Three years ago,on the university confession wall,I saw Ethan Johnson at first sight.
I immediately declared,"I want him to be my boyfriend!"
My roommate leaned over to take a look and shook her head.
"Emma,wake up.This is Ethan Johnson."
"So what about Ethan Johnson?"
"So far,he hasn't paid any attention to any of the girls who confessed to him.He's addicted to studying and part-time jobs.Although his family background isn't very good,he's at the top of every course in school,and he's won so many scholarships.I heard that he's also starting a business with his classmates."
My roommate counted on her fingers for me.
"More importantly,he has a childhood friend who is a campus belle—Senior Amelia Thompson."
"Emma,give up."
I refused.
I,Emma,was known for being headstrong.
First,I had someone go and inquire about him.After repeatedly confirming that Amelia and Ethan weren't in a relationship,I grabbed a freshly bought milk tea and rushed to the basketball court.
Ethan was playing basketball with his classmates.His 185-cm height made him stand out in the crowd,and there were a bunch of girls surrounding him.
With a beautiful three-point shot,sweat slid down his neatly chiseled jaw.
I heard my heart pounding.
Just as I opened my mouth,I heard—
"Ethan Johnson,I like you!"
"Huh?Why is there someone stealing my lines?"
"Ethan Johnson,I bought you milk tea!"
"Huh?There's someone stealing my job too?"
I couldn't lose!
"Eth—"
Bang!
With the sound of the ball hitting the ground,my milk tea fell to the floor.
I covered my nose,wincing in pain.I only felt my hands warm with blood.
"Sorry,sorry.Are you okay?"
The guy who hit me quickly ran over and was shocked when he saw the blood on my hands.
I instinctively wanted to shake my head,but someone held me down.
"Don't move."
A towel wrapped around ice was placed on my nose.
I rolled my eyes and looked at Ethan's stunning face that was so close to mine.
I felt my nosebleed getting worse.
"You didn't even try to dodge when such a big ball was flying towards you."
There was a hint of disdain in his tone.
I...I was so infatuated that I lost my senses.
I secretly thought to myself.
Although I was being stubborn,my nose was getting more and more painful,and I started to feel a bit scared.
I pursed my lips,and two tears fell,mixing with the blood and dripping onto Ethan's hand.
"Hey,hey,hey!Why are you crying?Did it hurt you?Why is the nosebleed getting worse?Ethan,did you press too hard?"
The guy panicked.
Ethan glared at him.
"Don't get so excited."
He held the ice compress on my nose for about three or four minutes before the bleeding stopped.
But I also thanked that ball,which allowed me to successfully get the WeChat contact of his roommate—the guy who accidentally hit me.
The guy's name was Oliver Williams.To atone for his guilt,he volunteered to be my spy by Ethan's side and pass on information for me.
So,I successfully learned a lot about Ethan.
His family background wasn't good.His mother was in poor health,and he used all his scholarships to treat his mother's illness.So he also had to work to earn money,and he was usually very busy.
He seemed cold and aloof,but in fact,he just had small emotional fluctuations.He was also very smart and had a clear understanding of many things.
He and Amelia had been childhood friends.Amelia did have feelings for him,but he had repeatedly expressed that he didn't like Amelia.
As I listened to the information Oliver gave me,I couldn't help but sigh that I had really found a treasure.
But I never expected that this treasure was extremely difficult to obtain.
The first encounter and conversation were too easy,making me almost forget that he was an unattainable person.
After that,no matter how much I tried to approach him,I was always turned away,just like the other girls who pursued him.
When I gave him milk tea,he said he didn't like it because it was too sweet.
When I gave him a small pendant,he said he didn't like it because the little bear was too silly.
When I gave him breakfast,he said he had already eaten it after getting up early.
When I went to his classroom to wait for him,I was so scared by the human anatomy model in the classroom that I ran out in a panic.
After several attempts,I gave up.
I was feeling down when my father happened to call.
"Daddy,I like someone,but he ignores me."
My father blew his beard and stared angrily.He didn't look like the dignified official he usually was at all.
"Our Emma is so good.How could someone not like you?Tell daddy what this guy's name is,and daddy will help you deal with it."
"No,daddy.I want to win him over on my own!"
"Okay,okay.Emma,don't be sad.Daddy has something else to do,so I'll go first.Emma,be a good girl."
I heard a woman's voice faintly coming from the other end of the phone.I just thought it was the secretary calling him and didn't think much of it.
I hung up the phone with a smile.Just then,I happened to see Ethan leaving the school.I wasn't sure if it was my imagination,but he seemed a bit flustered.
I was a bit worried and secretly followed him.I found that he took a taxi to the hospital.
