Chapter 417 – I want to be a start (2)
To his relief, his classmate handed the letter to the right person and his letter arrived safely in Big Zhong Yi’s hand. Ren DongZhi pretended that he was resting while he sat on the stairs, waiting to see Big Zhong Yi’s reaction.
Big Zhong Yi was the leader of the cheerleader team at the time and happened to be sitting under a tree and chatting and laughing with her friends. She seemed to have pink lipstick on her and her lips were a rosy color.
She was not surprised when she saw the love letter – she normally received quite a few everyday and they came from students both from their own and other schools.
“Who’s it from?” She cocked her head and smiled slightly.
“Ren DongZhi from Class #5. He’s fat.”
Big Zhong Yi was taken aback a little and a resentful look flashed through her face. Her long and drawn-out tone suggested her dissatisfaction. “Oh, that fat pig. How disgusting to be liked by someone like him?”
Her expression was still innocent and cute but her words made Ren DongZhi’s heart freeze.
Big Zhong Yi’s friends were giggling with her. “Some people really had no idea where they stand. He should look into the mirror some time. Even a reacher shouldn’t try to reach that far.”
“You should just post this onto the announcement board so others can also see how thick his skin is.”
Ren DongZhi balled his hands into fists and he was consumed by his anger. He stood up and was about to run up and rip the love letter out of Big Zhong Yi’s hand.
The love letter, however, was taken away by fingers much slenderer than his.
Ren DongZhi followed the fingers to their owner and saw a delicate and charming face – the one belonging to Little Zhong Yi in Class #6.
Her face stern, making her appear even more cold and alluring. “Who said you are the recipient of this love letter? You are not the only Zhong Yi. I am Zhong Yi too.”
She took the love letter from her, opened it up, read it, and snickered. “Yup. This letter is for me. It says here that I am glamorous like dawn clouds and dazzling like peony roses.
“Just look at yourself. Do you think this is talking about you?”
She put the love letter away, gave them a sideway glance and said, “A bunch of fools.”
Big Zhong Yi was so angry that her face was twisted. She was unable to maintain her normal look.
Regardless, she was unable to say it out loud in front of this glamorous girl that she fit the description of “glamourous like dawn clouds”. She could do nothing but watch Zhong Yi leave with the love letter.
“Shameless fox demon. She’s perfect for that fat pig.”
She wasn’t even done talking before she felt cold liquid coming down from the top of her head. Big Zhong Yi couldn’t help but let out a shriek. She looked up again and saw the man she just called a pig looking at her expressionlessly. She had no idea how much he heard.
Big Zhong Yi was, after all, a girl in her teens. She couldn’t help but feel a guilty conscience when she was caught red-handed badmouthing someone.
She had put up a good image in front of others and had always been national puppy love that represented what was pure, kind, and beautiful. She would only allow her true self to show in front of her friends.
Before she could come up with something to salvage the situation, Ren DongZhi had already taken off.
***
Ren DongZhi chased after Little Zhong Yi. He was just dumped thoroughly but he didn’t feel too sad.
Perhaps it was because he realized that he was in love with a fake image that he had conjured up with his imagination. The real Big Zhong Yi was far from the person he had in mind.
“Don’t worry. I will not post your love letter. I didn’t read it either. I was just messing around with them,” said Little Zhong Yi with a frown.
Ren DongZhi said, “I know you are not that kind of a person. I just want to say thank you.”
Thank you for willing to stand up for him and protect whatever little self-esteem that he had with her white lie.
Zhong Yi paused a little and smiled lightly. “You are welcome.”
