A simple "thank you" is already a subtle rejection. If he keeps insisting, he might end up looking down upon himself!
He looked at Shi Nuan’s figure and smiled faintly.
Actually, he had been busy with his studies throughout the years at university and already received a postgraduate recomndation to a prestigious school in Beijing.
Before, he had noticed Shi Nuan, but she was quiet and didn’t interact much with others.
He had greeted her a few tis, and she only responded shallowly and indifferently.
Based on her reaction when he invited her to take photos just now, she wasn’t very familiar with him.
Probably, he was no different from the boys who had invited her to take photos before.
He thought, she might be a girl with stories, a girl who lives in her quiet world.
Such a girl probably doesn’t want to be disturbed.
On the day of her thesis defense, he was present, watched her entire defense process, and was truly amazed.
Before, he only thought the girl was quietly beautiful, but at that mont, he felt she was radiant.
He wanted to confess, to tell her about his feelings.
But after that defense, her visits to school beca infrequent.
He had no chance to see her again.
Until now, at the graduation photo shoot, he finally saw her again.
She was not as cold and quiet today; when taking group photos, she smiled faintly.
She appeared vibrant and even more beautiful, in a word, radiant.
Summoning the courage to confess, knowing ti was limited, being rejected was not unexpected.
No matter, during these four years at university, he had only focused on studies, feeling life’s monotony every day.
Now, at least in this monotony, he found a bit of beauty that he will rember for life.
And that is enough, really, it is enough.
...
Under a tree not far away, stood two people from afar.
Both wore baseball caps and simple T-shirts, the brims pressed low, hiding their faces.
They were just staring at the crowds taking endless photos on the lawn, when one spoke irritably: "I’m telling you, Shen Zui, I really don’t understand what’s so good about Shi Nuan that’s worth all your effort for her, especially when she’s with Song Yansheng now..."
"Don’t say things I don’t want to hear..." Shen Zui interrupted, his dark brows furrowed deeper, and said, "Besides, it’s not about what’s good or bad, it’s about willingness. I’m willing to do this for her, that’s all!"
Qi Ruison felt a headache: "But no matter how willing you are, it’s useless, right? You said it yourself, what you want most now is to improve your skills so one day you can compete with Song Yansheng. Since your goal is Song Yansheng, why do you still co to see Shi Nuan..."
Shen Zui glanced at him and asked: "I see my sister has no interest in you either, so why do you keep dwelling on her without changing your mind? He isui likes you, you’re not stupid, you should be able to see it!"
Qi Ruison choked up and couldn’t say a word.
Shen Zui turned away, continuing to watch Shi Nuan’s direction; she was still being pulled into group photos.
Today, she seed to be in a good mood, her lips always carrying a faint smile, responding to classmates, even male classmates’ photo requests, obligingly.
He really also wanted, wanted very much, to take a photo with Shi Nuan, the twenty-one-year-old Shi Nuan.
But he knew, it was impossible!
He turned his back, took out his phone, and smiled faintly at the lens, as Shi Nuan stood sideways from his shoulder direction.
With a "click," the image was captured!
