I turned my head to the side, sulking and refusing to look at him.
The business tycoon, Pei Li, who was rumored to be indifferent to women, chuckled helplessly. "Is our Xiao Tian still angry?"
I let out a cold huff.
The man stuffed his hands in his pockets and leaned closer to me.
I frowned and leaned back, and he laughed softly. "Tang Xiaotian."
"What do you want?"
"What’s my name?"
I locked eyes with him. "Pei Li."
He straightened up. "Okay, I'm sorry. Can we not be angry with each other?"
I was weak; he used his charm against me, and I had no reason to stay mad.
That night, I didn’t answer his question about whether I would consider him.
I was still afraid, worried that he might act on a whim.
In a soft tone, with a hint of pride, I said, "Uncle Jiang said I should aim higher in relationships. He wants to see how Mr. Pei performs before he gives his approval."
Pei Li straightened up again, his voice sweet and teasing. "Alright."
I heard that after that day, Pei Li immediately sent out a notice in the company group: there would be a meeting the next day for everyone to attend. The topic was "How to Pursue a Girl 12 Years Younger?" It was scheduled for 8 AM, and everyone was expected to bring their proposals, especially the married ones.
The meeting lasted the entire morning.
After hearing Assistant Qin, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. What should I do? Uncle Pei, that old man, is a bit charming.
He can handle billions in contracts, yet he can't deal with me? How hard can it be?
If you ask me, I'll just tell him straight up.
I thought Pei Li would make a big move after the meeting, but surprisingly, there wasn't even a hint of it.
I gritted my teeth and confided in Assistant Qin. So what was I expecting?
As luck would have it, the school invited Pei Li to give a speech. I heard that the venue was packed, and students who couldn't get in were still hanging around outside, just hoping to catch a glimpse of this legend in the business world.
I originally wanted to go see him. Although I felt a bit awkward, I didn't want to miss any moment of his presence.
But there were just too many people, and I couldn't secure a spot.
The speech ended at 2 PM, and because I missed it, I was distracted all afternoon.
The weather that day was unusually nice. Holding a cup of milk tea, I walked briskly at the front, my shadow stretching long under the sun.
Pei Li and Jiang Huai followed behind me, looking quite friendly.
I wasn't sure if I misheard, but Jiang Huai lowered his voice and muttered to Pei Li, "So shameless."
Pei Li chuckled lightly, his gaze always following my lively figure. "Xiao Tian."
I turned around. "Hmm?"
"Slow down."
"Alright."
The affection of student days is beautiful yet innocent, a feeling one wants to express but dares not. Perhaps everyone clumsily loves the person hidden in their heart in their own way. That seemingly hopeless crush became the biggest gamble of my youth.
Do you know? Every page of my diary has carefully written your name; that was my subtle way of liking you.
My youth is short, and one name is enough to encapsulate it.
The teacher spoke endlessly in class, and I lost count of how many times I glanced at my phone.
The screen displayed my WeChat chat with Pei Li, the latest message from two days ago.
I sighed and once again turned off my phone in disappointment.
A liar, claiming to like someone, yet after coming to our school to give a speech, he didn't even send me a message.
A big liar. Jiang Huai was right; men are the best at deceiving.
I don't even know why I feel this way. I really dislike this feeling, as if ants are crawling in my heart, something I can't ignore no matter how hard I try.
It's truly frustrating.
