Her voice carried a sense of determination, and Jiang Shiyu's deep-set eyes fixed on her, revealing nothing of his thoughts.
Yun Li hung up after saying her piece, tossing her phone aside to continue watching the drama. This show had been recommended by Shu Ran, and she found herself watching it during her free time. The plot was surprisingly engaging, but now her interest had been somewhat disrupted.
A few minutes later, Jiang Shiyu called again. Yun Li glanced at the screen for two seconds before hanging up. He persisted, calling back once more.
Irritation bubbled up within her; perhaps it was the interruption to her viewing. Furrowing her brow, she answered the call, her tone laced with annoyance. "Can you just stop?"
Jiang Shiyu continued to gaze at her intently, his Peach Blossom Eyes striking and profound, with long lashes that contrasted against his sharp brows, giving him an air of coldness. Those eyes were inherently affectionate, but in this moment of unwavering focus, they made Yun Li's heart race.
Three seconds passed before he spoke, his voice deep and magnetic. "You may not want to see me, but I want to see you."
What does that mean? Her heart raced faster.
Her fingers tightened around the phone, the pressure causing her fingertips to pale.
"I want to pursue you."
The words struck her like a hammer against the bell of her heart, reverberating within her.
He clarified slowly and deliberately: "Yun Li, I am pursuing you."
"I won't accept." It took Yun Li a long moment to regain her voice.
"Pursuing you is my business; whether you accept it is yours," he replied.
Conflicted emotions swirled within Yun Li as she ended the call. The thought that someone as proud and reckless as him would actually pursue someone was utterly unfathomable.
The next day, Yun Li continued with rehearsals. At lunchtime, she went to the cafeteria with Teacher Wei to eat.
As soon as she stepped out of the break room, a delivery person approached her. Glancing at the photo on his phone, he said, "Hello, ma'am. This is a meal ordered for you by Mr. Jiang. Enjoy your meal."
Yun Li took it in a daze, and Teacher Wei, standing nearby, teased, "Looks like our Yun Da's romantic prospects haven't dried up!"
Yun Li smiled awkwardly and said to the delivery person, "No, thank you. You can keep it!"
The delivery person refused, explaining, "Mr. Jiang insisted that I deliver it personally to you. He’s already paid me for the day, so I have to complete this task."
Seeing the delivery person wouldn’t take it back, Yun Li turned to Teacher Wei and said, "If you don’t mind..."
Teacher Wei quickly waved his hand. "No, no! This is a kind gesture from the young man. You shouldn’t refuse it, Yun Li."
"I know this place," he continued. "It's a well-known hotel with good food. You should give it a try."
The delivery person chimed in, "Yes! This hotel is famous for its meals. The best part is that it's pricey; just this simple order of two dishes and a soup costs six dollars."
Looking at the young delivery person who seemed like a student trying to earn some pocket money during summer vacation made Yun Li hesitate about throwing the meal away.
After thinking for a moment, she called Shu Ran.
Shu Ran's office wasn’t far from there; she had been to Yun Li's workplace before and could get there in just three minutes by car.
As soon as she heard that there was good food, she rushed over.
While eating the meal, Shu Ran's eyes lit up. "Hao Hao! This is delicious! It’s a bit spicy, but this garlic pork is so flavorful—where did you get it? I need to know for next time!"
Yun Li glanced at the packaging and replied, "From Shi Da Wang's."
"With such tasty food available, why are you still eating at the cafeteria? You didn’t order this just for me, did you?" Shu Ran asked.
Yun Li took a bite of a green vegetable while looking at the dishes in front of her: a serving of garlic pork with plenty of lean meat that wouldn’t be greasy, and the fragrant red oil wafting up was enticing. There was also a plate of stir-fried bean sprouts that looked plain but smelled delicious.
Additionally, there was a refreshing loofah and egg soup; the loofah was vibrant green while the yellow eggs complemented each other beautifully.
His taste was excellent; everything was what Yun Li loved to eat.
