"Eh? Lao Si, don't you have a mobile phone? Why are you writing a letter? "Lao San asked curiously.
Feng Yu replied casually: "Oh, I have a pen pal."
Pen pals were a popular way of making friends in this era, especially among teenagers. Feng Yu did not make pen pals casually. This time, it was not for business.
This letter was sent to her in her previous life!
Zhou Kexin was from Jiang City. She had just entered high school this year. She liked to read books and wanted to be a reporter.
Today, when she walked into the school, she saw an envelope on the window of the janitor's office with her name on it.
There was no one with the same name in the school. She looked at her class carefully and confirmed that the letter was indeed for her.
"Grandpa Li, I'm here to collect the letter. My name is Zhou Kexin. I'm from Grade 1, Class 3. "
"Little girl, you have relatives in Peking University. Are you going to enter Peking University in the future? Then you have to study hard. It's not easy to get into Peking University. "Old Li smiled as he passed the letter to Zhou Kexin.
Zhou Kexin smiled politely, thanked him, and took the letter away.
She looked at the letter and understood why Grandpa Li said that. This letter was from Peking University! But she did not have any relatives in the capital. She did not even have any friends. Who would send her a letter?
Zhou Kexin did not dare to take out the letter until she got home from school. She was afraid that someone would see it. After she finished her homework, she went to bed. She secretly opened the letter and read it under the covers with a flashlight.
This was a letter to make friends. It was not a boyfriend or girlfriend, but a pen pal.
Pen pals were said to be a way for young people who returned to the city to express their longing to their friends from the countryside or friends who did not return to the city. At that time, many places did not have access to telephones. Furthermore, telephone bills were extremely expensive, so they could only send letters to express their feelings.
In the beginning, it was mostly men and women sending letters and sending postcards. Later, it became the same way for ordinary friends to exchange letters and talk about interesting things in life and study.
Most of the pen pals were girls. Maybe it was because girls like to talk to strangers and need someone to comfort them.
Zhou Kexin had always wanted to have a pen pal, but she didn't know who to write to. Some students wrote letters to others, but many of them did not receive a single reply after a semester. Not everyone liked to make pen pals.
This person studied at Peking University. How did he know her contact information? And there was even a postcard of Jackie Chan. How did he know that she liked Jackie Chan? Maybe the other party thought that Jackie Chan was a superstar and everyone in the country liked him.
The letter mentioned how beautiful Peking University was. But the female students at Peking University were not good-looking. That's why he came up with a conclusion. Talented girls are not pretty!
He also said that he had always wanted to visit Jiang City. He heard that Jiang City was very beautiful, but he never had the chance. But he was not a good swimmer. Feng Yu wonders if he will drown in Jiang City.
Feng Yu read the letter carefully three times. This letter was very interesting. Talented girls are not pretty? Does that mean talented girls are ugly? Also, Jiang City was only called Jiang City. It was not like it was floating on the river. How could he drown?
But the letter did not mention how he got her contact information and why he wrote to her. It only wrote about some trivial matters in his studies and was looking forward to Zhou Kexin's reply. At the end of the letter, it was signed "Second most handsome person on earth." There was even a cute self-portrait.
Second most handsome person on earth? Who would use this as a pen name? This was not humble at all. But it was interesting.
At that time, most people would use a pen name that was pure and elegant. For example, Bai Xue, Han Mei, Xin Yue, etc. (There was also a very popular pen name called Bai Jie. Cough … this name changed in the future.) This was the first time Feng Yu heard of someone using the pen name "Second most handsome person on earth!"
This "Second most handsome person on earth" wants to be a pen pal with me? This was a letter from Peking University. This "Second most handsome person on earth" must be a genius from Peking University!
But this genius was a little … … naughty? This name was not humble at all!
But no matter what, Zhou Kexin was overjoyed to receive a letter asking for a pen pal. She read the letter a few more times until she could almost memorize the contents of the letter. After that, she put the letter under her pillow and went to sleep with a smile on her face.
The next morning, Feng Yu woke up and saw the letter was still there. She heaved a sigh of relief. Yesterday was not a dream. She really had a pen pal!
Although the name "Second most handsome person on earth" was funny, his handwriting was beautiful, and the stories were interesting. Most importantly, this was a genius from Peking University!
During breakfast, Zhou's Mom asked Feng Yu why she was smiling. Feng Yu told Feng Yu that she was the only one who answered the question correctly in class yesterday. Zhou's Mom even praised Feng Yu.
