Shi Xuan originally thought the coffee would cost at most one or two hundred dollars. However, after riding for almost half an hour to the specified coffee shop, she was shocked to learn the price. A small cup of coffee was so expensive it would almost drain her entire month’s pocket money.
After half a year, she and he had only reached first base, holding hands just once – and that was because she almost stepped in dog poop, and he kindly pulled her hand to warn her.
Then she couldn’t bear to wash her hand for two days.
He did not have any special intimacy with her, nor was he cold and distant, treating her just like he treated others—warm and easygoing. But this was not what Shi Xuan wanted. She did not want to be just another person; she wanted to be the most special person in his heart, occupying the most important position—a throne she coveted.
Indeed, the person who made her fall in love at first sight—the more she got to know An Zhang, the more Shi Xuan found herself liking him. His character and talent were beyond reproach. Such a man made her even more determined to pursue him.
However, in order to pursue him, she had spent all her monthly allowance before the end of each month for the past half year. So when the elegant prince said—
“That piano performance was excellent, definitely worth listening to.”
Her two sharp, spirited eyebrows furrowed.
“Shi Xuan, would you like to go together?”
“Which…” She hesitated, conflicted. Rarely did the prince invite her, and she naturally wanted to go, but she had no money to buy tickets. Moreover, she knew that tickets for world-class pianist concerts were usually not cheap. Her wallet was embarrassingly empty.
“You don’t want to go? What a pity. I just happen to have two VIP tickets…” Before he could finish, Shi Xuan suddenly grabbed his arm.
“Oh, what? You have tickets? Why didn’t you say so earlier? I’ll go, I’ll go, I’ll go.” Shi Xuan’s small face lit up, eagerly hugging his arm, her bright eyes sparkling with joy.
A barely perceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he said with an elegant voice, “Okay, let’s go together tomorrow.”
“What time should I come find you?” she asked happily.
