What the heck!!
Is she going straight for the highest difficulty right from the start?
She wants Mo Yanzhou to fall in love with her right away!
Young but ambitious.
“That’s a bit difficult,” Zhan Bai said.
The car window instantly rolled up.
“You woman, why are you so impatient!” Zhan Bai fumed.
Can’t stand to hear even a single negative word.
Who’s the petty one here!
Zhan Bai knocked on the car window, “Open it for me!”
“So aggressive. If you keep this up, I’m going to call the police,” Bai Yunxia said with an innocent look through the tinted window glass.
The window film made it hard to see clearly.
Zhan Bai simply stood in front of the car hood, tapping it with his fingers, his eyes roguish and mischievous.
Bai Yunxia timidly rolled down the window.
She couldn’t win against him.
“You can’t help anyway,” she preempted.
“I said it’s a bit difficult, but did I say it’s impossible?”
“You and Mo Yanzhou have different personalities. How can you guarantee it?” Bai Yunxia still thought Zhan Bai was unreliable.
Extremely unreliable.
“Men are all the same. Mo Yanzhou is a man too, how special can he be?” Zhan Bai took out his phone. “Let’s exchange contacts. I’ll get in touch with you once I’ve drafted a conquest plan.”
Bai Yunxia didn’t want to add him, but if she didn’t, he might not let it go.
To get away as soon as possible, Bai Yunxia added him.
“Your name.”
“Bai Yunxia.”
Zhan Bai repeated it once, “Were you born in summer?”
“You’re asking too many questions.”
“Miss, it’s summer right now. If your birthday is coming up, that’s a great opportunity. Are you sure you don’t want to tell me the truth?” Zhan Bai deleted “Bai Yunxia” and changed it to Xiaxia.
Heh heh.
“My birthday is in a month,” Bai Yunxia said dismissively. “You can move your car now.”
She would turn 21 in a month, and there was only a six-year age gap with Mo Yanzhou. Generation gap? Nonexistent.
Zhan Bai flashed a cynical, mischievous smile. “Alright, wait for big brother to draft you a husband-chasing plan. I guarantee you’ll win over Mo Yanzhou. If you can’t win him over, I’ll make sure you do. We’ll get him divorced for you.”
Bai Yunxia: “…”
Sis, help! I’ve encountered a pervert!!!
After Zhan Bai moved his car, Bai Yunxia sped off as if fleeing for her life.
Mo Yanzhou was on another business trip.
When Bai Yunxia heard the news from Yu Chao, her heart felt like stagnant water.
Did Mo Yanzhou leave because he didn’t know how to face her after last night’s kiss?
Or was he really busy?
Friday was approaching. She had thought Mo Yanzhou would be like those male leads in novels—saying he wouldn’t come but actually being tsundere, secretly showing up to surprise her.
Now it seemed she had thought too much.
Mo Yanzhou was different from those tsundere male leads!!!
When he said he wouldn’t come, he really meant it!
All that anticipation for nothing.
She hadn’t been texting Mo Yanzhou all day every day either. She needed to play hard to get; she couldn’t pull the string too tight.
On graduation day, the sun was bright, the weather clear, and the campus was filled with the atmosphere of youth, along with the sour-sweet scent of romance.
Bai Yunxia took photos with her classmates, then took a selfie and sent it to the family group chat. Her parents replied with “Congratulations on your graduation, daughter.”
Her sister was probably busy and hadn’t seen it yet.
As for Mo Yanzhou, he definitely wouldn’t want to join their small group chat, so she hadn’t added him.
So she posted on her Moments: “The student era has ended, another phase of life is just beginning. The summers ahead will still be blazing with passion!”
She deliberately tagged her school’s location.
Mo Yanzhou, did you see it?
Do you feel guilty?
Couldn’t even attend your dear wife’s graduation ceremony.
After the ceremony, Bai Yunxia took off her gown and daintily held up an umbrella as she walked toward the parking lot.
“Xia Xia!”
That voice…
Bai Yunxia looked uncertainly toward the flashy orange sports car in the parking lot.
Zhan Bai, wearing sunglasses and holding a bouquet of flowers, approached her.
“Xia Xia, is that your boyfriend?”
“Wow, your boyfriend is so handsome!”
“Such a big bouquet, the colors are so beautiful. Your boyfriend has great taste!”
Bai Yunxia shook her head frantically. “He’s not! Don’t misunderstand, he’s really not my boyfriend!”
Several classmates giggled among themselves as they walked away.
Why wouldn’t they listen to her explanation!
“Are you crazy!” Bai Yunxia said coldly. “Why are you giving me flowers?”
Lunatic.
“Aren’t you graduating today? Happy graduation.” Zhan Bai handed her the large bouquet. “Since Mo Yanzhou didn’t come, having your brother here is just the same. Don’t be polite, take it.”
Before her was a purple-themed bouquet from the currently popular Beast floral studio. Even an ordinary bouquet cost over a thousand, and this one in Zhan Bai’s hands contained only premium flowers, worth at least five to six thousand.
The flowers were beautiful, but Zhan Bai wore a mischievous smirk.
“Thank you.” Bai Yunxia politely declined. “You should keep them for your girlfriend.”
“My girlfriend doesn’t like flowers; she prefers jewelry and diamonds.”
“Please go find your girlfriend to play with, young master, and stop bothering me.”
She was already in a bad mood because Mo Yanzhou hadn’t come.
“When I find her, I’ll stick to her every day. I just haven’t found her yet.” Zhan Bai held the flowers with one hand while attempting to take her parasol with the other.
Bai Yunxia, conscious of being a married woman, deftly sidestepped, avoiding Zhan Bai’s outstretched hand.
She scoffed lightly, “You don’t even have a girlfriend, yet you boast about helping me chase Mo Yanzhou. You seem completely unreliable.”
“Bai Yunxia, I could find a girlfriend in minutes if I wanted to. I just choose not to!”
“Then why are you helping me?” Bai Yunxia didn’t believe Zhan Bai had such good intentions.
“Because I think it’s fun. I want to see if Mo Yanzhou—that aloof, ascetic, untouchable god—can actually be troubled by love. Does he even have human emotions? I want to see what he’s like when he falls madly in love, to witness him lose control.” Zhan Bai’s narrow phoenix eyes squinted slightly against the harsh light, his thin lips curling into a smirk.
His face was excessively handsome and wicked, like a true demon.
Zhan Bai was right—if he wanted a girlfriend, he could have one effortlessly.
She was beautiful too, with a great figure and a gentle, water-like personality. So why was it so hard to seduce Mo Yanzhou!
Something must be wrong somewhere.
Maybe Mo Yanzhou didn’t like gentle types; perhaps he preferred strong, dominant women?
She might not be able to change her personality, but she could adjust her style.
“What the world most wants to see is the fall of a god. Mo Yanzhou is that god who appears lofty and untouched by desire. Xia Xia, with your level of difficulty, without external help, how long will it take you to catch him?”
“You’re full of shit. You didn’t even give me a single lousy suggestion. Stop bragging.” Bai Yunxia finished speaking and jogged away holding her umbrella.
Her legs were long, but Zhan Bai’s were even longer.
He caught up with her effortlessly.
“You’re looking down on me!” Zhan Bai’s chest burned with frustration and heat.
He didn’t know whether it was because of the sweltering weather or because he was furious.
Bai Yunxia slipped into the car, but before she could close the door, Zhan Bai squeezed into the passenger seat clutching that exaggerated bouquet of flowers.
“Get out!”
