Chapter 290:
Yun Chennan walked around the classroom and finally, holding the blackboard eraser, went to the back to erase the ‘1’ and meticulously wrote a ‘0’.
There are 0 days left until the college entrance examination.
“Click…”
Yun Chennan turned his head to look; his younger brother was taking pictures of him with a camera.
He just glanced at it and let him be.
“Third Brother, where did you used to sit?”
As Yun Chennan was staring blankly at the classroom, Yun Jiao walked up to him and asked.
He came back to his senses and pointed to the third seat in the row furthest to the window.
“I used to sit in the innermost seat.”
“I used to sit there.”
He pointed to the middle seat: “Because I’m nearsighted, sitting closer made things clearer, but after getting glasses, I preferred sitting by the window, it’s quieter there.”
“There were too many people in the middle, always coming and going, which was troublesome. The side by the corridor was too noisy when class ended. Only that side was quiet enough, and I could look at the flowers and trees outside when I was tired.”
Yun Jiao happily skipped towards the direction he pointed.
Then she sat in Yun Chennan’s seat. She thought that since most people had already left, there wouldn’t be anything under the desk.
But when Yun Jiao reached into the desk, she pulled out a letter.
Yun Jiao: (⊙o⊙)
What is this? She was curious.
“Third Brother, is this your letter? Why is this here?”
Yun Chennan also looked bewildered.
Yun Chenbei’s speed was astonishing. He swiftly snatched the letter from Yun Jiao’s hand and opened it.
After a quick glance at the letter’s contents, Yun Chenbei’s gaze towards his brother gradually became meaningful.
Yun Chennan: ………
“I want to see too, let me see.”
She found it, so how could she not be allowed to see it?
Before Yun Jiao could see, Yun Chennan had already taken it back.
With just a glance, he knew what the letter was about, his expression unchanged.
He had received many such letters before and was accustomed to them.
“What is it, what is it? Third Brother, hurry and show me.”
Yun Jiao was so anxious.
Yun Chennan: “No, this is not something a child should see.”
Yun Jiao: I won’t listen!
She jumped up and clung to her Third Brother, then quickly snatched the letter.
Yun Chennan almost fell over from his sister’s ridiculously great strength.
In a moment of carelessness, it was truly snatched away, and he quickly chased after it.
Yun Jiao’s legs were short, but she ran fast.
She ran while reading the letter.
“Wow… so there’s a girl who likes Third Brother.”
There was nothing that couldn’t be seen. People in this era expressed themselves quite subtly; although it was a love letter, it was written like poetry. How could it be something a child couldn’t see?
Yun Chennan didn’t think much of it at first, but being teased by his sister like this made his ears turn red.
He snatched the letter back: “I’m still young now. Compared to love, I want to focus my energy on more important things.”
He opened the letter, took out a pen from his pocket, sat back down at his seat, and began writing earnestly below the letter.
He was not moved by others’ affection, but he cherished it. At least from his current perspective, it did not harm his own affections and was worthy of gratitude. However, he could not reciprocate.
Youth is short, and he wanted to use this brief time to enrich himself, strengthen himself, and then dedicate himself to the field he loved.
After writing the reply, Yun Chennan put the letter back into the envelope.
He also put it back into the desk.
“Let’s go.”
Goodbye, Yun Chennan of high school.
Leaving the classroom, he held Yun Jiao’s hand and turned to Yun Chenbei, saying,
“Get the photos developed for me.”
Yun Chenbei nodded.
“Okay.”
Yun Chennan took them to eat outside the school. On the way, they met several classmates and greeted them with smiles.
They were also interested in Yun Jiao.
“This is your sister? She’s so good-looking. No wonder you always talk about her.”
Yun Jiao blinked her eyes: “Brother talks about me often?”
“Of course!”
The person put an arm on Yun Chennan’s shoulder, with a sunny smile on his face.
“I’m Yun Chennan’s best brother. This guy, besides studying and doing practice problems every day, the most he talks about besides these is having a smart, beautiful, and super well-behaved sister at home.”
The person sitting opposite them at this moment was Chu An, Third Brother’s deskmate and roommate. The two had a very good relationship.
The main reason was that Chu An was too lively and enthusiastic. When Yun Chennan was at school, he was the type who spoke little and seemed a bit aloof.
Chu An was the opposite. Under his constant pestering, Yun Chennan’s relationship with him had become quite good over time, and he was willing to tell him some family matters.
Yun Jiao was very happy, the curve of her smile widening, revealing her dimples on one side of her cheeks.
“By the way, Yun Chennan, we agreed that I’ll come to your place to play after the exams.”
Yun Chennan nodded and hummed in agreement.
The four people at the table ate and chatted, it was quite lively.
Yun Jiao was slurping her noodles when she suddenly had a sharp feeling that someone was looking in their direction.
It wasn’t an accident; they had been looking for quite a while.
Yun Jiao followed the gaze and found a girl with two braided pigtails and glasses.
Her gaze wasn’t on her but on Third Brother.
As if noticing Yun Jiao looking at her, the girl quickly lowered her head, hugged her books, and hurried away.
Yun Jiao tilted her head and nudged her brother’s arm.
“Brother, do you know that person? She was looking at you just now.”
Yun Chennan looked in the direction she pointed, but only saw a receding back. As if sensing something, the girl paused, looked back, gave Yun Chennan a deep look, seemed to say something, and then left without looking back.
Yun Chennan was stunned because he recognized the girl.
She was also a classmate in their class, the one who wrote that letter today.
“It’s classmate Li Sisi.”
“Yun Chennan, could she like you? Several girls in our class like you. Sister Yun Jiao, you don’t know, your brother is very popular at school.”
Yun Chennan gave him a threatening look.
Chu An chuckled: “Oh, don’t be shy. You’re not bad-looking, you study well, and you have good character. It’s quite normal for girls to like you.”
Students at this age, especially in this era, had a good impression of people who performed well academically.
Yun Chennan’s appearance was an added bonus. When his skin was dark, he didn’t look bad, and when his skin was fair, he had an air of gentle scholarly charm, which attracted girls even more.
High school is an age of restlessness for adolescent boys and girls, so wanting to fall in love is normal.
However, Yun Chennan was solely focused on his studies, and those who liked him would ultimately only leave a special imprint in his memory.
As time passed, they would all encounter many things and people in the future, but the vibrancy of their youth would always be hidden deep in their memories. There might be regrets, but they would eventually move forward.
