The noise in the classroom seemed to have subsided, almost inaudible, and a silence filled the air.
Fang Zhi lowered his eyes and stared at the boy's shoulder. He should have been a carefree and spirited young man.
"Jiang Yuzhe," she said softly.
The words "You don't need to do this for me" were brewing in my mouth, but before I could say them, I was interrupted.
"Fang Zhi." Afraid that she would refuse again, Jiang Yu called out to her, withdrawing his arm and his sadness at the same time, "I just heard you say you were going to rob a bank."
Distracted by his words, the girl blushed and shook her head, "No, I didn't mean that."
“I understand.” He curled his lips into a smile, his low, husky voice carrying a hint of mockery. “But if you’re really planning to rob a bank, remember to tell me beforehand.”
“After all, my dad is the bank manager. I can go to him first to find out the situation for you, and then go with you to commit the crime. Maybe that way we'll be arrested later.”
Knowing he was teasing her on purpose, Fang Zhi still felt a little embarrassed and said, "Jiang, please stop talking!"
The girl's voice was soft and melodious, but she spoke very quickly, clearly in a hurry, with a hint of embarrassment and anger.
"Okay." Jiang Yu's eyes were filled with a smile, warm light flowing within them, and he readily agreed, "I won't say anything more."
After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other and chuckled softly.
"Fang Zhi, Fang Zhi, may your exam go smoothly."
"You too, I hope you do exceptionally well in your exam."
"You go back to class first," Jiang Yu waved to her. "I need to go to the restroom."
"Mm," the girl replied, turning to walk back.
Jiang Yu stood there watching Fang Zhi's figure gradually recede into the distance until it disappeared, then rested his cheek on his hand and sneered.
I still couldn't add her on her chat app.
Fortunately, he had written down her phone number.
......
As the bell rang, the candidates in the examination room stood up one after another, and the last subject, English, came to an end as the invigilators collected, sorted, and sealed the test papers.
Fang Zhi was the last one to leave the examination room.
She was lucky; she was assigned to the Shangde Senior Three exam room. She looked back and gazed deeply at the teaching building and the familiar surroundings.
Two months from now, a new batch of students will arrive here. And her three years here will come to a complete end at this time.
Crowds thronged the school gate, with countless parents coming to pick up their children from both private and regular high schools.
A diverse array of vehicles, from small electric bikes to large sedans, converged at the scene, creating a complex and chaotic atmosphere. Uniformed traffic police diligently maintained order.
Fang Zhi spotted Qi Shen at a glance in the crowded throng.
Wearing a white shirt and trousers, he looked like he had just come from the company. Sunlight filtered through the fabric of the shirt, highlighting his broad shoulders and narrow waist, and his posture was upright and dignified.
He was bathed in a golden halo. Despite the sweltering summer heat, the man's exceptionally handsome face showed no signs of distress or sweat, as if he were separated from those around him by an invisible barrier.
Her temperament has become increasingly refined and elegant.
The scenes overlapped, and I realized that there had been a moment of disorientation:
Back then, she stood at the school gate waiting for him to come out of the exam hall; now the roles are reversed, and he's waiting for her. Time seems to have been accelerated; everything seems to have changed, yet it also seems unchanged.
Across the road, Qi Shen also saw her.
Fang Zhi learned that SQ had a particularly important project recently, involving nearly three figures of staff from the partner company, which he couldn't refuse, so he couldn't come to wait for her.
He made a point of finishing up the most important part of his work today and then rushed over.
Seeing the girl standing still, looking absent-minded, he raised an eyebrow slightly, and strode towards her with his long legs encased in his suit trousers.
"Zhizhi." Qi Shen stopped in front of Fang Zhi, met her unfocused eyes, reached out and patted her head, his voice gentle, "Did you not do well on your English exam?"
Then, as if waking from a dream, he realized, "It's alright."
Qi Shen picked up a strand of long hair with his index finger and played with it for a moment before letting go. "Why does Zhizhi look so dazed? I thought the questions were too difficult."
"The questions weren't difficult." Fang Zhi pursed her upper lip slightly, "It just suddenly reminded me of my brother's college entrance exam."
Upon hearing this, Qi Shen was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and remained calm, making it difficult for anyone to notice. "I'm happy that Zhizhi remembers her brother. You've worked hard on the exams these past two days. Get a good rest when you get home later."
His thin lips curled slightly upwards, and his dark eyes reflected the girl's fair face, revealing a gentle, faint smile—a joy that emanated from the bottom of his heart.
Qi Shen's superior bone structure and handsome appearance make him incredibly charming. His genuine smile is extremely captivating, and his gentlemanly, upright, and mature demeanor is highly alluring.
Humans are visual creatures, and they like to appreciate beautiful people and things. Even Fang Zhi, who had seen him for many years, was stunned and subconsciously murmured, "I know, brother."
Seeing the little girl staring intently at him, Qi Shen's smile deepened. "Let's go, I'll take you home."
Fang Zhi realized that his actions were inappropriate and quickly looked away, trying to make amends: "Brother, aren't you going back?"
"I need to rush back to the company after I take you home." Qi Shen naturally took her hand. "I might have to work overtime tonight, so I only had time to pick up Zhizhi."
She only realized she needed to struggle in front of everyone. The soft hand had barely moved when the hand holding her tightened suddenly. Although the force wasn't strong, it was enough to prevent her from breaking free.
Helpless, she lowered her head and let him lead her away.

Not far away, a beautiful young girl in a gorgeous dress was searching for something. Her pretty eyes inadvertently revealed an air of arrogance, clearly the confidence that came from being pampered and spoiled by those around her.
