The news that Ji Yuzhi and Zhen Tian were engaged somehow spread throughout the entire school.
Even the senior students, who have only twenty-odd days left until the college entrance examination, can't help but gossip a bit as a way to relax.
The process of Zhen Tian's father and Ji Yu's father exchanging in-law greetings in the office became a popular topic of conversation after dinner.
"Wow, you guys are amazing!" Ye Qingyan thought this couple was absolutely incredible: "You two are an officially recognized couple."
She excitedly slammed her hand on the table, her excitement overflowing.
No one noticed the obvious disappointment on Shao Junli's face. They weren't actually siblings after all...
"The school's forum, which had been dormant for eight hundred years, has been blown up because of the two of you." Yuan Yuan spread her phone out in front of the two of them, actively participating in this gossip.
"I wish I were here." Ye Qingyan held Zhen Tian's wrist, repeatedly examining the exquisite bracelet on it: "Although I don't quite understand it!"
She clapped her hands suddenly: "But it's obviously a valuable item! How much is it worth?"
"Is money important? It's the sentiment." Yuan Yuan couldn't help but retort to her.
"Yes, yes, I've seen too much sincerity from Senior Ji, so I'm not interested anymore."
Ye Qingyan waved her hand, then suddenly exclaimed, "Here we go again."
First-year high school students don't have many opportunities to see Ji Yuzhi, but second- and third-year students are swarming with admirers of him. Especially the girls, who would line up hand-in-hand as soon as class ended to steal glances at the female protagonist of the scandal.
Some gossipy boys also came along with the girls to see who had won the prize that broke the school's record for the highest prize pool.
Zhen Tian blushed the whole time, wishing she could bury her head under the table.
"Why are you hiding? Are you shy?" Ye Qingyan teased.
"Qingyan~~~" she called out coquettishly. Hearing those three words, "shy," immediately brought to mind how she always spoke to him in the office. So embarrassing.
"What are you looking at? Stop looking, or you'll be charged." Yang Feiguang walked to the door and closed it: "It's okay, don't be afraid, Sweetie. If anyone else comes, I'll kick them out."
"Congratulations..." Shao Junli said with difficulty. He never thought he would congratulate the girl he liked on her engagement at this age. Although he knew that this girl would not belong to him in the future, he did not expect that his dream would be shattered so soon.
"What's there to congratulate me on?" she said sweetly.
"What else can I congratulate you on? You're engaged." Ye Qingyan tossed her hair.
"Don't talk nonsense, we didn't." Zhen Tian's face turned red again.
"Hey, I'm curious." Yang Feiguang suddenly jumped onto the seat in front of Zhen Tian, straddled it backwards, and leaned on the table while looking at Zhen Tian: "You two grew up together, shouldn't you be like family? Don't you feel like you're touching your own left hand with your right hand when you're with him?"
"Huh?" The little girl looked at him blankly.
"What do you mean, 'huh'?" Yang Feiguang poked Zhen Tian in the center of her forehead. "It's about how you're so sure you like him and want to marry him instead of treating him like any other brother."
...
Yang Feiguang's question left Zhen Tian completely bewildered.
After the school bell rang, she leaned on her arm and kept thinking about Yang Feiguang's question.
Two classes passed, and she still couldn't figure out the answer to the question no matter how hard she tried.
In her mind, what her parents and Mr. Ji and Mrs. Liu said in the office was all a joke. Although she was shy, she didn't take it seriously.
Zhen Tian was in a daze until school was over. In the past, when Ji Yuzhi came to pick her up, it attracted a lot of attention. But ever since their affair became a sensation at school, Ji Yuzhi's visits to pick up Zhen Tian were like a leader's inspection. Groups of people would keep their distance, but their eyes were firmly fixed on the two of them.
Ji Yuzhi never cared about these things. He calmly took Zhen Tian's schoolbag and squatted down in front of her: "Come on up."
"Just one." Zhen Tian hesitated; many people were watching.
"good."
Ji Yuzhi's single word was enough to make her surrender. She obediently climbed onto the broad shoulders of the soon-to-be-adult man. Although she was not yet eighteen, Ji Yuzhi's physique was no different from that of a mature man—broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Lying on him made her feel very safe, just like the feeling of being carried on her father's back when she was a child.
"Wow……"
"It's so sweet it's almost bursting with flavor."
"I'm so envious! I'm dying of envy."
A huge murmur erupted from the crowd, but as Ji Yuzhi stood up steadily and glanced over unintentionally, the sound vanished as if a switch had been flipped.
"Look at you, so pathetic," Ye Qingyan whispered mockingly at Zhen Tian. "You have no principles or persistence whatsoever."
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey." Zhen Tian stuck out her tongue at her.
Ji Yuzhi and his group nodded as a greeting, and left without saying a word to Zhen Tian.
"So handsome! I love how indifferent our male gods are to us mere mortals." Ye Qingyan watched the two leave with a lovesick expression.
Yang Feiguang couldn't help but complain: "No matter how much you like it, it's not yours."
"What are you talking about? It was just simple admiration." Ye Qingyan smacked Yang Feiguang on the head hard: "Look at your filthy thoughts."
Ye Qingyan glared at Yang Feiguang, then swung her schoolbag and left.
Yuan Yuan was dragged away by Ye Qingyan, but she didn't forget to glance at Yang Feiguang before leaving.
"Uh..." Yang Feiguang suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and the feeling of being seen through made him very uncomfortable.
Zhen Tian lay steadily on Ji Yuzhi's body. The scent of Zhizhi always seemed to drift into her breath on the gentle breeze. She didn't know what that scent was; she had bought Ji Yuzhi's shower gel and shampoo, and they didn't smell like this at all.
She hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but timidly say, "Zhizhi."
"Um?"
There is still some distance between the campus and the main gate.
Zhen Tian's legs are much better now, and in order not to attract too much attention, she repeatedly told her father not to drive the car in again.
“That day, in the office.” Zhen Tian sniffed.
"You've caught a cold?" Ji Yuzhi, very sensitive to the sound, turned around to look at her.
"No, my hair is itchy." Zhen Tian let go of her hand, gathered her hair, and then put her hand back on it.
After a moment, the little girl picked up where she left off: "That day, my parents, Aunt Liu, and Uncle Ji were talking about..."
Ji Yuzhi's steps faltered slightly, but he maintained his balance well so the little girl didn't notice.
"Don't overthink it." Ji Yuzhi listened to her rambling on and on, her tone confused and weak, and he knew that Zhen Tian was not understanding things right now.
"Um?"
Zhen Tian was still confused.
"You're Sweetie, and I'm still your Zhizhi, right?"
