"Big brother!"
“There’s no room for discussion on this.” He Yuan’s attitude was very firm. He stared straight at He Jing and said, “You have your own path to walk. You’ve finally entered Tsinghua University. You should focus more on chemistry. I can handle my own experiments.”
Seeing his resolute expression, He Jing knew she couldn't win the argument, so she had no choice but to give up the idea for the time being and make plans for later.
...
He Jing received a call from Yan Hanxi, asking if she wanted to go skiing.
He Jing was already used to someone's elusive nature. Listening to the sounds coming from the other end of the phone, she frowned and asked, "Are you not in the country right now?"
Yan Hanxi chuckled: "In Sweden."
He accompanied his father to Sweden for a conference, but seeing a group of foreigners talking animatedly and looking rather uninterested, he made up an excuse to leave.
After meeting He Jing, he felt more and more that attending meetings was a serious waste of life, and that managing the group's affairs was nothing compared to dating and teasing his fiancée.
The dating guide says that you should make sure your crush feels loved and cared for during all your free time.
He Jing said, "We have the same total score and are tied for first place, so the skiing bet should be settled, right?"
Yan Hanxi only asked, "Are you coming?"
He Jing: "..."
Yan Hanxi coaxed, "Park Seok and Relis had a lot of fun. They said there are bears at the ski resorts in Canada. They are very big but don't hurt people. The sled dogs there have thick and smooth fur. It's so soft to pet them. The Canadian smoked meat is very substantial. The desserts are also unforgettable."
"If you want to ski, I can take you to the St. John's River, the Agawa Canyon, and the Columbia Icefield. We can see penguins, the Northern Lights, and maple forests. If you agree, give me an answer within three seconds. If you don't agree, I'll search for more travel guides."
He Jing: "..."
From now on, let's not call him Yan Hanxi, let's just call him Yan Songsong.
How did such a domineering CEO turn into a goofball?
Yan Hanxi waited for a while but didn't hear He Jing's voice. He glanced to the side and saw that his father had already sent his assistant to arrest him.
With a sigh of utter helplessness, Yan Hanxi said, "Good student, I really miss you."
Finally, He Jing replied on the phone: "Yes, you can swipe."
Yan Hanxi's thin lips curled up slightly.
"Then I'll send a plane to pick you up."
He Jing rubbed her temples: "Let's wait until I finish my training. My brother is in some trouble, and I want to help him sort it out."
Yan Hanxi readily agreed: "Sure, call me anytime if you need anything."
The assistant had already walked up behind Yan Hanxi.
"Young Master, you should go back now."
Yan Hanxi put away her phone: "OK."
He Jing hung up the phone, looking at the short one-minute call recorded in the call log, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him—
I've been missing for so many days, and I only have time to call her during breaks in meetings. But I can't even talk for a minute before I have to go back to the meeting. It's really miserable.
It seems being the male lead isn't so easy.
All enjoyment comes at the cost of freedom.
He Jing knew she couldn't do it, so she got up and walked out of the room. She saw He Zhou standing at the door, holding a box in his hands, his expression indifferent and hesitant.
He probably wasn't planning on coming in, but He Jing accidentally bumped into him, and his expression changed immediately.
He Jing's gaze lingered on the box in his arms for two seconds, then looked at his face: "Third Brother, what are you doing here?"
He Zhou was instantly furious, as if his tail had been stepped on. He shoved the box into her arms and stormed off.
