Chapter 146 — Delivering a "Love Letter"
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
At the thought, Tang Yun could only rise to her feet and say to Teacher Song: "Teacher Song, I'll just step outside for a moment..."
Teacher Song was taken aback. She knew how Tang Yun usually behaved. There was an endless stream of suitors at school, and not a few rich young masters among them, yet Tang Yun paid none of them any mind — never mind going out to meet one who came to the classroom; even running into one in the halls, she would take the initiative to avoid him. And this time...
But since Tang Yun had decided to go out and see Wei Zhao, Teacher Song could hardly say much. She nodded, but followed Tang Yun to the classroom door and watched the two of them from there, to see what they were up to — if Wei Zhao pestered Tang Yun, she would be able to step in and stop him.
"Why did you come at a time like this?" Tang Yun pouted, looking at Wei Zhao with displeasure. "It's our homeroom teacher's class, and it isn't over yet. Didn't you see the gesture I gave you?"
"You shushed me and waved your hand — how was I supposed to know what you wanted?" Wei Zhao shrugged innocently. "Didn't we agree? That I'd give you the recipe at the break after this period..."
"Aiyah..." Tang Yun sighed faintly, full of helplessness. "Then just give it to me quickly."
"Here." Wei Zhao took out the written recipe and handed it to Tang Yun.
Tang Yun took it and slipped it straight into her pocket without even opening it. "I'm going back in. Don't go knocking on windows at random next time."
"Next time?" Wei Zhao was taken aback.
Only then did Tang Yun realize her slip of the tongue — by saying that, had she not as good as told Wei Zhao to come and harass her again next time? She hurriedly corrected herself: "There won't be a next time."
With that, afraid of angering the young master, she did not dare look at him, and turning, head down, she ran quickly back toward her classroom — and nearly collided head-on with Teacher Song...
"Ah... s-sorry, Teacher Song..." Tang Yun's face flushed slightly.
"Go on back. Be more careful next time." Teacher Song knitted her brows. She did not care in the least that Tang Yun had nearly bumped into her; what she cared about was — what had Wei Zhao just given Tang Yun? It looked like a folded piece of paper?
And after receiving it, Tang Yun had fled back, red-faced, as if running for her life?
Teacher Song quite naturally took Tang Yun's blush of embarrassment at nearly bumping into her for a blush of shyness...
Could it be... a love letter? At that possibility, Teacher Song shook her head. Had the girl taken leave of her senses? She had never once accepted a boy's love letter before. What had come over her this time? Not only had she made an exception to see Wei Zhao, she had even accepted his love letter, and with a face full of shyness... Could it be that there really was something between the two of them?
And it was not only Teacher Song who saw all this, but many others as well — Tang Yun's classmates, for instance. There was more than one window along the corridor; any of them could lift a curtain and take in the scene outside...
They could not hear what was being said, but from those ambiguous looks, those ambiguous gestures, and that expression on Tang Yun's face — half petulant, half reproachful — a great deal could be imagined...
Especially at the end: Wei Zhao had drawn out a folded piece of paper and given it to Tang Yun, and Tang Yun had blushingly tucked it into her pocket, and then, head lowered and face red, come running back...
That scene was just too juicy.
In the dull, flavorless life of a school, what spreads fastest of all? Nothing but which boy is going out with which girl... So-and-so gave so-and-so a love letter, a confession was accepted, Classmate A turned down Classmate B's advances...
