“Wei who?” At that time, she was tracking drug smuggling news and didn’t hear clearly.
“Wei Zhanyi.”
Her fingertips hovering over the keyboard suddenly trembled.
“Oh, Wei Zhanyi.” She whispered softly, her heart aching.
Yu Jingwei’s question was like forcibly pulling memories from the depths of her mind.
“You two didn’t break up, right?” She asked strangely.
“Me and him? Break up?” She turned around. “How could you connect me with Wei Zhanyi?”
“Because he was the one who nominated you initially! He used a series of interviews to exchange for your qualification to take the exam.”
She was stunned. “Are you saying this overseas study opportunity was arranged by him?”
“No, no, no. He nominated you to take the exam, but he had no right to influence the results. In fact, you scored first in the written exam, but looked too fierce during the oral exam and dropped to fourth place. Your coming here has nothing to do with him.”
She slowly turned back to her desk, hearing this news with surprising calmness.
Calculating the time, when he proposed the nomination, she hadn’t even awakened yet, not knowing how to move forward together. But he had already insightfully laid the groundwork for everything she needed.
While wanting to protect her with domineering means, he also recognized he couldn’t keep her by his side, so he made this arrangement.
Using his interviews to exchange her exam opportunity. For her, he was willing to sell himself out…
“What’s wrong?” Yu Jingwei saw her in a daze and asked nervously.
“Nothing.” She smiled. “After all, Wei Zhanyi understands me best! If you’d told me this in my first year in America, I would have rushed back to argue with him, loudly telling him I don’t want his charity.”
The first year was the hardest, with various life setbacks almost crushing her, grinding away her edges.
“If you’d told me this in my second year, I wouldn’t have immediately flown back to protest, but I would have resented him for life.”
Yu Jingwei nervously asked, “And now?”
“Not angry, not resentful. Here, I’ve found my career ideal.”
“But I’ve never heard you two communicating.”
“Because we never communicated! I love him, he loves me, but we’re not dating.”
