Chapter 47: Today I Find Your Complexion Good

  There were only a few people in the classroom, but Ren Yi surprisingly arrived quite early. As soon as he sat down, he leaned over mysteriously and whispered: "Brother Wen, I have something to ask you!"

  Wen Chen looked at him with a surprised expression, rarely seeing Ren Yi so humble. He rubbed his hands together hesitantly: "This... please, how should I address you today?" These past few days, he had been busy with Ji Zheng's affairs and hadn't paid attention to what books Ren Yi was reading. His title always changed along with the current martial arts character he was obsessed with, changing endlessly and giving Wen Chen a headache.

  Ren Yi was overcome with sorrow, and let out a long sigh: "With Nineteen Sister dead, how can Yin Jianping live on? With Tang Fang dead, how can Xiao Qiushui live on? From now on, I will retire from the jianghu world and devote myself to being a poet!"

  "A poet?" Wen Jian suppressed a smile, "It's good to be a poet, it's just that thinking about it too much is useless. It doesn't matter if you're melancholic or crazy. Brother, this feeling can only become a memory later on. At the time, I was already confused. Some things are better let go of! A girl like Ji Su, is she someone we can have fantasies about? The sooner one dies, the sooner they'll be reborn...the sooner one lets go, the sooner they'll see clearly..."

  Ren Yi was moved by these words, and with a grasp of Wen Qian's hand, he almost burst into tears: "A bosom friend! Who can pretend to be on the road? A kindred spirit is hard to find in this world! With Brother Wen as my bosom friend, even if I lose Ji Su, I will die without regret." It's clear that in order to match his reputation as a poet, this guy has been reciting a lot of poetry collections recently.

  Wen Cheng was fed up with his poor acting skills and threw in the towel: "STOP! If you have something to say, say it, don't play these empty tricks! Lao Ren, I'm not saying you're bad, but even flattering needs some skill. You can't always be so shameless, it's not a long-term plan."

  Ren Yi accompanied a smile and said, "I call this looking at people's dishes, who let you eat this set? Speaking seriously, I have something for you to do." He took out a folded pink square paper from his desk drawer and handed it to Wen Qian, his voice very low, "You're brave and your face is thick enough, help me secretly give this to Ji Su..."

  Wen Cheng curiously looked back and forth a few times, also lowering his voice: "Love letter?"

  Ren Yi lowered his head and started picking at his fingernails, muttering: "Uh-huh!"

  This voice was like a mosquito's hum, Wen Cen almost didn't hear it, and with a somewhat collapsing tone, he pointed to the front: "Ji Su hasn't come again, can't you just put it in her drawer?"

  "How can this kind of thing be done secretly? At least it should be given in person to show sincerity."

  "Aren't you the one who said Ji Su and Gu Wen Yuan were like that? And now you have the nerve to send a love letter?"

  Ren Yi took a deep breath and said, "I read Reader yesterday, there was a sentence that made a lot of sense. Life only happens once, some things must be done, even if the consequences are unbearable, but at least I can tell myself that my youth is without regret!"

  As soon as I heard "Reader", Wen Jian understood that this is not the literary holy book that is famous along with "Liaoning Youth", "Xiao", "Za Wen Bao" and "Youth Digest"? For Ren Yi, a high school cultural expert who has a bit of petty bourgeoisie sentimentality, a bit of literary hobby, and a bit of sentimentalism, it's no doubt that he was brainwashed by the pyramid scheme.

  He was a bit hesitant, if he had sent it a few days ago, it would have been fine, at most being despised by Ji Su. But now that his relationship with Ji Su was a bit delicate, helping to send the love letter might not be suitable. Moreover, everyone understood that this love letter was definitely a one-way ticket, and the possibility of success was infinitely close to zero. "This, Ren brother, you know I have a bit of a past with Ji Su. If I go to send it, I'm afraid there's only a 50% chance it'll become 10%, the risk is really too great. Unless..."

  Ren Yi didn't say a word, staring at Wen Chen with a resentful expression on his face, and said in an extremely calm tone: "If you don't go send it, I won't eat snacks for the whole day!"

  He smiled wryly and said: "This threat is really powerful! Let me think about it!"

  "Hmm, what should I send?"

  The two were shocked and turned their heads around, only to find that Ji Su had somehow entered the classroom through the back door and was now standing behind them, tiptoeing to peek at Wen Chen's hand. As soon as her eyes met Wen Chen's, Xian Yan smiled and said: "Want to give something? Maybe I can help?"

  Ren Yi had never spoken to Ji Su at such a close distance before, the previous boldness disappeared without a trace, and he grabbed the love letter back with one hand, muttering: "No, no, we were just joking."

  Ji Su returned to her usual self, acting calm and composed, making jokes that were just right and not awkward. Who would have thought that this smiling girl had just gone through such a terrible experience? She pointed at Ren Yi's love letter, which he hadn't yet hidden, and laughed: "The paper is folded into a 'square victory knot', it must be for a girl! Ren Yi, classmate, I didn't expect you to be so bad, despite your usual good boy appearance..."

  "Guai baobao? Him?" Wen Cheng was shocked and puzzled, seemingly trying to find some trace of Guai Baobao on Ren Yi's entranced face. "Ji Su classmate, I have to say, your judgment of people is really unreliable!"

