Love Letters

Chapter 116 Lie to her

"Oh."

He Miao lowered his head and began to shovel rice into his mouth, ready to give up the idea.

"You can learn not only in school, but also through extracurricular activities, which is a great learning experience."

He Dahai suddenly became interested, stopped what he was doing and took out his wallet.

"How much is it? Dad will pay for it for you."

Hearing this, He Miao's eyes lit up and he began to explain, "The teacher said to pay 2,000 first, and then I can refund the difference later..."

She looked at the two men's faces from the side, and her voice suddenly became weaker as she spoke.

"How many?"

Zhang Meili became anxious, as if she had heard a number she shouldn't have heard.

She put down her bowl and chopsticks, and said firmly, "No, I won't go no matter what. It's too expensive."

"Ok."

He Miao also felt that it was expensive and the school was asking for too much.

Although it is a budget, it is too much.

In order to ease the atmosphere, He Dahai changed the subject and said, "By the way, I heard that you had the first monthly exam of this semester right after the school sports meet..."

"I am full."

He Miao picked up the last grain of rice in the bowl and ate it, then picked up the bowl and was about to run away.

"stop........."

He Miao was suddenly stopped by Zhang Meili, and he felt an eerie chill coming from behind him.

Since the announcement of the autumn outing, the class began to organize students to sign up voluntarily.

"Squad leader, are there many people who have signed up?"

He Miao said she just wanted to ask and didn't think much about it.

Of course I am envious, but not to the extent that I lose my appetite because I can't go there.

Chen Fangfang seemed very busy and said without turning her head, "It's OK."

"It's OK, what's that?"

Not too much, not too little, I don’t know whether it is too much or too little.”

She spoke lightly while taking notes.

Looking at many of Chen Fangfang's classmates lining up to register and pay the fees, He Miao felt a little disappointed.

But after thinking about it, she quickly figured it out.

It’s just some hiking and picnic. She will have plenty of opportunities in the future.

High school students should study hard.

Yes! As long as she studies hard, prepares for the college entrance examination, gets into college, and changes her fate...she will have the opportunity to choose whether to climb mountains or go to the sea.

She didn't want to just have a simple dream in the brightest and most colorful halo of youth.

"Student Councillor, are you going?"

I don't know who asked this, and then He Miao heard the person next to him answer indifferently: "No."

Hearing that one more companion would not go, He Miao felt less annoyed.

The vine branches spread to the windowsill, as if if she leaned there, the wind would take her to a free world.

Looking out the window at the autumn trees, some green, some yellow, some lush green, some shining golden...

Each of them is divided into breathing bookmarks by the iron bars of the window.

"He Miao, can you help me take the money to Teacher Hu?"

He Miao, who was about to go back, suddenly heard Chen Fangfang's request.

She stuffed the money in the envelope into He Miao's hand and said, "I really trust you and that's why I'm asking for your help."

"But I..."

"Just think of it as a contribution to the class."

Chen Fangfang looked sincere and pleaded again and again.

"Please, I'm really in a hurry now."

Seeing her anxious face, He Miao could only agree.

"OK then."

But soon after agreeing, He Miao regretted it.

Because entering Hu Datu's office is like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, which is tantamount to seeking death.

It was rare that she took the initiative to go there without having to wait for someone to call her.

"He Miao, you came at the right time. I have something to talk to you about this exam."

Whenever Hu Datu got the chance, he would lecture her.

He cited her grades, from Chinese to English, from math to comprehensive science...

I waited for a long time until Hu Datu finished scolding me.

He Miao was finally about to leave, but before she even stepped out of the office door, he was stopped by him again.

"Wait! Let's check the money first."

"Ow."

After being reminded by him, He Miao went back obediently although he was reluctant.

So the two of them started counting the money.

Hu Datu counted first, and then He Miao counted again.

They each counted three times, and luckily the numbers were the same.

Otherwise I have to do it three more times...

“Are you sure it’s that much money?”

Hu Datu weighed the money and suddenly looked up and asked her in a serious tone.

"Ah, I haven't opened it. I got whatever the monitor gave me."

He Miao spoke firmly and frankly.

"Then Chen Fangfang didn't tell you the number of applicants?"

She shook her head honestly, "No."

"So, only this many students are participating?"

"You'll have to ask the squad leader. I only know that I only brought this much money."

He Miao answered honestly, neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Hu Datu was anxious, "How come you don't know anything?"

"That's because I'm just an errand boy, of course."

He Miao’s resentment was about to fill the entire English office.

Hu Datu sighed, "Okay, go back."

"Oh."

He Miao thought it was not worth it to run errands and get scolded for nothing.

Later, she would ask Chen Fangfang to repay her for this favor.

It was just after school and the upstairs was bustling with activity and the noise was endless.

She looked up and saw boys and girls lying on the railings or walking along the corridors...

At that moment she clearly realized that she had returned to her youth. This was her youth.

He Miao went back to the classroom to get her schoolbag and heard two people talking when she passed by the stairs.

It was the voices of Xu Mobai and Du Yuze.

The two stood under the camphor tree behind the laboratory building.

One faces the sunset, the other faces the light.

Curiosity really killed the cat.

She could only see Xu Mobai's back, and his whole body seemed to be glowing under the reflection of the sunset.

He Miao wanted to leave, but she heard her name...

If you don't mention her words, she will leave, but if you mention her words, she will listen to it out loud.

There was a silence between the two, as if they didn't know how to break the silent atmosphere.

"So you lied to He Miao?"

Du Yuze turned to look at him, a puzzled look on his face.

Xu Mobai suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance. After a long while, he finally spoke in a faint voice: "Yeah."
