Chen Sisi then realized that she was still in Lu Zhe's arms and quickly left the embrace that she felt somewhat reluctant to leave.
Looking up, she met Lu Zhe's handsome face, which had a half-smile.
Chen Sisi: "..."
It's so unlovable. Before, he was like a little puppy, always following her around and listening to her every word. I don't know when it started, but this little puppy beside me has grown up.
It became someone she could rely on.
"You, how did you get here?"
Looking at the big boy beside her, whose clothes were still damp, Chen Sisi felt a little guilty.
She left him standing outside the dormitory under the blazing sun, but now he's still coming in the pouring rain. Thinking about it, wasn't what she did before quite excessive?
Lu Zhe gave a light snort of annoyance, "If I hadn't come soon, someone else would have been eyeing my girlfriend."
Even though he said that, he still asked, "Why didn't you walk with him? That senior seemed really nice to you, and he's not bad-looking either. If I hadn't come, would you have just waited until the rain stopped?"
Although the words were spoken plainly, Shen Sisi still sensed a sour taste in them. She looked up at his feigned indifference and her voice sounded somewhat awkward.
"Because I have a boyfriend, of course I need to keep my distance from them. We just had a fight, it's not like I don't like you anymore. Besides, I can have my roommates pick me up, they probably don't have classes."
As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, but those around her could still hear what she said next.
Lu Zhe's mood visibly improved, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
He looked down at the girl beside him, and his previous anger seemed to vanish in an instant. Now, he had only one thought in his mind.
That is: His girlfriend is so cute.
Even when she's angry, she's like a kitten stretching out its paws, incredibly cute. If it weren't for the fact that she seems to still be angry right now, I would want to pull her closer and hug her.
"Shall we... go?"
Then, the two figures, one tall and one short, strolled through the rain-soaked campus, sharing an umbrella.
At this moment, it seemed as if the world had fallen silent, and the sound of raindrops hitting umbrellas overhead seemed to unintentionally add a touch of romance to the atmosphere.
Despite the noisy surroundings, the two of them could still hear their own heartbeats pounding in the otherwise quiet environment.
Perhaps it's really as Shen Sisi said: arguments are arguments, but the feelings of attraction never disappear.
They still like each other.
The two barely spoke along the way, and soon they arrived at the girls' dormitory building.
Chen Sisi stood in the stairwell, watching the boy with an umbrella in the heavy rain, and pursed her lips. "Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
She didn't believe Lu Zhe didn't know why she was angry.
Now that she has given him an out, will he explain?
But she was met with silence. Seeing this, she gave a bitter smile and was about to turn around when she heard Lu Zhe's voice behind her, which sounded somewhat anxious.
"Sisi, are you free this Saturday? I'll tell you everything you want to know."
Inside Starry Manor.
Qi Jiu watched Lu Zhe speed up his movements and smiled. "She's still angry, isn't she?"
If he wasn't angry, why would he come here now to rush the progress?
Seeing the boy's dejected look, the girl knew what had happened without even thinking. If it were her, and Qi Silin had stood her up several times, she wouldn't have bothered coming at all.
Qi Silin: "..."
Lu Zhe hummed in response, his aggrieved yet helpless expression amusing Qi Jiu.
"So you shouldn't have been so timid to confess your feelings online from the beginning. I already said that confessions should start with a bouquet of flowers, otherwise all this trouble wouldn't have happened."
Although Qi Silin didn't say much or offer her flowers when they were together, the entire fortune he poured into supporting her each time was probably comparable to those flowers, wasn't it?
Flowers: "..." How could I possibly be compared to your family's wealth?
"Sister Qiqi, it's my fault. I was too timid back then. It's understandable that Sisi is angry now, but I'm afraid of upsetting her."
Looking at him now, Qi Jiu didn't know what else to say. After all, he had already taken the initiative to admit his mistake and had gone to great lengths to do so much.
Saturday night.
She looked thoughtfully at Lu Zhe beside her, a hint of probing in her eyes.
Lu Zhe today is completely different from before, not only in appearance, but also in the aura he exudes from within.
Today he was dressed in a suit, an outfit that was somewhat different from his identity as a college student. Even the stray hairs on his head were carefully styled, which unintentionally added a touch of maturity to his appearance.
Actually, she was dressed very elegantly, in a one-of-a-kind little dress, with exquisite makeup and a hairstyle that took a long time to perfect.
The car slowly came to a stop, and she looked at the auction house in front of her, momentarily stunned.
Dressed like that, she thought she was attending some kind of banquet, and she was even prepared to go. She never expected that they would end up at a famous auction in City A.
Looking at the business tycoons appearing around her, the young girl felt out of place, because she had never been here before.
But that feeling of unease quickly disappeared. The warmth from her hands was like a reassurance.
Lu Zhe lowered his head and whispered in Shen Sisi's ear.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Seeing the couples passing by, Chen Sisi finally felt at ease and slowly walked in, taking Lu Zhe's arm.
Today, she was dressed like a delicate porcelain doll, and she attracted a lot of attention as soon as she appeared.
Finally, the two of them sat down in the first row.
Shen Sisi glanced at the business tycoons behind her, then at her current position, and pursed her lips. Although she had never attended such an event before, she was still somewhat familiar with it.
Although they are children of the Shen and Lu families, and their status in City A is indeed unshakeable, as juniors, isn't it a bit... a bit...
Lu Zhe, standing beside her, didn't seem to notice anything amiss. He reached out and tucked a stray hair behind her ear, his voice magnetic and affectionate.
"Don't worry, if you see anything you like later, just take a picture of it. Consider it my apology to you. Don't worry about my wallet."
Upon hearing this, Shen Sisi merely nodded slightly, but her expression showed little interest.
Generally speaking, auctions of this caliber either sell rare, out-of-print jewelry or antiques, but coincidentally, she had no interest in either of those.
