Chapter 109: The Secret About Senior Student Ziyi From Back Then
Ye Chuxiao remembered that yesterday morning she had taken out a book on castle sketching appreciation from the bookshelf, but Aunt Leng came to find her, and she had just casually put the book back into the bookshelf.
Let’s continue reading that book.
Ye Chuxiao bent down, took out the castle sketching appreciation from the bottom row on the left side of the bookshelf, sat down at the desk, and flipped through the book.
There were several pieces of paper tucked inside, which Ye Chuxiao took out and saw they were several drawings.
Ye Chuxiao chuckled, “Pfft.” These must have been drawn by Senior Student Ziyi when he was little. The style was very childish, and they were colored with crayons.
Looking through them one by one, the drawings were all of a family: Father and Mother with a little boy flying a kite on the lawn, catching fish in the stream, digging bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest…
Ye Chuxiao laughed more and more, finding it amusing. It was a pity that this little boy who drew didn’t have a date on his drawings; perhaps they were from when he was five or six years old.
Little Senior Student Ziyi’s drawing level was already quite good.
Looking further down, Ye Chuxiao’s expression suddenly froze. She saw a drawing of a tall apple tree, lush and full of leaves, with a tree full of red apples.
A little boy was climbing the tree to pick apples, while his Father and Mother looked up at him from below. The family was harmonious and very happy.
Ye Chuxiao also saw a round stone table and a few small round stools under the apple tree.
It was exactly the same as what she saw under the apple tree when Aunt Leng took her to the small garden that morning.
So, the stone table and stone stools had been there for a very long time.
It showed how attentively this little boy drew, detailing everything so carefully.
This must have been his deepest desire, for Father and Mother to be by his side, to grow up with him.
Therefore, Senior Student Ziyi wasn’t lying. Yesterday morning at breakfast, Senior Student Ziyi said that because Mother loved to eat apples, he planted an apple tree, hoping it would grow delicious big apples so that Mother would stay home longer.
Afterwards, Ye Chuxiao saw the letter at the very back. The writing on the envelope was even done with a pencil, and it read: “For Mother Leng Yanfei.”
The envelope wasn’t sealed, but Ye Chuxiao didn’t open it. She knew this was a little boy’s most sincere hope and longing for his mother, something that belonged only to his mother!
Ye Chuxiao put the drawings and the letter back into the pages of the book and rested her head on the desk.
Her heart was churning, yet her mind was peaceful.
Senior Student Ziyi said he had no other feelings for Older Sister Yunfei, and Older Sister Yunfei also told her that Senior Student Ziyi had no other special feelings for her.
So, everyone in the town misunderstood Senior Student Ziyi, and he encountered a lot of trouble on the day Older Sister Yunfei and Brother Yi Ming got married!
Ye Chuxiao recalled the entire wedding ceremony today and now found it increasingly amusing. Everyone in the town was misunderstanding Senior Student Ziyi!
And he still acted so calm and composed, as serene as ever.
Ye Chuxiao, who had intended to read for a while before sleeping, found herself even more unable to sleep.
She walked to the window, resting her hands on the wooden window frame.
A cool evening breeze blew gently, and the night insects chirped rhythmically. The peaceful night calmed Ye Chuxiao’s heart.
The innocent girl tilted her beautiful face upwards, smiling slightly as she gazed at the bright moon in the night sky.
Gazing up at the bright full moon in the night sky, Lu Ziyi stood by the wooden window, his mind filled with an image of an innocent girl.
She smiled at him, she walked by his side, she held his hand with their fingers interlocked.
She was so much like his girlfriend; how wonderful it would be if she were truly his girlfriend!
