CHAPTER 31: CHAPTER 31: A LOVE LETTER LIKE NO OTHER

Listening to this heartfelt confession, Yu Xia realized that there existed such a touching love, such an earth-shattering love letter in the world!

It’s simply a major advancement in human history, a great leap in the mammalian world!

It moved her to tears, made her want to run wildly to the end of the world!

While she was moved to tears, there, Chen Ergou continued expressing his overwhelming affection, making Gang Dan blush with two patches of red on her cheeks and shyly punch him in the chest—nearly caving him in.

"My lover, I solemnly want to tell you: I have six people in my family, one old person, two parents, three younger brothers, seven dogs, eight ducks, nine chickens, marrying me will never be pitiful. Look, I can even rhyme. Would you like to marry me?"

"What a... unique confession."

Wei Yaoyao trembled and turned to look at her: "Yu Xia, why, why are you crying?"

"You don’t understand, I am moved to tears."

Xie Qingci: "..." Drama queen.

Gang Dan, who was being confessed to, sniffled, about to touch Chen Ergou’s face and shout "I do," suddenly looked over at them.

"Xie Zhiqing! I knew you couldn’t forget me either!"

Xie Qingci’s body shook.

He almost managed to forget completely, if she hadn’t turned her head.

Yu Xia and Wei Yaoyao quickly leaned against the wall, pretending to pass by, making Xie Qingci, who stood there prominently, even more noticeable.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

At this moment, Yu Xia really wanted to see the reactions of the netizens on the bullet screen. She praised the original scriptwriters of "Variety Show;" these dedicated NPCs truly surprised her.

At this moment, the bullet screen was densely packed, completely covering the live stream interface, giving the most direct reaction.

[Hahahahaha I laughed till I could capture the moon from the highest heavens and grab a turtle from the deepest seas]

[I can’t stop laughing, pounding my chest and stamping my feet can’t express the extent of my wild laughter, I want to run three kilometers with my phone held high]

[Mr. Chen Two Dog is really good; knowing such difficult English, I really admire you]

[Not saying anything, sisters, let me buy insurance first before I come back and continue to laugh]

[Hahahahaha, I thought Yu Xia’s card-flinging tantrum was already funny enough, didn’t expect there to be even funnier scenes hahahaha/tear-filled face rolling on the ground.jpg]

[One old people hahahahaha this would make an English teacher die from anger]

[Really admire the NPCs, being able to keep a straight face like this, if it were me, I’d laugh till I had oxygen deprivation in my brain]

[Why are Yu Xia and Wei Yaoyao so funny, Xie Qingci’s trembling was so obvious hahahaha]

[Fuck hahahahaha]

The screen was full of "hahaha," and the director sitting backstage couldn’t help laughing along.

At this subtle moment, the deeply confessing Chen Ergou put away the letter and turned to look at the three of them.

Yu Xia’s gaze fell on the red thermals under his oversized jacket, her mouth opening wide enough to fit an egg.

She stammered, expressing her difficulty: "This... red... comrade, is it your birth year? Your red thermals are showing..."

Also, how come people in this day and age still have v-necked red thermals?!

Chen Ergou didn’t care at all, even giving her a look like "you don’t understand fashion."

Then he deliberately patted the elastic band of his thermals covering the red thermals, proudly saying, "What do you know, I wore it this way on purpose."

"...Truly fashionable."

"It’s okay," he patted his slicked-back hair again, glaring at Xie Qingci, his tone hostile: "You’re Xie Zhiqing? You want to compete with me for her?"

Xie Qingci: "I wouldn’t dare, I wish you happiness and a prosperous future."

Before Chen Ergou finished his lines, the blessings for the next few years had already been expressed.

He had nothing to say, while Gang Dan beside him started sobbing loudly.

"Xie Zhiqing, don’t be like this! We still..."

What’s more might be prematurely cut off by Xie Qingci: "Gang Dan Auntie remember? We agreed, when you get married, I’ll give two cents as a gift; why don’t you get married on the spot so I can hand over the money and leave?"

Gang Dan stammered: "A-auntie? Auntie?!"

Yu Xia couldn’t help but laugh against the wall, thinking to herself how Xie Qingci would always rely on his young age to directly confront.

They argued a few more lines; Yu Xia seized the opportunity to grab some money and asked Chen Ergou for the love letter.

The unique Chinese-English mixed love letter, without a few sticky classic love quotes, actually included things like chickens, ducks, and geese, and even numbers.

The numbers were so densely packed that she had a bold idea—the code for "Malankaihua Twenty-One" might just be 2825628257282931, only translated using this awkward Chinese phonetic translation method.

But Chen Ergou wouldn’t let her see it.

"This is the testament of love for me and Gang Dan, you want to see it? Give me a reason that can convince me."

This could be the final, most important clue, Yu Xia felt a burning desire, deciding to put aside her dignity to get that piece of paper.

She first sighed, then looked toward the sky, building up tears in her eyes slowly.

This skill made Wei Yaoyao give her a thumbs-up, expressing admiration.

Then she trembled her lips, her tone distant, saying:

"This involves a really heartrending story, it was the summer of 1979, in the evening, not a star in the sky, I walked on the village path, and the returning old cow was my companion..."

Xie Qingci sneaked a glance at her, thinking to himself how the vibrant red lips when they moved, nothing good ever came out.

It was like this back in the day, even more so now.

Chen Ergou simply interrupted her: "Hey hey hey, don’t think just because you don’t sing I won’t know this is a song. Just say it directly, what do you really want to do?"

Yu Xia immediately stopped, changed her tone, and said sincerely: "Actually, Xie Zhiqing was so shocked by your overwhelming love for Gang Dan that he found himself utterly dull and uninteresting, wanting to borrow it to learn."

Xie Qingci: "..."

See, he said, she just doesn’t speak human language.

Wei Yaoyao giggled on the side, her curly hair fluttering in the wind, listening, as she heard Chen Ergou saying, "No way, what if he learns and then lures my Gang Dan to him?"

Yu Xia assured confidently: "Don’t worry, Xie Zhiqing has changed! If that doesn’t work... Wei has a girl he loves, he also wants to learn how to write love letters; is it okay for him to learn?"

Chen Ergou looked at Wei Yaoyao’s curly hair, complicatedly nodding: "That’s doable, without the red thermals it’s indeed hard to find someone. May I ask, what’s the name of the girl he likes? I can teach on the spot."

Yu Xia eagerly took the paper, casually replying, "Oh, her name is Maodan."

Wei Yaoyao: "!"
