Chapter 20 Chapter 20 A huge chapter of 10,000 words! ...
Many girls came to the coffee shop where Ji Siyun worked part-time just for him. When they heard the beeping of the car horn, a lot of eyes were drawn to him.
Song Youning drives a luxury car and acts like a rich and unruly woman.
In contrast, Ji Siyun was carrying a schoolbag, dressed simply, and had just come out of his part-time job.
Poor, but really beautiful.
"Brother, do you want a ride?" She rolled down the window and started talking to him.
There was a sound of inhalation all around.
Ji Siyun's mouth widened, not caring about the surprised looks from those around him. He walked forward and opened the car door: "Okay, sister."
The luxury car arrogantly left a trail of exhaust fumes for the onlookers.
Ji Siyun sat in the car and realized that this was not the way home. "Sister, where are we going?"
His tone was so natural that Song Youning couldn't help but look over.
"To have dinner."
"Aren't you going home?" Ji Siyun opened his rosy lips slightly and called out deliberately, "Sister?"
"Okay, you're still addicted to role-playing." Song Youning rolled his eyes. "Let's eat out tonight."
Ji Siyun lowered his head, his drooping eyelashes half covering his dark eyes. He seemed a little bit incredulous and asked softly, "Will you take me with you?"
Song Youning didn't understand what he was talking about, and asked curiously, "How are you going to eat without me?"
Her answer made Ji Siyun's dull eyes light up. He was cheering in his heart, but immediately thought - is someone like him worthy of appearing at her birthday party?
He glanced at Song Youning quietly. The noble young lady was dressed in expensive clothes, and even the hair tie on her wrist cost several thousand yuan.
Ji Siyun looked at the rearview mirror again. The young man in the mirror had a gloomy face. In order to facilitate his part-time job, he wore clothes that he had bought himself before. The total amount of his clothes did not exceed one thousand.
The gap between them is as huge as heaven and earth. How could a man like him be worthy of wanting her?
His clenched fists clenched, and Ji Siyun's smile gradually disappeared.
Song Youning glanced at him and saw that his expression was not right, and he kept muttering in his heart: How did I offend him again?
Oh, hurry up and bring him up to celebrate his birthday to ease the relationship, and don’t let him turn evil too early.
Song Youning focused on the road ahead and stepped on the accelerator a little harder.
Ji Siyun's dark eyes dimmed. He turned his head to the outside and stared at Song Youning through the reflection of the glass window.
There was darkness and paranoia in his eyes that was no longer concealed. The gloomy gaze reflected through the glass window seemed to be stuck on her body, slippery and crazy.
She was so good, so good that he was increasingly reluctant to let her leave.
He wanted to pester her and would not let her go even if he died.
The snow has stopped and started falling again these days. The sky is very gloomy and it gets dark very early.
Song Youning handed the car keys to the hotel receptionist, turned around and greeted Ji Siyun who was standing at the gate in a daze after getting out of the car.
The young man's delicate and somewhat feminine face was hidden in the shadow of the porch, and his expression was not clear. Song Youning called him, but there was no response.
The glass curtain wall sparkled under the lights. Passing through the luxurious door, Ji Siyun could see the magnificent decoration inside the hotel.
The Song family's parents dote on their daughter, Song Youning, so her twentieth birthday will surely be a grand occasion...
Ji Siyun's hands hanging by his side unconsciously pinched the corner of his coat, which had been washed to a white color, and his lips were straight.
"Ji Siyun?" Song Youning walked up to him in confusion.
Ji Siyun's eyes fell to his feet, not daring to look at her. He forced himself to squeeze out an ugly smile: "Miss, I won't go up."
The fingers that were pinching the corner of his clothes turned white from exerting so much force, and the young man's smile became more bitter.
"If they see me, they'll embarrass you."
"They?" Song Youning raised his eyebrows and immediately understood what Ji Siyun meant.
In the past, every time the original owner had a birthday, the Song family's parents would hold a grand birthday party for her, but now the one using this identity is Song Youning from the real world. She doesn't like that kind of format and had already told them not to hold it this year.
She had already celebrated her birthday with her parents at noon, and the sports car that came to pick up Ji Siyun today was her birthday gift.
Ji Siyun thought she was going to take him to a birthday party?
