Chapter 82: Red Thread is All Messed Up (2)

  "Isn't it possible?" Pei Zhengmin looked aside at the lawn, his voice extremely soft, as if he was extremely afraid to know the result. He asked cautiously, but in his heart, he was extremely anxious.

  "No." I shook my head, trying to soothe his unease, and after a moment's thought, gave an extremely honest answer, "This... is very sudden..."

  "It's okay, I don't need you to answer right away, it's fine if you respond in a few days...". Bae Jung-min suddenly raised his voice, his eyes became evasive for a moment before returning to normal. He glanced at the display on his phone and said, "It's getting late, let's go have breakfast."

  I stiffly nodded and followed him onto the car, feeling like the atmosphere between us had become somewhat strange and unnatural. The conversation was so awkward that it almost made me lose my desire to speak. Suddenly, a question flashed through my mind, I pulled on his sleeve to get his attention, Bae Joong-pyo stopped looking at the scenery outside the window, he looked at me with a big question mark in his eyes.

  "Bae Jung-min, how did you end up here?" This question still makes me curious. St. Edward's College isn't a place just anyone can get into. I'm considered to have gotten in through the back door, and if it wasn't for having such a capable father, I wouldn't have been able to get in even with excellent grades.

  The man I stared at, Bae Joong-min, couldn't help but cough a few times, his face gradually turning red. The morning sunlight shone into the car and onto him, reflecting a faint golden glow. He pursed his lips, and slowly opened them to say, "This is a family decision, do you know about BEA Group? This is our family business."

  "Is BEA Group doing chemical engineering?" This name is seen at least three times a day, on large street billboards, high-priced advertisements during prime time, and online search rankings. The popularity of BEA is very wide.

  Bae Jung-min nodded, continuing to say, "At first, I was thinking of transferring after another year, but when I heard you were taking the transfer exam for St. Edward's, I decided to transfer immediately."

  The implication of this sentence is that he transferred schools for me, and I was very curious when he started liking me, so I blurted out the question, "Then...when did you start liking me?"

  At this critical moment, he actually became shy again, deliberately not looking over here, with one elbow leaning on the car window, his line of sight fell to the farthest place, his face red and unfocused as he stared at the scenery outside the window.
