Volume 1 Chapter 16: The Love Words on Rose Petals

  Unexpectedly, Ye Xin hadn't even helped me find out who Chou Chen was yet, when two boys came running in the afternoon, standing outside the window and shouting, "Who is Sha Shan? Come out for a moment." In just one day, two groups of people emerged, and their actions were all so high-profile and ostentatious. All the classmates in the class were curious and stuck to the window to watch, some even ran out of the classroom.

  I walked out of the classroom, and those two boys also asked, "Are you Sha Shan?" But this time I didn't say "I don't seem to know you" like I did in the morning. Instead, I directly asked them, "What's up?"

  When the two boys opened the black schoolbags they had prepared beforehand, everyone around them let out a "wow" as soon as what was inside came out, and they all started discussing it in hushed tones.

  Not even I expected that what they brought out was a bunch of gorgeous red roses, later Ye Xin helped me count them and there were exactly eleven, representing the continuation of love at first sight, wholehearted love. On the petals of the eleventh rose in the middle was written: I love you.

  No wonder they wanted to bring a black backpack, such an eye-catching thing would definitely be sent to the principal's office as soon as any teacher saw it. Everyone present that day admired the boldness of the flower sender afterwards. However, many girls said that this is what real romance and excitement are all about.

  "I don't want it." I naturally refused, taking this bundle of "hot potatoes", my days will definitely not be peaceful.

  "We're just responsible for delivering the flowers to you." The two boys shrugged helplessly, indicating they had no say in the matter. "If you have anything to say, go tell Chou Chen yourself." A large bouquet of roses was stuffed back into my arms, and the two of them waved goodbye and left.

  It's Ou Zhen again! But after receiving the love letters and roses he sent, I still know nothing about him.

  What kind of boy is he, to be able to come up with so many eye-catching moves? Even Ye Xin said that this mysterious boy named Qiu Chen was too crazy, who would confess on the first day and send both a love letter and flowers, making almost the entire grade know about it.

  I didn't dare throw that bouquet of roses into the trash can, if our class teacher saw it, I would definitely be subjected to severe punishment and never have a peaceful day again. So I gave it to my deskmate, no matter how she disposed of it after school, it had nothing to do with me, but I absolutely refused to accept flowers from other boys.

  Ye Xin said, "You'd better explain today's events to Shan Lanluo, lest he gets jealous. In fact, boys can be more petty than girls sometimes." But I think it's unnecessary, isn't explaining just making excuses? I don't even know what happened, and you want me to go talk to Shan Lanluo about it - isn't that ridiculous?

  I just wrote a note and asked Ye Xin to secretly pass it to Shan Lanlu, which read: Last weekend I followed Auntie's chef to learn how to make rice balls. I'll finish my homework at school early so that tonight I can personally make a "Sasha loving heart rice ball". Tomorrow I'll bring one for you to try, even if it tastes bad you have to eat it all! Then there was a bright smiley face. I believe Lanlu trusts me just like I trust him.

  The next day at school, Ye Xin couldn't wait to tell me all the detailed information she had asked from Cheng Sheng about Qiu Chen. She said, "Do you know that Qiu Chen is actually in the same class as Cheng Sheng."

  It's really a case of "searching everywhere, but finding it right under your nose". Actually, we've all seen him before. Do you remember that time when you accompanied me to Cheng Sheng's classroom? That boy who was sleeping on the last desk? It turns out he's Qiu Chen.

  Unfortunately, I didn't get a clear look at his face at the time, but how did he know you?" Her boyfriend also told her that their class knew that Chou Chen had been aggressively pursuing a sophomore girl recently, but they didn't expect that the rumored girl was actually me - Sha Shan.

  "Shā Shān, you mustn't agree to go out with that guy named Qiū Chén."

  "What are you talking about? You clearly know that I and Lan Lu..." Unable to bear her nonsense, I glared at her fiercely.

  "Even if there's no rule, you still can't agree to it. He's a guy who makes girls infatuated with him, really." Ye Xin this time unexpectedly went against her usual behavior, desperately trying to stop me from interacting with that boy named Qiu Chen.

  "If he's really that amazing, why haven't we heard anyone mention his name despite being in the same school for so long? There are many handsome guys around, but I only like one."

  That's because we live on the sunny side, how can the dark side of school let us see it easily.

  Moreover, many girls who know him are aware that he is not someone to be trifled with, so why would they be foolish enough to play with fire? Ye Xin's words were getting more and more absurd, even dragging in nonsense about light and darkness.

  "What on earth are you talking about?" I was completely bewildered.

  Ye Xin also knew that if she told me this, I would definitely think it was strange. But she was really shocked, after listening to Cheng Sheng tell her all about Chou Chen's affairs, including many things that only a few people knew, her mouth opened so wide that it almost couldn't close again.
