Jiang Peiqin saw it wasnât working, so she thought of using her fighting skills to turn the tables, but unfortunately, it was destined to fail.
Jiang Peiqin looked incredulous, "Xinyan, youâre something else. I didnât expect you to be so full of surprises."
Xinyan laughed, "Thereâs a lot you donât know about."
Their relationship had clearly changed, and Jiang Peiqin was talking more than usual; her usual aloofness almost crumbled.
When they reached the dorm, loud laughter was coming from 306.
Xinyan asked, "What are you guys so happy about?"
Fan Xiaoxingâs face visibly turned red, and she glared at the people in the dorm, somewhat exasperatedly saying, "Donât say it."
Xinyan took a look at the scene, exchanged a glance with Jiang Peiqin, and thought: Whatâs going on here?
But standing by the window, the always gossip-loving Bai Aiwen clearly couldnât hold it in. After a bout of laughter, she said, "Fan Xiaoxingâs little brother got someone to send her a message."
Xinyan frowned: Getting a letter, is it really that funny?
Fan Xiaoxing saw she couldnât stop it: "Laugh if you want, laugh until you drop dead."
She knew she couldnât stop them, so she gave up and turned away, ignoring them.
After quite a while, Bai Aiwen finally stopped laughing: "The content of the letter, no, thatâs not right, the letter itself was quite well-written, but many words were replaced with drawings and things."
Xinyan, having lived another life, naturally understood right away, but she just didnât know how this was executed in the letter.
Bai Aiwen laughed and said, "A letter thatâs mostly drawn, especially with two dates in it too."
Xinyan and Jiang Peiqin didnât understand.
But Bai Aiwen and everyone else started laughing again, some even slapped the beds.
Fan Xiaoxing couldnât take it anymore and handed the letter to Xinyan, "Alright, donât wait for her to tell you, see for yourselves."
The two of them felt this wasnât right and hesitated.
In the end, Fan Xiaoxing muttered, "Itâs not something you canât see, and theyâve all seen it, so it doesnât matter if you two do too."
Xinyan and Jiang Peiqin exchanged a glance, then leaned in together to open the letter.
Just as Bai Aiwen said, the letter was mostly illustrated, with the few words written crookedly; it was indeed a very unique letter, especially with the two dates inside.
Xinyan even tried to pull them off, but wasnât successful.
Fan Xiaoxing noticed, "Donât try, itâs firmly attached. My brother used a special method to stick them on, youâd have to pull hard to get them off."
After reading the entire letter, both of them laughed.
Xinyan held back her laughter, "Your brother is quite creative. Although his handwriting isnât great, heâs got a talent for drawing."
Fan Xiaoxing initially thought Xinyan would burst out laughing like the other roommates but was surprised to receive compliments about her brother.
This made her feel much better, "Xinyan, do you really think so?"
Xinyan handed the letter back, "Yes."
She planned to say more but then thought of the line, "When you come back, Iâll go to the station to pick you up, âjujube jujubeâ there," and couldnât hold back her laughter.
She laughed and looked at Fan Xiaoxing, "Since he used drawings for other things, he might as well have just drawn two dates on."
Fan Xiaoxing looked at the letter in her hand, her eyes full of nostalgia, "We have a jujube tree in our yard, and every year we dry the dates because the family isnât well off. Usually, we trade them for everyday supplies and only keep a few.
Maybe my brother was worried his drawing wouldnât look right, and he wanted to use this chance to not only make sure I understood but also to sweeten my mouth a bit."
