The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

Chapter 847 - 844: Countless Tycoons Compete for Favor (3)

Yan Xixi explained, "A friend had already said they’d come to pick me up. But Li Zhen wasn’t at ease and insisted on troubling you. Look, I’m really sorry for making you run this trip for nothing. Once I get to school, I’ll definitely rely on you, senior, to look after me more."

"No worries, no worries, I’ll come find you once you get to school."

"Then, see you at school."

"See you at school."

Li Mingyu was about to leave when Yan Xixi called out to him, "Oh, senior, I brought you a little specialty gift."

Li Mingyu was pleasantly surprised, "A gift?"

Yan Xixi handed him two boxes, and upon looking, his eyes lit up, "Spicy sauce, my favorite. Thank you so much, Yan."

"I heard from Li Zhen that you really like it, so I brought some for you."

Li Mingyu was very happy, feeling that this classmate was not only pretty but also so courteous. Beautiful girls usually think that whatever a man does for them is deserved, so when has someone been so thoughtful and considerate?

He thought to himself: Li Zhen’s girlfriend is reliable. He wondered to himself how this boy got so lucky to find someone so nice.

After bidding Li Mingyu farewell, the phone promptly rang.

Li Zhen’s voice: "Yan Xixi, have you arrived?"

"Arrived safely."

"That reassures me. Did Li Mingyu meet you?"

"I saw him. Thank you, Li Zhen."

Li Zhen was very happy, "Thanks for what? It was nothing at all."

Yan Xixi smiled wryly, thinking that asking a stranger for help was anything but nothing. She thought, in the future, I should treat Li Mingyu to a meal as a thank you.

"You’re probably very unfamiliar with school now that you’ve just arrived, so if you need his help with anything, don’t hesitate."

"Don’t worry, I won’t be polite about it."

Li Zhen hesitated, "Yan Xixi... I’m about to head out... I really miss you... It’s strange, we just parted, and I already want to see you again..."

Yan Xixi’s heart thudded.

Poor Li Zhen, he’s practically a young boy just falling in love.

She suddenly became alert, thinking this won’t do if it goes on like this. That time they held hands, that time they hugged, he took it seriously—what to do about this???

"Yan Xixi, how about I come see you this Christmas?"

Christmas?

It’s already September now, Christmas isn’t far away.

Casual promises come at a cost.

She felt a little troubled, but still replied calmly, "Both of us have very tight schedules, and over these next two years, there’s no time to think of anything else. Let’s wait until we’ve finished our studies, okay?"

"I never said anything about these two years... Yan Xixi, I know all that... but, I can’t control myself..."

"..."

"Li Zhen, we’re both here to study, and this opportunity wasn’t easy to come by. If we waste these two years, I really wouldn’t be able to face my folks back home..."

"I’m not going to let it interfere with my studies, and I won’t let it affect yours either... Yan Xixi, I just want to... I just want to..."

He finally gathered courage, "Agree to be my girlfriend first."

"..."

Yan Xixi was almost dizzy.

The most terrifying thing is getting involved with a boy who’s fallen in love.

Look at the sorrows of young Werther, he ended up committing suicide.

On the contrary, people like Li Mingyu, who’ve been through hardships, are single-mindedly focused on achieving success, with absolutely no time for romance.

She straightforwardly replied, "How about this, let’s compete and see who gets better grades. The loser buys the winner a meal during the New Year..."
