Qingteng's Mind - Middle School Era

Chapter 1374 Unspeakable
"what happened?"

Guo Wenwen tugged at Ling Mengchu's sleeve, "Why did you stop?"

“I,” Ling Mengchu paused, looking at Guo Wenwen, “I think I made a mistake.”

Huh? Guo Wenwen's eyes widened instantly.

"Ding—" The school bell suddenly rang.

"Class is starting, class is starting!" "Into the classroom, into the classroom!" "There's only one class left before school ends!" "Let's go, let's go!"

"Hey, what are you doing standing in the middle of the road?" Wang Xinyi's voice rang out nearby.

Guo Wenwen pulled Ling Mengchu a couple of steps forward and returned to her seat. Under Wang Xinyi's gaze, she turned to look at Ling Mengchu again.

"Are you two hiding something from us?"

Wang Xinyi's words startled the two of them, and they waved their hands repeatedly, "No, no." "We, there's nothing going on."

"It's best if there isn't one." Wang Xinyi glanced around at the two people, turned around, took out her notebook, and started doing her homework.

Guo Wenwen breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at Ling Mengchu, and turned away.

Ling Mengchu stared blankly at the backs of the two people in front of her, resting her chin on her hand and staring at the homework in front of her.

What should I do? The signature is Xinyu again. Should I tell Xiaoyu? What will Ajie think? Will he think it was written by Xiaoyu for him?

What if he comes to the classroom looking for Xiaoyu? I've really messed up! It's all that Anan's fault. If I hadn't met him, none of this would have happened. Will he receive the letter I wrote to him? If he does, will he reply like A-Jie did?

Uh, reply? He might think it's from someone else. She even wrote Xiaolingzi's name on it; won't Xiaolingzi be upset with her?

Ling Mengchu's mind was in turmoil, and she regretted her impulsive actions. But when her gaze fell on the letter in the corner of her notebook, she felt inexplicably happy again.

I never expected that A-Jie would reply to her.

And just now, when she went to deliver the letter, she happened to see him in the corridor. After a slight hesitation, she walked over, smiled, and handed him the letter.

She clearly saw the fleeting surprise on his face, and also clearly saw the smile on his face, which was several degrees deeper than when they "coincidentally" met.

He smiled and took the letter, glanced at it, put it in his pocket, then looked at her and said with a gentle smile, "Okay."

In that instant, she suddenly felt her heart race. She glanced at him, then quickly turned around, grabbed Guo Wenwen who was two steps behind, and headed towards the stairwell.

She took a few steps, then stopped and turned back. She found him still standing by the window in the corridor, leaning against the glass, looking at her with a smile in his eyes and brows.

She blushed, turned around, and quickly left.

When I turned around again, he was no longer at the window.

She paused for a moment, then smiled, and after a brief pause, pulled Guo Wenwen towards the stairwell. He was naturally going back to the classroom to check the letter, just like she had done in the last class.

Ling Mengchu stared at the letter for a long time, then suddenly remembered that he had said "okay" instead of "thank you" just now, and her face instantly turned hot again.

Could he possibly realize that he, the "messenger," is actually the one who wrote the letter? How could he be so clever?
Ling Mengchu's heart began to pound wildly again.

"I have a feeling something's wrong with her." Wang Xiaoxiao nudged Geng Xinyu's arm. "She's been sitting there for a long time, not moving at all."

Geng Xinyu looked at Wang Xiaoxiao, then at Ling Mengchu to her right. Ling Mengchu was sitting upright with her hands on the table, seemingly looking at something, without a pen in her hand.

Lost in thought? Since Xiao Lingzi wasn't around, she should indeed be concerned. Geng Xinyu smiled slightly, raised her hand, and was about to pat Ling Mengchu's shoulder when she suddenly turned around.

"Xiaoyu..."

Seeing Ling Mengchu hesitate, Geng Xinyu raised her hand again and placed it on the pile of books: "What's wrong?"

