After reading all the letters, she folds it back carefully and kept it in between her history textbooks . After that, she took out her geography books and start studying .

Zhou Kexin ran to the security post . In her hurry, she even forgets to lift up her umbrella . She did not mind the raindrops falling on her . Her uniform and hair were slightly wet from the rain . She would normally walk carefully during rain to avoid the puddles on the ground . But now, she couldn’t care less . Her shoes were wet when she ran towards the security post .
“Grandpa Li, give me my letter!” She ran into Old Mr . Li’s security post and shouted .
“Here is a towel I gotten last month and still have not used it before . Wipe yourself dry first . If your letter got wet, the words might be smudged . ” Old Mr . Li laughed and passed a new white towel to Zhou Kexin .
Zhou Kexin heard that she might make the letter wet, and she resist the urge to touch the letter . She took the towel and wipe away the water droplets on her, especially her hands .
“Here, have some hot water . You must be careful not to catch a cold . ”
“Thank you . Grandpa Li, I will not drink the water . I will go to the classroom now . ” Zhou Kexin grabbed the letter on the table and kept it in her school bag . She kept it in between her books and opened up her umbrella . She walked quickly towards her class .

But Zhou Kexin took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands first before taking out the letter from her books .
On the envelope, the address was written in familiar handwriting . The name written on the envelope was ‘Second most handsome person on earth’!
Zhou Kexin was smiling even before she read the letter . She opened up the envelope carefully and took out the letter .
There were only two pages . Zhou Kexin unfolds the letter and starts reading .
I had returned from Hong Kong University . You can use this address in the future . To be back at a familiar place feels so good…… .
After reading the two-page letter, Zhou Kexin felt it was not enough . She wanted more . She picked up the envelope and look inside . It was empty .
She read the letter two more times and took out a stake of letter papers from her bag to write a return letter .
‘Second most handsome person on earth,’ have you become the most handsome person on earth? The last time you said that Hong Kong is a bustling city . Do you feel disappointed to return back to Beijing? After you graduate, will you go to Hong Kong to look for work?
I was second in my class for my last semester exams . The difference between me and the first position was only 1 mark . I knew how to answer one of the questions, but I still got it wrong .
Do you think that I will be able to get into a university in Beijing? Our school is not some good high school . I heard that if I apply for some unpopular courses, I get a higher chance of getting accepted . Should I do so?

Zhou Kexin finishes writing her letter, and she checked her letter twice for spelling and punctuations mistakes . It was just like she was sitting for her exams . She blew lightly on the letter to make sure the ink was dry before she starts folding the letter carefully .
Zhou Kexin was not like Feng Yu . Feng Yu would just fold the letter twice and stuff it into the envelope . Zhou Kexin used origami methods she learned when she was young to fold her letter . She folded her letter into the shape of a little man . Although she was not good at origami, she still feels the letter looks more beautiful this way .
She placed the paper man into an envelope she prepared a long time ago . The address and stamp were already written on the envelope . She sealed the envelope with glue and double check if the envelope was sealed properly before keeping it in between her books .
“Bye, Grandpa Li . ”
“You are going back early today? Remember to drink more hot water to prevent catching a cold . Aside from studying, your health is also very important . ” Old Mr . Li waved to Zhou kexin . How come she only stayed in school for about an hour? She usually stays in school for at least 2 hours .
If Old Mr . Li knew that Zhou Kexin did not even look at her books and just spent all her time reading and writing a letter, he would surely be speechless .
It was raining, and Zhou Kexin did not want to drop the letter into the letterbox in case it got wet . She went to a post office and passed the letter to the staff there .
On her way back, Zhou Kexin was wondering how that ‘Second most handsome person on earth’ would react when he received her letter……
