Shen Zhiyi smelled a faint, cool fragrance.
The suit fabric was crisp and gave off a coolness that matched his scent perfectly.
She looked up, about to say thank you, when she suddenly froze.
The man wore a black mask, revealing a pair of strikingly deep-set eyes and brows. He had a high, straight nose and pupils as dark as a deep pool of ink, gazing at her with a clear, unwavering gaze.
His gaze was devoid of emotion, carrying an innate, condescending scrutiny.
Shen Zhiyi was stunned by his cold and heroic aura.
A "thank you" stuck in my throat.
Before she could react, the man had politely released his grip on her waist and even taken a step back to create distance between them.
"Thank you," Shen Zhiyi finally said.
The man glanced at her again, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Watch where you're going." His voice came through the mask; it was a deep, resonant voice, like water flowing slowly beneath ice, unexpectedly pleasant to the ear.
His voice was deep.
Shen Zhiyi felt a strange sense of familiarity.
"You..." She was about to say something when she realized that the man had already turned and left, leaving her with a cold and imposing back view.
Shen Zhiyi shook her head.
What are you thinking about?
How could she possibly know someone like that?
He doesn't look like a student at all.
She was a bit far from the lakeside, and she's still feeling lingering fear.
A while ago, two students at the school accidentally fell into the lake.
Although no one was hurt, the school still took it seriously, putting up a sign by the lake and stipulating that the lakeside would be closed after 7 p.m.
She almost became the third one because she wasn't careful.
Shen Zhiyi found a bench nearby and sat down, patiently watching the passersby.
But even after waiting until 2 p.m., they still hadn't seen the man wearing the black hat.
Shen Zhiyi was very angry.
She rubbed her rumbling stomach and gave the still-running Suspended Island app a hard tap.
"He told me not to stand him up, but he turned out to be the one who stood him up!"
"Damn it, I can't wait any longer!"
She grabbed her bag, stood up, and said, "You actually got tricked by a young punk, Shen Zhiyi, you're something else."
She decided to go eat hot pot by herself.
After she finished eating, she strolled around the streets for a while and returned to her dorm at 6:30 pm.
As soon as the door was opened, Su Mian and Liang Zaixiao surrounded them, gossiping.
"How was the date? Did it go well?"
"Don't even mention it." Shen Zhiyi threw her bag on the table and complained to them about her experience today.
"What?!" Su Mian exclaimed in surprise, "There are actually people who don't know their worth and dare to stand up the school beauty! In your four years of college, how many guys wanted to ask you out but couldn't?"
Liang Zaixiao frowned: "Could something have caused this delay?"
She didn't believe anyone would abandon Zhiyi's pigeon.
Shen Zhiyi sighed and took out her phone. "I don't know, I just can't get in touch with them."
She opened the software and found that it had returned to normal!
Bo Xu's messages popped up like they were free.
"Sister, where am I?"
"Sister, I'll be waiting for you right here at this statue. I'm wearing a black hat, so you'll see me as soon as you come over."
"Has my sister changed her mind and doesn't want to see me anymore?"
"Sister, it's so cold by the lake..."
The messages ran from around 9 a.m. until 6 p.m.
Just as she was about to question him, Bo Xu sent her another message.
"Sister, no matter how late it is tonight, I will wait for you here. I will wait until you are willing to come and see me."
Shen Zhiyi laughed.
She angrily replied with a voice message: "Act, you act again."
"If I hadn't waited from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., I would have really believed it!"
"You're making a fool of me, is that fun?"
"Don't contact me again."
She tossed her phone onto the table.
Su Mian felt terrible and handed over a big bag of snacks.
"Don't be angry, it's not worth it for such a pigeon spirit."
Liang Zaixiao also comforted him, "Yes, don't worry about him. I'm free tomorrow, so I'll treat you to a movie! Let's invite Mingyue and go out for a meal together."
"Sisters are the best." Shen Zhiyi felt a surge of warmth.
Su Mian laughed and said, "If I had known, you would have gone to the lecture hall instead. I heard your company president is incredibly handsome! More handsome than a celebrity!"
"Let me find you a photo!"
She scrolled through her phone while lamenting, "That brat is so lucky to be working with such a handsome guy in the future."
Shen Zhiyi chuckled.
"What are you thinking? I'm just an ordinary employee, how could I possibly run into the CEO?"
She was interviewing for the position of assistant to the marketing manager.
It's quite far from the CEO's office.
“There’s always a chance.” Su Mian finally found the photo and quickly handed it to Shen Zhiyi. “Here! My friend from the journalism department took this. Look at this stunning beauty!”
She clutched her chest. "It's no exaggeration to say that when I saw him today, my heart almost stopped."
Liang Zaixiao also came over to take a look.
"Wow! That's really handsome!"
Shen Zhiyi stared intently, her watery eyes widening instantly.
this……
This reminds me a bit of the man who saved her by the lake today, doesn't it?
She zoomed in on the screen with her fingertips, scrutinizing his suit and features.
They really look alike!
I didn't expect him to look even more handsome without his mask on.
She just seems to have a bit of a bad temper.
She recalled his words from earlier that day: "Watch where you're going." His voice was calm, yet it sounded like he was lecturing her.
It sounds unsettling.
"He is indeed handsome, but I probably won't have a chance to see him again." Shen Zhiyi felt that if he was really the man she met today, it would be better not to run into him again.
