Chapter Thirty-Five: United Harmony

  From that day on, Ji Su-yin finally began her peaceful university life. After cautiously observing for a few days and finding that there were no more strange occurrences, Ji Su-yin truly let out a sigh of relief. With an improved mood, she felt energized about everything, but one place made her feel somewhat uneasy - Nie Yuan! Ever since then, whenever Ji Su-yin played with the group, she would intentionally or unintentionally avoid Nie Yuan. This not only made herself uncomfortable but also made Nie Yuan equally uncomfortable. Finally, seizing the opportunity, he pulled Ji Su-yin out and found a quiet place for the two of them to have an open conversation.

  "Hey! I'm saying, Season's daughter! Why have you been avoiding me lately?" Nie Yuan furrowed his brow, looking very displeased. Ji Suoyun rolled her eyes in her heart, she was even more displeased than him! He was good, turning the tables on her like that!

  "No way! I'm not avoiding you, you're just overthinking, too sensitive!" Nian Yuan said with a smirk, staring at Ji Su's deliberately innocent expression, feeling somewhat bitter in his heart.

  "Are we still friends?" Nie Yuan asked bluntly, just as he was about to say something else, Ji Su's voice came out and interrupted him: "Right! We've always been good buddies, haven't we? Don't think too much, isn't it fine like this?" After finishing speaking, she even patted his shoulder carelessly, causing Nie Yuan's unspoken words to be forcefully suppressed. The two quickly returned to their usual base, and the two continued to fool around as usual, only that from now on Nie Yuan would often follow Huang Xiaoyu instead of her.

  Others may have understood, but pretended not to. It was another Sunday, and Ji Suoyan wandered around alone, buying a popsicle stick and slowly sucking on it. Just after passing by Yifu Building, she caught sight of a familiar figure - Tian Haiqing!

  Tian Haiqing was on the phone, his tone quite urgent, even a bit flustered: "The gathering is this afternoon, just a few hours away, where are you going to get someone for me now? Ah? You don't care? Who cares? Don't forget, this was your idea, now it's come to this, and you're relying on me, right? I think you little brat is just asking for a beating! Hello, talk to me, hello, I'm going to your sister's! Dare to hang up the phone on me, watch me not beat you to death!" Tian Haiqing had just hung up the phone when he looked up and saw Ji Suyan.

  Originally intending not to disturb Tian Haiqing, Ji Suoyun was taken aback and quickly smiled and greeted: "Ah! Tian senior, what a coincidence!" Tian Haiqing smiled politely, just about to say something, when suddenly he seemed to think of something and stared at her intently.

  Ji Su's heart felt a bit hairy, and she awkwardly pulled the corner of her mouth, opening her mouth to say: "That, senior, if there's nothing else, I'll head back first, I still have..." Before she could finish speaking, Tian Haiqing immediately cut her off: "There is something! I just so happen to have a favor to ask of Su Su!"

  Ji Su's heart went "thud" and she quickly made an excuse: "But I just so happen to have something on..."

  Tian Haiqing insisted on not letting her say the reason out loud: "It won't be too much trouble for you, you just need to go through the motions and that's it, really! You'll get good food and drink, please! Help your brother out! Brother will treat you to a meal later! Hmm? How about it?" He looked at her with a flushed face, putting on such a pitiful expression, even clasping his hands together in supplication.

  Ji Su Yin let out a sigh, "Fine! But you have to tell me what's going on first, or I'll be laughed at if I get sold!" Tian Hai Qing chuckled: "Su Yin, you're thinking too much, how could your senior sell you?! This time it's really an emergency..." Originally, he thought this matter wasn't a big deal, helping his senior was just a small favor. As for Ji Su Yin, she actually just went to freeload food and drink.

  There's a beautiful university on the other side of the wall, with many handsome boys and pretty girls inside. Our university has been drooling for a long time. Coincidentally, a classmate of Tian Haiqing has a younger brother in the neighboring school, and after discussing it, they decided to hold a joint party. Each side would send 10 people. Just as they were about to leave, one of the girls suddenly said she couldn't go, and there weren't enough people. Originally, Ji Suyan didn't have to go, but there was no time to find someone else, so they had to grab Ji Suyan who happened to be around.

  Looking around, there were only two or three familiar faces. After dressing up, they all looked good, like human beings, ah! Ji Su Yin tried to comfort herself, she was just going to make up the numbers, it wasn't worth making a big fuss, no need, no need.

  It's inevitable that others would look down on her, lowering the overall level of A University! She tried to ignore the occasional strange glances from others, treating it as a chance to practice her "thick-skinned" skill. Tian Haiqing was still quite loyal, clearly sensing her awkward situation and staying by her side to chat, which made her feel much better. As long as she successfully completed this favor, she could ask for a super-value-for-money steak set meal at a certain restaurant, haha!

  Ten minutes later, they entered a decent entertainment city, entered the private room, and introduced each other. Then, Ji Su Yun regretted helping with this matter. Originally! She was just there to make up the numbers, mixed eating and drinking, but couldn't stand others picking on her!

  As soon as they entered the private room, the other party had already arrived and everything was ready, just waiting for them to start. The two parties were matched one-to-one, after a round of introductions, Tian Haiqing and Ji Suyin discovered that the other side was missing a boy.

  This is fine, but the leader of the other side still said a sentence, "The person will be here soon, on the road." Ji Su Yun shrugged her shoulders, guessing that the person had arrived, and it was too late to choose a good one. Coming so late, she could only follow her, like a cannon fodder!

  Everyone else was chatting and laughing, except for Ji Su-yin, who was sitting alone in the corner, eating happily. Twenty minutes later, someone suggested karaoke, and the atmosphere gradually became more lively, with men toasting each other and some bold women drinking a lot too. Even Ji Su-yin was coaxed into downing two cups, which Tian Hai-qing noticed but couldn't stop. Just as things were getting high, the door to the private room suddenly swung open, and the whole room fell silent.

  Ji Su was biting on a squid thread, half of which was still hanging from the corner of her mouth. She raised her head and looked around, only to find that all the girls in the private room were gazing at him with sparkling eyes. Turning her head again, she thought to herself, "This young man is indeed quite handsome, about 180 cm tall, with chestnut-colored hair that looks very soft, regular features, and a delicate complexion - what a tender and charming youth!"

  The next moment, the atmosphere became heated again. The girls were staring, and the boys were muttering to each other: "Damn it! Who's the idiot who called Su Cong over? Can't they see we're trying to live?" Is that really necessary? Su Cong may look okay, but he's not that handsome, is he? Qi Xiu and Ge Laoshi are way more handsome than him.

  However, looking at this house, it really sets off the beauty of the flowers! Hmm? Su Zong's name sounds quite familiar. Ji Suoyun was deep in thought over here, when Su Cong greeted the leader and walked towards her. No choice, only she had an empty seat left. The other girls couldn't wait to sit next to Su Cong immediately, but it wouldn't be good to be too obvious and lose face.

  With a sigh, he could only transform into a sharp sword and shoot towards Ji Su's body. From the moment Su Cong saw Ji Su, she secretly raised an eyebrow. After sitting down, she didn't see any reaction from Ji Su, so she asked herself: "Hello, my name is Su Cong, can you tell me your name?" With a whoosh, Ji Su sucked the squid silk back into her mouth, without even lifting her head, and subconsciously replied: "Ji Su." Su Cong's face turned serious, his voice involuntarily rising: "It really is you!"
