Chapter 816: Chapter 798: He Actually Likes Sangzhi! (Part 1)
Wei Zixuan was woken up because she really had to pee, otherwise, she could have slept for another three or four hours.
When she got up to pee, she discovered that Minal from the other bed was missing...
Wei Zixuan, unhurried and untroubled, lazily collapsed back onto her bed.
After lying there for several minutes, she called Pu Sangzhi to share the situation with someone.
Pu Sangzhi was also woken from her sleep by the call...
But hearing the news, Pu Sangzhi didn’t take it as a big deal either. Still half-asleep, she let out a yawn.
After coming to her senses, she said, "She shouldn’t get lost, she’s a grown woman."
"You think so too, huh..."
Wei Zixuan wrapped herself in her quilt, forming a cocoon, sighed, and said, "We’re all adults, she’s not going to wander around aimlessly. Let’s not worry about her and just sleep..."
"Then why did you call me..."
Pu Sangzhi rubbed her nose in exasperation and sighed.
"I felt uneasy just ignoring it, so I wanted to ask you. Seeing you think the same way, I’m relieved."
Wei Zixuan tugged at the corners of her mouth, a content smile on her face, "Let’s continue sleeping then."
Pu Sangzhi: "Mmm..."
Thus, the call ended.
Pu Sangzhi placed her phone on the bedside table, rolled over, and was once again pulled into an embrace by Huo Feng.
In Huo Feng’s arms, she fell back into sleep.
Minal’s disappearance seemed like a dream discussion between her and Wei Zixuan.
...
However, Minal’s departure was indeed real.
At five in the morning, Minal sat hugging her knees under Ye Xi’s dormitory building waiting.
She had been waiting for an hour.
She had arrived at four o’clock.
Sitting and waiting...
During this waiting period, she even encountered students jogging at night, and Minal admired these seniors.
It seemed like she remembered having followed a senior from Tsinghua on Bilibili.
His daily routine was to sleep at 10 PM, wake up at 3 AM to jog, and while others slept in the early morning, he studied...
On Bilibili, he was referred to as the ’King of Conquest.’
Because he did say, at Tsinghua, if you don’t strictly discipline yourself and work hard, how can you conquer the world?
So...
Coming at this time, encountering such seniors, Minal’s heartbreak from a recent breakup gradually subsided, replaced by an enthusiastic resolve to learn, coursing through her veins.
Minal waited like this, waiting...
At five fifteen, Ye Xi, wearing a dark blue tracksuit, also came out for a run.
As soon as he came out, Minal noticed him. Conversely, Ye Xi also saw the stubborn girl sitting on the steps...
Facing Minal’s gaze, for a moment, Ye Xi thought of his sister, Ye Qingcao.
He had watched his sister obsessively like a boy as if driven by madness...
For years...
Just a one-sided crush.
She didn’t even care about reciprocation, nor was it clear what that boy felt about her.
Ye Xi had seen to what extent girls could be foolish, which was why he rejected Minal without reservation.
He always thought he had rejected her very directly.
But he hadn’t expected, the extent of a girl’s foolishness had no limits.
Ye Xi let out a light sigh.
In the end, he jogged over to Minal...
As he passed her, Ye Xi simply said, "I’m going for a morning jog."
"I... I, I’ll join..."
Minal didn’t know what to say, anyway, she decided to follow him first!
So, Minal painstakingly kept up with Ye Xi, panting heavily, and ran with him to Purple Field.
While Ye Xi ran lap after lap, she stood on the side panting, resting.
There’s no way...
She had drunk too much last night, didn’t get enough sleep, and plus, her physical strength wasn’t good to begin with.
So, keeping up with his pace for a morning jog was quite difficult...
However, during this waiting time, Minal didn’t waste it.
She secretly thought, calculated, and prepared what she wanted to say to him later.
Admittedly, she really didn’t know what to say when she came.
Ye Xi finished running ten laps in the morning.
In fact, it was 9 laps of running and 1 lap of walking.
As he slowed down for that lap, Minal seized the chance to catch up...
Originally, she found it incredibly hard to find the words to say to Ye Xi.
