Chapter 807

The desks in the classroom were the same as they were ten years ago . She could remember well the one she used to lie on .

But that had happened ten years ago . . . Lu Jinnian pointed at a desk that was peeling off, then told her with absolute certainty that it was hers . She didn't believe him at all, and thought that he was talking nonsense . She pursed her lips and said, "You're making it up . "

Lu Jinnian raised his brows, but didn't argue . Instead, he released her hand and pulled the chair from under the desk . He sat there, half-crouched at the desk, then reached his arm out and rubbed the table for quite some time . All of a sudden, he said, "En, it's here . "

"What's there?" asked Qiao Anhao curiously in return, as she had no idea what he meant by that .

Lu Jinnian didn't say a word, but guided her hand under the table and against the left side of the drawer .

She felt the bumpy wooden table with the tip of her finger, and turned her head to look over at Lu Jinnian in bewilderment .

He still didn't utter a word . He just pressed down and slid her fingertips across the table, slowly following the grooves . The feel of English letters against her fingertips registered in her brain, and she looked at Lu Jinnian in realization . Then, in a questioning tone, she said, "S?"

Lu Jinnian gave a nod, then continued to lead her along another English letter . With each one, Qiao Anhao would spell it out .

"H?"

"M?"

"I?"

"L?"

"Y?"

That was the final letter, and Qiao Anhao tilted her head in deep thought for a moment, then formed a word from those letters . She couldn't resist but let it slip . "Shmily?"

"Shmily means 'See,how,much,I,love,you' . . . " As she said this to herself, she wondered how Lu Jinnian could of carved the letters there . She gazed into his eyes, and as if a light was set free, she asked, "Did you carve them here?"

"En,' Lu Jinnian whispered gently as he slowly got up .

Deep down inside, Qiao Anhao did actually know the answer, but she felt more assured after she asked . Now that she heard his answer, her mind made a daring assumption . "After you were transferred from Class One to Class Three, you deliberately chose to sit at the desk I laid on?"

Lu Jinnian gently pushed the chair back to it's original spot, then let his eyes fall on her face .

Just then she thought that he would say she was over-thinking things, but she heard him slowly say, "Not just the desk, but also the same chair you sat on . However, I believe it's been scrapped by now . I was looking around but couldn't find it . "

As he said this, Lu Jinnian searched the classroom again, before finally allowing his eyes to fall on the fifth seat by the window . He raised his finger and pointed . "Back then, you sat there, right?"

This, Qiao Anhao remembered well . She did in fact sit on the fifth row against the window . Well, actually she sat against the wall at first and Qiao Anxia sat against the window . She had then used two months worth of allowance and a lot of pleading before she agreed to swap seats .
