Chapter Seventy-Fifth: The First Friend of the Opposite Sex

  Within an hour, Liu Yifei and He Yuanyuan had finished the poster, but when Liu Yifei wrote those two characters on it, He Yuanyuan burst out laughing so hard that her stomach hurt, with a twisted expression like some earthworms crawling around.

  Liu Yifei himself couldn't help but laugh, remembering that his handwriting on the blackboard wasn't so bad when he was in school. But with the widespread use of computers in his past life, all materials were printed out, and except for occasionally signing his name, Liu Yifei hadn't touched a pen in ages. Even after being reborn and writing with a fountain pen every day, he had never written on a blackboard before, and this one attempt revealed his true abilities.

  "Your handwriting is too ugly, let me do it." He Yuanyuan pushed Liu Yifei away, still giggling nonstop. During this time interacting with Liu Yifei, she felt that Liu Yifei was quite impressive in everything, which made her overlook Liu Yifei's poor mid-term exam scores. Now looking at Liu Yifei's handwriting, she finally found something that made her stronger than Liu Yifei.

  Liu Yifei smiled and said: "Well, I'm just idle now, I didn't deliberately slack off."

  "I really didn't expect your handwriting on the blackboard to be so ugly, it's killing me! Don't get angry, I didn't mean to mock you." He Yuanyan wrote two more words and burst out laughing again.

  Liu Yifei wouldn't get angry, smiled and asked back: "Haven't you realized it before?"

  "Realized?" He Yuanyan's face suddenly looked a bit embarrassed, and she said in a low voice: "Sorry, I...I never even noticed what your handwriting on the blackboard was like before."

  Liu Yifei didn't expect He Yuexuan to say something so direct, but this was also one of He Yuexuan's lovely sides. She chuckled and said, "It's really a failure, the few chances I had to go on the blackboard in the past were all wasted."

  He Muyan also knew that her words were a bit hurtful, and Liu Yifei seemed to feel some guilt too. However, seeing Liu Yifei didn't take it seriously at all, she suddenly felt relieved, chuckled lightly, and said: "Who made you always look at me with such a sly expression back then? I got annoyed just by looking at you, so of course I wouldn't read what you wrote."

  Liu Yifei secretly wiped the sweat, and in his youth, ignorance sometimes really missed too many opportunities. He walked up to He Yuexuan's side and said, "So now I don't see that sly look on your face?"

  He Mu Yan turned her head to look at Liu Yi Fei, slightly tilting her body back, and nudged him with her elbow. "Can't you just stop staring at me with that disgusting gaze?" she scolded. Then, narrowing her eyes, she looked at Liu Yi Fei again and said seriously: "You seem to have changed a lot from before. I can no longer see that... annoying gaze in your eyes. Moreover, when facing me, you neither intentionally show off nor are clumsy, everything is so natural, which is why I'm friends with you."

  Although Liu Yifei's body had returned to that of a seventeen-year-old, his mindset was still that of a man in his thirties. When he looked at a beautiful girl like He Yuanyan, he naturally appreciated her, but the way he appreciated her was completely different from before. Having lived for so many years, Liu Yifei would not easily reveal his true thoughts and feelings like a real high school student would. Many of his innermost thoughts were deeply hidden away, and certainly not something that someone like He Yuanyan could discern.

  "Hmm... I'm truly honored to be your good friend." Liu Yifei smiled, neither showing surprise nor indifference.

  "You're certainly honored, among the boys, you're my first friend." He Yuanyan chuckled and said: "If this time's notice can't achieve the expected effect, I won't forgive you."

  Liu Yifei nodded and looked at He Yuexuan's slightly long smile, saying very seriously: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

  "What's more, you'd better give me a good assist and cooperate with me well."

  Two people chatted and laughed while working on the notice board. He Yuanyan's handwriting was elegant, and with some delicate small borders added, a brand new notice board was quickly created.

  He had finished putting up the notice, but He Yuanyan was a bit nervous. Liu Yifei chuckled and said: "Let's go out to eat something. We can't just wait here for someone to come see your notice. Besides, if you stand here, I'm afraid people will be looking at you instead of the notice."

  "Ugh!" He Yuanyan glared at Liu Yifei and punched him lightly. She also knew that what Liu Yifei said was correct, and the school cafeteria wouldn't be open on Sunday afternoon. Since they had both arrived early, they could only go out to eat now.

  In 1994, there were only a few good restaurants in the area. The location of the Fourth High School was slightly remote, so there were even fewer good restaurants here. There were only a few small eateries, and these small eateries wouldn't have many students coming to consume because, after all, three yuan could get you through the day at school, while eating out would cost five or six yuan, which wasn't something ordinary students could afford.

  Two people walked into a small eatery, the shop was filled with small square tables, on which were placed chopsticks and condiment boxes, the table surface was covered with a layer of plastic cloth, looking very simple. There were two tables of customers inside, but they weren't students. When Liu Yifei and He Yuexuan walked in, everyone took more than two glances at them. Liu Yifei was fine, but He Yuexuan was the kind of girl who really drew attention, no matter if it was from older or younger people, they couldn't help but secretly praise her.

  Liu Yifei thought He Yuexuan would frown at such conditions, but unexpectedly He Yuexuan sat down with great enthusiasm and said: "I'm treating you today, what do you want to eat?"

  This was quite unexpected for Liu Yifei, but it also increased his good impression of He Yuanyuan. At his age, he had a greater appreciation for girls, and naturally, he had more refined tastes. While beauty was important, the quality of a person's character was what Liu Yifei valued even more, and He Yuanyuan clearly did not disappoint him. She wasn't one of those spoiled, arrogant girls who were used to getting their way.

  He smiled and said: "Going out to eat with you, if I let you treat me, wouldn't that be too embarrassing for me? Let me treat you instead."

  He Yuanyan narrowed her eyes and chuckled, saying: "Then I'll give you a chance to show off, heh..."

  The boss here is also the waiter, a woman in her thirties walked over, didn't even bring a menu, smiled and said: "What do you want to eat? Our wontons are not bad."

  He Yu Yan immediately nodded and said: "Then let's have two bowls of wontons."

  "Alright, wait a moment." The boss replied and turned around to leave.

  "Are you just having two bowls of wontons? Don't you want to order anything else?" Liu Yifei asked with a smile.

  "In case I'm afraid of making you poor, you'll have to ask me for meal tickets later." He Yuerong smiled mischievously.

  At that time, we had meals in the school canteen, and there was no meal card. Everyone bought meal tickets first, then used the tickets to get food. This can also be said to be the last grain coupon.

  "I don't mind." Liu Yifei smiled.

  "Ugh!" He Yuanyan scolded and punched Liu Yifei again.

  In his past life, Liu Yifei saw many girls in their twenties still pretending to be innocent, batting their eyelashes at him and saying "I hate you" with a flirtatious tone. Although Liu Yifei also enjoyed it, he couldn't help but feel a bit disgusted. But when He Yuexuan said the same thing to him, he felt an indescribable comfort. The way she said "I hate you" accompanied by a small punch on his arm clearly indicated that their relationship was very close, allowing He Yuexuan to be herself and show more of her personality when they were together.

  There is also a kind of warmth and comfort between the two people, a feeling that is like an old bottle of wine, which gets better with age, more mellow and fragrant...
