When Sunny Xu picked up this letter, a thought involuntarily came to his mind:
Could this be a love letter?
The reason he thought so was partly because of Sun Xiaofang's anxious expression when she asked this question, and partly because there was a red sticker on the surface of the letter, in the shape of a heart, which was particularly eye-catching.
Sunny Xu tore off the sticker and pulled out the white paper inside the envelope.
After reading a few lines, he quickly understood that this was indeed a love letter, and in terms of its content, it was not something that could be easily shown or let others see.
No wonder Sun Xiaofang felt so nervous.
Looking at the signature at the bottom of the letter, the person who wrote the letter was of course that girl with braided hair, and as for the recipient of this letter...
"It's actually Teacher Yang."
Seigetsu Zhu, who was leaning her face against his shoulder, also stared at the love letter with concentration. After only reading a few lines, she couldn't help but exclaim.
"I didn't expect that the person Xiaofang likes would be him. I really didn't expect that she would like our class teacher."
"That's quite normal." Sunny Xu answered seriously, "The situation of student-teacher relationships on campus is usually like this. Children who long for care and love are easily attracted to mature men and women, and they find a sense of paternal or maternal feelings from them, even developing unrealistic fantasies. And the adults closest to them are often their teachers in school, especially their homeroom teachers who care for them out of duty and affection."
From the appearance, Teacher Yang looked to be in his thirties, tall and slim, with a bit of an intellectual feel. He had a mild temper and could get close to the students. Although he couldn't be called handsome and suave, he was quite charming for young girls who loved fantasies.
"Sunny Xu, do you happen to know a lot about this kind of thing?"
Seigetsu Zhu's smile remained on her face.
"...I read it in a magazine." Sunny Xu coughed, "But, I believe Sun Xiaofang is probably the type I described."
Seigetsu Zhu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Sun Xiaofang was tall and had a somewhat rough appearance. The boys in the class either treated her like a brother or kept their distance from her. She was the type that wouldn't be seen as a delicate girl.
But precisely because she was this kind of girl, she was more prone to having fantasies due to her naive emotions.
Although she might deliberately behave in a bold and cheerful manner in her daily life, making her actions match her appearance and temperament, in private, she might be the type of girl who would hide under her blanket every night, reading romance novels until her eyes were red and crying.
"But I don't think she had the chance to give this letter to Teacher Yang."
Sunny Xu shook the envelope in his hand.
"Yeah, I guess so." Seigetsu Zhu nodded slightly, then corrected herself, "Not that she 'didn't have the chance', but that she 'didn't dare'."
"I guess she put it in some discarded test papers and it was later thrown away by the cleaning staff." Sunny Xu speculated, "When she came to check this morning and found that it wasn't in the drawer, she panicked."
"Now we finally know what's written in the letter."
He sighed slightly and put the letter back into the envelope.
"Now, let's think about how to return it."
"Sunny Xu, I believe you're not the kind of person who would casually read someone else's privacy."
Seigetsu Zhu stared at his actions, pondered for a moment, and asked softly:
"I've been wondering, the reason you hid this letter instead of giving it directly to Sun Xiaofang, could it be because you suspect that she is the one secretly helping the strange person?"
"Of course not!"
Sunny Xu denied it with a surprised expression.
"I thought so too. She doesn't have the time..."
"She's your friend, why would you think that?"
Both of them spoke at the same time, their voices overlapping.
Sunny Xu and Seigetsu Zhu looked at each other for a while. After a moment of silence, he suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and pretended that he didn't ask that question, focusing on the letter in his hand and continued:
"I'm not familiar with her, and it wouldn't be good if she misunderstood that 'I've already read it'."
"After you tore it open, do you still want to return it to her?"
"I was quite careful when I tore it open just now. As long as I use double-sided tape or glue to stick it back, it shouldn't be noticed." Sunny Xu thought for a few seconds and added, "There's an even simpler way, I can just change the envelope and sticker, crumple it up and throw it back into the trash can, then it won't be discovered..."
"That won't work."

The girl quickly shook her head, her expression serious.
"It's fine if we two discover it, after all, neither you nor I are the kind of people who would blabber about it everywhere. But others might not be the same, right? There are people from various classes in the cram school now. If someone else finds this letter and spreads the news, with the love letter as evidence, Xiaofang will definitely..."
"Yeah, you're right, I didn't consider it well." Sunny Xu couldn't help but admire the girl's meticulous thinking, "The school teachers already talk about 'early love' as if it's a big deal. If the matter of 'student-teacher relationships' gets out, the result will definitely be bad."
"You should just give up and not return it to her."
Seigetsu Zhu smiled and raised a finger to her lips, making a "shh~" gesture.
"Now that you, me, and the heavens and earth know about this, let's treat it as a secret. Anyway, I guess Xiaofang originally wanted to destroy this letter."
"Okay."
Sunny Xu readily agreed and crumpled the love letter into a ball, putting it in his pocket.
After this matter was settled, the two of them began to chat casually.
"But I wonder what Teacher Yang would think if he found out that a student in his class has a crush on him?""You will definitely find it very troublesome. First of all, this kind of thing must be rejected, but how to speak in order to avoid hurting the fragile hearts of young people is a difficult task. Moreover, he also has to consider how to ensure that the other party will not tell this matter to others. If the love letter is exposed, it will definitely not be a good thing for Sun Xiaofang herself, but it will also have a negative impact on Teacher Yang... It should be said that the impact will be even worse, because once the matter becomes big, even his career as a teacher may be ruined."
