“According to the economics analysis, there’s going to be a big wave of proliferation of diamonds soon. I don’t think you’d like a necklace…”
Yi Juncheng fell silent. Although he had long guessed that he was overthinking, he still couldn’t help but think in the wrong direction.
“Is there something wrong?” Sheng Yang blinked. Her expression was exactly the same as when she had given him the headband.
Yi Juncheng sighed softly. It was a helpless yet sweet feeling.
He had no choice. He just had to fall in love with such an ignorant little girl.
He had put the ring on his finger long ago. He wore it firmly after being mistaken. He chuckled. “Nothing. I like it a lot.”
He bent down and gently pinched her soft cheek. “The rich girl bought me a ring.”
The two of them were almost touching their noses. This action was subtle and extremely ambiguous.
Caught off guard… Sheng Yang also experienced the feeling of her body being completely out of control by pure adrenaline. She tiptoed and pecked him on the nose before quickly turning way.
The move to get out of the way was instinctive. It was because in an instant, she could see the dark green glint of a predator in his eyes.
It had not been easy for her to seize the initiative. She didn’t want him to snatch back the lead as that would result in her loss!
By the lake and under the willow trees, the two of them strolled leisurely. The evening scenery was extremely beautiful.
At that moment, an old man in plain clothes suddenly staggered out and pointed at the lake while shouting, “Ah, my books fell into the lake!”
He looked very sad. There were a few students present, but none of them reached out to help.
If someone had fallen into the lake, they wouldn’t have hesitated. But if they were just books, it really wasn’t worth the risk of jumping into the lake.
Moreover, there was a legend about the lake at Imperial Capital University. It was said that a student had died here, so he became a ghost. Some students who accidentally fell in at night had died.
Although they were realistic people, it was better to be safe than sorry. Their lives were more important.
They even went to persuade the old man. “Grandpa, don’t go. What books are those? We’ll buy them for you.”
The old man said something in a string of words that left the students stunned. They couldn’t understand what language he was speaking.
However, Sheng Yang’s ears twitched. She was about to jump into the lake.
“Wait a minute.” Yi Juncheng quickly stopped her. He had understood the old man’s words as well. But looking at Sheng Yang’s agile and unhesitating attitude, he wondered which one she would save first if he and books that was out of print fell into the lake.
He didn’t dare think about it.
But as soon as this thought appeared, he was a little shocked. He had actually been reduced to competing with a inanimate object. How pathetic.
Sheng Yang glanced at Yi Juncheng, thinking he wouldn’t let her go. She was about to say something when she saw…
“Wait for me obediently.” Yi Juncheng’s voice was calm. He quickly took off his jacket and jumped. His well-built figure was like a nimble fish that sank to the bottom of the lake.
The other students were stunned. It had been a while since this old man dropped the books. Searching for them in the lake now would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. Who knew where the books had drifted to? Moreover, how could he find them in this huge lake?
