Qingteng's Mind - Middle School Era

Chapter 1372 Confidence
"They actually replied."

Guo Wenwen tugged at Ling Mengchu's arm uncertainly, "He actually replied."

"Hmm," Ling Mengchu mumbled in response, feeling dizzy and unsteady as she walked downstairs.

She never expected that A-Jie would actually reply.

Is it thanks to Yang Yi, or to Xiaoyu's writing?

"Should we send another message?" Guo Wenwen's question brought Ling Mengchu back to her senses, and she looked straight at her.

Send another letter?

She hadn't even thought about the next step!
Guo Wenwen smiled and said, "Let's go back to the classroom first, read the letter, and then decide whether to write it or not."

Ling Mengchu nodded: "Go back to the classroom and read the letter."

The two of them ran downstairs quickly and back to the classroom. Guo Wenwen squeezed into Ling Mengchu's seat and watched as she opened the letter, then quickly joined in.

The next second, I was stunned by the opening title: Man in the Rain!

What does this mean?
He stared at Ling Mengchu for a few seconds and realized that she was still engrossed in reading the letter and hadn't noticed him staring at her.

Guo Wenwen thought about it and agreed. Mengmeng's name has two out of three characters related to water, which is rainwater, so it's all the same thing.

Thinking this, she leaned over to take it, only to find that Ling Mengchu suddenly slammed the letter on the table, looked at her with a smile on her face, her eyes and brows full of laughter.

"Wenwen said I'm a cute girl. Cute."

Guo Wenwen stared at the smiling face so close to her and smiled back: "Well said."

They used to say Ling Mengchu was a cute girl, but they'd never seen her this happy before; in fact, they always seemed angry! Now, she's actually this happy?!

So, the person who spoke was wrong?!

"This is such a surprise, they actually replied." Ling Mengchu's soft chuckle rang out nearby. "I really didn't expect that."

“Yes,” Guo Wenwen replied, “I didn’t expect it.”

I wonder what Mengmeng wrote in her letter to Ajie. If she wrote one too, would he reply to her?
"He's handsome and so approachable," Guo Wenwen said with a smile, looking at Ling Mengchu's smiling face. "He's so kind and friendly."

“Hmm,” Ling Mengchu nodded, “I really didn’t expect that he, who usually looks so cool, would be so easy to get along with. Let me tell you, I thought he wouldn’t talk to us.”

At this point, he grabbed Guo Wenwen's arm, leaned closer, and said, "Why don't you write a letter to your handsome guy too?"

Guo Wenwen was taken aback, and quickly waved her hand: "No, no."

Ling Mengchu actually guessed her thoughts in one go? How come she didn't know Ling Mengchu had such strong insight!

“I’ll tell you another secret,” Ling Mengchu chuckled, “I also wrote a letter to Anan, and mailed it out at noon today.”

Guo Wenwen's eyes widened instantly as she looked at Ling Mengchu: "Do you know which class he's in? Do you know his full name?"

"I don't know," Ling Mengchu smiled slyly. "What does it matter? A guy like him is probably a campus heartthrob or something. He should be able to get one."

"Who will receive what you wrote?"

Ling Mengchu said smugly, "You know, it's just a pipe dream."

Huh?! Guo Wenwen was stunned. She really wanted to ask, who gave Ling Mengchu such great confidence!

Ling Mengchu actually used the jokes and careless remarks made by the girls!
"Just kidding," Ling Mengchu laughed, lowering her head and then raising it again. "I used two of the words."

Conan? Guo Wenwen's eyes widened even more. She really just came up with whatever came to mind. She might as well have used "A Dream of Nanke".

"Alright, alright," Ling Mengchu said, her smile fading. "I'm not teasing you anymore. I used Ke and Meng, and then I added a character, Nan, the Nan of Nanmu."

"Ke Mengnan?" Guo Wenwen was startled. She had just borrowed the name of the male protagonist from Qiong Yao's novel "Jianjianfeng" from Liu Yiyi!
Ling Mengchu is truly exceptionally talented! She remembered that last night, when she was watching it, she specifically pointed it out to Ling Mengchu; the male lead's name was so unique.

I never expected that Ling Mengchu would give this name to that handsome but unknown guy far away!

“Yes,” Ling Mengchu smiled, “at least one word is agreeable. If he really does have this name, it would be quite fitting for him, he’d be just like his name.”

"What if not?" Guo Wenwen swallowed back the words that almost escaped her lips, her gaze falling on the letter in Ling Mengchu's hand. She nodded silently, thinking that perhaps Lady Luck would smile upon her.

This letter is the best proof.

Who would have thought that this guy, who usually seems so cool, would actually reply to my message?

Then she...

The school bell rang suddenly, and the classroom instantly became lively.

"Class is starting, class is starting." "Two more periods until school is over." "Hey, what are you doing sitting here?"

A familiar voice sounded nearby. Guo Wenwen looked up and saw Wang Xinyi standing in front of her. She got up and returned to her seat.

Ling Mengchu subconsciously covered the letter in front of her with her hand and then placed a book on top of it.

"Let me tell you, you really should have come downstairs with me just now..." Wang Xinyi's increasingly soft voice made Ling Mengchu look up, only to see Wang Xinyi and Guo Wenwen smiling at each other.

Ling Mengchu pursed her lips, her gaze falling on the book in front of her. A corner of a light blue letter peeked out from the book, and she couldn't help but smile.

She's happy that she's valued.

"Look." Wang Xiaoxiao tugged at Geng Xinyu and glanced ahead.

Geng Xinyu looked at Ling Mengchu sitting in the front seat, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, which disappeared in an instant.

Is Mengmeng missing Lingzi?

"Go do your homework." Geng Xinyu smiled and opened the workbook in front of her. "I'm going to rest in the classroom next period."

Wang Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded: "Okay."

The classroom was filled with hushed chatter and the occasional rustling of pages turning.

When the bell rang, Ling Mengchu tugged at Guo Wenwen and pointed to the front door of the classroom.

Watching the person get up and leave, Guo Wenwen paused for a few seconds, then got up and followed.

"What is it that you need to come out and talk to me about?"

"Deliver the message!"

"Deliver a message?" Guo Wenwen was startled, looking at Ling Mengchu and then glancing towards the stairwell. "Upstairs?"

"Otherwise what?" Ling Mengchu pulled Guo Wenwen upstairs. "Come on, come on, come with me."

“I…” Guo Wenwen’s words were interrupted by Ling Mengchu.

"You are my lucky star. You have to come with me. If you get a reply to the second letter, I'll help you deliver it?"

What? Guo Wenwen looked at Ling Mengchu, helping her deliver the letter?

She didn't write a letter, so what letter could she send?
"Don't look at me like that," Ling Mengchu said, pulling Guo Wenwen upstairs and waving the letter in her hand. "If he can reply, then why can't that other guy?"

Guo Wenwen was stunned. Is this a valid line of reasoning?
“Besides,” Ling Mengchu smiled, “with Xiaoyu here, what are you afraid of? At worst, tomorrow, oh no, later, I’ll ask Xiaoyu for an article for you.”

What does this have to do with Xiaoyu? A hint of confusion flashed in Guo Wenwen's eyes. The next second, she thought back to it. Could it be that Ling Mengchu sent Xiaoyu's essay as a love letter to Ajie?

No wonder Ling Mengchu delivered the letters so calmly, so frequently, and with such confidence!
