NOVPUBChapter 624: Chapter 460 Qian Bingxue鈥檚 Astonishment Chapter 624 -460 Qian Bingxue鈥檚 Astonishment 鈥淟ove letter鈥?
How did you find out?鈥
Chu Mo鈥檚 eyes widened slightly, revealing a hint of surprise in their depths.
In middle school, he had indeed written a love letter to Qian Bingxue, but he was too na脙炉ve at the time and didn鈥檛 dare to confess his feelings, ultimately sending the literary-flavored love letter to a magazine publisher instead of to her.
Unexpectedly, the piece got published, and Chu Mo received his first ever payment for his writing.
Strictly speaking, it was because of that love letter that Chu Mo鈥檚 writing journey began.
Back then, he fantasized that if his desk mate, the girl he liked, would discover the article one day, she might realize it was his confession to her.
Due to his personality, Chu Mo never showed the published article to his desk mate.
...
He had always thought she knew nothing about it, but now, as Qian Bingxue suddenly brought it up, a wave of emotions stirred within him.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
鈥淧fft鈥
Is it really that surprising?
Back in school, you were our class鈥檚 famous talent.
You鈥檝e published so many articles, many of which I鈥檝e read, and you鈥檝e never changed your pen name.
潡堭潣凁潟橉潣?co
I just followed it and naturally found the confession letter.
But in it, you mentioned liking a girl with long braids and dimples on her cheeks.
Was that me?鈥
With a bright smile, Qian Bingxue鈥檚 eyes curved into crescents as she looked at Chu Mo, her entire body leaning slightly towards him, and the faint scent of mint lingered around his nose.
Qian Bingxue鈥檚 voice was pleasant, soft as if a songbird was singing, and now, as she leaned slightly towards Chu Mo, they were only a fist鈥檚 distance apart. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
It felt like back in school when they were desk mates芒鈧€漚 slight movement would cause their shoulders to touch.
Chu Mo鈥檚 cheeks were tinged with a slight blush, not from drinking.
He had barely sipped his drink all evening and was far from drunk.
Rather, what quickened his heartbeat was the present scene, recalling the sweet memories of their school days.
鈥淚f I鈥檓 not mistaken, once after PE class, you tried to buy me a drink, and I didn鈥檛 accept it鈥
Why did you think of buying me a drink?鈥
This question had troubled Chu Mo for many years.
He had regretted not accepting the drink for a long time, thinking this matter would remain buried in his heart.
Yet unexpectedly, today, in such a setting, he found himself asking this question.
The girl with the bright smile took a gentle breath.
She didn鈥檛 answer immediately, instead sitting up straight.
After a moment, she murmured to herself:
鈥淲hat young girl doesn鈥檛 yearn for love?鈥
Chu Mo paused for a moment, then he picked up the strong liquor in front of him and took a big gulp.
The spicy flavor overwhelmed his taste buds, but he just pursed his lips slightly and then shook his head with a wry smile:
鈥淚鈥
just how much did I miss!
If only I had been more proactive back then鈥?鈥
鈥淧fft!鈥
Seeing Chu Mo鈥檚 distressed look, the girl beside him revealed her smile again.
Qian Bingxue covered her mouth with a giggle and rolled her expressive eyes, speaking with a laugh:
鈥淲hat are you thinking?
Back then, even if two people liked each other, what good would have come from it?
We鈥檇 have probably gone our separate ways eventually.
In fact, I think it鈥檚 rather nice this way.
Because we never got together, the memories are all the more beautiful and poignant.鈥
At the dining table, a group of young men and women were chatting and laughing.
The prominent figures were Zhou Zilan and a senior surnamed Tan, one obviously ingratiating, the other speaking eloquently, leaving the others no choice but to flatter them.
Only Chu Mo and Qian Bingxue, the real old classmates, were there reminiscing about old times.
Time passed and as the meal approached its end, everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food and drinks.
Just then, Qian Bingxue once again leaned close to Chu Mo, her face full of curiosity:
鈥淪eriously, what have you been up to in Modu these past few years?
It鈥檚 hard to keep in touch with our old classmates.
Think about it: our class had dozens of people, and look at today鈥檚 gathering芒鈧€漮nly a dozen or so, and most of them are from the previous year.
Besides a very few who stayed in town, most have moved away.
Only someone with no prospects like me would struggle in such a third-tier city!鈥
While she spoke, Qian Bingxue suddenly turned around and took out a business card from her bag.
Then, very formally, she handed it to Chu Mo with both hands.
After Chu Mo accepted it, she continued:
鈥淵ou know, I opened a flower shop.
It鈥檚 not much, but it gets me by, just enough not to starve.
If you ever want to chase a girl and need flowers, just come by my shop.
I鈥檒l personally prepare a big bouquet for you.鈥
Qian Bingxue had a bit to drink, her cheeks flushed with a captivating red, her entire presence emitting an alluring charm.
With a smile, Chu Mo accepted the business card she handed him.
The words 鈥淭ong Che Florist鈥 were written in artistic calligraphy, carrying a certain charm.
He pocketed the card and, touching his pocket subconsciously, his face turned slightly red, and Chu Mo bitterly smiled and said:
