Chapter 300 If the sun shone brightly that year
The summer heat was intense; the whole world was radiating heat, and the leaves were so lush and green that they seemed to reflect the sunlight.
"Senior Fu, hello! I'm a freshman in the Finance Department. I've heard of you before. Everyone says you're academically excellent, tall, and handsome. I'm so happy to meet you in person today!"
Fu Shenyuan turned around under the tree-lined road and saw a girl who was a head shorter than him and whose face was unfamiliar.
He barely reacted, only his brow twitched slightly, which made the girl opposite him even more shy and anxious.
"These are cookies I made myself. I hope you like them."
The girl handed Fu Shenyuan a pink gift bag tied with a ribbon.
"My skills might not be very good, I hope you won't mind. If you like it, I can make it for you again next time!"
The girl's face was as red as a summer peach, sweet and tempting.
But Fu Shenyuan didn't seem to care who the person in front of him was, even though she was a recognized beauty in the finance department.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I cannot accept it."
The finance major's beauty immediately turned pale, looked up at him with great confusion, and asked in surprise, "Why? Senior... don't you like it? Or is there something you like? I can make it for you next time."
The girl took a step closer, eagerly.
Fu Shenyuan took two steps back.
"Shen Yuan? You're here! I've been looking for you for ages, waiting for you to play ball! -- Oh, what's going on? Did another beautiful girl confess her feelings to you?"
A boy carrying a basketball walked over from a distance, stood next to the two, glanced at them from both sides, and immediately understood what was going on.
"Beautiful lady, Shen Yuan can't accept this. Why don't you give it to me? I really like it. Thank you, junior."
The finance major beauty was unwilling to give up: "Senior Fu doesn't give anyone else a chance at all. Maybe we're really a good match. Why don't we try dating?"
The basketball player gave a knowing smile.
"Junior, you're still too young. How about this, I'll accept it on Shen Yuan's behalf, and I'll let him eat it later, is that alright?"
Seeing that Fu Shenyuan wouldn't even glance at her, and even gave his brother a sharp look, the financial beauty wasn't so keen on making a fool of herself.
"Next time! Next time I promise I'll take you out to eat with me! You have to be mine! I'll make you my boyfriend!"
The financial beauty swung her hips and tossed her long hair, full of fighting spirit, and strode away.
"Hey, Shen Yuan, I'm not trying to be mean, but how come you don't know how to cherish women? Well, it turns out you're just being extravagant with your own precious flowers at home. I was just being nosy."
Fu Shenyuan ignored his brother's taunts, his gaze fixed on the phone screen. The screen light shone into his eyes, making his pupils sparkle with tiny starlight.
I'm on my way to pick you up. Wait for me in the studio, don't wander off.
Twinkle Little Star: [Making a funny face emoji.gif]
Twinkle Little Star: [No way! (Oops...)]
Fu Shenyuan smiled silently, his slender fingers continuing to tap on the phone's keyboard.
【oh. 】
Is that so?
I've booked out the entire French restaurant that my little glutton wanted to eat at.
Looks like nobody wants to go with me.
Twinkle Little Star: [wait!]
Twinkle Little Star: [After a fierce struggle, I successfully defeated the little devil who was just going crazy. Now I'm Shen Yuan's angel star!]
Twinkle Little Star: [Brother, come pick me up quickly! I'm sitting quietly in the art studio waiting.]
Twinkle Little Star: [Cute.jpg]
Fu Shenyuan's eyes crinkled at the corners.
Wait for me, I'll come pick you up right away.
Fu Shenyuan smiled and put away his phone, only then noticing his brother watching him with a leisurely air.
"Finished chatting with your darling? Finally noticed your brother is here, Fu Shenyuan, are you even human?! I think you're just a womanizer who forgets his friends. My sincere feelings have been misplaced! Heavens!"
Fu Shenyuan was too lazy to argue with him: "Stop it, if you tease her again, watch out for your old man."
"Alright, alright, our family still needs to rely on your Fu family, I wouldn't dare to offend the future Mrs. Fu!"
Fu Shenyuan glanced at him with a slight smile: "Young Madam Fu?"
"What? Our little star still hasn't agreed to your proposal? Didn't you propose last time? Did you fail? Let me count, how many times has this failed? Hmm... could this be the sixth time? Wow! The young master of the Fu family, who is so eager to win over his love interest, has failed six times in a row. If I were to pursue those beautiful young ladies who were treated coldly by you, I would be heartbroken and unable to believe in the world!"
