Chapter 24 She had seen her photo in He Jinzhao's room.
She blinked, looking somewhat bewildered.
I don't understand why he suddenly brought this up.
Is this something very important?
However... 1.88 meters is indeed very tall.
No wonder she only reached He Jinzhao's chest when they stood together.
Because she was premature and had poor health from a young age, she didn't eat much and therefore didn't grow very tall.
She was already very satisfied that she had grown to 1.6 meters tall.
Although she didn't know why He Jinzhao brought this up, she still gave him face and supported him.
"Is it... impressive?"
He Jinzhao actually regretted what he had said as soon as he realized it.
He inwardly berated himself with some annoyance.
What's the point of comparing these two things?
How childish!
Would Song Shiyi also think he was pretentious?
For a moment, I felt a little uneasy.
He didn't expect the girl to give him so much face.
So well-behaved, so cute.
The meal ended smoothly amidst playful bickering and sweet moments.
As the group went to the front desk to pay, He Jinzhao had just taken out his card when a surprised and delighted voice came from the side.
"Brother Jinzhao?"
"You've gone back to China?"
Upon hearing this, the four of them turned to look and saw a girl dressed in Chanel style, with exquisite details from head to toe, standing not far from them, her face full of surprise.
Si Yue narrowed her eyes instantly, her gaze filled with inquiry.
Song Shiyi looked over curiously, feeling that the face looked somewhat familiar.
Xie Lin, indifferent to the matter, idly fiddled with the green plants on the front desk.
He Jinchao frowned subconsciously, took back the card and bill handed back by the front desk, stuffed them into his pocket, and turned around with a familiar faint smile on his face, but his eyes were indifferent and distant.
"Hmm, you came alone?"
The girl smiled and said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "No, I came with a friend. Why didn't you tell me you were going back to China, brother?"
"If we hadn't run into each other here today, were you not planning to tell me?"
As she spoke, she walked up to He Jinzhao and tried to take his arm, but the boy quickly dodged her.
He Jinzhao glanced at Song Shiyi's expression without showing any emotion. Seeing that the other party didn't care at all, he sighed silently in his heart.
sad.
The moment she lifted her eyelids, her smile faded slightly.
"I just got back and haven't adjusted to the time difference yet. I'll go back in a few days."
He Zhao's eyes darkened, but his smile became even sweeter as he said coquettishly, "Mom and Dad will be so happy to know you're back. They talk about you all the time."
He Jinzhao nodded calmly.
Are they all alright?
The two moved aside to avoid blocking other guests and chatted casually.
He Zhao hadn't seen He Jinzhao for almost a year.
He rarely comes back after going abroad, and even when he does, he only stays for one night before leaving again. He didn't even return home for Chinese New Year last year, so the two of them rarely see each other.
She truly hadn't expected to run into him here.
She had so much to say to He Jinzhao, but she was afraid that he would find her annoying again, so she could only suppress her excitement and maintain her dignified demeanor as she talked about her recent situation.
Meanwhile, the other three had become onlookers, watching and whispering among themselves.
To be precise, only Si Yue was speaking, Song Shiyi was listening silently, and Xie Lin was still playing with leaves.
Neither of them knew who the woman was, so they could only focus their attention on the only person who might know.
Xie Lin: "?"
I inexplicably felt a chill down my spine.
He lifted his eyelids, looked at Si Yue's malicious gaze, remained silent for two seconds, and then said, "...Why are you looking at me like that?"
Si Yue pulled Song Shiyi closer, glancing at the two chatting happily over there, her face full of gossip.
Who is that person? Do you know him?
Xie Lin nodded and said slowly, "I've met you before, but we're not close."
He glanced at Song Shiyi, then immediately looked away, his eyelids drooping as he said, "Don't overthink it, that's his sister."
Si Yue was somewhat surprised, "A younger sister? Her biological sister?"
She carefully examined the two people's features and muttered, "They don't even look alike."
Song Shiyi seemed to have thought of something, and a flash of surprise crossed her eyes.
Xie Lin leaned against the wall like he had no bones, his voice tinged with weariness.
"no……"
"What? Could they also be childhood sweethearts?"
Si Yue lowered her head in deep thought.
no?
What's going on? Why does everyone else have a childhood sweetheart, but I don't?
Moreover, judging from the way the two of them interacted, although He Jinzhao didn't seem too happy, he still patiently talked to her.
The girl's joyful expression was undeniable.
Something's not right.
She glanced at the clueless Song Shiyi and affectionately patted her head.
"It's alright, it's alright, Yi Yi, the world is so big, there are plenty of fish in the sea."
Song Shiyi: "?"
She looked completely bewildered, having no idea what Si Yue was talking about.
Xie Lin glanced at her speechlessly and clicked his tongue.
"What are you imagining now? They may not be biological siblings, but they're on the same household registration. Do you understand what that means?"
If he had explained a few seconds later, his friend's crush would have flown away.
He Jinzhao could be beaten to death by him.
Then it won't be He Jinzhao sitting at his doorstep wailing anymore, but inside the mourning hall.
"Oh...I see."
Si Yue gave a dry laugh, but she was still angry that she was inferior to him, and said unconvinced, "Who told you to only say half of what you mean?"
Xie Lin chuckled in exasperation and scoffed, "Who told someone to be so rude, interrupting others all the time?"
"Hey--"
Si Yue's energy has returned.
Song Shiyi quickly grabbed her, looking helpless.
Why are you arguing again?
The commotion clearly alerted the two people talking over there, and He Jinzhao breathed a sigh of relief, finally having a reason to leave.
If he weren't afraid she'd go back and complain to his parents, and then nag him about it, he really wouldn't want to stay here any longer.
For the first time, he felt that Xie Lin was born with the right mouth.
"Okay, that's all for now. My friend is waiting for me, so I'll head out first."
Go home early and be careful.
Before He Zhao could say anything, He Jinzhao had already turned around and walked over to the group of people.
After saying something, he smiled faintly, looking like he was in a good mood and much more relaxed than when he was with her.
He Zhao stomped his foot in annoyance, then paused when his gaze fell on that delicate, porcelain-like face, a strange glint in his eyes.
She remembered that face.
She had seen her photo in He Jinzhao's room.
