Marriage Concerto (Small Thing Called Love) Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Qixi Mini Extra – Love Letter Incident (1)

When Ding Meng was a student, she had a secret crush on a boy from a neighboring cla.s.s. His name was Zhen Shuai. On the day of Qixi, she summoned her courage and wrote a love letter…. ah, after all she only had enough courage to write a love letter.

T/N: Qixi takes place on the 7th day of the 7th month of the lunar calendar and is sometimes called Chinese Valentine’s Day. Wiki link here 

On the the third time she returned back to her seat still carrying the pink envelope, Qiao Yichen finally couldn’t help but ask, “It’s already third period. You still haven’t give it away?”

Ding Meng was alarmed, “You, how did you know?! Σ( ° △ °|||)︴”

Qiao Yichen reluctantly opened his eyes. It was too obvious, okay?

“Is it Zhen Shuai from Cla.s.s 3?”

Ding Meng’s ears reddened. “Yeah….”

Qiao Yichen snorted disdainfully, “That kind of delicate skinned kid can only depend on his face to trick you silly little girls.”

Ding Meng lifted her eyes to look at him in astonishment. “Just yesterday Ting Ting used those words to describe you.”

Qiao Yichen, “…”

He sighed and his line of sight returned to the envelope in Ding Meng’s hand. “Why aren’t you giving it to him? Bring out the energy you usually scold me with.”

Ding Meng choked a little. “…… When I just went over there, he was talking with their cla.s.s’s Zhong Jie.”

Zhong Jie was the prettiest girl in Cla.s.s 3, and almost the prettiest girl in the grade. She on the other hand…was just a little fat girl. Aside her grades, she didn’t seem to have any other positive points.

Ding Meng put her face in her hands, full of regret. Qiao Yichen looked at her and scrunched up his eyebrows, but didn’t say any more.

When the afternoon came and cla.s.s was dismissed, Ding Meng’s love letter still hadn’t been delivered.

She stared at the love letter with a worried frown, deciding to destroy it as soon as possible.

She was just about to do so when the cla.s.s monitor came and called her to the office. Ding Meng shoved the love letter into the desk and followed the cla.s.s monitor out.

Qiao Yichen, who was organizing his schoolbag off to the side stared at her drawer for a second. Then he put down his schoolbag, grabbed the love letter, and also walked out.

At the entrance of Cla.s.s 3, Zhen Shuai was surrounded by a few girls, chatting and laughing. Qiao Yichen walked over and swiftly handed over the love letter. “This is for you.”

Zhen Shuai froze and then his expression went through countless changes. Right when Qiao Yichen was starting to become somewhat impatient from all the staring, the girls that were surrounding Zhen Shuai began yelling loudly, “Heavens! It turns out the one Qiao Yichen likes is Zhen Shuai!”

Qiao Yichen, “…”

Hold on, you guys seem to have misunderstood something!

However, it was already too late. Those girls went ahead and spread the news all over …… because the next day, the “Qiao Yichen publicly confessed to Zhen Shuai” rumor had already spread across the entire grade.

After hearing this rumor, Ding Meng felt restless for a long time. She was a silent for a while, recalling her own love letter which had disappeared without a trace. She looked at the person sitting next to her, whose complexion looked unsightly, and weakly asked, “Yesterday, did you take my love letter…..?”

After hearing these words, Qiao Yichen, who had pent up an entire day’s worth of frustration, felt a little more at ease. He nodded, thinking of telling her that she didn’t have to feel too grateful towards him. Instead, he saw her open her mouth to say, “Actually, it’s more sincere to use your own love letter when confessing. Taking someone else’s isn’t very good.”

….

Qiao Yichen died.
