Chapter 27 "Yes, we are all the smartest."
He lowered his eyes, a faint smile playing on his lips: "I didn't expect you to remember."
Song Shiyi paused, then her eyes curved into a smile, her eyes filled with a subtle light.
Actually, she never expected He Jinzhao to comfort her that day.
How could she possibly forget this unexpected tenderness?
She lied when she saw him at the karaoke bar.
She recognized He Jinzhao, not because of the milk.
The instant he pushed open the door and walked in, his gaze falling upon her.
The name "He Jinzhao" had already clearly appeared in her mind.
She raised her hand again, signing with exceptional seriousness.
"I told you, I have a very good memory."
He Jinzhao stared at her serious expression for a few seconds, then suddenly burst out laughing.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and a seductive curve appeared in his gaze, like a poppy quietly blooming in the dark night.
Song Shiyi laughed along, her eyes full of smiles, sparkling under the bright moonlight, like stars among the blooming flowers.
A gentle evening breeze swept by, carrying the coolness of the night.
He Jinzhao suppressed the emotions surging in his eyes, gently dangling his slender fingers above her soft hair, his voice low and husky.
"Yes, we are all the smartest."
This was the first time He Jinzhao had called her by her nickname.
Many people around him say that, but when he says it, it sounds different.
Those two words seemed to carry warmth, seeping into her heart through her earlobe, burning her instantly and making her panic.
The warmth from He Jinzhao's fingertips seemed to linger in the air, inexplicably making her feel flustered.
She felt like she was becoming a little strange, a feeling she had never experienced before spreading from her heart and flowing through her veins to every part of her body.
My heart suddenly started racing, pounding against my chest, and even my breathing became a little erratic.
She pursed her lips, frozen in place, unsure how to react for a moment.
Fortunately, Si Yue and Xie Lin returned at this time.
However, the atmosphere seemed to become a little awkward.
"you?!"
Si Yue held two bottles of mineral water, her gaze falling on the two people in an ambiguous posture on the bench, her tone surprised.
Xie Lin narrowed his eyes and said something cryptic.
"It seems we're both superfluous."
He Jinzhao withdrew his hand without changing his expression, touched his nose, and said without blushing or skipping a beat, "You're back."
Si Yue smiled enigmatically: "Yes, if we don't come back soon, my innocent little lamb will be kidnapped."
Song Shiyi puffed out her cheeks, her eyes full of protest.
I do not agree with her statement.
Si Yue walked over and stopped in front of Song Shiyi, handed her the water, glanced at He Jinzhao, and said meaningfully, "You should be more careful."
Song Shiyi smiled and took the water, nodding obediently.
Xie Lin stood naturally beside He Jinzhao, yawned, and looked a little sleepy.
He Jinzhao tilted his head back, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, his rosy lips glistening with moisture.
Seeing Xie Lin's posture, he raised an eyebrow and said, "You're sleepy already?"
Xie Lin stood there awkwardly, casually resting his chin on his hand, pointing to the watch on his wrist, and looking at him with droopy eyelids.
"Please, look at the time."
He Jinzhao: "?"
He glanced at the time suspiciously and asked curiously, "Nine o'clock? What's wrong?"
"I have a very regular schedule, and don't you know that going to bed before 11 pm is the best for the body?"
He Jinzhao, who never went to bed early: "..."
"…OK."
It's getting late indeed.
He glanced at Song Shiyi's face, which also showed signs of weariness.
I noticed she wasn't in good spirits at noon, and although she went back to rest for a while in the afternoon, she must have been tired after being out for so long.
We'll have plenty of time to spend together in the future, and since she's not in good health, she can't be overworked.
He stood up, turned to the two girls, and asked, "Do you want to go back or wander around some more?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Lin raised his eyelids slightly and said listlessly, "You guys go shopping, I need to go back and pack my things to keep dreaming."
Si Yue and Song Shiyi exchanged a glance and both shook their heads.
"Current office closes at 10 PM, it's about time to head back."
"It's time to tidy up and go to sleep."
Song Shiyi clearly shared the same idea.
He Jinzhao nodded without surprise, stood up and said, "Then let's go."
Si Yue and Song Shiyi walked side by side ahead, their fingers intertwined and their arms tightly linked.
Xie Lin and He Jinzhao followed behind, walking slowly and occasionally whispering a few words.
As dusk settled, the moon rose above the branches, its soft light slanting across the roadside.
The cold white light of the streetlights enveloped the four of them, filtering out some of the chill and leaving only an overflowing sense of freedom and youthful energy.
Life may not always be joyful, but I'm grateful for the constant companionship of good friends.
—
For several days in a row, Song Shiyi did not see He Jinzhao again.
The other person seemed very busy; the two only chatted briefly on WeChat in the evenings.
But Song Shiyi goes to bed early, so they only chat for a few minutes each time before it's time for bed.
He Jinzhao also consciously avoided disturbing them, and the two would say goodnight to each other every night.
When Si Yue learned about this, she clicked her tongue and teased, "You two are developing too fast, aren't you?"
"What's the difference between this and actually negotiating?"
Song Shiyi was so shocked that she immediately covered her mouth, afraid that she would say something shocking or unconventional.
A fleeting shyness crossed her eyes, and her heart stirred with subtle emotions.
But she didn't have time to think about these things, because she was forced to do hard labor.
That's right, their class's performance was given to her and another boy named Lu Tianyun.
We were all new students and didn't know each other. We didn't want to perform in front of the whole school, partly because we were embarrassed and partly because we didn't really have anything we were good at.
So the class monitor asked who had any talents or had studied musical instruments.
Unexpectedly, only Song Shiyi and Lu Tianyun were there.
However, the two of them knew different skills.
Song Shiyi is good at cello, and that boy is good at piano.
Although Song Shiyi can play, she hasn't played for a long time, and her fingering is a bit rusty. She needs to familiarize herself with it again now, so it would be better to spend this time on the cello, which she is good at.
After all, she has never stopped practicing the cello, and melodious cello music can be heard from her home practice room every day.
Besides, it seems a bit redundant for both of them to play the piano.
So the class monitor thought of having them play together.
It's innovative; other classes definitely don't have it.
It will definitely amaze everyone when the time comes.
Their class is bound to make a name for itself.
Although it was of no use.
But it's a long face!
As for what to perform, that's up to the two people involved.
After a brief discussion, Song Shiyi and Lu Tianyun decided on "Years".
