Li Yiran had actually been waiting for Zhang Jingdong to contact her.
Since her grandmother was discharged from the hospital, the two had hardly been in touch.
Li Yiran knew that Zhang Jingdong was not contacting her to let her focus on her studies.
But over the past few days, she had been feeling a bit anxious, not because of her studies, but because she was contemplating a very important decision— whether she should go all out to apply to Huaqing University.
If she hadn’t met Zhang Jingdong, she definitely wouldn’t be thinking about this. After all, her dream had always been to get into Huaqing University.
But now, because of Zhang Jingdong, she was beginning to waver.
If she got into Huaqing University, she would have to go to Yanjing, and by then, she and Zhang Jingdong would be thousands of miles apart.
She feared that the physical distance might cause their relationship to gradually fade.
It’s not that she doubted her feelings for Zhang Jingdong; she feared that Zhang Jingdong might gradually forget about her.
After all, his career was becoming more successful, and he was getting busier, and she wasn’t the only woman in his life. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NoveIꜰire.net
If she was away from him for a long time, and if he didn’t have the time to visit her, the position she held in his heart might gradually move further back over time and distance.
However, if she chose a local university in Jiangdu, like West University where he was, she could not only become his junior in school but also have more opportunities to see him.
But she didn’t dare to decide this immediately because she felt that Zhang Jingdong might not want her to do so. She wanted to ask for his opinion, hoping he could help her make the decision.
Today was the day before the college entrance exams, and since the morning, she inexplicably felt that Zhang Jingdong would contact her today.
But after waiting for a whole day without receiving his call or message, she had to convince herself that he must be very busy, and he might have even forgotten that today was the day before the college entrance exams.
Yet she still kept her eyes on the phone on the table.
Just as she was beginning to lose hope, the phone screen suddenly lit up.
She hurriedly picked it up and took a glance.
Seeing that it was indeed Zhang Jingdong, her previously dim eyes instantly sparkled with excitement.
She quickly replied: Yes, I’m at home. Where are you?
Zhang Jingdong: I’ll be at your alley entrance in ten minutes. Come out for a bit, I have something to tell you.
After sending the message, Li Yiran immediately got up and went to the mirror.
She first changed into a designer dress that Zhang Jingdong had bought her before, combed her hair, and then left the room.
"Grandma, I’m going out for a bit, I’ll be right back!"
Her grandmother heard the excitement in Li Yiran’s voice and immediately felt relieved.
Li Yiran walked out of the house and quickly arrived at the alley entrance, keeping her eyes on the vehicles passing by.
Before long, a taxi slowly pulled up not far away.
The door opened, and out came a man.
Upon confirming it was Zhang Jingdong, Li Yiran immediately approached him with a face full of delight.
It was early evening, and the air was less stifling and more refreshing.
Zhang Jingdong hadn’t seen Li Yiran for a while, and now he noticed her hair had grown longer, her eyes were even brighter, and even her figure seemed more impressive!
Of course, the most significant point was still her status as the high school beauty, and her face, which completely outshined all those so-called campus beauties Zhang Jingdong had seen in his previous life on the internet.
Zhang Jingdong noticed the longing and shyness in Li Yiran’s eyes, and couldn’t help teasing her: "You haven’t sent me a single message all this time. Could it be that you’ve forgotten your boyfriend?"
Li Yiran didn’t expect him to say that, nor was she like Zhang Jingdong’s other women, who could immediately tell he was joking.
Her pretty face turned a little apologetic: "No, I... I was afraid you were busy, I..."
Zhang Jingdong, seeing her innocence, dared not tease her anymore.
He stepped forward and put his arm around her delicate shoulder: "You took it seriously, I was just joking."
Li Yiran suddenly realized, giving Zhang Jingdong a slight sideways glance.
Zhang Jingdong really liked how she looked right then, and couldn’t help but give her a quick kiss.
Li Yiran instinctively glanced around, and then, with a mix of shyness and joy, leaned into Zhang Jingdong’s arms.
The two snuggled by the roadside for a while, and then Zhang Jingdong said: "Are you hungry? Let’s go to Xiangman Building, it’ll only take an hour at most, how about that?"
Li Yiran was very pleased that Zhang Jingdong was concerned about not wasting her study time and yet was eager to spend more time with her.
So she joyfully said: "It’s okay, I’m ready, and... I have something to discuss with you in a bit?"
"Oh? Do you? You look so serious, it seems like something big?"
Here, he couldn’t help teasing her again: "You’re not thinking of breaking up with me because you’re going to go to university in Yanjing, are you? I solemnly declare I will never agree to that!"
Li Yiran immediately stopped, uncharacteristically pouting: "Of course not, I... I will never break up with you in this lifetime, unless you... you don’t want me."
Zhang Jingdong burst out laughing: "Don’t worry, I’ve been blessed over several lifetimes to finally find a high school beauty girlfriend like you. Of course, I won’t break up with you, I’ll stick with you for life!"
Hearing this, a sweet smile instantly spread across Li Yiran’s once serious face.
