Reborn: Changing Fate
I Like You

"Sister Li ..." Ye Tianxin went to sit down as she spoke. He said softly, “I sent you a message. Have you read it? My mock exam is done..”.

Li Qingcang asked, "Are you sure about them?"

“I have a good teacher. It wasn't difficult.” Tianxin smiled.

Li Qingcang sat in his office, holding a pen in his hand. A hint of warmth formed in his eyes when he heard Ye Tianxin's lively voice.

"Are you so confident?"

"Of course!" Tianxin commented confidently. "Oh, right, Brother Li, when I chatted with CEO Jing today, we were talking about something ..."

"What's that?" Li Qingcang asked

“Kakak Li, we will build a winery in Jiameng city. We will develop this city into a tourist spot. Big brother Li, I even wrote a proposal, and CEO Jing said that I was a business expert. Say, do you think I would ignore my business talent if I worked for the Foreign Ministry?”

“She just praised you for something she thought you did right. Little Tianxin, you are still a student and your studies are your priority, okay?”

Ye Tianxin nodded. Her grip on the phone tightened, and a shy expression formed on her pretty face.

“Sister Li, have you been busy recently? Have you been eating regularly? Grandma said that she would teach me how to make cloth shoes. I'll make you a pair later. Whaddya think? Oh, what size are your shoes?”

Li Qingcang could not bear Ye Tianxin making cloth shoes. People can buy anything with money nowadays. Making cloth shoes is a waste of time.

“Don't learn to make cloth shoes!”

Ye Tianxin, however, rejected Li Qingcang's goodwill. “Sister Li, I want to learn,” he insisted. “Grandmother is one of the few people who inherited Jiameng's embroidering skills. If I hadn't learned this, this form of embroidery would have become obsolete. Many interesting things in this country are forgotten because no one wants to do it. In the future, I want more people to learn Jiameng.” embroidery

Li Qingcang did not know why, but a shadow of Ye Tianxin's expression appeared in his mind as he spoke to her.

He must be very serious.

He must be as serious as when he said he wanted to be a diplomat.

Li Qingcang did not doubt whether Ye Tianxin could do it or not. It was because he believed that Ye Tianxin could definitely do it.

He could definitely bring the embroidery of Jiameng City to every corner of this world.

"Tianxin, you will succeed!"

"Sister Li ..."

"What's the problem?" Li Qingcang asked worriedly.

"There's nothing. I just wanted to say your name. Brother Li, I bet with Ye Youran.”

“What do you bet on?”

Ye Tianxin laughed and said, "The loser has to do a rabbit dance on stage, during the flag-raising ceremony on Monday."

"You'll win!"

Ye Tianxin laughed. “You can't say that. We have to stay humble before the score comes out.”

"You, fool ..."

Li Qingcang's fatigue dissipated as he spoke to Ye Tianxin.

Ye Tianxin's voice was as clear as a songbird and like a relief to him.

Meanwhile, a young woman was standing by the door. He was about to knock when he heard the man's relaxed voice coming from the office.

He never knew that Li Qingcang could treat another girl so gently.

He never knew that Li Qingcang could listen to the other girl talk about worldly matters so patiently.

Tap, tap, tap…

Li Qingcang's brows furrowed as he heard a knock on his door. “Wait, Tianxin. Someone's at the door. I'll call you next day. Good bye."

He hung up the phone and sat up straight before saying, "Get in."

"Captain Li..."

Yan Lili walked into the office and stood in front of Li Qingcang's desk. He handed her some documents.

"This is the psychological evaluation report for the team members this time."

Li Qingcang gestured for Yan Lili to put the report on his desk. "good. I will contact you again after I read this.”

"Yes, Captain Li."

Yan Lili wanted to ask Li Qingcang if the person she was talking to was her boyfriend.

However, the question was forced back by Yan Lili when it reached her lips. He can't ask such a question. He will not dare.

Yan Lili stood in the office. He wanted to say something but hesitated.

