TVCEO Chapter 45.2

He thought that he had done a good job, but on the way back, he only received the question: “Do you know where you went wrong today?”

For him at that time, any doubt or denial could be a reason to be sent back to the orphanage. Chairman Qin’s casual remark could change the trajectory of his life. In an instant, fear and unease overwhelmed him.

“Your eyes are too easily seen through. That’s fatal.” Chairman Qin told him.

Since then, Su Zhengxing has worn glasses. He began learning how to block out outside prying eyes, becoming accustomed to observing and manipulating everything from behind his lenses. Over time, the glasses became a wall around his heart.

This was the first time someone had discovered his disguise, tearing down his barrier from the outside.

Something seemed to be pounding intensely in his chest. Shadows swayed under the streetlights. He reached out and grabbed Lin Qiao’s wrist, his Adam’s apple bobbing, his eyes flashing.

“Do you know the consequences of taking it off?”

His expression was deep. Lin Qiao thought that she had offended him by being too cocky.

She quickly apologized and tried to pull her hand away, “I’m sorry…”

Before she could finish her apology, an irresistible force pulled her forward abruptly. Lin Qiao lost her balance and almost fell into his chest.

She instinctively raised her head, her fair face slightly flushed from the cold wind, her long, damp eyelashes trembling nervously. Startled by the sudden closeness, Lin Qiao felt uneasy, her back stiffening, her ears burning.

Under the streetlights, swirling snowflakes danced in the moonlight, melting as they landed on her face.

Su Zhengxing’s deep eyes were fixed on her, a thin mist veiling his gaze, as if he were suppressing something. The pressure on his hand tightened little by little.

“I might…actually catch you.”

Reason told Lin Qiao that now was the perfect opportunity to make her move, but for some reason, she felt a pang of guilt, even afraid to look him in the eye.

She could only hastily pull her hand away, blurting out as if fleeing, “It’s too late. The dorm doors are closing. I have to go back!”

By the time she dashed into a taxi and arrived at the dorm building twenty minutes later, the dorm supervisor’s clock on the first floor was only striking eight.

It was Valentine’s Day, and many pretty girls in the dorm were just getting ready to leave.

Lin Qiao sighed wearily, thinking about the task deadline that still had more than a month to go, and for the first time, she worried that the time allotted was too long.

“Is it true that as long as you admit you love me, my task is complete?” She lowered her eyes, seemingly having made up her mind.

“Yes.” Su Zhengxing, in her consciousness, responded softly.

Even though he selfishly hoped that his real self could experience it for him for a longer time, Lin Qiao’s confirmation reminded him that what was fake was fake. Perhaps it was time to wake up from this dream.

…

In the final semester of their senior year, everyone was busy preparing for their future. Bai Mengying had rarely stayed in the dormitory since the end of last semester, Liang Xiaoyu was in Xianghai taking the entrance exam for Minghai University, and Ji Nian had been taken home by her parents to prepare for the teacher recruitment exam.

Lin Qiao expected to find an empty dormitory room waiting for her upstairs, but to her surprise, she found Bai Mengying sitting inside.

“Xiao Bai?”

Seeing Bai Mengying, Lin Qiao’s previously dejected mood instantly lifted. She excitedly ran over and gave Bai Mengying a bear hug.

“Xiao Bai, I missed you so much! You’re finally back! Waaaaah!”

Bai Mengying was almost breathless from Lin Qiao’s overly enthusiastic bear hug. She stroked her hair for a while before pulling her off, and smiled wryly, “I just haven’t lived in the dorm for a while. It’s not like I’m dead. Why are you so agitated?”

Lin Qiao clung to Bai Mengying’s arm, refusing to let go, and rested her head on Bai Mengying’s shoulder, acting spoiled: “I don’t care, I just miss you! These past few days, Ji Nian and Xiaoyu haven’t been here, so you have to stay with me!”
