She took a deep breath and retracted her intense gaze.
She didnât know what was wrong with her but ever since she met him, she found it harder and harder to control her emotions.
She looked at the unfinished steak in her plate, cut another piece, and stuffed it into her mouth.
âXiyanâ¦â Yang Jing could tell that her friend was infatuated with that man. âLet me tell you something. A man as handsome as he is would have many admirers and even I must admit that Iâve taken a liking to him myself. However, you shouldnât try to court him because it will make you look cheap,â she added.
He Xiyan smiled awkwardly at Yang Jingâs words and stuffed another piece of steak into her mouth.
Nonetheless, she couldnât control herself and would turn to sneak looks in his direction.
He was clad in a black tweed jacket and black pants which made him look more mature than his age. His outfit made him look cool and aloof.
She guessed that his gentlemanly and elegant air probably stemmed from his good upbringing.
A small smile danced on her lips as she let her imagination run wild.
Yang Jing clocked her expression and her actions.
She felt speechless as she looked at her friend who seemed so utterly infatuated that she was probably not going to be able to pull herself out of it at all.
âXiyan, letâs finish up soon. Weâve got classes in the afternoon,â Yang Jing reminded her.
He Xiyan mechanically stuffed food into her mouth but the steak seemed tasteless to her.
âJing Jingâ¦â she sat as she suddenly looked up at her friend, a faint blush staining her cheeks. She paused for a moment before she said, âHis name is Mo Yixuan and heâs our senior from the business school.â
âOh!â Yang Jing froze for a brief moment. She hadnât expected He Xiyan who had been so unwilling to speak earlier to suddenly introduce the handsome man to her. She listened intently to her friend. After all, every girl would have a soft spot for handsome men and she was no different.
âHe is very outstanding and used to study at Harvard. He had only transferred to our campus the year before but I donât know whatâs the reason behind this transfer,â He Xiyan told her friend all she knew about this man.
Yang Jing laughed awkwardly.
âHe sounds amazing. Do you like him?â
He Xiyan nodded without a secondâs hesitation this time.
âYesâ¦â she said as she bit her lips. It was love at first sight for me and I canât explain it myself, but I immediately took out my drawing materials and sketched his face,â she said. Then, she took a deep breath and blushed furiously.
Yang Jing shrugged and looked at He Xiyan in astonishment.
No way! She would have never imagined that He Xiyan was the sort of person who would experience love at first sight. She had always thought that all He Xiyan cared about were her studies and ways to make money.
âDonât tell me youâre planning to court him?â Yang Jing exclaimed in surprise.
If she were to be in He Xiyanâs shoes, she would never take the initiative to court a man and would only admire him from afar. She didnât think a relationship would last if the girl made the first move.
He Xiyan looked up at the ceiling and her eyes shone with an innocence and boldness that only young women would have.
She thought for a moment before she finally nodded.
âIâd like to give it a shot because I donât want to live with regrets!â
Yang Jing didnât know how to react.
