4047 The Other Side 16

As he spoke, he put his arm around Youyou's shoulders and bragged, "My brother looks good when he smiles. Don't crowd around here. It's almost time for the morning reading!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of girls pushed past Little Yichen excitedly and started talking at once.

"Youyou, why don't you smile again!"

"You have a particularly charming smile."

"Smile again!"

Qing'er felt uncomfortable.

In fact, Youyou had guessed that she was the one who had given him the box of Godiva chocolates. She had saved up some pocket money and bought a gift box. She had been the first to arrive at the class and had secretly stuffed the box into the belly of his desk. Eventually, Youyou came and opened the box. She watched surreptitiously, but caught no glimpse of any change in his expression.

She thought he didn't like it.

As a result, the children surrounded him, clamored for the chocolates and soon emptied the box. She couldn't help sulking. This box of chocolates was her gift to Youyou, but he didn't like it. Even if it rotted in his hands, it would have been better than being eaten by all these other people!

Qing'er was rather upset. Youyou observed her expression, but said nothing.

During the morning reading, Qing'er was still sulking when she suddenly received a neatly folded note from Youyou.

She was rather surprised and pleasantly so. She took the note and saw a line of neat handwriting on it: Thanks for the chocolate.

Qing'er looked up in surprise and saw the boy looking sideways at her. She raised her eyebrows and blinked.

This meant he knew the box of chocolates was from her. For some reason, Qing'er felt aggrieved and wrote a reply to him: The chocolates were for you, but you didn't eat a single piece. I'm so angry.

This was followed by an angry emoticon drawn at the end.

The note came back a moment later, it said: I don't like chocolate, but isn't it nice to share something delicious?

A little face with a warm expression was also drawn at the end.

Qing'er finally mustered her courage and replied: May I talk to you?

Youyou read this and was surprised. Had she not spoken to him, even after having shared the same desk for so long? It was no wonder that Qing'er felt a little jealous when she saw him smiling at the other students. It appeared that Gong Fan usually didn't talk to her.

In fact, that was true.

Qing'er had once mustered the courage to talk to Gong Fan, but he had stopped her with his frosty glare. She almost cried because she was frightened.

Soon Youyou's reply came back to her: Sure. ^^

When Qinger saw this, she smiled knowingly and carefully placed the note in her pencil case, as if it was some sort of treasure! It was the note the boy had written to her, the first time they communicated through a note. Besides, she could finally talk to the boy she liked. In the future, they could very well become good friends, right?

Qing'er liked Youyou, not in the superficial sense, but she idolized him in a way, and had some admiration for him!

The boy had good grades and good looks. His teachers doted on him, and his classmates liked him. However, Gong Fan had a cold personality. Apart from Little Yichen, everyone else seemed to ignore him.

However, the other children felt that this personality was very cool, especially when during class, Gong Fan could casually answer the questions that stumped many other students. Their admiration for him was beyond words. Gong Fan's status in the class was obvious.
