"I really like you"
Lin Zi's heart felt like it was going to explode upon hearing that. How could Li Tian say it so casually and calmly? Could it be that Li Tian just wanted to play tricks on him? They had not been acquainted for long and Li Tian had already expressed his feelings.
"A..what?" murmured Lin Zi could not say a word.
"Didn't you like me too?" insist Li Tian.
"When I say I like you" said Lin Zi, turning her eyes.
"Look at my eyes, and say it again"
Lin Zi looked into Li Tian's eyes. It felt very hard to just say that he did not like Li Tian.
"I don't like you." said Lin Zi.
"Try saying it again" said Li Tian who began to bring his face closer.
"I don't like you!"
"Tell me one more time." said Li Tian who brought his face closer to just a few centimeters away from Lin Zi's face.
Lin Zi stared within Li Tian's two eyes. It feels like hypnotism. Lin Zi wrapped her hands around Li Tian's neck. Both of his eyes were closed as his lips touched Li Tian's lips. Li Tian who did not want to be defeated even retorted by wrapping his hands around Lin Zi's slim waist and deepening his kiss.

Time passed and their relationship grew closer. Although Li Tian looked indifferent but actually he was very considerate. It's just that he doesn't show his side of attention in front of others. And that attitude was also what sometimes made Lin Zi misunderstand. The other students had also stopped gossiping about Lin Zi.
"Lin Zi, next week your contract is done right?" ming Yue asked the girl who was devouring her food.
"Yes, it coincides with Li Tian's birthday" muttered Lin Zi after swallowing her mouth food.
"Have you prepared a gift?"
"Hmm. but I'm ashamed to give it"
"Why?" ming Yue asked curiously.
"He's very rich and the stuff I'm going to give you isn't brandy"
"Give it.. Li Tian didn't ask for anything from you anyway, did he?"
"You're talking about me?" said a man while sitting next to Lin Zi and putting his plate on the table.
"Li Tian.." muttered Ming Yue looking at the person she was talking about.
"So what will you give me later?" li Tian asked as he stuffed his food.
"No one" said Lin Zi.
Li Tian reached into his pocket and took out his wallet. He pulled out one of the cards in his wallet and thrust it in front of Lin Zi.
"Use to buy gifts" said Li Tian giving his credit card.
Lin Zi placed her chopsticks on the table. Something offended his heart. His appetite disappeared instantly.
"I don't need your money!"
Lin Zi left behind Li Tian who was still confused.
"What's wrong? Why'd he leave?" li Tian said with his stupid look.
"You're saying you're her lover but you still don't understand her? She's not a matre woman"
"I know. I mean what's wrong with giving him money to buy me a gift? I just don't want him to feel embarrassed"
"You've demeaned him! After all he has prepared something for you" Ming Yue said before devouring his food again.
Wrong again wrong again. That's what men often think when what they do turns out to be wrong in the eyes of women. Sometimes it's confusing but that's women. If done will look wrong but if not done even more wrong. It's not really complicated women, it's just that men's thinking is too simple.
The bell went off. Li Tian looked to be waiting in front of Lin Zi's class. But the person he was waiting for did not come out. There are still 6 students who picket and still in class. However he did not see Lin Zi there.
"Have you guys seen Lin Zi?" li Tian asked from the doorway.
"Lin Zi's? He has been out since" said one of the female students who was sweeping the floor.
Li Tian left with a feeling of annoyance. Did Lin Zi need to be that angry? thought.
Meanwhile, Lin Zi was seen in the middle of a shop selling various threads.
"You're gonna knit it yourself?" asked a man who was beside Lin Zi who was picking a thread.
"It would be more meaningful if I knit it myself right?! Eh Yuan, nice black, ash ash or brown?" asked Lin Zi thinking of a color suitable for Li Tian.
"true too,.. Uncle, black 15 and red 2" Lin Zi told the seller.
"Alright" said the seller who then wrapped up Lin Zi's order. "You're lucky to have a lover who can knit" the seller said as he gave Lin Zi's order while looking at Jing Yuan.
"He is not my lover" Lin Zi and Yuan said with a small laugh.
"really? Then you should immediately make her your lover" the salesman joked to Yuan.
"This, thank you uncle" said Lin Zi giving money to the seller.
Lin Zi and Yuan walked out of the shop and entered Yuan's black Hongqi car. Shortly thereafter the car was parked in the parking lot of a modest apartment.
"Jiang Wu" called Lin Zi while knocking on the door.
Lin Zi knocked on it a few times and a moment later the door opened.
"Sister Lin" greeted Jiang Wu who then let Lin Zi in.
"Where's aunt Yun?" lin Zi asked as she poured water into the glass.
"Mother's coming home at 12 p.m"
"AT 12?" asked Lin Zi after drinking out a glass of water she poured.
"Mom worked from 7 am to 4 pm, then worked part time until 12 pm" explained Jiang Wu who sat on the sofa in front of the television.
"And leave you home alone every day?" asked Lin Zi while sitting beside Jiang Wu.
"I'm a man so it's not a problem. It's just that I feel sorry for the mother who keeps working. I also wanted to help but I was still Junior High so no one would accept me" Jiang Wu said.
"Just study hard and make your mother proud. And also about the money, tell auntie there's no need to return it"
"Stay, it's not a little money. Brother must need it for college too"
"I'm going to try to get a scholarship so don't think about my tuition. Then I have to leave now, someone is waiting for me in the parking lot" Lin Zi said as she stood up.
"Your lover?"
"Friends"
"Will you not come home?" jiang Wu asked halting Lin Zi's footsteps.
"Go home, of course I have to go home. I'll go first yes, lock the door and don't open it for people you don't know"
Lin Zi descended the stairs quickly and headed towards the parking lot.
"Am I taking too long? I'm sorry I kept you waiting" Lin Zi said to the man standing leaning against the car.
"It's okay. The air here feels cool even though it's summer"
"really. There are many trees here and the rent is also not expensive. Although the room is a bit narrow at least still can be lived in"
"Come in, I'll practice eating and then drive you home"
"no need. It's 8 o'clock more, after all I still have to work at Li Tian's house"
"Other times?"
"Alright, next time I will let you treat me" Lin Zi said with a smile.

Lin Zi waved at Yuan who entered his car. After that he entered the password to open the door. A moment later the girl had managed to open the door and she was very surprised to see someone standing in front of her.
"You surprised me! What are you doing here?" asked Lin Zi whose heart was still pounding with shock.
"Where?" li Tian asked tightly.
"From my apartment" Lin Zi replied no less tightly.
"With Yuan? You're dating her?" li Tian asked incessantly.
"Dating? Is your brain damaged? What do I have for you for dating? Nevermind! I'm lazy to make a fuss with you!" said Lin Zi who then cheered inside.
"Why is he angry?" murmured Li Tian with a sinister stare at Lin Zi's back which was getting further away.
