Love Letters

Chapter 173 Agreement

"You don't have to thank me, nor do you have to regard me as your salvation in life."

Xu Mobai's tone was still calm, and his emotions could not be seen.

"If you want to thank someone, thank He Miao."

She is the one who has remained steadfast and has not changed from beginning to end.

"Why is it He Miao? Could it be......"

"You believed in the truth and persisted in it all this time because of He Miao, and I helped you that day...also because of He Miao."

"Yeah."

At the end, Liu Jinyu forced a smile, but she still lost.

She has always regarded He Miao as an imaginary enemy, thinking that they started from the same starting point, and that she is more diligent, studious, and serious than He Miao...

However, He Miao never cared about her.

It was not until this moment that she truly felt an indescribable sadness.

Whether it was her feelings for Xu Mobai or her comparison with He Miao...it turned out that she was just being sentimental from the beginning to the end.

It was as if the fog was revealed after the clouds had parted, or as if the moon was revealed after the clouds had cleared...she suddenly saw herself.

No longer live cautiously in assumptions, no longer live in the eyes of others, no longer compare with others...

She was looking forward to the wind tonight.

He Miao walked quickly and hurriedly.

Jiang Yifeng reached out and pulled her, and seeing that she looked sad, he quickly spoke to comfort her: "Actually, I don't think you're stupid, really."

Hearing this, He Miao's shoulders visibly straightened for a moment, and he felt a little better, but still felt aggrieved.

"It's nothing, actually. If you're not good enough in study, then you're not good enough. If you're bad enough in grades, then you're bad enough..."

Seeing He Miao start to cry, Jiang Yifeng realized that he had said the wrong thing and was at a loss as to what to do.

"Sorry, I'm not very good at speaking, I just want to say......"

"Jiang Yifeng."

He Miao's eyelashes drooped meekly, casting a small fan-shaped shadow.

She turned around and looked at him, saying seriously, "Don't follow me, I'm studying on my own."

After saying that, He Miao continued walking forward.

She did not go back to the classroom directly, but went through the small door between the teaching building and the laboratory building and slipped down when no one was there.

"You're really good at skipping classes!"

Looking at He Miao's skillful movements, Jiang Yifeng couldn't believe that this was the person who had been saying that he wanted to study hard some time ago.

"Without him, only hands are familiar."

He Miao doesn't have the mind to care about anything else now.

She couldn't concentrate on her studies now, and it was a pain to go back to study. More importantly, she didn't know how to face Xu Mobai.

He Miao ran to the pavilion where he and Liu Feifei usually ate during physical education class and sat down.

Next to the pavilion is a pond, and the carps in it are fatter than each other.

Jiang Yifeng was sitting next to her and didn't know how to start the conversation.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward.

In the season when summer is about to come, or has already stepped half way in.

The temperature had clearly risen, but He Miao suddenly felt a little cold.

It was He Miao who broke the silence first. She wiped away her tears and quickly returned to normal, with more determination in her eyes.

"Jiang Yifeng, we must study hard. We don't need to rely on others. Anyone who looks down on us, including those who look down on our IQ and learning, must be slapped in the face."

Jiang Yifeng was somewhat surprised at He Miao's change of heart. He chuckled and agreed, "Okay."

"Then should we agree to apply to the same university?"

He suddenly suggested, his eyes full of hope, "I used to think that the college entrance examination was not important, and college was not important either, but if it's with you, then I will also start to look forward to it."

“University.”

He Miao said calmly while thinking, "Let's study hard first."

She sighed slightly and suddenly became unconfident again.

"It would be great if we can get in. If we can't get into university, we should look for other jobs together. Don't let anyone trick you into working in a shady factory."

"My family is rich, so I don't have to work."

He Miao: “….”

"I'm feeling pretty good at math now, so if nothing else, I should have no problem getting into university."

He Miao: “..........”

"Well, bye! We're not friends anymore. I don't deserve it."

Having said that, He Miao was about to get up and leave.

"Hey! Wait a minute."

Jiang Yifeng pulled the man back and said, "I was just kidding."

He Miao didn't want to go back, so he had to come back and sit down obediently.

"He Miao, the one you mentioned before...the one you promised me..."

Jiang Yifeng suddenly started to stammer, his face turned red, and he looked like he was in great pain.

"Which one?"

Seeing that he was anxious, He Miao had no idea what to do.

"The conditions you promised me before for my English improvement."

He Miao thought about it for a long time and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

"So what do you want me to do?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yifeng's eyes lit up, "Are you free this May Day?"

After saying this, he realized that he was a bit abrupt and hurriedly explained.

"Ah... I want you to accompany me to buy gifts. I... I think another relative has a birthday."

"Why do you have so many relatives celebrating their birthdays? Aren't you just trying to find time to meet me?"

He Miao was only teasing him half-jokingly, and seeing that he looked a little embarrassed, some other thoughts suddenly popped up in his mind.

"It's true."

Afraid that He Miao would overthink it, Jiang Yifeng quickly denied it.

Seeing how determined he was, He Miao thought about it and then denied it.

"Dangdang!"

The two were startled by the sound coming from somewhere and felt a little guilty.

"what sound?"

Jiang Yifeng leaned over to look, but saw nothing.

“Maybe it’s the cats and dogs in school.”

He Miao didn't take it to heart.

He Miao was really angry with Xu Mobai.

After returning, she returned Xu Mobai's notes to him piecemeal without even saying hello.

She distanced herself from him and wanted to learn on her own.

Since people think she is stupid, she should have some backbone.

It's just that she left too much behind, and it will take a lot of time to catch up.

Xu Mobai didn't ask her, but just put the notes back silently.

The agreement between He Miao and Jiang Yifeng kept echoing in my mind.

They are together and will go to the same university in the future...

Since the day of the spring outing, the two of them never spoke to each other again as if they had tacitly agreed.

The two of them were separated by a narrow aisle, but the distance between their hearts was farther than this Tamagawa Castle.

The days passed quickly like the wind. In the hot summer, the cicadas were chirping at the top of their lungs and the green leaves covered the entire wall.

Soon it was Saturday.

On his birthday, He Miao slept in.

I woke up and saw a missed call, it was from Xu Mobai...

There was another message saying that he had asked her to meet at the place where they usually studied together.

As expected, he was the one who bowed his head first and wanted to end the cold war?

He Miao rolled around on the bed: I don’t want to go anymore.
