Stealing Your Heart

Wang Wen sat on a stool at the side. He had his elbows on his knees as he interlaced his fingers, and he sounded genuine when he said, “I fell for her ever since I met her. I later learn about how she came all the way to the village to be a teacher for free and realize that she uses her own money to buy study materials for the kids. That’s when I know that she is a kind and sweet woman. After spending some time with her, I confirmed that it isn’t an act. She is truly nice and has a kind soul.”

Wang Wen paused when he reached that part of the story. He took a deep breath before continuing, “She doesn’t really talk about her past, but I really want to get to know her. I also want to be there for her and become a man who can protect her and be her family.”

Despite hearing all that, Shen Peichuan was only focused on one point, “A-are the two of you dating?”

“To be specific, I am pursuing her. You’re her friend, and I’m sure you want her to be happy too, don’t you?” asked Wang Wen, who was examining Shen Peichuan’s expression closely.

Wang Wen was a pretty decent guy, and he was smart, but it would take a lot more than that to see through Shen Peichuan’s poker face.

For some reason, Shen Peichuan found himself relaxing when he heard about how Wang Wen was still courting Sang Yu. So they’re not in a relationship!

Shen Peichuan might be feeling better, but he had no intention of showing Wang Wen any mercy. The former dissed, “Of course I want her to be happy, but you are just a college student. Can you even afford to support yourself financially? How do you plan on taking care of her?”

“I will graduate in a year and find a job…”

“Talk to me after you have actually graduated and landed a job,” interrupted Shen Peichuan heartlessly.

“As a friend, you shouldn’t say something like that. You really should give her your blessings and be happy about her finding a partner…”

Just then, Sang Yu had dealt with the paperwork and returned at that moment. She asked, “What are you boys talking about?”

Shen Peichuan put on a crooked grin and replied, “It’s nothing. Can we leave now?”

“Yeah,” answered Sang Yu with a smile.

Wang Wen got up and stood beside Sang Yu. The former grinned at Shen Peichuan and said, “You’re a guest, and we should lead the way as the host. This way.”

Wang Wen held Sang Yu’s hand and led the way with her.

Sang Yu was taken aback. She stared at Wang Wen and blurted, “You…”

Wang Wen hushed as he inched closer and whispered, “You held my hand without permission earlier, so I’m returning the favors.”

Sang Yu was a little uncomfortable about it. She explained, “I was just… I mean, the situation was…”

“Regardless of the situation, you still held my hand. You must return this favor and put on an act for me as well,” said Wang Wen with a smile.

Shen Peichuan’s heart felt heavy when he glared at the way Wang Wen held Sang Yu’s hand. Shen Peichuan kept wondering, Why isn’t Sang Yu pushing the guy away? Does she have feelings for that man? What’s so good about a youngster like him? And what’s with that expression on her face?
