Stealing Your Heart

A few of Sang Yu’s course mates walked over.

Sang Yu held Shen Peichuan’s hand tightly and whispered, “They can get a little too hospitable and might make you feel uncomfortable.”

Shen Peichuan responded by tightening his grip on her hand. I should be able to handle a group of undergraduates.

Being a tall man, Shen Peichuan stood out from the people there and caught everyone’s attention.

Sang Yu then introduced Shen Peichuan to her course mates, “He is…”

“Your husband, yea, we know,” one of the course mates interrupted her and started studying Shen Peichuan. She then let out a sigh. “No wonder she wanted to get married even before she graduates. What a rare specimen.”

“I was the one who was in a hurry to marry her. She is the rare gem,” Shen Peichuan said.

Wow!

A commotion suddenly broke out among the course mates.

Sang Yu pressed her lips and looked at Shen Peichuan.

That answer had somewhat warmed her heart and put a smile on her face.

“Stop it, you guys,” Sang Yu was so embarrassed. She then turned around, looked at Shen Peichuan, and pointed at the course mate who spoke earlier, “She’s my roommate, Chen Nan.”

“Hello,” Shen Peichuan greeted her.

Sang Yu then introduced all her course mates to him. Shen Peichuan looked at everyone and said, “Thank you for taking care of Sang Yu. Please continue to support her.”

They answered, “We’re not only course mates but friends. Of course, we’ll look out for each other. In fact, we didn’t really take care of her too.”

Li Ya, one of the male course mates said, “Let’s go over there for the barbecue. We brought some good stuff for tonight.”

Everyone then walked towards the barbecue site.

Sang Yu intentionally walked slower, so she could grab his hand and whisper in his ear, “Are you okay?”

She knew Shen Peichuan was a serious man who detested nonsense. Yet, all her course mates were a bunch of noisy and jovial people. She was afraid he might not fit in.
