Chapter 18 World One [18]
Jing Ke didn't recognize the bed, but the edge of the bed had changed from two meters long to one and a half meters. After lying down, she found that the distance between her and Shang Siyu was a little closer.
Not only the physical distance, but also Shang Siyu's breathing, heartbeat, and the faint body fragrance became more obvious.
Jing Ke found that she seemed to like the smell of Shang Siyu, which was obvious from the fact that she leaned towards the middle after lying down.
"Is the quilt not long enough?" asked Shang Siyu, who was also lying on the bed.
"No." Jing Ke denied, her amber eyes focused on Shang Siyu, and she said frankly, "I just like the smell of you. I can fall asleep faster when I'm close to you."
The straightforward words made Shang Siyu stunned for a second, and then a barely noticeable blush appeared on her face.
"Really? I'm using the shower gel at home. Maybe, maybe the smell is different." Shang Siyu said, becoming nervous for no reason.
"No, it's not the smell of shower gel, it's your unique smell." Jing Ke asked seriously, "Shang Siyu, can I sleep next to you now?"
"Hmm?" Shang Siyu felt that his brain was a little overloaded.
"After waking up, you hold me and I lean on you. It would be better if I lean on you before going to bed, so that we can skip part of the process." Jing Ke blinked and didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.
Shang Siyu opened his mouth slightly. Jing Ke's logic seemed to be fine at first glance, but it couldn't stand up to scrutiny.
It is a probabilistic event that I hug Jing Ke after waking up. Although this happens five days out of seven in a week, there are still two days when I wake up early and can withdraw my hand earlier.
"Isn't it possible?" Jing Ke's eyes were full of sincerity.
"Yes, sure." Shang Siyu couldn't say no to Jing Ke, so he could only agree reluctantly.
After all, she couldn't deny the fact that she liked to use Jing Ke as a pillow after falling asleep. Now she was just bringing forward certain results.
"Thank you." Jing Ke said politely, with a very obvious smile in his eyes.
"You're welcome." Shang Siyu asked in a slightly dry tone, and quickly turned off the headlights, plunging the room into darkness.
Darkness can enhance the acuity of people's senses other than vision, just like Shang Siyu who is lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
She could clearly feel Jing Ke approaching, and found that her head was nestled against her neck, and the hot air from her breath was sprayed on her collarbone.
Shang Siyu's throat slid up and down, and he tried hard to control his breathing and heartbeat, so that Jing Ke would not discover the strange thoughts that suddenly popped up in his head.
What a weird idea?
Of course, it was a thought that wanted to reach out and hug Jing Ke, and then do something more intimate.
Shang Siyu had good self-control. Her mind was only disturbed for a few minutes, and she quickly regained her composure.
After noticing that Jing Ke's breathing beside him had gradually stabilized, Shang Siyu cleared his mind and slowly fell into a deep sleep.

Time quickly came to the afternoon of the 3rd. Jing Ke delivered Shang Siyu to the Jinyu Hotel on time. He arrived at the door at exactly 4:30, which could be said to be exactly the same.
After Jing Ke and Shang Siyu walked into the hall together, they saw a familiar figure among the people sitting in the lounge area.
He Minmin changed out of her stall owner's clothes and wore simple trousers and a shirt, with a gray-black suit jacket on the outside. Her upright sitting posture made her stand out a little.
"Shang Siyu!" When Jing Ke saw He Minmin, she also saw the two people holding hands, stood up and waved at them.
Shang Siyu waved when he saw it, turned around and walked over. After recognizing the other three people in the rest area, he simply nodded.
"I shouldn't be late, right?" Shang Siyu asked with a smile, walked over to He Minmin and started chatting with her.
"No, you came at the right time. We are still waiting for our class teacher." He Minmin said, her expression much more natural than the last time they met.
After seeing the old classmates start chatting, Jing Ke leaned over and whispered a few words in Shang Siyu's ear, then walked to the other side.
"Shang Siyu, is that the friend who came with you? Why not invite her along?" The tall man among the other three took the initiative to speak, with a trace of amazement still lingering in his eyes.
