1458 Go As Far As You Can Part Nine (2/2)

It was almost spring that year but the afternoons in the capital city were still blazing hot. One particular afternoon, everyone was taking their naps and Xuxu was the only one awake.

She had an English practice book on her desk and she had just completed her homework. She took a piece of paper and began to doodle on it.

She had a row with Yan Rusheng during lunch and she was still fuming over it. She had initially thought of drawing him before scribbling all over his face to vent her anger. Unconsciously, she drew herself inside the picture and even drew them holding hands.

She wrote 'Ah Sheng' on the paper—the words she had uttered every single day. This name would pop into her mind every time she closed her eyes.

”Xuxu.”

A teacher came to her and she got a shock. She shut the workbook along with the piece of paper in between the pages. She hurriedly stood up and said, ”Teacher.”

The teacher looked at her and said, ”Xuxu, help me collect all the workbooks in the afternoon.”

Xuxu nodded. ”Sure.”

…

Xuxu was lost in her thoughts as she stared at the aged paper.

So… this was the present Teacher Li wanted to give Ah Sheng.

That was just some random drawing and incredibly, Teacher Li had kept it for years.

Xuxu's face was red as she gazed at Yan Rusheng once more.

'I'm not kissing her, she's so fierce…'

She pushed the paper back inside Yan Rusheng's pocket and inched carefully towards his face. She could hear his breathing as clear as day.

She stared intensely at him. ”Ah Sheng, you must be so smug and gleeful to see the drawing today.”

He didn't respond and her heart furiously pounded when she saw his rosy lips.

”Ah Sheng…” Xuxu kept her eyes on Yan Rusheng while she tried to rouse him. He didn't move at all.
