After all, he wasn’t counting on studying to make money; compared to the vast estate of Huanyu Group, he could definitely afford the cost of his education.
"I heard that you started off with a different major, but why did you choose to study music later on?"
Why indeed? Yu Zexiao’s brow furrowed slightly. Although it was only after seeing that girl in Vienna’s Golden Hall that he became resolute in pursuing a path in music, he had been fond of music from the start. The girl’s appearance was merely a stimulus.
"Because of someone," he thought for a moment before answering.
"Someone?" Jian Anning became curious, "Who is it?"
"I don’t know," Yu Zexiao shook his head. To this day, he still regretted not having spoken to that girl back then. Not having confessed his feelings to her at that moment.
"You don’t know?" Jian Anning was now even more curious, finding it hard to believe that the imperiously unapproachable Yu Zexiao would show a look of confusion and anticipation in his eyes when she asked about that person! However, this expression was fleeting and quickly vanished.
After a pause, she asked again, "Then, have you ever been in love with someone?"
Yu Zexiao looked at her, his EQ might be low, but not so low as to divulge the girl who was in the depths of his heart. After all—his relationship with Jian Anning was, by now, considered confirmed.
So he nodded: "Half a person."
"Really?" Jian Anning felt somewhat upset upon hearing this. A hard-to-describe sourness rushed into her mind, "What kind of woman is she?"
She remembered Yu Zexiao mentioning that it wasn’t his first time with her.
So, was it his first woman that left him with such an indelible memory?
For some reason, just the thought of other women having been with him made her heart feel sour and numb. She knew well that living in Canada, where the social atmosphere was open, men and women could do as they pleased before marriage. Yu Zexiao had studied in the United States and naturally—might have been with women before.
If it were someone else, like the former Lu Jiayuan or the current Situ Xuan, if she truly dated them, she would mind a bit about the number of women they had been with before meeting her, but it wouldn’t make her feel uncomfortable.
But Yu Zexiao was different.
The more fastidious he was, the more disdainful he seemed toward other women, the more it proved that he must have really liked that previous woman. Otherwise, with his fastidiousness, how could he have gotten involved with her? It was as if a pristine snowy field was forcefully marred by someone else’s footprints, causing her to feel all sorts of displeasure!
Yu Zexiao glanced at her, clearly noticing a hint of anger and disappointment in her eyes, and he found it amusing: "What do you think?"
"I..." How would Jian Anning know what kind of woman she was? She said with a tinge of jealousy, "Is she very beautiful?"
Yu Zexiao looked at her. Hmm, how to put it; Jian Anning wasn’t a great beauty, but she was also quietly elegant and delicate. Especially her eyes, they were like two deep pools that unwittingly captured his gaze!
