Ding Junhui looked up and exchanged glances with Wen Shan. He saw her reddened lips and pa.s.sed her a paper towel, gesturing for her to wipe the chili off her lips.

Wen Shan took the paper towel, thanked him and wiped her mouth.

“Dr. Ding, no.” Wen Shan shook her head. “You may still not have known me then. I knew you before I knew him, so there’s no possibility that I would love you at first sight, like I did with him. So, there was not a first come first serve basis in my relations.h.i.+p.”

Ding Junhui nodded and managed a bitter smile.

“Moreover, people like me are no match for you,” Wen Shan uttered. She lowered her head to continue eating. She felt her eyes become wet, and couldn’t decide if it was because of the hot peppers or other reasons.

Ding Junhui put down his chopsticks and looked at Wen Shan. “Since you can’t let it go, why did you?”

“Probably because his irritation is more hurtful than his refusal. If he refuses, I can work hard to make myself likable. But once he gets irritated, my persistence would only show how desperate and shameless I am,” Wen Shan uttered, sounding sorrowful. The spiciness in her mouth stimulated her taste buds and made her eyes watery. She looked up, trying to explain herself, “This dish is really spicy.”

Ding Junhui opened his mouth slightly but nothing came out. This time, he fully comprehended his status. He had lost completely.

He had lost before he had even begun.

He had lost without even knowing what his love rival looked like.

“May I know why you like him so much?” Ding Junhui asked, sounding dejected.

Why, indeed.

“First, his looks. Then, his intellect,” Wen Shan answered.

Ding Junhui thought of the photo of the man he saw after adding Wen Shan on WeChat. Finally, he said with a smile, “I admit defeat.”

“Nevertheless, congratulations on becoming a part of our team of lecturers. This meal is on me,” Ding Junhui said, sighing softly. “I live opposite you, so you can always look for me if you need help.”
