Moonlight falls into my arms

As expected, Jiang Yuci didn't eat with Ruan Li at noon; he actually went to the cafeteria instead.

Ruan Li felt even more upset.

She raised her hand and looked at the phone watch that Jiang Yuci had bought for her.

He bought it, the card was registered under his identity, the contacts on it were entered by him, and even the location was set by him personally.

She only had Jiang Yuci, but Jiang Yuci didn't only have her.

"Hey." Tan Yue brought the food into the lounge and saw that Ruan Li was eating only bland liquid food. She sighed for her, "Poor thing, eat up. When you get better, I'll take you out for a big meal."

"Hmm? What's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood?" Tan Yue touched the girl's forehead. "You don't have a fever, why are you looking so sickly?"

Ruan Li raised her eyes slightly: "When you liked Jiang Yuci, what were you thinking? What did you feel?"

The room quieted down for a moment.

Tan Yue thought about her question carefully.

"Yeah, I liked him the moment I saw him. I was thinking, 'Wow, how can there be such a handsome and outstanding man? If he had appeared in my student days, I would have had a crush on him for three years and pursued him for four, and I would have been willing to do so. Even if he didn't give me any response, I would still have liked him persistently."

"As for feelings... it just feels impossible." Tan Yue is quite realistic in this regard. "First, he is almost uninterested in all women. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who thinks only with his lower body and abandons reason once his lust is aroused. So no one has ever considered seduction. Later, when we found out that he had a first love in his heart, it felt even more impossible."

Tan Yue sighed, "I wonder who will end up with this unattainable beauty. I hope he stays single forever!"

Tan Yue gave a wicked smile: "That way, no one can have him, and everyone will feel balanced."

Ruan Li gave a stiff laugh: "Really, no one can win him over?"

Tan Yue looked at Ruan Li and said, "You don't understand your brother at all. Do you know how many admirers Dr. Jiang has had in just one year?"

Ruan Li narrowed her eyes and watched Tan Yue stretch out one hand, spread her five fingers, and then add another hand.

Spread out your ten fingers.

Ruan Li slowly replied: "Ten?"

It felt alright, not too much...

"Not just any number, I can't count them all."

Ruan Li: ......

"Isn't he known to have a bad temper and not talk to people much..."

Ruan Li suddenly wished that Jiang Yuci had a worse temper, so that only she would like him.

"Why do so many people like Jiang..." Ruan Li paused, the three words seeming to become a little hot to the tongue, and said, "Why are there so many people who like him?"

"You kids wouldn't understand, would you? First, Dr. Jiang's face is unbeatable; second, Dr. Jiang's abilities are unbeatable; third, Dr. Jiang's aloof and indifferent personality is simply the perfect husband!"

Ruan Li slowly processed her choice of words: "The...chosen...husband?"

Ruan Li was somewhat confused.

Shouldn't this kind of personality be unlikable? How did he become the chosen husband?

"Think about it. Everyone says he has a first love he can't forget. It's been so long, and he still likes her and only likes her. Moreover, he can completely ignore all the excellent suitors around him and remain devoted to her. This shows that he is truly a devoted and long-lasting husband who can completely resist external temptations."

Tan Yue became more and more excited as she spoke, almost rekindling her infatuation with Jiang Yuci. "Put yourself in Dr. Jiang's shoes, if I were the person he liked, I would have no regrets even if I died in this life. Such an extremely handsome man, a top genius, has loved only me for ten years, and has coldly and unhesitatingly rejected all other women who tried to climb up to him."

Tan Yue cupped her hands around her heart: "I simply can't refuse, I really can't refuse, no one, young or old, can refuse."

After Tan Yue finished speaking, she did not receive a response from Ruan Li, so she looked over.

The little girl hung her head dejectedly, poking the edge of the bowl with the spoon in her hand, one stroke after another.

"What's wrong with you?" Tan Yue suddenly realized that the girl in front of her was Dr. Jiang's sister. She suppressed her infatuation and said, "Don't talk about me in front of Dr. Jiang. I have my pride too."

Ruan Li gave a muffled "hmm".

She hasn't even figured out her own problems yet, so how could she talk about Tan Yue's affairs?

"Did you break up with your boyfriend?" Tan Yue asked, lifting her chin with her beckoning hand as she looked dejected. "Did the person you like make their relationship public?"

Ruan Li met her gaze, then slowly lowered her eyes again.

"He doesn't like me. He has someone he likes. I probably have no hope."

"Oh, that's terrible."

Tan Yue patted her head. "It's okay, you're still young. Wait a little longer, maybe you'll meet someone better."

Ruan Li looked up and suddenly looked at her very seriously: "Then tell me, what if I still like him after a few years?"

"A few years from now, too many things can change. Maybe he won't like that person anymore. You could try to pursue him," Tan Yue said, sticking out her tongue. "And then, like me, you'll be rejected."

Ruan Li: "......" It's better not to offer any comfort at all.

Tan Yue patted Ruan Li's shoulder solemnly, "Is he with the person he likes?"

Ruan Li shook her head: "The person he likes... can't be with him."

"Huh? The person he likes has a boyfriend. What are you still hesitating about? Go after her! They can't be together anymore, so why can't you go after her? It's not like it's against the rules or the law."

Ruan Li looked up at her, her eyes brightening slightly. "I can still go after her?"

“Why not? How do you know you can’t win her over if you don’t try?” Tan Yue said. “Besides, you’re still so young. Even if you can’t win her over, you can pursue her for a few more years. Think about it, if you pursue her for four years, you’ll only be 22. It’s not a big loss. Maybe you’ll get tired of her after a while and then you can like someone else.”

Ruan Li's lips twitched slightly: "Are you also tired of chasing after Dr. Jiang...?"

Tan Yue suddenly smiled and took out her phone to show Ruan Li: "Let me show you a male celebrity I recently discovered. Oh my god, he's so handsome. I heard he was the school heartthrob back in school and even debuted as a child star. There's so much footage of him when he was little. He was so cute as a child."

Ruan Li glanced at it casually, showing no interest, and then turned to think about her own affairs.

Yes, Tan Yue is right. So what if Jiang Yuci has someone he likes? They can't be together.

Why can't she give it a try?

"Um, I have something to do, you can take your time eating."

Ruan Li suddenly stood up and said goodbye to Tan Yue, who was looking at her idol's materials.

"Hey, bye-bye, you're off chasing after the person you like?" Tan Yue teased her.

Ruan Li pursed her lips. "Yes, thank you for today."
