Chapter 87 Everything about her requires her personal attention.
After listening to Zhou Yanchuan's explanation in the room, Wen Jiu wasn't so angry anymore, but she felt a little sad that she couldn't quite put her finger on.
It felt like I was back in the days when I only dared to secretly write his name in a notebook.
She disliked being so insecure and anxious.
But I can't control it.
As she stood there lost in thought, a white porcelain plate was suddenly pushed towards her.
The fish meat on top has been deboned and is crystal clear.
Wen Jiu's thoughts wavered slightly, and she looked up in surprise, meeting Zhou Yanchuan's deep eyes.
He seemed to find her dazed reaction adorable, and the corners of his lips curled up: "What?"
Qiao Qingxue would never forget the way the two people stared at each other.
Zhou Yanchuan truly liked it.
A genuine liking.
In that instant, she suddenly felt relieved.
Such a person deserves to be brought down.
*
Wen Jiu didn't reply to Zhou Yanchuan, but she also didn't return anything that had passed through his hands as she had done before.
He picked up the chopsticks beside him and quietly began to eat.
Zhou Yanchuan saw the person start eating the fish and knew that he had been appeased.
However, he turned his head to look at her and whispered, "Why are you so easy to coax?"
Wen Jiu glanced at him.
That glance held both reproach and coquettishness; in short, it was vividly adorable.
It's like saying: Do you still want me to be angry?
He smiled and reached for her hand under the table.
I don't want you to be angry, I just want to comfort you.
A very serious tone.
When Wen Jiu heard Zhou Yanchuan say those words, he happened to hold her hand. At that moment, she felt her palm burning hot, the heat spreading all the way to her heart.
The eyes of everyone at the table were involuntarily drawn to the two of them. Even though nothing had happened, the atmosphere between them felt special.
After dinner, someone suggested singing.
Chen Si Nian asked the waiter to clear the plates, and his group moved from the dining table to the private room inside.
"Go find Chen Si Nian and the others to sit with later," Wen Jiu said in a low voice to the person next to her as they walked into the inner room.
Zhou Yanchuan glanced at her, initially thinking she was worried he would become estranged from his friends, but later realized she was in a hurry to find Xia Shi.
Zhou Yanchuan smiled as he watched the two girls huddled in the corner of the sofa chatting.
"I really can't stand it," Chen Si Nian said, looking at the person who had come to his side but was still looking at the corner. "Why don't you go and take a look?"
"You think I don't want to?"
"..."
He shouldn't have asked.

At a birthday party held in the past year, people from several schools came. When it came to singing, those with talent naturally wanted to show off.
The first boy to pick up the microphone was from No. 2 Middle School.
He's quite handsome and sings well; his rendition of Zhang Jie's "Tianxia" immediately warmed up the crowd.
After he finished singing, the way the girls looked at him changed.
Chen Si Nian urged Zhou Yanchuan to go: "You sing much better than this kid, you go and give us a performance."
Zhou Yanchuan was too lazy to do any of that and refused without even thinking: "I'm not going."
"Then you've wasted your great voice."
Zhou Yanchuan sings really well; I only heard him sing "Shen Si Nian" once by chance before.
However, he wasn't particularly interested in this skill and didn't participate in any school activities.
So few people know that he sings very well.
"What's the point of wasting time or effort?" Zhou Yanchuan wasn't interested in this, so he never cared whether he sang or not.
But when it came to singing, Zhou Yanchuan looked at the person in the corner again.
He remembered that the little girl's voice was truly beautiful.
Like Qi You, he's one of those guys who's born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Moreover, it's not just that they both sing well, they're identical in every way, even if they don't want to sing.
Even the reason he didn't want to sing was because of his mother.
Lost in thought, I suddenly saw the girl stand up.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
She was seen talking to Xia Shi beside her, and it seemed that she had stood up because of her.
"Does the class monitor want to sing?" Chen Yu's eyes lit up when he saw Wen Jiu stand up.
"Why are you so excited about her singing?" Zhou Yanchuan glanced at him.
“It’s sure to sound great,” he blurted out.
Chen Si Nian asked unexpectedly, "You've heard of it?"
"No."
"..."
"Not as nice as you say?"
"You can tell just by listening to the class monitor's voice. Her voice is so beautiful, she must be a great singer too."
"What kind of reason is that?" Chen Si Nian remained silent.
But I have to admit, I'm also a little excited.
The microphone is on their side; if they want to sing, they have to come over and get it.
Zhou Yanchuan looked at the people walking this way and gestured with his eyes to the microphone on the table: "Want to sing?"
"Um."
"Because of daylight saving time?"
"She wants to hear it."
Zhou Yanchuan scoffed lightly: "I wanted to hear you sing, but I didn't see you sing?"
The boy's words were clearly sarcastic.
The people's expressions varied.
Could these words really have come from Zhou Yanchuan?
Wen Jiu hadn't expected him to suddenly say something like that, and asked softly, "Do you want to hear it?"
"hold head high."
"Then we can listen to it together later."
"Pfft," Shen Si Nian couldn't help but laugh when he heard the girl's answer.
Is that what Zhou Yanchuan meant?
Everyone thought Zhou Yanchuan would be angry, but he just smiled, bent down, picked up the microphone, and handed it over.
What should we sing?
He asked the question and then got up to help choose a song.
It seems she wants to do everything herself.
Wen Jiu thought for a moment: "Stay on the sidelines."
Zhou Yanchuan typed, glancing back at the girl before clicking, and seeing her nod, he lowered his finger.
As the intro began, lyrics appeared on the big screen.
Everyone turned to look at the girl who had taken the microphone and sat back down on the sofa.
Her eyes were fixed on the screen, the light and shadow falling on her, making her look gentle, quiet, and beautiful.
For a moment, several people were engrossed in watching, but the moment her voice rang out, they were caught off guard and got goosebumps all over.
"The Forgotten Sands"
Chen Yu's mouth moved slightly, but he was too surprised to make a sound.
Not only him, but everyone present except Zhou Yanchuan, whose expression remained unchanged, held their breath.
I don't know how to describe the sound that was ringing in my ears.
Ethereal and clear are not enough.
The room fell silent. When the song ended, no one spoke for a long time until Wen Jiu put down the microphone, at which point they remembered something and started clapping.
At first there were only a few scattered claps, but then, whether they came to their senses or something else, the applause thundered.
Wen Jiu was startled, while Zhou Yanchuan laughed from the side.
She glared at him.
Feeling embarrassed by the cheers and stares of so many people, she quickly returned to Xia Shi's side.
The girl's eyes shone even brighter when she looked at her.
Wen Jiu smiled shyly.

This party was the last hurrah before the exams. A group of people played and howled until the wee hours of the morning, and only when they were completely exhausted did they finally leave.
The group emerged from the private room in a grand procession, with Xia Shi and Wen Jiu walking at the back, while Zhou Yanchuan followed quietly behind them.
As we passed the next private room, the people inside happened to come out as well.
He recognized the group of people from the experiment after a long period of contemplation.
Before he could speak, he saw Lu Jingci in the crowd, his expression changed slightly, and he looked behind him.
