Chapter 99
What's more depressing than unrequited love? Unrequited love! Other things are fine, but the key is that it's hard to bear! Yucai classmate fell into self-loathing again, and at this time, Xiaomei leaned in with concern, "Yucai, haven't you calmed down yet?"
Yu Cai lazily smiled and said, "Not really, these past few days the weather has been gloomy, making me feel lazy."
Xia Yun let out a soft "oh" and stopped talking. Alright, Xia little girl was still too immature, although she managed to cover up her disgust, but it's still a distance from being enthusiastic and caring.
"By the way, where has He Qi been these past few days?"
"He just bought a car and doesn't know how to show it off yet, probably cruising around every day"
。
Yu Cai shook her head and smiled, those carefree days of youth, she had returned, but ultimately lost the mindset of her younger years.
The two of them fell silent again, and the hall returned to its quiet state, until a sudden ringing sound broke the silence. Yu Cai looked at it, exclaimed, stood up and walked upstairs, "I'm really honored, you actually took the trouble to call me".
The boy on the other end of the phone laughed a bit slyly, "Without Yu Xue's nagging in my ear, I suddenly find life a bit boring."
"Is this what they mean by absence makes the heart grow fonder?"
"No choice, people just like being cheap!"
Yu Cai laughed, "You're really shameless at just the right time, it so happens I was just thinking of you too."
"Come back."
Yu Cai subconsciously stopped and turned back to ask Ji Shi.
"Come back."
Yu Cai walked back and forth, though surprised, without any objection.
"Hey, who was just talking?"
"My younger male cousin"
The boy let out a sound and said, "I said that once summer vacation started, Yu Xue would forget about me. It turns out she has a handsome younger brother to keep her company."
"Isn't this just giving you a moment of calm thinking?"
"But speaking of thinking, I've actually thought a lot during this period."
Yu Cai exclaimed loudly, "Are you saying this in such a tone to tell me that Yu Cai has finally seen the clouds disperse and the moon shine brightly?"
The boy sighed and was about to speak when Ji Shi rushed over and snatched the phone from Yu Cai, "Yu Cai's senior?"
The boy smiled and said, "Yu Cai's younger brother?"
Qī shì zhī lěng shēng, "bú yào chán zhe yù cǎi".
Translation:
"Let go of Yu Cai," said Qi Shi in a cold voice.
"Hey, you've got the wrong person, it's your cousin who should stop pestering me"
。
"She won't bother you again, take care of yourself," said Ji Xizhe before hanging up the phone with a bang.
Someone who was shocked finally came back to their senses, "A Shi, you, you——"
Shi Zhi didn't even bother with her, picked up the phone on the table and started dialing. On the other end of the line, Qi Shu Fan stared at the name displayed on his phone, his eyes wide with disbelief, his hand shaking slightly as he held the phone, "Shi Zhi?"
"It's me, Yucai's senior, Cui Minghui, number xxx. He is ready to accept Yucai," said Qizhi and hung up the phone cleanly.
"Ah, Ah Shi, what are you doing?"
"Are you really ready to date him?"
"Ah——"
"Don't waste yourself."
"Ah——"
"Don't contact him again."
"Ah, ah——"
"Otherwise, we will break off all relations."
Yu Cai Lian, is this really her fellow student and junior of Qi Shi, the taciturn and expressionless one?
That comrade was stunned for a moment before regaining his senses from the surprise, or rather shock. He dialed the number on the paper and said, "May I ask if this is Cui Minghui? I'm Yu Cai's uncle, is it convenient to chat with me now?"
Apparently, not only Yu Cai and Qi Shu Fan were shocked, but also Xia Yunyun, a little girl, was stunned. She didn't know that Qi Shui, who seemed to be indifferent and didn't care about anything, would behave like this. His actions confused her, she didn't understand what he meant by his words and actions, not letting Yu Cai interact with others? Even using Qi Shu Fan?
After a while, Yu Cai spoke in a low voice, "Xia Yunyun, I'm really sorry, we still have something to do, can you come play again next time?"
This is the guest order, Xia Yunyun was even more resentful, what right did she have, Xia Xiao's moral integrity was still shallow after all, and her eyes, which were filled with jealousy and anger, could no longer be concealed. Yu Ze didn't notice the depressed mood of Qiu Cai, but raised an eyebrow, "We still have something to do."
