Chapter 2, I want to develop into a romantic relationship with you and become the person you like

It seems as though a century has passed.

As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly turned and dashed out of the restaurant

As soon as I opened QQ, I heard the notification sound for a message

Ji Shuqing suddenly felt a bit anxious. Could it be that he is angry because she lied to him? The usually generous and gentle Zhiyan can occasionally be intolerant of even a grain of sand, as his emotions are sincere and delicate

Upon seeing these few words, Ji Shuqing could almost imagine Xi Zhiyan sighing lightly on the other side of the computer.

"Little girl, why are you still being so polite with me? In my eyes, you will always be the little girl who never grows up." Xi Zhiyan raised his hand and pinched her nose, his eyes revealing a gentle affection.

is a person who is a million times better than you

"It's that person named Zhuo Lieyang! Relying on a bit of family wealth, he acts as if he is above everyone else, showing no manners at all, doing whatever he pleases!" Ji Shuqing said seriously while holding his hand, "In the future, if you encounter that Zhuo Lieyang, you must keep your distance from him; he is just a lunatic!"

Then why can't I reach your mobile phone?

Seeing him still acting as if everything were perfectly normal and without any issues, Ji Shuqing was utterly speechless. She leaned back against the chair, her face displaying a look of complete dejection

Her tender lips trembled, like helpless petals swayed by the wind, and she felt her voice shaking: "What do you want to do?"

Which girl would not like a place like this

"Don't you like Anas very much?" Zhuo Liyang, in the driver's seat, turned his head and asked lightly

First kiss

The soft light gently fell upon Zhuo Lieyang, and after a moment of contemplation, he said: "I just feel that, given my appearance, my family background, and various other conditions, there are very few people in this world who can be compared to me. Why do you not choose me?"

He rendered her mobile phone unusable, so her returning the favor with a drink is still a bargain for him

She naturally felt both grateful and happy in her heart. Whenever she was feeling down or had something on her mind, in order to avoid worrying her parents, he would secretly climb in through the window and do everything he could to comfort her and make her happy

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the pressure of her hand grew heavier and heavier, until her lips became swollen and tears began to flow.

Zhuo Lieyang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why?"

He instinctively reached out his arm to gently embrace her petite figure, lowering his head slightly to scrutinize her closely, his gaze revealing obsession and affection

She instinctively covered her mouth, blocking him, and said with a pleasing smile: "Don't leave just yet, this CD was hard for you to find. Stay and listen to music with me, it's really good, really good. Please don't be angry with Shu'er."

Zhuo Lieyang simply replied to her, yet every gesture he made was unparalleled and captivating.

In this city, there is a leading enterprise that spans the globe—Zhuo's Group, whose total assets rank among the top in the world, wealthy enough to rival nations, and Zhuo Lieyang is the sole heir of this group

Ji Shuqing let out a sarcastic snort and said: "I’m sorry, how excellent you, Young Master Zhuo, are has nothing to do with me. The more outstanding you are, the more you should seek a girl of equal merit. I, Miss, cannot afford to climb that high!"

She lowered her head and hurriedly took out her phone from her bag, quickly searching for a phone number in her contacts. However, before she could press the dial button, the phone was snatched away by someone.

Ji Shuqing smiled at him with a giggle, but a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes. Xi Zhiyan glanced at her, said nothing more, and turned to leave with a smile.

Why are you such a bore? What exactly do you want?

Ji Shuqing watched helplessly as her phone flew out of the window, disappearing without a trace, but she could almost imagine its shattered remains.

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately turned around intending to leave quickly, but her hand was suddenly grasped by someone and then forcefully pulled back.

This habit began at the age of 5 and has been maintained until now

Looking at the girl in front of him, whose smile was brighter than the sun, Xi Zhi Yan felt as if his heart was about to melt. To earn such a smile from her, no amount of effort would be too much.

However, this idea was quickly dismissed by her

She lowered her head and looked at Anas, who was fiercely biting her skirt, and suddenly felt a sense of helplessness. She tried to pull her skirt out of its mouth, but after a few attempts, she gave up. The Tibetan mastiff's teeth were incredibly sharp, and her skirt was easier to tear in its mouth than paper. If she continued to struggle, the skirt might very well be torn into pieces.

In her childhood, Ji Shuqing was adept at using kisses to obtain what she desired, but the poor Xi Zhiyan was often troubled by the saliva on his face

He wishes to see her smile, for the moment she smiles seems to illuminate everything in the world

This time, he did not chase after it, while Anas was whimpering at his side, anxiously circling around...

