Eight years ago, in the summer, she overcame numerous hardships to be admitted to S University, becoming her mother's pride.

Having arrived in S City alone, and having just completed the accommodation procedures for freshman year, I met the cheerful and talkative Lin Lan.

The two had similar personalities and got along well. Since Lin Lan was from the same city, she took extra care of Liu Sisi, so they quickly became good friends.

One day in June, she and several newly made classmates were invited to Lin Lan's birthday party. The girl, who grew up in a small town, was rather reserved and shy, and had never seen anything like it before.

Arriving at Lin Lan's lavish birthday party, Liu Sisi naturally felt a sense of novelty everywhere. She was particularly drawn to the exquisite and delicious food.

Just as she was hesitant to act, a sudden force pulled her towards the wall. Before she could even react, she heard Lin Lan introduce herself in a rather unconventional way...

"Brother, this is my new good friend from university, Liu Sisi. She's amazing, with excellent grades, hardworking, and a bit silly and adorable."

Staring blankly?!

Those four words made Liu Sisi wish she could disappear immediately. How could someone be so mean?

The girl, who was already shy, felt incredibly miserable after being described like that by Lin Lan, so she blushed unconsciously.

She steeled herself and glanced at the brother Lin Lan had mentioned. That one glance left a rather strong impression on her regarding Lin Xuedong.

Because he was very tall, she remembered that she was wearing flat cloth shoes at the time and had to look up to see his face.

He had fair skin, distinct features, and thick, dark eyebrows.

His eyes were deep and bright, with a touch of heroism.

He has a straight nose, thin and moist lips, and a gentle smile.

He had one hand in his trouser pocket, his posture was handsome and his demeanor elegant. He was probably the most handsome and stylish man she had ever seen in her life.

The usually shy Liu Sisi was nudged by Lin Lan, and she quickly snapped out of her daze. Her clear, pure eyes met Lin Lan's gaze, and she smiled. "Hello, I'm Liu Sisi, Lin Lan's classmate."

Lin Xuedong narrowed his deep eyes slightly, unconsciously scrutinizing himself, as if he were vetting Lin Lan. She straightened her back, put on a natural smile, and gazed at him confidently.

After a long pause, he finally extended his hand and said, "Hello, I'm Lanlan's older brother, Lin Xuedong. From now on, you can call me Big Brother, just like Lanlan does."

Good heavens! Is he... is he going to shake my hand?

Liu Sisi was momentarily at a loss, her heart racing. Her hands, hanging limply, unconsciously curled her fingers. She had never had physical contact with a man before, and felt a little uncomfortable.

However, the man possessed an innate air of gentlemanly refinement and elegant demeanor. His voice was gentle, and coupled with his handsome and dashing appearance, he had the charm to captivate anyone without any effort on his part.

She thought that shaking his hand wouldn't be a loss, and her heart couldn't help but flutter with desire.

But the girl's reserve suddenly overwhelmed him, so after a struggle, the latter ultimately prevailed.

She still wasn't comfortable interacting with strangers, especially men, particularly a handsome one.

"Hello Brother Lin, you can call me Sisi too." She didn't dare to extend her hand, but blushed and raised her hand to wave at him as a greeting.

Finally, not long after, she shamelessly found an excuse and dragged Lin Lan away.

After that, she didn't have much contact with Lin Lan's brother. But undeniably, his handsome image had deeply impressed her.

Which young girl doesn't dream of love? Liu Sisi didn't understand these things at the time because she had absolutely no experience in dating.

Therefore, it can only be attributed to a kind of celebrity-like emotion.

After Lin Lan moved into the dormitory at S University and became her roommate, Lin Xuedong had more opportunities to appear in front of him. He would often intentionally or unintentionally give Lin Lan things.

He often acts like a doting older brother, always trying to win people's hearts with his attentiveness.

Thanks to Lin Lan, she was occasionally invited out to dinner with him. She learned more about him as a result. It turned out that at such a young age, he already managed the entire Lin Group and was a well-known semiconductor chip expert in the country.

At that young age, she was full of youthful vigor and enthusiasm. Therefore, she naturally felt admiration for these young, accomplished, and inspiring figures.

She longed to learn from them, to absorb some lifelong lessons, because she herself was an excellent student, virtuous, studious, diligent, and ambitious.

About half a year passed. One day, Lin Lan sat down with her for a long talk. She seemed to be suppressing something in her heart, unable to find a way out, so she drank alcohol.

She said she had fallen in love with her brother, which shocked Liu Sisi. How could her sister be...dating her brother?

She was about to offer some advice, but to her surprise, Lin Lan gave her an even more absurd explanation.

It turns out they weren't siblings; Lin Lan and he had no blood relation whatsoever.

Liu Sisi couldn't remember how she felt at the time; perhaps she was quite disappointed? She didn't know why she was disappointed. Anyway, as a newcomer, she should focus on her studies and make the most of her youth.

So, from that moment on, she unknowingly became Lin Lan's listener, witnessing firsthand the deep and unspoken feelings between Lin Lan and Lin Xuedong.

In her sophomore year, thanks to Lin Lan's connections, she was fortunate enough to secure a summer job at Lin's company. The two of them also received personal instruction from Lin Xuedong.