"You're right."
Sunny Xu agreed.
"So, we definitely can't let others know about this. If the person who has a crush on her thinks about it for a long time, there is a possibility that they will act impulsively and give her the letter. It would be a bad thing if Sun Xiaofang has to worry about it alone for a while, but it might help her calm down."
"Anyway, let's keep this as our secret..."
"Hey, what are you two talking about?"
A face appeared from the classroom, it was Teacher Yang they were just talking about.
"The class has already started, aren't you coming?"
...
As soon as Teacher Yang saw the two people in the corner, he couldn't help but frown.
Of course, he could recognize them at a glance. One of the two was the class monitor of his class, the student that he and other grade teachers were most proud of, who had been regarded as a potential top scorer in the college entrance examination. The other one was a student who transferred to the school this semester. It was expected that he would not be able to keep up with the progress, but unexpectedly, he made rapid progress in several major exams and is currently ranked second in the whole grade. He is also an outstanding student in all aspects...
Well, except for the rumor about a not very motivated and ambiguous relationship with a female classmate. He was not sure about the truth of this matter, but he had heard the homeroom teacher mention it in the office.
However, looking at the current situation, the situation might be worse than what his female colleague with a bad temper thought.
He had been standing there shouting "class has started, class has started" several times, and everyone else had come back, according to the usual style of these two good students, they should have been sitting in the classroom waiting; even if they were discussing academic matters, they could do it in the classroom, there was no need to go to a corner where no one would notice them, there must be something wrong.
The more Teacher Yang thought about it, the more strange he felt, and a suspicious look appeared on his face as he carefully observed the two people in front of him.
This boy didn't show any signs of physical contact, but Seigetsu Zhu had a very happy expression, no matter how he thought about it, it didn't seem like they were discussing studying, so the suspicion couldn't be cleared.
Could it be that they made a mistake and this boy is actually dating a classmate, not Seigetsu Zhu?
No way? If this matter is true, Teacher Yang suddenly felt like praying for the grade leader with sparse hair.
He was the kind of open-minded person who wanted to believe that even if the two good students were really together, they would still ensure stable grades and even encourage and promote each other to a higher level... But past experience told him that it was more likely that both sides would collapse together.
...
"Teacher Yang seems a little angry."
Seigetsu Zhu whispered to him as they walked.
"Yeah."
Among the homeroom teachers in the second year, Teacher Yang was considered to have a good temper, but when Sunny Xu saw his serious expression just now, it was exactly the same as the gloomy face of their own homeroom teacher sitting on the stage during yesterday's self-study class...
He didn't dare to think further.
The classroom was already full of people.
Although the class hadn't started yet, the good students from Class 15 were all quiet. At this moment, the students saw Sunny Xu and Seigetsu Zhu walking side by side outside for quite a while before entering the classroom under the urging of the teacher.
The top fifty students in the grade mainly came from Class 1 and Class 5, so they were very familiar with these two latecomers.
If the teacher had assigned them to help each other, it would be understandable, but judging from Teacher Yang's reaction, he was completely unaware... In this situation, the looks and expressions that everyone would show didn't need to be described.
Especially Sunny Xu, he could feel the piercing gazes from the boys.
Although it wasn't the first time he had attracted attention, he still couldn't get used to being watched in this kind of situation; in contrast, Seigetsu Zhu calmly returned to her seat, looking completely unaffected.
Sunny Xu couldn't help but think of Starry Lin, she also walked into the classroom yesterday with such ease.
Both of the girls he was familiar with had an indifferent attitude towards other people's gazes, while he, as a guy, always felt a bit awkward, as if there was something strange.
After all, no one had done anything out of the ordinary!
So, Sunny Xu started to make an effort to appear indifferent. Unfortunately, the result was still not very effective.
*
The supplementary classes began.
Compared to regular classes, Teacher Yang's lectures were more in-depth, but also more relaxed.
After all, he was facing a group of excellent students with outstanding grades, so he didn't need to explain every single point in detail.
Although there were curious and jealous gazes from the classroom, everyone couldn't focus on him all the time. At first, Sunny Xu was a little concerned, but as he listened and took notes, he soon immersed himself in studying.
A person's mental state can be good or bad, and it's not guaranteed that they can study at their best every day or be completely focused during the learning process; they may get distracted, daydream, or have their attention diverted by other things, which is normal.
But if even the quality of the class cannot be guaranteed, it's just empty talk to want to achieve good results or surpass others.
However, in the midst of his busy schedule, Sunny Xu still secretly paid attention to Seigetsu Zhu.Although they were top students of the class, there were still some who whispered to each other, some who twirled their pens or flipped through books, and some who stared blankly out the window during class.
These small actions didn't necessarily mean they weren't paying attention. Sometimes, they were subconscious movements that even the person themselves didn't realize.
However, the girl sitting in the front row was different. She listened and wrote quietly, her straight back as elegant as the ridge line of a snow mountain.
......
The intense study time passed in a flash.
When he lifted his head from his notebook, he saw students stretching lazily and standing up from their seats, leaving the classroom in twos and threes. Only then did he suddenly realize that the morning had quietly slipped away.
"Where should I go for lunch?"
Just as this question popped into Sunny Xu's mind, he heard the girl's clear and pleasant voice:
"Shall we go for lunch together?"
This time, it was Seigetsu Zhu who took the initiative to approach him.
