Chapter 5 "It's dangerous for a boy to be out alone."
He looked down at his fingertips, as if the soft touch from before was still there, lingering in his memory.
Everyone else in the private room was busy celebrating Shen Yanci's birthday, and no one noticed what was happening in this little corner.
After cutting the first piece of cake, Shen Yanci subconsciously looked at Song Shiyi's position, a faint smile in his eyes, and waved to her, saying, "Yiyi, come here."
Ji Siyu's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, then slowly withdrew two seconds later.
She suppressed her smile and fixed her gaze on the girl.
She deliberately drew everyone's attention to her just now, just to give Song Shiyi a hard time.
Seeing that Shen Yanci had indeed ignored Song Shiyi, she felt a little smug.
But to my surprise, Shen Yanci still thought of her.
The cake is not important.
The order is important.
This shows that Shen Yanci himself did not realize that what he cared about most was Song Shiyi.
Ji Siyu knew about their relationship over the years, probably out of habit.
but--
Her gaze darkened, her eyes gleaming with a subtle light, and her lips were taut and straight.
She was still very unhappy.
She hates it when others covet her things.
Just then, the man who had been sitting lazily next to the girl slowly lifted his eyelids and looked at her.
Her eyelids twitched, and she was secretly alarmed.
This person hadn't said much since she came in, and he exuded a very easygoing aura. Considering his behavior just now, she assumed that He Jinzhao was the same type of person as Shen Yanci.
but--
His expression remained unchanged, still calm and composed, with a faint smile playing on his lips, exuding a lazy and nonchalant air.
Those long, narrow, black eyes narrowed slightly, their pupils as black as ink, exuding a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.
"!"
Her heart tightened, and she dared not look him in the eye again.
For some reason, a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on her palms.
Suddenly, a cake came into her view.
Ji Siyu paused, her gaze slowly moving upwards until it landed on the girl's shy and nervous face.
Before she knew it, Song Shiyi appeared in front of her.
Holding the cake that Shen Yanci had given her, she sincerely and carefully handed it to her.
Ji Siyu was at a loss for how to react.
She hadn't expected herself to show such hostility towards her.
Song Shiyi would even take the initiative to come closer to her.
And some of them are simply irresistible.
Her gaze towards Song Shiyi was somewhat complicated. She hesitated before taking the cake and said with pursed lips, "...Thank you."
Not to mention the person involved, even the others present did not expect Song Shiyi to do this.
After all, they were all aware of Ji Siyu's overt and covert provocations towards her just now.
They thought Song Shiyi would use this opportunity to retaliate.
Unexpectedly, Song Shiyi was a little too obedient.
Shen Yanci looked at her for a few seconds, then suddenly chuckled and raised his hand to pat her head.
But before they even met, Song Shiyi suddenly tilted her head and gestured:
"It should be given to my sister-in-law."
He paused, showing no sign of anything amiss, his tone tinged with a hint of doting affection.
"Yi-Yi is still so sensible."
Song Shiyi smiled, pursing her lips.
He Jinzhao, leaning back in his sofa chair, lazily watched her back.
His fingertips tapped his knees absently, and a very faint breath escaped from his throat.
Tsk.
Fool.
They're probably plotting against you.
They even eagerly moved closer.
After all these years, it's still the same.
"..."
As midnight approached, the gathering came to an end.
Shen Yanci had drunk quite a bit of wine and was being supported by Ji Siyu.
In his condition, he definitely can't drive the car anymore.
However, they didn't seem to need to drive.
"Brother Ci, Sister Siyu, we're heading back now. Please be careful."
"Is Brother Ci alright?"
Shen Yanci waved his hand, his clear eyes becoming somewhat hazy. He leaned against Ji Siyu, burying his head in her neck, his breath warm and hot, as if he were very drunk.
For some reason, he drank a lot of alcohol in the second half of the event, but everyone just assumed he was happy.
Ji Siyu didn't drink much, worried that Shen Yanci would be left unattended later.
Adhering to the spirit that doing good deeds leads to a long life, He Jinzhao raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you need my help?"
Ji Siyu hadn't forgotten the look he'd given her earlier. She looked away and said politely, "No need. Yanci has booked a room next door. I'll help him over."
"so."
He Jinzhao nodded and said nothing more.
A lone man and a lone woman, alone in a room.
What will happen is self-evident.
He glanced at the girl who was quietly following behind him, and was about to speak when Shen Yanci opened her eyes, pinched her brow, and looked at him.
"Ah Chao, I'm worried about her going back alone. Could you see her off for me?"
"You drove here, right?"
He Jinzhao smiled and agreed almost the instant he finished speaking.
"Since you've put it that way, I'll reluctantly help you with this favor."
Song Shiyi raised her hand, as if to say that she could manage on her own and that there was no need to trouble others.
But He Jinzhao seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He turned his head, lifted his eyelids, and raised the corners of his lips, giving off a slightly wicked feeling.
"It seems my sister can't wait to go back."
"Don't worry, I will make sure you get the person there safely."
Song Shiyi: "..."
No, she didn't.
"Yiyi, your brother can't go home with you today. Go home and get some rest."
At this time, the dormitory access control has long passed.
Fortunately, it's the weekend, so they won't be checking rooms.
Song Shiyi looked at him for a few seconds and slowly nodded.
If it were someone else, Shen Yanci might not feel at ease.
Although He Jinzhao may seem unreliable, he is actually quite dependable.
He wasn't worried that this person would do anything to Song Shiyi, since she already had someone she loved.
Moreover, a prodigy like him wouldn't look down on someone with a defect.
Relieved, Shen Yanci said to the person beside her, "Are you tired? Let's go."
Ji Siyu nodded, glanced at the two people, said nothing, and helped Shen Yanci walk towards the hotel.
Only after the two figures disappeared from sight did He Jinchao turn around, twirling his car keys between his fingers, and raise an eyebrow, saying, "Why are you still looking after them? They're gone."
Song Shiyi puffed out his cheeks.
What's it to him!
"Of course it's my business. Every second you stay here, I'll be a second later to get home."
As he spoke, he pointed to the sky, his tone tinged with a slightly frivolous laziness.
“It’s dangerous for a boy to be out alone.”
A hint of surprise flashed in Song Shiyi's eyes. How did he know what she was thinking?
I was speechless when I heard the second half of his sentence.
The man continued talking, still not finished.
"Besides, my brother's time is very precious."
Song Shiyi glanced at him twice, then turned and left.
He Jinzhao was stunned for a moment, not expecting it to go this way.
He instinctively reached out and grabbed her wrist, looking somewhat helpless. "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore."
I've really annoyed people.
"Let's go, I'll take you home."
Song Shiyi slowly lowered her head, her gaze falling on the spot where the two were clasped together, and then looked up at him again.
The meaning is obvious.
