Chapter 102 Conquer Me
"Why should I agree to this?" Lu Yuan felt Xia Anqi had become unreasonable. "I don't like you, so why should I date you?"
"Waaaaah~"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Anqi burst into tears, feeling wronged. "How could you not like me? What's wrong with you?"
Her crying grew louder and louder, and Lu Yuan was truly afraid of her, worried that such a commotion would be discovered by others and things would get messy.
"Alright, alright, stop crying."
"No, if you don't agree, I'll cry."
No matter how much you cry, I won't agree to it.
Why?
Seeing that crying was useless, Xia Anqi simply stopped crying, her tears immediately disappeared, and she began to question him seriously.
Lu Yuan truly admired Xia Anqi's ability to change her expression.
Crying must be her biggest weapon, because everyone around her spoils her and can't stand to see her cry. Over time, she has learned that crying can get her almost everything she wants.
"First, because I don't know you well, I don't have any feelings for you. Romantic relationships are based on attraction, so you have to have at least one thing about you that makes my heart flutter before I'd even consider dating you, right?"
Lu Yuan said very seriously. After listening, Xia Anqi thought for a moment and said, "Am I not pretty? I'm definitely prettier than Ye Yixian, right?"
"In terms of appearance, you are indeed superior, but a pretty face is not enough to make me fall in love," Lu Yuan explained.
Actually, Ye Yixian is quite good-looking now that she's recovered. It's just that she doesn't have the refined气质 (qi zhi, a kind of elegant and sophisticated air) of girls like Xia Anqi and Xu Lingjing.
Lu Yuan then said, "Secondly, since you already know I'm going to date Ye Yixian, why are you still interfering? Don't you think that's incredibly unethical?"
"Hmph! How am I being immoral?" Xia Anqi didn't think she had done anything wrong at all, and argued vehemently, "I didn't hurt Ye Yixian, I just confessed to you. Can you take away my right to want to date you? Or are you and Ye Yixian already together, planning to get married after the college entrance exam?"
Xia Anqi's continuous questioning caught Lu Yuan off guard.
It is indeed Xia Anqi's freedom to like whomever she wants and to date whomever she wants.
Lu Yuan, of course, hasn't made any real progress with Ye Yixian either. To this day, they remain in a state of being more than friends but less than lovers.
Lu Yuan could certainly be braver and just hug Ye Yixian, give her a kiss, and ask her to be his girlfriend; she definitely wouldn't refuse.
But that would be too hasty.
The more Lu Yuan cared about Ye Yixian and the more he wanted to be with her forever, the more he would care about the opportunity to establish a relationship with her.
Love is a wonderful thing; when two hearts resonate with each other, love is born.
Otherwise, if a relationship is established based solely on a superficial "I love you," the romance will most likely fizzle out once the novelty wears off.
Lu Yuan pulled himself back to reality and looked directly at the unreasonable Xia Anqi, saying, "Xia Anqi, stop making a scene, okay?"
"I'm not kidding, I'm serious. Ask yourself honestly, don't you like me at all? I'm so pretty, and my grades are so good, lots of boys like me."
"Since so many guys like you, why don't you choose one of them as your romantic partner?"
Lu Yuan didn't doubt Xia Anqi's charm; he was simply curious.
Xia Anqi curled her lip and said disdainfully, "They have no ability to conquer me."
"To conquer you?"
Lu Yuan became interested and wanted to hear how he could win over Xia Anqi.
Xia Anqi explained, "The man I marry in the future must be better than me. It could be in terms of knowledge, ability, or character. In short, he must be someone I can truly admire."
So, you mean there's something about me that you truly admire?
Lu Yuan was quite pleased with himself, but Xia Anqi's answer poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "No."
"What do you mean? One minute you say you want to date me, the next you say I don't have any qualities that will convince you. Aren't you contradicting yourself?" Lu Yuan felt like he had been played.
Xia Anqi calmly explained, "You don't have it yet. But I... I feel you will in the future."
"What do you mean?"
"Um... for example, what you told me last time, about learning knowledge beyond the textbook. Nobody ever tells me that, not even my teachers or family. They always tell me that I just need to thoroughly understand the textbook and study hard for the exams."
