Chapter 59 Encounter
◎ "I like you so much"◎
After entering, I walked around and around to the innermost, extremely private booth. As expected, Sun Yao was sitting there, and the girl next to him... was another unfamiliar face. Going further to the side, Li Songci was also there, and there was also a beautiful and exquisite girl sitting next to him.
This girl looked energetic but spoke in a soft voice. After the introduction, Jiang Siyue only knew that her name was Li Mingzhu. Li Songci did not tell her identity.
It was Li Mingzhu who stuck her head out and said, "I am his illegitimate sister."
"Go back!" Li Songci pushed Li Mingzhu back with a cold face. Li Mingzhu snorted a few times in dissatisfaction, then stuck out her tongue at Jiang Siyue.
Jiang Siyue: “…” You’d better sit down quickly.
As soon as he finished greeting, Sun Yao immediately started joking, "It's a great honor to have an expert like you, Mr. Zhao, here to run my business!"
Zhao Yan ignored him and turned to talk to Jiang Siyue about the types and tastes of the wines on the menu. Sun Yao grimaced angrily, glanced around, and threw a peanut at Zhao Yan, who easily dodged it.
Finally, they chose a few sweet fruit wines, and when they were served, they filled the table with them, making everyone dizzy. The new store opened, and Sun Yao seemed very busy. After a while, he hugged the girl and left. Li Mingzhu said she was going to the bathroom, and Li Songci followed her. Suddenly, they were the only two people left at the booth.
The wines on the table all looked delicious. When Jiang Siyue was hesitating which one to drink first——
"Tell me." Zhao Yan turned his head and looked at her leisurely, "Which one do you want to feed me first?"
The ambient lights flickered, and Zhao Yan's expression became blurred, looking inexplicably delicate...
"What do you mean by 'forced'? It's just drinking." Jiang Siyue casually grabbed a glass and poured it into her mouth. After the burning sensation, the aroma of strawberries came. "This is strawberry, delicious. Don't you want to eat strawberry candy?"
Zhao Yan took a quick glance, grabbed her hand, and unexpectedly kissed her lips. After eating carefully, Zhao Yan let her go, licked his lips, and said affirmatively: "It's sweet."
“…”
Zhao Yan's alcohol tolerance was not as bad as he said. He drank a dozen bottles without blushing. Jiang Siyue couldn't help but say, "Sure enough, your cup is like a bucket."
Zhao Yan laughed, "You didn't force me to drink."
Jiang Siyue glared at him. She felt a little drunk after drinking a few glasses of liquor. After saying something to Zhao Yan, she left the booth and went to the bathroom.
There was a large mirror in the bathroom. Jiang Siyue poked her head in the mirror, trying to break up the double image. She had really believed Zhao Yan's "one drink and you're drunk" and thought she could pinch his cheek when he got drunk! But she ended up getting drunk first.
After staying for a few minutes, Jiang Siyue left after she felt a little more sober.
In the booth, Zhao Yan sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, playing with his mobile phone, looking at the wine in front of him calmly, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
Jiang Siyue was about to speed up, but she felt dizzy the moment she took a step forward, so she had to hold on to the wall. Within her sight, a gorgeous woman walked forward with a glass of wine, and finally turned into Zhao Yan's booth.
After whispering for a while, the beautiful woman's smile faded slightly, and she nodded politely before leaving the booth and returning to her seat. Jiang Siyue happened to be very close to her table and heard the beautiful woman's complaints as she wished.
"Hey, I told you good men aren't common! Another guy who got married young and brought his wife to the bar..."
Hearing that someone was standing in the corner, Jiang Siyue hurried back to the booth with her dizzy head.
"What took you so long?" Zhao Yan took her hand and asked her to sit on his lap. "Are you really drunk?"
"No." Jiang Siyue shook her head in denial, "I'm just dizzy, but I'm very conscious. You can ask me any professional questions now."
Zhao Yan put his arm around her waist and sneered softly. Jiang Siyue was dissatisfied and pushed him, "Ask! If you can't answer, I won't beg for mercy next time. If you can answer, you have to agree to one of my requests."
"Okay." Zhao Yan looked at the blush on her cheeks and asked casually, "Basic assumptions of economics."
"People are rational." Jiang Siyue blurted out. She would think of this whenever she saw Zhao Yan. After saying this, she fell into a long thought, "Hmm..."
