Chapter 198: Love Letter

Chapter 198

Qin Zhao looked at her classmate across from her with teary eyes, and she saw the most beautiful girl she had ever seen in her eleven years of life.

The girl was exquisitely delicate, resembling a doll, and even in her school uniform, she couldn't hide the air of elegance that emanated from her.

With a smile on her face, the girl said, "Please take this."

Qin Zhao slowly reached out to take it, afraid that everything before her was just an illusion.

After receiving the tissue, Qin Zhao didn't immediately wipe away her tears and runny nose. Instead, she couldn't help but keep staring at the girl.

The girl turned her head away but didn't stop Qin Zhao's actions.

Qin Zhao thought to herself that if she could be as beautiful as her, she wouldn't be afraid of other people's gazes.

From that moment on, Qin Zhao became like a little follower, always trailing behind the girl.

She never even asked for her name; she learned it from others, that her name was Sheng Xi.

Sheng Xi came from a well-off family and was the most beautiful girl in the class. Most of the boys in the class liked her, and the girls idolized her.

She was always surrounded by various people, so no one noticed Qin Zhao, the inconspicuous chubby girl.

Sheng Xi never spoke to her.

It seemed like she had forgotten about her.

But Qin Zhao continued to follow her tirelessly.

Being by her side, basking in the occasional ray of sunshine she cast, made Qin Zhao feel warm...

The results of the first monthly exam came out, and Qin Zhao ranked first in the whole grade, while everyone congratulated Sheng Xi, who came in second.

Even the class teacher only symbolically praised Qin Zhao.

However, Qin Zhao didn't care at all about other people's attitudes at that moment.

She only hoped that Sheng Xi would notice her.

And indeed, her wish came true.

After class, Sheng Xi said the second sentence she had spoken since the beginning of the school year to Qin Zhao, "Qin Zhao, congratulations on getting first place."

A smile bloomed on Qin Zhao's chubby face, "You know my name!"

Sheng Xi laughed and said, "Of course, you got first place in the entrance exam. You're so outstanding that it's hard not to notice."

Blushing, Qin Zhao gathered her courage and asked, "Can I be friends with you?"

Sheng Xi replied, "We were already friends."

From then on, their relationship became even more harmonious.

Sheng Xi would have Qin Zhao accompany her for meals and invite her to the library.

Because of Sheng Xi, gradually, some classmates were willing to talk to Qin Zhao.

When they ate together, someone would see that she only took a vegetarian dish and would give her some meat.

This made Qin Zhao feel like she was blending into the group.

Of course, later she found out that her classmates were only being nice to her because of Sheng Xi's face.

This went on for two months.

Qin Zhao realized that she seemed to be getting more and more attached to Sheng Xi.

For some reason, her heart would unconsciously beat faster when she looked at her.

In the afternoon, many boys would be playing soccer on the playground, so the equipment room wouldn't be locked until later.

Qin Zhao opened the door to the equipment room and walked in.

The light inside was broken, and it was a bit dim.

She whispered, "Sheng Xi, are you here?"

No one responded. Qin Zhao was about to wait a little longer when suddenly, with a loud bang, the door was forcefully shut, and she heard the sound of it being locked!

In shock, Qin Zhao turned around and saw Sheng Xi's face through the crack in the door!

Qin Zhao rushed to the door and pounded on it, shouting, "Let me out! Sheng Xi, open the door!!"

Sheng Xi looked at her expressionlessly, and her female classmates beside her asked, "Sheng Xi, does Qin Zhao really like you?"

Another female classmate said, "I can't tell. Not only is she fat and ugly, but she's also a weirdo!"

To make matters worse, one of them held what appeared to be the love letter Qin Zhao wrote to Sheng Xi and read it out loud, saying, "Sheng Xi, I like you. You're like the sun in the sky, shining on everyone around you.

Because of your existence, I look forward to coming to school every day.

Thank you..."

Unable to bear it any longer, Qin Zhao covered her ears and shouted, "Stop! Please stop reading it!!"

That person didn't listen and kept reciting.

The laughter of the classmates drowned out Qin Zhao's voice.

Sheng Xi turned around and walked away.

In Qin Zhao's memory, the last scene she saw of Sheng Xi was her indifferent figure.

·

"After that day, you never came to school again.

The teacher said you went abroad.

And I was mocked by classmates for half a year.

Fortunately, my grandmother helped me transfer to another school."

Qin Zhao's tone was indifferent, as if she was talking about someone else's story.

Indeed, that was the original owner's experience.

But as someone with complete memories, she could feel the genuine anger.

She continued, "After you left, for a long time, I tried hard to forget you.

To walk away from that unbearable memory.

And I actually succeeded.

At least when I saw you appearing on the show 'Survival in the Ancient Wilderness,' it took me a while to remember that we had crossed paths."

Sheng Xi said, "So that's why you don't talk to me and always avoid me?

It makes me very sad."

Seeing Sheng Xi's seemingly unconcerned appearance, Qin Zhao couldn't help but frown and said, "You should answer my question now.

Why did you do that back then?

And why are you pretending to be close to me now?"
