Mo Ziyan had a lot of admirers because she wasn't arrogant towards anyone. But, she was careful to keep her distance from the opposite sex, especially when Gu Qingli was around.
Gu Qingli was 30 years old and was the youngest professor at the university. He was elegant and elegant.
He always moved in slow motion, but Mo Ziyan loved how unhurried he was. In fact, this lasted for a few years.
From the moment she entered university, she had already noticed this man. Even after she graduated, she refused to leave because she wanted to have more chances to bump into Gu Qingli. But, Gu Qingli seemed to be isolated from the world and didn't get close to anyone.
She once wrote Gu Qingli a letter, but it was like a stone dropped into the ocean and she never heard from him again.
She assumed that Gu Qingli probably didn't like people like her, so he didn't even respond to her. Or perhaps, it was because there were too many people that liked him and he couldn't pay attention to them all.
But, being in a one-sided relationship for so long was tiring.
Especially when she saw that her brothers were already married and had two babies, she realized that no matter how much she liked Gu Qingli, if he didn't have any feelings for her, there was nothing she could do to force him.
"Ziyan, are you packing your things to go home?" one of her roommates asked as soon as she saw Mo Ziyan packing her things.
"Yes, it's more convenient to go home."
"Have you given up on Professor Gu?"
"Perhaps, he can only be a distant dream for me." After speaking, Mo Ziyan put on her backpack and left the dormitory with her books.
Because she was familiar with his lifestyle, she was able to bump into Gu Qingli whenever she wanted. The elegant man always arrived at the university at 8am and sat in the cafe for an hour.
He seemed to have a lot of suits. Mo Ziyan secretly counted and realized he had around 30 sets.
He liked to wear quartz watches and they were all expensive.
He was elegant and had an extraordinary way of speaking. No matter how she looked at him, he didn't look like a professor. He looked more like a leader of a company.
He was obviously elegant like a scholar, but he preferred to read science and engineering books.
One time, Mo Ziyan even caught a glimpse of the edge of his underwear. It was a luxury item from Italy that normal people couldn't afford.
But, no matter how familiar Mo Zixi was with him, there was no way she could attract his attention.
So, on this day, she decided to give up on this man and completely end this unrequited love …
As usual, Mo Ziyan sat by the window and watched as Gu Qingli arrived at school. As he sipped his familiar English coffee, his eyes were glued to his books. He was elegant and charming.
At noon, he would order a set meal and then slowly sit at his seat, not wasting a single grain.
At night, he would drive away from the school and return to his apartment not far from the school.
Mo Ziyan was well aware of this.
After lunch, Mo Ziyan picked up her backpack and stood up. At this time, a girl from the university approached Gu Qingli and handed him a love letter, "Professor Gu, please accept this."
Gu Qingli lifted his head and glanced at the two before he gently pushed them away, "Sorry, I'm already married."
As soon as she heard this, Mo Ziyan's heart throbbed in pain. Although she already guessed it, when she heard it from Gu Qingli's mouth, she still felt so sad that tears began to fall from her eyes.
Ever since she was young, she had always been envious of her parents' love. But, she knew that every relationship was unique.
Plus, she had no idea why she was poisoned by Gu Qingli and couldn't stop herself.
Now that Gu Qingli said that he was married, she could finally give up.
But, just as she was about to leave, the owner of the restaurant smiled and approached Gu Qingli, "Why do you keep saying that you're married?"
"Kids these days aren't mature enough. It's too easy for them to say that they like me. In reality, they simply care about my looks."
Hearing these words from Gu Qingli, Mo Ziyan's heart began to beat again. So, she gathered her courage and walked over to Gu Qingli, "Professor Gu, I've actually liked you for a long time."
Gu Qingli and the owner of the restaurant were both stunned.
"I've written you letters before, but I'm guessing you don't remember."
"Today, I'm preparing to leave the university. When I saw someone confessing to you, I decided to join in on the fun. Don't worry, although I like you, I've already decided to give up …"
"Professor Gu, I wish you the best."
After saying these words, Mo Ziyan turned around and walked out of the restaurant with her head held high.
At this time, the owner of the restaurant said to Gu Qingli, "I remember this child. She arrives every day after you arrive. It's been about 3 years."
Although Gu Qingli's body did not move, a ripple appeared in his heart.
Afterwards, he returned to his office and searched around for a long time. Finally, he found the yellowed love letter. Gu Qingli opened it up and realized that it had been written for 4 years.
What did it feel like to have a crush on someone for 4 years?
Gu Qingli didn't understand, but his impression of Mo Ziyan was that she was always optimistic and well-liked by the teachers and students. He never expected that this gentle girl would have a crush on him.
Especially after so many years …
…
After Mo Ziyan returned home, she threw herself into Tangning's arms and cried. She then held back her tears and decided to start working at Hai Rui the next day.
At least, without love, she still had her family.
Tangning's heart ached for her daughter. After all, Mo Ziyan didn't need anyone to worry about her since she was young. Mo Ziyan was able to plan her own life and didn't burden Tangning at all.
"Mommy, it's so tiring to have a crush on someone."
"My daughter is so outstanding, I'm sure she'll meet someone better," Tangning comforted as she patted Mo Ziyan on the head.
"Mommy … I'll sleep with you tonight."
"You'll have to ask your father," Tangning laughed.
Mo Ziyan simply wanted to act coquettishly, but she knew that Mo Ting wouldn't let her go. So, after wiping her tears away in Tangning's arms, she returned to her room and sealed everything about Gu Qingli.
But, to her surprise, just before she went to bed, she received a text from an unknown number. The words on the text once again threw her into disarray.
"I didn't see the letter."
Teachers all had their students' contact details, so Mo Ziyan wasn't curious. She simply couldn't believe it, so she asked, "Are you Professor Gu?"
"That's me," Gu Qingli replied quickly.
Mo Ziyan's heart raced like she had won the lottery.
"What should I say next? What should I say? "