But unexpectedly, Ye Xi spoke first, "What I said before, about having someone I like, wasn’t a lie."
"I, I, I know..."
Minal replied nervously and awkwardly.
After replying, she was aware that another rejection was coming next.
However, this time, even if it was a rejection, she had to listen!
She had to listen carefully!
Listening, she might finally be willing to give up!
"There’s a girl in my heart. During my adolescence, she already took residence in my heart. Over the years, she has settled in more and more firmly, occupying my whole heart completely."
Ye Xi slowly said.
```
In the gentle breeze on the sports field, his face, slightly flushed from exercise, seemed almost overflowing with gentleness.
Minal turned her head to look at his profile, that handsome and cultured side face, but the more she looked, the sadder she felt...
"Then, why don’t you get together with her?" Minal asked cautiously.
She felt that perhaps the hurt wasn’t enough yet.
So, she dared to ask such a question.
Let the storm rage on!
"Because I can’t," Ye Xi replied.
Because he was one step too late...
Or perhaps several steps too late.
More likely, he lacked the time that should never have been missing.
During the most difficult times for her family, it wasn’t him by her side.
But Huo Feng, the one who was the same age as her, equally powerless, yet wholeheartedly protected her.
Ye Xi lost to Huo Feng without any resentment.
There was only a vague sense of unwillingness...
That was unwillingness against fate.
Because fate didn’t give him the chance to care for her.
"Then, why can’t you?" Minal asked again.
"Because she has a boyfriend... she really likes her boyfriend," Ye Xi said slowly.
"Ah..."
Minal let out this sound.
She originally wanted to hear something that would let her give up and lose hope.
But with these words, Minal felt her hope rekindling!
It shouldn’t be said like this!
"Then... since she already has a boyfriend, you should give up..." Minal said.
"I can’t give up."
Ye Xi said, "I never thought of giving up, nor do I plan to. I can remain single until..."
"Until what?" Minal asked.
Ye Xi took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "Until there’s an opportunity. Or until someone appears who bears seventy percent resemblance to her."
"Ah..."
Minal seemed to understand his meaning, yet she somewhat didn’t.
Does an opportunity mean he wants to wait for the couple to have issues, and then intervene?
Seventy percent resemblance...
Does it refer to a girl who looks a lot like the one in his heart?
Is this what he means?
"Then, what type is she? How much do I resemble her?" Minal asked with some anticipation.
"Zero." Ye Xi replied bluntly.
Minal: "..."
Immediately feeling a wave of blow!
"You resemble my sister, by seventy percent."
Ye Xi added, "So when I see you, I only think of my sister. There’s no other feeling."
Minal: "..."
Is this why she doesn’t stand a chance?!
It’s just too sad!
"Then what is the personality and appearance of the girl you like?" Minal couldn’t help asking.
"Want to know?" Ye Xi glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.
Meeting his eyes, Minal felt a bit nervous yet very expectant, nodding her head eagerly!
Only to see, Ye Xi’s thin lips opened slightly, firmly uttering two words, "Sangzhi."
"Oh... so you like someone like Sangzhi."
Minal nodded unsurprised.
A few seconds later...
"Ah!"
Minal couldn’t help but open her mouth wide, staring with her eyes full of horror, with an expression of ’what absurd words have I heard!’
"You like Sangzhi! You, you... the one in your heart is..."
Minal was so shocked her words were all jumbled!
Though her words were not clear, her heart was as bright and clear as a mirror!
He actually likes Sangzhi! Has liked her for so many years!
No wonder...
Her demeanor and Sangzhi’s are worlds apart!
If he likes Sangzhi, he indeed wouldn’t be attracted to someone with Minal’s personality!
Oh my...
"Don’t tell her."
Ye Xi, appearing unperturbed, looked at her with incredibly calm eyes, "I won’t step into her and Huo Feng’s relationship. But I might wait for another shadow resembling her to appear in the world. But it won’t be you."
"Oh... oh oh..."
Minal nodded numbly.
At that moment, her brain felt swollen!
Felt she might go dumb...
Really might go dumb!
It turns out to be such a situation!
