Chapters 435~436: Pen Pals

"Huh? Fourth child, don't you have a big brother, why are you still writing letters?" The third child in the dormitory asked curiously.

Feng Yu said casually: "Oh, I just made a pen pal."

Pen pals are a very popular way to make friends in this era, especially among young students. Of course, Feng Yu didn't just make pen pals casually, and this time, it's definitely not for business.

This letter from him was addressed to her in her previous life!

Zhou Kexin, from Jiangcheng, just entered high school this year, likes to read books and newspapers, and his dream is to be a reporter.

I just walked into the campus today and saw an envelope with my name on it pasted on the window of the reception room.

The school didn't seem to have the same name as hers, and after a closer look at the class, the letter was indeed for her.

"Grandpa Li, I'm here to get the letter. My name is Zhou Kexin, and I'm in Class 1 and 3 of Senior High."

"Little girl, it's terrible, your family still has relatives in the capital university. Are you going to take the entrance examination for the capital university? Then you have to study hard. The entrance examination for the capital university is not easy." Lao Li took down the letter Handed it to Zhou Kexin, and said with a smile.

Zhou Kexin smiled politely, said thank you, and took the letter away.

After reading the envelope, she finally understood why Grandpa Li said that. This letter was actually sent by Capital University! But her family has no relatives in the capital, not even friends, who will send her a letter?

Until returning home from school, Zhou Kexin didn't dare to take out the letter for fear that others would see it. When she finished her homework and went to bed, she secretly opened the letter, took a flashlight, and read it under the covers.

This is a friend letter, not a boyfriend or girlfriend, but a pen pal.

Pen pals are said to be young people who have returned to the city from the countryside, with friends who were in the countryside. Or friends who have not returned to the city, a way to tell each other how we miss each other. At that time, there were no telephone calls in many places, and the telephone charges were very expensive, so I could only express my feelings by sending letters.

In the beginning, men and women sent letters and postcards between men and women, and later it became ordinary friends, and they also sent letters in the same way, talking about interesting things in life and study.

And pen pals. Most of them are girls, probably because girls prefer to talk to strangers and need more comfort from others.

Zhou Kexin wanted to make a pen pal a long time ago, but she never knew who to write to. Students have written letters to others, but many of them have not received a single reply after a semester. Not everyone likes to make pen pals.

This person studied at Capital University, so how did he know her contact information? And there is actually a postcard of Van Loon in this company. How did he know that she liked Fang Long? Maybe the other party thinks that Van Loon is a big star, and people all over the country like it.

The letter said how beautiful the capital university is, but the female students of the capital university are generally not very good looking. So he came to a great conclusion - a talented woman is not a beautiful woman!

He also said that he has always wanted to visit Jiangcheng, and he heard that Jiangcheng is very beautiful, but he never had the chance. It's just that his water skills are not good, so he didn't know he was in Jiangcheng. will not be drowned.

She read the letter carefully three times, it was so interesting. A talented woman is not a beautiful woman, so does that mean that a talented woman is an ugly woman? And Jiangcheng is just called Jiangcheng. How could he be drowned if he wasn't floating on the river?

It's just that the above didn't mention how to know her contact information at all.

I didn't mention why I wrote her a letter, I only wrote some small things in my study and life, and I looked forward to Zhou Kexin's reply. At the end of the letter, the signature is "the second most handsome man in the world", and he also drew a very cute self-portrait.

The second most handsome man in the world? How can someone use this as a pseudonym? It's not modest at all, but it's so interesting.

At this time, when most people choose a pen name, they all want to reveal the meaning of purity and elegance. For example, it was called Baixue, Hanmei, and Xinyue (there was also a pen name that was very popular at the time, called Bai~jie, ahem, this changed later, you know), it was the first time she heard that someone with the pen name "The second most handsome man in the world"!

This "second most handsome man in the world" wants to make pen pals with me? This is a letter from Capital University. The second handsome man in the world must be a great talent from Capital University!

But isn't this great talent a little... naughty? The name is too immodest!

But no matter what, Zhou Kexin was so happy when he received a letter asking for a pen pal. He couldn't help but read the letter several times, and finally he could memorize the contents of the letter before putting the letter on his pillow. Put it away, with a smile, and go to sleep sweetly.

When I woke up the next morning, I opened the pillow and saw that the letter was still there, so I breathed a sigh of relief. Yesterday was not a dream, she really had a pen pal!

The second most handsome man in the world, although the name is a bit funny, but the pen writing is beautiful, and the story is vivid and interesting, and the writing style is witty and humorous. The important thing is, this is a great talent from Capital University!