She looked up and down at Ji Siyun. He was tall and thin, and the black, cheap clothes that were a bit old fit him neatly and did not look cheap.
The impoverished young man had an overly handsome face, with long, straight, thick eyelashes draped over his eyes, giving him a gentle and innocent look. However, his eyes were very dark, and when he looked at people, they were cold. Most of the time, those inorganic black pupils were calm and emotionless, and only on rare occasions would they reveal a hint of surging emotions.
Such people are clearly poisonous snakes lurking in the dark, always in an attacking posture, waiting for the moment when their prey exposes its weakness and then pounces on it to take its life.
But Song Youning didn't care about the threat at all. Instead, he was excited by the flattery that concealed murderous intent beneath his obedient appearance.
It's such a beauty that makes you want to destroy it. I really want to appreciate those black eyes filled with tears.
She reached out and gently grabbed Ji Siyun's fingers that were twisting the corner of his clothes and held them in her palm.
The fingers in his palm shrank, and Ji Siyun wanted to hide his hand but she held it tightly.
"Why are you hiding?" Song Youning shouted.
Ji Siyun's red lips were pursed until they turned pale, and he remained silent and refused to speak.
Song Youning knew what he was thinking. His pride was worn down by her in the past, and he had to bow his head in order to survive, but he still had a trace of self-respect.
He thought she had made him dress like that to attend the party so that people would laugh at his poverty.
In Ji Siyun's eyes, is she the kind of miser who is reluctant to give even a small amount of money to dress up her companions?
Like her friends, she was determined to marry someone equally and mutually beneficial, but that didn't stop her from dating ordinary boys beforehand. Even if it was just a short-term relationship, she would thoughtfully prepare expensive dresses to give them enough face.
Song Youning sighed slightly and explained to him: "There is no banquet, it's just us tonight."
She pulled his hand, her almond-shaped eyes narrowed into two crescents, and her dimples appeared.
"So Ji Siyun, do you want to come up with me?"
The big hand held hers back, his eyes brightened surprisingly under his black hair, and Ji Siyun nodded solemnly: "Yes."
The restaurant was booked by Song Youning tonight. With light music playing, the only sounds were the slight collisions of knives and forks with dishes on the dining table.
Most of the time, Ji Siyun was silent, and Song Youning didn't know what to say. In such a good atmosphere, the two of them just ate the food on the plate in silence.
Suddenly the lights went out, and the melodious violin music was replaced by a more cheerful piece of music. The waiter pushed the cake over. Ji Siyun clenched the small box in his pocket, his heart beating so fast that it seemed to burst out of his chest. He was about to speak, but Song Youning spoke faster than him.
"Happy birthday, Ji Siyun!"
She magically took out a birthday hat from somewhere and put it on his head, saying to him, "Make a wish!"
As if he was stunned by the huge surprise, Ji Siyun was unable to react for a moment. His dark eyes were wide open and he looked a little silly.
Song Youning pushed the cake in front of him and signaled him to hurry up with his eyes.
The dancing candlelight reflected on her face, leaving a soft shadow. Ji Siyun looked at her intently and leaned over to blow out the candle.
"Why did you blow out the candles without making a wish?" Song Youning complained.
"I made a wish." Ji Siyun said softly.
"You didn't even close your eyes..." Song Youning didn't believe him, and curled the corners of her mouth downwards. "Forget it, it's better to wish on me than on the cake."
She snapped her fingers, the lights came on again, and the waiter who was waiting beside her appeared from behind her. When she saw what he was holding in his hand, a blush quickly crept up Ji Siyun's pale cheeks.
Today's surprises one after another made Ji Siyun even start to doubt whether he was dreaming. He pinched his palm quietly, and the sharp pain made him feel at ease.
In the past, such things were arranged by secretaries. This time, Song Youning paid an extra sum of money to the restaurant, so when she saw the waiter walking past her with a bouquet of bright red roses, Song Youning almost spit out the water in her mouth.
"Sir, these are the flowers Miss Song sent you."
Song Youning's pupils trembled as she watched Ji Siyun take the bouquet of flowers.
"I don't..." Song Youning hesitated to speak.
Ji Siyun lowered his head slightly and sniffed the gorgeous rose in his arms. His delicate face looked a little shy against the backdrop of the bright flowers.
