Jihai stared at the girl in front of him, his heart swelling with different emotions. She was very beautiful, her fair skin was delicate and smooth and her brown eyes were clear and bright, giving people a sense of comfort and tranquility.
"I forgot my jacket back in the dormitory, because I was late." He smiled, as he observed how uncomfortable she was.
"Oh, I should get going now. Your class is about to start now."
He caught her hand and skimmed through her fingers. "Wait for me."
Longwei coughed lightly and tilted his head towards the direction of the teacher looking at them with a grim face.
"Bye, Jihai." Chunlan rushed out of the class room.
"Bye." He whispered.
After classes, he went around looking for Chunlan with his friend, Longwei. Did she forget about him again? Where did she go this time? He felt a little worried after the stunt she pulled yesterday.
"Jihai, did something happen between you and Chunlan? Why is she behaving like a loving girlfriend?" Longwei said, gauging his friend's expression.
"Not your business." Jihai said indifferently.
Longwei scratched the back of his head. "Could it be that both of you.....have finally sealed the deal? Ow!" He groaned, after receiving a light kick from Jihai.
"Get lost!"
Jihai finally stopped and looked around. It seemed she had gone to her dorm to retire. His eyelashes lowered in sadness. He had wanted to spend some quality time with her, something that they hadn't done recently but she didn't wait for him. Could it be that this morning was just a dream and now this was reality?
He checked his watch, soon he had to leave for his part time job. Turning around, he started walking to his own dorm until he heard someone call his name.
"Jihai!" A boy ran up to him, huffing out of breath.
"What is it?"
"The vice chancellor is looking for you."
Jihai's eyes narrowed coldly."Got it."
Longwei turned to face his friend. " Jihai, this-"
"Leave this to me." He followed the boy.
When they reached the vice chancellor's office, the boy who accompanied him turned around to leave. Jihai knocked lightly, waiting for a response.
"Come in." A sultry female voice rang out.
He stepped in, a lady coming into his view. Her wavy hair was let down, her red full lips puckering. She had opened the first two buttons of her red shirt, showing her ample cleavage out of her black suit.
"Vice Chancellor." He sat down, sighing internally. What did she want this time?
"Jihai, I told you to call me Wenyi." The woman frowned slightly. Hearing no response, she got up and stood in front of him leaning back on her desk.
"What did you call me for?" His voice revealed a tinge of annoyance.
"Colossus Co-operation called, asking you to start your internship in mid May. Have you started preparing?" She leaned in, playing with his crisp blue collar.
He hit her hand away. "I am still deciding."
"Deciding? About what? Do you know how many people dream to work there? Why are you hesitant?"
She took out an envelope. "If its money, the school has already offered to help you."
He made no movement to collect it. "I will have to respectfully decline, but I will thank the chancellor personally." He smirked, seeing her pale slightly.
"Jihai, why do you still treat me like-"
"Jihai!" A girl entered the room, abruptly carrying a bag of food. She was out of breath.
Chunlan.
Chunlan sat down beside Jihai after catching her breath. She had waited for Jihai but thought he might be hungry and went to buy some food for him before his part time job started."How dare you enter this office without being summoned?" Liu Wenyi's voice was scathing.Chunlan said innocently "I wanted to talk to you about something and the secretary said I could go in. Who knew I would meet my boyfriend here?"Wenyi struggled to contain her anger. How could she be looking for her when the first thing she said was Jihai's name? She was obviously her for Jihai! Meanwhile, Chunlan was watching Jihai whose cold eyes betrayed panic and guilt. In their previous life, Jihai had come to this office alone when Wenyi threatened to cease his final result he needed to submit to Colossus in exchange for sex. In order to give her a better life, her Jihai lost his virginity to this scheming woman. In this life, no wa
Jihai froze. "Chunlan, what did you say?"Chunlan felt her palms sweat as she stared at him. Did she say it out loud? What should she do? She had no plans of denying it but she was just too embarrassed to repeat it.Mustering her courage, she exhaled and said softly." Jihai, I.....love you." Her eyes darted around her surroundings as her cheeks turned into a beautiful shade of pink.She clasped her hands as she noticed the place turn silent. Finally she couldn't take it anymore and turned to face him. "Jihai, I-""I have to go. I can't be late for my shift." He stood up abruptly, picking his bag from the floor beside him, his expression cold and stiff . "Thank you for the food, I'll see you later."Chunlan stood up, intending to pack the food for him to carry looked up to see him already boarding a cab. She sat down, blankly staring at the food. What just happened? Why didn't he respond? Could
