Zhen Tian glanced back at Ye Qingyan, a sheepish smile on her face. After all, she had promised to accompany Qingyan on her special day…
"Let's go, let's go!" Ye Qingyan waved her hand. "Don't forget we agreed to hang out tomorrow. We'll be waiting for you at the bookstore at nine o'clock."
"Okay!"
Zhen Tian quickly grabbed her backpack and flew to Ji Yuzhi's side like a little swallow, clinging to him: "Let's go home."
After taking Zhen Tian's backpack, Ji Yuzhi nodded to the boys and girls in the room as a greeting.
"Are you going to the bookstore tomorrow?" On the way home, Ji Yuzhi listened to Zhen Tian chattering away about her school stories, and it took him a long time to finally ask.
"yes."
Who are they?
Zhen Tian looked up at him: "It's Qingyan, Yuanyuan, Junli, and Brother Yang."
Ji Yuzhi asked calmly, "Did those two boys leave?"
"yes."
"Do you want me to come with you?"
Zhen Tian's eyes lit up immediately: "Really? You have time?"
It's no wonder Zhen Tian suspected him. Since entering her senior year of high school, Ji Yuzhi has been so busy that he's sometimes nowhere to be seen.
Before Ji Yuzhi could answer, Zhen Tian suddenly remembered what she was supposed to do at the bookstore tomorrow, and she said a little guiltyly, "Never mind, you'd better not go."
Ji Yuzhi raised an eyebrow. It was the first time Zhen Tian had rejected him, and he couldn't quite describe the mixed feelings he was experiencing.
"Why won't you let me go?" he pressed.
"Um...we're going on a trip with classmates, it's inconvenient to bring you along." Zhen Tian's eyes darted around; she couldn't very well tell him that she was going to buy novels with Qingyan.
"Oh!" He remained silent.
Zhen Tian cautiously looked up at him. Even though he was expressionless, she knew he was feeling down.
Gently tugging at his sleeve, Zhen Tian said with a hint of coaxing, "Don't be sad, I'll come back early tomorrow to be with you."
Ji Yuzhi remained silent.
Zhen Tian suddenly felt a pang of conscience. In the past, she was the one who had begged Zhizhi to stay with her. Although he would verbally refuse each time, he would still stay by her side. Now, she felt particularly heartless for doing this.
"Then I won't go tomorrow, how about I go with you?" She looked conflicted, as if she had made a very important decision.
She didn't want to stand up her good friend, but she also didn't want to be heartbroken.
Ji Yuzhi could no longer pretend; he got the answer he wanted.
"You can go out and have fun, I have things to do tomorrow too." He smiled and ruffled her hair.
"Really?" She saw him smile and smiled back.
"real!"
"Okay, then I'll definitely come back early tomorrow."
Zhen Tian was laughing and joking again, carefree. Ji Yuzhi looked at her back, lowered his head, and pursed his lips to hide his smile.
As long as he's the most important one, that's enough.
…………
The next day, everyone arrived at the bookstore entrance.
"Let's go in!" Ye Qingyan pulled Zhen Tian and pushed open the bookstore door.
"Why don't I see Yuan Yuan? Did she go in first?" Zhen Tian looked around.
Ye Qingyan shook her head: "I just received a call. Yuan Yuan suddenly has something to do and can't come."
"Oh, that's a pity!" Zhen Tian was especially happy to be on her first outing with her friends.
"Yes, I prepared a lot of delicious food." Ye Qingyan patted her backpack. "But it's fine, anyway, Yuanyuan doesn't read these novels we bought."
"A novel?" Yang Feiguang had exceptionally good hearing and immediately caught the key point.
"OK!"
"What are you looking at? Recommend us too!" He grabbed Shao Junli's shoulders and leaned forward.
Shao Junli pushed Yang Feiguang away, who was hugging his neck again, and sighed helplessly.
"What are you reading, the girls' novels we're reading?" Ye Qingyan pulled Zhen Tian and walked familiarly toward the categorized bookshelves. "Besides, Jun Li is here to buy teaching materials. You two study them properly and don't bother me and Tian Tian."
Ever since Ye Qingyan got her hooked on novels, Zhen Tian felt like she had entered another world.
"This is super good." Ye Qingyan stuffed a book into her arms.
Zhen Tian also flipped to the synopsis section and said to Ye Qingyan, "I don't want to read books like this anymore. They're too heartbreaking. I feel sad for a long time after reading them."
Ye Qingyan laughed heartily: "I was like that at first too, but now I like it the more agonizing it is, the happier I am."
You're a pervert!
You're the pervert!
After a brief shoving between the two, Ye Qingyan stuffed a few books into her arms: "These are all the kind that'll make your teeth ache with sweetness, they should be your kind of books. Next time, I'll take you to read some super satisfying novels, the kind where the female lead gets revenge, levels up, and fights monsters, they're really exciting to read."
"OK."
"What do you think they're researching that makes them so happy?" Yang Feiguang held the test paper that Shao Junli had chosen, his eyes constantly glancing at Ye Qingyan and Zhen Tian, his elbow restlessly nudging Shao Junli.
"I don't know," Shao Junli replied only when he was annoyed by his retorts.
"Girls' friendships are truly terrifying!" Yang Feiguang shook his head with a tsk tsk before turning his gaze to Shao Junli: "No, I'm telling you, bro, you really came to the bookstore to pick out books?"
He already had several exam papers in his hand, and he was still picking and choosing.
"Otherwise, why come to a bookstore?" Shao Junli asked him in return.
"No, hey! At this rate, when will you ever win over Tian Tian?" Yang Feiguang said with exasperation, "You can choose any book you want, but right now you should be hanging out with those two, chatting and laughing with them, you know?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Shao Jun turned his head away, hiding the unnatural expression on his face.
"I'm talking nonsense." Yang Feiguang snatched the book from Shao Junli's hand and put it down: "Brother, you have to hurry up and grab such a good girl like Tiantian. If someone else beats her to it, you'll be crying your eyes out."
Seeing Shao Junli standing there in a daze, Yang Feiguang was extremely anxious.
"Still thinking? What are you thinking about? Come on, come on! Go run, jump, and bravely do a handstand!" Yang Feiguang pushed Shao Junli toward the two of them.
"Hey, what do you mean?"
As soon as Shao Junli finished speaking, Yang Feiguang pushed him to the side of the two girls.
"What?" Zhen Tian turned to look at him, her little face full of confusion.
"It's nothing! I'm talking to Lao Yang." Shao Junli awkwardly touched his cheek.
"Oh." Zhen Tian turned back and looked at the introduction seriously.
"Where's Ye Qingyan?" Yang Feiguang looked around. "She was just here."
"Oh, Qingyan was called away by a boy!" Zhen Tian glanced over and pointed to a corner: "There."
Yang Feiguang followed Zhen Tian's gesture and looked over. Ye Qingyan was chatting and laughing happily with a boy she didn't know.
Ye Qingyan returned shortly after and asked, "What's going on?"
"Nothing much!" Ye Qingyan tossed her hair. "That guy asked me out, so I chatted with him."
"Romantic encounters in bookstores?" Yang Feiguang exclaimed in disbelief, "Awesome, awesome!"
"You flatter me!"
