I Seem Unsuited for Dating Chapter 43

　　Xia Wei let out a long list of ellipses in her heart.

　　Was it Mr. Jiang's childhood ambition to be a language teacher?

　　Jiang Zhi Zhou took off his ap.r.o.n and said to Xia Wei: "I'll be heading home. Come over once you've written that letter."

　　"...yes, Teacher Jiang."

　　Jiang Zhi Zhou gave her a look, then turned and left. Xia Wei stood rooted to the ground for a while. After adjusting from this sudden complication, she went to the drawer and pulled out a notebook and a pen.

　　Taking her stationery into the living room, Xia Wei sat on the sofa to think. She twirled a lock of hair about irritably for about five minutes. This was giving her flashbacks to writing compositions during college entrance examinations!

　　Anyway, why did she have to write another love letter to him? And with the same sentence structure? Maybe he'd like her to quote a few famous people too?

　　No thank you!

　　Xia Wei bravely put down her pen and slammed the notebook shut.

　　Rolling on the sofa in a curled up position for a minute, she looked over the half-cleaned room. It was impossible for her alone to handle it all today. Besides, Suns.h.i.+ne was still downstairs. Surely Mr. Jiang wouldn't take out his anger on him, would he?

　　... The more you think, the more you worry.

　　For Twiggy and Suns.h.i.+ne... she would write through the humiliation!

　　Xia Wei picked up the pen, and suddenly her literary thoughts flowed like a mountain spring.

　　Mr. Jiang, I like you. ^o^

　　I like the egg fried rice you make. ^o^

　　I like the fried fish you make. ^o^

　　I like the sweet and sour pork ribs you make. ^o^

　　I like the special steamed eggs you make. ^o^

　　I like the boiled beef you make. ^o^

　　I like the glutinous rice lotus root you make. ^o^

　　I like everything you cook. ^o^

　　Ever since I met you, I've had a wonderful appet.i.te, up to three bowls of rice every day. ^o^

　　After writing, Xia Wei read her masterpiece aloud and felt that it was perfect! Not only was the language fluent and sincere, but she had used six whole paragraphs, twice as many as the one written for Tao Yu!

　　She happily picked up the love letter and went down to Mr. Jiang.

　　When she rang the doorbell to 1808, Xia Wei was still a little nervous. She cleared her throat and tidied up her hair.

　　Jiang Zhi Zhou opened the door for her shortly afterward. Without speaking, he looked down at her condescendingly. Xia Wei smiled brightly at him and handed him her newly completed masterpiece. "Mr. Jiang, here you go!"

　　Jiang Zhi Zhou glanced at the notebook she handed over, and raised his eyebrows. "That was fast."

　　"Yeah! Because I like you so much that I didn't need to dwell on it!"

　　Jiang Zhi Zhou: "..."

　　Although he felt that the notebook wasn't as fancy as cute pink stationery, he reluctantly accepted it. "I'll take a look."

　　He opened the notebook and looked down.

　　Every time he looked at a line, his brows knitted. Five seconds later, he looked up and looked at Xia Wei sullenly: "Do you actually call this kind of thing a love letter?"

　　If he hadn't long thrown away the love letters he'd received before, he would have taken them out for her to study!

　　"Of course it is! The feelings in it are so sincere! And just as you requested, I doubled the number of paragraphs! Even the emoticons were changed from a closed mouth to a happy, open-mouthed smile!"

　　Jiang Zhi Zhou: "..."

　　He looked at the ^o^ expressions for a moment before saying to Xia Wei, "You're so talkative when really you just like to eat."

　　Xia Wei: "..."

　　The two looked at each other in silence for a while. Jiang Zhi Zhou asked, "Where's that love letter you wrote to Tao Yu?"

　　"Upstairs, why do you ask?"

　　Jiang Zhi Zhou put his outside shoes back on and closed the door behind him. "Execute it."

　　Xia Wei: "..."

　　After returning to Xia Wei's residence, Jiang Zhi Zhou found a special porcelain basin, threw the love letter inside, and set it on fire.

　　Xia Wei: "..."

　　The little love letter was soon burned to a crisp. Jiang Zhi Zhou picked up the porcelain basin, poured the ashes into the toilet bowl, and then flushed it down the drain.

　　"Alright then." After the execution of the love letter, he felt a little better.

　　Xia Wei had watched this entire journey with a look of "I'm glad that you're having fun" plastered on her face, but her heart was relieved seeing him look better. She hadn't expected him to see this letter - if she had known, she might have burned it in advance.

　　"Jiang..." Xia Wei called out, but before she could utter a word, Jiang Zhi Zhou suddenly spun around and kissed her on the lips.

　　Xia Wei froze. This kiss was hardly as gentle as before. He even pried her lips open and slipped his dexterous tongue in.

　　Xia Wei's heart was beating fast again. She felt out of breath, as if she was about to drown in this kiss. She unconsciously raised her hand and pushed at his shoulders. Jiang Zhi Zhou renewed the kiss for a moment before finally releasing her.

　　Both of them were breathing heavily. Taking her in his arms, Jiang Zhi Zhou asked unsteadily: "Are you still in love with Tao Yu now?"

　　Xia Wei only gasped and answered, "No, but..."

　　When Jiang Zhi Zhou heard "but", his eyebrows shot up: "But what?"

　　"But next time, can we not kiss in the toilet?"

　　Jiang Zhi Zhou: "..."

　　Once their breathing stabilized, Jiang Zhi Zhou let go of Xia Wei and looked at her. "You mentioned that Tian Tian hid the love letter so that Tao Yu never received it?"

　　Xia Wei nodded: "Yeah."

　　Jiang Zhi Zhou said: "Although I don't know why Tian Tian would hide your love letters, I'd still like to express my grat.i.tude to her. Let her know that she's welcome over for dinner anytime."

　　Xia Wei: "........."

　　As Jiang Zhi Zhou once again put on his ap.r.o.n to help clean up, Xia Wei unlocked her mobile phone and texted Tian Tian. "Mr. Jiang invites you to dinner..."
