zhou Yunwan was just guessing, she didn't expect it was really Li Jinning.
The hand holding the phone tightened, and the voice became more alert: "I am Zhou Yunwan, we met last time."
"Ah, I remember now. You are Yanli's sister, right?"
Hearing her intimate tone, Zhou Yunwan frowned, endured it, and asked tactfully: "Isn't Chen Yanli in the room? I have something to do with him."
When Shen Yanli first arrived there, they lived in a guesthouse. Later, the unit changed it for them to a vacant house in the institute, which was closer to the institute and had better heating.
The room allocated to Shen Yanli was previously occupied by the leaders of the unit, and its configuration was much higher than that of the guesthouse, and it also had a separate telephone, which was why they were able to make frequent calls before.
But how could Li Jinning appear in Shen Yanli's room? And you answered the phone for him?
