Deng Ying arrived late, just as darkness fell and a strong wind suddenly rose outside, stirring up dust. She screamed and covered her face.
Knowing that Su Zhou would be attending the class reunion, she specially prepared an exquisite look, hoping to shine at the reunion.
The team previously specialized in serving celebrities, and many famous stars have had their makeup and styling done here.
He awkwardly shielded his eyes from the wind with his hands as he walked through the door.
When she got to the private room, she found that almost everyone else was already there.
She had specifically chosen a later time to be the grand finale, but she didn't expect that almost no one would notice her after she entered.
He coughed lightly twice, which slightly drew everyone's attention back to him.
"Deng Ying, why are you so late? Everyone else is already here and you're already here in a hurry." The Youth League Committee member's tone was somewhat complaining, although there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.
The dishes were already being served one after another at this point.
"Where does everyone work?" Deng Ying put her bag down beside her, found a seat, and then asked.
"I recently joined a big company, with a sixty-month salary a year. How about that, I'm not dragging everyone down?"
"Wow, I got a job with the power grid. It's 12,000 a month. The salary isn't much, but the hours are flexible and there are a lot of holidays."
“I’m doing my master’s at the school next door. I’ve completely switched majors, and I still regret it. I must have been out of my mind to choose this major. I feel like crying every day. There are endless group meetings, I get scolded all the time, and I get paid the least amount of money but do the most work.”
Everyone's talking about themselves, Deng Ying, your family must be very rich, right?
Su Zhou glanced at Deng Ying, who had been observing her ever since she came in. It was funny to think that someone had been silently watching her for four years of university; it was even more intense than a secret crush.
Deng Ying had been waiting for this moment. She smiled slightly and said, "Oh, my family doesn't have that much money. We only have a little bit. I'm currently in management at my dad's company. I don't have much to do usually. I just travel around. Anyway, there are people below me who will do it for me."
Her family is indeed well-off; everyone knew that from the time she entered university.
Deng Ying couldn't keep a secret and would blurt out everything. As soon as she said this, she gave Su Zhou a defiant look and said, "I'm just a lazy bum who eats, drinks, and waits to die. I don't have your dramatic side. At most, I have a father who loves me. Hey... by the way, Su Zhou, you've been so quiet lately. How have you been?"
Last time I went to the zoo, I was surprised to find that Su Zhou's zoo was completely different from what I had imagined. This is not something that can be built with a small amount of money.
After returning home, Deng Ying was overwhelmed with emotion for a long time.
She was completely unaware that as soon as she said those words, everyone else was looking at her with strange expressions.
Su Zhou was actually reluctant to start a conversation, but since the other party had already asked, she had no choice but to say, "My life is a straight line between the office, dormitory and the zoo. There are no entertainment activities, so I'm quite busy."
That's right, I'm busy.
In order for the zoo to become a magical zoo as soon as possible, the first thing she does every day when she opens her eyes is to check the previous day's revenue in the app, how many gold coins the zoo has in its account after deducting operating costs, and then silently calculate what venues she can buy.
To be honest, even with the help of a system, running a zoo is not an easy task.
At least for her, it wasn't something she could just say offhand.
Su Zhou has been working tirelessly at the zoo for the past six months. Before, her parents sheltered her from the storms of life, and she didn't have to think about anything. She just needed to study and read books step by step. But studying and reading were the easiest things, and for someone as quick-witted as her, it was the least effortless thing.
Deng Ying was happy now; she really didn't go online.
She was afraid that she would see news about Su Zhou every time she went online, so she stopped using social media, which she used to love. Naturally, she didn't know that Su Yunhai was actually Su Zhou's biological father.
After everyone had eaten, and since classmates hadn't seen each other for a long time, the atmosphere was quite lively.
"I recently started dating a boyfriend. He's a minor celebrity, quite handsome, and a bit famous. You guys might have even heard of him recently." Deng Ying's face lit up as she mentioned this. She took out her phone, found a photo of the two of them in her album, and showed it to the others. "What do you think? Isn't he handsome?"
Needless to say, those who make it into the entertainment industry are definitely much more handsome than the average person.
Some girls in the class had already expressed their envy of her, which made Deng Ying feel like she was floating on air. When she caught a glimpse of Su Zhou's calm face, her smile faded: "Su Zhou, everyone usually jokes that you are the school beauty. Four years of college have passed and we haven't seen you date anyone. Your standards are too high."
Su Zhou was typing with her head down. The person she was talking to had a fox avatar and had awkwardly sent an emoji.
The thought of the other person having such a beautiful face and sending such an emoji made Su Zhou's heart melt.
"Su Zhou? Are you even listening to me?"
Deng Ying was furious.
Su Zhou looked bewildered: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Ru whispered, "Deng Ying asked if you are still single."
Seeing the fleeting jealousy in Deng Ying's eyes, Su Zhou smiled and nodded, "Yes, I have a boyfriend."
Although we haven't officially defined our relationship yet, kissing is something that should only be done with people we know well.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him my boyfriend.
Then... let's pretend he's my boyfriend.
After the meal, Deng Ying fell completely silent. Outside, it was pouring rain. The class representative looked out the window and said, "It's raining. The weather forecast wasn't very accurate today. I didn't bring an umbrella, but I drove, so it's not a big problem. Shall we go to karaoke after dinner?"
Su Zhou glanced at the time. "It's getting late, so I'm not going to join in the fun. It'll really be too late if I stay any longer. I'm going back now."
"The weather is bad tonight, drive carefully on the road," Xiao Ru whispered.
Su Zhou nodded: "Okay, have fun tonight. I'm leaving now."
It's not far from the hotel to the parking area, just a few steps away.
The rain was torrential and the fog was thick.
Someone approached with an umbrella, their fingers as delicate as jade bones. Su Zhou seemed to sense something, and she raised her eyes as if sensing something. On the ancient-style umbrella was a beautiful face painted with vibrant colors, like a scholar on his way to the capital for the imperial examinations encountering a beautiful woman transformed from a fox spirit in an ancient temple.
Su Zhou's heart raced, but the other person walked towards her and said, "It's raining so hard outside. I've been worried about you."
"How did you get here? Aren't you cold?" Su Zhou couldn't help but ask. She reached out and touched Xie Chi's fingers, which were not warm, so she put his hand in her pocket. "Thank you for your hard work. I didn't drink tonight, so I was able to drive home by myself. Xie Chi, tonight... someone asked me if I have a boyfriend."
"If I say yes, will you get angry?"