This place is the favorite of lovers. Zhuo Lieyang gazed at her, in his dark pupils, nothing else could be contained except for her

Rest assured, I have not mistaken the person, nor have I brought you to the wrong place

What?" Ji Shuqing was momentarily at a loss.

Ji Shuqing reached out her hand intending to take the CD from him, but Xi Zhiyan quickly retracted his hand, preventing her from succeeding. He smiled at her and said: "You little girl, you say thank you to me, but when have you ever been polite to me? If you really want to thank me, what will you offer in return?"

No, how could I eat with that kind of freak? I escaped by myself

Did he just take you out to eat? After the meal, did he just let you go back?" He asked with concern

"Are you deliberately pretending to be foolish with me?" Ji Shuqing glared at him fiercely

No girl can resist such a romantic temptation

Zhuo Lieyang's exquisitely handsome face was smeared with a light green juice stain, yet he remained seated in a dignified and elegant manner, not even a flutter of his eyelashes. Silently, he picked up a tissue from the table and gently wiped the stain away bit by bit. Every movement of his was so graceful and charming, not forced, but emanating from his very essence. Even in this state, there was not a trace of disarray to be found on him.

"I have no interest in knowing your name!" Ji Shuqing said somewhat petulantly.

Zhuo Lieyang lifted the corners of his lips, hesitated for a moment and said: "You look beautiful when you smile, why don't you smile a little?"

Zhuo Lieyang, you are nothing but a scoundrel

First, have dinner

Who is the irritable miser

Once again, the method of acting cute proved effective. Ji Shuqing continued to press on, saying: "Moreover, you know that I am not in a good mood today. If you leave, I might start overthinking, and my mood will worsen. Could you stay with me a little longer..."

Zhuo Lieyang grasped the steering wheel and drove the car into a relatively open street, then turned his head again to look at her, his gaze seemingly studying something.

"Then I really have to thank you!" Ji Shuqing said with a displeased hum.

Zhuo Lieyang glanced at her phone screen and asked, "Who is Xi Zhiyan?"

Ji Shuqing recalled the scene at that time, being taken away? ... It seemed that she was dragged away by that fierce big dog, Anas ...

So you are aware that you offended her just now, and now you are taking the initiative to come over and ingratiate yourself with her

She began to wonder how there could be such peculiar individuals in the world. However, if it is this young master named Zhuo Lieyang, then there is nothing suspicious about it

Ji Shuqing angrily avoided it, then glared at it with disdain: "Don't touch me!"

She gritted her teeth and sent two words back: "None."

How could this happen? ... He merely wanted to have a meal with her ...

She suddenly stood up from her chair, walked around the table to stand in front of Zhuo Lieyang, clenched her fists, and glared at him in uncontrollable anger. She wanted to curse him out, but felt that no words could adequately describe his despicable actions

"Who said I was going to delete his number?" Zhuo Lieyang raised his eyebrows slightly and gently tossed his phone towards the window.

Listening to his guilty words, Ji Shuqing felt a sudden reduction in her discomfort, and a hint of warmth appeared at the corners of her mouth. She gently said: "Zhiyan, this is not your fault! You must not blame yourself; it's all that lunatic's fault for inexplicably saying he would take me out to eat! I finally managed to shake him off, and I don't even know what kind of bad luck I had today!"

As the words fell, Zhuo Lieyang had already taken her hand and pulled her into the restaurant

Upon hearing this, Ji Shuqing immediately broke into a joyful smile, unceremoniously took his hand and led him to the bedside, firmly pressing him down onto the bed. She then turned around to carefully retrieve the limited edition CD, placed it into the CD player, pressed the play button, and returned to sit beside Xi Zhi Yan, leaning against him at the edge of the bed.

My name is Zhuo Lieyang He repeated it once more

Ji Shuqing sat in the front passenger seat, while Anas crouched in the back seat, stretching his neck in an attempt to lick her with his tongue, his expression filled with a sense of servility

Fortunately, she corrected this flaw several years ago, but they occasionally still make similar jokes without any reservations

The most appealing clientele for this French restaurant consists of loving couples or individuals who are on the verge of becoming romantically involved.

"Dinner?" Ji Shuqing asked, feeling both annoyed and puzzled. "Your behavior is truly strange. We have only met once, and I don't even know your name. Why do you insist on dragging me to dinner? Do you have some ulterior motive?"