The happiest person was Lin Lan, as she had greatly increased her opportunities to interact with her brother through work, and Liu Sisi was naturally happy for her.

Aside from work, she rarely had private contact or communication with Lin Xuedong. Then she met Zhou Zhichen, whose background and status were quite similar to hers. Zhou Zhichen was a top student, which greatly attracted her, so they hit it off immediately...

After graduation, both she and Zhou Zhichen officially joined Lin's Group through Lin Lan's connections, working in the marketing and promotion department.

From a naive and inexperienced young girl, she has transformed into a capable and mature professional. In the workplace, she has cultivated confidence, composure, ease, focus, clarity, diligence, and orderliness.

In professional matters, Lin Xuedong is indeed a good leader and a good boss. He gave himself a lot of space to focus on developing his talents.

The busyness of work and life caused her and Zhou Zhichen's feelings to fade. Perhaps neither of them had much time or energy to devote to their relationship, leading to their eventual separation due to a lack of understanding.

After that, she focused even more on her work. Her goal was to buy a property in City S and create a cozy little home for herself.

At the beginning of this year, she succeeded. Not only was she promoted to manager, but she also managed to save up for a down payment on a comfortable home in City S.

A wandering heart can finally settle down.

At the same time, she received a project contract from Yoshimoto in Japan, and was tasked with developing a marketing plan for the project. Because of this project, her interactions with Lin Xuedong suddenly increased again.

However, Lin Lan's matter was too deeply ingrained, so she didn't think about it too much.

She remained focused on her work as always, until one night in J country, when this man unexpectedly confessed his feelings to her...

That night, she was actually very nervous and scared.

Because Lin Lan and Lin Xuedong were both very important to her. She didn't want to hurt Lin Lan, and even less did she want to hurt Lin Xuedong.

Why wouldn't she want to hurt him? Because she could feel Lin Xuedong's sincere affection and the burning passion in his eyes.

After having a frank conversation with Lin Lan, he finally accepted her.

But this guy was clearly prepared. He proceeded step by step, using one trick after another, gently yet domineeringly winning over her heart and soul.

"Sisi, what's wrong? You have too many good points, can't think of them all?" Lin Xuedong couldn't help but tease her when he saw her staring blankly at the sea.

Upon hearing this, Liu Sisi flung his hand away, glared at him, and pouted, saying, "You have too many tricks up your sleeve! You bad guy!"

The woman, just emerging from her reverie, had slicked-back red lips. A hint of unease and doubt lingered in her eyes, but more than anything, a deep emotion stirred within her.

It turns out that he really had feelings for her from the very first glance.

For many years, they have been quietly helping me without my knowledge.

However, hadn't I also etched him into my heart at that very first glance?

"Hehe~, what's with all the 'tricks'? Can't you just talk normally? This is clearly a genuine pursuit." Lin Xuedong suddenly smiled, a confident glint in his eyes. "Tell me, when did I win your heart?"

"..." Liu Sisi blinked, suddenly feeling a pang of sadness, her eyes stinging and wanting to cry.

She couldn't figure out why, but her emotions just flared up.

You scoundrel! Could she really say that she also fell for him at first sight?

If I said that, he'd definitely smugly turn his nose in the air and keep mocking me for bullying him, right?

Liu Sisi took a breath, trying to sound intimidating. "You really want to know?"

"Yes, I really want to know." His eyes, as black and deep as obsidian, gazed at her quietly, a faint glimmer of light flashing in their depths. Because he wanted to know her feelings, to understand her thoughts, he cared about everything about her.

"Yes, maybe, I think so, but I'm not really sure." Her scalp tingled under his gaze, tears welling in her eyes. Not wanting to lie to him, she forced a smile. "Anyway, the feeling was pretty hazy back then."

"What is it?" he asked anxiously.

Liu Sisi paused, bit her lip, looking extremely naive, and stammered nervously. "It should be... that time, at Lanlan's birthday party, right?"

His mind raced, his brow furrowed slightly, recalling the events but not wanting to miss anything, so he asked again, "Which time?"

"Hey, you're so clumsy!" Liu Sisi scolded him, then stood up and brushed the sand off her clothes.

Just as he was about to walk away, Lin Xuedong grabbed his wrist. He swiftly raised his hand and brushed the dust off his trousers with one hand.

Then he turned her body around, raised his hand and lifted her chin, so they could gaze at each other. Actually, he had already guessed most of her hints. But though he was overjoyed, he still wanted her to confirm it with her own words.

His eyes shimmered as he stared into hers, his thin lips parted slightly, his breath coming in short gasps. He deliberately lowered his voice, making it very low and deep, with a seductive allure and an overwhelming, genuine desire. "Which time?"

Seeing the deep affection in his eyes, Liu Sisi was suddenly touched, and her eyes instantly filled with tears. She didn't want to cry, yet she couldn't muster any emotion. All she knew was that the muscles in her face seemed to be frozen in place, as if they weren't following her commands.

Both embarrassed and excited, she opened and closed her pink lips several times. "I... I think it was eight years ago..."

"Mmm..." Before she could finish speaking, Lin Xuedong hooked one arm around the back of her head and wrapped the other around her waist, then lowered his head and kissed her fiercely.

Is this fate? The girl he fell in love with at first sight became his wife many years later.

And she, just like him, had fallen for him at first sight.

How amazing is this?