"Thank you." He held the bouquet of flowers, the gloom in his eyes faded, and the corners of his mouth turned up, showing her a shy smile: "This is the first time I have received flowers, I like it very much."
At this moment, he looked like just an innocent boy who would blush because of shyness.
Song Youning swallowed the explanation that was about to come out of his mouth and changed his words: "As long as you like it, I have something else to give you."
She took out a bank card from her bag and pushed it over on the table.
Ji Siyun's expression of holding the flowers and not letting go froze. Just as he was about to refuse, Song Youning held down his hand that was about to push the card back.
"I've thought about what you said last time. I know you have your own pride, but if you're always busy making a living, it's hard to have the energy to do more important things."
"You are very good and have your own ideas, but ideas alone are not enough. You need something more practical."
She knew that these would not convince Ji Siyun, so after explaining the reason, it was time to start her performance.
Song Youning raised her chin, put her hands on her hips, and said in a girlish, coquettish tone: "I didn't give it to you for free. This is my investment in you, and you have to pay it back in the future."
It was not until she said this that Ji Siyun's expression relaxed. After thinking for a moment, he solemnly took the card.
"Okay, I'll pay you double in the future."
"That's more like it." Song Youning breathed a sigh of relief after finally completing the process. "Want some cake?"
Ji Siyun shook his head. The box in his pocket had been warmed by his body temperature. He bit his lip, looked up and called Song Youning.
"Miss."
"Huh?" Song Youning had just scooped out a piece of cream and was about to smear it on Ji Siyun's face when he wasn't paying attention, but he suddenly called her and she quickly pretended nothing had happened.
Ji Siyun took a deep breath, took out the small box that had reached the same temperature as his body and placed it on the table.
"I have a gift for you too."
The small blue velvet box shone under the light. Song Youning looked at the box and then at Ji Siyun.
Could it be that there is a ring in here?
She overthought it. The box contained a delicate small bracelet, not a ring.
Song Youning recognized that this was a light luxury brand that was popular recently. Many young girls liked this brand's jewelry, and the prices were not cheap, especially for Ji Siyun now.
Ji Siyun swallowed nervously and didn't dare to look directly at Song Youning after he finished speaking. He glanced at her and found that after she opened the box and looked at it, her expression was calm and indifferent.
The noble young lady was wearing expensive clothes, so how could she smile at him just because he gave her a bracelet worth more than 10,000 yuan?
His throbbing heart was poured with a bucket of cold water, and his arms holding the bouquet tightened. When Song Youning was about to close the box, he suddenly stood up.
After carefully placing the flowers on the seat, Ji Siyun came to her and knelt on one knee, looking up at Song Youning. His tone was anxious, as if he was extremely afraid of being rejected by her.
"I will buy more expensive ones for the young lady in the future!"
Ji Siyun had received too much malice, but this was the first time he hated Li Tian so much. If his scholarship had not been cancelled because of Li Tian's report, he could have bought a better gift for Song Youning.
Under the slightly long black hair, the long eyelashes trembled, and Ji Siyun's voice was so low that it seemed like he was begging.
"This is all I can afford right now, Miss, please don't refuse me, okay?"
What answered him was a small white hand that suddenly stretched out in front of him. Ji Siyun felt a chill on his face, and something was smeared on his face by her.
Song Youning, who had successfully smeared the cream on Ji Siyun's face, smiled triumphantly. She confidently stretched out her mischievous hand towards him and said, "Put it on me."
His dark eyes lit up, and Ji Siyun immediately took out the bracelet from the box and gently put it on her outstretched slender wrist.
The shimmer of the diamonds on the thin chain was not as bright as the radiance of her snow-white skin under the light. There was still a little cream on her fingertips. When I put the bracelet on her, I got too close and the sweet fragrance kept rushing into my nose.
In the restaurant where they were alone, Ji Siyun knelt on one knee beside Song Youning's legs and put the bracelet on her. He held her wrist and held her fingertips with his red lips.
The slippery tongue wrapped around the cream on the fingertips, and in the quiet environment, the sound of swallowing saliva was particularly clear.
Song Youning's tone was somewhat helpless: "Ji Siyun, why are you licking me again?"
The young man kneeling at her feet spat out the fingertips that he had been holding in his mouth, pulled out a tissue and wiped them carefully for her, while answering calmly: "Because..."