Li Qingcang raised his eyebrows, his lips pursed. Looking at Yan Lili, he asked, "Is there anything else?"

"No-no. Nothing else..”.

Yan Lili turned around and left the office. He met Yan Ge on the stairs.

“Yan Ge!”

Yan Ge bowed and greeted him, "Miss Yan."

“You used to call me Brother Lili. Why is it so far away now? What's with the formality?”

Yan Ge smiled and said, “That was first. Now that we are in the army, I have to follow the rules.”

"All right then."

Yan Lili and Yan Ge walked together. After a moment of silence, he asked Yan Ge, "Does Captain Li have a girlfriend?"

Yan Ge was Li Qingcang's assistant and right-hand man. "I don't think so," he answered. "I've never heard him say anything about having a girlfriend ..."

“He doesn't have any? Really true? But I heard Captain Li call someone when I went to give him some reports. I think she has a boyfriend,” Yan Lili shares casually.

Yan Ge did not expect that women had such complicated thoughts. He slapped his forehead. "Are you talking about Little Tianxin?"

"Little Tianxin?" Yan Lili was filled with jealousy when she heard these words. They sound so adorable. 'Little Tianxin''s'...

Yan Ge then continued, “You know how Captain Li was injured last time? Captain Li has a unique blood type. Little Tianxin was the one who donated blood to save him. He is Captain Li's savior, not his girlfriend. He just finished taking the college entrance exam. Captain Li we are not.. beast..”.

For some people, a 28-year-old man can have a 20-year-old girlfriend. This makes sense and is acceptable.

However, if a 26-year-old man has an 18-year-old girlfriend, people will find him vile.

“Oh, so that's the case.Then he should treat Little Tianxin well. What is Little Tianxin's situation like?”

Yan Lili was a psychologist, so Yan Ge was no match for her. Yan Ge had already told her everything about Ye Tianxin in just a distance of about a hundred meters.

Yan Lili was thrilled when she learned that Little Tianxin was not Li Qingcang's girlfriend, but rather her savior.

He could guess what Li Qingcang thought of this. He would probably treat Little Tianxin like a younger sister and protect her.

Yan Lili and Li Qingcang had known each other since they were children. He knew very well what Li Qingcang was like. He is very protective of those he loves. Furthermore, Little Tianxin had saved his life.

Yan Lili felt that she should meet this Little Tianxin…

At the very least, he had to tell Little Tianxin that there was a woman named Yan Lili by Li Qingcang's side.

She, Yan Lili, was a suitable match for Li Qingcang in terms of family background, education, employment.

After Ye Tianxin ended her call with Li Qingcang, she felt herself yearning for more. He hoped that time passed slowly whenever he chatted with Li Qingcang.

He still had a lot of things he wanted to say to Li Qingcang.

“Ah, I didn't realize it. Little Tianxin has fallen in love!” Jing Zhichen teased Ye Tianxin. Ye Tianxin placed her phone on the table.

“I'm not in love. He's my elder brother," Tianxin refused. “Oh, right, Brother Jing, what do you think of my proposal? Do you think I can make the city of Jiameng as a tourist spot and promote its local products?”

Jing Zhichen's expression became solemn once again as they discussed the proposal.

"Of course you can. I went to check out the places around us while you were at school. Jiameng City is in a very good location. It is easier to get here by boat, car, train, and even plane. Developing Jiameng into a tourist spot is not impossible. Furthermore, the city of Jiameng has the ruins of the Three Kingdoms as well as of the Shu Dynasty. If we develop this, we can turn Jiameng into a one-stop service. However, Tianxin, the focus of my work is on the capital, and you should study in the future. I mean, it will be hard to start in the next three to five years.”

Jing Zhichen had to admit that Ye Tianxin was talented. He was able to write a convincing proposal given his young age.

But even the most talented people have to consider their situation.

One has to consider their options, and people have to focus on what they are good at. None of them have the ability to work in two different places at one time.

