Standing at the door, Jiang Shuya spotted Jiang Shuyue sitting on the outermost seat. Her eyes flickered slightly, and the next moment she uttered, "Third Sister."
All four looked up at her, and there she was, her eyes sparkling like stars, clear and bright, like morning dew, with a smile on her face.
The woman standing at the door was like a lotus emerging from the water, with a refined and beautiful face, a gentle smile, and a graceful and charming figure. Her demeanor exuded composure and confidence, radiating a captivating brilliance.
Jiang Shuyue was surprised for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward, pulled her over, and led her to her seat. She looked at her carefully again, then smiled and pointed to the other three: "Ziliang, my deskmate, do you remember him?"
Seeing Jiang Shuya nod, she pointed to Lin Moxiao and asked, "Do you still remember him?"
Jiang Shuya glanced at him and thought to herself, "This man is fairer than the average boy, with cold eyes and an aloof demeanor. He has no warmth whatsoever, making people hesitant to approach him."
She then turned her head and said, "She's your classmate too, right? With so many classmates, how could I possibly remember them all?" Jiang Shuya looked at her third sister.
Jiang Shuyue smiled faintly: "He is Lin Moxiao." She deliberately drew out the syllable when she said the name.
Jiang Shuya really couldn't remember this person. She made a token eye contact with him, smiled politely, and nodded. She quickly looked at the woman beside him and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She really was just like the woman described in ancient romance novels: a small face, cherry lips, and a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes, as if she had stepped out of a painting.
Then he couldn't help but praise her: "I thought you were someone who stepped out of a painting. A beauty like a painting, that must be what they mean by you."
The woman raised her eyebrows in response to the compliment, revealing a gentle smile. She politely introduced herself as Lin Moxiao's girlfriend, named Wang Yingying, and couldn't help but praise Jiang Shuya as well: "Has anyone ever told you that you look beautiful even without makeup?"
Compared to her overall attire, her face was adorned with exquisite makeup.
Jiang Shuya uses regular skincare products and doesn't wear any makeup. She goes out with a bare face, her skin is naturally good. She only likes a clean and comfortable appearance and never forces herself to add makeup. She has a natural resistance to concealer and foundation, which makes her skin prone to allergies.
At this moment, Lin Moxiao's brows were furrowed, his eyes even colder, his heart churning with turmoil, a strange anger and irritation rising within him. She didn't remember him at all! He recalled confessing his feelings to her face-to-face five years ago, but now she couldn't remember anything at all. Did she have amnesia? He turned his head to look at her again. Her eyes sparkled, her skin was as white as jade, her lips were moist and slightly upturned, and her attire was flawless. Everything about her was natural beauty. He was momentarily lost in thought, and after a moment, Jiang Shuyue caught his infatuated gaze.
Jiang Shuya, sitting next to Jiang Shuyue, was completely unaware of what was happening and chatted quietly with her.
Wang Ziliang started to get lively, picked up his drink, raised his glass to invite everyone to drink together, said some words of thanks, looked at everyone and then drank it all in one gulp. Afterwards, he repeatedly told everyone not to be shy and to get moving.
Jiang Shuyue then served food to Jiang Shuya, saying gently, "Try this steamed fish. I remember you love fish, so eat more."
Jiang Shuya happily accepted and began to eat without any hesitation. She was very hungry and fearless. After drinking a few sips of her beverage, she quickly ate a bowl of rice. Finding that she was still not full, she said without any hesitation, "Third sister, I want to eat another bowl."
Jiang Shuyue noticed the glossy sheen on her lips, handed her a tissue, and said gently, "Why are you eating so fast? Is something important?"
"It's nothing, I just forgot to eat when I went out today, and I'm a little hungry." She scratched her head, looking a little embarrassed.
Wang Ziliang nodded and smiled, then waved to the waiter and ordered another bowl of rice. He thought to himself, "This cousin of mine is really a straightforward person. She doesn't care about her image or act coy. She eats what she wants and does what she wants."
The waiter quickly brought the food over, and Jiang Shuyue continued to serve her food, telling her to eat slowly, and then reached out to brush a stray strand of hair from her forehead behind her ear.
She also asked, "How many months old is the baby now? My mom said it's a girl. What does your husband do? Next time, invite him to come to Nanjing. I'll treat you to a meal."
Jiang Shuya, who was eating, suddenly stopped, met Jiang Shuyue's curious gaze, put down her chopsticks, wiped her lips with a tissue, lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, her expression complicated.
Seeing this, Jiang Shuyue sensed that it was inconvenient to bring it up here, so she changed the subject.
At this moment, everyone at the dinner table looked at her curiously, and there was a moment of silence. Wang Ziliang placed a plate of shrimp in front of her: "Cousin, eat more. I can order more if you're not full. I heard you live in Hexi. I live there too. If you need any help, just let me know. We're from the same hometown. I'm also your senior from school, right?"
"Where do you live in Hexi, senior?" Jiang Shuya asked curiously.
Wang Ziliang: "No. 118, Olympic Sports Center, warehousing and logistics."
Jiang Shuya's eyes widened: "You work in logistics? That's great! Add me on QQ. I really need to work with you later. I'm doing brand purchasing now and I need logistics and express delivery." As she spoke, she reached out, opened her phone, asked for Wang Ziliang's QQ number, sent it, and smiled with satisfaction after the screen showed that she had accepted the request.
Lin Moxiao, sitting next to him, suddenly spoke up: "Since you're a senior, then I'll count as one too, add one." The three of them looked at him in unison, puzzled. Wang Yingying, sitting next to him, looked visibly uncomfortable, not understanding his actions.
Jiang Shuya didn't think much of it and generously gave him her account information, then leaned over to watch him send the request.
A warm aura wafted over him, and a faint fragrance emanated from her body, a delicate floral scent, which entered his mind and made him feel relaxed and happy. The intoxicating floral fragrance lasted only a moment. In the blink of an eye, Jiang Shuya was already close to Jiang Shuyue, looking at her with a playful expression.
Of all her sisters, she trusted her third sister the most, and they had been inseparable since childhood.
After everyone had finished their meal, Wang Ziliang generously paid the bill. Jiang Shuya pulled her third sister to go shopping together and asked Wang Ziliang if he wanted to come along. He scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed, and said, "It wouldn't be right for me to come along with you sisters!"
"Then I'll give you two choices: either be a third wheel, or be our protector, or take a car back by yourself," Jiang Shuyue said bluntly.
Wang Ziliang certainly understood what she meant. Lin Moxiao and Wang Yingying had just said they were going to the jewelry store to look at jewelry, so he couldn't possibly join them.
"Let's go together! We're free today, so we can stroll around a bit longer. If you'd like, I'll treat you to a late-night snack tonight," Lin Moxiao said as she walked over.
Jiang Shuya pulled her third sister along, wanting to go shopping with her alone. However, having already eaten a meal with Wang Ziliang, she couldn't leave him hanging, so she took the initiative to decline Lin Moxiao's invitation: "Senior, you should go look at jewelry with your girlfriend! My third sister and I haven't seen each other in a long time, sorry."
After saying that, he pulled Jiang Shuyue to leave. Jiang Shuyue took the opportunity to tug at Wang Ziliang's sleeve. He understood and waved to Lin Moxiao before following them.
