Many students take a nap in the classroom during breakfast time after finishing their morning self-study, so the cafeteria is not crowded.
Fang Zhi and Liu Siyi found a place to sit down.
The porridge in the bowl was still hot. Fang Zhi stirred it slowly with a spoon as she asked, "Why are you staring at me?"
Liu Siyi pinched her fair and soft cheek, "See if your outburst last night was just a dream."
"Siyi," Fang Zhi pouted, "It hurts!"
Liu Siyi withdrew her hand. "It's not a dream!"
"Why don't you pinch yourself?" Fang Zhi covered the spot where she had been pinched, giving her a wronged look.
Her bright, clear eyes conveyed a sense of grievance and innocence, while also revealing a touch of naivety and naivety.
Liu Siyi was stunned. She hadn't noticed before, but now she realized that her friend's beauty was becoming more and more striking as she grew older.
Good heavens, she seems to be subtly being turned gay.
Coming to her senses, Liu Siyi swallowed hard and subtly changed the subject, "How about we have dinner early on the birthday party, and then go sing karaoke in the afternoon?"
Fang Zhi subconsciously bit her lip, unable to make up her mind.
She only told her brother that she was at Liu Siyi's house, without reporting that she was going to a karaoke bar. Even if she had told him, he wouldn't have let her go to entertainment venues.
"Is it good or not?" Liu Siyi said in a high-pitched voice, "I've already shown you how a fierce woman can act cute."
Not wanting to refuse her friend's expectant gaze, and also wanting to relax and see what a karaoke bar was like, Fang Zhi finally nodded in agreement, "Okay."
She thought to herself:
Her brother went to Liu Siyi's house to pick her up at five o'clock. They just needed to leave the karaoke bar beforehand and go back to Liu Siyi's house.
"Then the birthday celebration is settled. On the first day of being an adult, we'll go to check out a karaoke bar."
"It just so happens that there is a teaching and research activity at the school this Sunday afternoon, and we will return to school on Monday. The timing couldn't be better."
A shadow fell on the dining table, followed by a deep, husky voice.
"Whose birthday is it? Which karaoke bar?"
Fang Zhi and Liu Siyi looked up.
Jiang Yu looked down at them, still with a carefree attitude, his school uniform undignified, and a deep weariness in his deep, handsome eyes.
The four or five boys behind him, like him, slumped their heads listlessly, their eyes filled with indescribable fatigue.
"......"
Fang Zhi and Liu Siyi exchanged a glance.
Anyone who didn't know better would think that the Egyptian pyramids were built by a few people working together overnight.
Fang Zhi lowered her eyes to avoid the boy's dark gaze.
Since she couldn't ignore her benefactor's words, Liu Siyi raised her hand and quietly said, "I haven't decided where to celebrate my birthday yet."
Jiang Yu chuckled lightly, took a long stride and sat down on the stool opposite them, his handsome face showing a playful and lazy expression.
You could tell they'd never been there before.
Jiang Yu curled his lips and threatened, "There are all sorts of people in KTVs, aren't you girls scared?"
Liu Siyi retorted, "There was a boy."
"One isn't enough to protect you all."
The young man who spoke was none other than Zhou Yiming, Jiang Yuzhe's childhood friend, whose highlighted tuft of hair was particularly eye-catching.
He sat down next to Jiang Yuzhe, put his arm around Jiang Yuzhe's shoulder, and gave him a roguish smile.
The meaning in his eyes was clear: Brother, I've come to your rescue.
"No way?" Liu Siyi hesitated, but thinking about how she had been scammed in a shopping mall, she suddenly felt that the KTV was even more unsafe.
"Of course you would."
"Of course we know, we go there often."
"Yeah, you guys didn't even go there, you probably don't even know which way the KTV door faces." The boys who were with Jiang Yuze rushed up and started describing the KTV all at once.
Jiang Yu's gaze remained fixed on Fang Zhi, who had his head hanging low. He casually said, "Want to go out and have fun? It's so easy. Just take me with you. I know which places have good sound quality."
"Don't worry, your benefactor won't disturb your play. Your benefactor will just sit to the side and watch you."
He deliberately emphasized the words "benefactor".
Liu Siyi was somewhat tempted by his words, and also because he had helped her before, she couldn't refuse him directly.
She glanced at Fang Zhi and then at Jiang Yuze, but didn't agree immediately. Instead, she said she needed to think about it first.
......
Sunlight shone directly on the earth through the clouds. The thank-you drinks that Liu Siyi bought were left in the classroom. She asked Jiang Yu to go with them to Class 1 to get them.
The group left the cafeteria and headed towards the teaching building.
Two girls walked in front, while Jiang Yu and a group of friends followed behind them.
The male follower advised, "Brother Jiang, judging from the way that girl is avoiding you, you still have a long way to go in your pursuit of a girlfriend. Why not give up sooner rather than later?"
Before Jiang Yu could reply, Zhou Yiming scoffed, "Give up? Didn't you see Jiang's attitude? He went out all night yesterday, only to end up studying in an internet cafe."
The boy moved closer to Jiang Yuze and said with a grin:
"Alright, another mock exam is coming up soon. I'll just look at Jiang Ge's results after all his hard work."
Jiang Yu rubbed his cheeks and raised his hand as if to slap the boy on the back of the head, "You little brat, you deserve a beating?"
He always brings up the most sensitive topics; apart from English and Chinese, he finds the other subjects completely incomprehensible.
Thinking of this, a gloomy look appeared on the young man's handsome face.
How the hell is he supposed to date that girl with these grades? She's happily aiming for a top-tier university, while he's studying for a month and then going straight to repeating a year?
The boy chuckled slyly, "Wrong, wrong."
Seeing Jiang Yuzhe suffer a setback was a rare treat, so Zhou Yiming sang gleefully, "Some people fall in love, some watch the sea at night, and some guess nine out of ten questions, fail seven out of eight multiple-choice questions, and can't solve a single fill-in-the-blank question in six minutes..."
The two people walking in front were completely unaware of the commotion behind them.
Liu Siyi asked in a low voice, "Zhizhi, should we ask Jiang Yuze to come along? He seems to know that place very well."
"Siyi, it's your birthday, I'm fine with anything." Fang Zhi smiled gently.
She could tell that Siyi wanted to go, otherwise Siyi wouldn't have asked for her opinion. She didn't want Siyi's 18th birthday to be a regret because of her.
Seeing the worry on Liu Siyi's face, he heard her soft voice and said, "You don't need to worry that I mind Jiang Yuze."
"OK." Liu Siyi made up her mind. "Then it's settled."
Fang Zhi smiled slightly and said, "Mm."
Everyone is an independent individual, and she cannot control other people's thoughts. If Siyi wants him to go, then let him go.
Jiang Yu also seemed interested in pursuing her, and she had the right to refuse. Deep down, she occasionally envied his carefree attitude.
The vibrant, unrestrained energy he exuded was something she had never possessed before.
Fang Zhi's long eyelashes trembled, as if she had become increasingly dissatisfied with her age.
Her brother treats her very well; Fang Zhi is who she is today because of him. But recently, besides the fact that she can't accept her brother saying he likes her, she even feels somewhat suffocated by his tight control.
