Chapter 19: Ears Are Red (1)

Fu Yanzhi felt a little helpless.

For the first time!

All because for the first time in forever, he encountered a girl like Ji Qingying!

It was not that he hadn't been chased after before.

Fu Yanzhi was aware that he was considered quite good looking and he had been confessed to so many times since his school days until he entered society.

But he would always refuse those confessions.

After he explicitly stated his rejection, there were still people who continued to march forward courageously, but within half a month of facing a continuous cold shoulder, most of them would disappear.

But Ji Qingying was an exception.

She had a beautiful appearance and a graceful figure. Her every frown and every smile looked like those of graceful beauties from the Republic of China Pictorial.

It was especially obvious when she wore a cheongsam, which made her look gentle and graceful.

Of course, her personality was also gentle and self cultivating, which Fu Yanzhi knew very well.

It was the same.

She was gentle, but the stubbornness and persistence in her gentleness were incomparable to others.

She persisted much longer than Fu Yanzhi expected.

But her persistence did not cause him any trouble.

There were certain rules and standards on how to advance and retreat. Those were mainly these three rules: one was to advance if you should advance, the second was to retreat when you should retreat and the third was to retreat in order to advance.

He had to find a way to deal with her soon. If not, besides feeling helpless, he wouldn't be able to do anything.

He felt choked again, opened and closed his mouth a few times, but still couldnt speak smoothly.

Ji Qingying was aware of his embarrassment, so she bit her lower lips in thought and said empathetically, There is no other meaning Just casually talk about it.

Tell me, why are you looking for me?

Fu Yanzhi narrowed his eyes and stared at her before saying, I may have to trouble you for a favor.

Oh? Dont worry, just tell me.

Fu Yanzhi said Okay and added, Help me in picking a gift.

Ji Qingying turned the lollipop in her hand and asked in a low voice, For the kid who gave you the lollipop?

Yes.

Ji Qingying smiled and said readily, Okay, call me when the time comes.

Fu Yanzhi nodded.

Thank you so much.

The two didnt stay at the door for too long.

After achieving the goal she had in her mind, Ji Qingying returned to her house and disappeared out of sight.

As soon as she went inside, she stared at the thing in her hands for a long while before unwrapping and eating it.

The lollipop was much sweeter than she thought.

The sweetness made Ji Qingying forget about all her troubles and helped her have a good nights sleep.

At noon the next day.

Ji Qingying didnt go to the hospital as she had to hurry with a customers order.

It wasnt until late afternoon, that she found some time to send a message to Fu Yanzhi.

Ji Qingying: [Doctor Fu, are you busy today?]

Ji Qingying: [Are you free to take me to eat some local food?]

Just after sending the message out, Ji Qingyings mobile phone vibrated. It was a message from Ye Zhenzhen.

Ye Zhenzhen: [Senior Sister Ji! Are you at home?]

Even if it was just a text message sent on her phone, Ji Qingying could still feel the vitality of a college student, sitting all the way across a screen.

Ji Qingying: [Yes. What happened? You dont have any classes today?]

Ye Zhenzhen: [Yes, but there is a festival being held at our school today. I wanted to ask if you want to come and see it?]

This was an event that happened twice a year and was sort of a traditional practice done by the school from a long time ago.

The event was organized by several majors to encourage a friendly exchange between them.

There were music performances, other entertainment activities, and most importantly, there were fashion shows.

Not only the work but also the performances were done by the school students.

Relatively speaking, the event would be very lively.

When Ji Qingying looked at her information, she remembered that there seemed to be such an event.

Moreover, the activity time of each semester varied and it was possible to be hosted in April, May or June.

When she was still in school, she and Chen Xinyu also participated to join in the fun.

Ji Qingying had never visited her college after graduating.

It was not that she didnt want to go. There was simply nothing to do and she didnt want to wander around.

After looking at Ye Zhenzhens message, she suddenly became interested.

Ji Qingying: [What time does it start?]

Ye Zhenzhen: [7:30!!!]

Ji Qingying: [Okay, I will go there later.]

Ye Zhenzhen: [Okay, Senior Sister Ji you can give me a call when you reach. I will pick you up at the school gate!]

After sending the message to Ji Qingying, Ye Zhenzhen poked Fu Yanzhis Wechat: [Brother! Our school has an event tonight. Can you get off work on time? Do you want to come and see?]

As soon as Fu Yanzhi returned to the department, he saw both of their messages.

He paused in thought before typing: [Where is it?]

He read the text sent by Ye Zhenzhen and sent a short reply.

Fu Yanzhi: [I have no time.]

Ye Zhenzhen: [Ah! Well, I just asked Senior Sister Ji and she said that she wanted to come. If you dont have time, then Senior Sister Ji and I will ride a taxi.]

Fu Yanzhi: [Are you itching to get beaten?]

Ye Zhenzhen: [..No.]

Fu Yanzhi pursed his lower lip. Just as he was about to put down the phone, he received another message.

Ji Qingying: [How about the college town? Zhenzhen said that their school has a festival event. Would you like to go see it together?]

How exact was their approach going to be?!

Another message from Ye Zhenzhens side was also sent: [Brother! Think about it, please? My school is in a remote suburb, do you have the heart to watch Senior Sister Ji take a taxi there all alone in the wild. What if something happens to her?]

Feeling as if these words werent fierce enough, Ye Zhenzhen who was holding the mobile phone, continued to type: [Moreover, I still owe Senior Sister Ji a favor. Brother didnt you tell her last time to give you a call whenever she has something to do. I would not mind if you don't come to support me either. You can just be Senior Sister Jis driver.]

Fu Yanzhi glanced at her long list of messages, stretched his hand out to rub his head, and typed: [Whats the address again?.]

Ye Zhenzhen: [Ill be waiting for both of you.]

She put down the phone with a smile on her face.

The roommate took a look at her happy face and asked curiously, Zhenzhen, why do you have that smile plastered on your face? Did you pick up any money from the ground?

Ye Zhenzhen single-handedly opened the lid of the bottle and said with a smile, No.

Roommate:

She took a sip of the coke and said triumphantly, I'm just looking forward to the party tonight.

Tonight, she was going to watch a lively show.

Ye Zhenzhen was someone who understood her cousin very deeply.

If Fu Yanzhi didnt reply, then it would prove to be hopeless. But he actually replied with those three words. Thus she was 90% sure that he would come.

Thinking about it made Ye Zhenzhen feel a little giddy again.

It was such a coincidence.

Fu Yanzhi was not really busy today as he imagined and there was no unexpected work. By half-past six, he could leave work on time.

Lin Haoran was a little surprised to see him in the parking lot.

Not busy today?

Fu Yanzhi nodded.

Lin Haorans brows were raised as he said with a smile, Feeling good tonight, should we go out to eat together?

Not going.

Lin Haoran: No? Even though its been so long since we have eaten together?

He accused Fu Yanzhi, Could it be that what Xu Chengli said was true? That you are in the golden house with a mistress? Now you dont even eat with everyone.