"Okay, I'll go first, see you next time and we can play again."
。
Xia Yunyun left, Yu Cai picked up the pillow on the sofa and weakly said, "A Shi... I'm sorry".
"You didn't wrong me."
"It's not my fault"
Qī shì zhī méi yǒu kāikǒu, Yù Cǎi tóu máibùrù bào zhěn zhōng, "ā Shì, wǒ——"
Translation:
Jishen didn't say a word, Yucai buried her head in his chest, "A Shi, I——"
Ji Shi waited for a while before speaking in a cold tone, "Xia Yunyun, be careful of her."
The topic changed too quickly, Yu Cai was stunned and asked, "What does that mean?"
"She just gave you a very strange look."
Yu Cai thought for a moment, "I also feel that these days she looks at me with an expression that's not quite right, it makes my whole body feel uncomfortable".
Ji Shi didn't speak again, and the two fell into silence once more.
Yu's birthday is a headache, what gift to give? Yu has thought about it until her hair turned white, but still can't think of anything. Just as she was worrying, the postman delivered two golden invitation cards. Yu opened them and threw them to Qi Shi Zhi. Xia Yun Yun curiously asked what they were.
"It's Shi Chengyu's birthday, by the way, Xia Yunyun, what gift do you think I should give him?"
"Just send something casually, he won't lack anything anyway."
It's indeed pointless to ask, and it's also pointless not to ask.
He slammed his hand on the table and said, "I'm not going."
"Uh—" Yu Cai knocked her head in distress, "The key is that I agreed with Jian Xun that day, and also agreed to help you".
"I'm not going."
Yu Cai suddenly realized, "I see, you're afraid of Shi Xiaomei!"
Ji Shi got angry and said: "Who's afraid of a little girl whose teeth haven't even grown in yet?"
Yu Cai nodded, "There were many people that day, Shi Chengyu might not have noticed either. I'll tell Jian Xun about it, they probably won't blame us."
。
Qí shì zhi hēng le yī shēng, yǐ zhù zì jǐ duì yù mǒu rén suǒ wèi liǎo rán de bú xiè.
Translation:
Ji Shi let out a cold snort to show his disdain for Yu Mouren's so-called understanding.
"But you won't go, the gift will definitely arrive, well, why not just give him a few hundred yuan directly, it's more convenient... Ah, I've got it, we can buy a few shares of Shi's real estate stock to give to him, that's quite a new idea!"
"Whatever you want."
"Alright then, how much is suitable? A thousand?"
"Whatever you want."
Yu Cai smiled and shook her head, lowering her head to search. Xia Yun had been trying to interject but couldn't get a word in edgewise, feeling extremely uncomfortable. She forced a smile and said, "Ji Shi, your birthday is coming up soon too, aren't you planning on celebrating?"
Yu Cai's expression changed as she looked up, "A Shi, your birthday is also during summer vacation?"
Xia Yunyun had a grievance in her heart, looking at him, she didn't even know his birthday, what right did she have?
"It's a good thing you don't like celebrating birthdays, otherwise this year's birthday gift would be a real headache."
Listen, listen, what's all this nonsense, Xia Xiaonu was even more resentful.
"A stone becomes jade when it is far from the kiln."
Yu Cai couldn't help but say, "A Shi, you've already said it once, and besides, they didn't even say anything. I couldn't possibly run up to them and say, 'Hey, I know you like me, but I absolutely cannot like you back, so stay away from me!' That's not how self-love works!"
Ji Shi's face didn't show any expression, but a hint of smile appeared in his eyes.
"Besides, I think Shi Chengyu really just likes my book, he didn't do anything special or say anything special either. Friends, friends, remember."
"However, Yu Xuan, I heard that Shi Chengyu rarely contacts girls, but he came when you were sick and also invited you to his birthday party. It's really not common."
Yu Cai furrowed her brow, "You're overthinking it, I'm not even half as good-looking as him, how could he possibly have his eyes on me?"
Xia Yunyun subconsciously glanced at Qi Shi, you look less than a third as good as him, should be, shouldn't be possible, right?
