Chapter 1.2: The Envelope
Well, it seemed he had no luck with girls from birth, and school romance had nothing to do with him.
So, what was this letter about?
Could it be…a secret admirer?
Or was it a prank meant to make fun of him?
Recently, classmates had started using smartphones with video recording functions, so it could be some restless person trying to mess with him.
But who would be so bored as to mess with someone as inconspicuous as him?
If someone wanted to prank, it should be the class’s popular guy, Ye Guang.
Shi Hai was puzzled.
Anyway, he should look at the content first.
While Shi Hai was lost in thought, other classmates started entering the classroom.
Led by Ye Guang, the lively group gathered in the front half of the classroom, loudly sharing their summer experiences.
“Xiao Gao, where did you go in the last few days of summer vacation? You came back early, but we didn’t see you.”
“Oh, just stayed in the dorm…what about you guys? I heard you went to the amusement park with some girls from the finance department before school started. Why didn’t you take me?”
“We tried to contact you, but your roommate said you were sleeping and couldn’t wake up.”
“When was that? I don’t remember? My roommate never told me.”
“Case closed! Your roommate tricked you!”
“Just wait until I get back and deal with that jerk!”
They joked around for a while and then started talking about the upcoming specialization choices.
In the Computer Science department, starting from sophomore year, students had to choose a specialization, such as Computer Applications, Software Engineering, Network Engineering, or Multimedia Technology.
This semester, they would fill out their specialization preferences, and from the next semester, they would be divided accordingly.
Shi Hai hadn’t decided which direction to choose yet.
“…Morning.”
At this moment, a deep male voice brought Shi Hai back to reality.
Shi Hai looked up at a cool guy, about 1.83 meters tall, and raised his hand in greeting.
“Oh, morning.”
If asked to name the prettiest girl in the university, Shi Hai might not have an answer, but the most handsome boy would undoubtedly be Chu Chen, even the class’s popular guy Ye Guang had to step back.
With a cold face, upright posture, unruly black hair, melancholy aura, indifferent eyes, and a glance that could make girls’ hearts flutter.
This was the cool guy Chu Chen, who often sat next to Shi Hai by the window in the last row.
Without any exaggeration, Shi Hai felt Chu Chen would be perfect as the male lead in a campus idol drama.
But his aloof demeanor kept all admiring girls at a distance.
Shi Hai didn’t think Chu Chen was that ‘cold’. See, he even greeted good morning, right? But that was probably because they were both guys, their seats were close, and they were friends, so there was no barrier. If it were a girl, it might be different.
So, if someone sent a love letter to Chu Chen, Shi Hai would find it perfectly reasonable, totally fitting.
…Could it be that the letter was placed on the wrong desk?
Actually, that seemed quite possible.
Should he hand over the love letter?
Thinking this, Shi Hai’s expression towards Chu Chen became strange.
Noticing Shi Hai’s expression change, Chu Chen asked after sitting down.
“What’s up?”
“Uh…nothing.”
Chu Chen thought for a moment and didn’t press further, just said.
“…Alright, let me know if there’s anything.”
“No problem.”
Shi Hai thought he hadn’t had a chance to examine the love letter closely, didn’t see if it had a recipient’s name on it, and it might be written inside.
To be safe, he decided to check the content first, and then hand it over if it was indeed misplaced.
As class was about to start, Shi Hai put away his thoughts and focused on the lesson.