When eating breakfast in the morning, Zhou's mother asked her why she always smiled secretly. She excused that there was a question yesterday, and she was the only one in the class who got it right, and Zhou's mother happily praised her a few more words.

On the way to school, Zhou Kexin still laughed out loud from time to time. Even in class in the morning, she often lost her mind, thinking about the content of that letter in her mind.

At noon that day, Zhou Kexin was in the classroom while his classmates were going to eat, writing a reply letter in a large notebook.

After writing it, I read it several times and revised it several times. Finally, it was copied on a new piece of letter paper, carefully folded, sandwiched in a book, and stuffed into a schoolbag.

"Kexin, after school, why don't you leave?"

"Let's go first today, I still have something to send to the teacher." Zhou Kexin said in a panic. She didn't want others to know about her pen pal, it was her own secret, even if this person was her classmate and good friend for many years in junior high school.

"Then I'll wait for you?"

"No, you go first, I'll go back by myself in a while, anyway, it's getting dark now."

"Okay then, be careful on the road. I'll go first, bye."

Zhou Kexin waited for ten minutes before carrying his schoolbag and riding his bicycle. But this time she didn't run in the direction of going home, but turned in the direction of the post office.

The post office is closed, but there are also envelopes and stamps sold in the small shop opposite.

Zhou Kexin copied the address, and in the recipient's column, wrote "the second most handsome man in the world" neatly. The owner of the small shop took a few glances at Zhou Kexin, who is this girl writing to, the second handsomest person in the world... and someone with this name?

He thought about it. Come to think of it, it should be a pseudonym. But to come up with such a pseudonym, this young man must not have studied well, has no culture, and doesn't even know how to be modest. Wait, the mailing address is Capital University? Uh~~ This pseudonym is still very modest, at least I didn't say that I am the most handsome in the world!

Carefully stuff the letter into the envelope, glue the stamp carefully, and seal the envelope. Gently drying the glue and smoothing the folds on the envelope with his hands, Zhou Kexin stuffed the letter into the mailbox at the entrance of the post office, expecting the postman to see the letter tomorrow, and delivered the letter as quickly as possible. The letter was sent to the capital, to the hands of "the second handsome man in the world".

...

"Hey, who do you think this is? He has such a thick skin. He is actually called the second most handsome man in the world?"

"Who says it's not? Isn't this a prank? Was the letter sent by mistake?"

"No way, this font looks like a girl. Do girls play tricks? Besides, where are we? Capital University, isn't the address correct?"

"Then tell me, which girl will be the third ugliest in the world?"

As soon as Feng Yu arrived in the classroom, he heard Tian Lei and the others arguing. Is this letter a prank? Feng Yu also wanted to laugh at first, but when he heard that he was the second most handsome man in the world. Only then did he realize that this was a pseudonym he had chosen at will.

"Ahem, Squad Leader Tian, ​​that letter, uh~~~ is mine."

Shua~~~

People around are staring at Feng Yu, just like watching monkeys in a zoo.

"Why, can't I use this pseudonym?" Feng Yu roared. This group of people simply can't understand the buddy's sense of humor!

"Pseudonym? Is this a reply letter from your pen pal?" Tian Lei raised his letter and asked.

If this letter hadn't written their class, he wouldn't have gotten it back at all. He still remembers the way the teacher looked at him when he received the letter from the office, as if the letter belonged to him.

The teacher couldn't help but suspect that Tian Lei was the monitor of the class, and all the letters in the class were brought back by Tian Lei from the teacher. The teacher thought that only Tian Lei would take such a name, and he was not afraid of other students seeing it.

It never occurred to him that this letter was from Feng Yu, and Feng Yu never considered that this name was not accepted by everyone.

Feng Yu snatched the letter and stuffed it into his pocket: "Why, you haven't made any pen pals?"

"Yes, but we have never taken such an arrogant pen name. Come on, tell us, you are the second most handsome in the world, who is the most handsome in the world that day?" the third child in the dormitory booed.

Feng Yu held his head high, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and said two words: "My dad!"

The surrounding students "..."

"Uh~~~ Fourth brother, are you all so confident?" Tian Lei couldn't help asking.

Feng Yu rolled his eyes at him, walked to the corner silently, and opened the letter.

"The weather here in Jiangcheng is very hot, and it's a bit stuffy... The Chinese teacher has a male duck voice. Whenever he speaks, the students want to laugh... The math teacher is bald. Once in class, when he scratched his head, the wig fell off. The classmates We just know..."

Between the lines, there are some interesting stories about the school. At the end, she also talked about her troubles. She wanted to go to a big city, the capital or a big city like Shanghai, but her family disagreed, so she was only allowed to take the exam in Jiangcheng. Just waiting to pick up my mother's class. She wanted to ask Feng Yu what to do.