"No, she just sent me here." Shang Siyu said with a smile, "Ban Ren should be here soon, why don't we go outside to meet him?"
After seeing that Shang Siyu had lightly brought up the topic, the tall man felt embarrassed to bring it back.
The agreed meeting time was 4:30, but only 20 people had arrived so far, and one-third had ignored the agreed time.
Xue Fan was one of them. He and his vice-class monitor in high school were the last two to arrive.
The waiter attentively helped them open the door, and the hotel manager followed Xue Fan and the deputy monitor with a bright smile.
"Mr. Xue, do we want to open these three bottles of red wine now?" asked the hotel manager.
"Open them all, and get three more bottles ready. Refill them immediately after you finish them." Xue Fan waved his hand, acting quite arrogantly.
"Okay, Mr. Xue, your single consumption in our hotel has reached 100,000 yuan, and you can enjoy a 20% discount on food." The hotel manager gave Xue Fan enough face, allowing him to successfully gain the envious eyes of more than 20 people.
"Today's consumption in the private room will be charged to my account. If you want to eat anything, just order directly and I will pay the bill." Xue Fan said smoothly. Judging from the smile on his face, he was extremely satisfied.
After seeing this, Ban Ren couldn't help but sigh in admiration, "I didn't expect Xue Fan to be able to really make a career. I underestimated him before."
Shang Siyu remained noncommittal, saying Xue Fan's success was just an accidental case.
For most people, if they don’t even have a high school diploma, they can only choose to move bricks or work in the service industry with low barriers to entry.
"Ban Ren, I toast you with this glass of wine. Without your encouragement, I might not have achieved what I have today." Xue Fan was very good at handling things. He immediately took charge and started to greet other people.
As a teacher, the class teacher naturally hopes that her students will become outstanding, even if the transformed person is the student who once gave her the most headaches and annoyances.
"Your achievements today are all due to your own efforts. I just did what a teacher should do." The class teacher did not accept the compliment, but also picked up the wine glass and took a small sip.
The smile on Xue Fan's face deepened. He tilted his head back and drank one-third of the red wine in the glass. Then he looked at Shang Siyu with a smile.
"Shang Siyu, I remember you were the top student in the class. How are you doing now? You should be better than me, who is at the bottom, right?"
Xue Fan is not a patient person. After gaining popularity, he turned his attention to Shang Siyu, wanting to step on her so that he could gain more people's envy.
"It's okay, but not as good as Mr. Xue who can spend money lavishly." Shang Siyu replied calmly.
Xue Fan smiled. "Really? I just heard you got a big investment. You have a multi-million dollar sports car ready to go. Why don't you treat everyone to some good drinks? Are you trying to make a fortune in silence?"
Millions, instead of treating everyone to a nice drink, he just makes a fortune in silence.
As soon as these key words came out, some obscure discussions emerged at the dinner table.
"It's said to be investment money, it must be used for the company's development, how can it be squandered?" The straightforward He Minmin couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to support Shang Siyu.
"It's just a small amount of money. Mr. Shang should be able to afford it, right?" Xue Fan glanced at He Minmin, not taking her seriously as she had no power or influence.
"Xue Fan, class reunions are naturally split evenly. We're grateful that you're willing to treat us, but there's no need to make others do the same as you." The class monitor said with a frown.
"Okay, there's no need to argue about this." After seeing that a good party was about to turn into a quarrel, the class teacher spoke out to stop it.
"Xiaoyu contacted me a while ago and wanted to donate 10 million to the school, half of which will be used to establish a scholarship fund and the other half to upgrade teaching equipment."
The class teacher is still quite intimidating when she gets serious, not to mention that the people in the box are all her former students.
"Xue Fan, I'm happy that you've made progress, but I still hope you won't spend money recklessly and develop bad habits." The class teacher said with a straight face.
Xue Fan, who was criticized specifically, shrank his neck out of habit, showing a rare look of embarrassment.
But after Xue Fan realized what was happening, he felt more angry and humiliated.
So what if he was my former head teacher? I am no longer the same person I used to be. With a net worth of over 100 million, why should I listen to the lectures of an ordinary teacher who can't even earn a million a year?