He clearly felt lucid, but he just couldn't remember. Suddenly, an idea struck him. Jiang Siyue put her arms around his neck and leaned over to whisper in his ear: "..."
"I didn't hear clearly."
Jiang Siyue rolled her eyes guiltily and said forcedly: "Anyway, I said it! You have to agree to one of my requests." Jiang Siyue looked straight at his face.
"What's your request?" Zhao Yan turned around and asked her to face him. He raised his head and looked at her.
"Hehe!" Jiang Siyue laughed heartlessly, like a coward emboldened by alcohol. "I want to pinch your face."
Zhao Yan's eyes first flashed with surprise, and then he recalled her strange behavior at Min Sui's house, and a hint of understanding emerged. He said lovingly: "So this is the idea."
Her hands slowly rose, finally gently pinching his cheeks.
He was born with a good appearance, with a good skin and bones. There was not a trace of excess flesh on his face. It was not soft to the touch, but after that calm and aloof face was kneaded and deformed, it gave people a desire to destroy it. So Jiang Siyue increased her strength and rubbed it twice more, laughing.
When Li Songcihe came back and saw this scene, he almost dropped his jaw in shock.
Zhao Yan ignored his surprise, but Jiang Siyue saw Li Mingzhu next to him out of the corner of her eye, quickly let go of her hand, and buried herself in his arms pretending to be dead.
Li Songci quickly regained his composure, picked up Li Mingzhu's bag from the sofa, and said, "We have something to do, so we'll leave first."
"Yeah." Zhao Yan nodded coldly. After the two left, Zhao Yan looked at Jiang Siyue in his arms. She was sleeping soundly, her long eyelashes slightly drooping, and her lips were red. Zhao Yan smiled unconsciously and lightly touched the tip of her nose with his finger.
At the bar entrance, Li Mingzhu was freezing cold. Seeing Li Songci frowning and holding his phone, she couldn't help but urge him, "Li Songci, what are you dawdling about for? Finish this chat and leave! It's freezing!"
"Yeah, let's go."
Inside the bar, the cell phone on the table vibrated. Zhao Yan picked it up and frowned after seeing the message on it.
[Mr. Zhang: The second son of the Yi family is getting married next Monday. You and Siyue should go.]
[Mr. Zhang: It’s just a small business, just a meal.]
Zhao Yan's brows furrowed as he thought about the Yi family. This place was special, and he had to go. After giving a positive answer, Zhao Yan called a designated driver.
When Jiang Siyue woke up, she opened her eyes to see the familiar ceiling. She was still drunk and was dazed for a while. Then Zhao Yan, who had just finished taking a shower, came in and lay down beside her.
From the moment he entered the door, Jiang Siyue's eyes were fixed on him.
"Teacher Zhao, why do you like me?" Her language was chaotic, but her eyes were serious.
I like her because I like her, there's no special reason. This sentence is too profound for a drunk person. Zhao Yan raised the corners of his mouth and said, "It's so cute, I can't help but love her."
She frowned, sighed heavily after a while, then suddenly yawned, fell back as if the computer had suddenly turned off, and fell asleep in an instant.
Zhao Yan smiled even more deeply and leaned over to tuck the quilt for her.

The investigation was quickly completed, Zhao Yan regained his work authority, and Jiang Siyue also received good news about her thesis. So when Min Sui asked her to go look at dresses again, she agreed without thinking.
Zhao Yan, who punched in for work again, was very busy, so Jiang Siyue took a taxi over. The dress was beautiful and fit, and after hesitating for a long time, Min Sui finally picked it out.
Min Sui: "By the way, Yueyue, did you know that we're going to the Yi family for dinner next Monday?"
"Yeah." Jiang Siyue nodded. Zhao Yan mentioned this matter two days ago. The Yi family must be either rich or noble, but Zhao Yan didn't say much and she didn't ask much.
"This Second Young Master Yi is quite amazing. He held a small banquet despite the pressure from the whole family. Old Master Yi is even better. He invited all the guests to his home. I can't even imagine how funny it would be if a group of us had dinner at his house." Min Sui thought about the scene and laughed out loud.
The wedding also requires a banquet, so it seems that the Yi family’s wedding must be held.
"The weather is really nice today, and we have plenty of time. Let's go shopping!"
