The reason I ended up with Xue Chengling was not because I liked her all that much, but because I had made a bet with someone else on whether she would ever confess her feelings to me.
It was a deeply disrespectful way to treat a woman, but back in my college days, I didn't realize that at all. I plunged into that bet without a second thought.
Xue Chengling was famous across our campus as the "Ice Queen." There was no telling how many people lusted after her; almost every time I saw her outside of a classroom, there was some boy or another trying to confess his feelings. We were all dying to know who would eventually be the one to win her over. None of us expected, and certainly no one could have guessed, that it would end up being me.
