Chapter 1122 - 1121 Jinrui Receives a Letter 1
Zheng Jinrui received the letter at noon, right when he took the letter to the state-run restaurant. He ordered a bowl of egg noodles and waited until they were served before opening the letter. As he read, eating along, he nearly choked on an egg once he grasped the content, his eyes as wide as the eggs themselves, his mouth open enough to stuff a double-yolk egg inside.
"So it was because I didn’t persist?" he hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth, incredulously reading the letter a second time.
After finishing, Zheng Jinrui, quite a big man, was so saddened that he almost shed tears, especially when he thought about how it seemed like he hadn’t confessed his love to Chen Xueniang for five years, merely watching her silently and helping her out.
If only he had confessed again five years ago—no, forget five years, even if he had done it four years ago, might he have won the beauty’s heart?
He had no appetite for food at that moment!
But then again, wasting food was shameful.
Zheng Jinrui wolfed down the bowl of noodles, sprang up, and charged enthusiastically out of the state-run restaurant, planning to find Chen Xueniang and confess. But after running only a dozen steps, he stopped.
Everyone was still at work; wouldn’t finding her now cause her trouble?
He’d better wait until after work to find her!
Zheng Jinrui took a day and a half off; most units were just passing time nowadays, many operations had been halted, and nobody cared or asked even if some people took off ten days or half a month.
Although the department store was booming, Zheng Jinrui was an official and didn’t have to sell goods, so he got time off quite easily.
