A Love Deep and Far-Reaching

When I got my acceptance letter from Nantai, I wanted to be the first to share the good news with Pei Hengzhi. His bedroom door was ajar, and I could hear his phone on speaker.

“I only saw Liang Tiaotiao’s name on the admissions list. Yours wasn’t there, was it?”

Pei Hengzhi had a cigarette between his lips as he replied unhurriedly, “I didn’t even apply. I’m planning to join a pro team and play esports.”

“You’re really fine with leaving that girl alone in a place where there are more wolves than meat?”

His fingers danced over the keyboard. He gave a derisive laugh. “If you’re that worried, why don’t you go win her over?”

His dismissive attitude left my mind utterly blank. I clutched the acceptance letter, unable to take another step.