If they wanted to develop a project here, then one of them would have to stay here to keep an eye on him.

“Sister Jing, I understand what you mean. I'm not realistic!”

Have idea…

Have money…

This isn't all important.

The most important thing is to have someone to implement the plan.

Who would be willing to implement Ye Tianxin's plan step by step?

“No, Tianxin. You are not unrealistic. You did a good thing. You were born in the city of Jiameng, and you want your hometown to be known all over the world. Goody. So you have to work harder. Director Jin's film can give you the title of best actress, and I can make you a star. You may not know this yet, but I can see a bright future ahead of you. When you become famous, you will become the spokesperson of Jiameng.” city

Ye Tianxin understood what Jing Zhichen said.

He sighed and looked at the white clouds in the blue sky of Jiameng. They're like cotton candy.

“Can we show that proposal to Mayor Di first?”

"certain."

When Mayor Di saw Ye Tianxin's proposal, his face shone in agreement.

He knew better than anyone that if the proposal was implemented well, the city of Jiameng might be the best countryside in the country. It will expand internationally.

“We will need a large amount of money for this,” Mayor Di said. "It's impossible without a few million."

“We can do it slowly. However, the problem right now is that neither CEO Jing nor I have time to do this.”

Di Shanshi stood up and said boldly, “I can. Let me do it!"

“You can't do it. You have to take the college entrance exam. You have to go to college.”

Ye Tianxin was the first to reject Di Shanshi's suggestion.

Di Shanshi repeated, “But I want to do it. Next, I can study by myself for the exam.”

“Shanshi, don't think about it anymore,” Mayor Di discouraged his son, shaking his head.

“The degree that will be given to you is not the same as self-study or self-taught. Furthermore, college will open up many opportunities for you, even experience. If you don't go to college, you'll lose a lot of things and you'll regret it when you're my age.”

A slightly puzzled smile formed on Jing Zhichen's lips.

He's also a man.

He could guess what a shy boy like Di Shanshi was thinking.

He likes Tianxin.

However, Di Shanshi did have good taste.

“Di Shanshi's. Are you sure? Are you sure that you won't regret this later in your life? If you succeed, your life will be different from others. But.. but what if you fail? Are you going to hate Tianxin for this? Or dad? Or yourself?”

Di Shanshi acted impulsively when he said that earlier.

However, at this time, even though he had already thought about it, he said, “I will not do it. This is my choice.”

Mayor Di, Jing Zhichen, and Ye Tianxin all looked at Di Shanshi. They saw a faint red hue on Di Shanshi's face.

“I know what you all worry about. If you think that I am acting on impulse, I can tell you all for sure that I am not doing it.”

Ye Tianxin was still trying to stop Di Shanshi. "In Shanshi, you're just being impulsive," she insisted. “In addition, even if your father agrees, your mother will definitely not let you do it.”

In Shanshi met with the gaze of Mayor Di, “Dad, I'm an adult. I can take responsibility for my own actions.”.

Mayor Di looked at the proposal he held in his hands and then looked at his son. Heart's wobbly.

He knew clearly that if he could make the city of Jiameng a tourist destination, his performance and popularity would increase significantly.

However, he also knew that he could not allow his son to do something like this.

This is his son.

This was his son whom he had placed high hopes on since he was a child.

“Try thinking again. CEO Jing and Tianxin have said that this is not urgent."

Ye Tianxin and Jing Zhichen returned to the courtyard. Jing Zhichen called Li Qingcang. He was excited to report to Li Qingcang what had recently happened involving Ye Tianxin.

On the other side of the phone, Li Qingcang was currently attending a get-together and it was very noisy.

"Bro, you won't believe the important information I learned today!"

Li Qingcang covered his other ear and asked, "What's the matter?"

“There are boys who love Tianxin ..” Jing Zhichen said with feelings. “I also liked the prettiest girl in school when I was young. Too bad the girl doesn't like me back.”.