That night, no matter what she did, she could not calm her mind. Even lying in bed, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, so she simply got up and turned on the computer

The beautiful first kiss she had fantasized about countless times was unexpectedly snatched away and tarnished by this scoundrel

Ji Shuqing experienced the urge to hit someone for the first time in her life

Why? The words of the failed deception plan were filled with a hint of desolation in his eyes

Ji Shuqing was taken aback; he was not wrong. No matter what he did to her, she seemed to take it for granted. The words "thank you" were merely spoken lightly, and this was the first time he had asked her for a return favor

Although she felt somewhat surprised, she quickly began to think seriously, her small hand pinching her delicate chin, wearing a thoughtful expression

Just as she was walking and becoming somewhat dazed, a young man suddenly appeared in front of her, breathing slightly heavily, as if he had run a considerable distance

"Crazy?" Xi Zhiyan gently released her, looking at her with confusion as he asked, "Who is he?"

At this moment, she became somewhat flustered

Xi Zhiyan leaned in closer, once again bending down to bring his face near hers. In each other's pupils, their faces were clearly reflected, and a familiar scent enveloped both of them. However, gradually, a subtle feeling of ambiguity began to emerge.

Anas was taken aback, seemingly startled by her voice. He shrank his neck and sulkily lay on the back seat, no longer daring to provoke her

Aren't you the same?" Ji Shuqing playfully stuck out her tongue at him, rolling her shiny black eyes, "Who would have thought that the esteemed 'First Seat' of Zitong Academy on the very first day would actually be someone who loves to climb windows?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing..." She tried to suppress the turmoil in her heart and said with a smile, "See, I'm doing just fine now, aren't I?"

Zhuo Lieyang, however, seemed completely unaware of her dissatisfaction and continued to ask earnestly: "What do you like to eat?"

Oh. He simply responded with a sound.

She looked up in surprise, only to see Xi Zhi Yan's handsome face suddenly appear before her. His familiar eyes revealed concern, and his cheeks were slightly flushed, likely due to running for a long time

Suddenly, he kissed her lips

At this moment, Xi Zhi felt as if he had been struck on the head with a blunt object, leaving him quite frustrated. Despite his usual grace, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and reminded her, "Little girl, my first kiss has long been taken by you."

Why did he throw your phone? Xi Zhiyan's brows furrowed even tighter

However, I only remember you. A stubbornness shone through Xi Zhiyan's eyes

At this moment, there was no smile on his face, only worry and tension. He grasped her arms, anxiously examining her while asking, "Shu'er, where have you been? Is everything alright? I heard that you were forcibly taken away at the school gate. Did they do anything to you?"

Zhuo Lieyang? Xi Zhi's words made Junmei frown slightly. He had naturally heard of this name before, but it was precisely because he was already aware of this person that a hint of worry emerged in his heart

Her voice, combined with this grand gesture, instantly drew the attention of everyone in the restaurant, leaving them all in utter astonishment at the scene before them

After running frantically through several streets, Ji Shuqing finally slowed her pace, wandering aimlessly along the roadside, feeling as if everything that had just happened was merely a dream... a nightmare that lingered in her mind, yet she couldn't help but reach out to touch her own lips...

Fortunately, this kiss was limited to the mere touching of lips. Although Zhuo Lieyang was domineering and unreasonable, he seemed completely unaware of how to proceed to the next step, simply pressing his lips against hers quietly, gazing at her wide-open eyes

Thus, she unabashedly pulled Xi Zhi Yan to sit on the edge of the bed, her face filled with excitement and anticipation as she asked, "So what fun and interesting things did you bring me today? Or are you going to tell me jokes again..."

I really have no way to deal with you, little girl

Ji Shuqing's body stiffened slightly, and her delicate little face displayed a myriad of expressions in an instant. A hint of surprise flashed across her features, which was soon replaced by an incredibly radiant smile. She turned to Xi Zhiyan, who had just entered through the window, and said with a grin: "I am talking about myself, talking about myself!"

Seeing his gloomy expression, Ji Shuqing playfully pinched his cheek and said, "You cannot wrong me on this, you were so rosy and adorable when you were little that uncles and aunts who kissed you could line up from the south of the city to the north."

Ji Shuqing exerted great effort to suppress the emotions within her that were on the verge of roaring, and continued to glare at him, gritting her teeth as she asked: "Have you understood the meaning of being lovers by bringing me here?"

Even though her relationship with Ziyuan was quite good, she truly lacked the courage to tell him about being forcibly kissed by someone

Ji Shuqing was solely focused on enjoying the music, unaware that Xi Zhiyan had been gazing at her, as if everything around was merely to highlight her beauty

scoundrel

Roses of various colors almost covered the entire restaurant, yet they did not overwhelm the senses; under the soft lighting, they appeared beautifully dreamlike.

How dare he still ask why

She turned off the computer and paced anxiously in the room, feeling both annoyed and confused. Unable to help herself, she muttered to herself, "Xi Zhiyan, you irritable miser!"

Ji Shuqing's eyes turned, and she immediately said: "Stop the car now and let me get out, and I will laugh."

