The Single-Minded Boyfriend (7)

After many exchanges of praising each other, Mother Pei’s goodwill towards Jiang Zhe went through the roof. In the end, Mother Pei was very reluctant when ending the video call. 

Pei Yun’s mouth twitched. Taking back her phone, she rushed back to her room and locked the door.

Mother Pei rolled her eyes, "So petty. Jiang Zhe is much more open-minded than her." 

Father Pei lowered his head and read the newspaper, not expressing any opinions. 

Jiang Zhe enjoyed a festive New Year at home. Father and Mother Jiang were both good people, and there were quite some friends and relatives who came to visit for the New Year. No matter who it was, they would praise Jiang Zhe when they saw him. 

Even if Jiang Zhe’s face was thick enough, he couldn’t help his ears from turning red. 

He secretly sent a message to Pei Yun, telling her about this, only to receive a schadenfreude expression. 

“I’ll give you a good talking to when we go back to school.” Jiang Zhe put down his phone and lowered his sharp gaze. 

After staying at home for ten days, he picked up his bag and returned to the school compound. 

The Jiang parents were very reluctant to see him go, and prepared a large amount of homemade snacks for him. 

Using the original words of the two elderly, it wasn’t easy for their son to leave home. Since they weren’t able to help out much, they could only put in effort to prepare food and essentials for him.

Jiang Zhe didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and accepted the two elderly’s good intentions. 

He could only walk to an isolated corner before putting the items into the system space. 

The train moved quickly and Jiang Zhe fell asleep. When he opened his eyes again, he had already reached the destination.

The school was still clean and quiet. Along with the slight drizzle, it seemed a ltitle bleak.

He walked straight in. Suddenly, the phone in his pocket vibrated. 

When you can come to work 

The message was from the company in the city. 

Jiang Zhe touched the screen, tapped a few times, and sent a message over.

Soon. 

He was still in his third year of college. It was best to communicate with the school before going out to work.

However, it shouldn’t be such a huge problem. After all, the school encouraged students to go for internships. 

Still, before all that, he still had to consolidate his foundations. 

Within half a day, he had dealt with everything. The second day was spent just like he did before the holidays, either in the library or in his room. 

By the time Pei Yun and the other students came back to school in crowds, Jiang Zhe had started to become busy again.

However, on the day she returned to school, Jiang Zhe spared a little time to pick her up from the station. After all, girls always brought too much things, making it inconvenient to rush for transportation.

Pei Yun’s heart was filled with honey, and became especially receptive to Jiang Zhe’s actions. She couldn’t help but secretly stretch out her finger and tickled his palm.

Jiang Zhe turned his head to look at her and said amusedly, "Don't play around." 

Pei Yun didn’t listen to him. 

Jiang Zhe couldn’t do anything about it, and could only endure it. Otherwise, if he said any more, she would become angry with him. 

No matter what year the students were from, school beginnings were always the busiest. 

Pei Yun only met Jiang Zhe on that day and chatted a little. Afterwards, they were both busy. By the time everything settled down, Jiang Zhe was going to the city again. 

Pei Yun was angry. 

But this was obviously good for Jiang Zhe. Emotionally and logically, she couldn’t prevent it. 

Therefore, she became even angrier. 

Jiang Zhe also guessed the unhappiness in her heart, and used a variety of tricks to make her happy, going to an amusement park, going shopping, snacking on the streets. Pei Yun’s heart finally felt a little better. 

On the day that Jiang Zhe was leaving, Pei Yun sent him off at the station, “When you arrive at in the city, remember to send me a message.” 

Jiang Zhe: “Alright.” 

Pei Yun: “You’re alone over there, make sure you eat your meals on time and don’t overwork yourself, you understand?" 

Jiang Zhe nodded.

Pei Yun "That, you must think of me every day, don’t look at other beautiful girls. I, I" 

Jiang Zhe hugged her and sighed, "A’Pei, don't worry, the city is so close to the school. In the future, I’ll visit once every half month, ok." 

Jiang Zhe took half a step back, gently and tenderly stroking Pei Yun’s face. 

Pei Yun almost couldn't hold back her tears. 

How did she not notice previously that she was so reluctant to let him go? 

She sniffed and pushed him without much strength, "Alright, the train is about to leave. You should quickly let them check your ticket." 

Jiang Zhe rubbed her head, softly answering "En." 

Finishing his words, he dragged his luggage and left without looking back. 

Pei Yun stood behind him and looked at his back getting further away, a form of panic emerging in her heart. 

Without thinking, she ran over and hugged him from behind.

Jiang Zhe was stunned, "A’Pei" 

Pei Yun buried her face in his back, her voice muffled, "Jiang Zhe, promise me. After you reach the city, you definitely, definitely must not look at other girls." 

"I beg you." 

Jiang Zhe's heart trembled, and his eyes became gentle and soft. He was too careless, not realising how uneasy A’Pei felt in her heart.

