Back Then, I Adored You Chapter 137 A Mysterious Letter 7

She had written him about four years ago, but he hadn’t replied to her for a long time.

She had thought that was the end of communication between them.

At most, they were just pen-pals. It was just teenage dreams and the impulsive desire to make true friends or soulmates. The truth was that no one was absolutely necessary in anyone’s life.

Even though she was a little disappointed, she had been able to do a reality check and realize the truth, that she had never met him in real life. She had continued to check if there was any mail for her in the security office at the high school for the next two months, but there was nothing for her. She had stopped going there to check. About half a year ago, Xu Wennuan had come back to Beijing and craved the hot pot near their high school. They had gone back near their high school to have some hot pot. When she had passed by the security office at the entrance of the school, she had suddenly remembered the many letters they had written to each other. She had decided on a whim to swing by the school’s security office.

She didn’t have high expectations of receiving any mail from him. Unexpectedly, she had received mail from him.

The mail had arrived at the security office about two months earlier. They were just pen-pals, so they only had each other’s address and pen-pal names. They had never exchanged phone numbers, so she never received any reminders that she would get a letter from him if she didn’t come down to check.

After she got home, she had opened the envelope. The first line she had read was an apology from him, then he had told her he had been on a mission and had been seriously injured. He had only just recovered from the injury.

Only then, did she learn he was in the military.

It was also in that moment that she had started to treat this pen-pal as a friend that she had never seen in real life.

The reason she had felt that way was because she had found the same traits she loved in Gu Yusheng in this pen-pal, but she wouldn’t see Gu Yusheng again.

They both had the same dream of protecting their country.

Later, her life became a little busier due to her dad’s gambling problem. She was afraid of missing his letters, so she gave him her phone number as a safeguard. Whenever there was mail for “A”, she asked for a text message to be sent.

He had never asked for her real-life identity over the past years. She had never bothered to ask about his identity, either. They had been writing to each other until then.

He didn’t know what her real name was, nor did she know his.

He called her “A,” while she called him “S.”

Qin Zhi’ai heaved a slight sigh and pulled herself back from her thoughts.

She looked up at the sky outside of the window. The mail had been sitting in the security office for a couple of days. She thought she should go to A high school to get her mail, since she had nothing important to do that day, and the weather wasn’t too hot.

A high school didn’t allow cars to park outside the school, so she parked on a side street two hundred yards away from the school.

She wore the makeup that Liang Doukou usually wore. She was afraid of being recognized, so she put on a mask and sunglasses before she got out of the car.

The guard she knew best wasn’t in the office. Qin Zhi’ai searched through a pile of letters and found a letter for A. She said thanks to the guard on duty that she didn’t know and put the mail in her purse before she left the school.

Qin Zhiai took off the mask and sunglasses after she got back into the car. When she took out the car keys and was about to start the car, she suddenly heard a sharp and loud beeping.

Qin Zhi’ai looked in the rearview mirror in confusion. She saw Gu Yusheng casually sitting on the roof of the car behind her in casual clothes and looking back at her through the rearview mirror.