Fu Shenyuan smiled coldly: "You're not deliberately trying to touch a sore spot, are you?"
"Fine, fine! You're so magnanimous, you can't even let me have a little chatter once in a while? You're supposed to be everyone's dream guy, handsome, rich, single, a young tycoon, the center of attention, yet your love life is so incredibly bad! You get rejected so many times when you propose! Can't you find someone else? So many people would be lining up to marry you! Why do you put yourself through this? Wouldn't it be better to find someone else?"
"Don't say such things again!" Fu Shenyuan's face turned truly cold this time. "If Ranxing hears such words, you're really dead."
When Fu Shenyuan spoke like that, no one dared to joke around easily anymore.
"Okay, okay, I won't joke with you like that anymore, huh? Are you really planning to be tied to your little star for the rest of your life? Seriously, little star's family is ordinary, you have better options, haven't you considered other rich heiresses?"
"Not considering it."
Fu Shenyuan shook his head: "Besides her, I will never have anyone else in my life."
"So, if she doesn't agree to marry you, you're really going to keep waiting? If she never agrees, are you going to wait a lifetime?"
Fu Shenyuan nodded: "Yes, if she doesn't agree now, I'll wait now. If she doesn't agree for a lifetime, I'll wait for a lifetime. Besides, a lifetime isn't that long."
He felt that a lifetime with Jiang Ranxing was not enough.
Perhaps only by experiencing life after life can one quench their thirst.
"This is insane! This world is too surreal! From the moment you two met, to the beauty risking her life to save the hero, and then the hero sacrificing himself to protect the beauty, it's all too surreal. If it weren't for destiny, it would be impossible!"
In the blink of an eye, the two had arrived outside the studio of the design institute.
Through the classroom glass, you can see that in the empty art studio, there is only one girl sitting by the window, with one hand supporting her chin and the other seemingly drawing on the canvas with a bored expression.
The afternoon sun warmly kissed her profile, her long, thick, curled eyelashes fluttering like the wings of an elf. Her slender neck tilted to one side, and when she gently swayed her hair, her curly hair trembled. She looked so inviting that one wanted to stand beside her and have her smile at them.
"Alright, go to the magic area and don't let Burning Star see you."
Anyone with ears could understand what Fu Shenyuan was saying.
What he meant was: Get out of here.
"Speechless! Little Star and I are fellow disciples, why can't she see me! I think you just don't want other men to see your sweetheart, are you some kind of jealous monster reincarnated??"
Fu Shenyuan raised an eyebrow: "Say what you will, a person with morals shouldn't disturb our date."
"You say I'm immoral? What about you? Do you think it's moral to cut off Little Star's peach blossoms all the time? If it weren't for you, Little Star might have already found a husband!"
"What did you say? Say it again?"
Fu Shenyuan's glare was no joke; if it could inflict real damage, he would probably be meeting some deity by now.
Fu Shenyuan said, "Are you going to make jokes about her again?"
"Alright, I was just venting. You two are a match made in heaven, childhood sweethearts, a perfect couple. I sincerely wish you well, respect! I wish you can win over Mrs. Fu's heart soon, become her legal husband, climb into her bed, and become the legal father of her son and daughter. Then, may your family live happily ever after. Is that alright, young master?"
Fu Shenyuan seemed quite pleased and said, "I accept your blessing. You can go now."
"Tch... hopeless love-struck fool, even zombies wouldn't eat you! Goodbye!"
Fu Shenyuan was too lazy to argue with his brother any longer.
As he pushed open the door, the girl who had been casually sketching lines just moments before immediately sat up straight and looked at him.
Then Fu Shenyuan saw that she originally wanted to laugh, but for some reason, she deliberately puffed out her cheeks and pretended to be unhappy, even though that look really didn't seem convincing.
"What's wrong? Who upset you? I'll go teach them a lesson for you."
Fu Shenyuan walked over with a smile, touching her long hair as he leaned against the windowsill and asked her a question.
Jiang Ranxing angrily looked up and pulled out a strand of her hair, looking like an angry little kitten who wouldn't let anyone touch her no matter what.
"Can anyone do it?" Jiang Ranxing asked him.
"Yes," Fu Shenyuan nodded, "I haven't lied to you, have I? Don't you believe me?"
