Chapter 44 Her family has found someone they like.
Upon hearing this address, Song Shiyi's cheeks flushed uncontrollably, the blush spreading down to the back of her neck, as delicate and sweet as a rose.
Ever since realizing the change in her feelings for He Jinzhao, her every word and action of his easily makes her shy and embarrassed.
That's strange.
This feeling was completely different from when she faced Shen Yanci before.
She both liked and looked forward to it.
Also, He Jinchao seems to have changed a lot since he returned to China compared to when he was in high school.
I had no idea how charming he was when I treated him like an older brother.
But things are different now.
Every minute she spent with him, she felt that he exuded a strong aura of hormones that she couldn't ignore.
He Jinzhao was unaware that his crush had changed her opinion of him.
He didn't know what Song Shiyi was thinking. Seeing that the matter was resolved, he saw no need to stay any longer and asked, "Do you have any plans for later?"
Song Shiyi shook his head.
"Shall we go out and have some fun this afternoon?"
"Relax and relax."
He Jinzhao was also afraid that she would be affected by what had just happened.
Song Shiyi thought about it and agreed.
"OK."
He Jinzhao curled his lips and stood up, saying, "Let's go back and get our bags."
The two walked towards the private room and bumped into a group of people who were finishing up in the corridor.
Song Shiyi paused slightly and greeted everyone one by one.
He Jinzhao naturally recognized them, and he and Song Shiyi greeted them politely, like a newlywed couple returning to their parents' home.
"Uncle Song, Aunt Song."
"Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen."
"The Inkstone's Resignation".
The couple who came out looking for their daughter were shocked by what they saw.
They knew that the He family's son and their daughter had a good relationship before, but that was two years ago.
Unexpectedly, after meeting today, our relationship didn't become distant; on the contrary, we seemed even more familiar with each other.
Seeing the subtle atmosphere between the two, the couple exchanged a glance, their meaning unclear.
Could this be related to the strong reaction to the proposed marriage?
The Shen couple didn't think much of it. He Jinzhao often came to the Shen family to study with Shen Yanci, and he also brought Song Shiyi with him. The two knew each other before, so it wasn't surprising that they were together.
It's just that some unexpected things might happen.
Shen Yanci, the only one who knew the truth, did not look too good.
He never expected to run into He Jinzhao here; it felt like he was wherever Song Shiyi was.
"Isn't this Jinzhao? You're back in the country? You've grown more and more handsome, a real talent, and you look so energetic."
"Yes, yes, the last time I saw you was when you were in high school. You've grown into a grown-up in no time."
The Shen couple greeted him with smiles.
"What a coincidence! You're eating here too? And you even bumped into Yi Yi from our family."
"You two seem much closer now than before."
Song's mother said with a smile.
Song Shiyi walked over to her mother and quietly tugged at her sleeve, signaling her to stop talking.
"Look at you, you're not even embarrassed now."
Song Shiyi's face turned even redder.
He Jinzhao looked at the girl's shy appearance, a smile spreading across his eyes before turning to the elders, humbly helping her out of the predicament.
"Yes, I was having dinner with my elders here. I came out for some fresh air and happened to run into them, so we chatted for a bit."
"Oh right, we also happened to run into someone bullying us."
He Jinzhao did not hide what had just happened and told them the whole story, including the details and the outcome.
The Song couple grew increasingly angry as they listened, and their expressions darkened.
"What?"
"I can't believe such a thing exists!"
"This is outrageous!"
Shen Yanci also looked angry, and his tone was tinged with self-reproach.
"I should have gone out to be with Yi Yi, otherwise I wouldn't have let her suffer such injustice."
He looked at He Jinzhao, patted her on the shoulder, and said thank you, "Thanks to you."
He Jinzhao smiled and said, "We're all family."
Shen Yanci paused, but said nothing.
After feeling sorry for her daughter, Song's mother said, "Yanci is right. I really have to thank you. If it weren't for you, my Yiyi would have no way to express her suffering."
Mr. Song nodded and immediately invited, "How about this, come over for dinner tonight, and I'll cook for you so you can taste my cooking."
He Jinzhao was somewhat flattered, his expression gentle, and he replied, "It's what I should do, you're too kind."
Mr. Song thought this was a polite refusal, but said regretfully, "Since you..."
He Jinzhao didn't give him a chance to regret it, and smiled obediently.
"Since you've said so, as a junior, I shouldn't be impolite. So I'll respectfully accept your offer."
Song's father: "..."
"...Haha, good boy."
Song Shiyi looked up and met his gaze.
He Jinzhao suddenly winked at her, his smile sly and roguish.
Song Shiyi couldn't help but smile, even she realized how happy she was.
Song's mother took all of this in and out, and her smile was meaningful.
It seems that Yi Yi has someone she likes.

"...You called me here in such a hurry just to play this?"
Xie Lin looked at the scene before him, his eyelids trembled slightly, and his tone became a little tense.
The group stood in front of a shop. The decoration at the entrance was gloomy and terrifying, quite frightening to look at. Inside, the lights were red and green, and ethereal music occasionally drifted out, giving people a sense of being there.
Si Yue looked very happy. She looked around curiously and exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, it's my favorite escape room!"
"Yi-yi, my bestie! You never forget to include me in your good news!"
Song Shiyi smiled slightly, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. She had never played this before, but Si Yue kept talking about how interesting these kinds of games were.
Every time she sees short videos of young men getting loot from escape room games, she screams in her dorm room.
Earlier, He Jinzhao asked her what her plans were for the afternoon. After thinking for a moment, she decided to give it a try and see just how fun it was.
When we arrived at the location, the staff said that a group of four people was required to start.
Song Shiyi promptly notified her best friend.
He Jinzhao simply made a phone call and dragged his good brother, who was still sleeping, over.
His words were full of anxiety, and Xie Lin thought something serious had happened, so he rushed over immediately.
When I arrived at the place, I saw that the back that had been straight for 22 years was now bent.
He hates haunted houses the most.
That's why he remained silent for so long before voicing a profound question.
He Jinzhao put his arm around his shoulder, laughing casually. Seeing his expression, he teased him, "What? You're a grown man, are you afraid of this?"
The other two turned to look at him upon hearing this, and Si Yue immediately laughed out loud: "So tall, yet so timid?"
Xie Lin: "..."
He glanced at her irritably. "Who's scared? We'll see who screams the loudest then."
Si Yue puffed out her chest, "It definitely can't be me!"
Xie Lin sneered, "That couldn't be me!"
The two exchanged a glance, then turned their heads a second later and said in unison:
Just you wait!
Song Shiyi and He Jinzhao, who were watching from the sidelines, were speechless.
How did it suddenly catch fire?
