Seeing Lin Xi finally smile, Lu Chenyu's mood instantly brightened. He felt that this was the first time in his life he truly felt happy.
Returning to his seat, he cleared his throat lightly, straightened up, and glanced sideways at Lin Xi. However, he still didn't dare to smile at her or greet her.
In the past few days, Lu Chenyu had been very cautious around Lin Xi, careful with every step. When entering or leaving his seat, he no longer arrogantly tapped on Lin Xi's desk as before; instead, he respectfully stood beside her and waited for her to get up. If Lin Xi didn't notice him, he would lightly cough to indicate that he wanted to enter or exit.
He often looked at her with a flattering gaze.
Lin Xi was not a stubborn or unreasonable person; in fact, she was naturally gentle and kind-hearted. Over the past few days, seeing Lu Chenyu not only restrain his previous arrogance but also seem to have become much more obedient as Yao Mengni said, Lin Xi found it hard to resist and her heart softened.
Just now, seeing him look at her with a flattering gaze again, Lin Xi imitated him and lightly coughed, straightening her posture.
A note, powder blue in color, fluttered down like a delicate butterfly onto Lu Chenyu's desk.
He immediately picked up the powder blue butterfly and unfolded it. "Thank you."
The pure blue ink was neatly written. He understood the meaning of the three words "thank you," expressing gratitude for picking up the textbook that had fallen at his feet and for all the changes he had made for her.
He smiled gently, feeling a bit shy and bashful.
He carefully folded the note back into a butterfly shape and tucked it into a notebook in his backpack.
He did all this in front of Lin Xi, who no longer avoided looking at him while he did so.
When he finished everything, Lin Xi kept biting her lip and smiling lightly.
Everything seemed to happen too quickly and felt too smooth and natural. For this smoothness and naturalness, Lin Xi felt neither unease nor surprise.
Lu Chenyu felt the same way.
Because both of them were easygoing individuals who warmed up quickly to others, they were not good at holding grudges or keeping their thoughts to themselves.
So once they resolved their misunderstandings, neither held any grudges, naturally accepting each other like a gentle breeze or light rain.
After reconciling, Lin Xi and Lu Chenyu did not immediately become as lively as other classmates; instead, they remained like a gentle breeze or the spring light of March, slowly nurturing some feelings for each other in places unseen by others.
He thought they would always be like this, as desk mates or classmates. If they could continue like this, or perhaps become close friends who shared everything, or maybe their early feelings would wither away too soon.
Throughout the end of 1998, winter was very cold, but Lin Xi was almost completely immersed in the gentle breeze and light rain, and she had nearly forgotten about Qinglan and An Shaojie.
It wasn't until a day between Christmas and New Year's Day that she received another letter from Simple, which reminded her that she had yet to write a letter to Qinglan and Brother Shaojie. She had forgotten to send them a postcard for Christmas and New Year's Day.
A postcard doesn't require many words; just a simple blessing would suffice, but Lin Xi forgot.
However, why did Qinglan and Brother Shaojie also forget to send her their blessings?
The last time Simple wrote to her, Lin Xi had given her communication address to Simple and asked her to pass it on to Qinglan and An Shaojie.
Had Qinglan and An Shaojie really forgotten about her?
Indeed, Qinglan and An Shaojie had also forgotten about her, just as she had forgotten about them. A sudden event entangled Qinglan and An Shaojie, leaving them unsettled as they entered their sophomore semester.
So at the beginning of the sophomore year, after Simple provided Lin Xi's contact information to Qinglan and An Shaojie, neither of them felt inclined to reply to Lin Xi's letters.
The incident occurred on a day before the summer vacation of their sophomore year.
At that time, Shaw Min was facing the intense pressure of preparing for the college entrance examination.
Yes, the incident that happened before summer vacation was related to Shaw Min.
Since that winter night in sophomore year when An Shaojie suddenly went to Shaw Min's school to talk with her, he returned to school and began to carefully reflect on his relationships with Qinglan and Lin Xi.
Recalling some childhood scenes and friendships, it was natural for Lin Xi to occupy an important place in An Shaojie's heart, bringing him warm memories.
But Qinglan, although she did not provide him with the safety, warmth, and reliance that Lin Xi did, also seemed not to have caused him any harm; instead, he had given her some indifference and hurt.
As Shaw Min said, although he did not agree with how he misunderstood her father, her father was still her father, and her mother was still her mother. Even if they had indeed brought him shame and pain, it had nothing to do with Qinglan; she had never harmed him.
So after returning to school, An Shaojie spent an entire night thinking through his relationships with Qinglan and Lin Xi until he finally fell asleep late.
The next day, I woke up feeling a bit dizzy. Holding my meal tray and carrying my water bottle, I went to the cafeteria for breakfast and to fill up my water. After filling the water, I placed the bottle in the designated area and then went to get my breakfast.
After finishing breakfast, the usually meticulous An Shaojie surprisingly forgot to take his water bottle and went straight back to the dormitory.
Shortly after, Qinglan, who had just finished her breakfast, walked over to the water bottle storage area. She picked up her own water bottle and suddenly noticed that An Shaojie's water bottle was still there.
During breakfast, she had been sitting at a table not far from An Shaojie, watching him the whole time.
She had just seen him leave the cafeteria.
So it was clear that he had forgotten to take his water bottle.
Such things often happen at school; the broadcasting station frequently announces lost items. They would say that a certain student's water bottle was left behind and ask anyone who found it to return it to a specific dorm room, describing the color and shape of the bottle. Some students even stick notes on their bottles with transparent tape, writing their names, dorm numbers, or class information so that it can be returned promptly if found.
An Shaojie's water bottle had his name and dorm number taped on it!
Qinglan stood by the water bottles with her meal tray for a moment, and when she confirmed that An Shaojie wasn't coming back for it, she became sure he really had forgotten. She picked up both her own and An Shaojie's water bottles and headed back to the dormitory.
After dropping off her own water bottle in her room, Qinglan grabbed her backpack and walked toward An Shaojie's dormitory.
The girls' dormitory was closer to the cafeteria, while the boys' dormitory was nearer to the classrooms. On her way to class, Qinglan planned to drop off An Shaojie's water bottle. Just as she reached the entrance of the boys' dormitory building, she was about to greet the lady at the front desk when she saw An Shaojie walking out with his backpack. "Brother Shaojie."