On the way to school, Zhou Kexin laughed from time to time. Even when she was in class in the morning, she was still thinking about the contents of the letter.
This afternoon, Zhou Kexin was in the classroom when her classmates were having lunch. She wrote her reply to the letter in a big notebook.
After she finished writing, she read the letter a few times and revised it a few times. In the end, she copied the letter on a new piece of paper and folded it carefully. She placed it in a book and kept it in her school bag.
"Kexin, school is over. Why are you not leaving?"
"You can leave first today. I still have something to send to my teacher." Zhou Kexin replied nervously. Feng Yu does not want others to know about her pen pal. This was her secret, even if this pen pal was her classmate and good friend.
"Then I will wait for you?"
"No need. You can leave first. I will go back later. Anyway, it is getting late."
"Alright. Be careful on your way back. I will leave first. Bye. "
Zhou Kexin waited for 10 minutes before riding her bicycle. But this time, she did not ride home. Instead, she went to the post office.
The post office was closed, but there was a small shop selling envelopes and stamps.
Zhou Kexin copied the address on the envelope and wrote "Second most handsome person on earth" in the recipient's column. The shop owner looked at Zhou Kexin. Who is this girl writing this letter to? Second most handsome person on earth … There is someone with this name?
He thought about it and realized that it should be a pen name. However, to come up with such a pen name, this young man was definitely not very good at his studies. He was uncultured and didn't even know how to be humble. Wait, the address is Peking University? Errr ~ ~ This pen name is quite humble. At least he did not say that he is the most handsome person in the world!
Zhou Kexin carefully stuffed the letter into the envelope and used glue to stick the stamp on the envelope. After sealing the envelope, she gently blew the glue dry and used her hand to smooth the creases on the envelope. She placed the letter into the post box at the entrance of the post office. She hopes the postman will see this letter tomorrow and send it to Beijing as soon as possible to the hands of "Second most handsome person on earth."
…
"Eh, who do you think he is? He is so thick-skinned to call himself the Second most handsome person on earth?"
"Isn't that so? Could this be a prank? Is this letter addressed to the wrong person? "
"No way. This font looks like it's from a girl's handwriting. Do girls play pranks? Furthermore, we are at Peking University. The address is correct. "
"Then which girl will write herself as the 'third ugliest person on earth'?"
When Feng Yu reached the classroom, he heard Tian Lei and the rest arguing about whether this letter was a prank. Feng Yu wanted to laugh at first. But when he heard 'Second most handsome person on earth', he realized this was a pen name he came up with.
"Errr … … Class Monitor Tian, that letter … … is mine."
Swoosh ~ ~ ~
Everyone was looking at Feng Yu as if he was a monkey in the zoo.
"What's wrong? Can't I use this pen name?" Feng Yu shouted. These people can't understand my sense of humor at all!
"Pen name? Is this the reply from your pen pal? "Tian Lei asked while waving the letter.
If this letter was not from his class, he would not bring it back. He still remembered the way the teacher looked at him when he received the letter from the office. It was as if the letter was his.
The teacher was suspicious. Tian Lei was the class monitor, and he was the one who collected all the letters from his teacher. The teacher thought only Tian Lei would use this pen name and was not afraid of other students seeing it.
The teacher did not expect this letter to be from Feng Yu. Feng Yu also did not expect this pen name would not be accepted by everyone.
Feng Yu snatched the letter and kept it in his pocket. "What's wrong? You all have never had pen friends before?"
"We had, but we had never used such an arrogant pen name. Come, tell us. You are the 'Second most handsome person on earth'. Who is the most handsome person on earth? "Lao San asked.
Feng Yu puffed out his chest and looked at the sky at a 45 degree angle. He said: "My father!"
The other students: "… …"
"Huh … … Lao Si, is everyone in your family so confident?" Tian Lei asked.
Feng Yu rolled his eyes and walked to a corner to open the letter.
"The weather in Jiang District is very hot and stuffy … … My Chinese teacher has a croaky voice, and everyone wants to laugh when he speaks … … My Math teacher is bald. There was one time when he was scratching his head, and his wig fell off. That's when all the students found out … …"
Feng Yu's letter was filled with interesting stories about her school, and she even shared her frustrations. She wanted to enter a big city like Beijing or Shanghai, but her family did not agree and only allowed her to enter Jiang District. If she failed, she would have to wait to take over her mother's job. She wanted to ask Feng Yu what she should do.