Jing Zhichen knew very well that even though she and the prettiest girl in school did not end up together, the feeling of admiring someone would make one's heart feel warm when remembering them all those years later. That feeling was something he never felt again after he graduated.

"What happened after that?"

"That boy didn't dare to confess to her!" Jing Zhichen thought about how Di Shanshi looked. He's handsome and kind. Jing Zhichen also heard that Di Shanshi's grades were quite good and his father was also the mayor of the city. In Shanshi is definitely a popular city. "I have a feeling that more people will like Tianxin ... I don't know which man would be able to fend off so many rivals."

“Tianxin is young. Watch him carefully and don't let him be tricked by those silly brats" Li Qingcang instructed anxiously.

Jing Zhichen nodded.

A woman's voice suddenly sounded from the other end of the phone.

"Captain Li, I like you!"

Jing Zhichen was very curious. He could not wait to ask Li Qingcang about it.

Jing Zhichen knew that Li Qingcang was a very charming man. However, he did not expect that the women in the army would be so liberated.

He dared to shout, "Captain Li, I like you!" in front of so many people.

Was he not afraid that Li Qingcang might reject his progress? Has he gone mad? That's shameful.

One should know that Li Qingcang was an honorable man. However, he was not that gentle when it came to the opposite sex that would make their feelings known in front of so many people.

Jing Zhichen pitied the woman who confessed to Li Qingcang.

......................

The noisy crowd instantly fell silent as Yan Lili shouted, "Captain Li, I like you!"

Li Qingcang hung up. A hint of coldness could be seen in his resolute eyes.

The silence was deafening. Only the sound of fire was heard.

The flames illuminated Yan Lili's face, highlighting her timid expression.

Had Yan Lili confessed to the other man, the crowd would have cheered the two of them on, perhaps encouraging and congratulating them.

However, Yan Lili confessed to the "demon of the army". No one dared to tempt them.

"Instructor Yan, I think you drank too much" said one of the officers.

"You two, please take her out."

Yan Lili's heart twisted with pain.

This is Li Qingcang.

His rejection is so clear.

"Captain Li, I'm not drunk" insisted Yan Lili. “I like you. You don't have to accept my confession or do anything.”

Li Qingcang's expression remained the same, flat.

He did not like girls like Yan Lili. It was not that Yan Lili was not kind, but that they grew together. Although they had been separated for several years because their parents had been placed in different places, Li Qingcang had seen Yan Lili grow up. She ... she is not interested in him romantically. He only saw her as a family friend; someone familiar.

No matter how much Yan Lili had changed, Li Qingcang had never recovered from her traumatic experience of crying as a child.

“Yan Lili, I'm sorry. Don't waste your time on me. There are men who are more deserving of me.”

With that, Li Qingcang turned around and left.

Yan Lili chased after him. He caught up with Li Qingcang in an empty spot.

"Are you rejecting me because of Ye Tianxin?"

Li Qingcang turned around ferociously. His expression was terrifying. Yan Lili looked at the other side of Li Qingcang, a side she had never seen before.

"Yan Lili, I refuse you nothing to do with anyone else!"

"That's impossible. You must have rejected me because..”.

“Yan Lili, you're a psychologist, aren't you? You need to know if I like you or not. Why do you have to make things so awkward for everyone?"

Yan Lili covered her face. He's very sad. She really likes it. But why did he refuse to give a response at all?

Li Qingcang shook his head and then left. 'Women ... They are completely unpredictable. No one knows what they will do or say.'

Li Qingcang returned to his dorm and took a shower. After that, he changed into a matching camo shirt and shorts. Then, he went to sit on the balcony and look at the stars in the night sky.

Not many people live there. There is no industrial pollution either.

At night, the sky looked as if someone had sprinkled stars within it. They are all over the sky.

He found his phone and turned it on. He looked at the photo of Ye Tianxin and could not help feeling that Little Tianxin was still more adorable than anyone he knew.
