Chapter 43: Letters
Today is Father's Day, and I wish all the people in the world a happy Father's Day! Happy holidays to the mothers who gave birth to these fathers! Hehe, because I raised two future 'fathers'.
"Cui Can, your letter!"
It's already November, and although the weather is less than the coldest time of the year, Cui Can, who is afraid of the cold, still rarely goes out. There was heating in the classroom, which was not very hot but not bad. As long as Cui Can is in school, he rarely goes out of the classroom except to go to the toilet. So she rarely passes by places like the communication room. Letters and the like were naturally brought by my classmates.
No, Xu Ling walked over with her letter. "You seem to have a lot of letters, huh?" Cui Can looked at the usually silent, but she didn't expect to receive letters almost every week, and the address was still available all over the country, and she didn't know where she got the time to make pen pals.
They are looking forward to love at this time, and books such as "Bosom Friend" and "Story Club" have friend recruitment notices, so many students in school will make a few pen pals. One is to learn about the lives of students across the country, and the other is to show off their social interactions. Children at this age want everyone to think of themselves as adults, and the most obvious sign of adults is that they are socially connected and have many friends. So they all want to be envied by everyone, and making pen pals is naturally the best way, and everyone is a pen pal of the opposite sex, if they can develop a first love or something. Even if they are children in key schools and key classes, it does not prevent them from calling pen pals.
Cui Can just smiled at Xu Ling's question and didn't think about answering. Xu Ling was obviously very accustomed to Cui Can like this, looking at the time, it was still more than twenty minutes before the afternoon class, so he sat on the empty seat in front of Cui Can.
"Cui Can, can I talk to you?"
Cui Can, who was about to tear open the envelope, stopped his movements and looked at this serious Xu Ling suspiciously. Is there anything important he has to say to himself? Right in this classroom? Or do you have any learning problems? But he's been hiding it, and he shouldn't ask himself questions if he has questions? So what is it that makes him rarely show such a serious expression?
In such a short period of time, many thoughts flashed through Cui Can's mind, but Xu Ling on the other side didn't know, but was entangled in what he wanted to say, would it make Cui Can farther away from him? But thinking of the consequences of not saying it, he hesitated. In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to follow his heart.
"We have to talk."
Looking at him as if he had made up his mind, Cui Can was full of expectations. "You think we're okay talking here, do you? I can cooperate with your decision if needed. ”
Xu Ling was puzzled for a moment, but quickly understood what Cui Can meant, and a flush rose on his face, which made it difficult for people not to be crooked. "No, I'm talking to you about studying, so it's good to be here."
Well, what are you blushing for? Cui Can was speechless for such a shy Xu Ling, this expression, this look, made anyone feel like they were bullying him, okay? Didn't you see Jiao Lei glaring at herself? Since it's a matter of learning, why are you so ambiguous? Cui Can looked at Xu Ling, who didn't know it, and could only sigh helplessly.
"Squad leader, you say, I'll listen."
Every time Cui Can called him squad leader, he made Xu Ling break out in a cold sweat on his back, and it was the same at this time. Past experience told him that this was Cui Can's displeasure. So he had to express himself as soon as possible, otherwise she would probably not listen to him.
"Have you been dating more pen pals lately? You must know that you don't have to have many friends, as long as you have three or five friends who can understand yourself, it is enough. And those pen pals who have never met, although it is not excluded to meet a bosom friend, but after all, it is the person hidden behind the paper, and we can't tell what is true or false. So the best thing to do is to take care of what we are looking for. Focus on your studies and don't yearn too much for the adult world. It's not necessarily beautiful, maybe it's disappointment and sadness. ”
Xu Ling, who said this, showed maturity and contemplation on his face that he did not belong to this age, letting Cui Can know that this is a boy with a story and a boy with a sense of responsibility. Cui Can is not curious about his past, but he admires him at this moment, and he is very charming. If it weren't for the fact that he was a mature woman inside, I am afraid that he would be attracted by him at this moment. I have to say that such a boy is really attractive, but thinking of his conjecture about himself, Cui Can is very dissatisfied.
"Squad leader, I don't think I need to explain my private life to you, right? Besides, who told you that these letters belonged to those pen pals? And when have I ever had such a boring pen pal? ”
"Uh......?" This embarrassed Xu Ling. Yes, Cui Can has always been very mature, and she never participates in things that she is curious about at their age, as if she doesn't look at it at all. Look at their expressions, sometimes like children. I've caught it a few times myself, so how could she do such a childish thing? Are some dogs meddling with rats?
