Chapter 72 "I came here for you".
He Zhao responded with an "oh," looking somewhat dejected.
However, she quickly cheered up; she had gotten used to it over the years.
She smiled and said, "I know."
He Jinzhao nodded and got up to go upstairs.
After taking a few steps, he turned back, picked up the bowl of mung bean soup, took a sip, and a very faint smile curved his lips.
"Thanks."
He then put down the bowl, turned around, and went upstairs.
He Zhao stood there, stunned, unable to react for a moment.
Three seconds later, she covered her face and screamed silently.
After I calmed down, I realized I had forgotten something.
I forgot to ask my parents if they had arranged a blind date for me last time.
She was a little annoyed and pursed her lips.
No one is good enough for someone as good as his brother!
Those flashy, cheap women won't even get into her house!
She didn't want outsiders to take her brother away.
but……
She stroked her chin thoughtfully.
He Jinzhao treated Song Shiyi, whom he had met at Mingyage last time, very differently.
Moreover, he still kept the girl's photo.
not simple.
She needs to find some time to investigate the situation.
—
"By the way, He Jinzhao didn't ask you out? I thought you weren't coming out with me today."
Si Yue walked hand in hand with Song Shiyi along the path, her smile bright and her tone teasing.
Today is the fourth day of the National Day holiday. She just got back this morning and couldn't wait to go out shopping and have lunch with her girlfriends.
Song Shiyi gave her a reproachful look, her voice sweet.
"I already promised you, how could I go back on my word?"
"Besides, I met him yesterday."
Si Yue gave her an "oh," smiled knowingly, and whispered, "When do you plan to get together with him?"
Speaking of this, even Song Shiyi himself didn't know.
Now, her relationship with He Jinzhao is becoming more and more natural, no different from being in a relationship, except without the formal title.
But it still feels like something's missing.
After all, she can't just suddenly tell someone, "I agree to your pursuit, let's be together."
How embarrassing.
She thought about it for a while, but couldn't come up with a solution, and finally said, "We'll see."
However, she did not expect this situation to occur so quickly.
Si Yue glanced at the familiar surroundings and road signs, and asked in confusion, "How did we end up here?"
Song Shiyi took one look and it was indeed true; the two of them had drifted off into their own conversation.
We arrived near their high school.
Several months have passed, and I really miss it.
Si Yue snapped her fingers and said with a smile, "In that case, let's have a meal near the school. I love the fried rice noodles at the school gate."
"Not going to check in?"
"Since we're already here, we can always go again next time. The shop is there, it's not going anywhere."
Song Shiyi smiled, and the two of them turned into the familiar alleyway side by side.
Completely unaware, a little tail was following behind them.
He Zhao hid furtively behind a tree, her expensive designer clothes incongruous with her current behavior, giving off a strong sense of surreptitiousness.
As luck would have it, she was planning to go out for a beauty treatment to pamper her skin, but she ended up seeing the man she was looking for.
Without hesitation, she messaged someone to cancel the appointment, saying she had more important things to do. So she secretly followed the two of them to see what they were up to.
She thought the two of them were going to a big shopping mall, but they ended up in a place she wasn't familiar with.
She glanced at the towering teaching building and sign in the distance, then paused.
This is... the high school my brother attended?
She frowned. What were they doing here?
He's not very bright, but he's hardworking.
So she secretly followed them.
"Boss lady, do you remember me?"
As soon as Si Yue stepped into the store, she started chatting with the people there with a smile.
The two found an empty seat and sat down. Song Shiyi wiped the table with a tissue, a faint smile on her face.
The proprietress lifted the curtain and immediately smiled.
"Hey! Isn't this Yueyue?!"
Seeing the person next to her, she couldn't stop smiling.
"Shiyi is here too! I heard you were the top scholar in our city, Auntie is so happy for you!"
Song Shiyi nodded obediently and said with a smile, "Thank you, Auntie."
The proprietress paused for a moment, her voice filled with surprise.
"Girl, you can speak now?"
Si Yue's lips curved into a wide smile, and she nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, boss lady, were you startled?"
"That's really great!"
"How about this, whatever you want to eat, Auntie will treat you all to it!"
Song Shiyi and Si Yue exchanged a glance, their eyes full of smiles, and waved their hands to refuse, saying, "No need, no need. I just wanted to try your food, so I came to support your business."
"Auntie, thank you for your kindness, but you don't need to be so polite."
The proprietress had a genuine smile on her face and spoke in a very friendly tone, making the two of them feel as if they had returned to their high school days.
"Oh, don't be so polite. I'll take care of it. You guys don't need to say anything more."
"What do you want to eat? The usual?"
Seeing that they couldn't refuse, the two smiled helplessly and didn't insist any further.
Refusing once is polite, but refusing again would be disrespectful.
While waiting for their food, the two chatted idly.
Because it was afternoon and it happened to be the National Day holiday, there were hardly any people around the school; everyone had gone out to travel and relax.
So now there are only the two of them in the shop.
However, there will soon be three.
The door was pushed open, and Si Yue glanced at it subconsciously, her expression pausing.
She nudged Song Shiyi's arm, gave her a wink, and whispered in her ear, "Yiyi, look, isn't that the girl we met when we had dinner with He Jinzhao last time?"
What?
Song Shiyi followed her gaze and their eyes met.
The other person's eyes held a mixture of scrutinizing curiosity and a subtle hint of hostility.
Song Shiyi was somewhat confused, as she had little interaction with the eldest daughter of the He family.
But you could tell from her eyes that the other person didn't seem to like her very much.
She looked away, her expression indifferent.
Perhaps she misjudged the situation.
"Right, right?"
Song Shiyi nodded and said softly, "Yes, she is his sister."
The next second, Si Yue leaned closer to her, her tone urgent and somewhat puzzled.
"Oh my god, why is she walking this way?"
"Could it be?"
Song Shiyi paused for a moment, and before she could answer Si Yue, she had already stopped in front of her.
Can I share a table with you?
Song Shiyi looked puzzled. Weren't there still plenty of empty seats around here?
However, it's just sitting together for a meal, so there's no need to refuse.
After all, she is He Jinzhao's sister.
Regardless of their relationship, they are family.
She glanced at Si Yue and asked for her opinion.
The other person shrugged indifferently.
If someone wants to sit, let them sit. What else can you do?
They didn't lose any flesh.
Before Song Shiyi could even speak, the other person sat down opposite them, casually tossing his expensive bag aside, his brow furrowed, and his eyes seemed to show some disdain.
She had always attended elite schools and always had the best of everything; she had never eaten in a place like this before.
In the past, when I picked up my brother from school, I would wait in the car and I didn't know that there were small, shabby shops like these around his school.
She pursed her lips. Was this the kind of life her brother had always lived?
This is too much work.
If she had known, she would have bothered him less, and he wouldn't have disliked coming home and only be able to eat this kind of food.
"Sister, I don't understand this at all!"
Si Yue spoke quietly, looking at the person opposite her with undisguised disgust yet stubbornly refusing to leave, which made her feel very conflicted.
Song Shiyi shook his head.
"It's okay, we'll eat ours."
"OK."
After getting used to it, He Zhao raised his chin, his expression arrogant, and looked straight at Song Shiyi, crossing his arms and saying, "Song Shiyi."
"I came here for you."
Song Shiyi looked completely bewildered: "?"
Si Yue's gaze turned wary: "You like women too?"
