"He ... he is not..."
"Thank you."
Just as Jasmine is about to explain, Pehry ends the conversation on "Thank you."
Then Pehry pulls her to leave, and the vendor can only watch them leave with envy.
They walk out of the street, away from the noisy crowds. But they have to cross a quiet alley to return
to the car.
The small pendant looks cute just now, but now Jasmine feels a little annoyed with it. When there is no
one else, she walks faster to catch up with Pehry and then grabs his arm.
Pehry stops and turns to look at her. "What's wrong?"
After letting out a deep breath, Jasmine finally works up the courage. She says seriously, "Pehry, we
need to have a serious conversation."
It is quiet at the midnight and there is no one else in the alley. Even Pehry is dumbfounded when she
suddenly says this.
"Conversation?" He chuckles and looks around perfunctorily. "Here?"
Jasmine, however, thinks it's a good place. She has to make it clear to Pehry. She can't wait any
longer.
"Yes."
Noticing her determined expression, Pehry nods, "OK, you go."
With his consent, Jasmine takes a deep breath, collects herself, and says calmly, "I feel our relationship
is getting abnormal."
"What's wrong?"
"All is not right," Jasmine says resolutely. "First of all, I'm not your girlfriend, and you're not my
boyfriend. We should keep a distance from each other. You shouldn't kiss me just now. Besides, you
disturbed me when you honked your horn at my dormitory tonight. I don't want to get involved in
anyone's matters. I just need a normal life."
Pehry doesn't deny it. Instead, he says bluntly, "I'm indeed hitting on you."
Jasmine is overwhelmed. She doesn't feel happy at all. She feels so uneasy that she wants to retreat.
She is very annoyed with him around as if he is a time bomb.
He is a tough one to figure out. Not to mention being chased, she doesn't even dare to have any
connections with him. She just wants to stay away from him.
She can't afford to be with this man.
Thinking of this, Jasmine is very sure that she has to refuse. So, she says, "Stop. I don't deserve you,
and you are not my type. We can't be together."
However, Pehry becomes more interested. "What do you not like about me?"
Jasmine doesn't expect him to be so inquisitive. She doesn't have time to think of an excuse, but says
honestly, "You and I are different. We come from different worlds. Your ideas are alien to my way of
thinking."
Pehry smiles, "Don't think too much. It's a total cliché."
Jasmine has expected him to refute in this way, but she still thinks she is right. "Perhaps you think I'm
weird, but that's what I am. You will meet a girl who likes you, so don't waste time on me."
Pehry gets angry. He says with his evil smile, "I can do whatever I want with my time."
"But you have bothered me. I don't like it, and I won't agree to be with you." What Jasmine hates the
most is that Pehry always ignores others' feelings. "Perhaps you can get anything you want, such as
money, status, and beautiful women. But I am at the start of my life. I must work hard. I don't have time
to waste. Actually, you don't love me at all. Life is so easy for you that you feel bored and use me as a
nice vacation from it. Please do me a favor. Stop torturing me under the banner of pursuit. Many people
want to have fun with you. I really can't afford it."
Jasmine is quite honest. Recently, she feels nervous as if she walks on eggshells every day. Pehry
hasn't gone too far, but she is afraid for no reason as if she has gotten some pretty serious demons
because of Pehry. Every time she sees him, she panics.
Perhaps it is because their encounter is also very strange. Jasmine can't let her guard down with him.
The night breeze passes by Pehry's ears. But he feels quite hurt.
Vacation?
Torture?
Fun?
He has never expected himself to be like this for her. It's his first time to pursue a girl in more than thirty
years. Pehry thinks it is only a matter of time before he gets her heart.
But now, it seems that he has overestimated himself.
To Jasmine, he may be no different from the bastard that bullies the young girls in the law program.
Pehry has never thought why he chases after her. Maybe he just wants to see her embarrassed.
But why does he feel so uncomfortable when she refuses?
It is a sobering reminder to him. The enthusiasm soon becomes tempered.
That sudden halt makes him very unhappy.
Hearing her words, Pehry's immediate reaction is he feels unhappy.
Jasmine looks at the tall figure in front of her. Although Pehry is still smiling, she is getting a very
powerful vibe from him, which makes her retreat spontaneously.
After a long while, Pehry moves closer to her, and his body is almost pressing against hers. "How do
you know I'm just having fun? Are you sure that I'm not serious?"
Jasmine clenches her hands tightly and gathers the courage to look up at him. "Yes, I'm sure."
Pehry narrows his eyes slightly. Suddenly, he feels a strong emotion, but he soon regains his self-
control, and then says, "What if I say yes?"
Yes?
Stiffened, Jasmine asks, "What do you mean?"
"I'm serious." Pehry notices that she wants to dodge, so he presses on the back of her neck and pulls
her over. They are so close that she can feel his warm breath. He lowers his head and whispers to her,
"I don't go to all this trouble just for fun. Be my girlfriend."
His words shocked both Jasmine and himself.
He just blurts out without thinking.
Pehry is shocked by himself.
What does this mean?
Is this reflect how he really thinks?