Jiang Ranxing seemed to have gained confidence and stood up. However, she could only stand up and could not look Fu Shenyuan in the eye. Even so, she deliberately stood on tiptoe to make herself look "taller".
Fu Shenyuan looked down at the girl in front of him, his heart melting at her cuteness.
Jiang Ranxing glared at him fiercely and said, "It was you! I saw it all! I was here! I saw it all! You smiled at that girl, didn't you? You like her!"
Jiang Ranxing gestured with his hand and pointed out the window.
Following that fair and slender arm, Fu Shenyuan slightly turned his head, and from this angle, he could see the spot where he had just been stopped and chatted up by a certain beauty from the finance department.
Fu Shenyuan said innocently, "You saw it. I didn't accept her things. Your senior brother took them."
With his hands shrugged, revealing nothing, Fu Shenyuan smiled helplessly, yet his eyes still held tenderness.
"Then why were you smiling at her? I saw it clearly, you smiled! You like her, don't you!"
Even the unreasonable behavior of the person in front of him became exceptionally cute in Fu Shenyuan's eyes.
He thought back carefully: Did he laugh at that moment? And why did he laugh?
Oh, I remember now.
When a senior student was trying to persuade a beautiful girl from the finance department to leave, he said that he didn't know how to cherish women. At that time, he was thinking that his own gentle and sweet girl was actually quite cunning.
And now, those little paws are scratching someone again.
"I like her, so why would I come to you? Isn't that a contradiction in your thinking, baby?"
"...Who's your baby? I'm not."
A blush crept up the base of her ears, strikingly bright in the sunlight. Fu Shenyuan stared at it, feeling that the texture there must be wonderful, and that it might be even softer and more delicate if he were to press his lips against it.
Even faster than his mind, his hands rubbed her earlobe twice with his fingers. The warm touch was captivating, and it made her tremble and shrink back.
She looks cute when she's shy.
"I don't like her, I don't like anyone else, I only like you, and I will like you for the rest of my life."
Fu Shenyuan leaned down and used one hand to hold her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.
His gaze instantly enveloped her like a vast, all-encompassing net.
"If you doubt this again, next time I'll just kiss you without reporting it."
Jiang Ranxing knew what he meant.
He always respected her, and knowing that she was shy and didn't dare to do anything intimate, he would always ask her in advance.
Phrases like, "I'm going to kiss you, close your eyes if you're shy?", "Can I carry you home?", "I like you so much today, can I go a little too far?", "Can I touch you here too?", and so on.
At these times, she would always close her eyes shyly, feeling helpless yet willing to give in.
He rarely displays his strong possessiveness without asking for consent, unless he is genuinely unhappy.
It seems that her statement that he likes someone else made him very unhappy.
We shouldn't doubt his feelings.
"I'm sorry, I... I shouldn't have doubted this, I just... I just..." Jiang Ranxing stammered, unable to get a clear answer.
Fu Shenyuan loosened his grip slightly and said, "What is it? Tell me."
Jiang Ranxing's cheeks flushed red, and the wetness in his eyes made him look innocent, which could really arouse a sadistic desire in people.
Although Fu Shenyuan's hand was still on her chin, it was a gentle control. With a flick of his fingers, her heart itched. He was still waiting to entice the lost little deer to give a definite answer.
"That's right, that's right, I like you! I don't want you to see anyone else..."
With a cry of embarrassment, she shrank her neck and tried to break free, but was held firmly in his arms.
His breath was so hot, as if it would melt her into sugar water in the next second.
"Then what should I do? I don't want it even more than you do. I even hope that you will only look at me and never look at anyone else. Speaking of which, how about you nod when I propose to you again?"
The vibrations in my chest felt reassuring and comforting, transmitted through our skin-to-skin contact, each heartbeat a testament to my longing and affection.
"Oh...so that's where you were waiting for me. Well then, let's go eat first. I see French food beckoning to me."
A helpless smile appeared on her face, and the person embracing her sighed helplessly.
He proposed to her several times, seeking a formal commitment, but was fooled by the young girl again.
Even though it's a mutual consent matter, getting a formal title is extremely difficult.
Fishing doesn't raise fish, yet the fish seem to bite the hook. The little girl gently moves her hand, and the entire body of water is stirred up.
What can we do? We can't possibly give up.
"Okay, anyway, we were meant to be a couple, so there's no rush."
The afternoon sun was scorching hot, capable of melting away all fog, including this sweet dream.
Yes, they should have been a couple.
But it was just what should have been.
