Chapter 198
Qin Zhao looked at her classmate across from her with teary eyes, and she saw the most beautiful girl she had ever seen in her eleven years of life.
The girl was exquisitely delicate, resembling a doll, and even in her school uniform, she couldn't hide the air of elegance that emanated from her.
With a smile on her face, the girl said, "Please take this."
Qin Zhao slowly reached out to take it, afraid that everything before her was just an illusion.
After receiving the tissue, Qin Zhao didn't imdiately wipe away her tears and runny nose. Instead, she couldn't help but keep staring at the girl.
The girl turned her head away but didn't stop Qin Zhao's actions.
Qin Zhao thought to herself that if she could be as beautiful as her, she wouldn't be afraid of other people's gazes.
From that mont on, Qin Zhao beca like a little follower, always trailing behind the girl.
She never even asked for her na; she learned it from others, that her na was Sheng Xi.
Sheng Xi ca from a well-off family and was the most beautiful girl in the class. Most of the boys in the class liked her, and the girls idolized her.
She was always surrounded by various people, so no one noticed Qin Zhao, the inconspicuous chubby girl.
Sheng Xi never spoke to her.
It seed like she had forgotten about her.
But Qin Zhao continued to follow her tirelessly.
Being by her side, basking in the occasional ray of sunshine she cast, made Qin Zhao feel warm...
The results of the first monthly exam ca out, and Qin Zhao ranked first in the whole grade, while everyone congratulated Sheng Xi, who ca in second.
Even the class teacher only symbolically praised Qin Zhao.
However, Qin Zhao didn't care at all about other people's attitudes at that mont.
She only hoped that Sheng Xi would notice her.
And indeed, her wish ca true.
After class, Sheng Xi said the second sentence she had spoken since the beginning of the school year to Qin Zhao, "Qin Zhao, congratulations on getting first place."
A smile blood on Qin Zhao's chubby face, "You know my na!"
Sheng Xi laughed and said, "Of course, you got first place in the entrance exam. You're so outstanding that it's hard not to notice."
Blushing, Qin Zhao gathered her courage and asked, "Can I be friends with you?"
Sheng Xi replied, "We were already friends."
From then on, their relationship beca even more harmonious.
Sheng Xi would have Qin Zhao accompany her for als and invite her to the library.
Because of Sheng Xi, gradually, so classmates were willing to talk to Qin Zhao.
When they ate together, soone would see that she only took a vegetarian dish and would give her so at.
This made Qin Zhao feel like she was blending into the group.
Of course, later she found out that her classmates were only being nice to her because of Sheng Xi's face.
This went on for two months.
Qin Zhao realized that she seed to be getting more and more attached to Sheng Xi.
For so reason, her heart would unconsciously beat faster when she looked at her.
In search of answers, she searched through psychology books in the library but found nothing.
However, on the way ho, Qin Zhao saw a book at a roadside stall with two won on the cover.
The title of the book was "Shanghai mories," and the tagline read: "Her and Her Story."
Qin Zhao used six months' worth of pocket money to buy the book.
She took it ho and secretly read it under the covers.
When she closed the book with tear-stained cheeks, she confird one thing.
She had feelings for Sheng Xi that were similar to those described in the book!
Qin Zhao decided to confess her feelings to Sheng Xi.
She thought that Sheng Xi, such a gentle person, would surely not embarrass her even if he didn't want to accept her affection.
With this in mind, Qin Zhao began to delve into ancient literature.
She wanted to use the most elegant and magnificent words to write a letter full of pearls and gems, expressing her feelings!
After a week of effort, Qin Zhao was satisfied with the final product.
Gazing at the words on the love letter, she silently recited them in her heart a hundred tis before solemnly placing it into an envelope.
She would always rember that day, October 25th, 3008.
During Chinese class, the horoom teacher announced that the autumn sports et would be held on October 30th.