Seeing Xu Ling's expression seemed a little embarrassed, Cui Can knew that he had just guessed and came to talk to him. So there was a rare unhappy expression on his face, "Comrade squad leader, I know that you are a good squad leader, I also know that you are a good squad leader who is responsible, and I know that you are a smart squad leader." I will assume that today's incident has never happened, and I hope that it will not happen in the future. Otherwise, I don't know what unpleasant things will happen. ”
Looking at Cui Can's cold expression, Xu Ling showed a wry smile. "I'm sorry I'm a little arbitrary, but you've been writing a lot lately, so I just want to remind you that our students' vocation is to read, and don't focus too much on other things."
"Thank you squad leader for your concern, I'll remember this." Cui Can didn't want to waste any more time with him, and with this time for conversation, he could still think of writing an essay or something. Although this manuscript fee is not very much, it is still a good income for a student. And today's letter, judging by the address, seems to be from the publishing house, so she really wants to read the letter quietly to see what is going on.
Xu Ling also saw Cui Can's displeasure, and he was very disappointed when he was full of enthusiasm to help the lost child get back on the right path. So at that moment, he also dropped the smile he had always had on his face, stood up, left the seat in front of Cui Can, and returned to his own seat.
Cui Can kept watching him return to his seat, not only did he not look at himself again, but he didn't look at others, but he rarely lay on the table, obviously he didn't want to be disturbed. I really hope that he has not been made by himself to lose his enthusiasm for helping others, in this case, isn't it his own sin?
Hehe, I have broken a good seedling that is dedicated to helping others! Thinking about it, Cui Can laughed again. And Jiao Lei, who was obliquely in front of her, although she didn't hear their conversation clearly, but looking at Xu Ling's unhappiness and Cui Can's smiling face, she made up some plots in her brain, and it was even more unpleasant to Cui Can, who had always been unpleasant. It looks like he wants to be an enemy for the rest of his life, and he is glaring at Cui Can at this time, as if his eyes can help Xu Ling take revenge.
Cui Can's five senses were keen, and she naturally received the hostility from Jiao Lei, but she ignored and didn't take this girl's threat in her eyes. Bowing his head and continuing the action he had just made, he tore open the envelope. Inside is a letter written by the editor of the publishing house, not a letter that looks like that.
The editor of the letter praised Cui Can's writing, expressed his liking for her, and talked about the sales of the last book, and finally congratulated her, a girl has become a rich person. For a sixteen-year-old girl, he praised him for being able to achieve such a great achievement. You know, it's been released three times now, and everyone is looking forward to the next volume.
Cui Can's book has created a new world for readers, a somewhat fantasy world of romance. Many readers wrote to her that they wanted to communicate directly with her, if Cui Can hadn't anticipated this situation and signed a confidentiality agreement with the publishing house, he would have been a little unable to resist such enthusiasm.
He was very curious about what Cui Can thought and how he conceived such a strange book. Although his words somewhat exaggerated Cui Can's achievements, he really thought so. And the main thing in writing this letter is to tell Cui Can that he will have a trip to the Northeast, and he will stop by to see her and have a good chat with her. And according to the time he scheduled, maybe around November 134th. Today is November 12th, and this letter is really timely.
After reading the letter, Cui Can's brows furrowed. The editor-in-chief is coming over? Do you want to meet yourself? Although he already knew his age and knew some of his own conditions, would he be a little disappointed in himself when he came to see him? At this moment, Cui Can was nervous, the first time he was nervous since he was reborn. I know my own faults, and my mouth is stupid! This was true in previous lives, and it is still like this now. There are some words in the book, she can say them vividly, but in reality, she can't say them. Maybe it can be said that Cui Can is an expression barrier, many times he understands it in his heart, but it is difficult to say it when he really declares it.
At this moment, she was very worried about the upcoming meeting, and when she thought of the editor's writing, she was very excited, and it was the nervous excitement of fans to see their idols. That is the writer I have liked since my previous life, and in this life I can not only correspond with him, but also meet him. What kind of mood is this? Thinking about it, I'm afraid I'm going to lose sleep at night.
Oh, and the costumes, you can't wear your school uniform to meet your idols, right? And she has never thought about dressing up since she was reborn, and for the first time, she feels that she really needs to buy clothes. Tomorrow, it's Friday, if the editor comes, you can go to the school to find yourself, but what if you come the day after tomorrow? Cui Can had to rejoice that he hadn't taken a big week off at this time.
