Qingteng's Mind - Middle School Era

Chapter 1369 Worry
When they reached the fifth floor, the classroom lights were already on, and Yang Yi stood thoughtfully in front of the classroom corridor.

Is this a view of the campus at night in the early morning?
Lin Yijie looked out the window, where the bright interior was reflected in the glass.

Lin Yijie pursed his lips slightly, lifted his foot and walked towards the back door. For a moment just now, he suddenly wanted to go over and say hello to Yang Yi, after all, it was Yang Yi who delivered the letter yesterday.

He was, after all, his "messenger".

Now it seems that it is better to forget it.

Yang Yi's world was beyond his comprehension; what scenery was there to see now? He truly couldn't see it!

He had more important things to do. He needed to revise yesterday's draft and see if he could leave home in the morning. If not, he would go after school at noon.

Thinking this, Lin Yijie pulled out a book, then took out yesterday's draft from the drawer and stuffed it underneath, and began to read it carefully.

Seeing Lin Yijie walking over, Yang Yi paused. He had waited here specifically to confirm whether Lin Yijie was really going to reply.

The next second, he hesitated again. The little girl had already said yesterday that Geng Xinyu did not know Lin Yijie. So, would it be a bit gossipy for him to ask again?

After all, he was the one who first told Lin Yijie to communicate less.

Just as he was hesitating, Lin Yijie glanced at him and walked straight into the classroom!
This kid, actually?!
Whatever!

Yang Yi looked out the window, and the bright light before him reminded him that it was the early hours of the morning, the night had not yet faded, and the sky was not yet bright, so there was nothing to see!

Let's go back to the classroom and study.

With that thought in mind, Yang Yi slowly turned around and walked towards the classroom. As soon as he stepped inside, he saw Lin Yijie sitting upright, engrossed in his book!
He was suddenly a little confused. Had he seen things wrong yesterday?
That kid didn't write back?!
Thankfully, I didn't ask!
Yang Yi walked briskly towards his seat.

As the lights in the teaching buildings gradually came on, the sound of students reading aloud filled the campus, and the night slowly faded away amidst these sounds.

As the morning sunlight filtered through the uneven leaves and bathed the campus, Guo Wenwen tugged at Ling Mengchu's arm and asked the question she had been holding back for a long time.

Will he reply to us?

Ling Mengchu looked at Guo Wenwen with a cold gaze: "You forgot that we were supposed to pick up the reply tonight?"

Although it wasn't Lin Yijie who said it, since Yang Yi said it, it must be true.

After all, he was Fang Di's older brother, a celebrity on the school radio station, and the one who told them A-Jie's real name!

How could she not believe him?
“I haven’t forgotten,” Guo Wenwen smiled. “I just couldn’t resist my curiosity.”

After all, it wasn't A-Jie who personally agreed, so how could Ling Mengchu be so certain? It seemed far too confident. She was more curious about what Ling Mengchu had written in her letter.

Or, should we ask?
Ling Mengchu glanced at her, looked ahead at the road, and then looked back at her: "You didn't tell Wang Xinyi and the others, did you?"

"No, no," Guo Wenwen quickly waved her hand, "Don't worry, I didn't say that."

It seems I should hold off on asking for now and wait until tonight to see if I receive a reply.

Ling Mengchu turned her head away and stopped talking. The two of them walked towards the cafeteria, each lost in their own thoughts.

"What were you doing downstairs in such a hurry?" Guo Kai looked at the person in front of him. He hadn't even realized that get out of class was over when the person had left.

Lin Yijie said calmly, "It's nothing."

Guo Kai raised an eyebrow, glanced at Lin Yijie's expressionless face, swallowed back what he wanted to say, and silently walked to the side.

"Are you alright?" Ouyang Moxuan walked up from behind. "Then why were you walking so fast? I thought you were going to..."

He looked around and lowered his voice, "We thought you were in a hurry to go to the toilet."

Guo Kai glanced at Ouyang Moxuan and said, "You're overthinking it."

Lin Yijie seemed not to hear him, did not respond, and kept looking ahead, walking forward without stopping.

