Wang Chen was very self-aware.
The gap between him and Tong Lei couldn't just be described as slight.
Even though Tong Lei was only three or four years older than him, her family background, economic status, and personal abilities could all crush Wang Chen exponentially.
In such circumstances, Wang Chen couldn't believe that Tong Lei would take a fancy to a poor boy like him.
Yet, Tong Lei's words—false with a hint of truth, seemingly teasing but sincere—confused Wang Chen.
Reason told him that there was no possibility between him and Tong Lei.
Tong Lei couldn't possibly be interested in him.
However, as a young man in the prime of his youth, often his rationality couldn't completely control all his thoughts.
That bit of impulsive desire intrinsic to men made Wang Chen abruptly turn around.
Tong Lei was very beautiful.
This was a fact that Wang Chen had recognized early on.