He didn't look back, only solemnly holding on to the hand hugging him around his waist, sighing softly, "I know." 

Pei Yun let go of him embarrassedly, stuttering, "Go quickly, I won’t stop you." 

Jiang Zhe picked up his feet and continued walking forward. Pei Yun silently watched him. 

He will look back, he will not look back, he will look back, he will not look back, he will look back 

Pei Yun watched as Jiang Zhe’s silhouette disappeared around the corner, disappointment and loss showing clearly on her face. 

In the end, he didn’t turn back to look at her, not even a glance.

 

Pei Yun’s nose turned sour, and she especially wanted to cry. She felt that she was really pitiful. Her boyfriend’s actions were a clear sign of an impending break up ah qaq 

She listlessly walked back, but before she even took three steps, her phone rang.

She subconsciously turned on her phone to look, it was a message. 

The sender was Jiang Zhe. 

Attached was a photo of her previous appearance, when she was looking at him expectantly and waiting for him to look back. Without saying, it looked foolish. 

The sourness disappeared, and a sort of awkwardness slowly climbed into her heart.

There was even a row of text below the photo, ‘I’m scared that if I turn back, I can’t bear to leave you.' 

Pei Yun 

The so called finding a light in the darkness. That was what this was. 

She was just feeling that this was it between her and Jiang Zhe. After that move, she was once again full of hope towards their future. 

Jiang Zhe definitely likes her. 

Pei Yun put away her phone, feeling much better, even going to a convenience store to buy an ice cream. 

Sweet. 

Jiang Zhe stayed in the company for a full year. Using the excuse that he hadn’t graduated, the company tried all means to reduce his salary.

This made Jiang Zhe mad. 

Holding the spirit of ‘Real men takes revenge’, not only did he resign from the company, but he also snatched up the company’s two most powerful backbone. 

Jiang Zhe also didn’t mistreat them. He extended the funds to create a company and gave them a portion of the shares. 

If they could be a boss, who would be willing to work for others? 

The three young fellows did as they said. They relied on their excellent technology and Jiang Zhe’s many worlds of business experience. 

They remained in the city, where hidden dragons and crouching tigers lay, growing a tiny unknown company into a huge corporation.

After Pei Yun graduated, she followed her boyfriend into the field. Initially, because her major wasn’t related, she was confused for a while. Thanks to Jiang Zhe’s timely discovery, his guidance, and cough, his comfort. This helped Pei Yun regain her self-confidence, and tried again.

Everything developed quickly. In the eyes of the industry people, Jiang Zhe’s start-up experience was unbelievably smooth. 

He had almost never taken the wrong path; his every decision was correct. Even if there were a few mistakes, he could correct it quickly such that the losses were negligible. 

This kind of business style, how does it resemble a small boy that just stepped into society? It was obviously a sly old man who’s been fighting in the business world for years. 

However, no matter how they investigated, they couldn’t find even a slightest flaw. 

This also became the biggest mystery in the industry.

As Jiang Zhe’s company continued to rise by the day, he also began to consider marriage. 

After working overtime till 10 o’clock again, Pei Yun and her colleagues packed up and prepared to go home. 

Suddenly, the lights went out, plunging them into sudden darkness. Before anyone could react in surprise 

A flickering light approached them from afar. 

When the other party came closer, she finally saw clearly who it was. 

Pei Yun: "Jiang Zhe, you" 

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Pei Yun, happy birthday to you."

The employees sang in unison. Pei Yun was speechless. She covered her mouth, her eyes firmly fixed on the man.

Jiang Zhe pushed aside the cart in front of him and got down on one knee. His hands slowly opened the red box, revealing the shiny ring inside. 

Jiang Zhe: “A’Pei, today is your 24th birthday. I hope to celebrate it with you every year in the future. Will you give me this opportunity?" 

Pei Yun’s tears covered her face and she almost couldn’t see the scene in front of her eyes clearly. She was afraid that this would all be a part of a beautiful dream, which would disappear when she woke up.

However, looking at the earnest gaze of the man before her, she couldn’t reject. She nodded strongly. The feeling of a ring slipping onto her left hand’s ring finger felt so real. 

She couldn’t hold back her emotions and whispered, "Is this a dream?" 

Jiang Zhe went over and kissed her, whispering, "Don’t be afraid, trust me. Whether it’s in a dream or in reality, I will always be with you."

Translator notes: Hey guys, some of you were wondering why I ghosted in Feb. My grandma passed away just one day after I posted my update. It was a brain aneurysm, and was really sudden, so I was hardly in the mood to translate. It’s taken me a long time to come to terms with it, though I’m still affected even now. Just today, I received news that a friend of mine lost his fight against cancer. Nonetheless, I hate leaving arcs uncompleted, so here’s the last chapter of the arc, and the missing chapters for the story.