He seemed to have no sense of shame at all, and smiled at Song Youning: "I am the eldest lady's dog."
Song Youning did all this today to ease their relationship, not to humiliate him. She was silent for a moment, waved away the big hand that was holding her wrist, and leaned slightly closer to him.
She stroked his cheek with her right hand and said to him with a very serious expression: "Ji Siyun, let's make peace for now."
Ji Siyun tilted his head back, and in his ecstasy he still noticed the strangeness of her choice of words.
"Temporarily? Miss, why temporarily?"
Because after the system figures out why the progress is so fast, she still has to complete the task and go home.
Song Youning put the blame on Ji Siyun without hesitation: "I don't know if you will betray me in the future."
She bit her lip lightly, and the corners of her round almond eyes turned down slightly, making her look a little pitiful.
"I treated you so badly before, won't you blame me? What if one day you want to take revenge on me..."
"No!"
Ji Siyun immediately denied it, and his big hand covered the soft little hand that was caressing his face. The gloomy and handsome young man gave Song Youning a serious assurance with his eyes.
"I won't betray my lady."
"The eldest lady is very nice to me." Ji Siyun kissed her palm lightly, leaving a wet and hot kiss on her hand.
He tilted his head slightly, rubbing his cheek against her palm, like a puppy trying to please its owner, and gave her the most harmless look.
Song Youning felt a little complicated.
If she hadn't seen the 80% progress already, she might have believed it.
…
Ever since the Lu siblings were tricked by her, neither they nor their followers have ever come to provoke Song Youning again. Ji Siyun still goes out early and comes back late, but he has quit those part-time jobs. With Song Youning's financial support, he is busy starting his own business recently.
The days were so peaceful that they were even a little boring.
After taking the last professional course, the semester was over. Song Youning wrote the last word on the test paper, put away his pen, and walked to the podium with the test paper.
"Have you finished writing?" The professor invigilating frowned.
Song Youning spends every day lying on the table either playing with his cell phone or sleeping. He even takes such a casual attitude in the final exam. He is really a fool with good looks but no education.
"I've finished." Song Youning handed him the test paper, stretched himself and walked out.
The professor shook his head and glanced at the test paper on the podium. His gaze paused, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Just as he was about to take a closer look, another test paper was stacked up and covered Song Youning's paper. Ji Siyun nodded to the professor, holding Song Youning's bag in his hand and followed him out.
When I walked out of the classroom, Song Youning was leaning against the wall with her arms folded. She pointed at her wrist impatiently and said, "Why did it take so long?"
In fact, it took only two minutes from the time she handed in the paper to the time Ji Siyun came out, which could not be considered long.
Ji Siyun looked at the shimmering bracelet on her wrist and kindly took out a scarf from his bag and put it on her: "Sorry to make you wait for me."
Song Youning was used to his care. She raised her head slightly to make it easier for him to tie her scarf. Half of her fair face was hidden under the scarf, leaving only a pair of bright eyes exposed.
"Are you home?" Ji Siyun's eyes dimmed slightly.
"Yes, it's finally vacation!" Song Youning, who was like going to college all over again, felt relaxed, turned around and walked out of the teaching building with brisk steps.
Ji Siyun followed her excited back with his eyes, smiling as he followed behind her.
The girl walked in front, and the young man carried her bag. He looked at her with extremely gentle eyes, just like a couple walking on campus. The atmosphere was so good that people felt embarrassed to disturb them.
But some people are blind.
Lu Xuting and Lu Tingshuang stopped Song Youning.
Ji Siyun's eyes quickly turned cold. He stepped forward to block Song Youning behind him and looked at them defensively: "What do you want to do?"
Lu Xuting still looked like a modest gentleman. He looked at Ji Siyun who was standing in front of Song Youning with disdain. He was not willing to talk to the adopted son of the Song family. He glanced past Ji Siyun and said to Song Youning behind him: "I came to you today to say sorry for what happened before."
He waved his hand, and Lu Tingshuang stepped forward, took Song Youning's hand, and said, "Youning, I was wrong before, I apologize to you."
She bit her lip, seeming to feel very guilty about what she had done.
But Song Youning still caught the resentment hidden in his eyes.
Song Youning smiled, she was a little curious about what the brother and sister wanted to do.
