Chapter 1307: She Wanted to Give It a Shot
She took a deep breath and retracted her intense gaze.
She didn’t know what was wrong with her but ever since she met him, she found it harder and harder to control her emotions.
She looked at the unfinished steak in her plate, cut another piece, and stuffed it into her mouth.
“Xiyan…” Yang Jing could tell that her friend was infatuated with that man. “Let me tell you something. A man as handsome as he is would have many admirers and even I must admit that I’ve taken a liking to him myself. However, you shouldn’t try to court him because it will make you look cheap,” she added.
He Xiyan smiled awkwardly at Yang Jing’s words and stuffed another piece of steak into her mouth.
Nonetheless, she couldn’t control herself and would turn to sneak looks in his direction.
He was clad in a black tweed jacket and black pants which made him look more mature than his age. His outfit made him look cool and aloof.
She guessed that his gentlemanly and elegant air probably stemmed from his good upbringing.
A small smile danced on her lips as she let her imagination run wild.
Yang Jing clocked her expression and her actions.
She felt speechless as she looked at her friend who seemed so utterly infatuated that she was probably not going to be able to pull herself out of it at all.
“Xiyan, let’s finish up soon. We’ve got classes in the afternoon,” Yang Jing reminded her.
He Xiyan mechanically stuffed food into her mouth but the steak seemed tasteless to her.
“Jing Jing…” she sat as she suddenly looked up at her friend, a faint blush staining her cheeks. She paused for a moment before she said, “His name is Mo Yixuan and he’s our senior from the business school.”

“Oh!” Yang Jing froze for a brief moment. She hadn’t expected He Xiyan who had been so unwilling to speak earlier to suddenly introduce the handsome man to her. She listened intently to her friend. After all, every girl would have a soft spot for handsome men and she was no different.
“He is very outstanding and used to study at Harvard. He had only transferred to our campus the year before but I don’t know what’s the reason behind this transfer,” He Xiyan told her friend all she knew about this man.
Yang Jing laughed awkwardly.
“He sounds amazing. Do you like him?”
He Xiyan nodded without a second’s hesitation this time.
“Yes…” she said as she bit her lips. It was love at first sight for me and I can’t explain it myself, but I immediately took out my drawing materials and sketched his face,” she said. Then, she took a deep breath and blushed furiously.
Yang Jing shrugged and looked at He Xiyan in astonishment.
No way! She would have never imagined that He Xiyan was the sort of person who would experience love at first sight. She had always thought that all He Xiyan cared about were her studies and ways to make money.
“Don’t tell me you’re planning to court him?” Yang Jing exclaimed in surprise.
If she were to be in He Xiyan’s shoes, she would never take the initiative to court a man and would only admire him from afar. She didn’t think a relationship would last if the girl made the first move.
He Xiyan looked up at the ceiling and her eyes shone with an innocence and boldness that only young women would have.
She thought for a moment before she finally nodded.
“I’d like to give it a shot because I don’t want to live with regrets!”
Yang Jing didn’t know how to react.

The Girl He Used To Know - An UnderCurrent Story
Pierre Havelock is an author, atleast now he is. In truth 3 decades ago Pierre was dragged across space & time only to land on our boring old earth.So when one of his 'characters', a girl based on someone he once knew in his past life, appears before him - Pierre is less than best pleased. He is even less happy when said girl decides to make his house her new home! __Now on Royal-Road! ‘The Girl he Used To Know’ began life when I came across a rather silly prompt on a web-novel site I was using; "Theme: My 2D waifu is now my real life Valentine's!?"Well with a title like that I couldn’t help but be interested by the idea of leaving my usual writing niche and trying something a bit more novel. Tying it loosely back to my main series ‘UnderCurrent’, ‘GUK’ was born as a standalone romance novella which you are now holding, styled with Japanese tropes in mind from a more western perspective.I hope you will find this to be an interesting and fun read - Designed with the intent of being a somewhat contemplative and ‘cosy’ story - Whatever the case I thank you for picking it up and giving it a once over.- Momentie __I adapted Draft 2 to audio - I can't voice act, or edit, yet I kinda like it & find it personally the best way to enjoy the story😂 - https://youtu.be/kNWiSiZU53U
