Chapter 75 Art Exhibition
As Yin Jiaxi entered the teaching building arm in arm with Bai Zhenzhu, she suddenly saw a familiar figure not far ahead.
Yin Jiaxi patted Bai Zhenzhu's hand and said, "Zhenzhu, look! Isn't that Shi Jin? What's he doing here? And who's that girl next to him? She doesn't look like Li Qianni!"
Bai Zhenzhu followed the gaze and saw that it was indeed Shi Jin. If she wasn't mistaken, the girl next to him was Shi Jin's bed partner and new favorite, Guo Guo.
She gave a mocking smile.
"He can be with whomever he wants."
Then, holding Yin Jiaxi's hand, they walked quickly forward, faster and faster, eventually overtaking Shi Jin and Guo Guo.
Shi Jin looked at Bai Zhenzhu, who had somehow walked up to him, and smiled.
Then, suddenly, she said loudly to Guoguo, "Guoguo, I bought you your favorite Hermes bag. The salesperson will deliver it to your dorm room in a little while."
Guoguo, flattered and sweet, replied, "Thank you, Young Master Shi."
Young Master Shi? Bah!
Bai Zhenzhu rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. How could these two be so shameless?
The world is going to the dogs, it's so sad!
...
When get out of class ended, Bai Zhenzhu went to the restroom.
Just as they reached the corner, they saw Guoguo being pinned against the wall by Shi Jin. The two were almost touching, especially from Bai Zhenzhu's angle, it looked like Shi Jin was about to kiss Guoguo.
White Pearl was utterly speechless.
In broad daylight, why can't you hold back?
I never realized Shi Jin had such a womanizing stud side before. It seems Guo Guo is really taking good care of him! Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to go into heat so easily!
Guoguo's heart was pounding. Just as Shi Jin's kiss was about to land, she quickly closed her eyes.
But I didn't feel any tingling sensation on my lips for a long time.
And she suddenly realized that the shadow that had enveloped her small body seemed to have disappeared.
She opened her blurry eyes and saw that Shi Jin had already left sometime earlier.
It turned out that when Shi Jin glanced at Bai Zhenzhu out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Bai Zhenzhu hadn't even looked in his direction and seemed completely indifferent. In the end, she went to the restroom without even turning her head back.
This caused Shi Jin, who was confident that he could make Bai Zhenzhu jealous, to feel a great sense of frustration.
So he immediately got up, didn't linger any longer, and left the teaching building.
Just then, Bai Zhenzhu suddenly came out of the back door again and went straight to Guoguo.
He gave her a disdainful look, scrutinizing her from head to toe.
Guoguo felt uncomfortable under Bai Zhenzhu's unfriendly gaze.
She asked timidly, "Why are you looking at me?"
A faint, disdainful smile played on Bai Zhenzhu's lips, but she remained silent.
Guoguo didn't want to cause trouble, so she pretended nothing had happened and hurried back to class.
Just as she was about to step away from Bai Zhenzhu, Bai Zhenzhu suddenly grabbed her hair from behind and pulled hard, causing her to almost fall backward due to inertia.
"Ah!" she screamed.
Bai Zhenzhu immediately let go, and even took out a tissue from her pocket to wipe her hands with disgust.
What are you doing!
Although Guoguo was very angry, her words still lacked any power, like a kitten scratching her.
Bai Zhenzhu smiled and nodded, "So he was completely captivated by your delicate, Lin Daiyu-like appearance. Not bad, not bad. Keep up the good work in the future..."
Guoguo looked at her, puzzled, not understanding what she was talking about.
"Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?"
"Who I am is not important, what matters is who you are. Remember what your sister said, treat him well from now on, just consider it..."
She didn't say the rest of her sentence because she suddenly realized that what she was about to say was strange.
It was as if they were entrusting Shi Jin to Guo Guo.
She must have lost her mind!
She coughed awkwardly, then smiled at Guoguo, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
...
For a period of time afterward, Shi Jin never contacted Guo Guo again.
Because he knew that Bai Zhenzhu truly wouldn't be jealous, and that she genuinely didn't like him.
His self-righteous judgment seemed ridiculous at that moment.
He didn't want to be a laughing stock anymore.
So life gradually settled down.
His heart didn't seem to hurt as much anymore.
To heal her heartbreak, she even flew to the Maldives for more than a week before returning.
He once again confidently believed that everything about the white pearl would be gradually forgotten with the passage of time.
As a result, a simple art exhibition brought the two together again...
Shi Jin knew a senior from high school whose cousin held an art exhibition and invited Shi Jin to attend.
Shi Jin didn't want to go, but he learned that all the funds raised from the art exhibition would be donated to children in impoverished mountainous areas.
He thought it was a meaningful thing to do, so he went anyway, and planned to buy a few more paintings that he liked to give to his mother.
He dressed casually, wearing a navy blue baseball cap and all-black casual wear, and entered the art exhibition with a catalog in his hand.
He wandered around, not knowing much about art, just browsing. If he found something that caught his eye, he would buy it without asking the price.
Just as he stopped in front of a very torn and dark painting, a familiar voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Senior, I actually really like this style. It's unique and expressive, not one of those generic works that just show off technique..."
"Hmm, it's quite unique... I've never seen you draw before. If I had the chance, I'd really like to be your model..."
"Senior, I also really want to draw a different version of you..."
Shi Jin listened silently to their conversation, appearing unmoved on the surface, but the half of his body closest to them had already involuntarily stiffened.
Is Kyoto really that small? He had deliberately avoided places where the White Pearl might appear, yet he still encountered her?
Could it be that their fate is not yet over?
He even ridiculously harbored a small, secret hope.
But as their voices faded into the distance until they could no longer be heard, Shi Jin suddenly realized that Bai Zhenzhu hadn't seen him at all.
Perhaps, in Bai Zhenzhu's eyes and heart, Shi Jin had long since ceased to exist.
He just stood there, dumbfounded and dejected, in front of the picture, like a penitent reflecting on his mistakes.
After an unknown amount of time, a familiar person suddenly appeared beside me.