"I really just forgot. I didn't mean to withhold it from you." Lu Tingshuang wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes. "We are friends. You won't blame me, right?"
Such poor acting skills. Song Youning's smile widened. She cooperated with Lu Tingshuang's performance and grabbed the hand that was pulling her: "Of course not."
Song Youning secretly exerted his strength and smiled innocently: "We are, friends! Ah!"
Lu Tingshuang cursed in her heart why her grip was so strong that it was so painful that she couldn't keep the smile on her face.
It was Lu Xuting who separated their hands. The liberated Lu Tingshuang rubbed her hand that was hurt by Song Youning's grip and quickly hid behind Lu Xuting.
"It's great that Miss Song can forgive Ting Shuang." Lu Xuting was polite and had the good manners of a noble young man from an aristocratic family. "The Lu family will hold a banquet at the Peninsula Hotel the day after tomorrow night, and Miss Song is invited to attend."
Ji Siyun immediately refused: "No, Mr. Lu, the eldest lady is not going."
Lu Xuting glanced at him arrogantly, a sneer on his lips, "When did it become your turn as an adopted son to decide Miss Song's affairs?"
Ji Siyun was not afraid of him. Just as he was about to speak, someone pulled the corner of his clothes.
He turned his head, Song Youning shook his head at him, Ji Siyun pursed his lips and moved aside.
"Okay, since Mr. Lu has invited me, my brother and I will of course be there on time." Song Youning agreed with a smile.
The sense of defending Ji Siyun in her words made Lu Xuting look at the young man beside him a few more times, and suddenly laughed, "Okay, Ting Shuang and I will wait for you two to come."
His smile was apparently gentle, but the amusement didn't reach his eyes, which made Ji Siyun's danger radar go off.
After the agreement, the Lu brothers and sisters said goodbye to them and left. After walking a distance, Ji Siyun's tightly pursed lips relaxed.
"Miss." He seemed a little angry, "How could you agree to them?"
Song Youning was of course aware of the Hongmen Banquet, but he was indeed a bit bored recently...
She opened her big round eyes with an innocent look: "They all apologized to me. We are all friends after all."
"The way they treated you before, they didn't consider you a friend at all." Ji Siyun wanted to wake up the naive eldest lady.
"No." Song Youning's almond eyes flickered as he said, "I wasn't nice to you before, but you forgave me, didn't you?"
His words to persuade her faltered for a moment, and Ji Siyun squeezed out a sentence: "No, it's different..."
"Oh, what are you worried about?" She reached out and touched Ji Siyun's head, "Aren't you going with me?"
Ji Siyun was tall, so he bent down slightly to make it easier for her to touch him. His black hair was messed up by her, and he shook his head: "No, I'll stay with the young lady."
"Then you will protect me, right?"
The beautiful young lady narrowed her eyes at him and smiled innocently, without any defense.
His dark eyes turned serious, and Ji Siyun nodded solemnly: "I will protect the young lady."
…
Before attending the banquet, Song Youning specially took Ji Siyun to buy a suit. He was tall and had long legs, and with his exquisite face, he looked like a little aristocratic prince.
"Tsk, if there's enough time, it would definitely look better if I customized a set." Song Youning said to himself as he admired Ji Siyun's beauty.
Ji Siyun blushed when she looked at him, and was at a loss, but he deliberately turned towards her, wanting her to look at him.
The car stopped at the hotel gate, the driver got out and opened the door. Ji Siyun was about to step out of the car when he was suddenly stopped by Song Youning.
Xinxiang's body moved closer, and Song Youning's face suddenly enlarged in front of him. Ji Siyun swallowed his saliva, and his eyelashes trembled nervously.
Slender fingers adjusted his slightly crooked bow tie, and Song Youning patted Ji Siyun's shoulder: "Okay, get out of the car."
Only at this moment did Ji Siyun regain his breath.
The Lu family is indeed an old and wealthy family. The people attending the banquet are elites from all walks of life. As soon as they entered the banquet hall, Song Youning drove out Ji Siyun who was sticking to her.
"Such a great opportunity, go and talk to more people." Song Youning found a corner and said helplessly to Ji Siyun, "I'm right here, I won't run around. I just saw that the CEO of Zhiwei, whom you've been in contact with recently, is here too. Why don't you go over there?"
