Chapter 133: I Like You (4)  

“Shanshi, don’t think about it anymore,” Mayor Di discouraged his son, shaking his head. “The degree that would be awarded to you is not the same as studying on your own or being self-taught. Furthermore, going to college would open a lot of opportunities for you, even experiences. If you don’t go to college, you will be missing a lot of things and you will regret it when you get to be my age.”

A slightly bemused smile formed on Jing Zhichen’s lips.

He was a man, too.

He could guess what a shy boy like Di Shanshi was thinking.

He liked her.

However, Di Shanshi did have good taste.

“Di Shanshi. Are you sure? Are you confident that you will not regret this later on in your life? If you succeed, your life will be different from others. But...but what if you fail? Will you be resentful towards Tianxin for this? Or your father? Or yourself?”

Di Shanshi acted impulsively when he had said that earlier.

However, right now, even though he had already given it some thought, he said, “I won’t. This is my choice.”

Mayor Di, Jing Zhichen, and Ye Tianxin all looked at Di Shanshi. They saw a faint blush on Di Shanshi’s face.

“I know what you all are worried about. If you think that I am acting on impulse, I can tell you all with certainty that I am not.”

Ye Tianxin still tried to stop Di Shanshi. “Di Shanshi, you are just being impulsive,” she insisted. “Besides, even if your father agrees, your mother certainly won’t let you do it.”

Di Shanshi met Mayor Di’s gaze, “Dad, I am already an adult. I can take responsibility for my own actions...”

Mayor Di looked at the proposal he held in his hands and then looked at his son. His heart was wavering.

He knew clearly that if he could make the town of Jiameng into a tourist destination, his performance and popularity would increase significantly.

However, he also knew that he could not let his son do something like this.

This was his son.

This was his son who he had pinned high hopes on ever since he was a child.

“Give it some more thought. CEO Jing and Tianxin have already said that this is not urgent.”

Ye Tianxin and Jing Zhichen returned to the courtyard. Jing Zhichen gave Li Qingcang a call. He was excited to report to Li Qingcang what had recently transpired involving Ye Tianxin.

On the other side of the phone, Li Qingcang was currently attending a get-together and it was very noisy.

“Bro, you wouldn’t believe the important information I learned today!”

Li Qingcang covered his other ear and asked, “What is it?”

“There’s a boy who likes Tianxin...” Jing Zhichen said sentimentally. “I liked the prettiest girl in school when I was young, too. It was a pity that the girl did not like me back...”

Jing Zhichen knew very well that even though he and the prettiest girl in school did not end up together, the feeling of admiring someone would make one’s heart feel warm when one remembered it many years later. That feeling was something he had never felt again after he graduated.

“What happened after that?”

“That boy did not dare to confess to her!” Jing Zhichen thought about how Di Shanshi looked like. He was handsome and good-natured. Jing Zhichen also heard that Di Shanshi’s grades were pretty good and his father was also the town’s mayor. Di Shanshi was definitely popular town. “I have a feeling that more people will like Tianxin... I don’t know which man will be able to fend off so many rivals.”

“Tianxin is still young. Keep a close eye on her and don’t let her be cheated by those silly boys,” Li Qingcang instructed worriedly.

Jing Zhichen nodded.

A woman’s voice was suddenly heard from the other end of the line.

“Captain Li, I like you!”