Xiaoxiao was right, Mengmeng still has something on her mind? "I..." Ling Mengchu opened her mouth, then immediately closed it again, smiled, and said, "It's nothing."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Geng Xinyu and Wang Xiaoxiao exchanged a glance, staring at Ling Mengchu's back, and nodded in unison: She really has something on her mind!
A moment later, Ling Mengchu turned around again and met Geng Xinyu's gaze. She couldn't help but panic: Had Xiaoyu seen through her?
"Just tell me what's wrong." Geng Xinyu smiled and patted Ling Mengchu's arm, looking at her left hand that was picking at her nails. "Lingling isn't here, but I am."

The other day, she and Xiaolingzi were both too busy to pay attention. Is Mengmeng really in trouble?
As long as Mengmeng is willing to ask, she is naturally willing to help. Just like how Mengmeng has been constantly asking her for articles these past few days, these are all minor matters.

“I,” Ling Mengchu suddenly stopped, pouting, “can I borrow your chemistry workbook to take a look?”

Huh? This? Is this even a big deal? Geng Xinyu smiled and handed over the homework.

"Xiaoyu, you're so kind." Ling Mengchu forced a smile, took the homework, turned around, and pinched her palm hard, but she still couldn't bring herself to say it.

I'll find an opportunity to talk to Xiaoyu alone after school.

Wang Xiaoxiao rested her chin on her hand and stared at Ling Mengchu's back for a while before leaning closer to Geng Xinyu: "Something's wrong with her. Something's definitely up."

Geng Xinyu nodded and said in a low voice, "If she doesn't say, there's nothing we can do. Let's just wait."

Wang Xiaoxiao twirled her pen and smacked her lips, then looked at Guo Wenwen to her left and said, "Okay, whatever you say."

What exactly happened to Ling Mengchu? Guo Wenwen should know, right? These two have been inseparable these past few days.

When the school bell rang, before Ling Mengchu could even turn around, Wang Xiaoxiao called out to Wang Xinyi and pulled Geng Xinyu away from the classroom.

Ling Mengchu paused for a moment, then thought, "Fine, I'll talk about it another time."

As they left the teaching building, Guo Wenwen brought up the old topic again, and Ling Mengchu told Guo Wenwen the truth.

Guo Wenwen was startled: "Why did you use Xiaoyu's name?"

Ling Mengchu was also distressed: "That's why I said I made a big mistake."

After thinking for a moment, Guo Wenwen suggested, "Let's tell Xiaoyu about this. You used her name and her article; maybe Ajie will also think that Xiaoyu wrote the letter. Just in case."

"What if what?" Ling Mengchu looked at Guo Wenwen, who seemed hesitant to speak.

"What if Ah Jie falls for Xiao Yu?"

Ling Mengchu was completely stunned by those words.

"What if Ah-Jie mistakenly thinks that Xiao-Yu likes him too?"

"What if A-Jie comes to the classroom looking for Xiao-Yu, or even comes to deliver the letter in person? This misunderstanding needs to be explained; we can't delay it, or the more we delay, the more problems will arise."

"Also, do you remember Zheng Yifan?"

Ling Mengchu suddenly realized something and looked at Guo Wenwen: "He's already transferred schools, what does it have to do with him?"

“How can it not be related? He is,” Guo Wenwen lowered her voice a few decibels, “He made such a big commotion, you don’t think he was just joking, do you?”

Ling Mengchu stared intently at Guo Wenwen: "Weren't you ordered to provide tutoring?"

Guo Wenwen smiled: "Then why don't I tutor you?"

Ling Mengchu was speechless for a moment, staring blankly at Guo Wenwen before finally managing to squeeze out a sentence: "You mean, he specifically chose Xiaoyu?"

"Otherwise what?" Guo Wenwen sighed. "So, we should hurry up and explain to Xiaoyu to avoid any further misunderstandings."

Ling Mengchu pouted. If that were really the case, then she had really played with fire and gotten burned. She hurried back to her dormitory to explain things to Xiaoyu.