There were a lot of people at the banquet, and the Lu brothers and sisters were busy socializing and probably didn't have time to come. After Song Youning urged them repeatedly, Ji Siyun finally nodded. Before leaving, he repeatedly reminded Song Youning not to run around.
"I know, I know." Song Youning pushed him impatiently, "Go and do your thing."
Watching Ji Siyun walk into the crowd while looking back every few steps, Song Youning finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If he doesn't leave, how can he give the Lu brothers and sisters a chance?
Fortunately, Lu Tingshuang and the others didn't make Song Youning wait too long.
She deliberately chose a corner where no one came and stood there. In such an empty place, a young girl passed by her, her body tilted, as if she fell accidentally, and the red wine in her hand poured onto Song Youning.
Song Youning nimbly took a step to the side, and the girl who was falling towards her staggered, and the red wine that was about to splash on Song Youning's skirt spilled all over herself.
"You!" After the other party stopped, he pointed at Song Youning with a bad expression: "I almost fell down, and you didn't even help me up?"
Song Youning curled her lips innocently: "Aren't you standing quite steadily?"
The girl looked at the red wine stains on her dress with a look of heartache and annoyance. She glared at Song Youning fiercely and turned and ran away.
Song Youning shook her head and sighed slightly. If Lu Tingshuang only had this little trick of pouring wine on people, she would be really disappointed.
She was not interested in the food and drinks at the banquet. She looked through the crowd and found Ji Siyun who was having a great conversation with several bosses.
The young man was wearing an expensive suit made of fine fabric and tailored to his body. He had an upright posture, a noble temperament, and exuded confidence in his every move.
This was the first time Song Youning saw Ji Siyun like this.
It seemed like he looked more pleasing like this than when he was gloomy and silent.
It probably wouldn't be over for a while, so Song Youning quietly moved towards the door of the banquet hall, trying to find a place to sit and wait for Ji Siyun. When he was about to reach the door, someone suddenly grabbed his wrist.
"Youning, where are you going?"
Song Youning raised his eyelids: Here it comes, it’s finally here!
She turned around and smiled at Lu Tingshuang: "I'm a little bored, I'm going to go out for some fresh air."
Lu Tingshuang took her arm in a familiar manner and said, "This kind of party is just like that. There's nothing we can do about it."
She leaned close to Song Youning's ear, like two close friends whispering to each other: "There's a private room upstairs, we can go there to play."
Song Youning looked innocent and asked her, "What are you playing?"
Lu Tingshuang smiled evilly and whispered, "Singing, drinking, and..." She winked at Song Youning with an ambiguous look and pulled Song Youning out, "You'll know when you get there."
Song Youning allowed Lu Tingshuang to take him to the private room upstairs. The lights there were dim. Lu Tingshuang looked at Song Youning, who was curious and didn't understand anything, and the malice in his eyes was almost overflowing.
She called the manager and whispered a few words to him. A few minutes later, the door of the private room opened and a group of young and handsome young men walked in and lined up one after another.
Song Youning's eyes lit up, and he pretended not to understand and asked Lu Tingshuang: "Tingshuang, what are you doing?"
"Pick one." Lu Tingshuang pushed her. "I'll pay for it. Just consider it as an apology for what happened before."
"Ah, this is not good..."
Song Youning's tone was a little hesitant. Lu Tingshuang was about to continue to persuade her when she suddenly heard her pointing at one of the men in a white shirt and black pants and said excitedly, "Then let's go with him."
Lu Tingshuang rolled her eyes: I thought she was really innocent, but it turns out she was just pretending.
"Okay, you, you, stay." Lu Tingshuang also pointed to someone to stay, and the person who was not selected left the room.
The two people who stayed sat next to her and Song Youning respectively. Lu Tingshuang signaled with her eyes, and the young man in the white shirt picked up the wine glass on the table and handed it to Song Youning's mouth.
"Miss, don't just sing, would you like to have a drink?"
Song Youning chose him to stay because his clothes were somewhat similar to Ji Siyun's, which was quite pleasing to the eye, but the sound of his husky voice when he came close to her made her feel sick.
Ji Siyun is still well-behaved.
She pushed the wine glass away with a righteous look on her face and said, "I drove here, so I can't drink."
"You can call a designated driver and have a drink." The young man continued to persuade.
