Chapter 1282 - 1282 Are You Free on Christmas?

1282 Are You Free on Christmas?

When Yan Tian heard this, he couldn’t help but open his mouth. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

After a while, he slowly said, “If you had such perseverance in your studies, you would have long been admitted to Capital University!”

“Are you serious?” Gao Yang asked with a solemn expression because he could feel that Lin Yi was not joking.

Lin Yi nodded hard, his expression exceptionally firm. “I’m not hot-headed or unwilling. This results from my consideration for the entire morning.”

“I really think that if I give up like this, I’ll regret it in the future.”

!!

Yan Tian frowned and looked at Lin Yi with uncertainty. “How confident are you to woo Jian Ai? Do you think she will agree to you in the future?”

Lin Yi chuckled and shook his head. “I don’t know! I’m not sure!”

“Ah?” Yan Tian’s expression collapsed, and he pursed his lips. “Then why are you wasting your energy? You only have three to five years of youth. Are you willing to waste it on Jian Ai?”

“I think Jian Ai is right.” Lin Yi looked up at Yan Tian and Gao Yang. His originally dispirited eyes were exceptionally bright. “She told me this morning that feelings are emotional, not rational. If you have to be overcautious when liking someone, that kind of liking is not pure at all.”

“Jian Ai said that it’s my business if I like her, so she won’t stop me. Similarly, it’s her business if she rejects me. We all have the right to choose. There’s no contradiction.”

“Even if I’ll be rejected once, twice, or even countless times in the future, I can accept it calmly.”

Lin Yi spoke exceptionally sincerely because that was what he thought. As long as he still liked Jian Ai, he wouldn’t give up. This was his right.

As long as Jian Ai didn’t like him, she had the right to refuse. This was very fair.

Yan Tian couldn’t help but turn to look at Gao Yang and sigh helplessly. “Look, he can even say such words!”

He knew he would still face rejection, but he still rushed up. Wasn’t this sending himself up to be hurt for no reason?

Gao Yang didn’t support or object to Lin Yi’s pa.s.sionate words. However, he thought in a more comprehensive manner, so he couldn’t help but remind him, “Lin Yi, what you’re doing might bring unnecessary pressure to Jian Ai. Do you know that?”

“I know.” Lin Yi smiled. “Jian Ai said today that I changed myself because of her, making her feel guilty. I have considered it. When facing her, I seem to have changed quite a bit. I’m like another person.”

“But I’ll change. I’ll try my best to know my limits about my feelings for her and not cause her trouble.”

Seeing that Lin Yi had thought of this but still insisted, Gao Yang knew he had already made up his mind.

Even so, it was useless for others to say anything. Gao Yang nodded. “Alright, in the end, we still have to follow our hearts with relations.h.i.+ps. Since you think so, Yan Tian and I won’t say anything else.”

Yan Tian also leaned back in his chair and nodded. “To be honest, all of us hope that you and Jian Ai can be together, but we can’t force this matter. Don’t get too obsessed with it. Take your time to pursue her. Didn’t you want to get into Capital University with Jian Ai? If you can’t woo her in high school, go to university and pursue her until she agrees or until you don’t like her!”

Lin Yi chuckled and sighed at his two friends. “In short, let me be willful and selfish this time. I can’t let it go!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi couldn’t help but look up at where they used to sit together. The afternoon sun shone in through the floor-to-ceiling window. Jian Ai was sitting on a chair, and her gaze was on the field. Her figure was filled with indescribable melancholy.

Lin Yi pursed his thin lips, and his eyes flickered. At this moment, just looking at Jian Ai’s back, he seemed to feel exceptionally satisfied.

Jian Ai ate nothing at noon. After returning to the cla.s.sroom from the cafeteria, she continued to be in a daze. It was as if she was even more affected after saying those words to Lin Yi.

However, not long after she sat down, a cla.s.smate came in and shouted at Jian Ai, “Jian Ai, someone is looking for you!”

Jian Ai came back to her senses and looked at the cla.s.sroom door. Jian Yichen was standing under the window in a black down jacket and dark blue jeans. Seeing Jian Ai’s gaze, Jian Yichen’s iceberg face softened, and he waved his hand gently.

Seeing this, Jian Ai stood up and walked out quickly. The students in the cla.s.s couldn’t help but look at her curiously.

“I came to look for you once this morning. Your cla.s.smate said that you weren’t here yet,” Jian Yichen said as soon as they met.

Jian Ai softened her expression and nodded with a smile. “A cla.s.smate told me. Why are you looking for me?”

“Ah…”

Jian Yichen pursed his lips, and there was obvious discomfort on his handsome face. Jian Ai had never seen him show such an expression before. She couldn’t help but blink curiously, but she didn’t ask further. She was just waiting for him to say it.

After a while, Jian Yichen said, “It’s Christmas today. Are you free?”

Jian Ai was stunned and looked at Jian Yichen blankly. Was he… asking her out?

“Don’t misunderstand.” In the next second, Jian Yichen quickly explained, “I heard that there’s an ice lantern show at Baiyun Square tonight and there are fireworks. I wanted to go and look. If you have nothing on, we can go together!”

In other words, Jian Yichen seemed to tell Jian Ai that this was not a date. They were just two people spending Christmas together.

Jian Ai was a little relieved. If Jian Yichen wanted to date her, the world would be in a mess. Her heart was already in a mess, and she could not withstand such shock and torture.

“I’m sorry, Yichen. I’m not free tonight,” Jian Ai looked at Jian Yichen and apologized.

She was not lying. She was not free tonight because she had already promised Ji Haoyu that she would go to the Ji residence to attend Ji Haoxue’s Christmas party.

Ji Haoyu suddenly called her yesterday. She initially thought that since the corporation was busy before the new year, they should not be able to see each other. However, Ji Haoyu still took the time to ask her out to a party, so Jian Ai agreed.

Therefore, at this moment, she was not rejecting Jian Yichen. She had really promised Ji Haoyu.

When Jian Yichen heard this, he didn’t fight for it. He only nodded gently. “I see! Alright, I’ll play with Senior again when I have the chance in the future!”

With that, Jian Yichen turned around and left. He didn’t even ask Jian Ai what she was going to do tonight or who she was with. It was obvious that he was quite strong and had self-control. He was never curious about anything that had nothing to do with him.

Jian Ai opened her mouth to call out to him, but she didn’t know what to say. In the end, she could only give up and watch Jian Yichen disappear around the corner of the corridor.
