Chapter 2 The Love Letter Incident a Few Months Ago
Chapter 2 The Love Letter Incident a Few Months Ago
In this still unfamiliar city, under this gray sky, with the hazy mountains in the distance and the rain, snow and cold wind lingering around me, how could I know what kind of heavy rain and bone-chilling coldness are in the heart of the person walking alone in the wind and snow at this moment?
A few months ago, when Chi Shu first faced the boy who handed him the love letter, he was still able to think rationally about his words.
But today, faced with Feng Yichen's tender words that had a different meaning, she was left with nothing but panic and helplessness.
I just don't know if it was because the "boomerang" in that storm stung her, causing her to have a stress reaction, or... simply because the person who confessed today was Feng Yichen.
In a daze, Chi Shu couldn't help but fall into the vortex of unbearable memories again -
***
During her three years of high school, because she and Feng Yichen were in the same liberal arts class and "happened" to be members of the school radio station, they naturally had more contact with each other than other people.
Chi Shu originally thought that it would be nice to spend his high school life in peace and contentment.
But what she never expected was——
On that ordinary afternoon before the college entrance examination, everything changed when a teenager came to the classroom door and invited her out with the help of the class monitor.
Chi Shu was stunned when she saw the pink envelope that was carefully kept and handed to her.
She was always able to write eloquently and speak fluently, but at this moment, her brain suddenly stopped working for a moment.
She wanted to refuse directly, but when Chi Shu saw the shy yet brave boy in front of her, who presented his love so preciously to her, she was suddenly speechless, not knowing how to put it so as not to hurt this pure and sincere love.
However, in this dilemma, she saw the familiar figure in the classroom, and her eyes met his unexpectedly.
So Chi Shu had the answer at that moment as if it had suddenly come to his mind.
She was about to speak when the pink envelope in front of her was suddenly pulled away by a sharp wind.
Then, a stern voice suddenly rang out: "Don't you have a tutor, kid? What time is it now? With such a busy school schedule, you still have time to hand out love letters here? These childish games, like playing house, not only delay your studies, but also affect other people's futures. What do you, a child, know?"
This extremely familiar tone made Chi Shu's body and mind tremble violently. As if his throat was strangled, he tried to stop her in a hoarse voice, his voice as thin as a mosquito: "Mom... please stop."
But obviously these powerless words had no effect on Chi's mother Ji Jinyi.
Instead, Ji Jin, who was standing behind Chi Shu, asked the boy opposite in a more serious tone, "What's your name? Come with me to see your homeroom teacher and talk to your parents."
As soon as these words were spoken, Chi Shu looked up involuntarily and saw that the face of the young man opposite him was getting paler and paler.
Finally, she took a step sideways and mustered up the courage to raise her voice a little. Unfortunately, only the three people present could hear her: "Mom, please stop talking. He didn't do anything and didn't affect anyone..."
Ji Jinyi, who was already stern in tone, became even more furious when he heard Chi Shu's rebuttal in surprise.
Ji Jinyi quickly glanced at Chi Shu, who was standing beside him with his head lowered, and then tore the pink envelope in half. "You dare to argue with me? If it really affects you, it will be too late!" As she spoke, she slapped the damaged and humiliated heart on the boy's chest...
The noise at the classroom door even alarmed the teacher who was about to come to class.
Looking at the terrible situation in front of him, Chi Shu felt only fear, helplessness, and embarrassment coming one after another. He felt extremely dizzy in an instant, and his ears began to tinnitus uncontrollably again.
All the sounds around her seemed to gradually fade away from her.
She felt as if she had fallen into a dark, dark ocean, unable to breathe. Her body was tottering like a small boat caught in a storm...
The class teacher, who rushed over after receiving the news, took everyone to the office for discussion. However, because Ji Jinyi was a member of the international school's board of directors, the class teacher was unable to handle the situation, so the only one who suffered was the boy.
After this unexpected incident was finally "properly resolved", Chi Shu sent Ji Jin out of the school gate, but received another warning.
Ji Jinyi originally came to take Chi Shu for a physical examination today. She came to pick him up after explaining the situation to the class teacher, but she happened to witness such a confession. However, in her opinion, this was just a "child's play" - childish and ridiculous.
Now that I’ve been delayed by such a “child’s play”, the time has passed and I have to make another appointment.
The mother and daughter stood face to face at the school gate, not too far away from each other.
