048 Jian Yi, I like you (Continuing from Act 1)

  "In my four years of university, I worked hard to balance work and study, and didn't have the luxury to think about romantic relationships. After graduating from university, I entered the construction industry, but the competition was so fierce that with my degree being the lowest among architects, I had no choice but to pursue a master's degree while continuing to work part-time. When I first started in this field, I naturally needed to put in several times more effort than others to gain recognition, and on top of studying for my master's, I even had to squeeze out time to sleep every day."

  "Emotional matters are still a luxury for me." Song Yu took a deep breath, "Now, life has finally gotten on the right track, work is busy but I don't need to struggle as hard as before. So, more than once, I've thought about the things that have been weighing on my mind."

  "My mom was right, if you like a man, you should grasp him tightly. No matter what you think, I feel that at least I should let you know my thoughts, so there won't be any regrets, and I won't regret not trying."

  "Jian Yi, I like you." She said softly with her forehead against the door, hearing the sound of her own heartbeat, "thumping thumping thumping" violently.

  Her heart was racing like a wildfire, surging all the way up to her head, burning her face with heat.

  There was a moment when she felt like she couldn't breathe.

  "If... you also like me, then open the door, I want to talk to you face to face." She said, breathing heavily and having difficulty catching her breath. "If you don't like me, everything is just my own imagination. So tonight's words, just pretend you didn't hear them, no need to open the door, and don't feel troubled. Just act as if nothing happened, we're still good friends. As for me, I won't have any other thoughts about you."

  Song Yu stopped and looked down at the door handle.

  The door handle didn't budge, and she sank her heart in disappointment. Although she spoke casually, the man she had liked for so many years thought he also had intentions towards her, but it turned out to be a self-inflicted romance, how could her heart not ache?

  Song Yu's eyes stung and she felt like crying, just as she was about to turn around and go back to her own room, the doorknob turned.

  "Crack!"

  The door was knocked open.

  Song Yu first saw a pair of bare feet and long legs wearing slippers, his gaze followed the legs up to the knees, where there was a white bath towel.

  Her gaze moved upwards, and she saw the towel wrapped around his waist, revealing a flat and firm abdomen above it. The muscle texture was clear, with obvious abs, like a magazine model who had undergone PS. His abdomen looked hard and full of power.

  She never thought that Jian Yi was naked in the house!

  Song Yu felt his face burning, and both ears were about to smoke.

  He was inside the door, standing so close to her that she could even feel the waves of heat emanating from his chest, scorching her forehead.

  Song Yu was even more afraid to lift her head, her face flushed bright red, awkwardly lowering her head, staring at her toes, not daring to look up even a little, the scene was just too tempting.
