After the evening self - study, there was a five - minute break. Some classmates in the class went to the toilet, while others went to fetch water to moisten their throats.
"Su Qinian, tell me, who gave you this love letter?!" A shrill voice seemed to pierce through the relatively quiet break. Everyone saw a figure near the window suddenly stand up with a "swish" and point at the person beside her.
The classmates took a closer look. Wasn't that Lin Jinran? What was going on?
They then saw Lin Jinran open her eyes wide, pointing at a letter that had appeared on Su Qinian's desk. She stood there blankly as if she had lost her soul.
Immediately afterwards, her clear eyes were filled with anger.
The classmates in the class were confused about what had happened and all craned their necks to look forward.
Zhang Qiaozhi, who was looking for her homework with her head down, paused for a moment, then slowly turned her head. A hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.
Had these two quarreled?
If so, it would be a perfect opportunity.
She hooked her lips and stared intently.
The fish hadn't taken the bait yet. It was just circling around the bait, waiting for the best moment to bite.
Lin Jinran blinked.
They heard Su Qinian reply, "I don't know either. It just appeared after I took away my Chinese book."
His tone was innocent and casual.
"Su Qinian, have you been secretly seeing other girls behind my back? Otherwise, how could she have given you this letter? It's obviously a love letter!"
Lin Jinran wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Almost in a frenzy, she stared fixedly at the person in front of her.
Su Qinian lowered his eyelids, hiding his expression. "Lin Jinran, are you really that unwilling to trust me?"
By the end, his tone turned cold. His beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed, and his words were full of disbelief.
Lin Jinran took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and her chest heaved and trembled. "It's not that I'm unwilling to trust you. It's just that you're like a peacock, showing off and causing trouble outside."
Su Qinian laughed out of anger and coldly questioned, "Is this what I am in your eyes? Showing off and causing trouble everywhere? Lin Jinran, it was I who misjudged you. I didn't expect you to be such a person."
"Then tell me, where did this love letter on your desk come from? Are you brave enough to admit it?" Lin Jinran wouldn't let go of the love letter.
"How could I possibly know where it came from? Lin Jinran, can you use your brain? Why are you accusing me? What's our relationship? Aren't we just ordinary classmates? Don't be so self - righteous and try to control me so much."
The classmates in the class were all confused and looked blankly at this farce.
What on earth... was going on...
Weren't Su Qinian and Lin Jinran the best of friends? Why did they suddenly start arguing, just because of a suddenly appeared love letter? It didn't make sense.
"Fine, fine, fine, Su Qinian. I've been fed up with you for a long time. Do you think I should be grateful just because you've been tutoring me in such a superior way? I've long disliked your attitude."
"Lin Jinran, do you think you're so smart? All the grades you've achieved so far are thanks to me..."
Everyone suddenly realized that these two had had small disputes for a long time, but they had always kept them in their hearts.
Today, because of a love letter, their contradictions finally burst out.
They were like a quarreling couple.
Tao Wan and Jiang Xiubin, who were sitting in the front row, were first stunned. Like the other classmates, they looked blankly at the two who were arguing.
Seeing that the two were arguing more and more fiercely and saying more and more unpleasant things, Tao Wan finally came to her senses and tried to stop the fight with Jiang Xiubin.
Lu Youchuan, who was sitting even further in the front row, stared in disbelief and murmured, "Sure enough, she's my Sister Lin. She looks as delicate as Lin Daiyu, but she's so imposing when she argues..."
Xie Wanyu also widened her eyes and stared blankly at this farce, completely puzzled.
Zhang Qiaozhi, who was hiding in the back, propped her chin up and smiled faintly. The smile revealed her disdain, as if she was saying, "So there would come a day when you two would quarrel."
Keep arguing. It would be best if you two fell out and had nothing to do with each other ever again.
The fish had taken the bait.
Lin Jinran caught a glimpse of the excited smile in Zhang Qiaozhi's eyes from the corner of her eye. She knew that the effect was almost achieved. If they continued to argue, it would backfire. Just then, the bell for class rang.
She glared at Su Qinian forcefully, moved her stool outward as far away from him as possible, and then sat down silently.
All the reference books that had been placed in the corridor before were moved to the middle of their desks. She didn't want to see him, so she turned her head away and ignored him.
Su Qinian also seemed to get angry. He stared at Lin Jinran, his eyes filled with a chilling coldness. After a while, he shifted his gaze and coldly tore up the love letter.
Tao Wan and Jiang Xiubin looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Tao Wan carefully glanced at Su Qinian and Lin Jinran. After hesitating for a while, she said in a low voice, "You can talk things out if there are any misunderstandings..."
"There are no misunderstandings!" The two said in unison.
They were stunned for a moment, glared at each other, then angrily turned their heads and ignored each other.
This... Tao Wan was really confused.
Jiang Xiubin sighed and shook her head. "Maybe they'll make up in a few days."
In fact, they didn't make up the next day.
Some classmates in the class couldn't stand it and started to act as peace - makers to persuade the two, but all their efforts were in vain.
Zhang Qiaozhi also came to act as a peace - maker. She stood in front of Lin Jinran's desk with a smiling face and tentatively said, "Lin Jinran, I heard that you've quarreled with the class monitor recently. It's just a love letter. It's nothing. Before you came, there were girls who came to confess their love every one or two months."
Lin Jinran opened her eyes wide, covered her chest, and said angrily, "But this is not just a love letter. In just one day, that girl sent milk tea and breakfast. How could I not be angry? Scumbag! I didn't expect him to be such a person!"
"Lin Jinran, how did I become the scumbag in your mouth? Zhang Qiaozhi is right. Before you came, there were indeed girls who came to confess their love to me, but I've always been clean and self - disciplined. I've never done anything to betray myself. Don't slander me anymore!"
His dark pupils were bone - chillingly cold.
Zhang Qiaozhi curved her eyes and kindly persuaded the two to make up. After all, they had been deskmates for so long, so there must be some feelings between them.
Su Qinian and Lin Jinran still didn't buy it.
Zhang Qiaozhi showed a troubled expression and pretended to ask casually, "Who is that girl? Why is she so rude?"
"Tang Xiangjia from Class 5, Senior 3." Lin Jinran said it straightforwardly. She glanced at Zhang Qiaozhi nonchalantly and continued, heartbroken, "Is she not ashamed at all!"
"Lin Jinran, she just confessed her love. Don't make such a fuss!" Su Qinian spoke up in defense.
"Fine, fine. Do you really like her?!"
The two in front of her were still arguing. Standing in front of the desk, Zhang Qiaozhi's expression remained calm, but her eyes darkened.
Tang Xiangjia from Class 5, Senior 3?
Judging from the way Su Qinian was defending her, there might really be something going on...
