reunion
The scenery outside the window kept flying by, the temperature inside the car was just right, and the rhythmic music filled his eardrums. Qi Bai chewed gum, his shoulders swaying in time with the music, moving in a very rhythmic manner.
Until someone pressed the pause button on the speaker.
Qi Bo immediately yelled: "Hey, hey, hey - sister, why do you care about my music?"
The young woman in the back seat was beautiful. She had fair skin, delicate features, and slightly upturned eyes that added a touch of aggression to her beauty, making her incredibly captivating at first glance.
The clamorous music finally stopped, and Shen Anyan was delighted with the peace and quiet. Hearing this, he replied lazily, "You seem so engrossed in listening that I'm afraid you might accidentally step on the accelerator and mistake it for the brake, and then send us both to the west."
Qi Bai laughed and said, "How is it possible——"
She patted the steering wheel and said confidently, "Sister, my skills are excellent! Even if the car goes up into the sky, I can guarantee that we two sisters can be brought down safely!"
Shen Anyan was too lazy to pay attention to the other party's nonsense.
Since the annoying music had been turned off, she slumped back into the sofa. She had slept a little late the previous night, so she planned to take advantage of this opportunity to catch up on some sleep.
The phone vibrated slightly and a message alert sounded.
Shen Anyan's brows unconsciously frowned when her rest was interrupted, but when she saw the sender's ID, her originally impatient expression suddenly eased.
Gu Cijiang: [peek]
Gu Cijiang: Are you busy now?
Shen Anyan smiled subconsciously, clicked into the chat interface and replied to the other party's message.
Shen Anyan: In the car.
Shen Anyan: What happened?
Gu Cijiang: Can I pick you up after the party?
Gu Cijiang: What do you want to eat tonight?
Gu Cijiang: [acting cute]
Gu Cijiang: I miss you so much.
Shen Anyan laughed again.
She replied patiently one by one.
Shen Anyan: Okay, I’ll text you when it’s over.
Shen'an Feast: Fried chicken, barbecue, and cakes from the new shop down the street.
Shen Anyan: I miss you too.
Gu Cijiang: [shy]
Gu Cijiang: Okay, I’ll go prepare it!
Gu Cijiang: Eating too much at night is bad for my stomach. Can I replace the fried chicken with porridge?
Shen Anyan:Okay.
Qi Bai saw the other girl's unconcealed joy in the rearview mirror. Perhaps because she saw her usually aloof sister showing such a rare expression, she couldn't help but jokingly said, "Hey, which brother or sister are you chatting with?"
Shen Anyan said: "Farewell Jiang."
Qi Bai: "Oh—your new love?"
Shen Anyan turned off the screen. When he heard the other party's words, his face instantly turned cold and he corrected: "I don't have an old love, and he is not a new love. Gu Cijiang is my serious boyfriend."
She paused and added, "Don't make jokes like that in the future. I don't like it."
Qi Bai smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, okay, I get it, don't be angry, don't be angry."
She glanced at her sister who was in the throes of love and sighed in distress.
Qi Bai had, of course, heard of Gu Cijiang's fame. Everyone in Haicheng knew the Gu family, and they controlled nearly all of the coastal region's foreign trade. To say they were wealthy enough to rival a nation wouldn't be an exaggeration. As the sole heir to the Gu family's grandchildren, Gu Cijiang had been sent to the interior for years to gain experience, and now he had begun to shine in the capital, becoming a rising star.
From what Qi Bai had seen, the heir to the Gu family was a man of great cunning, ruthless methods, and a decisive and decisive business acumen. He seemed like a completely different person from his sister, who was unemployed and pursuing art at home.
I don't know how these two fell in love with each other.
Qi Bai let out a long sigh.
It would be fine if her sister was just playing around with the other person, but now it seems that Shen Anyan is probably taking this relationship seriously, and she is a little worried that her sister will suffer.
So sad...

"…Is this what you mean by 'just coming to sing a song'?"
Shen Anyan asked expressionlessly.
The building in front of us is extremely luxurious. In front of the hall of the guild hall are two neatly arranged teams of reception staff, all of whom have distinctive looks and well-proportioned bodies.
After entering, there is no need to say anything about the interior decoration. The marble floor is shining with crystal light, the ambient light casts a hazy and ambiguous warm light, and the slow and lyrical music makes this place shrouded in a veil of mystery.
If Qi Bai hadn't taken her to a karaoke room on the third floor, Shen Anyan would have definitely turned around and left immediately.
Qi Bai laughed and said, "Since you're here, why not have some fun before leaving? Young man, what's the point of staying stuck at home all day long?"
Shen Anyan sighed and resignedly followed the other party into the box.
There were quite a few people inside, all of whom seemed to be familiar with Qi Bai. As soon as they met, they greeted each other warmly.
Someone noticed Shen Anyan and immediately whistled, teasing Qi Bai: "Hey, Sister Qi, have you fallen in love with a woman again recently?"
Qi Bai said: "Go away, this is my sister!"
The man chuckled twice and asked meaningfully, "Which sister?"
Qi Bai was speechless and said, "What's the difference between sisters? My cousin! We were born to the same grandmother, so we couldn't be closer!"
Knowing that she was a real sister, everyone stopped teasing. Several friends who were close to Qi Bai invited them to sit down.
Chen Anyan had no interest in such a crowded environment. After sitting down, she started looking down at her phone to pass the time. Qi Bai asked her several times if she wanted to sing a song, but Chen Anyan refused every time.
