She Said She Didn't Like Me

Li Yu, who had been single for 23 years, once told a friend that she wanted to try a different kind of life.

Zhou Xiannian happened to overhear. After her friend left, he walked toward Li Yu step by step, his voice almost like a hook as he asked, “Do you want to make that wish come true?”

Li Yu was still half dazed.

“My name is Zhou Xiannian. I’m 24, a second-year graduate student in the School of Economics, 184 centimeters tall, and weigh 76 kilos. I’ve been working out for over five years, so I have a little muscle definition. I’ve run two full marathons and two half-marathons. As you can see, I’m fairly pale. I don’t have tattoos, I don’t smoke, I’m healthy, and I’m pretty respectful of people.”

Li Yu felt her face growing hot as she listened. Then he added:

“Oh, right. I forgot to mention that I’ve never been in a relationship.”

After introducing himself, he looked at her with his deep, dark eyes and asked, “Would I do?”

And so the two of them found a certain degree of physical compatibility...

Only later did she learn that he had approached her step by step, intending to claim her under the pretext of being friends with benefits. When Li Yu realized she was becoming dependent on him, she decisively called it off, only to find herself unexpectedly pregnant.

Of course Li Yu didn’t want the child, and she told him, “Zhou Xiannian, we can’t get married.”

He replied coldly, “Fine, as long as you’re willing to have the child.”

Li Yu wouldn’t let anything get in the way of her plans. In a low voice, she said, “All right.”

If having the child could buy her freedom, then she was willing.
