Chapter 13

In the memories Li Ye inherited, his impression of Watching Wen Leyu wasn't very deep.

One reason was that Watching Wen Leyu was a "quiet" girl who rarely took the initiative to communicate with others.

Even if you talked to her, it would be like a monologue for half a day before she would concisely reply with one or two words; some children at Liu Qiao Township Elementary School mocked her and called her "Little Mute."

Another reason might be that Watching Wen Leyu's appearance didn't fit the aesthetics of this era at all; Li Ye was only focused on looking at Lu Jingyao at that time, thus ignoring this pearl in the sand, this uncut jade.

Looking at the movie stars of the 70s and 80s, they all had "moon-like" round faces.

At worst, they were oval-faced, with plump figures, overflowing with a strong sense of youth and health.

For example, Liu Xiaoqing in "Little Flower," Cong Shan in "The Herdsman," or the Queen of the Daughter Kingdom in "Journey to the West," and so on.

And small faces like Lin Daiyu in "Dream of the Red Chamber" were very rare.

And Watching Wen Leyu had a small, palm-sized face, and the eyes on her face were extremely large, occupying most of the facial space, creating a different kind of beauty.

This gave people an illusion: at first glance, it was eye-catching, but thinking about it carefully, it felt not as good as xxx.

And through Watching Wen Leyu's face and hands, one could see that her skin really didn't have anything to do with the "ruddy" look popular in this era.

Watching Wen Leyu's skin was that kind of white without impurities, with a bit of a sickly look; this kind of skin was sought after as "cold white skin" in later generations, but in this era, it was usually associated with malnutrition from "not being full."

Added to Watching Wen Leyu's thin figure, by a stroke of bad luck, she was listed in the "poor child" category; she was pretty, but she couldn't be linked to the "peerless beauty" of this era.

But if such a Watching Wen Leyu were placed forty years later, she would simply be a genuine face that heaven would envy!

White, young, thin, plus big eyes; if one were to really evaluate it carefully, Watching Wen Leyu was a mixture of the advantages of several well-known long-legged, small-faced beauties of later generations.

But Watching Wen Leyu was younger than them, with a bit more innocence and a bit less sophistication, just like a flower bud with morning dew, pure and translucent.

For such a girl, having the opportunity to look a few more times, it's not too much, right?

So when Li Ye noticed Watching Wen Leyu peeking at him, he turned his head and waited quietly for her to look over.

Perhaps the gears of fate had begun to turn, perhaps the romantic connection had just clicked; Li Ye had just set his posture when Watching Wen Leyu's eyes looked over.

Watching Wen Leyu was visibly stunned for a moment.

But she didn't shyly turn her head back to avoid Li Ye's gaze like most girls of this era; instead, she met Li Ye's gaze very calmly.

If he were eighteen in his previous life, Li Ye wouldn't have had the guts to meet the gaze of a beauty of Watching Wen Leyu's level; in a few seconds, he would probably be timid and blushing.

But in this life, Li Ye's psychological age added up to several decades, and this body was handsome and fresh; let alone meeting a girl's eyes for a few seconds, even for a few minutes or hours, Li Ye wouldn't feel guilty.

Then, Li Ye was surprised, because he suddenly discovered that Watching Wen Leyu actually had a pair of eyes that could speak.

Watching Wen Leyu's gaze was friendly at first, but with Li Ye's calm appreciation, her beautiful brows gradually furrowed slightly, her eyes were puzzled, and then... finally, there was some small, shy annoyance.

"Long time no see?"

"What are you looking at me for?"

"You're still looking?"

"How did you become so bold now?"

"........"

Li Ye's eyes couldn't speak, but he could smile!

Eyes that could speak, as in the legends; wouldn't it be a loss not to appreciate them carefully?

"Ahem~"

"Pay attention to the lecture!"

A light cough on the podium made the two entangled gazes separate and return to the books.

Li Ye calmly continued to read the text, but Watching Wen Leyu pursed her lips tightly, as if she were angry.

And she didn't know who she was angry at.

"Now I will give some test questions; everyone write the answers on paper and hand them in later."

After Mr. Ke finished reading the text, she turned around and began to write questions on the blackboard.