"But how did you know about the satchel?" Menxiang turned, confused."I saw it in your purse." Chunlan lied flawlessly, schooling her facial features in place."Oh...okay. Well I will see you later. Bye." Menxiang grabbed her purse on the table and closed the door, quietly.Chunlan stood with determination. She was going to get an answer from him. In this life, she was his and he was hers. There was no room for escape!She finally arrived in front of a fast food restaurant. She got out of the cab, tipping the driver and stared at the entrance. Taking a deep breath, she walked inside, sitting at a corner of the booth.She spotted him, taking an order from a group of girls, his face a cold mask. She could see it in their eyes the love and admiration. She consciously checked herself. Why did she forget to make up?After taking their order, he moved to her table not looking
Chunlan woke up, her heart full and fluttery. She stretched lazily like a cat, rubbing her sleepy eyes in a circular motion her lips curling upward into a tender smile as she recalled last night events.After the tender confession, they strolled around laughing. She took out a pair of scissors, her heart beating loudly. "In ancient times, lovers cut their hair and tied it together as they made a promise of eternal love. Jihai, are you willing?"He stared at her, taking the scissors from her as he snipped a strand of his hair and gave it to her quietly. She cut a strand of her hair and tied it together into a bow. "Keep it, Jihai. No matter where you go."He collected the hair and tucked it in his breast pocket as he placed a kiss n her forehead. "Its time to take you back."Chunlan's memory came to a halt as she heard someone sobbing quietly. Jumping up from the bed, she opened the bathroom door."M
On the holidays, Chunlan decided to go back to the Tang mansion. As she entered the limo assigned to pick her up she made a mental list about what she had to do this time.1. Patch things up with her little sisters.2. Protect her family wealth.3. Kick Ke Mingze out of her house!All these three was very important to her. When she had first transmigrated to this world, she had identified her sisters as enemies fated in this world. They were ruthless, annoying and spoilt little brats dedicated to making her life a living hell. She rubbed her eyes as she sighed. What she had once again failed to notice was the fact that her father and her mother hadn't planned to have other children after her. The elite society loved having only one child in a lifetime and her mother saw the twins as nuisances, leaving them neglected. She forgot that th
After the awkward dinner with her family ended, Chunlan decided to take a nap in her room. Meanwhile, the sisters, Tang Chunhua and Tang Chunying sat in the patio gazing at the birds chirping on the trees next to the windows."Don't you think Jie Jie is acting strangely? She invited us to go shopping.." Chunying asked, a little confused.Chunhua scoffed. "She is surely up to something!"How could Chunlan, their ruthless and selfish sister suddenly turn into an angel? Chunlan had always looked down on them, just because their births were unexpected. She never wanted to have anything to do with them, and now she wants to spend time with them? Unbelievable!"We should make plans. We should not allow her to ruin our graduation." Chunying said exasperated. She had important guests coming!"Don't worry. We will attack before she does. I won't allow her to make us a laughingstock!"C
Chunlan hardly stepped into the mansion when Chunhua grabbed her hand, gripping it tightly."Chunlan, what exactly do you want? Say it clearly! If you think you can bully me and my sister, just because you are back, then you are mistaken!"Chunlan pulled her hand back, her muscles cramping. She sighed heavily, repeating her mantra: They are your sisters! Your baby sisters!"Hua'er, I will admit today that I, Tang Chunlan have wronged you! I have failed to treat you and Ying'er well and I have no excuses. But from now on, I promise I will do better. Can't we just let bygones be bygones?!"Chunhua laughs before her eyes comes alive with pain and rage. "18 years! I waited for you to say that for 18 years! You never wanted to have anything to do with us, and you selfishly took all the love that was meant for us! Listen, I and my sister want nothing to do with you. Leave us alone!" She walked away angrily.
"Aw, so sweet.." Menxiang drawled."Okay, I have to go now. Bye, guys." Chunlan could hardly move her eyes from Jihai's own. Her heart felt alive in her chest."Bye." Jihai stared at the girl in the screen, his fingers failing to end the call. He could remain like this all day, gazing at her.Unable to bear it anymore, Mengqi stood up plastering a smile on her face as she walked to his side. "See you later, Chunlan." Her slender finger pressed the red button.Grabbing his sleeve, she whined softly. "Come, we are all drinking and you are the only one that is still sober.""Yet you didn't invite Chunlan." He removed his arm from her hands.She stammered. "I-I f-fforgot, okay? And besides we promised to get together at another time. Why don't you sit down and I will get your drink. Enjoy yourself, you are too uptight."Su Menxiang narrowed her eyes a
