Chapter 344 Jiang Yuqing's Secret

Yang Tiantian: "Sure! I found the contact information in this magazine. Take a look and choose a good friend!"

After saying that, Yang Tiantian handed Shi Shuyue a magazine called "Reader" that was on the bed. Then she pointed out the place where the contact information was written and showed it to her.

Shi Shuyue flipped through several pages, looking at this one and scrutinizing that one like an ancient emperor choosing his concubines, and finally chose a boy whose address was on the Qinghai-Tibet grassland and made him her friend.

She borrowed some stationery from Yang Tiantian and began writing a letter while lying on the bed. She had only just begun when she asked Yang Tiantian a very important question.

"Sweetie, did he reply to your letter? We're not going to send it and then have it disappear into thin air, are we? It would be a waste of our feelings to not write it at all!"

Yang Tiantian smiled sweetly, "I replied, how could I not? They paid for leaving their address in the magazine. If they didn't want to make friends sincerely, why would they spend that money?"

Shi Shuyue thought this made a lot of sense. If she didn't want to make friends, why bother with all this trouble? Was she just bored?

So she lowered her head and continued writing her first letter to her future friend.

Some of the other girls in the dormitory also had the idea of ​​trying to find a pen pal, just like they did.

Some dismissed it, saying they already had so many friends around them, why bother looking for friends from afar?

They're so far away, and I don't know anything about their character. I guess I should just stick to the friendships I have with the people around me!

It's not about the quantity of friends, but about their character. If your friends are all fair-weather friends or people who kick you when you're down, it's better to have no friends at all.

Zhu Yanan, Yun Ya, and Tong Jiahui are all from the same hometown and know each other well. They don't need to teach any friends from afar, so they are naturally the ones who look down on them.

Meanwhile, Qi Qiaodi's friend, Jiang Yuqing, was also reading a letter in the bed next to hers. Her expression as she read the letter was quite intriguing.

Her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, her features as lovely as jade, and her heart as gentle as spring water rippling with clear waves. It was obvious she was in love. She kept trying to suppress a laugh, her shoulders trembling, and she couldn't stop the smile from playing on her lips.

Qi Qiaodi noticed her best friend's unusual behavior and looked at her strangely, asking who she was reading the letter from and why she was so happy.

Jiang Yuqing, like a naughty student caught by her homeroom teacher secretly passing notes, was so frightened that she quickly hid the letter behind her back.

She said timidly, "No...no...no, I...I was reading a storybook. Yes, that's right, a storybook."

Qi Qiaodi looked at her with the same mischievous glint in her eye, like a bad uncle trying to lure a child, and said, "Oh, what storybook is it? You seem to be enjoying it so much. When you're done, can I borrow it?"

Jiang Yuqing didn't have any storybooks, but to avoid being exposed, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and change her story: "Oh, no, it wasn't the storybook that made me laugh, it was..."

In a split second, her mind raced, and she came up with countless excuses before finally saying, "Oh, right, I got a letter from home. It told me a lot of happy things, so I couldn't help but laugh."

Qi Qiaodi didn't believe her nonsense. If it were a letter from home, she wouldn't lie.

Regardless of whether the letter was from home or not, as a friend, she couldn't read its contents.

That's so unethical. She, Qi Qiaodi, is a morally upright and well-behaved citizen.

Qi Qiaodi suspected that this matter was related to the man who had saved them last time. And she was right.

The letter really was from that young man. Since she had left her phone number last time, Jiang Yuqing called him a few times when she had some free time. Jiang Yuqing didn't leave her dormitory building's phone number, but only her own address, asking him to write to her when he had time.

Because there are some things you can't say on the phone, but in a letter you can say whatever you want, and no one will know.

After exchanging letters several times, the two actually started dating. However, Jiang Yuqing didn't tell her best friend Qi Qiaodi about this, fearing that Qi Qiaodi would object to their relationship.

The young man's name is Shen Xingchen. He is from Haishi City and currently works as an auxiliary police officer in the traffic police brigade of Luoquanzhuang Town.

It was a coincidence that I ran into Jiang Yuqing and her companion who were being bullied when I went out to buy things last time.

Unexpectedly, after rescuing the two, one of the girls asked for his contact information. He didn't take it seriously, thinking that the girl would forget about it after a while.

