Chapter 1329: This Is Homework
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Bai Qingqing didn’t pay any attention to any of the boys in her class, because they simply didn’t catch her eye now that her sights were set higher.
But as the boy in front of her was quite handsome, Bai Qingqing had an indistinct impression of him. She even vaguely remembered being somewhat fond of him back then. But after her experiences in the beastmen world, those illusory feelings had vanished into thin air.
The more awkward thing was that she couldn’t even remember the guy’s name.
“You… is something the matter?” Bai Qingqing had no choice but to dispense with the name and ask gently.
Zhang Xin had his first love in elementary school, and now in senior high, he was already a “veteran in love”. Yet, this time he suddenly felt nervous. The subtle Oedipal complex in his heart that even he himself didn’t detect, made him sense that he shouldn’t be frivolous with the girl before him.
But since the arrow was already strung on the string, he could only brace himself and push through with it. Maintaining his usual demeanor, he held out a heart-shaped letter with a smile.
“This is for you.”
After saying that, he feigned relaxedness and left. Other than him, no one else knew just how furiously his heart was beating.
Bai Qingqing felt like she was struck by thunder. Holding the love letter, it took her quite a long while to snap out of her trance. And by the time she turned around, the other party was long gone.
Zhang Xin walked to the staircase corner, then turned his head and revealed a slight smile. That was a clean and refreshed vibe only youths could exude, and it was undoubtedly very attractive.
After which, he disappeared around the corner.
Bai Qingqing dazedly raised the love letter and read it. She then looked up and, seeing the emptiness ahead of her, shook her head in amusement.
In the past, she would blush and feel shy with a racing heart for an entire night, before righteously rejecting the other party.
Senior high students faced demanding workloads. Though she would harbor secret crushes, or might even confess to someone, she wouldn’t specifically date anyone. At most, they would just study together.
Moreover, now that she already had lovers, she wouldn’t accept anyone else’s confessions.
After letting out a sigh, Bai Qingqing calmly opened the letter.
Regardless, she ought to read what the other party had written.
“What’s this?”
No idea when Curtis got behind Bai Qingqing, but right now he was curiously staring at the carefully folded piece of paper.
Bai Qingqing was so startled that she trembled. She was even more panicked now than when she had received the love letter earlier.
“Why are you here?” Bai Qingqing pulled him back into the dark classroom where lights had been turned off.
Although she couldn’t see the windows, Bai Qingqing remembered there being metal grids at the windows. Surely Curtis didn’t…
“I yanked away those metal bars and entered.” As Curtis spoke, he pulled out the letter from her hand and stared at it fixedly.
Bai Qingqing felt weird seeing her husband looking at the love letter someone else wrote her. All the more so since her husband was illiterate…
Touching her nose, Bai Qingqing said, “Err… this is the homework a classmate helped me copy.”
As she spoke, she even nodded heavily as affirmation. “Mm, this is homework!”
“Really?” Curtis hadn’t read much into it before, but seeing his mate’s reaction, he started having suspicions.
“Really, I’m not lying!” Bai Qingqing said with a serious expression.
Curtis curled his lips. “I’ve made a mental note of the odor on this paper.”
Why is he making a mental note of it?
Bai Qingqing gulped her saliva and shoved him sheepishly. “Quickly go down, I need to go back to the dormitory!”
“Okay, see you at the dormitory,” said Curtis.
Bai Qingqing was preparing to leave when Curtis held her back by the hand.
“Your homework.” Curtis handed the piece of paper with many fold lines back to her.
Bai Qingqing’s face quickly heated up, and she hurriedly took the letter from him. “Oh, I nearly forgot about this. See you in the dormitory.”
With that, she turned around and ran off. Due to her shame, she ran so fast that it looked like she might take flight.