  "Maybe, I didn't used to be very good at judging people, but that won't happen again, I'm sure of it!"

  The topic was a bit dangerous, and Wen Jie thought of shifting the trouble to someone else. Ignoring Ren Yi's resistance, he snatched the letter paper from his hand, pretending to want to study it: "What is Fang Sheng knot? Brother Ren, I really didn't expect you to be so cultured!"

  Ren Yi quickly calmed down after the initial confusion, and his usual slyness and shamelessness came into play: "Culture is a kind of connotation, not something that can be seen in people who have the same culture. Take Ji Su for example, it's obvious at first glance that this is Fang Sheng, Wang Shifu wrote in 'The West Chamber', 'Take the flower-patterned paper and fold it into a pair of interlocking diamond shapes, this is Fang Sheng!'"

  "Three men walking together must have my teacher among them. You are indeed a learned scholar, with great talent... But I wonder who the teacher's wife is?"

  This blow was too severe, Ren Yi was choked and coughed repeatedly. Under Ji Su's curious gaze, his old face turned red: "Don't talk nonsense, what about the master mother or not, I'm just messing around."

  Many classmates have arrived around, and many people have noticed this side, but they haven't thought much about it. Ji Su is the study committee member and English class representative, maybe she's collecting homework with Wen Qian and Ren Yi now. Wen Qian thinks the joke has gone far enough and doesn't want to be the focus of everyone's attention, so he says in a low voice: "Ji Su, if there's nothing else, you should go back to your seat, class is about to start."

  Ren Yi was furious and wanted to kick him to death. Such a good atmosphere, others begged for treatment that they couldn't get, but this kid was in a hurry to drive them away? Just as he was thinking of putting on a thick face to say a few more words, he suddenly froze in shock.

  Ji Su pulled out a transparent plastic bag from behind her back, with four green characters printed on it: "Qinghe Bean Sprout", and inside, one could vaguely see a cup of bean sprouts and two scallion pancakes. She put it on the warm desk and said nonchalantly, "I just happened to pass by Ba Yi Road, there's a famous bean sprout shop over there, I've tried it before, their stuff is pretty good, want to try some?" Struggling to hold back her shyness, she finished speaking and immediately returned to her own seat, bowing her head and taking out her textbook.

  The classmates next to them, who had been sneaking glances, all had the same expression as Ren Yi, their eyes wide and round, their mouths slightly open, their gazes dull and stupid, as if they had seen a ghost. It took a while for them to react, and then a flurry of whispers erupted, immediately filling the entire classroom.

  "Really? Have I gone blind?"

  "No, it's not blind, our eyes are blurred!"

  "Bring breakfast, who brings breakfast for Ji Su? I'm speechless!"

  "So... goddesses are human too, I knew that earlier, maybe if I had gone up, I would be the one enjoying this treatment today!"

  "Whatever, see you in the next life! Screw it, just watch me tell the teacher, you're having an early romance!"

  All sorts of gossip poured into Wen Qian's ears like infrared guidance, and she had known about Ji Su's devastating power since her previous life. When the news that she was with Gu Wenyan came out, how many boys were heartbroken? But unexpectedly, when it was her turn to bear all this, she was still frightened by the surging resentment.

  What's all this about? Isn't it more unjust than Qingwen in "Dream of the Red Chamber", who was wrongly accused and suffered a bad reputation?

  Ren Yi recovered from the shock, his first reaction was to grab a pencil sharpener desperately, but it was snatched away by Wen Qing. He let out a cold hum and picked up a ballpoint pen to draw a line on the table, saying viciously: "Brotherhood is no more, from today on we're sworn enemies!"

  Wen Cheng threw over a pencil sharpener and said: "Use this to cut, drawing three eight lines is not powerful enough!"

  Ren Yi, still not understanding what "give power" means, suddenly clutched his chest and wailed: "This day can't be gotten over, the goddess has descended to the mortal world, brothers have betrayed me, dreams have been shattered, life is finished, alas, how to relieve worries, only soy milk!"

  MB, this guy has really become a poet. Wen Jian picked up the plastic bag and stuffed it into his arms, saying in a bad tone: "Just stop messing around, if you want to drink just say so, I'm busy now, don't bother me!"

  Although Ren Yi loved to joke around, he wasn't someone who didn't know what was important. Holding the plastic bag and looking at it twice, he let out a light sigh and said: "This is something she gave you, it's yours, I have self-awareness. Those things before like Tang Fang were just jokes, don't take them to heart."

  Ren Yi's most lovable place is that he will never let his bad mood last more than three seconds, lightly bumped the warm shoulder, and smiled: "How did you deceive Ji Da Meiren, come and listen?"

  He smiled wryly and shook his head, he didn't expect that the usually clever Ji Su would suddenly become so impulsive? He naturally wouldn't be self-righteous, thinking that Ji Su would react to him in such a way so quickly, she was just expressing her gratitude in her own way. But sister, this is school, where even a little gossip can be magnified countless times, the gossip section of some online community in the future compared to high school now, it's nothing.

  Meng Ke asked the same question, and Ji Su completely ignored the shock that his actions had brought to the entire third class, quietly saying: "I don't have anything with him, I just wanted to express my gratitude, nothing more!"
