Chapter 2 "My Girlfriend".
Song Shiyi followed everyone's gaze and looked in that direction.
The noise in the private room suddenly subsided for a moment.
The visitor was dressed casually, yet his air of refinement was undeniable.
Tall and slender with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.
Stray hair casually falls across her forehead, but it can't hide her high nose bridge and well-defined jawline. Her lines are sharp but not cold and hard. Her eyes are slightly upturned at the corners, and her pupils are light in color. When she looks over, she has a nonchalant and aloof air about her.
Song Shiyi stared at his face, which was on par with, or even surpassed, Shen Yanci's, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
Was it him?
Has he returned to China?
Perhaps her gaze was too obvious, for the man lifted his eyelids to look at her.
Song Shiyi was caught off guard and met his gaze.
She paused, then looked away in a fluster, her ear tips, hidden beneath her hair, feeling faintly hot.
She actually stared at him for so long.
That's too presumptuous of you.
She didn't notice that the moment she looked away, a fleeting smile flashed across the man's usually aloof eyes.
Fleeting.
The air fell silent for a moment.
Qi Sheng broke the silence first, asking curiously, "What's this?"
The others remained silent, but their eyes were also filled with confusion.
This person has an extraordinary temperament and an exceptional appearance.
It looks unusual.
Shen Yanci stepped forward, put his arm around his shoulder, and introduced him to everyone.
"Let me introduce you. This is my good brother whom I've known since high school."
"Congratulations on today."
"He was studying at university in the UK and only returned to China today."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They said they'd never seen it before.
So you're a returnee from overseas.
He Jinzhao clicked his tongue, seemingly with some complaint.
"I just got off the plane and didn't even have time to rest before you dragged me here."
Shen Yanci seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on his face, and teased, "Do you still need to rest?"
"What are you saying? Wouldn't you be tired if you had to sit on a plane for more than 10 hours?"
Shen Yanci smiled helplessly, "Alright, alright, let's finish early and you can go back first."
He Jinzhao responded and casually sat down next to him. Looking at the rows of wine bottles on the table, he subconsciously frowned. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a bottle of milk quietly pushed towards him from his left.
He Jinzhao's expression froze for a moment: "?"
He slightly raised his eyelids and looked at the girl sitting at the very back.
With bright, expressive eyes, a beautiful face, fair and delicate skin, and a pure and lively demeanor, she seemed to exude a captivating charm. Her eyes and brows also possessed an indescribable allure that stirred the heart.
He Jinzhao concealed the strange look in his eyes and smiled.
"Is this for me?"
Song Shiyi nodded.
The other people in the private room also seemed somewhat surprised.
Unexpectedly, the usually well-behaved Song Shiyi would take the initiative to strike up a conversation with a boy.
It was a guy I had just met.
Shen Yanci paused for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed and said, "Yi Yi, you recognized me?"
He Jinzhao wore a nonchalant, lazy smile, but his gaze remained fixed on the girl.
Song Shiyi did not deny it.
The moment Song Shiyi saw him, she remembered him.
She was two years younger than Shen Yanci. When she was in her first year of high school, Shen Yanci was already in his third year.
He Jinzhao was his best friend during high school.
She and He Jinzhao weren't actually very close; they were just ordinary friends. Their interactions were only because of Shen Yanci.
However, perhaps because of Shen Yanci, He Jinzhao also took good care of her.
But because he was so unique, Song Shiyi remembered him so quickly.
If you ask what makes it unique...
That is—
He Jinzhao was the boy she had ever met who loved drinking milk the most.
As for why she knew...
It was also because Shen Yanci once took her and He Jinzhao to do their homework together.
While he was in the restroom, He Jinzhao suddenly took a bottle of milk out of his bag and casually handed it to her. She looked at him with some confusion.
The boy turned his face away and said somewhat awkwardly, "I really like this brand of milk. My mom says we should know how to share. You should try it."
Song Shiyi glanced casually into his schoolbag, and her pupils dilated in shock.
Who would understand that a high school senior's backpack is full of milk and contains not a single valuable book?
Anyway, she doesn't understand.
But she accepted it anyway.
At that time, the boy's eyes were unrestrained and rebellious.
His eyes, however, were warm and passionate.
So when she noticed the change in his expression, she guessed that he didn't want to drink, which is why she pushed the milk that Shen Yanci had given her away.
Another reason is that... she actually doesn't like drinking milk.
Just then, she heard a man's clear, magnetic, and languid voice in her ear, the last syllable of which was tinged with amusement, relaxed and languid.
"I didn't expect my sister to still remember me."
Shen Yanci added with a smile, "Yi Yi has always had a good memory since she was little."
Unexpectedly, the lazy and nonchalant man chuckled cryptically, his gaze lingering on the girl's face for a second before looking down.
"Yeah?"
Song Shiyi's eyebrows curved slightly, and she nodded obediently.
He Jinzhao smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Shen Yanci glanced at his good brother with a strange look, feeling that he was acting a bit odd today.
Qi Sheng glanced at the time, looked at Shen Yanci, and asked, "Brother Ci, is it almost time? Should I have someone bring the cake over?"
He thought Shen Yanci would nod, but to his surprise, Shen Yanci glanced at his phone and replied, "Wait, there's still one person who hasn't arrived."
These words immediately piqued everyone's curiosity.
Apart from He Jinzhao.
He listlessly played with the milk bottle in his hand, looking at it from left to right, but refusing to open it and drink from it.
Song Shiyi's attention was originally on him, but when she heard Shen Yanci's words, her eyes subconsciously turned to look at him.
He Jinzhao lifted his eyelids and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Amidst everyone's curious gazes, the door was pushed open once again.
Upon seeing the newcomer, everyone was somewhat surprised.
She wore a red halter-neck dress that hugged her body, highlighting her soft curves. Her figure was slender and shapely, her face delicate, her makeup glamorous, and she had a beautiful appearance.
An indescribable tenderness and charm lingered around her, carrying the allure of a mature woman.
Qi Sheng and Luo Ziming exchanged a glance, their expressions unreadable.
They knew this person.
Ji Siyu, the most beautiful girl in the Department of Arts at Kyoto University.
He was quite a prominent figure at school.
What is she doing here?
She glanced around the room, her gaze lingering on He Jinzhao and Song Shiyi for a second before finally looking at the man who stood up and walked towards her, her red lips curving slightly.
"I'm sorry I'm late."
"just."
Shen Yanci took her hand and led her to the front of the crowd, introducing her to the various people with different expressions: "Ji Siyu".
Everyone nodded.
Yes, they know.
"My girlfriend."
