Chapter 37 Chapter 37 How lucky she is!
Graduation from university is just around the corner. Ji Siyun specially set aside a day to attend the graduation ceremony with Song Youning.
The last item of the ceremony was taking a group graduation photo. Originally, everyone was supposed to stand according to their height, but Ji Siyun stood next to Song Youning and refused to leave. He turned a deaf ear to the complaints of his classmates around him. There were other classes queuing up behind him, so the photographer had to ask everyone to change seats.
"You're so tall, why do you have to stand next to me?" Before the photo was taken, Song Youning turned her head and complained to him, "The sun is too strong today."
Ji Siyun's eyes fell on her face. Her fair skin was crystal clear in the sunlight, and slightly pink due to the hot weather. The beads of sweat on the tip of her nose shone with a shiny luster.
He gently wiped the sweat from her nose, and naturally held her left hand with his right hand, squeezing his fingers into hers and interlocking theirs.
The people around them were all focused on managing their own image, and no one looked down to see them secretly holding hands.
"I want to stand by your side." Ji Siyun bent down and whispered in her ear, "I want to stand by your side on every important day of your life."
Surrounded by classmates, warm breath blew against her ears, and half of Song Youning's body was numb. People around her looked at her with either inquiry or surprise, and she quickly pushed Ji Siyun.
"Stand still."
Ji Siyun didn't move at all, but laughed in her ear, and the low sound made her ears itchy.
"Okay, my lady?"
Their ambiguous posture has attracted the attention of many classmates around them. Song Youning took a deep breath and forced a stiff smile. His lips did not move and the sound seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Okay, we'll take a picture soon, so stand still."
Only then did Ji Siyun stand facing forward.
The two stood very close to each other, and the tall young man subconsciously leaned towards the woman next to him. He held her hand tightly and gave a faint smile to the camera.
After taking the photos, they had free time. Song Youning didn't want to stay outdoors for too long in this weather, but Ji Siyun insisted on taking her for a stroll around the campus.
I don't know what to see.
He found that Song Youning was not opposed to holding hands with him, and Ji Siyun never let go of her hand since the photo shoot.
The soft little hand was wrapped in his palm. He gently kneaded her fingertips with his fingertips while walking around the campus with Song Youning, who looked reluctant.
They are both very good-looking. When they walk hand in hand in the school, people passing by can't help but take a second look. Whenever someone shows an envious expression, Ji Siyun will deliberately slow down his pace to appreciate their envious gazes.
His dark eyes gleamed with excitement and pride. The feeling of parading her through the streets was like declaring his status.
He is the one beside her now.
He was also the one holding her hand.
These good things that Ji Siyun had never dared to even think about before were like pie in the sky, hitting him so hard that he was dizzy and almost died of happiness.
Ji Siyun couldn't contain his joy at all, the corners of his mouth turned up, and it was hard not to notice his happiness.
Song Youning didn't understand why Ji Siyun looked so happy when he was just visiting the school.
"Of course, because you're with the host." The system observed more carefully than she did. "Didn't you see that whenever someone passed by and looked at you two more times, Ji Siyun couldn't help but smile with delight."
"Host, Ji Siyun really likes you very much."
Song Youning glanced downwards. The young man's large hand held her hand. Their palms were pressed tightly together, intimately intertwined.
Ji Siyun held her hand and was half a body length ahead of her. She looked up and saw his profile was delicate and beautiful in the sunlight. His eyes were dark and his long eyelashes drooped, casting a small shadow in the sunlight. His beautifully-shaped lips showed an unconcealable smile.
Song Youning followed his steps, watching intently.
After a while, she answered the system.
"Yeah, I know."
The system sighed in her mind: "Wow, host, your answer is so cold."
"What else? How do you think I should react?"
"Shy? Happy? Looking forward to it?"
Song Youning's eyes were calm, "I'm sorry, I haven't had these emotions for a long time."
The system asked again: "Don't you like Ji Siyun?"
Song Youning slowly shifted his gaze away from Ji Siyun and looked forward.
"Of course not."
The system was surprised: "Then why do you..."
Song Youning knew what the Pure Love System wanted to ask. She smiled and said calmly, "Of course, it's to complete the mission."
"But our mission isn't to fall in love with Ji Siyun." The system was confused by her, and it felt like its processor couldn't process it. "Host, can you explain it more clearly?"
Song Youning did not answer the system. Nothing she did could be without reason. Even during the two years when the system was offline, she was laying the groundwork for the future.
She said she was not a good person.
No one could shake her determination to go back.
Ji Siyun in front suddenly stopped. Song Youning came back to his senses and looked over. Lu Tingshuang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, led a group of reporters blocking their way.
"Quick, take a picture! That's the Song family's daughter Song Youning and adopted son Ji Siyun. They're actually together!"
The sound of shutter clicks mixed with the sound of flashes. Song Youning was dazzled and couldn't open her eyes. She frowned and subconsciously raised her hand to block the strong light, but someone was faster than her.
