Chapter 65: Let Me Tell You a Secret
Actions speak louder than words, and Fu Chengque couldn’t hold back anymore.
With a quick thought, she said, “Wen Yu, I have a secret, and I want to tell you.”
After saying that, she carefully sensed any changes in the system.
She couldn’t determine if this counted as “enticement,” but if it did, the system should prompt immediately.
Fortunately, there was no such prompt.
“If it’s the secret of you becoming the Empress, I already know,” Wen Yu said.
“Of course not!” Fu Chengque was annoyed. Why wasn’t Wen Yu cooperating? “Come here, I’ll tell you.”
Wen Yu hesitated for a moment before leaning in.
Fu Chengque also leaned closer, speaking slowly and mysteriously, “The secret is… it all started from my elementary school days, that day…”
She went on and on.
After listening for a while, Wen Yu couldn’t hold back anymore and looked at her suspiciously. “Why don’t you start from the creation of the universe?”
“Oh, don’t look at me like that, I haven’t finished yet.”
“I think you’re just teasing me.”
“Oh, I really am not, there’s a real secret…”
Fu Chengque felt a bit tingly.
It had only been two or three minutes.
At that moment, the medical staff came out and called, “Banben is awake and recovering well, you can take him home.”
Wen Yu got up and went inside, leaving Fu Chengque with no choice but to follow.
Banben was still a bit timid, but his condition was good.
Placed in the cat carrier, they headed home.
Along the way, Fu Chengque wanted to continue her “secret,” but Wen Yu was no longer cooperative.
The current mood of the target was not good, so this plan had to be postponed for now, to be discussed later—
Fu Chengque could only think bitterly like this.
After lunch, the sun suddenly disappeared, and the temperature dropped sharply.
It was impossible to make sausages.
Xiao Gua sent a message to Fu Chengque, saying she was meeting Fan Liming. Fu Chengque was worried, but there was nothing she could do but wait for news.
During this time, she also pondered her own task. She wrote down the task on paper and then carefully analyzed it.
“Whispering, it’s confirmed to be that kind of ‘whispering’.”
“The key is, how can we maintain the demanding requirement of ‘whispering for ten minutes’…”
“Accumulation is also possible, but to accumulate ten minutes within one hour, that’s too difficult!”
Fu Chengque slumped onto the chair, feeling a bit uncomfortable, then rolled onto the bed and sank into the blankets.
Even if the length of a sentence is extended to elongate the time, it’s still only about ten seconds per sentence. It would take six or seven whispered sentences to fill one minute, which means she would have to speak sixty sentences into Wen Yu’s ear within one hour to complete this task…
“How is that possible!”
“Ah… my goodness, it’s so difficult.”
“The tasks nowadays are getting harder and harder…”
Fu Chengque pounded her pillow, feeling a bit upset.
After venting for a while, she calmed down again.
No need to rush, there are five hundred hours in total, it’s only been a few hours, why rush?
Take it slow, there will surely be a solution when inspiration strikes.
In the evening, Xiao Gua sent Fu Chengque another message:
【Xiao Gua】: Chengque, I’m back home! Sorry for making you worry hehe…
【Fu Chengque】: Did Fan Liming bully you! [Cat emoji showing anger]
【Fu Chengque】: Tell me, if he did, tomorrow I’ll send my number one henchman Wen Yu to teach him a lesson!
【Xiao Gua】: No no no, don’t get excited, I’m fine
【Xiao Gua】: I just chatted with him a bit, nothing else, don’t worry
【Fu Chengque】: He knows his place! [Cat emoji showing pride]
【Xiao Gua】: He wanted to reconcile with me, then talked secretly…
【Xiao Gua】: But I’ve made it clear to him, from now on, I’ll focus on studying with you guys
【Xiao Gua】: I’ve realized recently, some things can be thought over and done later
【Fu Chengque】:…
【Fu Chengque】: Yeah! Don’t be sad, you still have me, I’ll be there for you
【Xiao Gua】: I know~ Chengque, you’re so kind, love you!!
After a brief silence, the phone rang again.
【Xiao Gua】: Chengque, actually, I envy you
【Fu Chengque】: Envy what? If I become the ruler of the world in the future, Xiao Gua, you can be a princess too!
【Fu Chengque】: I promise! [Cat emoji showing pride]
【Xiao Gua】: Hahaha, okay, although that’s not what I meant
【Xiao Gua】: What I meant was, I really envy your life, your parents don’t care about many things, and the teachers support you by default
【Xiao Gua】: You must cherish it well
【Fu Chengque】: Why are you suddenly saying these… strange…
【Xiao Gua】: Hahaha, good friends, can say anything.
【Fu Chengque】: Alright! As long as you can speak happily, anything is fine!
【Xiao Gua】: [Cute cat]
The wind rises outside the window.
Through the opposite window, you can see Wen Yu sitting at the desk writing something.
Fu Chengque thought to herself, the departure of a relationship is often just the result of a sentence or an action, perhaps like Xiao Gua, the future may bring a chance to reconnect, to continue the bond. More likely, their paths will diverge and they will never meet again.
A chill sets in.
The weather turns cold again.
Snow begins to fall outside.
This time she didn’t call out, just watched quietly.
***
On Monday, when they went out, the snow had accumulated.
It unexpectedly snowed all night in Jiangcheng. Although it wasn’t heavy, the next day everything looked white, near and far.
And the snow hadn’t stopped, it continued to fall.
Walking on the road, Wen Yu seemed a bit happier and spoke more actively.
“The snow is not small, this is the first snow of the year, a bit early, there should be more to come.”
“It’s neither big nor small, can’t play, not very beautiful.” Fu Chengque added, then continued, “The New Year is coming.”
“Yeah, the new year is coming.”
“Xiao Gua met Fan Liming yesterday, and they said they would just be ordinary classmates from now on…”
“Expected.”
“Wen Yu, do you think they like each other?”
“They probably do, but that’s something only they can answer.”
“Liking each other but unable to be together?”
“Because they’re high schoolers.”
“Can’t parents and teachers support high schoolers who like each other? Mutual affection isn’t love?”
Wen Yu suddenly stopped walking, looked at Fu Chengque seriously, and said, “Love is a term for adults, children can only use it, not define it.”
Fu Chengque was a bit frustrated, “Why!”
“Because it’s not your turn… when we’re talking.”
“I don’t understand!”
Fu Chengque was a bit annoyed and walked away.
Today’s snowflakes were slightly larger than the ones from the night before. She reached out and caught one, surprised to find that the snowflake didn’t melt.
Her thoughts drifted once again.
“Wen Yu, will Xiao Gua, you, Fang Ling, and Lu Min also drift apart after the university entrance examination?”
“Who can say for sure, things are always changing. High school senior year is one of the biggest variables in everyone’s life.”
“Will Xiao Gua and Fan Liming continue after high school?”
“If they can hold on until the end, there’s still a chance.”
There are many examples of successful long-distance relationships.
But Fu Chengque still looked somewhat downcast. “Wen Yu, what if Xiao Gua and that boy gradually drift apart after the university entrance examination due to different life paths?”
There are even more examples like this, aren’t there?
The sky darkened, and the snow fell heavily.
Wen Yu took out an umbrella, preparing to open it.
After hearing the girl’s question, he paused in his motion to open the umbrella, reached out to catch a snowflake, and then placed it on the girl’s hair.
Fu Chengque was puzzled. “What are you doing?”
“Telling you the answer.”
“What answer?”
“Two places yearn for each other as they endure the snow, in this life, we’ve shared white hair.”
