Chapter 390 You Can't Write It Like This
The inspection and explanation of this matter were completely unfamiliar to Gu Juncheng.
He had never written anything like this in his more than thirty years of life, from his childhood schooling in the village to his later military service.
After returning to school, he spent all his free time thinking about this, and he wouldn't even go play basketball when Wu Tianping asked him to.
Wu Tianping found it strange. This person was writing all day long. What was he writing about? It didn't seem like he was studying or working.
He secretly crept up behind Gu Juncheng to take a look.
Gu Juncheng was extremely alert and immediately turned around and caught him.
But Wu Tianping immediately noticed the title: Inspection.
"What mistake did you make? Write a self-criticism?" Wu Tianping was very puzzled, completely ignoring that Gu Juncheng was still holding his collar, and was full of concern for his brother.
Wu Tianping couldn't very well say that this report was written for his wife, could he? No, it was for his wife, for whom he hadn't yet obtained a marriage certificate.
He was taken aback, unsure how to answer Wu Tianping's question.
However, in that brief moment of hesitation, Wu Tianping moved with lightning speed, snatching the self-criticism from him. Upon reading it, he chuckled and loudly proclaimed, "I, Gu Juncheng, hereby offer a profound self-criticism to Comrade Lin Qingping..."
"Wu Tianping!" Gu Juncheng's face turned red with anger as he stepped forward, grabbed the jumping Wu Tianping, and snatched the letter back.
Wu Tianping couldn't stop laughing. "Who cares to look at this? It's not a love letter! What's the point of hiding it?"
Gu Juncheng was too lazy to pay attention to him; this was a self-criticism he had spent a long time writing!
Wu Tianping walked over and put his arm around his shoulder. "Master Gu! Old Gu! Brother Gu! Although you are a year or two older than me and your rank is higher, I sincerely and earnestly give you my advice. The things you wrote, firstly, secondly, firstly, secondly, and finally, will not move Comrade Lin's heart. Believe me, she will not forgive you!"
Gu Juncheng didn't believe it. He thought his self-criticism was very detailed, sincere, well-structured, and logically sound. He had revised it several times and there was nothing missing.
"Fine, if you don't believe me, go ahead and send yours out and see how Comrade Lin reacts. If it doesn't pass muster, then come back and ask me for advice. I'll be charging you a mentorship fee." Wu Tianping said with great certainty.
Seeing his reaction, Gu Juncheng couldn't help but feel intimidated. He frowned and pondered, "Then tell me, how should I write it?"
Wu Tianping couldn't bear to see Comrade Gu, who was "at his age," still struggling with his life's most important matter, so he had to give him some pointers. "Old Gu, you think you can impress a woman by writing something like a report? What point in this is that Comrade Lin doesn't understand? If she didn't understand, you wouldn't have been able to get into her house long ago, let alone take Zhiyuan to the island. She just needs your attitude."
Gu Juncheng was even more bewildered upon hearing this, "Isn't my attitude sincere enough?"
Wu Tianping was speechless. Pointing at his letter, he said, "You must show sincerity through your actions. Don't betray her, don't deceive her, and don't keep your thoughts to yourself. As for your words, they must be moving! They must be heartwarming! This is like a report you're writing; even the instructors are getting a headache from reading it!"
Gu Juncheng fell into deep thought.
In terms of understanding women, Wu Tianping is definitely better than him.
He decided to sincerely ask for advice, "Then tell me, how should I write it?"
Wu Tianping was very patient and told him, "First of all, don't write it in this format. If you write a letter, it should start with 'Dear XXX.' By the way, how do you usually address her?"
“Lin…Lin Qingping,” Gu Juncheng said truthfully.
Wu Tianping clicked his tongue. "I was talking about before your divorce."
“That’s true…” Gu Juncheng didn’t see anything wrong with it.
Wu Tianping was shocked. "You...you...call her by her full name?"
"Otherwise what?" Gu Juncheng thought for a moment. Lin Qingping called him that too!
"No wonder you got divorced!" Wu Tianping waved his hand.
Gu Juncheng: ? ? ? What does divorce have to do with what you call someone?
Wu Tianping sighed, "Comrade Gu, you should know that husband and wife are the closest relationship in the world. They should have different terms of address to show their special intimacy."
Gu Juncheng was very eager to learn and asked him, "Then why do you call Mei Li Comrade?"
“I called her…” Wu Tianping stopped himself in time, not wanting to tell him! But he couldn’t resist his curiosity, so he put his arm around Gu Juncheng’s shoulder and lowered his voice, “By the way, when you two…did that, what did you call her?”
Gu Juncheng's brows furrowed into a deep frown. "When?"
“It was… during that time…” Wu Tianping revealed a different, knowing look.
Gu Juncheng was furious when he heard this. Would a decent person discuss such a matter?
"Get out!" He pushed Wu Tianping away.
Wu Tianping was both surprised and amused. Knowing Old Gu's character... He thought for a moment, then suppressed a laugh and said, "You wouldn't be calling him by Comrade Lin's full name, would you?"
Gu Juncheng ignored him and hurriedly left with the letter.
As for Wu Tianping's suggestion...
He pondered it for a moment, but dismissed it. Was Lin Qingping such a shallow person? Didn't she always call him by his full name? She was definitely not that kind of person!
Thinking about it this way, he became even more convinced that his self-examination and explanation were very well written, but when he was about to send it out, he was still very uneasy: was his martial arts correct or not?
To ensure everything went perfectly, he finally decided to add a "pleasant and touching" phrase at the end. So he picked up his pen and added what he thought was a very pleasant phrase before putting the report in the envelope and sealing it.
He didn't know how Lin Qingping would react after receiving the letter.
He carefully calculated the time. Logically, Lin Qingping should receive the letter on the second day, or at the latest the third day. Shouldn't two days be enough for her to write a reply? And then send it back? All in all, it should take at most a week...
But ten days passed and he received no response.
Unfortunately, he can't go back this week.
With the second weekend fast approaching, he packed his things, preparing to go home as soon as it was time, when Wu Tianping stopped him, "Old Gu, don't go back this week!"
"Why?" Gu Juncheng didn't remember having any missions or training this week.
"Let's go play ball," Wu Tianping said.
Upon hearing this, Gu Juncheng lost interest and said, "I'm not going."
“Go ahead!” Wu Tianping said. “It’s a friendly match organized by the university. We’re playing against the Capital University! I called home and told my wife to tell Comrade Lin Qingping to come and watch.”
Gu Juncheng slowed down his packing.
Wu Tianping then put his arm around Gu Juncheng's shoulder and said, "Let me tell you, when guys play basketball, they attract the most attention from girls. Lin Qingping hasn't seen you play basketball yet, has she? Let her see your style!"