Ji Siyun stood in front of her, turned around and held Song Youning in his arms. In the flickering lights, he turned around with a gloomy face and looked at Lu Tingshuang who deliberately called these gossip reporters, with cold eyes.
One of the protagonists was blocked, and someone tried to come forward to take a clearer photo of Song Youning. Ji Siyun swung his arm, snatched his camera and threw it to the ground.
The flying debris made the surrounding reporters stop taking pictures instantly. They all protected their cameras and took a step back.
After making sure they didn't dare to take any more pictures, Ji Siyun let go of Song Youning and protected her behind him. His cold eyes swept across the reporters and returned to Lu Tingshuang. He said in a deep voice, "Ms. Lu, what do you mean by calling these people here?"
Lu Tingshuang crossed her arms and said loudly, "I thought everyone was saying your relationship was special, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"Song Youning previously told everyone that you were her brother. What are you doing now?"
"Being with the brother I grew up with." She showed Song Youning a look of disdain: "Does this count as adultery?"
"It's been so long since we last met, I thought you'd gotten smarter." Song Youning walked around Ji Siyun who was blocking his way and walked to the front. He glanced coldly at the group of people in front of him and said to Lu Tingshuang, "I have no blood relationship with him, so watch your mouth."
"So what if we're not related by blood? Legally, you're fictitious relatives." Lu Tingshuang was very proud. "Fictitious relatives are still family."
She deliberately dragged out the emphasis, with a look of disgust on her face: "Tsk tsk tsk, Song Youning, how can you fall in love with your own brother."
Song Youning was about to scold her to wake her up when Ji Siyun suddenly spoke up.
"I have terminated the adoption relationship with the Song family."
What?
Song Youning turned around in surprise. Ji Siyun opened a document on his phone and showed it to the surrounding reporters. He said calmly, "I terminated my adoption relationship with the Song family a year ago."
After showing them around, Ji Siyun put away his phone and said coldly, "I've memorized everyone's faces and newspaper logos. If any false information comes out later, I promise that the Song Group's lawsuit letter will be delivered to you the next day."
He looked at the reporter who had thrown his camera while trying to secretly take a photo of Song Youning and said, "You can contact my assistant to compensate for your losses."
Seeing that they couldn't afford to offend, the reporters quickly dispersed, leaving only Lu Tingshuang and some students watching the fun.
"When did it happen?" Song Youning frowned slightly, "Why did you do this?"
"I terminated it before returning to the company." Ji Siyun lowered his eyes, his dark pupils looking at her through his dark eyelashes. He pursed his lips, looking a little pitiful. "Maybe..."
"What could it be?" A hint of displeasure flashed in Song Youning's eyes.
Ji Siyun carefully pulled the corner of her clothes and whispered, "Maybe the master is worried that I will be a threat to the young lady in the future in the company, so..."
He tugged at the corner of her clothes, and her delicate face looked aggrieved, like a submissive young wife.
"Mr. didn't let me tell you, Miss, don't be angry."
Seeing that Song Youning didn't say anything, he went to hold her hand again, his voice low and soft: "Don't be angry, my eldest lady, I will never hide it from you again..."
Their disregard for the surroundings was particularly irritating to Lu Tingshuang. She clenched her fists and shouted, "Are you two done yet?"
An angry roar interrupted Ji Siyun's opportunity to take advantage of the situation and also woke up Song Youning who was lost in thought.
With regret, he watched Song Youning retract her hand after she came to her senses. When he looked up at Lu Tingshuang again, Ji Siyun's eyes were cold and blank. It could be said that he was looking at her as if she were a dead person.
Lu Tingshuang's scalp tingled at his creepy gaze, but she still stiffened her neck and said, "You two have been together for a long time. Isn't canceling the adoption just making things worse?"
Song Youning was not very willing to communicate with a stupid and bad person like Lu Tingshuang. At this moment, he was too lazy to lift his eyelids. After glancing at her, he raised his foot and wanted to walk around her and leave.
Lu Tingshuang couldn't stand being ignored, and started to speak without restraint in anger.
"Why is Ji Siyun still living in the Song family after the adoption relationship was terminated? Could he be being kept by Song Youning?"
"Ji Siyun, why do you think the Song family let you join the Song Corporation? It's because Song Youning is a clueless idiot! They're just using you, squeezing out your value, and making you work for Song Youning!"
Ji Siyun, who was following behind Song Youning, paused. Lu Tingshuang thought that her words had successfully alienated them, but she heard Ji Siyun's calm voice.
“I’m very grateful that I have this ability.”
He looked at Song Youning with burning eyes and a smile on his lips.
"It's my honor to be of some use to her."
Song Youning had already walked away. Ji Siyun turned his head and looked at Lu Tingshuang coldly: "Ms. Lu, the Lu family has lost a lot of projects recently. Instead of worrying about our affairs, why don't you go home and think about what role you play in your family."
He ignored Lu Tingshuang and turned to chase after Song Youning.
Lu Tingshuang stayed where she was, extremely angry.
I have seen many lickers, but this is the first time I have seen one lick to this extent.
How come Song Youning is so lucky!