Three days after returning home, Shen Xingchen was surprised to find that the girl who had asked for his phone number actually called him.

Shen Xingchen answered the phone and chatted with Jiang Yuqing for a few minutes before Jiang Yuqing invited him out for lunch on Saturday, saying she wanted to thank him in person.

Shen Xingchen declined, saying it was a small matter and there was no need to treat everyone to a meal.

But Jiang Yuqing said, "If you don't come, I'll wait for you at the restaurant called (Hao Zai Lai Restaurant) in the market. I'll wait until you show up."

After saying that, Jiang Yuqing hung up the phone. Shen Xingchen had no choice but to go and pay for the meal herself. She would just consider it her treat.

On Saturday, Shen Xingchen actually went to keep the appointment. He was afraid that if he didn't go, the girl would foolishly wait until dark, and he would not be doing a good deed but becoming a bad person.

When he arrived at the restaurant entrance, he indeed saw the little girl waiting there.

The little girl was wearing a floral print sundress, and her long, black hair cascaded over her shoulders.

Its big eyes scanned its surroundings, as if waiting for someone. Shen Xingchen immediately guessed that it was waiting for her.

Shen Xingchen quickly stepped forward, and Jiang Yuqing's eyes lit up, and a smile immediately bloomed on her face.

"You're here." Her voice was soft, her eyes full of joy. The two went into the restaurant and found a seat by the window.

When ordering, Jiang Yuqing handed the menu to Shen Xingchen and let him choose the dishes.

Seeing her enthusiasm, Shen Xingchen didn't refuse and casually ordered a few home-style dishes. During the meal, the two chatted about their lives.

When Shen Xingchen talked about his work at the town's traffic police brigade, Jiang Yuqing listened attentively, occasionally letting out exclamations of surprise and concern.

Jiang Yuqing also shared some funny stories from her time in the dormitory, which made Shen Xingchen laugh out loud.

The meal was warm and pleasant, and when it came time to pay the bill, Shen Xingchen insisted on paying first.

After dinner, they strolled along the street, the sun shining warmly on them.

Jiang Yuqing mustered her courage and gently took Shen Xingchen's hand. Shen Xingchen was stunned for a moment, her heart skipped a beat, and then she smiled and held Jiang Yuqing's hand tightly in return.

He also likes pretty girls; when he first rescued them, he thought this girl was really beautiful.

He never imagined he would have such an intimate moment with this gentle and beautiful girl. How could he refuse?

Looking at the youthful and radiant girl in front of him, especially her big eyes, which seemed to speak volumes when they looked at him, he found himself unconsciously captivated.

Upon receiving the response, Jiang Yuqing's heart pounded wildly, like a deer leaping in the air.

She hadn't expected Shen Xingchen to accept her so quickly; it felt like a dream, unreal.

But she can't rush things. After all, to establish a romantic relationship, she needs to carefully learn about the other person.

So she asked for Shen Xingchen's mailing address, saying they could contact each other by letter. They could also go out shopping and have meals together when they had time.

Although we live close by and can meet anytime, it's inconvenient to make a phone call, so I'll write a letter instead!

The two agreed to be friends first and then discuss the future, letting their romantic relationship develop naturally.

They met a few more times after that. Shen Xingchen even took a taxi to Haishi City, where they watched a movie and had a meal in the city center.

And so their date officially began. Of course, this was a secret from their best friend, Qi Qiaodi. It was her secret; they'd tell her later, once they were officially a couple!

Shen Xingchen was very generous and bought her a beautiful pleated skirt. Jiang Yuqing was very happy and bought him a pair of sneakers as a return gift.

From then on, Jiang Yuqing wore this pleated skirt to every date. Shen Xingchen was also very considerate, treating the sneakers like a treasure, rarely wearing them except for dates.

Although he has many shoes, and these aren't the most expensive ones, they were the first gift his girlfriend gave him.

Shen Xingchen cherishes this gift and also cherishes his current girlfriend.

This was also his first girlfriend. Back in school, girls always pursued him, bringing him snacks and gifts, but he was only focused on his studies and didn't pay any attention to these things.

He has now met someone who makes his heart flutter, and he values ​​this relationship and cherishes everything he has now.