The corners of Feng Yu's mouth rose slightly. Her parents just said that, she was admitted to a university in Shanghai, and her parents agreed. Could it be that she is really not allowed to go to university? This silly girl is still so innocent.

It was time for class, but Feng Yu didn't pay attention, and even laughed out loud.

The old professor on the podium immediately looked at Feng Yu with displeasure: "That classmate, stand up. Is my lecture funny?"

Feng Yu didn't realize it for a long time. It wasn't until the third child not far away threw a pencil over that he realized that the professor was talking to him.

"Professor Li, what did you say?" Feng Yu looked blank.

"Let me ask you, do you think my lecture is funny!" Professor Li asked word by word. With that expression, Feng Yu suspected that if he dared to say yes, he would be cut into pieces!

"No."

"No? Why are you laughing without you?!" Professor Li asked sharply.

This Feng Yu thought he could do whatever he wanted by providing the school with some research funding? This is Capital University, the highest institution in China. There are so many people who can't get in, but there are still people who don't study hard!

Maybe Professor Li is a veteran professor. He will retire in two years, and he doesn't do any research now. He doesn't need the funding provided by Feng Yu. He doesn't smoke or drink alcohol. Apart from teaching and educating people, he has no other hobbies. , belonging to Feng Yu's only teacher who did not succeed in public relations.

Throughout the year, there seemed to be only two sets of Chinese tunic suits, but every time I saw him, his hair must be meticulous, the leather shoes were very shiny, and there were no creases on the trousers. However, it is said that Professor Li usually likes to write poems, and he belongs to the kind of old literary youth. It's a pity that Professor Li returned all the poetry collections that Feng Yu sent.

Feng Yu understood Professor Li's routine very well, immediately lowered his head, and obediently admitted his mistake: "Professor Li, I was wrong."

"Sit down, your parents sent you to Capital University to learn knowledge. When you are older, you can contribute to the country in the future. When you are young, it can also give you a good future and allow you to support your parents. You If you don't study hard, can you be worthy of your parents and the cultivation of the country?"

While teaching Feng Yu, Professor Li also educated other students. He turned his head and wrote something on the blackboard, and continued his lecture.

Taking advantage of Professor Li's inattention, Feng Yu took out a stack of letter papers from his bag and began to write her a letter.

He knows Zhou Kexin too well, he knows exactly what kind of jokes she likes. After casually writing a few future Internet jokes and a few words of blessing, Feng Yu folded the letter paper and stuffed it into the envelope he had prepared earlier.

...

In the past few nights, Zhou Kexin always thinks before going to bed, why hasn't he received a reply yet? Is the postman too slow, or is the second most handsome man in the world not replying to her letter?

Every day when going to school or after school, Zhou Kexin would always stare at the window to see if there was a letter from her when passing by the reception room at the school gate, but each time she returned disappointed.

Finally one day, she saw a letter with her name on the window, and it felt like her mother bought her long-awaited new clothes when she was a child.

Like an elf, she happily rushed into the reception room and retrieved the long-awaited letter.

When she was in class, she couldn't help but want to open the letter and take a look at it, even if it was just a glance. But in the end, I held back and went home from school. After dinner, I didn't even watch TV, so I went into the room and said that I was doing my homework.

He closed the door and took out the letter from his schoolbag. Because he tore it too anxiously, he even tore a little bit of the letter paper inside. Zhou Kexin burst into tears. Carefully unfolding the letter paper, under the desk lamp, he began to read the reply letter.

There were two jokes in it. She bit her finger to keep herself from laughing out loud, for fear that her parents would hear it. Parents must not know about the pen pal!

It's a pity that the letter was too short, only a few hundred words. She couldn't help but read it twice before carefully folding it up and stuffing it into a box under the bed. There was also this letter inside.

Taking advantage of this time, she quickly wrote a reply letter. It seemed that when writing this, it was much easier than usual. In just half an hour, she had written two pages.

After revising and transcribing it again, fold the letter paper neatly and put it in the envelope prepared earlier, and stuff it into the mailbox when I go to school tomorrow.

After tidying up, she looked at the alarm clock, and she panicked. She hadn't done her homework yet. She tiptoedly opened the latch on the door, then sat back at the desk and started to do her homework.

When Zhou's mother was about to go to bed, she opened the door and saw that her daughter was still studying. She was very relieved: "I'm still studying, go to bed early, and I have to go to school tomorrow."

"Well, Mom, you go to bed first, I'll be asleep in a while."

Seeing her mother go out, Zhou Kexin stuck out her tongue and continued to do her homework with her head down, but there was still a happy smile on her face... (To be continued.)
