Chapter 27
Shi Ye noticed her gaze and explained, "In a week, I will be attending an international exchange forum with my mentor, so I need to make some preparations."
Jiang Zhinian whispered, "It's all in English."
"Yes, because there will be many foreign experts and scholars coming to participate in the exchange."
"Are you going out of town?"
"Yes, it's not far away, in the next province, and the high-speed rail takes only three hours to get there."
"How many days are you going?"
"The forum lasts five days."
Jiang Zhinian didn't realize that her current behavior was very much like a wife checking up on her husband.
Or maybe in her subconscious, she didn't want to be separated from him for so long.
"There's something near the mouth."
Um?
Jiang Zhinian looked up blankly, and when he realized what was happening, he felt a little embarrassed.
No matter what you eat, food always gets on your face.
She reached out to touch the left side of her mouth. "Ah, here?"
"No." Shi Ye stood up, bent down slightly, leaned closer across the table, and raised his hand to wipe the oatmeal off her face.
It turned out to be on the right.
Jiang Zhinian wiped his face uncomfortably.
Shi Ye put his index finger to her lips.
Jiang Zhinian was stunned, not understanding what this meant.
Seeing that she didn't react, Shi Ye began to slowly move his slender fingers around her lips.
Jiang Zhinian unconsciously pursed her lips wherever he touched her.
"Why don't you eat?" The gray eyes stared straight into Jiang Zhinian's eyes, and the expression seemed to blame her for being a child who wasted food.
As if bewitched by the low tone, she opened her mouth and slowly stuck out her tongue. Like a kitten, she licked Shi Ye's fingers clean with the soft tip of her tongue.
Shi Ye withdrew his hand with satisfaction: "Be good."
He sat back in his seat, picked up the spoon and continued to eat his oatmeal, as if everything that had just happened was just Jiang Zhinian's illusion.
What happened, what did I do...
I just licked Shi Ye's finger?
Jiang Zhinian's face instantly turned red, and he wished he could dig a hole and bury himself in it.
Shi Ye slowly rubbed the fingers that she had licked, and the soft touch just now seemed to still remain on them.
It's a wonderful feeling, as if my fingers are being wrapped around the softest thing in the world.
He smiled, looked up, and noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Zhinian.
He had clearly used the methods in the book to comfort her, so why did his face get even redder?
…
The gathering place was set in a private room in a hotel.
When I pushed the door open, there were already five people sitting inside, three men and two women.
"Shi Shen, you always make us wait for you. Come, come, come, give me a glass of boiled water as punishment."
They all knew that Shi Ye never drank alcohol in order to ensure that his surgeon's hands did not shake, so every time they gathered together, they asked him to drink boiled water.
Shi Ye smiled, picked up the water cup on the table and compared it, then tilted his head back and took a sip.
"Time God, why don't you introduce us."
Shi Ye asked Jiang Zhinian to sit down first, and then introduced them one by one.
"Jiang Tao, you met me last time." Jiang Tao smiled and waved to Jiang Zhinian.
"Wang Bo, lawyer."
Wang Bo wore a pair of glasses and had his hair combed meticulously, but he looked very casual. He raised his hand to greet Jiang Zhinian and patted the girl next to him.
"Yuan Miaomiao, my girlfriend, is a painter."
Yuan Miaomiao is very cute, with a round face and a lively personality. She greeted Jiang Zhinian.
After Shi Ye and the other two finished greeting each other, he continued, "Zhou Hongsheng, programmer."
Zhou Hongsheng was wearing a plaid shirt. He waved to Jiang Zhinian a little stiffly, then turned around to introduce the long-haired girl next to him.
As a result, the girl raised her eyelids and said coldly to Shi Ye: "Why don't you introduce me."
As soon as she said this, everyone felt a little embarrassed.
Zhou Hongsheng anxiously pulled her sleeve and said, "Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't talk nonsense?"
The girl glanced at him and asked, "Did I talk nonsense?"
Her eyes continued to lock on Shi Ye's face: "We are all high school classmates, why don't you dare to introduce me."
Jiang Zhinian blinked, with some vague guesses in his mind. In fact, since she came in, this girl's eyes have been fixed on her.
Perhaps it was a girl's sixth sense, she immediately realized that this look with a hint of jealousy and resentment was because of Shi Ye.
What kind of relationship will they have?
High school classmate, could this be my first love...
Jiang Zhinian's eyes quickly swept over the girl and found that she was not a beauty in the traditional sense, but she had narrow eyebrows and eyes, the kind of cold and elegant queen with aggressive beauty.
After a long period of anxious contemplation, Shi Ye spoke calmly, "Zhou Hongyun, Zhou Hongsheng's twin sister. Her occupation is unknown."
"I just came back from studying in the UK and currently work as an analysis manager at IMT." Zhou Hongyun glanced at Jiang Zhinian and sneered, "Shi Ye, you're so vulgar."
She really planned to be celibate for the rest of her life, but after all this time, she was still like an ordinary man, liking vulgar beauties.
It’s still the lowest level, pitiful and pure little white flower.
Jiang Zhinian sensed Zhou Hongyun's malice and moved uneasily.
Shi Ye lowered his head, put his hand on Jiang Zhinian's back, and patted her gently: "My wife Jiang Zhinian, an elementary school teacher."
He paused and added, "We were college classmates."
Seeing that Shi Ye didn't bother with Zhou Hongyun, Zhou Hongsheng breathed a sigh of relief and pulled his sister's arm: "If you continue like this, I will leave immediately."
In fact, this time he didn't intentionally bring his sister to cause trouble, but she somehow found out that he was going out for dinner and secretly followed him out.
When he reached the door of the box, he realized that he couldn't get rid of them, so he could only make three rules.
It didn't work, and he was really sorry.
Shi Ye sat down, and Jiang Tao came out to smooth things over: "You kid, you didn't even tell me you were getting married in advance. I only found out about it through your circle of friends. You have to treat me to dinner today, right?"
Wang Bo put his arm behind his girlfriend and agreed, "Exactly. I thought I would be the first one among us to get married, but you got there first."
Yuan Miaomiao, who was beside him, felt a little shy when she heard this, and took a sip of the juice in front of her to cover up.
Zhou Hongsheng wasn't good with words, but he was a very down-to-earth person. He picked up the wine glass in front of him and said, "God of Time, I'm not good at talking, but I'll toast you a glass. I wish you two a long and happy marriage and a son soon."
After saying that, he raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp.
"Hey, don't do that. It hasn't even started yet. Why are you drinking so fast?"
After Jiang Tao finished speaking, everyone started to give speeches and toast.
Zhou Hongyun suddenly said, "We've all gathered here on purpose. It's fine if Shi Ye can't drink, but it's not right for the bride not to have a drink on such a festive occasion."
