I naturally didn't dare to approach, clutching my book as I intended to head upstairs.
However, my roommate suddenly pushed me towards that seat. I was startled and immediately tried to get up and leave. Li Yunfan glanced up at me for a moment. Then, he continued to lower his head, flipping through a medical textbook. His fingers were long and his nails neatly trimmed as he turned the sunlit pages.
Such beauty was captivating. I sat there stiffly for a while before stammering, "S-senior, is there no one here?"
He shook his head and pulled a reference book closer to himself. My heart raced like a startled deer, and I hurriedly set my book down. But that day, I couldn't focus on a single page. I didn't want to be so pathetic as to keep staring at him, but it was impossible to control myself; he was too close. I could even see the shadow cast by his eyelashes.
I was so mesmerized that I didn't even realize how ridiculous I must have looked, lost in infatuation. What was even more absurd was that I actually fell asleep while watching him.
When he left, he woke me up with a gentle nudge and handed me a tissue. Groggily, I accepted it and noticed a hint of a smile in his eyes. He pointed at the corner of my mouth and then at the book under my arm, his voice clear and warm: "You might want to wipe that off; it's on the book too."
I felt the drool on my mouth, and my face instantly turned as red as a tomato.
After returning home, I felt dejected for a long time. I was so downcast that I couldn't bring myself to appear in front of him again. Later, he graduated. When they were taking graduation photos, my roommate and I passed by the playground. Many girls wanted to take pictures with him, but he turned them all down. I kept my head down and hurried away with my roommate, so I didn't hear him say, "Xia Lanlan, do you want to come over and take a picture with me..."
The next time we met was three years later. I was Ye Zheng's girlfriend, and he was Ye Zheng's cousin. In fact, they were somewhat distantly related. However, the Ye family had connections with the Li family, so they were very proactive and frequently interacted with each other.
That day, he only glanced at me at the beginning. He didn't say a word to me, and the atmosphere at the dinner table eventually turned awkwardly silent. I felt embarrassed, but Ye Zheng comforted me, saying, "My cousin is like that; he comes from a good family, is talented and good-looking, but he's quite arrogant and aloof."
But I didn't think so. He did have a somewhat cold demeanor, but he wasn't arrogant at all. His grades had always been top-notch, and at such a young age, he had become the youngest surgical expert in the hospital. I had seen how he treated his patients—polite, gentle, and incredibly patient—without any hint of arrogance or superiority. I had also been one of his patients.
I am well aware of how good he is.
The night before the engagement ceremony, Ye Zheng came to take me out for dinner. The Ye family's villa was brightly lit, but to me, the lights resembled the gaping maw of a fierce beast, ready to swallow me whole.
Ye Meng was also there, looking a bit better and dressed up for the occasion. She served me some soup and softly said, "Sister-in-law, you should drink more to nourish your body." Her shy smile made me realize that Ye Meng bore a slight resemblance to Tian Miaomiao from the Tian family.
Even more strangely, many of Ye Zheng's past partners shared some features with Ye Meng.
"That's right, Xia Lanlan, you need to eat more; you've lost weight again," Mother Ye remarked as she scrutinized me.
Ye Meng, who had not been feeling well, soon excused herself and returned to her room. After dinner, Mother Ye brought over a cup of tea. I stared at the tea and smiled faintly. Once it had cooled down enough, I drank it all in one go.
Both Mother Ye and Father Ye sighed in relief. Ye Zheng was playing on his phone; when he noticed me drinking the tea, his gaze flickered for a moment as if he wanted to say something but quickly returned to his game.
A chill settled in my heart.
"Ye Zheng, let's go for a walk."
