Enclosed: Letter from Xu Xiangyang to Zhu Qingyue

Zhu Qingyue:

Hello!

This letter comes with one purpose alone, which is to express to you how I feel, so I'll just come right out and say it:

I like you! Please give me a chance to be your boyfriend.

Even though we are not in the same class, I have been paying attention to you for a very long time.

If you were to ask me when I started liking you, I think a line of poetry I once read from Tagore would be the most fitting description:

"When I walked along with the crowded lanes hand in hand with the multitude, I saw your smile peering at me from your balcony and as I sang, I forgot all the tumult."