After trying to persuade him several times, Song Youning remained unmoved. The young man had no choice but to put down his wine glass and secretly look at Lu Tingshuang.
Seeing that Song Youning refused to drink no matter what, Lu Tingshuang gritted her teeth and sneered: Song Youning, you asked for it if you don't accept my toast.
"I see you didn't drink anything just now. Are you thirsty?" Lu Tingshuang restrained his expression and turned to talk to Song Youning with concern in his tone.
Song Youning hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said embarrassedly: "A little."
"I'll go downstairs and get you a glass of juice." Lu Tingshuang stood up immediately.
"I'll go with you..." Song Youning hurriedly tried to stand up, but Lu Tingshuang pressed his shoulders and made him sit down.
"It's just a few steps away, there's no need. You can play by yourself for a while." Lu Tingshuang said and left quickly.
In the darkness, Song Youning's lips curled up into a playful smile.
…
After Ji Siyun finished talking with Zhiwei's boss, he met with several industry leaders whom he had not been able to meet before with his introduction. After discussing work with them, Ji Siyun subconsciously looked at the corner where Song Youning was - it was empty, she was no longer there.
He panicked for a moment, said goodbye to several bosses immediately, and looked for Song Youning in the banquet hall.
But she was too lazy to take her bag before coming in, and her cell phone was too heavy, so she asked Ji Siyun to put it on him. The huge banquet hall was crowded with people coming and going, and Ji Siyun looked around, but Song Youning seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
Not finding anyone in the hall, Ji Siyun began to look outside. When he was extremely anxious, he suddenly heard Lu Tingshuang's voice at the corner of the stairs.
"Are you sure this isn't life-threatening?"
Ji Siyun hid his body in the shadow of the stairs and listened to Lu Tingshuang talking on the phone.
"Don't worry, you'll just feel a little dizzy and a little hot, nothing serious. You won't die."
Lu Tingshuang was not satisfied with this answer: "It's just a little hot?"
The voice on the phone laughed gruffly, "Second Miss, it's not good to be so blunt, is it?"
Lu Tingshuang understood what he meant and said to the phone, "Second Miss? I don't understand what you are saying. I've transferred the money to you. Shut up!"
"I know, I know, don't worry."
After Lu Tingshuang hung up the phone, she immediately left. Ji Siyun came out from the shadows below. After thinking for a while, his face changed drastically - Song Youning!
He raised his foot and followed.
Lu Tingshuang quickly came in with a glass of peach juice. Song Youning took the glass and, under Lu Tingshuang's expectant gaze, his lips were about to touch the rim of the glass, but he suddenly put it down.
"My song, my song!" Song Youning put the cup on the coffee table and picked up the microphone.
Lu Tingshuang only had eyes for the drink. She swallowed, as it was her first time doing such a thing, and she felt a little guilty. She sat for a while and then pretended to have something urgent to do.
"My brother asked me to go out for a while." Lu Tingshuang pointed at the glass of peach juice in the white shirt sitting next to her and said to Song Youning, "You go play first, I'll be back soon."
"Okay, you go ahead and do your work." Song Youning stared at the lyrics on the screen and took the time to reply.
Lu Tingshuang called away another young man, leaving only the one chosen by Song Youning. Before leaving, she looked at Song Youning deeply and then closed the door.
Before leaving, she hesitated and asked the person next to her, "Are you sure he only takes pictures and doesn't do anything else?"
The young man gave a flattering smile: "Sister Lu, are you still not confident in my ability to handle things? We won't do anything rash."
After the song ended, the man in the white shirt held up the cup of peach juice and passed it to Song Youning's lips with a flattering smile on his face: "Miss Song sings beautifully. Have a drink to moisten your throat."
The peach-scented juice was held in front of him. Lu Tingshuang brought the drink herself. Song Youning knew without a doubt that something must have been added to it.
Does Lu Tingshuang have any brains at all? How dare she set up such an obvious trap?
Would a rich and arrogant daughter personally deliver a drink to the culprit who just embarrassed her?
If something really happened to Song Youning today, the first person to be suspected would be Lu Tingshuang.
Just as I was thinking about how to refuse this glass of juice, the door of the private room was suddenly opened and Ji Siyun appeared at the door, panting.
The idea of refusing changed instantly. In front of Ji Siyun, Song Youning deliberately raised his hand and touched the hand of the young man in the white shirt holding the glass, pretending to be about to drink.
