Kissing is something that only boyfriends, girlfriends, or spouses do. Her brother apologized to her, but she didn't see any other emotions on his face.

Doesn't he feel embarrassed?

"Zhizhi." Qi Shen stopped at the school gate.

"Huh?" Fang Zhi's thoughts were interrupted, and she looked up at the man with a bewildered expression on her fair face. "What's wrong, brother?"

The orange glow of the setting sun bathed the earth in warm hues, and the road from the parking area to the school's main entrance was lined with evergreen trees, creating a particularly gentle and charming scene.

The gold-rimmed glasses gleamed.

The girl in front of him stared straight at him with her round, clear eyes, her reflection mirroring his image.

A gentle smile spread across Qi Shen's refined and handsome face. "What were you thinking about just now? You didn't even notice me when we got to the school gate?"

Fang Zhi turned her head slightly and realized that the iron fence of the school gate was only a few steps away from her.

As it approached six o'clock, most students had already entered the school, leaving only a few scattered students on the road.

In the distance, Jiang Yu and a group of friends were leisurely walking back to school after leaving the internet cafe. They were still reviewing the last game and were determined to figure out who was to blame for the loss.

"Fatty, why didn't you participate in that team fight? If you had, we could have won."

"What kind of top laner am I, instead of just feeding the enemy top laner another kill?"

"You didn't deal any damage to help Brother Jiang absorb the damage, but Brother Jiang did! Brother Jiang's Kayn scythe is practically smoking from swinging it around."

"You have the nerve to talk back to me? Getting equipment takes forever, are you haggling with the shop?"

The group argued incessantly, while Jiang Yu's handsome features revealed his impatience.

He lifted his eyelids, about to speak, when his friend stopped abruptly. With his excellent eyesight, he spotted the person standing at the school gate from afar.

The tall, slender man in a white shirt and black trousers stood with his back to him, his very back exuding an air of nobility and elegance.

The girl standing next to him revealed her profile; her features were pure and delicate, and she was the girl he had met by chance in the cafeteria.

She couldn't tell her brother what she was thinking directly, so Fang Zhi shook her head and said softly, "It's about my homework."

Qi Shen gazed at her with gentle, calm eyes, and whether he believed her or not, he gave a soft "hmm".

He handed her the beige backpack he was holding, "Let's go into school."

Fang Zhi reached out to take it, and the tips of their two fingers touched each other, as light and delicate as a dragonfly skimming the water, and then they parted.

After putting on her schoolbag, she obediently said:

Goodbye, brother.

As Jiang Yu approached, he happened to hear the girl's sweet and obedient "Goodbye, brother," and he froze.

He clicked his tongue and smiled with a slightly roguish air.

Both were calling each other "brother," but Tao Wanying's "brother" sounded noisy to him; while when this girl called her "brother," his heartstrings were touched.

It felt like a feather was tickling his heart.

Jiang Yu glanced at them subtly, and paused when his eyes caught sight of the man's face.

He felt like he recognized him.

"Goodbye, Zhizhi," Qi Shen said gently.

Sensing a subtle gaze upon them, a chill flashed in the dark eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses.

He looked up and followed that gaze.

Their eyes met, and Jiang Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Damn, what a sharp intuition! And this man looks so refined, but the sense of oppression he exudes is just too strong.

Despite being only in his early twenties, he exuded a more imposing aura than his father.

Qi Shen's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly, and his narrow eyes narrowed. This is President Jiang's son?

He calmly and steadily shifted his gaze, and Jiang Yu instantly felt much of the pressure around him dissipate.

The boy who was called "fatty" muttered:

"Brother Jiang, what's wrong with you? I've been calling you for ages and you haven't answered. Why don't you tell me who was more at fault in this game?"

Jiang Yu glanced at him without saying a word and went straight into the campus. A group of carefree teenagers hurriedly followed his steps and walked further and further away.

Qi Shen looked down at Fang Zhi, patted her shoulder, and said in a gentle and doting voice, "We're going to be late, Zhi Zhi."

There were students nearby just now, but now she was all alone. Fang Zhi said "Goodbye" again and ran away.

Qi Shen stood quietly, watching the girl's retreating figure.

Her figure was slender and delicate beneath the loose school uniform, and her thick, black hair fluttered obliquely in the air when the wind blew.

Thinking of the survey results his assistant sent him, Qi Shen's eyes flickered, and he chuckled casually.

His little girl made a close friend without his knowledge, and they even made a pact to take the entrance exam for A University together.

Unfortunately, before he could make a move, her friend was going abroad to study after graduating from high school and couldn't go to University A.

His daughter will also not be able to go to University A, but will stay at Ocean University.

......

In the third year of high school (7), the class teacher went out to attend a meeting when evening self-study began, leaving the class unattended and in a chaotic state.

"Brother Jiang, tell us what's going on." His companion grinned slyly. "Were you staring at that young girl so intently just now?"

Before Jiang Yu could speak, the gray-streaked boy leaned closer and asked with interest, "Which girl?"

"The one standing at the school gate when I came here."

The boy with the highlights said, "Oh, it's her!"

Jiang Yu's eyebrows twitched slightly. "You know him?"

The boy with the highlights was named Zhou Yiming.

The elders in the family and the elders in the Jiang family have a good relationship, and the younger generation also share the same interests. They often get together to play and talk without any reservations.

Zhou Yiming said with an exaggerated expression, "Even though we don't come to class often, you must have heard of Brother Jiang, even if you don't know him."

"Speak your mind." Jiang Yu glanced at the boy, his voice slightly hoarse. "Don't keep me in suspense."

Zhou Yiming chuckled, "That girl is the prettiest girl in class. Her name is Fang Zhi. You've seen what she looks like."

"She's fair-skinned and pretty, with a gentle and obedient personality. Quite a few people have a crush on her; as far as I know, there are several in our class alone."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu frowned, feeling slightly displeased, as if someone was coveting a treasure he had just acquired.

Seeing the boy's odd expression, Zhou Yiming teased, "So you really have a crush on someone? Don't worry, none of them have succeeded."

Jiang Yu's furrowed brows relaxed, and he silently repeated the girl's name in his heart: Fang Zhi. He remembered it.

Jiang Yu then looked up at his companion and asked, "What else do you know?"

“That’s all.” Zhou Yiming shook his head, then pointed to the ceiling and said mysteriously, “I heard she has a pretty powerful background. Apparently, someone saw her coming out of the Qi family.”

Haicheng is a bustling and extravagant city, brimming with opportunities and influential figures.

When it comes to it, the truly outstanding ones are few and far between.

For example, the Qi family's power, the Cheng family's money...

Jiang Yu lowered his eyes and pondered. He remembered that the man who called him "brother" was Qi Shen of the Qi family.

His father is a bank president, and he was the person his father personally greeted at his birthday banquet two years ago.

His father occasionally mentioned Qi Shen with admiration.

He also graduated from this school, broke away from the path his family had laid out for him, and relied on his own efforts to re-enter the top of the pyramid.

Fang Zhi calls Qi Shen "brother"? Are they relatives?
