Chapter 34 Birthday
"Pearl, did you see Li Qianni buy a new iPhone 17 Pro Max and is showing it off like that!"
When class ended, Bai Zhenzhu and Li Qianni were chatting in the last row when they saw Li Qianni being surrounded by several female classmates in the front row, showing off her newly bought cell phone.
Bai Zhenzhu rolled her eyes at her speechlessly. Li Qianni had always loved to show off since she was a child. She showed off her food and clothes, her father's job, and that she always got first place in her exams.
So superficial.
Bai Zhenzhu suddenly thought of something and said slyly, "Jiaxi, wouldn't you like to have the latest iPhone too?"
"Of course I want to, but I don't have the money. A brand new iPhone costs more than 10,000 yuan. I'll just stick with my Xiaomi."
“If you don’t have money, I can buy it for you. Your birthday is coming up soon, so consider it an early birthday present from me.”
"Oh? Pearl, you don't have much pocket money. This gift is too expensive. I can't accept it."
"I never said I was spending my money..."
That evening, when Bai Zhenzhu returned to the dormitory, she brought back two brand-new orange Apple phones and generously gave one to Yin Jiaxi.
"Pearl, you really bought it! I love you so much! Thank you! Mua!" She happily gave White Pearl a big kiss on the cheek.
While excitedly unpacking the package, Yin Jiaxi asked curiously, "By the way, you said you didn't spend your own money, so who bought it?"
"One was bought by Fu Nansheng, and the other was bought by Gu Siming."
"Oh my god, my best friend is so resourceful! I'm definitely going to follow you, Pearl, from now on. You have to help me achieve great success!"
"no problem!"
Afterwards, Bai Zhenzhu used her new phone to send WeChat messages to Fu Nansheng and Gu Siming respectively.
Thank you, Nansheng, I really like my new phone.
Thank you, Siming. I really like my new phone.
...
On Li Qianni's birthday.
Shi Jin waited at the classroom door where Li Qianni finished class, holding a large bouquet of lilies.
This was Shi Jin's first official appearance at Li Qianni's school, and his excessively handsome appearance immediately caused quite a stir.
Happy birthday, Qianni.
Li Qianni, unaware that Shi Jin would come, was so moved that she threw herself into his arms and shyly asked, "Shi Jin, are these flowers for me?"
"Yes, it's for you."
Shi Jin was not expected Li Qianni to be so proactive and enthusiastic, and he was a little uncomfortable. He shifted his body, but Li Qianni seemed to hug him even tighter.
Bai Zhenzhu, who had just finished class, happened to witness this sweet scene, and her eyes instantly turned cold.
She stared at him intently with a judgmental and disdainful gaze, as if trying to see right through him.
Shi Jin immediately turned his face away guiltily, and then casually pushed Li Qianni away from his arms.
Li Qianni stood up, still looking shy, "Shi Jin, I really like this flower, thank you."
Then, seeing the envious or jealous looks from the girls around him, he instantly became as proud as a peacock that looked down on everyone.
The expression on her face seemed to say: Look, this is my boyfriend, the heir of the Shi family. Isn't he handsome?
Shi Jin affectionately patted Li Qianni's head and said gently, "Qianni, let's go. I've already booked a restaurant for your birthday celebration."
So, Li Qianni left the school under the escort of Shi Jin, her Prince Charming.
Bai Zhenzhu stared at the two people standing close together and the glaring bouquet of lilies, her eyes blazing with fury.
"Pearl, what should we do? We all forgot that today is Li Qianni's birthday. Judging from Shi Jin's expression, he'll definitely confess to Li Qianni today! If he succeeds, won't all your efforts be in vain?"
"Jiaxi, I won't let Li Qianni be with Shi Jin. Just you wait and see. Today I'll make Li Qianni cry her heart out!"
...
Shi Jin booked a very high-end Western restaurant.
And they booked the entire venue.
Shi Jin very gentlemanly pushed out a chair for Li Qianni before sitting back down in his own seat.
He thoughtfully cut Li Qianni's steak and poured her some red wine.
Li Qianni felt all of this deeply, and her heart was pounding.
"Shi Jin, there's really no need to book the whole place. We can just have a casual meal."
"Qianni, today is the first birthday I've spent with you, and I really value it."
The simple phrase "I value it very much" instantly elevated their relationship to a whole new level.
Li Qianni knew that after today's meal, the two of them would definitely have a new breakthrough.
She will wait patiently...
A romantic piano piece was being played softly, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offered a view of the Kyoto River. Across from her stood the man she admired most. Li Qianni felt that there was no happier moment than this.
Halfway through their meal, Shi Jin put down his knife and fork, coughed lightly twice, as if preparing himself mentally.
Li Qianni naturally put down her knife and fork, gazing at him intently and affectionately.
She tried desperately to suppress her inner elation, but it seemed she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips no matter what she did.
She knew it was time.
Shi Jin spoke solemnly and earnestly: "Qianni, actually I..."
"Ding ding ding..."
Just at the most crucial moment, Shi Jin's phone rang.
Shi Jin glanced at her phone in annoyance, wanting to hang up, but then realized it was her mother calling.
He couldn't refuse.
"Excuse me, Qianni, I need to take this call."
At this moment, Li Qianni did not think that a phone call would have any impact on her.
The arrow was already on the bowstring, and Shi Jin had no choice but to release it.
So she kindly said, "It's okay, you can answer it."
To avoid Li Qianni overthinking, he didn't leave to answer the phone, but answered it in person, "Hello, Mom, what's up?"
When Li Qianni heard that it was Shi Jin's mother calling, she felt even less bothered, so she showed a generous and proper smile.
Unexpectedly, she saw that Shi Jin's expression was getting worse and worse, and finally she called out anxiously, "Mom, don't move, wait for me, I'm coming right now!"
At this point, Li Qianni realized that her birthday celebration seemed to be coming to an end, and that she wouldn't be able to hear what she wanted to hear.
"Shi Jin, what's wrong? What happened to Auntie?"
Shi Jin didn't have time to explain much to her, only leaving her with the words: "Qianni, I have something very important to do and I have to leave first. You can eat dinner by yourself, and a driver will take you back to your dormitory after you finish eating."
"Shi Jin! Don't leave me! Shi Jin!"
Shi Jin left in a hurry, ignoring Li Qianni's calls for him from behind.
Li Qianni sat back down in her chair, feeling weak and heartbroken. Looking at the sumptuous dinner on the table, she couldn't help but give a self-deprecating smile.
Has she been abandoned?
Even if something happened to Shi Jin's mother, he shouldn't have left himself here alone.
Li Qianni ended up eating her birthday dinner alone, and then sat by the window watching the night view for a while.
Then he got up to leave.
Just as she picked up her bag to leave, her WeChat suddenly beeped.
It was sent by Bai Zhenzhu; it was a photo.
A photo of Shi Jin sitting across from me, drinking coffee...
Li Qianni stared at the photo with red eyes, as if she could hear the sound of her heart breaking.
Shi Jin was lying to her!
It wasn't that Shi Jin's mother had an accident; Shi Jin was with that bitch Bai Zhenzhu!
Why! Why did you lie to her!
Just as she was about to make the call, Bai Zhenzhu sent her a WeChat message.
Shi Jin just told me that the perfume you wore today was very strong, and it even triggered his rhinitis.
Even though she knew Bai Zhenzhu was trying to sow discord, Li Qianni was still so angry that she trembled all over and smashed her phone on the ground, shattering it into pieces.
"White Pearl! You slut! I told you not to seduce Shi Jin again! I'll make you pay for this! Ah!"