There was a little distance between her and the man in white shirt, but in order to feed her the drink, the man in white shirt leaned forward slightly with his upper body, which looked like an ambiguous action of being very close, almost hugging.
Ji Siyun had a gloomy expression. He strode up to the two of them, exuding a murderous aura. His sinister and fierce gaze made the man in white shirt's scalp tingle, and he even froze in his action of feeding Song Youning a drink.
The man's sinister and terrifying eyes fell on his hand that was holding the glass to Song Youning's mouth. His expression was as if he wanted to chop off his hand. The man in the white shirt was frightened by the coldness emanating from Ji Siyun, and his hands trembled. He subconsciously put the glass back on the coffee table.
The young man's narrow eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his low, cold voice rang out: "Get lost."
The man in the white shirt looked at Song Youning, who was calm and composed, as if completely unaware of the murderous aura, and said with a stiff upper lip, "This is my guest..."
Suddenly, he was pulled to his feet by the collar with great force. The sudden flash of crimson in his dark eyes frightened him so much that his legs went limp. The man in the white shirt quickly raised his hands: "I'm out! I'm out!"
Ji Siyun suddenly let go of his hand, and the man in white shirt regained the right to breathe fresh air. He crawled out of the private room, and did not forget to help close the door.
After driving away the annoying people around her, Ji Siyun turned around and saw the untouched juice on the coffee table, and the dark emotions surging in her heart gradually subsided.
Fortunately, it was still in time and she hadn't drunk it yet.
He looked at Song Youning's right hand again. She had just touched that person's hand...
Ji Siyun's eyes turned red again.
Those men are so dirty, how could she touch the hands of any man other than him!
Song Youning sat upright on the sofa, looking at the fire burning in Ji Siyun's dark eyes.
His face was pale and delicate beneath his black hair, and his tightly pursed lips revealed that he was extremely restless at the moment. The look he cast was dark and crazy without any disguise.
She just came out to sing a song, did Ji Siyun have to stare at her as if he had caught her cheating?
Just when Song Youning thought Ji Siyun was about to get angry, the young man came in front of her, and his tall figure retreated inch by inch. He knelt at her feet, with a tense face and angry eyes, he took out a tissue and wiped her right hand.
But there's nothing dirty on her hands?
Even though he knew that Ji Siyun was about to go crazy, Song Youning didn't mind adding fuel to the fire: "Ji Siyun, you're affecting my fun, do you know?"
With his back teeth nearly broken, Ji Siyun desperately suppressed his dark thoughts of wanting to lock her up and let her only look at him, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, Miss."
"Oh, forget it, you just say sorry." Song Youning pulled her hand out of his, "I'll go play with them."
"Miss, they... they are not sincere to you." Ji Siyun grabbed the corner of her clothes, eager to express his loyalty to her.
"I am your dog." Only Song Youning's figure was in his wet black eyes. "I am absolutely loyal to you."
"Really?" Song Youning tilted her head in embarrassment. The girl looked innocent and confused. "But they are all my friends."
She pointed to the juice on the coffee table and said, "I said I was thirsty, and they brought me my favorite peach juice."
Ji Siyun looked at the drink.
The light pink liquid exuded the aroma of peaches, and there was no trace on the rim of the cup. She had not yet drunk the added liquid.
"The drinks outside are not clean." Ji Siyun didn't want his kind and innocent young lady to know the dirty thoughts of those people. The palms on his legs tightened slightly, and he coaxed her gently: "I'll go back and buy fresh peaches and squeeze juice for you, okay?"
"But my friends will be sad..."
The kind-hearted young lady frowned, pursed her lips in embarrassment, then suddenly smiled brightly. She picked up the glass of peach juice and handed it to him.
"Just help me drink it!"
Her slender white palms were clasped together holding the glass, the scent of peach and her unique jasmine tea intertwined. Ji Siyun stared at the drink and swallowed with difficulty.
"You don't want to drink either?" Song Youning sighed, "Then only..."
She was about to withdraw her hand when a pair of large hands wrapped around her palm and held the glass of juice together.
The young man knelt at her feet, tilted his head and smiled tenderly at her.
"Miss." Ji Siyun knew what was in the drink. "I'll drink it."
