If I Have You, What More Could I Ask For In This Life? - Chapter 10.3
Translated by: Cherry
Yisheng paid He Jin for the chocolate but did not give an explanation, she just said that she had eaten it. He Jin wanted the exact reason and asked her why she wanted to eat the gift he had bought for others. Yisheng randomly answered, “I like to eat chocolate the most, and looking at the chocolate made my mouth water so I could not help eating it.”
Her answer seemed quite reasonable to Yisheng, but He Jin did not think so. He stared at Yisheng for a very long time and finally said, “Did you fall in love with me?”
“…” She was confused.
“You must not want Lin Ruohan to get together with me because of the chocolates and so you…” He Jin could not go on. Yisheng had already guessed what he wanted to say and suddenly felt like lightning had struck her.
She lay on the table and pretended to be dead!
After class, He Jin left his seat. When the bell rang, he came back, looking sad. His dejected appearance caused Yisheng to feel some pity for him and she asked, “Bro, are you lovelorn or did you drop the money I just gave you into the toilet?”
He Jin looked at Yisheng, his expression bitter, “Yisheng, how can you treat me so well?”
“…” What did she do this time? And why did he need to be so depressed about her treating him well?
“Why did you need to trick me? The chocolate was not eaten by you but Song Anchen!” He Jin’s expression was sad again and he had an expression that said ‘Bring the tofu to me, I want to hit my head against it’.
Yisheng trembled. She did not expect that this incident would be exposed, she muttered, “Actually… actually…”
“Ah!” He Jin patted Yisheng on her shoulder, “You gave the chocolate to Lin Ruohan, but Lin Ruohan gave it to Song Anchen, this… this makes me completely embarrassed.”
“Ah?” Yisheng opened her mouth.
“You care for me, and you were worried that I would be sad, so you lied and said that you ate it. Yisheng, I’m so touched, really!” He Jin suddenly pretended to cry with tears and a runny nose. He even wanted to place his head on her shoulder and Yisheng quickly shrugged her shoulders, moving his head away. However, he continued to act weak and even said, “You’re so concerned about me, and I got my heart broken today. Alright, let’s get together!”
The corner of Yisheng’s lips twitched, “You’re overthinking things!”
“That’s true, we should try going on a date first. But we’ve been quite busy with our studies lately, let’s choose a date first. How about the first Sunday after the monthly exams?”
“I have something on that day.”
“With whom?” His expression was suddenly overcast.
Yisheng directly rolled her eyes at him, “I’m not telling you.”
He Jin rested his head on his hand and looked at her up and down for a long time. Yisheng felt goosebumps from him looking at her so intently. She glanced at him, “What are you looking at?”
“I was thinking, besides for me, who else would want you? Besides for your chest having a little bump, everywhere else is a horizontal line.”
Yisheng stretched out her five fingers and exaggeratedly curled them into a fist, glaring at him angrily, as if telling him that if he said one more word, she would not spare him. He Jin chuckled and leaned closer to her, “Look at how we have such a fated we are, your ex-boyfriend got together with my ex-girlfriend, how about we make do and get together as well.”
“I can’t be bothered with you,” Yisheng turned her head and sat properly, waiting for class to begin.
“I know that you’re acting like this because you’re shy, don’t worry, I’ll wait for you to open up.”
Yisheng ignored him and continued to lower her head and wait for class to start.
***
After the first monthly examination, Yisheng’s grades improved again. It was her first time entering the top fifteen in class. She tied with Lin Ruohan for fourteenth place. For this monthly exam, the teacher specially called out for the top fifteen students to talk to them separately. This was the treatment of top students, and Yisheng managed to enjoy this treatment due to her sudden breakthrough.
In their form teacher’s office, the students surrounded a table and listened to their teacher talk.
“As we are a top school, the top ten in the class can normally get into a very good school, and the tenth place to the fifteenth place can work hard and might be able to get into a very good school as well. I asked all of you to come here today so that I can find out what your goals are?”
She started with Song Anchen, who was in the first place. He thought for a moment and said the best school in B City in terms of their economics and trade major. He Jin was fifth place in class, and he wanted to go overseas to study for an MBA. When it was Lin Ruohan and Yisheng’s turns, Lin Ruohan rushed to answer, her answer was the same as Song Anchen, she wanted to study economics and trade. Yisheng’s goal was A Medical University, she had been unwavering in her goal this whole time.
When one had a goal, they would naturally have the motivation to strive to achieve their goal.
On Sunday, Song Anchen gave her a phone call, asking her to play indoor basketball at the gymnasium. It was sunny that day, and the scorching sun of early March was shining on their recently warmed-up city. She had thought that today would definitely be a happy day. There was the sun, there was exercise, there was warmth, and there was Song Anchen, that she had longed for.
But God blinked amongst the clouds and gave a slight frown. This was the beginning of the moment that Ye Yisheng’s life changed. Heaven and Hell connected at that moment…
