Half an hour later, the group returned to the Wu family home.
Halfway there, Wu Yue called Cheng Pingxi. The younger brother quickly hired a chef to cook a small feast—a welcome-back dinner and a way to ward off bad luck—to greet his parents who had returned home safely.
Of course, he also wanted to reward his sister, who had made such a great contribution, so he specially prepared a bank card with 20 million yuan in it. He believed his sister would like it.
...
For a long time afterward, Wu Yue's life was peaceful and uneventful.
School, Yan Chiyu, and home became her daily routine.
The relaxed yet busy study schedule continued until Saturday. That's right, after entering the senior year of high school, the school started a six-day study schedule with alternating weeks. Studying is important, but it's also necessary to have a proper balance between work and rest.
Over the weekend, Zhou Yunwei invited Wu Yue to go shopping at Xintiandi Plaza, agreeing to meet at nine in the morning. Last night, Lu Shu and the others dragged her around playing games and bragging until 2:30 in the morning. If Zhou Yunwei hadn't called to ask where Wu Yue was, she probably wouldn't have woken up.
At nine o'clock, normally no one would be out shopping. But it was the weekend, and with autumn in full swing, Xintiandi Plaza was unusually crowded.
Wu Yue rarely went shopping, and Xintiandi Plaza was huge; it was her first time there. The driver dropped her off and left immediately. At that moment, Wu Yue was using the location Zhou Yunwei had sent her, weaving through the crowd.
She was holding her phone when a news notification popped up.
Popular young actor Cheng Pingxi and the cast of his drama "Hidden" will be holding a promotional event at Xintiandi Plaza on September 27th!
[It is reported that the organizers also invited the new generation girl group Y88 to perform the opening dance!]
Wu Yue: So, that's why there are so many people in the square so early in the morning? Are they getting there early to secure a spot, afraid they won't be able to squeeze in later?
The girl, who was looking down at her phone, suddenly bumped into a wall of people, and a fresh, pleasant scent immediately enveloped her.
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"Witch Songsong?" A familiar and gentle voice slid into my ears.
Wu Yue covered her nose and looked up. Sunlight shone on the boy's thin earlobes, making them gleam with a translucent white luster. The blue gemstone earrings reflected the dazzling light of the sun. His handsome face, which was cold yet contained a hint of gentleness, softened with a slight smile upon seeing her.
"What are you doing here?" Yan Chiyu doesn't seem like the type to go shopping.
Before the boy could answer, Wu Yue asked suspiciously, "You didn't happen to develop a relationship with my brother over the figurines, and you came here specifically to see him, did you?"
Yan Chiyu said with a straight face, "Our relationship is purely a monetary transaction."
Wu Yue: "Uh..." Don't blame her, she suddenly had a dirty thought.
Seeing Wu Yue's strange expression, Yan Chiyu didn't keep her in suspense any longer and sighed softly, "My cousin is a member of the newly formed Y88 girl group, and she insisted that I come and support her."
"Cousin?" Wu Yue hadn't looked at these and didn't know who she was referring to.
"Yes, it's another aunt's." Yan Chiyu said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. Her family isn't in the capital, so I have to take on the responsibility of being her brother."
In fact, this was something that Yan Chiyu could easily resolve by having Bao Xinbao or Uncle Min run an errand; he didn't need to be there in person. It wasn't because he'd heard Zhou Yunwei invite Wu Songsong shopping yesterday, and he hadn't been invited, that he took this opportunity to resort to this desperate measure.
That's how the chance encounter just now happened.
The girl glanced at the empty stage not far away, "But the event hasn't started yet..."
The young man forced a smile: "Since we've run into each other, why don't we go together? You seem to have plans to go shopping with Yunwei? I can help you carry your things."
Wu Yue glanced sideways at Yan Chiyu. This guy, he's been waiting for this sentence from the very beginning, hasn't he?
“Okay, let’s go.” She showed Yan Chiyu the location Yunwei had sent. “You lead the way to this place.”
