"The world's gentleness is timely kindness and you in my eyes."
Song Qinian's heart instantly began to pound. Wasn't this something she had written back then?
No, no, it couldn't be that coincidental. Perhaps someone else had written the same thing.
She subtly shifted closer to Shen ChiYan, her eyes fixed on the sticky note in his hand, and saw the words written on it.
It was really hers!!!
Perhaps the content and handwriting could be the same, but every time she finished writing something, she would draw a heart at the bottom, a symbol unique to her. No one else could possibly have the same one.
Song Qinian never expected that back then, she had eagerly hoped Shen ChiYan would see this sticky note, but he hadn't.
Now, Shen ChiYan, with just a casual glance, had found hers.
It was over.
If Shen ChiYan found out she had a crush on him during college, would he hate her even more?
The next second, Song Qinian heard Shen ChiYan's sarcastic voice, "Heh... so cheesy!"
Song Qinian: "..."
"Were you all this bored in college?"
Song Qinian didn't want to talk to Shen ChiYan, or even see him again. She was afraid she wouldn't be able to control her primal urge and punch him.
"However, this handwriting does look a lot like yours."
Shen ChiYan's dark eyes looked deeply at Song Qinian, "It couldn't possibly be you, could it?"
He had just called it cheesy, how could Song Qinian dare to admit it? She immediately waved her hand, firmly denying it.
"Hmph, I doubt you'd dare."
At this moment, the crowd moved forward, and Shen ChiYan had already left the confession wall. Song Qinian deliberately lagged behind and tore off the sticky note she had written, putting it into her pocket.
Just as she was about to leave, she inadvertently saw a confession that was quite interesting.
"I hope my name and yours can be written together, whether on a wedding invitation or a tombstone at a funeral."
This girl or boy must have loved the other person deeply.
The name below was obscured. Just as she reached out to uncover it, Shen ChiYan suddenly called out.
"Song Qinian!"
Song Qinian had no time to see who it was and immediately caught up to Shen ChiYan's footsteps.
Shortly after Song Qinian left, a gust of wind blew, lifting the pink sticky note. Below that line of text, the name written was "Yan."
Jinghua University's centennial celebration had many events.
After a whole day, Song Qinian didn't know if others were tired, but she, the little follower, was exhausted.
At the banquet, Shen ChiYan was naturally at the table with the school officials, while Song Qinian and other school representatives were seated at different tables.
Song Qinian was starving. As soon as everyone started eating, she buried her head in her meal.
Seeing her sole focus on food, Shen ChiYan couldn't help but let out a soft snort. Everyone else was socializing, and she was just eating!
"Mr. Shen, I'll toast you."
Seeing Shi Tiancai, with whom Song Qinian had chatted happily earlier, Shen ChiYan clinked glasses with him and asked indifferently, "You know Song Qinian?"
Shi Tiancai had been assigned by the school to host Shen ChiYan and naturally knew everything about him.
"Yes, she's the flower of the Business Administration department. Because she smiles a lot, and her smile is sweet with dimples, we all call her 'Dimple Sweetie.'"
"Really? But as far as I know, you're from the Foreign Languages department."
Shi Tiancai chuckled awkwardly, "Yes, I am."
"Did you ever pursue Song Qinian?"
"Ah... no, no, no..."
"Really?"
Shen ChiYan's gaze seemed to pierce through people. Shi Tiancai cleared his throat, "I did want to pursue her, but before I could make a move, I heard she already had a boyfriend, so I didn't get the chance..."
"Bang..."
Before Shi Tiancai could finish speaking, Shen ChiYan suddenly placed his wine glass heavily on the table.
This startled not only Shi Tiancai but also everyone else at the table.
"Mr. Shen, what's wrong?"
Shen ChiYan regained his usual aloof and distinguished demeanor, "Apologies, my hand slipped."
The others didn't pay much attention to the minor incident and went back to their conversations.
Shi Tiancai sat next to Shen ChiYan and clearly felt a chill emanating from him.
The next second, he saw Shen ChiYan smile at him, "You said Song Qinian had a boyfriend in college?"
Shi Tiancai nodded, then quickly shook his head, "She probably didn't."
"Oh?"
"Many people pursued her back then. When she rejected everyone, she would say she had a boyfriend. In reality, no one ever saw her with any guy, so we all speculated that she said she had a boyfriend just to avoid being bothered."
Upon hearing this, Shen ChiYan's handsome face softened slightly.
He glanced faintly in Song Qinian's direction, "Many people pursued Song Qinian?"
"Of course, many. To put it this way, 40% of the guys at our school were snatched up by beauties from the film school. 20% were divided among the girls from our school, and the remaining 35% had either pursued or secretly liked Song Qinian. As for the other 5%, they were either gay or just bookworms solely focused on their studies."
Shen ChiYan: "...How did you get these statistics?"
"The Information Statistics and Analysis majors came up with them!"
Shen ChiYan: "..."
So this was what other people's college lives were like! They were truly idle!
"Heh heh... Mr. Shen, you were busy with your studies while also managing the Dingsheng Group, so you must have been very busy, unlike us who were just passing the time."
The year Shen ChiYan was a sophomore, Shen Zhenghao divorced Gu Zhiyan and left the Shen family.
That was a significant blow to the Shen family and Dingsheng Group.
Other shareholders, including Shen Zhengming, were all eager to take control of Dingsheng Group, so the old madam asked Shen ChiYan to step forward.
Although Shen ChiYan was only eighteen at the time, he possessed great composure and presence. Many shareholders initially disagreed with him but were willing to give him a chance out of respect for the old madam.
After a year, Shen ChiYan's capabilities and contributions to Dingsheng Group were evident to all. Coupled with his iron-fisted approach, no one dared to question him anymore.
During that period, Shen ChiYan was indeed very busy. He didn't remember later events clearly due to a car accident.
He had absolutely no interest in who was pursuing whom on campus, and he truly had no impression of Song Qinian.
He glanced at Song Qinian and saw quite a few boys surrounding her. He frowned deeply, "You think Song Qinian is very beautiful?"
Shi Tiancai didn't expect Shen ChiYan to ask such an obvious question, "Of course! While she's not the glamorous and sexy type, she's definitely cute and beautiful, charming us straight men. Especially when she smiles, haven't you noticed that when you see her smile, all your worries in the world disappear?"
Shen ChiYan gave Shi Tiancai a cool glance, "Really? That's because you haven't seen her cry."
