Fang Xi sighed in relief and forced a smile. “I’m quite silly, aren’t I?”

Ye Kun shook his head. It pained him to see Fang Xi like this. She was a passionate girl, so there was no way letting go of her past relationship was easy on her.

“Did you know the best way to heal from a failed relationship is to start another relationship?”

Fang Xi was stunned. She tilted her head and gave it a thought. Then, she smiled and nodded. “That makes sense. I’ll consider giving it a try.”

‘She didn’t understand what I was getting at!’ Ye Kun mentally wailed. He didn’t give up; he dragged the stool forward, looked into Fang Xi’s eyes, and solemnly stated, “Then, can you consider me for your boyfriend?”

Fang Xi was dumbfounded. “I can cook,” Ye Kun began to list his qualities. “I like small animals. I’m very good at taking care of people! I’m a little busy with work sometimes, but so long as conditions permit, I can be at your beck and call. Uh… I have a lot of good points; I do! I just can’t remember them when I’m nervous, but give me a chance. I’ll show you I’m a good boyfriend!”

Fang Xi couldn’t help but chuckle. Looking at the sincerity on this man’s face, she was really touched.

“Ye Kun, thank you!” she said sincerely.

Ye Kun shook his head. “No need to thank me. I just want to know if I have a chance.”

“I—I just broke up with someone,” Fang Xi explained.

“Yeah. You broke up with your ex, so now I can pursue you, right?” Ye Kun anxiously asked.

“But I liked someone else before!” Fang Xi tried once more to explain to him.

“I know that! But you don’t like him anymore, do you?” Ye Kun asked to confirm.

Fang Xi nodded slowly. “That’s right, I don’t like him anymore. But don’t you mind that I liked someone else before?”

Without waiting for Fang Xi to speak, Ye Kun counted off his previous crushes on his fingers, “When I was in kindergarten, I liked a beautiful girl in my class and wanted to marry her. However, she said she liked my buddy, so I had no choice but to stop liking her.”

“When I was in primary school, I liked my deskmate, but she said I was too short—she likes tall guys. When I was in junior high, I had just fallen in love with a classmate, but before I could confess, she announced with fanfare that she had fallen in love with the class monitor next door because the boy was handsome.”

“When I reached high school age, I grew taller and more handsome. However, I realized all the beautiful girls already had boyfriends. So I was left single because I didn’t like the girls who liked me, but the ones I liked didn’t return my feelings.” Ye Kun sighed sadly.

Fang Xi found it funny. “And then? What about university?”

Ye Kun scrubbed his face. “After getting into university, you would think I could finally have a nice relationship, wouldn’t you? Hmph, my dad retired early, and my brother took over. He worked me like a dog; I was busy with my studies and work at the same time. Where would I have found the time to fall in love? *Sigh*!”

Ye Kun suddenly cheered up. “But, maybe I was waiting for you! Perhaps Fate was working behind the scenes, keeping me from getting a relationship so I

would have the chance to meet you!”

Fang Xi facepalmed. This man’s sweet words were nice to hear but were also… a little ridiculous. She burst his bubble and said, “If that’s really the case, then shouldn’t I have also waited for you and not fallen in love with anyone else?”

“Nope! You got it wrong!” Ye Kun immediately retorted. He excitedly said, “You must fall in love once before you meet me, but it won’t be a successful relationship. That way, you can come to my side. Then, with a previous experience to make a comparison to, you’ll know how good a boyfriend I am! This way, you’ll happily be my girlfriend!”

“As for me? I hadn’t met anyone suitable—I was saving up my luck until I had enough to meet you! See? The two of us are fated to be together! We’re very compatible!”

Fang Xi laughed. If this man before her went out and yelled, “Is there anyone willing to be my girlfriend?” half the city’s unmarried young women would come to line up. Yet, here he was, clumsily trying to convince her they were fated.

She laughed and laughed, and then tears welled up in her eyes. “Ye Kun, are you serious about this?” Fang Xi asked.

“Yes!” Ye Kun nodded. “I’m very, very serious in pursuing you. From the first time—no, from the second time I saw you, I’ve been trying to woo you! Perhaps you have too many outstanding men around you, and I’m too stupid, so you haven’t noticed my feelings for you. But it’s okay; if you didn’t notice, I’ll just tell you directly and let you know.”

Ye Kun smiled sincerely. Fang Xi had never met a boy like him. He was as bright as the sun, but his brilliance was also blinding.

“You still don’t know me,” Fang Xi murmured.

“Give me a chance to be your boyfriend, and we can slowly get to know each other. We have a whole lifetime ahead of us; there’s no hurry. So… will you give me a chance?” Ye Kun was full of anticipation as he waited for her answer..
