Chapter 2 Falling for Him
The way Pei Yuchuan and I got together was pretty ordinary.
While studying abroad, I fell for him at a mixer.
Then I chased him relentlessly.
Pei Yuchuan was cold and distant.
It took me a full six months to get close.
The day I confessed, he reached up, removed his Cochlear Implant, and held it out to me.
"I have congenital hearing loss. Are you sure you want to be with me?"
I stood there, frozen.
He looked as though he expected rejection, smiled bitterly, and turned to leave.
I grabbed him.
"I'm sure."
I didn't care about his hearing.
I really liked him.
I looked up and repeated firmly.
"Can we date, Pei Yuchuan?"
He stopped.
His gloomy eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes."
Pei Yuchuan was inexperienced in love but learned fast.
He went from not understanding girls to reading me perfectly.
From bad kisses to leaving me breathless and weak in the knees.
I clung to him, feeling his firm abs through his shirt.
I swallowed hard.
My attraction to Pei Yuchuan was mostly physical.
Every time I got close, I wanted to explore more.
But for some reason, he always held back.
Even when he was clearly aroused and burning hot, he never crossed the line.
Everything changed on Christmas.
