Chapter 301: Give Up
Shi Yan never gave up on Lin Man, despite liking her for many years and being repeatedly rejected. He knew that she savored the feeling of being pursued, and even boasted to her friends of a man, him, who was truly in love with her and had chased her for many years.
He knew most of her friends and knew there were other men in pursuit of her over the years. But all were rejected by Lin Man. No one had the persistence he had. Therefore, Shi Yan firmly believed that as long as he didn’t give up, he would win Lin Man over.
Recently, he thought he was close to success when Si Chen unexpectedly appeared, bringing him back to reality.
What he found even more intolerable was that apparently Si Chen was already married, but Lin Man was still crazily obsessed with him, and even after hearing about Xiao Zhenggang’s medical incident, insisted on coming here despite his objections.
Shi Yan felt like he was going mad. He wanted to lash out, but couldn’t bring himself to hurt Lin Man. His pent-up rage had nowhere to go and contorted his expression to such an extent that he looked like a wild beast, wanting to tear anything in sight apart.
Seeing the bloodshot fierceness in his eyes, Lin Man became apprehensively. She lost her temper earlier without thinking, but she was used to being so proud in front of Shi Yan that it was impossible for her to admit her mistake. Backing away two steps, she strove to stay calm, "Shi...Shi Yan, why do you care so much about what I do? I’ve made it crystal clear—I don’t like you. Even a hundred years from now the feelings will not change. Why don’t you just give up and find someone who loves you instead of pestering me?"
"Pester?" Shi Yan took a step closer to Lin Man and demanded, "Is that how you see my actions? Lin Man, even if your heart were made of stone or metal, I should’ve warmed it by now, shouldn’t I? You clearly loathe me, don’t you?"
As more passers-by stopped to watch their dispute, Lin Man felt a bit more secure. She got up her nerve, putting on an air of superiority, "You’re just not my type, and I don’t like people like you. You’re wasting your time."
