After confirming that Ye Yingying wasn't on a date with a boy, Ye Zhiwei felt a little relieved and went home without lingering outside.
Thinking about how she lied about buying a gift, Ye Zhiwei thought for a moment and then went into a jewelry store, where she happened to see a lighter made from the merchandise of one of her favorite anime characters.
Ye Zhiwei bought it directly, not even bothering to put on a packaging box; it was very perfunctory.
Ye Zhiwei returned home.
She didn't linger outside for long, and returned just in time for dinner.
Ye Zhiwei casually entered the dining table.
Without realizing it, she found herself holding the lighter she had bought on a whim.
Ye Qingcheng asked with a smile, "Shuli just told us you weren't coming back for dinner, but you came back right away. Which classmate's birthday was it? They even made you buy them a gift."
Ye Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, and could only say haphazardly, "No, no, he's just an ordinary classmate."
Ji Shuli clicked her tongue. "Do you really need to buy gifts for ordinary classmates?"
As Ji Shuli spoke, she glanced at the small bag in Ye Zhiwei's hand. Not only did she look at it, but she also took action, actually trying to snatch the bag and then taking out the gifts inside.
lighter.
The dining table suddenly fell silent.
Ye Zhiwei said she wanted to give a gift to a classmate, so she went to pick out the gift herself and finally chose a lighter.
They actually brought back a lighter.
It took Ji Shuli a long time to say, "It really is a boy."
"no--"
"This is obviously a gift for a boy. Cousin, you're not right. Don't you like this guy?" Ji Shuli asked Ye Zhiwei in a low voice, considering Ye Qingcheng's presence.
"I already said I don't like it, so don't talk nonsense."
"So you like the kid you're going to give a gift to? Which one is it? What does he look like? Is he in your class?" Ji Shuli pressed.
Ye Qingcheng rubbed his temples and said to Ye Zhiwei, "Zhiwei, have you found someone you like recently?"
The father and daughter didn't have a deep relationship and rarely communicated. When Ye Qingcheng heard Ji Shuli say this, he also speculated that Ye Zhiwei was going to give a gift to the boy. Why would a girl give a gift to a boy and even choose it herself? It was quite obvious.
Once a lie is told, countless more lies are needed to cover it up.
Ye Zhiwei deeply understood this statement. She couldn't just say that she bought it randomly, because Jiang Jianian was still there. She didn't want Jiang Jianian to know that she had secretly followed the "green tea girl".
She had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "It's not someone I like."
Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "Dad isn't against you dating, but he thinks you're most easily deceived by boys at your age. You're still in the stage of preparing for college entrance exams. Although college isn't your only path, you can also choose to study abroad or do what you like. But your grades have always been good, so you don't need to rely on other means to develop your studies. You can get into a very good university on your own..."
This earnest and serious tone.
Ye Zhiwei: ...
She is now deeply reflecting on why she always manages to cause these unexpected things.
Ye Zhiwei could only repeatedly emphasize that she really didn't have a boy she liked.
Whether Ye Qingcheng and Ji Shuli believed it or not, Ye Zhiwei had no way of knowing.
Jiang Jianian did not participate in the conversation at all. He seemed to be deep in thought throughout, with his brows slightly furrowed. The occasional glances he gave Ye Zhiwei made Ye Zhiwei feel a little strange.
Ye Zhiwei didn't think much of it. It was just a small matter, and if there were no signs of trouble after a while, the matter would be over. Ye Zhiwei casually stuffed the lighter into her schoolbag.
And that's how the coincidence happened.
The next day, it really was the birthday of a boy in the class who was close to Ye Zhiwei.