The corners of Feng Yu's lips curled up. Her parents were only joking. She was admitted to a university in Shanghai, and her parents still agreed. Could it be that she was not allowed to go to university? This silly girl is still so naive.
The class started, and Feng Yu did not notice it and laughed out loud.
The old professor at the podium looked at Feng Yu unhappily: "That student, stand up. Do you think my lecture is funny? "
Feng Yu was still in a daze until Lao San, who was not far away, threw a pencil at him. He then realized that the professor was talking to him.
"Professor Li, what are you talking about?" Feng Yu was confused.
"Let me ask you. Do you think my lectures are funny?" Professor Li asked, enunciating each word. Feng Yu suspected that if he dared to say yes, he would be chopped into pieces!
"No."
"No? Then why are you laughing?! "Professor Li shouted.
This Feng Yu thinks he can do whatever he wants by providing some research funds to the school? This is Peking University, the most prestigious university in Hua Xia. Many people are trying their best to get in, but there is still someone who does not study!
Professor Li is a senior professor and will be retiring in two years. He is not doing any research now and does not need Feng Yu's funding. He does not smoke or drink. Other than teaching, he has no other hobbies. He is the only teacher that Feng Yu has not had any success in public relations.
There are only two sets of Chinese tunic suits in the four seasons of the year. But every time Feng Yu sees him, his hair is immaculate, his shoes are shiny, and there are no creases on his pants. It is said that Professor Li likes to write poems and is an old scholar. It is a pity that Professor Li returned all the poetry books that Feng Yu gave him.
Feng Yu knows Professor Li's routine. He immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake. "Professor Li, I was wrong."
"Sit down. Your parents sent you to Peking University to learn. You will be able to contribute to the country in the future. You will also have a good future and be able to support your parents. If you don't study hard, you will be letting down your parents and the country. "
Professor Li lectured Feng Yu and the rest of the students at the same time. He wrote something on the blackboard and continued with his lecture.
When Professor Li was not paying attention, Feng Yu took out a stack of letters from his bag and started to write her a reply.
Dong Xuebing knows Zhou Kexin very well and knows what kind of jokes she likes. Feng Yu wrote a few jokes about the future and some blessings. He folded the letters and stuffed them into an envelope.
… …
These few nights, Zhou Kexin will be wondering why she had not received Feng Yu's letter before she goes to bed. Is the postman too slow, or the 'Second most handsome person on earth' did not reply to her letter?
Every day, after school, Zhou Kexin will look at the window to see if there is a letter for her. But she will be disappointed every time.
Finally, one day, she saw a letter with her name on the window. It felt like her mother had bought her the new clothes she had been looking forward to for a long time when she was a child.
Like a little elf, she happily rushed into the reception room and retrieved the long-awaited letter.
During class, she couldn't help but want to open the letter and take a look, even if it was just a glance. But in the end, he endured it. After school and dinner, he didn't even watch TV. Instead, he went into his room and said that he was doing his homework.
She locked the door and took out the letter from her bag. Because she was in a hurry to tear the letter, she tore a piece of paper. Zhou Kexin's tears almost rolled down her cheeks. Zhou Kexin opened the letter carefully and read the letter under the lamp.
There are two jokes in the letter, and Zhou Kexin had to bite her fingers to stop herself from laughing. She is afraid her parents will hear her. She must not let her parents know about her pen pal!
But the letter is too short. There are only a few hundred words in it, and Zhou Kexin read it twice before folding it carefully and shoving it into a box under her bed. There is another letter in the box.
Zhou Kexin took this time to write her reply. Zhou Kexin felt that writing this letter is much easier than writing her essays. She only took half an hour to write two pages.
After revising and copying the letter, Zhou Kexin folded the letter neatly and kept it in an envelope. She will stuff the envelope into the mailbox when she goes to school tomorrow.
After packing up, Zhou Kexin looked at the alarm clock and panicked. She still has not done her homework. Zhou Kexin tiptoed to open the door latch and returned to her desk to do her homework.
When Zhou's Mom is about to sleep, she saw her daughter is still studying. "You are still studying? Go to bed early. You still need to go to school tomorrow."
"Ok. Mom, you go to bed first. I will sleep in a while."
After her mother left, Zhou Kexin stuck out her tongue and continued with her homework. But she was still smiling happily …
