Chapter 217: Zhi Zhi: He is the man I care about the most
Han Chengran hadn’t expected his feelings to be noticed by her. For a moment, he felt even more at a loss, and in the end, he just nodded and admitted it straightforwardly.
"Yes. I do like you. Xingzhi, I’ve liked you since high school. Can you be my girlfriend?" Helian Yi finally confessed to Lu Xingzhi what he had always wanted to say but hadn’t.
"I’m really sorry. You shouldn’t like me anymore; I won’t and can’t like you." Lu Xingzhi did think well of Han Chengran, but only within the realm of classmates.
"Why? Am I not doing well enough?"
"No. I have a fiancé; you’ve seen him. That time at the airport, you saw that man, he is my fiancé." Lu Xingzhi felt she must tell Han Chengran this so he wouldn’t continue liking her.
"That man is your fiancé?" Han Chengran was incredulous yet found it quite logical.
In fact, he had always felt he wasn’t good enough for Lu Xingzhi.
The first time he saw Lu Xingzhi was while he was playing basketball.
At that time, she had her hair in a ponytail, wearing her school uniform and carrying a pile of exercise books as she passed by the basketball court. Next to him, a guy stopped, patted his shoulder, and said, "Look, look, it’s Lu Xingzhi, she’s really super pretty."
He looked over. His grades were quite poor, and he even thought using "pretty" to describe someone was really too superficial.
But he couldn’t find a more beautiful word.
How could someone wear a school uniform so well? Even though the pants were loose and the clothes were roomy, how did they look so pleasant when worn by Lu Xingzhi?
He had heard Lu Xingzhi play the piano earlier than most people. He always remembered once passing by a music shop and hearing a beautiful piano tune; his character was quite irritable.
