Misunderstanding cleared.
It turned out that he was with my roommate just to attract my attention and see if I had any feelings for him in that way.
I didn't hide my thoughts from him.
Tell him directly, "Yes, Pei Hehui, I like you, but it's not just me who likes you. If you like me, we can definitely be together. If you really like me, please give me some time, okay? When I figure it out, whether I will be with you or not, I will tell you directly."
"Okay." He agreed immediately, "But you have to give me a time limit, right? Do you think I have to wait forever if you haven't made up your mind?"
He now speaks in a very different way. I told him that I would give him a reply within a month. If I can't be with him, I won't keep him hanging.
But if I decide to be with him, I won't run away anymore.
He nodded contentedly and took me to visit his base at school. It turned out that they all had their own offices, and I had been avoiding contact with him.
I always feel that the gap between Pei Hehui and me is getting bigger and bigger.
Pei Hehui invited me to join his small entrepreneurial team, and I did not refuse. If the gap was too big and I didn’t find a way to narrow it, then I would never agree to be with him.
Since I like him and he likes me, all I need to do is try to make the gap between us smaller and smaller.
After joining his team, I learned both entrepreneurship and business, without missing out on either one.
I am always among the top three in my studies and I always win scholarships. I am a good student in the eyes of my teachers and an excellent student in the eyes of my classmates.
At work, I completed every task assigned by Pei Hehui conscientiously and strictly, and my performance was far ahead of other students in the school.
Even Pei Hehui sometimes looks at me with admiration, and occasionally praises me for having such a good business sense.
Every time I just smiled and said nothing. It was obvious that he knew all the methods I used. Wasn’t it the same method that Teacher Ruan taught us back then?
It's impossible that he doesn't know this, but he still praises me a lot in front of his colleagues every time.
Even a blind person can sense this kind of thought.
I think that after a month, my answer will definitely be affirmative.
When the one-month contract was almost up, I was taking a nap in the dormitory. I wasn’t completely asleep, but was listening to a discussion among my other roommates.
They asked the roommate who had acted with Pei Hehui before, asking him if he also liked Pei Hehui and why he didn't be brave enough to pursue her?
I remember what she said at the time: "What's mine is mine, and what's not mine, I can't get it no matter how hard I try. They have been in love with each other for so many years. Unless one of them gives up directly, I can't get in. Instead of forcing it in and getting hurt in the end, it's better to just give up and stay with them. Isn't it good to work and make money? My family conditions are not that good, and this job solves my urgent needs."
They said some more words of comfort, and I thought that was the end of it, but she added, "I heard that the boss and Xiaoxiu seem to have a one-month agreement, that is, if Xiaoxiu refuses the boss, the boss will not pursue her. If Xiaoxiu can't change her mind, I may still have a chance."
Her tone was light, like she was joking, but I knew she was serious.
If I had not decided to agree to be with him at that time, I would have agreed after being provoked by her words.
After all, no one wants to be jealous more than once. Now that you have discovered your feelings and have made up your mind to get closer to the other person, be braver and work harder to get better for yourself.
When the one-month deadline was up, I went to buy a small bouquet of roses and walked towards Pei Hehui nervously.
He looked a little nervous, "Um, Xiaoxiu, have you thought about it?"
As if he was afraid of hearing my rejection, he added: "Actually, these differences are nothing. I like you, my parents like you too, and there is no blood relationship between us. All obstacles do not exist. Are you willing to be with me?"
Even though he knew that I might reject him today, he still expressed his true feelings to me without hesitation. There was no way I could refuse such true love.
I took out the rose from my back and handed it to him, "Here, it's for you."
"Hua...Rose, Rose, Xiaoxiu, have you promised me? You are willing to be a date with me, right?" He was a little excited. He wanted to hug the flowers and also wanted to hug me. For a moment, he didn't know where to put his hands.
I took another step towards him, closing the distance between us, then placed the flower between him and me, and put my arms around his neck. "Yes, I promise you. I've figured it out. No matter how big the gap is, I'll try my best to close it. Pei Hehui, will you date me?!"
He took all the previous steps towards me, so let me take the last step. I want him to know that I am also running towards him.
He picked up Hua and me and spun around happily. The smile on his face was very similar to the one he had when we were little kids and went out to steal sweet potatoes, make a fire and roast them.
"Xiao Xiu, Xiao Xiu, you finally promised me, I will never let you suffer any grievances in the future, we will be together forever, and we will definitely be happy!"
I don’t know what the future will be like, I only know that at this moment I am truly happy.
We started a business together. I am not only his emotional partner, but also his partner on the road to entrepreneurship.
Just when our class was doing well, a roadblock appeared in front of us. Uncle Qing Yang was preparing to resign and return home to retire. The heavy responsibility of the company fell on the still young Pei Hehui.
He had to leave the management of our small startup to me, while his father forced him to study hard in the company.
He needs to take over quickly to prevent any loopholes from occurring in the company.
I was under a lot of pressure during that time, and insomnia and hair loss became the norm, but fortunately I got through it, and so did he.
A few months later, our small company was completely on the right track, and he was also handling affairs in the big company, and he was able to do it with ease. Even without the guidance of Uncle Yuanzheng and Uncle Qingyang, he could make steady decisions.
We didn't tell our family about our relationship until I was firmly on my feet.
I saw Aunt Lanhua was shocked, "What? You've only been dating for a short time? I thought you've been together for many years. So I wasn't your future mother-in-law before?"
Her pretended surprised expression amused everyone. I smiled and leaned beside her: "Yes, you always are!"
