Chapter 151 Surprise
Qiao Zheng's words failed to change Qiao Zhiyu's attitude.
But it actually made him feel worse.
He did not intend to follow Qiao Zheng's wishes and tie Yu Zhi and himself together for utilitarian purposes.
But she couldn't help but feel jealous that Chen Wang could have a closer relationship with her.
And Wei Yuan also made it clear that he wanted to pursue Yu Zhi.
Even the fire dragon felt Yu Zhi's comfort in this team competition.
This made Qiao Zhiyu feel that he was more like an optional choice to Yu Zhi.
He closed his eyes in annoyance, but couldn't help feeling a little timid in his heart.
But it was obvious that during the training and simulation competitions on campus, Xiao Zhi and he had been so close and dependent on each other.
But she seemed to treat everyone else the same way during team competitions.
My thoughts became increasingly confused, and it felt like a huge rock was pressing down on my chest, making it hard to breathe.
I endured like this until five o'clock in the afternoon.
The computer started ringing in the empty dormitory.
Qiao Zhiyu sat up suddenly as if he had been electrocuted, with an expectant look on his face.
This is the ringtone he set specifically for Yu Zhi.
"Xiao Zhi?" He answered almost immediately, his tone filled with joy.
"Zhiyu, I'm at..." Yu Zhi sounded a little anxious and flustered, "Can you come over?"
"What happened?" Qiao Zhiyu's expression was replaced by a solemn one, and he calmly said, "Don't worry, I'll be right over."
Yu Zhi seemed a little hesitant. She just urged him to come over as soon as possible and then hung up the phone.
Qiao Zhiyu didn't know what had happened and tried to remain calm on the surface, but the speed with which he rushed out of the dormitory building revealed his inner anxiety.
He got on the hovercraft and hurried to the address Yu Zhi mentioned.
It is a large flat next to Liv shopping mall, and it was also the gift that Qiao Zhiyu gave to Yu Zhi on her birthday.
Regardless of being happy that Yu Zhi was willing to stay in the property he gave her, Qiao Zhiyu kept thinking about what might have happened to her.
In the core area of the central star, he can be contacted normally, so at least he will not be in direct danger.
Could it be that someone threatened Xiao Zhi with something?
Or did something happen at the Yu family?
As Qiao Zhiyu thought about it, his expression became increasingly cold.
No matter what it is, as long as it affects Xiaozhi, he will solve it.

The hover car was speeding on the aerial route, but fortunately he enjoyed immunity as the crown prince of the empire.
It took Qiao Zhiyu less than a quarter of an hour to reach where Yu Zhi was.
He rang the video doorbell twice in succession, but the door never opened.
The anxiety in my heart became even stronger.
Just when Qiao Zhiyu was thinking of breaking in through the door, the door suddenly opened from the inside.
There were celebratory fireworks showering down.
"Happy birthday!"
Behind the door, a girl with a beautiful smile came up to us, holding a beautiful little cake.
There are two cute cartoon characters on the cake.
One of them has long platinum blonde hair and looks sweet, while the other has light brown hair and is followed by a white tiger.
You can tell at first glance that it is based on the images of the two people.
Qiao Zhiyu stood there in a daze.
He had never imagined this scene.
Since he was established as the crown prince, his birthday every year has become a show with political significance, a means to win over the major families.
After entering the Central Military Academy, he no longer continued this show and spent his time alone with Sheng Jiayi.
But at this moment, it seemed as if something in my heart exploded along with the falling fireworks, making another bang sound.
Maybe he has always been looking forward to someone celebrating his birthday with all their heart.
That's why I have been secretly looking forward to it today.
This expectation was shattered by Qiao Zheng, but was pieced back together again by Yu Zhi without missing a single piece.
The house was obviously decorated carefully, with birthday party decorations, flowers and balloons.
"How is it? Surprised?" There was some cunning in Yu Zhi's eyes, as if she was proud of herself for successfully shocking the other party.
Only then did Qiao Zhiyu come back to his senses from his complicated emotional state.
"Xiao Zhi..." His throat was a little dry, "So you're celebrating my birthday?"
"Yes." Seeing that his expression was a little off, Yu Zhi also restrained her outward emotions and said nervously, "I wanted to give you a surprise, so I kept it from you..."
Qiao Zhiyu knew that she had misunderstood what he meant, but he couldn't help but let out a low laugh.
"I'm very happy, Xiaozhi, thank you."
"That's good," Yu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and greeted happily again, "Come in quickly, my hands are sore from holding it up!"
Qiao Zhiyu laughed and took the cake from her hand.
When I walked into the living room, I saw that the dining table was already full of dishes, but it didn't look like they were ordered from outside.
"Xiao Zhi, are these...made by you?" he asked with some disbelief in his tone.
"Well, I feel that doing it by hand would be more sincere." Yu Zhi looked at him with a smile in her eyes.
Qiao Zhiyu felt like his heart was about to melt.
This moment was even comparable to the feeling of being deeply soothed by her.
All the unpleasantness from earlier in the day was forgotten, perhaps melted away by this all-too-beautiful scene.
Yu Zhi pulled him to the dining table and sat him down, placing the cake beside him.
"Let's eat first! Then blow out the candles and make a wish!" She was eager to have the other party taste her cooking.
The dishes on the table were delicious and Qiao Zhiyu couldn't wait to take a bite.
"Delicious!" He praised it without hesitation, and then picked up another dish and put it in his mouth.
He ate very slowly, as if he wanted to savor every flavor carefully so that he could savor it again and again in the days to come.
After both of them had almost finished eating, Qiao Zhiyu asked curiously.
"Xiao Zhi, how do you know my birthday is today?"
Yu Zhi raised her chin proudly, "You all came to my birthday party, so of course I want to know your birthdays too."
"Ahem," she cleared her throat and said seriously, "I asked Sheng Jiayi about it and told him my plan."
Qiao Zhiyu understood.
No wonder Sheng Jiayi said with a complicated expression this morning that he had to go out for something.
I think it’s because after knowing that Xiao Zhi was going to celebrate his birthday alone, he felt envious and jealous, but also happy for him.
Yu Zhi took a lighter and lit the candles, pushed the cake in front of Qiao Zhiyu, and dimmed the lights in the living room.
The sparks ignited, reflecting on the number "22" on the candle, emitting a warm and soft light.
"You can make a wish now!"
The girl looked at him expectantly.
Qiao Zhiyu's Adam's apple slid, he closed his eyes obediently, and clasped his hands together devoutly——
Even though he once didn't believe that birthday wishes could come true.
His thoughts seemed to calm down, and he silently repeated his only wish in his heart.
