Chapter 162 Extra: High School IF Route (The End)
Song Shiyi watched as his well-defined fingers, wrapped in a tissue, wiped her fingertips. The warm touch seeped through the thin paper, and her heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.
She coughed lightly twice, somewhat embarrassed, and tried to defend herself.
"I just wanted to let you know that class is about to start."
He Jinzhao looked up, her reflection shimmering in his dark eyes, his smile deepening: "Hmm? So you touched me?"
Now, Song Shiyi was truly embarrassed.
She stammered in denial, "Who...who touched you!"
He Jinzhao chuckled and was about to say something when the teacher stepped into the classroom, so he gave up.
Upon seeing this, Song Shiyi quickly withdrew his hand, took out his textbook, and stared at the blackboard with a serious expression, not daring to look at the boy beside him.
He Jinzhao looked at her profile, clicked his tongue, and casually twirled his pen without making any other movements.
——
Time flies, and Friday is here in the blink of an eye.
As the bell rang for the last class, the students eagerly packed their things to enjoy their weekend holiday.
Just as Song Shiyi zipped up her backpack and was about to put it on, a hand snatched it away.
Following her gaze upwards, she saw a boy in a blue and white school uniform tilting his head and looking at her, a faint smile playing on his lips.
He stood up, casually slung his backpack over his shoulder, and said, "Come to my house for dinner tonight. My parents said they have something to tell us."
Song Shiyi's lips moved, but before she could ask a question, someone's lazy voice rang in her ear.
"When I say 'Mom and Dad,' I'm including yours."
"……oh."
Song Shiyi showed no other expression, clearly indicating that she had already gotten used to it.
It's clear from the fact that they've been together since birth that their parents have a very good relationship.
It can be said that the other party's parents treated both of them as their own son and daughter.
She glanced around and asked, "Where are Yueyue and Alin? Are they coming?"
He Jinzhao shook his head: "He didn't say."
"Then let's ask?"
He Jinzhao nodded slightly and called out.
“Ah Lin.”
Si Yue and Xie Lin finished getting ready and walked towards them. Si Yue asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Xie Lin raised an eyebrow: "What?"
Are you going to Uncle He's house for dinner tonight?
Upon hearing this, both Si Yue and Xie Lin shook their heads.
"No, my mom said she has something to discuss with me tonight and wants me to go home."
Xie Lin chuckled and glanced at her lazily, saying, "What a coincidence, we're having dinner together again tonight."
Si Yue gave him a disdainful look.
He Jinzhao nodded and said casually, "Okay, let's go home."
Song Shiyi responded and walked beside him.
Si Yue and Xie Lin continued chattering away.
"Finally, it's vacation time. I'm so tired of studying that I'm going bald."
"Pshaw, with those three hairs of yours, you're afraid of going bald?"
"...Are you even fully grown yet before you start criticizing me?"
Anyway, I'm slightly better than you.
"...Heh, you're sick."
"Someone is getting anxious."
"..."
"Xie Lin! You bastard, stand right there! I'll beat you to death!"
"I'm not stupid. Let's talk about it after you catch up with me."
Two figures darted past Song Shiyi, stirring up a summer breeze.
She smiled and joked with the onlookers who were enjoying the spectacle, "They're at it again."
He Jinzhao strolled along leisurely, saying unhurriedly, "You've always been like this since you were little, haven't you gotten used to it yet?"
"Hmm, Yueyue usually has a pretty good temper, so why does she act like this when she's with A-Lin?"
"Do they really hate each other?"
Song Shiyi was somewhat confused.
He Jinzhao narrowed his eyes, glanced at her sideways, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "You're annoying?"
He scoffed and didn't continue.
She clearly likes it very much.
Unfortunately, the other party was clueless.
This is the only way to attract attention.
Song Shiyi blinked.
He Jinzhao glanced at her twice and smiled silently.
Well, his is the same.
He also said that others were no better.
It's alright, it'll be his sooner or later.
Tonight's discussion will likely revolve around the marriage alliance between the two families.
I just don't know if she'd be willing.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, he reached out and gently pinched the girl's cheek, then casually took her hand and said with a smile, "Why should we care about them? Do you want to go out and play tomorrow?"
Song Shiyi leaned closer to him, unaware that her subconscious act of dependence made him grin from ear to ear.
"No, I have to do my homework. They gave us several sets of test papers today, and I haven't done them yet."
"This is no problem for the top student in our grade! We can handle it in no time!"
"...Have you finished writing?"
"No, I can borrow it to copy later."
"Jinjin, what you're doing is wrong!"
"I didn't want to either, but the teacher insisted that I write out the solution steps. It's so troublesome. I just wanted to write out the answer, which would save me ink."
"That's for your own good. You'll do your homework with me tomorrow."
Seeing He Jinzhao frowning, she smiled and said, "Shall we go see a movie after we finish writing?"
He Jinzhao's expression changed instantly, and he smiled broadly: "I'll do as you say, I'll buy the tickets later."
Song Shiyi couldn't help but find his behavior somewhat amusing.
Just like a child, they can be easily coaxed.
He Jinzhao flicked his finger, hooking it around Song Shiyi's little finger and shaking it: "Then it's a deal, no backing out, or else I'll..."
"So what?" Song Shiyi turned her head to look at him, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
The boy snorted, feigning anger: "Then I'll be sulking for five minutes!"
Song Shiyi chuckled and reached out to ruffle his hair, which was warm from the sun.
The sun was blazing, but the breeze was just right.
A breeze swept past the camphor trees by the roadside, rustling the leaves and carrying the unfinished words of young men and women into the noisy summer air.
The journey is long, and their story has only just begun.
