At noon, I heard from Wu Shuang that Jiang Li also treated other people extremely cold, especially girls who were interested in him. He would generally maintain a distance of one kilometer and never gave them any opportunity to fantasize about him.
I tactfully asked Wu Shuang whether he preferred men instead, but she denied. "In fact, the relationship between Jiang Li and Teacher Ye is good. Every time they meet, they will smile. Oh, Jiang Li is also on good terms with the school flower in Class 3. Oh, and also, with the school flower runner-up in Class 1."
I became silent. My heart cursed my mother, it seems that Jiang Li had very selective preferences. In the short term, whether I could complete my task was also a problem. To give him my love letter, skill was needed or else according to this young boy's indifferent personality, he absolutely would not allow me to reprieve myself in front of everyone. The irony was that I was a toad who wanted to eat a swan's meat* (Hoping for something that is beyond reach).
I felt depressed. Why do children nowadays, place such harsh requirements on external beauty? When I go home I have to tell Fei Ge that for so many years, our way of grooming our inner beauty had been completely wrong. We had gone down the curved path as the inventor had not invented the see-through glasses and the men were blind for they could not see our inner beauty but only could see the cup size.
I was being pressured and the year was favorable only to young people. I had to face an 18-year-old young boy which suddenly gave me a sense of powerlessness.
I had put all my effort into the flowing three-thousand-worded love letter.
But to place this love letter into his hands, I need to plan skillfully. It had to be in a place less frequented and if anyone found out that I had failed, where would I put this face of mine?
I cannot place my face on my butt, can I?
Today, I was tormented. I had tried to find the opportunity to get close to Jiang Li twice. When I asked him a question, he did not ignore me. Reluctantly, with a cold face, he explained a bit to me, then finishing, he turned and continued on his papers and no longer paid any attention to me. During lessons, I did not pay attention to the lecture instead pretended to be smitten with him and stared at him. I put on a silly smile of infatuation and Jiang Li could not stand my harassment, obliquely send me a cold warning look, turned and continued to listen to the lecture.
I guessed he wanted to beat me up until I faint but I still had to continue carrying out my plan and had become a shameless dog-skin plaster*. (Used in traditional Chinese medicine for treating contusions, rheumatism, etc)
With my fake chest, I clung and stalked him, asking questions until he could not stand the harassment, began to talk to me using a few words, such as. 'Why are you so stupid', 'This question you don't even know, where are your brains?', 'Still don't understand?'. Although his face still had that cold expression I saw signs of melting ice and snow.
Two days later, on a Thursday, I found a great opportunity to pass him the love letter, starting a round of a great fired-up love chase.
Thursday was Jiang Li's turn to be on class duty and was responsible for the final garbage dumping duty. I planned to wait until almost everyone had gone when I would boldly corner him, brazenly follow him home, at the same time have a meal with him and then......he, he,....
In the afternoon, when everyone had almost gone, I was wearing the uniform that the school distributed yesterday, a short western-style set, with red pleated skirt revealing my two long legs, squatted near the school trash bin. The evening breeze was blowing, a faint foul smell of rubbish floated into my nose, my brows did not even wrinkle and I felt excited. I think two years ago, even with Fu Chen, I was not this passionate.
Mainly because this kid had regarded me as insignificant that had stimulated my fighting spirit. I did not believe that I, Fang Liang Liang could not handle a young boy. When this aging mother was traversing the rivers and lakes* (To indicate one who travels all over the country), you were still a young boy with a runny nose, chasing the teacher all over the elementary school.
Waiting until half past five, when sunset had deepen and golden rays of sunlight engulfed the whole sky....... I, the wolf clad in sheepskin finally got to meet my little black sheep.....Jiang Li.
"Jiang Li! ! ! ! You are dumping garbage?" I waved to him warmly, deliberately acting coy, glanced at him and in front of him, purposely hid the love letter in my hand, behind my back, pretending to look helpless.
At this moment, I really felt I was a girl.....really, really, a girl.
Jiang Li glanced at the pink envelope in my hands, ignored me, silently walked over and threw away the garbage. Then again treated me as if I was invisible, superciliously turned and walked away.
In fact, I had expected this to happen but when I saw it with my own eyes that it was to become a reality, I still could not resist grinding my teeth.
Violence, violence, I really miss violence.
