The little girl was truly a picture of frustration, this man didnât know what was good for him.
Li Beiting, holding his arm, strode toward his car.
His Maserati was parked not far away; he opened the car door, started the vehicle, and left the institute.
The girls at the institute watched with wide eyes from start to finish â who was this man?
Could it be that this man was their directorâs boyfriend?
His arm was injured; it seemed things had been intense in the car just now.
The girls were the biggest gossips, conjuring up a bunch of scenarios in their heads.
âHey hey, what do you think, could that man be our directorâs boyfriend?â
âI donât know, Iâve never seen him before, looks like our director has been keeping him under wraps.â
âThat man is quite handsome, and tall, he matches our director pretty well.â
âNot just handsome, oh! A Maserati! He must be rich, right?!â
âJust look at him, a bona fide tall, rich, and handsome guy!â
âHaha, if he really is our directorâs boyfriend, we gotta extort them good when they get married.â
âBut it looks like things werenât too harmonious between them in the car just now.â
âOur institute isnât for nothing, discord? Come to Sunshine Institute!â
The girls stood under the sun, chatting up a storm without feeling the heat.
Under the sunshine, Li Beitingâs red Maserati was particularly dazzling, like a red arrow speeding forward!
He wiped the wound on his arm and then drove directly in the direction where Yu Weiweiâs car had disappeared!
He had to see her today, there were things he wanted to tell her properly.
They lived under the same cityâs sky; itâs been three whole years since he had seen her.
He opened the Maseratiâs convertible top, with the summer wind howling past his ears.
He squinted his eyes, not caring how scorching the sun was; he kept chasing the white figure amidst the traffic.
His mind was filled with images of Yu Weiwei, especially that last time, when they broke up.
He remembered it clearly, the breakup was also in the summertimeâ¦
Only back then, the sun wasnât as burning, the trees werenât as lush, it was early summer when everything was just beginning to stir.
The early summer in the campus was exceptionally beautiful; the crabapple flowers had just recently wilted, and gardenias exuded a charming fragrance.
The university campus was dotted with students everywhere; some were studying by the lake, some were chatting in pavilions, and others were sunbathing on the grass.
The less trodden paths were littered with petals and leaves, making a âcreak, creakâ sound when stepped on.
That day, it was just evening, and the sunset glow shone on the back mountain of Yu Weiweiâs school.
It bathed everything in a layer of gold, as if it were fall.
That evening, he drove his car to her school again.
Yu Weiwei was sitting on a stone at the foot of the mountain, revising her work, engrossed in reciting and taking notes.
The sunset draped her body and turned her light blue dress golden yellow.
When she studied, she was very focused, not even noticing Li Beitingâs approach.
Not far from the stone, there was a gardenia tree, its fragrance pleasing to the senses; the wind carried its scent over, even infusing the stone with its fragrance.
Yu Weiwei was reciting while holding a pen, doodling in her book.
As she read, Li Beiting came over with a frosty face.
He snatched the book from her hands and took it in his own.
âHey, what are you doing?â Yu Weiwei, seeing it was Li Beiting, was quite angry.
âGive me back my book!â Yu Weiwei stood up and reached out to grab the book from Li Beitingâs hand!
Just now when he snatched it away, the notes that were stuffed in the book fell out, scattering all over the ground.
The wind blew, some even flew into the river!
Yu Weiwei was very unhappy.
Li Beiting was much taller than Yu Weiwei, he held the book, and she simply couldnât snatch it back.
âYou seem pretty focused.â Li Beiting did not look too pleased.
The warm yellow of the sunset fell on his face, but it couldnât warm up his stern expression.
These five words, if spoken by someone else, would be considered praise, but from Li Beitingâs mouth, they had a different taste.
He glanced at the cover of the book, and there it was again, the specialized medical book.
Yu Weiwei was looking at a page that Li Beiting also glanced at; it contained images that made oneâs cheeks burn with blush.
âI still have to study, Li Beiting! Give me the book back! We have an exam for our major soon!â Yu Weiwei struggled to get it back.
âWhatâs so great about this stuff!â
Li Beitingâs attitude was not good, his face ashen as he tightly clutched Yu Weiweiâs textbook.
Yu Weiweiâs sticky notes also fell from the book, and she was so angry that her face turned pale.
She quickly bent down to pick up the notes on the ground, but she had made so many notes that she couldnât gather them as the wind scattered them.
Her blue dress trailed on the grass, not caring if the ground was dirty or not, she kept bending over to pick them up.
She had worked hard on these notes, how could Li Beiting do this!
Angry, annoyed, fuming with rage!
Some of the notes were blown into the river, and Yu Weiwei leaned over, trying to reach them.
She stretched out her arm, but still couldnât reach.
She almost slipped into the water.
Luckily, she held onto the railing by the water. But seeing her painstaking notes fall into the water, her heart ached.
Seeing her like this, Li Beiting seemed even more displeased, his face growing colder.
âWhatâs so great about it!â Li Beiting emphasized again, pulling her back!
âLi Beiting, Iâm telling you, donât be unreasonable! This is for my major, and I have an exam!â
Yu Weiwei stood in front of him, sternly warning him.
Sheâs not one to be pushed around, how could she let Li Beiting control her.
They had just had a fight a few days ago, and now, Li Beiting was here again!
âWhat crappy major, youâre coming with me to the administrative office to change it right now!â Li Beiting grabbed her hand, very angry.
âImpossible! Li Beiting, weâve fought over this so many times. Iâm telling you, itâs not happening! Not happening!â
âNot possible, is it?â
Li Beiting, out of anger, threw Yu Weiweiâs book into the river!
The pages arched through the sky, tracing a curve, and landed precisely in the middle of the water.
With a âplop,â the thick professional textbook hit the water and was completely submerged.
Birds at the waterâs edge, startled, flew up to the sky, leaving the surroundings suddenly quiet.
After the quiet, came Yu Weiweiâs outburst!
She dashed to the edge of the railing, trying to reach for her professional book.
Unable to reach it, she was almost ready to jump into the river.
Li Beiting restrained her, grabbing her dress and carrying her to safety!
âYu Weiwei, have you gone mad? Itâs just a damn book, are you throwing your life away?!â
âLi Beiting, this isnât over between us! You go fetch my book back, get it now!â
