Chapter 312 - 312 First Reveal of Ambition

312 First Reveal of Ambition

This should have been an exceptionally beautiful scene, but Zhai Jing, who was beside her, was unusually silent.

A gentle breeze blew by. Le Wan held her hat and turned to look at him.

“What’s wrong? You’ve been in your mind all morning.”

Zhai Jing first shook his head, then nodded.

“I just… I was a little frightened by Big Brother’s actions.”

Le Wan stopped in her tracks and walked around to face him. He raised his head and looked at her.

“Do you think Big Brother did something wrong?”

Zhai Jing shook his head.

“I don’t think he has done anything wrong. Big Brother Le was just pushing the boat with the current and raising the attention of a case that had already attracted a lot of attention to another level. What he was more concerned about was the chain reaction behind this incident.”

Zhai Jing chose his words carefully.

“I just didn’t expect that I could achieve my goal in such a way.”

Zhai Jing had been smarter than others since he was a child. No matter what he learned or did, he could do better and faster than his peers. He was very clear about this, but he didn’t feel like he was special.

Since his birth, he was restricted to this place. Ever since Mother Zhai fell ill, his only thought was to earn more money to treat his mother’s illness and improve their lives.

Hence, all this while, Zhai Jing’s life had only revolved around the small piece of land that he was on. It was only until he met Le Wan that the world expanded a little. As a result, in his future, Le Wan’s shadow appeared, and he had a clearer plan for his career.

It was only now that he had witnessed how Big Brother Le could stir up so many people and things with just a thought that he realized that a person could actually do many things and change the fate of many people.

This was a problem that Zhai Jing had never thought about before. Now that he had seen it, he admitted that he was tempted. He also wanted to become such a person.

Le Wan could see the ambition in his eyes, which was both firm and passionate.

Zhai Jing came back to reality from his passionate imagination. He lowered his head and looked into Le Wan’s soft eyes. He was stunned for a moment, then he pulled her into his arms.

“I’m sorry. Maybe this is the real me. Do you mind?”

Le Wan shook her head gently and wrapped her arms around his waist.

“How could that be? No matter what you want to do, as long as it’s your choice, I’ll support you.”

She thought that no matter how the world changed, Zhai Jing would still be the same Zhai Jing. He would take one step at a time to reach higher places and soar in the vast sky, blooming with his own unique light.

However, in this life, she wouldn’t let such a dazzling and eye-catching Zhai Jing be limited by those boring battles and wear away all the Halo on him.

Le Wan hugged him even tighter. Suddenly, the sound of a bicycle’s “ding ding ding” came from behind her, accompanied by an anxious female voice shouting in a foreign language,

“Get out of the way, get out of the way!”

Before Le Wan could even react, she was suddenly thrown into the air. Her vision turned, and with a “bang”, her back crashed into soft yet solid ground.

With eyes wide, Le Wan felt as if time had suddenly slowed down. She could clearly see the branches of the wildflowers swaying a few times on top of her head. A few bright yellow flowers then drifted down and landed on her head and face.

“Wanwan, are you alright?” Zhai Jing’s head appeared in front of her.

His soft hair looked unusually fluffy under the sunlight. Le Wan didn’t know if it was because she had suddenly fallen down or for some other reason, but she could only feel her heart thumping rapidly and vigorously.

She looked at the nervous Zhai Jing and couldn’t help but reach out to ruffle his hair.

Zhai Jing’s concerned voice stopped and he smiled helplessly.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t hold you properly. Did you fall?”

It turned out that there was a long slope a few steps ahead of them. When the two of them were hugging and talking, a brown-haired girl riding a bicycle suddenly appeared on the slope.

The slope was steep, and the bicycle was going down at top speed. It was obvious that the other party was a novice, so she couldn’t hold the front of the bicycle at all. When she saw the two people standing on the road, she panicked. She hurriedly tried to brake, but she realized that there was no reaction at all.

Therefore, she could only shout for them to move aside.