At first, the students of Class One could write down the answers on their notebooks, but soon some began to be dumbfounded, and in the end, most people were scratching their heads, not knowing what to do.

Li Ye understood as soon as he saw it: these questions Mr. Ke wrote were clear in levels from easy to difficult, aiming to test the English foundation level of the students in Class One.

Judging from the reaction of the students in Class One, the result must be unsatisfactory.

Li Ye scanned the blackboard casually, and the fountain pen in his hand didn't stop, with one answer after another written smoothly on the exercise book.

Suddenly, he felt something, and turned his head to look at his deskmate.

Watching Wen Leyu looked at Li Ye's exercise book in surprise, then looked at Li Ye, and then looked at the exercise book again, obviously somewhat incomprehensible and unbelievable.

Even if she didn't understand the English level of the students at County Second High School, she knew Lu Jingyao's level; if the students at County Second High School were all this awesome, then how did Lu Jingyao get the first place in English in the whole county a few months ago?

"Students who haven't finished, answer the questions carefully; students who have finished, hand them in first."

Mr. Ke looked at Watching Wen Leyu and Li Ye again, and gave her daughter an unhappy look.

Watching Wen Leyu took her gaze back from Li Ye, quickly wrote the answers on the paper, and soon finished all the test questions.

The two handed the answers to the podium one after another, causing a burst of whispering.

"Did Li Ye finish writing?"

"He wouldn't have handed in a blank paper, would he?"

"That newcomer Wen something Yu also handed it in; is she that powerful? I only wrote less than half."

"You actually wrote half? You didn't guess it, did you......."

"Nonsense, aren't you guessing?"

It wasn't just the students of Class One who didn't believe Li Ye; even Mr. Ke was somewhat puzzled looking at the answers Li Ye handed in.

She was a professional; one glance and she knew how high the accuracy of the answers was, and Li Ye's skilled English font didn't look like someone who had just come into contact with English for a short time.

Li Ye didn't notice Mr. Ke's puzzlement; he was following Watching Wen Leyu back to the back row of the classroom, attracted by the swaying waist and hips in front of him.

Clothes in this day and age didn't have the concept of tight-fitting or body-shaping; they were all bloated and loose, covering people's figures tightly.

But Li Ye, who had watched millions of movies, had a sharp eye; just by the swaying height of Watching Wen Leyu's waist, he judged her upper and lower body proportions.

Long legs, absolutely long legs; at a height of 1.7 meters, she actually had long legs of over a meter; it was truly strange.

Of course, in this day and age, long legs were far less sought after than in later generations; Watching Wen Leyu's height of just over 1.7 meters might not necessarily be an advantage in many people's eyes.

For young men in the 80s, 1.75 meters was an absolute tall height, and more than half were under 1.7 meters; a handsome young man like Li Ye, who was 1.8 meters tall, was an abnormal, rare breed.

Similarly, for girls in the 80s, 1.6 meters felt very tall.

Watching Wen Leyu's height of just over 1.7 meters was like a girl of 1.85 meters in later generations; in the marriage market, it was a definite disadvantage. (This is true, there is marriage statistics data to prove it, but most of the parties involved don't know it.)

【What a welfare across time and space!】

Sitting at the same desk as Watching Wen Leyu gave Li Ye, who was a bit bored after crossing over, a little comfort.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle~"

A small note was quietly pushed in front of Li Ye by Watching Wen Leyu.

Li Ye looked and saw it written: "Are you going to take the exam to Beijing to find Lu Jingyao?"

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, not expecting the cold and indifferent Watching Wen Leyu to be gossipy too.

Without thinking, he wrote on the paper: "No, Lu Jingyao and I have ended; we have no relationship anymore."

Watching Wen Leyu was silent for a few seconds, then pushed the note back again: "If you want to take the exam to Lu Jingyao's school, I can help you."

Li Ye replied in seconds again: "No need, I'm going to take the exam for Qingbei."

"........"

Watching Wen Leyu, who had always been calm and steady, was shocked; she stared blankly at Li Ye, her small mouth open, and didn't close it for a long time.

Finally, she hesitated and wrote a few words on the note: "How many bowls of rice can you eat?"

Li Ye replied very honestly: "Three big bowls, must be heaped."