But it seems that hard tactic did not work, then I decided to be a fly that flew out of the garbage dump, buzzed around him, and clung to him. I did not believe he could continue to treat me as invisible. I chased after Jiang Li, with my fake chest bouncing, unyieldingly and warmly asked. "Jiang Li, are you going home? Where do you live? My house is in Lubei District, where is yours?"
Jiang Li turned around and gave me a sidelong glance, reluctantly spat out the words. "Xicheng District."
"Wow, Xicheng District is at the edge of Lubei District and I'm going there to buy some cakes to take home, then I can walk with you." I followed him walking behind while smiling mischievously, the skin on my face was as thick as my bra pad.
Jiang Li walked with big steps, impatiently said. "I'm not used to walking with others."
I continued to act the role of Xiao Qiang* (The pseudonym for a resilient cockroach), chasing after him. "Not used to it.....is okay. Slowly you'll get used to it. There is always a first time."
"Hey, what do you actually want?" Jiang Li walking in front abruptly stopped, causing me who could not stop in time, crash my two large fake breasts into his thin back.
"Ah.........."
Even if my face was as thick as the padding supporting my fake chest, crashing into the boy's young and flexible body, I felt really shy for a moment.
Beside us, in a lonely, cold flower bed, a sparrow hunting for food, fluttered its wings and flew away. I and Jiang stood in silence, both of us a little embarrassed. Jiang Li's handsome face flashed a trace of discomfort, hastily said. "Sorry." Then his face became ashen, he turned around and walked away with big steps.
"Hey, hey, hey......." I hastily called after him. "Jiang Li, slow down. I'll walk with you, I....... I have something to give you."
Jiang Li did not turn his head and with his back facing me, coldly said. "Go home. I don't want it."
"No, no......you must. I had waited for you until now to give you this."
He ignored me, his walking pace was significantly faster. For every step he took, it was three steps for me and in a short while, he had put us at a great distance.
"Jiang Li.......Jiang Li......I have something to tell you." I risked this old life to chase after Jiang Li, with him walking in front and me following behind, both of us exited the school gate. Suddenly in front of the traffic light, he made a mad dash across the street and left me alone staring at the flashing red light, panting.
"Brat, this aging mother is not going to eat you!" I swore under my breath and I looked across the street at that brat's handsome back. In my heart, I was upset with myself for having rusty old bones, really I had not run for many years and could not outrun young people.
In my heart, I sighed as I had used up all my creative ideas to deal with him.
At this moment, across the busy street, Jiang Li strode with big steps towards an elegantly dressed woman, his cold face breaking into a dazzling smile.
I took a clear look and cursed. It was the gentle Teacher Ye with her big chest! ! ! !
At this point, Teacher Ye was shyly smiling, talking to a tall man wearing a black suit, with his back facing me. The two people stopped talking when they saw Jiang Li approaching and Teacher Ye waved her hand to greet Jiang Li.
His Mother......half way through my plan, the appearance of the big wet nurse ruined my big chase.
I anxiously stomped my feet, blinked my eyes, throwing caution to the wind, dashed across the street, ignoring the traffic lights.
I felt something was not right, this Jiang Li was too gentle and tender towards Teacher Ye. Fei Ge said that nowadays, do not think that young boys only like to play cool, but in fact, they like matured, charming sophisticated women. Jiang Li and Teacher Ye could have already caught each other's eye* (Have feelings for each other).
After all, during remedial class, when a man and a woman are together, ***, wearing less during springtime and Teacher Ye's cup size is so big.........
I was feeling anxious. In order to give my imaginary rival a warning to tactfully remind her not to neglect her teacher's duty, I had to do this, whatever the consequences. I rushed towards Teacher Ye and Jiang Li who were talking cheerfully, shouting loudly. "Jiang Li, I like you. I love you at first sight, accept my love letter!"
My confession sounded through the sky* (very loud), and I was also moved by my own 'deep affections'.
A few steps away, Jiang Li's smile froze and turned cold, Teacher Ye was shocked. I felt complacent about my decision for making the first move to gain the upper hand. The tall man standing opposite Teacher Ye, with his back was facing me, was still in the same position.
Something was wrong.....familiar hairstyle, familiar figure, familiar back view, familiar elite temperament......where have I seen this before?
