Have you ever hated soone? Have you ever loved soone? Have you ever had a mix of both love and hate for soone?
To , Lin Yixun embodies exactly that—a very contradictory presence.
My first encounter with Lin Yixun, as far as I can rember, was at the centennial celebration of our alma mater.
At that ti, I had just founded a software developnt company. Within just a year, business was booming, and my na appeared on the invitation for our school’s centennial celebration. When I received the invitation, I initially didn’t plan to attend—after all, the company had just gotten on track and there were still many things waiting for to do.
However, perhaps it was fate, I ended up at the centennial celebration of my high school. My alma mater was the top high school in A City, and the celebration was grand. Though similar to other ceremonies—tedious and sowhat dull—the energy and vitality on the high school students’ faces added so liveliness to the otherwise monotonous event.
Midway through the celebration, I received a call from the company. A listed company was interested in our newly developed software and wanted to collaborate, urging to return to the company as soon as possible.
Thinking that the celebration was about to end anyway, I got up to leave. Just then, a girl’s voice called out from behind.
"Hi, long ti no see!"
I was slightly taken aback and instinctively looked her over. She was dressed formally, tall, but her baby face and youthful eyes revealed her age: she was probably just a high school student.
She had a bright smile on her face, her eyes forming crescent moons, brighter than the cold stars in the night sky. She greeted with surprise and joy, seeming genuinely happy.
But as far as I could rember, I didn’t know this person.
I glanced at her indifferently without saying a word, but curiosity piqued inside —I wondered what she would do next. However, her following actions slightly disappointed .
"So, you’ve forgotten . Fine, considering your unclear state of mind back then, I won’t hold it against you. My na is Lin Yixun. Don’t forget it again because... because it’s the na of your future girlfriend!"
Upon hearing this, I secretly sneered. Just another blind pursuer, it seed, but this ti with a novel approach.
I coldly scanned her once more. Do girls nowadays mature and beco so forward? A high schooler, at her first eting with a stranger, could she really be so forward?
Thinking about it, I felt a sense of repulsion and replied coldly, "Sorry, I already have a girlfriend."
"You can always change girlfriends."
"You’re not my type."
I was being truthful. I didn’t like overly forward girls, nor did I appreciate such impropriety.
I didn’t take what happened at the celebration seriously—it was just another tiny episode among countless others in life.
What I didn’t expect was that this chance encounter would turn my calm life upside down.
Though I had already started my own company by then, I continued to study at A University. For , work and study didn’t conflict—studying at A University actually promoted my current work. Efficient ti managent allowed to excel at both, and indeed I did well in both aspects.
I thought I could always balance work, study, and even love, but Lin Yixun turned out to be a variable in the equation. Her appearance completely disrupted everything.
After the school celebration, Lin Yixun sohow managed to dig up all my details. She knew the na of my software company, my ho address, my studies at A University, and even the nas of my departnt, dormitory, and roommates.
From then on, she frequently appeared in front of , and even if she had sothing to do, she would ask soone to bring things. In the month after our first eting, I received countless calls from the dormitory aunt, asking to co downstairs for packages.
It started with chocolates, then "love bento," then ani figurines, and eventually, weird and peculiar items started appearing—whether due to her wild imagination or not, I did not know.
I didn’t take it seriously, considering her just another overzealous pursuer who would eventually give up like the others after a while.
My dorm mates even placed bets on how long she would persist, thinking she wouldn’t last three months, while I thought she wouldn’t even last two. After all, she was just an immature high school girl acting on an impulsive whim. Once the enthusiasm faded, she would lose interest.
But we all underestimated her persistence.
In the three months that followed, co rain or shine, she showed up at A University daily, using all ans to get close to . In just three months, she even managed to gain the favor of my roommates, who willingly kept her inford about my whereabouts.
Soon, the entire departnt and even the whole of A University knew that the mayor’s cherished daughter was fervently pursuing .
Finally, I couldn’t bear it any longer and laid down the harsh truth, "It’s impossible between us."
"Why is it impossible? I think we’re quite a match. Look at , I don’t look bad, do I?"
"I already have a girlfriend."
"I know, but you haven’t married her. There’s nothing wrong with openly competing with her fairly, right?"
I found it laughable and retorted harshly, "With your attitude, you think you can compete with her? If you want to compete, get into A University first!"
Her face showed a hint of hurt, but after a mont of silence, she said, "Do you think I’m worthless apart from my looks?"
"Isn’t that the case?" I smirked sarcastically, turning away coldly.
As I turned away, I heard her stubborn and determined voice,
"Fine, let’s see about that! Leng Yixiu, just you wait! I will get into A University. Not only will I get in, but I’ll also enter your Computer Science departnt. Just wait and see!"
I didn’t take her words seriously at the ti. If a spoiled, lazy girl like her could get into A University, pigs might as well fly.
After that, Lin Yixun didn’t appear in my sight for more than half a year. It was as if she had vanished into thin air, coming suddenly and disappearing just as abruptly.
I thought she had finally given up, and gradually, I forgot about her. Until I saw her confident and proud figure at the freshman orientation ceremony.
The mont I saw her, she noticed as well and greeted with a smile, "Hi, Senior Brother Leng, long ti no see."