Someone couldn't stand it and deliberately started to make trouble: "Sister Qi, your sister is so mean. She's just singing a song, not drinking. You can't even give her a little face?"
The man's attitude didn't show any malice, and Qi Bai's friends were used to joking around, so she didn't take it seriously and said perfunctorily, "My sister is quite introverted. If she doesn't want to sing, then she doesn't have to."
However, some people misunderstood Qi Bai's intentions and thought that she didn't care about her sister. Shen Anyan was also very beautiful. These people had been ready to make a move for a long time and now they had no scruples anymore.
"How can this be possible? How can we not give Sister Qi face?"
"Little sister, singing a song won't hurt you, so don't be so naive!"
"Just, can you sing one?"
If he couldn't react, Qi Bai's years in the circle would be in vain. Her face darkened and she put down the wine glass in her hand.
The bottom of the cup hit the table with a sound that was neither light nor heavy.
The booing stopped instantly.
Shen Anyan gently held down Qi Bai's hand to stop him from getting angry.
"Yes, singing won't make you lose any weight, so just sing." She said with a smile.
Shen Anyan walked to the song request table and slowly searched for his favorite songs. After a while, a light and sweet nursery rhyme sounded in the box.
"Dear little rabbit, open the door, open it quickly, I want to come in..."
Qi Bai was originally furious, but he was amused by his sister's action and burst out laughing.
When her friends around her saw her smile, they also started laughing.
Those who were close to Qi Bai dared to say something like "Hey, your sister is so interesting" to smooth things over, but those who were far away, especially those who were tactless and started trouble first, could only smile along.
Everyone in the room was forced to listen to the children's songs for half an hour before Shen Anyan showed mercy and stopped playing the songs.
"Is this all right now?" she asked.
Who dares to say no?
Shen Anyan withdrew his hand and said to Qi Bai: "Sister, I'm going out for a walk. It's stuffy in the room."
Qi Bai said: "Go ahead, it's not interesting anyway. I'll take you somewhere else to play next time."
Shen Anyan replied "OK", put his phone in his pocket and left the box.
She hadn't eaten anything in the box just now, so after coming out she simply went to the front desk and ordered a cup of hot cocoa.
Who would have thought that maybe she didn't check the almanac before going out today, she actually met two ungrateful people in one day.
When it was time to check out, a hairspray man appeared out of nowhere and enthusiastically offered to help her pay.
Shen Anyan said politely: “No need, I have money.”
The hairspray man said, "Hey, little girl, what are you talking about? I see you're so young and haven't got a job yet. It's not easy for the elders to earn money, so you shouldn't be so extravagant with your money."
Chen Anyan felt very puzzled. Why did so many people like to be fathers to others outside?
She said, "If you don't have anywhere to spend the money, you can donate it to the Hope Project," and then directly showed the payment code to the waitress. The waitress collected the money very quickly, leaving no room for the hairspray man to make any moves.
Seeing that his attempt to get close to the girl failed, the hairspray man had to find another way.
"Girl, you look familiar to me..."
Shen Anyan rolled his eyes, served the hot cocoa and prepared to leave.
The hairspray man finally stopped being so reserved and quickly explained his purpose.
"Wait! I want to tell you about Gu Cijiang!"
Gu Cijiang?
Shen Anyan then stopped and looked back at the other party: "Okay, go ahead."
The hairspray man asked, "Did you know that Gu Cijiang had a girlfriend before?"
Shen Anyan said "Oh" calmly.
Hairspray Man: ...are you so calm?
It wasn't that Chen Anyan was cold-hearted. After all, Gu Cijiang was already 24, so it wasn't unusual for him to have been in a relationship before. The only thing that puzzled Chen Anyan was that when they first started dating, they'd discussed their past relationships, and he'd clearly said she was his first love. But to clarify the situation, Chen Anyan could simply ask her boyfriend directly. It was easy to tell who was more reliable, Gu Cijiang or the nerdy, hairspray-covered guy across from her.
The Hairspray Man's confident image was somewhat shattered. He saw that Shen Anyan was not the "normal person" he thought he was. Seeing that the other party was about to leave again, he hurriedly added: "Did you know that Gu Cijiang's ex-girlfriend was called Shengyan? You can look up his girlfriend's photo on their school's official website. You look exactly like her!"
But Shen Anyan didn't even stop for a moment, and his figure quickly disappeared outside the door.
Only the Hairspray Man was left standing there, furious.
The waitress, having had enough of the melon, smiled and reminded: "Gentlemen, please keep quiet in public."

"Sister, why do you want to go back so suddenly? I castrated his grandfather. Did those grandchildren just now make you unhappy? Just wait, I'm going to deal with them for you right now!"
After leaving the club, Shen Anyan sent a message to Qi Bai saying he was going back. Not long after the message was sent, Qi Bai called. Then came a long speech with a lot of references to his immediate family.
Shen Anyan said helplessly: "I am a little unhappy, but it's not because of those people, don't worry."
Qi Bai said: "Wait a minute, I'll drive you back."
Shen Anyan said: "No, someone will come to pick me up."
Qi Bai: "Who will pick you up... Oh, okay, be careful."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Anyan was silent for a moment, but still sent a message to Gu Cijiang.
Shen Anyan: Do you have time?
Not long after the message was sent, the other party replied.
Gu Cijiang: Yes, I’m not busy.
Gu Cijiang: Is the party over? So soon? I'll pick you up now.
[System prompt: The other party initiated location sharing]
Shen Anyan was stunned for a while before replying with an "OK" and joining the location sharing.