"Also, you don't seem to respect me at all, at least not when it comes to studying. I don't see any respect from you."
Lu Yuan scratched his head, puzzled, and asked, "Why should I submit to you?"
"Look, isn't that it?" Xia Anqi pointed at Lu Yuan and explained, "That's the feeling. Even though your grades are clearly not as good as mine, you're still not convinced. Even Zhang Xueling has to give me some respect because he knows my strength and is afraid I'll use my grades to hurt him. Only you exude an aura of overestimating your own abilities."
"An overconfident attitude? Is that a compliment?" Lu Yuan wasn't quite sure.
This further confirms that Xia Anqi's brain circuits are different from those of ordinary people.
That's why he's called the most talented student in the history of Jiangcheng No. 1 High School. This strange brain circuit really does give off a genius vibe.
After all, the difference between a genius and a madman is just a matter of a single thought.
"In short, to sum it up," Xia Anqi didn't want to explain further, "For a moment, I felt that you were a very different person, and with such great progress in such a short time, you must have a bright future. Maybe one day you can really win me over, so I want to date you."
Lu Yuan was finding it hard to keep up with this young girl's advances.
If she continues to argue so logically and persuasively, I might end up being brainwashed.
So Lu Yuan shook his head and said seriously, "Xia Anqi, you're not really looking for someone to date; you're just competing."
"Why should I argue? Who am I arguing with?" Xia Anqi said dismissively.
"You're fighting with yourself. You just don't want to admit that you were a step behind me in the second mock English exam. You attribute your loss of two points to something you lack compared to me, and you attribute my perfect score to my relationship with Ye Yixian."
Ultimately, you fell into a misconception, mistakenly believing that your imperfect performance in this exam was because you weren't in a relationship.
At this point, Xia Anqi immediately interrupted, emphasizing, "I'm not dating you, Lu Yuan."
"..." Lu Yuan was speechless for a moment before continuing, "In the end, this is just your wishful thinking, a guess without any logic or basis. Moreover, you confessed to me rashly without knowing me. This behavior is irresponsible to me and even more irresponsible to yourself."
"This is the result of my careful consideration, how is that irresponsible? I know what I'm doing." Xia Anqi remained firm in her belief, "It's precisely because I don't understand love right now that I need to date. How will I know how far the road is if I don't take the first step? If you want to know the taste of rice, you have to cook it into a finished product."
"You have a reasonable argument, but as I said, this is just your wishful thinking. What you believe is unfounded."
"You're not a fish, how can you know the fish's joy? You haven't dated me, so how do you know we wouldn't be better off together?" Xia Anqi said confidently with a smile. "I'm better than Ye Yixian, dating me would definitely be better than dating her. As the saying goes, practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. I think we're not suitable for dating, but I think we're very compatible. How can we know if we're right for each other without trying and experiencing it?"
Xia Anqi is indeed a top student; she speaks with great eloquence.
Lu Yuan was speechless and didn't want to continue arguing with a girl whose mind wasn't mature enough, so he said, "Alright, I don't want to play along with you anymore. I'm going back to my evening study session. Goodbye."
"Wait a minute."
Xia Anqi quickly ran over, spreading her arms to block Lu Yuan's path, and said defiantly, "You can leave, but you have to accept my love letter, otherwise I'll keep bothering you. Do you believe I'll tell the whole school tomorrow that you're my boyfriend?"
"You're hurting the enemy a thousand while losing ten thousand of your own. Why bother?" Lu Yuan said in despair.
"I don't care, just take it!"
She handed the exquisite pink envelope to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan knew that if he didn't accept it, he wouldn't be able to shake her off tonight.
Receiving a love letter doesn't mean you accept her confession.
After figuring it out, Lu Yuan reluctantly accepted it.
Xia Anqi finally turned her anger into joy and smiled happily, "Okay, then I'll go back."
She returned with a beaming smile, as if a great wish had been fulfilled. She exuded ease and left with light steps, occasionally glancing back at Lu Yuan.
