Love So Sweet

453 Always do Everything Seriously

“Zhang Yi Hai, our classmates are planning on eating out together at that new BBQ restaurant that just opened last week. Do you want to join us?” Tang Jin said as he placed his arms around Zhang Yi Hai’s shoulder.

“No.” Zhang Yi Hai did not even think about it before giving his response. He gave Tang Jin a look and spoke, “Why do you guys like gathering and eating together recently?”

Tang Jin heaved a sigh. “Aren’t we in our final semester? We should be making our memories together.”

Zhang Yi Hai pondered over it for a while and sighed. “I still can’t join you guys. I’m sorry. Maybe next time.”

“Zhang Yi Hai, what are you busy with these days?” Tang Jin could not help but feel curious. “Everyone got the same assignments. I know that you had already finished a few of your assignments earlier.”

“I still have some work.” Zhang Yi Hai adjusted the bag straps on his shoulder.

Tang Jin was quiet for a brief moment. He had always seen Zhang Yi Hai working so hard and could not help but admire him a little bit. Moreover, he knew that Zhang Yi Hai was the son of the Zhang Worldwide Group. Even if he did not work so hard, he could still find work at his father’s company.

“You are so busy. Most of us are enjoying our last freedom, but you are still working hard.” Tang Jin heaved a heavy breath. Seeing that Zhang Yi Hai was walking out to leave the class, he then followed his friend closely. “Why are you working so hard?”

Seeing Zhang Yi Hai working so hard made him feel a little disheartened. As his fellow classmates, he wondered if he was not doing enough.

.....

“Of course, I have to work hard. After we graduate, I still have to marry my girlfriend.”

Tang Jin was stunned for a few seconds.

It was then that he recalled that Zhang Yi Hai had a girlfriend. However, because no one had seen that girl, a lot of them did not take him seriously.

Some of them even wondered if he was saying things just to drive away the girls who kept on pestering him.

Who would have thought that this young man was considering marriage?

“Marriage... Isn’t that still early?” Tang Jin gave his friend a lookover. “Zhang Yi Hai, how old are you? Have you already considered marriage? Moreover... how long have you and your girlfriend got together?”

It seemed that it hasn’t been a long time ago since Zhang Yi Hai mentioned his girlfriend, right?

Zhang Yi Hai stopped in his track just as they almost reached the entrance. “I always do everything seriously.” His girlfriend’s face appeared in his mind, making him smile. “Since I dared to approach my girlfriend, of course, I have to set a goal.”

His parents always reminded him that as a man, he should always be responsible for what he was doing. If he liked a girl, he shouldn’t approach her unless he has marriage as his goal.

Otherwise, he would be wasting the girl’s time and feelings.

Playing around with someone else’s feelings was something that he should never do.

Perhaps, this was also the reason his father was very angry when he found out that he brought a girl back to their hotel.

His father was afraid that he was playing around with a girl’s feelings.

Tang Jin was surprised to hear his answer. Seeing that Zhang Yi Hai was leaving, he quickly chased after his friend to ask more about his mysterious girlfriend.

Meanwhile, a figure was standing behind the door. Her face paled and her body stiffened.

Ji Xin Xin was waiting for her friends who were on a quick toilet break when she overheard Zhang Yi Hai and Tang Jin’s conversation.

Not too long ago, she had gathered her courage to confess to Zhang Yi Hai. However, before it could even begin, the man told her that he was in a relationship.

His coldness towards her pained her heart and she was still not over the heartbreak.

Hearing Zhang Yi Hai talked about his girlfriend and his plan to marry after they graduated made her suffocate. The young man was always so serious and cold. But Ji Xin Xin saw his face while he was talking about his girlfriend. Surprisingly, Zhang Yi Hai could show such gentleness as well.

His girlfriend... why can’t that person be her? Why can’t he show her the same gentleness as well?

...

After leaving his class, Zhang Yi Hai went to meet his lecturer to send an application form.

The two of them chatted for a while before Zhang Yi Hai left again with a bright smile on his face. As he walked out of the office, Zhang Yi Hai continued to thank his lecturer a few times.

Zhang Yi Hai let out a sigh of satisfaction, knowing that his plan might work. But thinking of what he was going to do next, Zhang Yi Hai also realized that he will have to work very hard for it.

If he slacked off his study and did not get a good result, he would be disappointed in himself. Then, his girlfriend would be unhappy as well. After all, he already promised her that he will get a good result and would not let their relationship affect his study.

Zhang Yi Hai wanted to chase Fang Su Jin rightly. Of course, he will have to improve himself.

As the thought came to his mind, Zhang Yi Hai’s mood began to lighten up as well.

He went back to his apartment and cooked some instant noodles. While he was eating his meal, Zhang Yi Hai had his attention fully on his computer.

Next month, Fang Su Jin was going to F Country for her first overseas exhibition. As her boyfriend, of course, Zhang Yi Hai wanted to show his support by being at her side.

However, before he could do that, there were a lot of things that he have to settle. Otherwise, it would be hard for him to catch up with his assignments.
