I Like You

Blurb:

1. At the Ji residence, he is the pampered young master, noble and aloof, with a lofty air. She is the gardener's daughter, low in status and living under someone else's roof.

At school, he is the idol at the very top of the social ladder, while she is a well-behaved girl who's ordinary in every way except her looks and grades.

A classmate asks curiously, "Don't you like Ji Yun?"

On a stuffy afternoon, in a cramped space, the boy wraps his arms around Mu Qing, drenched from head to toe. His strained voice is rough as old film: "Say you like me..."

"..."

The girl presses her lips tightly against the boy's cool tongue and refuses to let go.

2. Years later, they meet again by chance.

She is a renowned architectural designer whose reputation is on the rise. He is the wealthy client representing the brand.

The man deigns to visit Mu Qing's company. Her boss pulls Mu Qing aside in private, despite her notorious reputation for beauty. "Go plead with him. I heard you two used to be very close."

Unwilling to put her boss in a difficult position and wanting even more to save face for the company, Mu Qing visits Ji Yun's company again and again to make her presence known.

Later, she somehow hears that Ji Yun likes the innocent, delicate type, and takes the opportunity to push another beauty from her company his way.

A week later, Ji Yun comes looking for her. He grabs her slender wrist, his gaze unreadable. "Miss Mu, do you just love playing matchmaker? What if I said I liked you?"

Mu Qing hesitates for a moment, then decides to sacrifice herself for the greater good. She takes off her coat, only to hear the man mock her scornfully: "How old are you? You think I'd be interested?"

3. A summer breeze blows through the corridor as rain patters on the banana leaves. The man's long, clean fingers slip through Mu Qing's hair and caress her soft, lovely lips. He lowers his head to brush them with a kiss, his voice barely holding back his feelings. "Be good and tell me you like me, okay?"

A sweet story of secret love and a regretful chase to win her back!
