The other instructors were standing outside, sighing. However, Instructor Peng headed straight into the office.
âInstructor Lu, itâs very common for young people to write love letters. You donât have to be so strict! Plus, Ye Qiao has given her best all this while. Furthermore, she is not the one who wrote the letter, right?â
Instructor Peng tried to help Ye Qiao.
Ye Qiao looked down at the floor, pitifully.
âInstructor Peng, I have my rules! You should not interfere with this matter! Ye Qiao, what are you waiting for? Write! Donât think of returning to your dorm until you finish the 3000-word reflection!â Instructor Lu said sternly and headed out of the office.
When he arrived at the door, he ordered Instructor Peng to leave as well, and Instructor Peng left immediately. Thus, Ye Qiao was left alone in the empty office.
âHow petty!â Ye Qiao scolded angrily. She knew that he would be angry!
Based on his logic, she should not have gone to meet Tao Chengqi, and she should have given the love letter to him directly, but she did not. How else could she prove Ye Zhenzhen wrong?!
She pulled the chair out, sat down, and placed her sling bag on the office table.
There were some papers and a pen on the table. In the end, she had no choice but to begin her âreflectionâ!
***
Half an hour had passed, but Lu Beixiao was not back yet. Ye Qiao massaged her tired wrist and continued writing. It was quiet outside as it was about time for the instructors to rest.
The door was pushed open, and instructor Lu came in with a warm cup of water. Ye Qiao pouted and rolled her eyes at him.
âYe Qiao, are you done with your reflection?â
âSir! I am almost done, but itâs not 3000 words!â Ye Qiao stood up and answered loudly.
âIf that is the case, stand at attention for 30 minutes!â Instructor Lu said coldly. He had just showered and smelled like fresh grass and wood.
!!!
How dare he punish her!?
She glared at him, and he looked back at her expressionlessly. He did not take back his words!
She stood up, kicked the chair, and walked to the wall. She had worn sandals with low heels, so she kicked her sandals off and stood up straight.
Meanwhile, Instructor Lu walked to the office table and looked at Ye Qiaoâs âreflectionâ!
âI must sternly reflect on myself. Why did I fall in love with Lu Beixiao? Why did I fall in love with such a cool, handsome, masculine, domineering, loyal, and perfect man who loves me so much?! When he is not around, I miss him so much that I could barely eat and sleep!â
!!!
It was clearly a love letter!
Lu Beixiao became a little agitated after reading the first sentence. Swiftly, he looked up at the girl standing next to the wall, and his breathing became irregular.
Then, his fingers pinched the paper tightly.
Ye Qiao glanced at him and saw his reaction.
She smiled triumphantly.
âI must sternly reflect on why I fell in love with someone who made me go insane. He made me androphobic. Ever since I met him, all the other guys became insignificant!â
Androphobic?
This girl!
She really knew how to flatter him!
However, he could not deny that he liked it.
His heart skipped a beat, reading her confession.
âI donât want to reflect anymore; Lu Beixiao satisfied all of my expectations for my significant other! With such a perfect man, why do I need to reflect? I should feel grateful. I am willing to ignore all the other men for him!â
!!!
After reading her âreflectionâ, Instructor Lu walked towards Ye Qiao and unintentionally saw something shiny in her bag.
It was a glass jar full of colorful origami stars.
Even though he had never dated anyone before, he knew exactly what it was. When he was still in school, Ye Cheng received so many of these! The girls even knitted gloves and scarves for him during the winter. However, he never bothered about them.
âYe Qiao, did that guy give you this?â Instructor Lu examined the jar and asked her gloomily.
Ye Qiao was still standing at attention. She looked at him and then pouted and rolled her eyes. â390 stars! Each representing a day of longing! Please think about it yourself, Instructor Lu!â
â390 days...â Instructor Lu thought to himself...
They were separated for 390 days!
!!!
So, this jar of lucky stars was from her to him!
Apparently, Instructor Luâs heart went on a rollercoaster ride.
â
In the office, the lights were still on. Instructor Lu walked towards Ye Qiao â who was standing at attention â and looked at her expressionlessly.
âYe Qiao, donât think that a few sweet words and a jar of lucky stars is enough to make me forgive you!â Instructor Lu squinted his eyes and said.
She confessed to him, praised him so much, and even gave the lucky stars to him, but he still did not give in!
âInstructor Lu, I already wrote the reflection!â She looked at him with her watery eyes.
Then, she stopped standing at attention and looked at him rebelliously.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYe Qiao! Stand at attention! Itâs not 30 minutes yet! Now, answer my questions!â Instructor Lu said sternly and looked at his watch.
What other questions did he have?
âWho was the guy in the pub? Hm?â Instructor Lu asked sternly and hit her head lightly with the paper.
He really could not tolerate anything! It must be Ye Zhenzhen who told him!