Ouyang Moxuan chuckled, "You guessed wrong, you guessed wrong."

Aside from going to the toilet, what other reason could there be for rushing downstairs the moment the school bell rings? That's not like Ah-Jie's style. Right now, looking straight ahead, left hand casually dangling in his pocket, is Ah-Jie's normal demeanor.

What was that for?
Was he delivering a letter in order to "accidentally" meet Geng Xinyu?

The thought that had just popped into Ouyang Moxuan's head made him feel terrible, and he couldn't help but look at Lin Yijie again and again.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yijie glanced at Ouyang Moxuan, who was staring at him intently.
“I think,” he swallowed back the words that almost came out when his gaze met Lin Yijie’s slightly aloof eyes, and changed the subject, “I want to see if any of you want to go. If not, I’ll go by myself.”

After saying that, he turned right without waiting for Lin Yijie's response.

Ah Jie's eyes... he hadn't seen that look in his eyes for a long time!
Ouyang Moxuan quickened his pace, but after catching a glimpse of a group heading north out of the corner of his eye, he slowed down and walked north across the small basketball court.

Something's definitely up!
Could it be that the letter was delivered earlier, but she didn't accept it? But this is too fast, isn't it? He and Guo Kai followed one after the other.

I deliberately walked around the classroom of Class 5 of Grade 11, but I didn’t see A-Jie. Instead, I saw Geng Xinyu sitting at the table.

It's normal that they wouldn't accept it; after all, she's Zheng Yifan's rumored girlfriend! Ugh, what am I even thinking?

But Ah Jie, what's with that sour face?
Ouyang Moxuan was somewhat baffled.

Wang Xinyi was equally confused. She stared wide-eyed at Wang Xiaoxiao and said, "You said that A-Jie came to our classroom early this morning."

"Could the sound be any louder?"

Wang Xinyi looked up and saw a group of people on her left looking at her. She stuck out her tongue and lowered her voice: "Hehe, so what if they hear? They don't know who A-Jie is, and besides, nobody's here."

Wang Xiaoxiao shook her head; she naturally knew that the "who" Wang Xinyi was referring to was Ling Mengchu.

"Why are you shaking your head?" Wang Xinyi tugged at Wang Xiaoxiao's arm. "What's he doing here? Did you even talk to him?"

Wang Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Wang Xinyi, only to suddenly see Lin Yijie and Dong Huihui staring intently at her.

What are you looking at? It's after school, can't we even chat? That's too much of a nosy thing!
Wang Xiaoxiao looked away, stood up, and tugged at Wang Xinyi: "Let's talk as we walk."

"Okay." Wang Xinyi immediately followed, but after taking a few steps, she turned back and said, "Xiaoyu, we're leaving now."

Geng Xinyu waved her hand without turning her head and continued writing the unfinished poem.

Let them guess as they please, it's none of her business!

Ah Jie? Is she talking about him? Lin Yijie was overjoyed. He came to see her again?

What is she laughing at? Dong Huihui turned around and was suddenly struck by her deskmate's expression, as if she couldn't help but laugh: "What are you laughing at?"

"Look at what they're saying, it's so interesting."

"It's alright." Dong Huihui said calmly. She hadn't heard clearly. Was he the one being talked about? And what was he doing here?
Dong Huihui's face flushed involuntarily.

Lin Yijie leaned closer and chuckled, "What a coincidence! The A-Jie they're talking about has the same name as the person I told you about yesterday. Could they be the same person?"

"Ah Jie?" The way she called him so intimately made Dong Huihui look at Lin Yijie with a hint of curiosity. Could the Ah Jie she was referring to be Lin Yijie? Was that smile on her face because of him?

"If we had known, we would have come earlier," Lin Yijie said with a regretful look. "Tomorrow, we'll come earlier tomorrow."

Dong Huihui stared blankly at Lin Yijie: "Who is that boy you're talking about?"

Lin Yijie smiled and said, "He has the same name as me."

Dong Huihui felt relieved.

"They are homophones, but the characters are different."

Dong Huihui: !

Lin, Yi, and Jie have different characters, so are they really the same person?!