The classmates cheered with excitent, and Qin Zhao took advantage of the joyful atmosphere to slip the letter into Sheng Xi's hand, who was sitting across the aisle.
Sheng Xi looked at Qin Zhao with surprise and asked, "What's this?"
Qin Zhao replied, "You'll know when you read it."
She added, "Take it ho and read it."
Sheng Xi smiled and agreed, saying, "Alright."
The next day, Qin Zhao observed Sheng Xi's reaction in secret during class and after class.
She saw that Sheng Xi behaved as usual, greeting her and asking her to do various things, but never ntioned the love letter.
This made Qin Zhao feel anxious and uneasy.
After three days of anxious waiting, Qin Zhao could no longer bear the tornt in her heart.
She pulled Sheng Xi aside in the corridor and asked, "Sheng Xi, did you read the letter I wrote for you?"
Sheng Xi turned away and looked at the building of the second-year students across the way.
After a long while, he finally spoke, "I read it."
Qin Zhao pressed on, "Then why didn't you reply to ?"
Sheng Xi calmly said, "If you want to know the answer, et
in the sports equipnt room tomorrow afternoon."
Qin Zhao imdiately agreed, saying, "Okay!"
On the appointed day, Qin Zhao deliberately dressed in her most beautiful clothes and wore the only pair of shoes she had without any holes. They were white sneakers that her grandmother had bought for her to use in the sports et.
Sheng Xi's seat was empty, and she didn't know where he had gone.
Counting the seconds and minutes, Qin Zhao finally made it to the end of the school day.
As soon as the bell rang, Qin Zhao hurriedly left the classroom and ran to the playground.
In the afternoon, many boys would be playing soccer on the playground, so the equipnt room wouldn't be locked until later.
Qin Zhao opened the door to the equipnt room and walked in.
The light inside was broken, and it was a bit dim.
She whispered, "Sheng Xi, are you here?"
No one responded. Qin Zhao was about to wait a little longer when suddenly, with a loud bang, the door was forcefully shut, and she heard the sound of it being locked!
In shock, Qin Zhao turned around and saw Sheng Xi's face through the crack in the door!
Qin Zhao rushed to the door and pounded on it, shouting, "Let
out! Sheng Xi, open the door!!"
Sheng Xi looked at her expressionlessly, and her female classmates beside her asked, "Sheng Xi, does Qin Zhao really like you?"
Another female classmate said, "I can't tell. Not only is she fat and ugly, but she's also a weirdo!"
To make matters worse, one of them held what appeared to be the love letter Qin Zhao wrote to Sheng Xi and read it out loud, saying, "Sheng Xi, I like you. You're like the sun in the sky, shining on everyone around you.
Because of your existence, I look forward to coming to school every day.
Thank you..."
Unable to bear it any longer, Qin Zhao covered her ears and shouted, "Stop! Please stop reading it!!"
That person didn't listen and kept reciting.
The laughter of the classmates drowned out Qin Zhao's voice.
Sheng Xi turned around and walked away.
In Qin Zhao's mory, the last scene she saw of Sheng Xi was her indifferent figure.
·
"After that day, you never ca to school again.
The teacher said you went abroad.
And I was mocked by classmates for half a year.
Fortunately, my grandmother helped
transfer to another school."
Qin Zhao's tone was indifferent, as if she was talking about soone else's story.
Indeed, that was the original owner's experience.
But as soone with complete mories, she could feel the genuine anger.
She continued, "After you left, for a long ti, I tried hard to forget you.
To walk away from that unbearable mory.
And I actually succeeded.
At least when I saw you appearing on the show 'Survival in the Ancient Wilderness,' it took
a while to rember that we had crossed paths."
Sheng Xi said, "So that's why you don't talk to
and always avoid ?
It makes
very sad."
Seeing Sheng Xi's seemingly unconcerned appearance, Qin Zhao couldn't help but frown and said, "You should answer my question now.
Why did you do that back then?
And why are you pretending to be close to
now?"
