  Quan Jingyi also likes this post?

  When did Quan Jingyi add Li Jianyue?

  Damn it!

  The young boy was stunned.

  Had Quan Jingyi taken his phone only to add Li Jianyue on WeChat?

  So, Quan Jingyi likes Li Jianyue, is that it?

  If Quan Jingyi liked Li Jianyue and given Quan Jingyi’s looks, he would ultimately trump him.

  He felt extremely distressed at the thought of it.

  Had he anticipated this, he would never have allowed Quan Jing to get hold of his phone.

  After Li Jianyue had finished eating, she touched her belly and leaned back on the sofa with a satisfied and happy expression.

  On that day, Li Mosen received a special invitation to represent the school basketball team and the school in the municipal high school basketball game.

  Li Jianyue thought about it for a while and decided to post something on Wechat to congratulate him.

  When she picked up her phone, she saw many new notifications from Wechat Moments.

  [Smile]: Ah-ah, I want to eat them, too!

  [Panpan]: Auntie’s culinary skills are excellent. I envy you [cry, cry]

  There were all sorts of comments from other envious classmates and playmates with whom she had grown up.

  The rest were likes.

  Among the three to four lines of likes, Li Jianyue saw a simple, new profile icon.

  The manga boy, dressed in red, cocked his head to the side, a cigarette in his mouth, and a gray hat on his head. He was standing casually. His clothes had the letter Y written on them.

  Li Jianyue recognized the boy at a glance.

  One new person and then another added her as friends in the afternoon.

  She reckoned that the second new friend was the one who wrote the love letter given to her.

  The first person to add her was the male student who helped run errands and spread the word. It was the same young boy who added her in the afternoon.

  The manga boy, whose profile pic showed him dressed in red, must be the one who gave her the love letter.

  The wording of the love letter was cliched and straightforward.

  In five to six eloquently written lines, it read:

  ‘Dear Li Jianyue, hello!

  Perhaps you don’t know my name. But ever since you entered through the classroom door, I have been deeply attracted to you.

  I never knew that a girl could be so cute. Your every smile, action, and even when you get angry, you appear like a goddess in my mind.

  I think this is love. You have successfully made your way into my heart.

  Li Jianyue, I like you very much. Please go out with me!

  A boy who has a crush on you, Yang Zihao.’


  —


  Li Jianyue could not recognize the name at all.

  Her upbringing was such that she thought it would be very embarrassing to say such things in person. It would be so impolite.

  Li Jianyue decided to refuse tactfully after giving it some thought.

  She had no plan to fall in love in high school. She had no interest in someone she didn’t even know.

  She opened the boy’s chatbox, clicked on “message.” She wrote:

  ‘Hello, student Yang.

  I am pleased that you like me, but I will not fall in love at such an early age!

  I hope we will learn together and make progress together in the future!’


  She added a handshake emoji to the message.

  After reassuring herself that there was no problem, Li Jianyue sent the message.

  ‘Ding Dong’


  Quan Jingyi was drying his hair after taking a shower. As he was passing the table, the phone vibrated.

  When he saw the long string of words, Quan Jingyi raised his eyebrows slightly. He immediately understood what Li Jianyue meant.

  He knew she thought that he was the so-called “friend” that the male classmate mentioned in the afternoon.

  For some reason, Quan Jingyi found it a little funny. He lowered his head and chuckled lightly. He picked up his phone to reply, ‘Are you so gentle to every boy that likes you?’
