The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

It started from lining up, from strolling around campus, from the conferring of diplomas, from glimpsing her cloud-like radiant smile among thousands upon thousands of people... At that moment, she stood on stage, amidst the crowd, within this vast cosmic dust... blooming brilliantly like a rose.

In a trance, more than a decade had passed.

Just like when the breeze first tousled her hair, a brief encounter that came hurriedly.

As he stood there, his heart merely beat.

I fear time moves too quickly, leaving no time to take a closer look at you.

I fear time moves too slowly, wishing for hair to turn white instantly, making this moment eternal.

In the distance, there was a rushing sound.

It was the uproar caused by her beauty, the eve before graduation, countless boys flocked to her, admiring her world-saving beauty, taking photos, cherishing memories, chatting and laughing, stars encircling the moon...

Someone ran over, exclaiming happily, "Yan..."

"Yan, we’ve been looking everywhere for you, what are you doing hiding here? Come quickly for the group photo..."

"Yan Xixi..."

Following the shout, everyone looked over.

She leaned against the street tree at that moment, the sunlight filtering through the leaves, showering her fair face, her entire visage seemed brushed with natural crimson...

It was an exquisitely meticulous beauty—more lustrous than white crystal, warmer than the finest jade, like the weather in May and June, like the blooming trees one by one.

She stood there brightly.

Suddenly, it became a bit quiet beside her.

Perhaps for the first time, those around noticed this fleeting understated beauty—at that moment, all their gazes shifted from the beauty and curiously fixated on her.

It turns out, within this campus full of hidden talents, there exists such ultimate beauty.

Sufficient to overshadow all superstar actresses on the Cannes red carpet.

However, she was still clad in the black and red robe, wearing the hat symbolizing highest wisdom and honor... Academic excellence is not pejorative; only with high intelligence can one have an exceptional life.

Beauty depreciates most easily, day by day assets plummet. Yet wisdom incrementally grows in an unseen manner. In this world, there are indeed many things that surpass beauty.

Even the man standing opposite: so upright, so composed, even amidst a world dominated by Westerners, his bearing and demeanor stand out, even tired and thin cannot conceal the gentle aura brought by sheer joy.

In the vast misty sea, in his eyes, only she existed.

"Yan..."

They stopped.

For she was not looking at anyone else, only looking at the person opposite her—not because of this summer weather, yet in her eyes, slowly welled up with sweat.

She was overjoyed.

However, she couldn’t express this delight: like a lonely child, you turn around, seeing a companion waiting at the spot.

He gazed at her.

She gazed at him too, her eyes hazy.

The distance between them always remained three meters.

They stood like that, by and by.

The mountain from afar shows color, the water nearby sounds silent, with spring passing, flowers remain, people visit without startling birds.

Just like a black and white landscape painting, time completely freezes all emotions, transforming into a faint memoir, henceforth, uninvolved with romance.

Just like that unexpected encounter in the college campus back then, just like the accidental meeting at the company interview... He had always been on the road to find her—