It has been raining for the past two days, and there was always smog overhead. It was a rare good day, and Jiang Siyue was persuaded, so the two went to the mall together.
"Let me tell you, I saw a little yellow dress last time and I think it suits you very well. You must try it." Min Sui dragged her into the mall. Less than ten meters later, Min Sui's cell phone rang happily.
After Min Sui picked up the phone, the smile on her face disappeared, "Okay, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Min Sui told her that it was a company matter and apologized to her. Jiang Siyue had no objection at all and hurriedly urged her to come over quickly.
"Hey!" Min Sui's face was visibly irritated. "You must go to G's house to try on that skirt. Take a picture for me. I really think your name is written on that skirt!"
"Okay." Jiang Siyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and waved to her hurriedly, "Go quickly."
She had often gone shopping alone in the mall before, but now that Min Sui was gone, she felt very uncomfortable. The sun was shining outside, and Jiang Siyue hurried to G's house. The yellow skirt in the store was really nice. After trying it on, she looked gentle and lively.
She has taken on a lot of work recently with Zhao Yan and has made a good income. She glanced at the label and found that the price was within her affordable range.
"That dress looks great on you."
Jiang Siyue turned around and saw a beautiful woman smiling at her, with a smile that could conquer the whole city.
An Lin praised sincerely, "I thought it was quite ordinary when I saw it before, but I didn't expect it to look so good on you."
Jiang Siyue was in a good mood after being praised by the beauty, and she thanked her politely and shyly.
After packing the clothes, Jiang Siyue said goodbye to her and walked out of the mall with a smile. The sun was still bright and the sky was no longer gray, but blue. With an idea in her mind, she sat down in a window seat in the cafe, supporting her chin and watching the fallen leaves swirling down.
The phone vibrates.
[Wolf is Coming: Are You Still in the Mall?]
【Jiang Siyue: How do you know? 】
[The wolf is coming: Min Sui said it.]
[The Wolf is Coming: The class is over, I came to see you.]
Her heart suddenly felt lighter, and Jiang Siyue felt that the gazes on her body had become warmer.
【Jiang Siyue: Yes.】
The waiting time passed quickly. After a while, she saw Zhao Yan across the street. She was delighted and hurriedly took her bag and ran out.
The light was green, and Jiang Siyue trotted over to him, her eyes sparkling, "The sun is shining brightly today!"
Zhao Yan curved his lips and took her hanging hand, "Let's go for a walk on the nearby Ginkgo Avenue?"
After temporarily leaving the clothes at the mall, the two walked slowly towards Ginkgo Avenue. When they were some distance away, the golden sky had already come into view.
The sun was warm, the ginkgo leaves on the ground were soft and fluffy, and there were many people nearby holding cameras and taking pictures.
Jiang Siyue raised her head to look at the sky and couldn't help sighing in her heart. From early spring to late autumn, in less than a year, earth-shaking changes had taken place around her.
I caught a glimpse of Zhao Yan out of the corner of my eye. His expression was cold, but his eyes were gentle, a far cry from the coldness he had on the day they got the marriage certificate.
A ginkgo leaf suddenly fell from the top of my head and slid naturally into the palm of my hand. The golden ginkgo leaf seemed to be dyed with the warmth of the sun, and it felt warm in my palm.
"Zhao Yan, bend down." Jiang Siyue stopped, her eyes full of smiles. Zhao Yan was infected by her smile, and his heart also became happier. He bent down obediently and moved closer to her as she said.
Jiang Siyue stood on tiptoe, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "I like you so much!"
Zhao Yan was stunned. At that moment, his heart seemed to be struck, leaving only endless numbness. He said softly, "Then I am very lucky."
Jiang Siyue's eyes curved into a smile as she happily took his arm. As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw a familiar face. It was the beautiful lady she had just met at G's house.
However, the beauty's face was very bad, and her eyes were fixed on Zhao Yan, who was beside her. She stared at Zhao Yan without any deviation, and walked towards him with big strides.
For some unknown reason, Jiang Siyue glanced at Zhao Yan. He looked very bad and his gaze was also on the beauty. They looked at each other closely, as if everything around them had become an insignificant background.
Her hand unconsciously tightened around Zhao Yan's arm, and the panic in her heart made it impossible for her to think normally.
An Lin stood half a meter away from them, a gentle and appropriate smile on her face. "Zhao Yan? Long time no see."
