Chapter 122 "Good boy/girl".
The next second, the sound of the elevator stopping rang out.
The two looked behind them at the same time and saw Shen Yanci carrying a bag, looking at his phone casually, and then looking up at them.
His expression changed drastically in an instant.
Shen Yanci's heart skipped a beat, and a faint sense of foreboding began to ferment within him.
Ji Siyu stared at him silently, her eyes red-rimmed.
Her gaze was filled with sadness, disappointment, and a mix of emotions, making it impossible for him to move.
The elevator beneath their feet acted like a horizontal line, separating the two of them.
It was only a few steps away, but it felt so far that it seemed impossible to get closer.
His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and Shen Yanci's eyes darkened.
He knew that it was over between him and Ji Siyu.
——
"And then what?"
You know what, He Jinzhao actually listened with great interest.
Although he knew the truth, what the person involved said was completely different.
Song Shiyi gave him an elbow strike, signaling him to shut up.
It was someone else's sad story, and he treated it like gossip?
Ji Siyu shrugged, her tone nonchalant: "What you see next is what you get."
"We had a really bad argument, we've basically fallen out."
She looked at the group and asked, "Do you know why they're at the hospital?"
Everyone except He Jinchao looked at her with curiosity.
Qi Feng, who had been acting as an invisible man, suddenly thought of a possibility.
He frowned and hesitated, "Wait, it can't be..."
Before he finished speaking, the way he looked at Ji Siyu changed slightly.
He genuinely felt sorry for her.
"What is it?" the group asked.
Ji Siyu said calmly, "She's pregnant."
"..."
"..."
The air seemed to freeze.
Song Shiyi's face was full of shock, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
She never expected that Shen Yanci would do such a thing.
In her mind, he could never be that kind of person.
Even as an outsider, she found it hard to believe.
So, what were Ji Siyu's feelings when she confronted him as his girlfriend?
After a while, someone spoke up.
"Holy crap..."
"Is he a human being?"
Ji Siyu looked at the person who had made the complaint and said with a half-smile, "Why are you reacting so strongly?"
Qi Feng said matter-of-factly, "I felt it too much."
"My ex-girlfriend also ran off with someone else."
Everyone: ?
It feels like it's suddenly turned into a comedy channel.
Ji Siyu: "..."
She was speechless, and looked at him with a hint of pity.
My condolences.
Qi Feng smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, senior."
He Jinzhao suddenly grabbed Song Shiyi's hand and said to her with a serious expression, "Baby, promise me you will never run away with someone else."
Song Shiyi: "?"
She opened her mouth, and someone's aggrieved voice fell.
"Or I'll kill myself in front of you."
Song Shiyi: "..."
"……Shut up."
He Jinzhao instantly became obedient: "Oh."
Ji Siyu, watching from the side, couldn't help but chuckle. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she said to Song Shiyi in a somewhat apologetic tone:
“I also bear some responsibility for his going to see you.”
If she hadn't been emotional and pointed out the truth he had been unwilling to admit, Shen Yanci wouldn't have bothered Song Shiyi.
Then none of those things would have happened.
I apologize to you.
Song Shiyi shook her head and comforted her, "This has nothing to do with you."
Qi Feng curled his lip and clicked his tongue: "That's right, it's clearly his problem, why are you still covering for him, senior?"
The other three roommates also chimed in.
"So that's the truth. No wonder you were so sad, Sisi."
"Damn it, you can't judge a book by its cover. Shen Yanci looks so handsome, how could he be such a scumbag! You liked him for so long, and this is what you got in return? You wasted your heart on him!"
"Damn it, are there any guys in the world who don't cheat, don't cause trouble, and are still faithful?!"
He Jinzhao snapped his fingers. "Of course there is."
Everyone looked at him.
Song Shiyi rubbed his forehead; those who knew him knew what he was about to say.
He Jinzhao raised his chin with a proud expression, his tone subtly tinged with pride.
"Far away, yet right before my eyes."
For a moment, the atmosphere fell silent.
Someone secretly asked Song Shiyi.
"Has he always been this narcissistic?"
"It must be exhausting to coax him all the time, right?"
"He seems so mature and composed, how come he's so childish?"
He Jinzhao raised his eyelids and said in a sinister tone, "Have you all forgotten that I'm still here?"
Song Shiyi burst out laughing.
That's so much fun.
He Jinzhao felt wronged again.
Song Shiyi scratched his palm, skillfully smoothing his hair.
When no one else was looking, she secretly whispered a word in his ear.
Her voice was sweet and gentle, with a hint of coaxing.
"good."
He Jinzhao was slightly taken aback, then smiled faintly and replied softly, "Okay."
The group walked through the night, accompanied by the faint light and the evening breeze, with stars hanging low and their shadows accompanying them.
Forget your worries; the joy of the present moment is what matters most.
after all.
Life is rarely as we wish; if we keep a little joy in our hearts, we can remain undisturbed by the many troubles of the world.
——
Inside the study on the second floor of the Shen family villa.
"You bastard!"
Fueled by anger, a teacup slammed onto the ground with a loud crash, the cracking sound mixed with the sharp splattering of porcelain shards sending a shiver down one's spine.
Shen Yanci knelt silently in the middle. In front of him stood a middle-aged man with a face full of anger and eyes as sharp as knives.
"Say what you just said again?"
He slammed his hand on the table, his tone agitated and urgent.
Shen Yanci acted as if he hadn't seen anything, his expression remained unchanged, and his attitude was unyielding.
His gaze was fixed on his father's face, and he said slowly, word by word, "No matter how many times I have to say it, my mind will not change."
His tone suddenly turned cold and somber.
"I won't keep this child."
A dark undercurrent surged in Shen Yanci's eyes, a hint of fierceness flashing across them. His thin lips were pressed into a straight line, his hands were clenched into fists, and he stubbornly tilted his head back, looking at the man in front of him.
Seeing that he was so stubborn and unyielding, Shen's father was so angry that he could barely speak.
His finger, pointing at Shen Yanci, trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with disappointment.
"How could our Shen family produce such an unfilial son as you!"
Clearly, he was completely unaware of what Shen Yanci had been doing outside.
"You got that girl pregnant, not only are you irresponsible, but you also want to erase the Shen family bloodline?!"
"If other prominent families find out, where will I put my face? The ancestors of the Shen family won't be able to rest in peace!"
Shen Yanci frowned: "Dad! It's just a child, isn't it? Why are you making it sound so serious?"
"When I'm with Yi Yi, it's not like I won't have children for you."
Shen Yanci really didn't understand why his parents were reacting so strongly.
Isn't this kind of thing all too common in this industry?
