Upper Volume 23rd Chapter: The School Draft of Sha Shan
Back home, the maid had already set up dinner for us. Seeing that the two kids were ignoring each other, I knew they must have gotten into another fight again.
It's strange that the young master was in high spirits when he went out, but after seeing each other, they were at odds with each other. Alas, today's children are really unpredictable.
The next day, when Ye Xin came to school, the letter was still quietly lying in her backpack. She said, sorry, Sha Shan, I didn't complete the task you gave me. I know Ye Xin couldn't have forgotten this matter, she just looked at her with a puzzled expression, tilting her head. She said she had originally planned to secretly hand it over to him on the stairs after school, but several boys were walking together with him, so she could only silently follow behind them until they reached the parking shed.
"Shanshan, did you know? At that time I was about to walk forward and give him the letter in my hand." Ye Xin started telling me everything that happened yesterday. "But someone's appearance stopped me in my tracks. Can you guess who it was? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed it either."
It was Huang Lian, that dead girl who I caught speaking ill of you with someone else in the toilet. I don't know how she still has the face to look for Dan Lanluo. She said to him, "Can we go home together? Trust me, I absolutely didn't tell the teacher what you told me." Dan Lanluo, we've known each other since childhood, you can't possibly suspect me, right?"
Ye Xin took a deep breath and continued: "I clenched the letter in my hand, hiding behind the pillar of the parking shed opposite them, but I clearly heard their conversation."
"I've never seen a girl as hypocritical and shameless, lying without batting an eyelid. If it wasn't for her revealing the secret, why would she be avoiding eye contact with me these past few days? It's because she knows I'm your deskmate. Sha Shan, I feel like Dan Lan is too kind-hearted to the point of being excessive, he doesn't even know how to hurt someone. I saw his eyes clearly writing 'refusal' and 'questioning', but in the end, he still nodded. And Huang Lu took advantage of his kindness in a despicable way."
"Shanshan, did you know? At that time I really wanted to go out and slap her hard for you. My teeth were clenched so tightly they made a cracking sound, and my fists were unconsciously clenched, even angrier than seeing Chengsheng walking with another girl, chatting and laughing."
I wanted to pinch her face, what is that skin made of, how can it be so thick? Then I forgot about sending the letter and turned back home with a belly full of anger.
Yexin said, "This afternoon I'll help you give it to him again, this time I guarantee the task will be completed." I shook my head and asked her to return the letter to me.
She looked at me in confusion, but still obediently pulled out the letter from her backpack. I asked: "Ye Xin, if your relationship with Cheng Sheng is discovered by the teacher, what will you do?"
"If someone exposes me, I'll get Cheng Zheng to find someone to beat her up so she doesn't dare come to school. In this day and age, it's normal for junior high students to have romantic relationships. At worst, the teachers will scold us, but as long as I deny it till death, what can they do to me?"
"But, Yexin, I've been feeling really tired lately. Isn't it a sweet thing for two people to like each other? I find that my relationship with Shan Lan is like a sour plum covered in sugar. Once the layer of sugar on the outside is gone, all that's left is the sourness and bitterness."
"You're not running a fever, are you? What's with all these absurd analogies? You and Dan Lanluo are together, and even I, your deskmate, can't help but feel a little jealous. And yet you're still over there daydreaming." My deskmate reached out to touch my forehead, wondering if I was overstimulated.
"Are you jealous too?" She asked herself as much as she asked him, wasn't it because she had already acknowledged him that she accepted his confession in the first place? He really was an excellent and simple-minded boy, it's just that too many things happened during this period of time, making the distance between me and Shan Lanluo a bit distant.
"Oh my, you're really unaware of the good fortune you have. As they say, 'onlookers see most clearly', and I'm one who has personally witnessed how much Sing Lan Yu cares for you. Compared to Cheng Sheng, Sing Lan Yu is a lovable and elegant prince, don't you feel very lucky? They say 'without experiencing wind and rain, how can you see the rainbow', only love that has gone through hardships is true love..." Ye Xin started spouting her usual avant-garde views on love again.