The only difference was that Chi Shu still had his head down, while Ji Jin's posture was graceful and elegant, which was in stark contrast to her voice which was as cold as a glacier.
The tone was still as stern as ever.
The breath was cold, sharp, and carried a strong sense of oppression, causing Chi Shu to lower his head even more and find it difficult to breathe.
Chi Shu originally thought that Ji Jinyi had always been like this, but she had also seen Ji Jinyi chatting happily and smiling warmly with others at business gatherings.
Whether it is sincere or false.
But Ji Jinyi never gave her such gentleness, even a little bit.
Chi Shu has never understood why this happened since childhood...
At this moment, after finishing her important tasks, Ji Jinyi had already walked to the side of her custom-made Rolls-Royce Ghost, which was painted in a metallic midnight purple and British white. After taking the driver's seat, she slowly rolled down half of the window and warned Chi Shu again before leaving. She said in a very serious voice:
"Don't let me encounter any childish and ridiculous behavior again, and don't let me hear any rumors. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to let you go abroad directly, and I won't consider whether you can adapt."
And apart from this warning, there is still not even a gentle word of concern...
After watching the car drive away, Chi Shu walked in the corridor back to the classroom with tired and heavy steps and a dazed mind, but almost bumped into Feng Yichen who was looking down at her.
Chi Shu couldn't tell if that look was one of concern, anxiety, or something else. Just like in the classroom just now, that quick glance hadn't allowed her to discern the complex expression within.
But she suddenly wanted to cry, and her tears rolled down uncontrollably as if they had received an order.
Through tearful eyes, she vaguely saw Feng Yichen in front of her seemed to be approaching her and seemed to reach out his hand, but in the end he did nothing.
He simply asked softly and gently, "Do you want to go sit in the pavilion for a while? Relax?" His voice was so gentle that he was afraid of scaring her again.
At this moment, Chi Shu was very grateful for his kindness, but he could only nod silently with tears in his eyes.
Therefore, the two of them sat quietly on the bench in the pavilion, not too far away from each other.
Feng Yichen didn't say anything more, but carefully protected Chi Shu's self-esteem. He silently handed her tissue after tissue, and listened silently to her crying, which gradually turned from uncontrollable to low sobs...
When a clear and long class bell suddenly rang, it broke the indescribable depressing atmosphere and also startled the person who had been immersed in sadness.
Chi Shu raised his head from his curled arms and knees, with wet tear marks still on his face.
He just turned his head aimlessly and looked around, as if he was still unable to come back to his senses and think.
Feng Yichen's gaze fell on Chi Shu's red eyes, and then moved to her forehead, which had a slight red mark due to the pressure. After thinking for a moment, he reached out his hand to gently smooth the slightly messy strands of hair on her forehead, and then asked gently, "Are you feeling better?"
Chi Shu nodded.
So Feng Yichen asked again: "Then let's go back to class now, okay?"
Chi Shu nodded again.
She looked so cute that Feng Yichen couldn't help but chuckle.
The two walked towards the classroom together.
But when passing by the trash can, Feng Yichen gently took the tissues that were wet and crumpled by Chi Shu's tears from her hand, along with the tissues that she had used to wipe the chair twice, and quickly walked over to throw them away and then quickly walked back to her side.
As usual, every student in the classroom was shrouded in the pressure and busyness of mountains of books and seas of examinations, as if the farce had never happened.
Under such a gloomy situation, Chi Shu suddenly felt inexplicably fortunate.
Because, as long as she sits here, she can still immerse herself in the tactics of solving a large number of questions without distraction, and put all the panic behind her; as long as she sits here, she is just a student, and she is just herself.
However, Chi Shu also knew that something was different...
Therefore, from this time on, even though Chi Shu had realized her special feelings for Feng Yichen, she no longer dared to reveal it, for fear that such a storm would happen again.
Moreover, even if he just thought about it, if the person who was experiencing these groundless accusations was Feng Yichen, Chi Shu didn't even dare to imagine how sad he would be.
So there is no if, she will not let such if happen, she will not let Feng Yichen fall into the quagmire because of her, she just wants to see Feng Yichen bright and pure, without any dust.
Therefore, she carefully hid her feelings, not letting others see them...
So, she and Feng Yichen had known each other for a long time, but until Feng Yichen confessed his feelings to her today, she had no choice but to keep her feelings to herself. However, this also had the effect of blocking Feng Yichen's feelings from entering her heart.
As a result, she finally managed to pull herself away from the painful memories, but now she fell into deeper pain...
