Chapter 12 Valentine's Day
The next morning, Shi Jin woke up in his large bed.
But I didn't feel as lazy and satisfied as I usually do when I wake up.
Instead, I felt extremely tired and exhausted.
And he seemed to feel that the body inside the blanket was a little different.
He reached inside and touched himself, only to find that he was completely naked, not even wearing underwear!
He doesn't have the habit of sleeping naked.
He was stunned for a moment.
I quickly got up to check my body. Thankfully, I was clean and intact, with nothing missing and nothing extra.
My memory is still from last night when I had dinner with Bai Zhenzhu and he came back from the kitchen with a drink.
He drank a few more sips of the winter melon and pork rib soup, and then...
I have no recollection of it.
What happened?
He remembered that he was drinking a beverage, not beer.
Drunk?
What happened to the white pearl later?
They ran away?
He took out his phone and started calling Bai Zhenzhu, wanting to know what had happened last night.
The result was that the device was shut down.
Shi Jin had a vague sense of unease; everything seemed very strange.
But he couldn't pinpoint exactly what the problem was.
Forget it, I'm not going to lose anything anyway, so I won't cause myself any trouble.
Moreover, he was able to enjoy some peace and quiet, without having to face Bai Zhenzhu.
So he packed his things quickly and went to class at Peking University.
...
White Pearl did not appear again for the next few days.
Shi Jin didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it didn't matter.
Qin Shen brought him some good news.
Qin Shen met with Li Qianni and told her the whole truth.
At first, Li Qianni didn't believe it, until Qin Shen directly pulled up the restaurant's surveillance footage from that day.
The pregnant woman later showed her the cotton balls she had taken out of her belly and how she had run away in embarrassment after mistaking someone for her.
Li Qianni then realized that she had really misunderstood Shi Jin.
I deeply regret it.
"Li Qianni, I've already conveyed everything I needed to say to you. Whether you believe it or not is up to you, but I still want to kindly remind you that men, especially men in positions of power like Shi Jin, cannot tolerate women being unreasonable and petty indefinitely. I advise you to think carefully about whether you want to continue to ignore Shi Jin."
Qin Shen immediately saw Li Qianni's affection for Shi Jin. While reminding her, he was also removing some unnecessary obstacles for his good friend.
Li Qianni said gratefully, "Thank you for telling me all this. I know what I should do now."
After separating from Qin Shen, Li Qianni took the initiative to call Shi Jin.
"Shi Jin, I'm sorry..."
...
Li Qianni naturally resolved the conflict with Shi Jin, and their relationship became even more ambiguous than before.
On this day, Shi Jin escorted Li Qianni back to her dormitory.
At the dormitory entrance, their eyes were locked, neither willing to turn away first.
"Qianni, tomorrow is Valentine's Day..."
Shi Jin's intense gaze was fixed on Li Qianni's face, with a hint of barely perceptible tension.
Li Qianni's breath hitched, and her chest heaved violently.
She had finally waited for this day, finally!
But she didn't dare show that she already knew about it, so she pretended to look at Shi Jin blankly.
"Huh? Valentine's Day?"
"Um, Valentine's Day, Qianni, do you have time tomorrow? I... have something very important to tell you..."
Shi Jin, who was fearless, suddenly became shy.
Li Qianni suppressed her excitement and calmly said, "Yes, I have time."
"See you tomorrow night, I'll send you the restaurant location in a bit..."
Okay~
Back in the dormitory, Li Qianni shed her composure and hugged Ren Xuening tightly, lifting her high in the air like a madwoman.
"Qianni, what's wrong? Put me down!"
Li Qianni's excited little face was making exaggerated facial movements, and her mouth was stretched to the back of her ears with a smile.
He put Ren Xuening down, then grabbed her shoulders excitedly and said, "Xuening, I did it! I'm about to become Shi Jin's girlfriend!"
"Huh? Shi Jin confessed to you!"
"Not yet, but he just told me that he has something important to tell me on Valentine's Day tomorrow. Do you remember the rumors that Shi Jin would publicly confess his feelings to me on Valentine's Day? It seems like it must be true!"
"Qianni, congratulations! Your wish is finally about to come true! Make sure you dress up nicely tomorrow and wait for Shi Jin's romantic confession..."
...
Valentine's Day.
Shi Jin got up very early and even took a day off.
"Young Master Shi, I don't have classes this afternoon, so I'll come over and help you set up the venue!"
Qin Shen also wanted to ask for leave, but today's class was very important, and if he asked for leave again, he might not be able to earn enough credits.
Shi Jin, who was fixing his hair in the bathroom, looked at his handsome reflection in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.
He also specially sprayed on a men's perfume that Li Qianni had given him.
Emerging from the restroom, he was beaming with pride and said, "Whatever. Actually, it doesn't matter whether you come this afternoon or not. I've already found the most professional planning team. As long as you can bring the guys on time tonight..."
"I have to say, Mr. Shi, I never thought you'd actually go and confess publicly. I thought someone of your status would look down on that!"
“I would disdain doing such things, but Qianni said she wanted a public and romantic declaration of love, that she wanted the whole world to witness her happiness…”
"Damn! Young Master Shi, your love-struck mind is incurable! But I still want to congratulate you in advance on successfully confessing your feelings and winning the heart of your beauty. What if I can no longer enjoy our time together as a couple?"
Frustrated, Shi Jin kicked Qin Shen, who was pressing against him, hard and muttered, "Get lost! Don't touch my body like that anymore. I'm about to have a girlfriend! Only my girlfriend can touch my body from now on!"
"Young Master Shi, you despise me! Waaaaah..."
...
Compared to Shi Jin's excitement and busyness, Bai Zhenzhu's day was unusually calm, even eerily calm.
When get out of class ended, Yoon Ga-hee finally couldn't contain her curiosity and asked, "Pearl, are you really planning to just focus on class all day and do nothing else?"
This morning, Ren Xuening, that big mouth, had already spread the word that Shi Jin was going to spend Valentine's Day with Li Qianni tonight. She even went to Bai Zhenzhu to brag about it, adding fuel to the fire by saying that Shi Jin was going to publicly confess his love, blah blah blah.
Bai Zhenzhu simply replied indifferently, "Oh," and turned to walk away.
Bai Zhenzhu's reaction was really abnormal; it seemed like she didn't care about what happened tonight at all, which left Yin Jiaxi a little confused.
Bai Zhenzhu put down her notebook and turned to look at Yin Jiaxi.
His gaze was firm yet tinged with a hint of mockery.
Yin Jiaxi felt a chill run down her spine.
Why does Bai Zhenzhu look so confident and determined, with a face that says "I have my own way"?
"Jiaxi, do you think I'd let that bitch Li Qianni get away with this?"
"But haven't you not contacted Shi Jin at all these past few days?"
Bai Zhenzhu didn't answer, but instead gave a meaningful smile...
