Chapter 496: Chapter 496: A Love Letter
Sheng Tang was completely uninterested in Gu Jiahui and Yang Mingming’s matters, focusing diligently on her studies and fitness every day.
She already weighed 102 pounds, paired with her height of 168 cm, she could no longer be considered fat.
She had slimmed down through fitness, her skin tight and firm, not saggy, looking even slimmer.
From last October to this April, nearly seven months, Sheng Tang had lost 48 pounds, an especially fast pace, though she felt it wasn’t very healthy.
She still hoped to lose weight more slowly.
But young girls have fast metabolisms, making weight loss particularly easy.
Even after the New Year, the effects of her weight loss were evident, and classmates still marveled, "You’ve lost so much weight!"
Hearing such words was music to her ears, and Sheng Tang felt quite happy.
However, slimming down brought some troubles.
One day, Yan Jinzhi suddenly told Sheng Tang, "The boys in our class secretly voted and chose you as the class flower."
Sheng Tang: "..."
Gossip is human nature. Sheng Tang hadn’t said anything yet, and Jiang Baocu became interested.
"Really?" she said excitedly. "Who was the class flower before?"
Previously, their class didn’t have a class flower.
The girls in Class 1 of Senior Year 2 weren’t particularly outstanding in beauty. As a result, the boys’ opinions varied when discussing them.
Now, Sheng Tang had caught everyone’s eye.
"There wasn’t one before, but now it’s Sheng Tang," Yan Jinzhi said with a smile. "I also heard someone has a crush on you."
Jiang Baocu immediately said, "Last year, when Sheng Tang hadn’t slimmed down yet, someone already had a crush on her and secretly gave her lots of delicious food and fun things. That guy truly had good taste."
They whispered, so no one else could hear.
Sheng Tang pressed her hands on each of their heads, "Enough, isn’t all this gossip never-ending?"
She still hadn’t sorted out the mess with Gu Shiting, and she dreaded hearing this kind of stuff.
However, Yan Jinzhi might have been a crow turned spirit.
The next day, Sheng Tang woke up early and went to the classroom. While groggily taking out her textbooks to read, she found a letter in her desk.
Opening it, the handwriting was quite nice.
She read a few lines and realized it was a straightforward love letter.
She felt as if she’d been struck by lightning.
To think she had also enamored another high school boy besides Gu Shiting, what a sin.
The letter was signed: "Liang Wei."
Sheng Tang asked Jiang Baocu, "Who is Liang Wei?"
Jiang Baocu was curious, "Why do you want to know about him?"
"No big deal, he wrote me a love letter," Sheng Tang said.
Jiang Baocu: "..."
First, she was shocked: some gutsy boy actually dared to flirt with Young Master Gu’s girl, truly bold.
Then she got a bit excited.
High school girls rarely stay calm when hearing the word "love letter," unless they’re like Sheng Tang.
Jiang Baocu was no exception; she got excited even over a love letter not meant for her.
"Let me see," Jiang Baocu said.
Although Sheng Tang didn’t know Liang Wei and had no impression of him, she didn’t want to pass around his love letter.
She felt that exposing one’s true feelings was a very private matter, and regardless of whether the feelings were reciprocated, it wasn’t right to flaunt them.
"No, I can’t," Sheng Tang said, "Love letters shouldn’t be shown to a third person lightly."
Jiang Baocu felt a bit deflated.
She glanced back.
In the third group, second last row, sat Liang Wei.
"Look, it’s him," she whispered to Sheng Tang, "Don’t turn around, he’s watching you."
Sheng Tang acknowledged with an "oh."
"But, I don’t like him, he’s Chen Shen’s good buddy," Jiang Baocu said.