Ji Shuqing was taken aback for a moment, deliberately taking a step back, then looking him up and down with a strange expression, the corners of her lips curling with a suppressed smile: "You don't expect me to take responsibility, do you?"

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly fell silent, and even Anas, who was sitting in the back seat, did not dare to make a sound

They say that one only smiles the most beautifully and brilliantly in front of the person they like

The setting sun casts long shadows, and the lights are numerous.

Taken away before the age of three

He does not want to see her crying

Initially, Ji Shuqing struggled a few times, but when she was pulled to the entrance of the restaurant, her gaze was captivated by the interior design within.

"How can you be so heartless? I am only worried about you." Xi Zhiyan pretended to be annoyed and shot her a glare.

Seeing her pout and act cute, Xi Zhi Yan's previously cold and handsome face unconsciously softened again. He sighed and said, "You..."

Ji Shuqing sent him to the door. After changing his shoes, he straightened up and gazed at Ji Shuqing, his gentle eyes revealing a hint of unusual emotion. He said softly: "If anything happens, be sure to contact me in a timely manner. Also, keep your distance from that Zhuo Liyang in the future. If he bothers you again, you must inform me at the first opportunity."

Zhuo Lieyang parked his car in front of a French restaurant

As soon as one steps into this place, it is as if they have entered a European fairy tale, washing away all worries, leaving only the sweetest dreams in their hearts, with each step feeling light and airy

Xi Zhiyan's handsome face suddenly darkened, his emotions concealed in his eyes. He abruptly straightened up, walked past her to the desk behind her, placed the CD down, and then turned to walk towards the window

As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to leave

I cannot eat! You eat by yourself!

A face so perfect it is soul-stirring, beneath the densely curled lashes, the dark and elongated eyes reveal not a trace of emotion, and the slightly pursed lips are astonishingly perfect.

Looking at the cover of the CD, Ji Shuqing's eyes instantly brightened, and a brilliant smile blossomed on her delicate face: "The limited edition of the pianist! How did you manage to get it?"

She remembers that when she was very young, every time she saw an adult holding the candy she wanted, the adults insisted that she give them a kiss before they would give it to her. This led her to develop a habit; whenever she desired something, she would sweetly and skillfully approach her relatives for a kiss, naturally having done the same with her childhood elders.

"I know, Zhi Yan, thank you, but you don't need to worry about me. I am already over eighteen, and I've grown up," Ji Shu Qing said playfully sticking out her tongue

As she turned, her long black hair traced a graceful arc through the air

A faint, unknown scent of herbs wafted through the air, and at this moment, Ji Shuqing, who was originally troubled, found it somewhat comforting.

I will make you interested in me

Under his unabashed scrutiny, Ji Shuqing felt somewhat uncomfortable. She shot back with a fierce glare, "Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before?"

However, she moved her legs a bit, and then moved her legs again, yet no matter how she tried, she could not move at all

He did not answer her question, but instead, as if enchanted, leaned down and brought his face closer to hers

Ji Shuqing stared at him in a daze, then forced herself not to look at him, not even a casual glance

The scene from the afternoon suddenly flashed through Ji Shuqing's mind, causing her to instinctively press her lips together, feeling both shy and angry within her heart

Xi Zhiyan extended a finger to tap her nose, a hint of a helpless smile curling at the corners of his lips

Is this person the progenitor of narcissism

"If there is a reason, then he wouldn't be a freak!" Ji Shuqing said irritably, waving her hand and pouting in displeasure, "Forget it, let's not talk about him. Just mentioning that person makes me uncomfortable."

These words struck a chord with Ji Shuqing

When Zhuo Lieyang asked this question, Ji Shuqing had already been seduced and sat down face to face with him

Zhuo Lieyang" he said淡淡地开口

He is undoubtedly a child of destiny

I will think carefully

However, none of this could attract Ji Shuqing's attention. After getting out of the car, she immediately turned around and ran. After running less than three meters, a tall black figure blocked her path.

Then, QQ had no response for a long time, and Xi Zhi Yan did not send any more messages.

Ji Shuqing suddenly felt that something was amiss. Seeing him swipe twice on the screen, she immediately said: "Even if you delete his number, I still remember his number!"

Ji Shuqing contemplated his background for a while, and the carriage fell silent for a moment.

A trace of confusion surged in the depths of his pitch-black eyes, and there was a faint discomfort in his heart

Speaking of this, a surge of intense anger welled up in Ji Shuqing's heart, and she gritted her teeth and said: "It was broken by that freak!"

"You are at a great loss!" Ji Shuqing said almost without thinking, "It is not easy for you to find this limited edition CD. If I were to just kiss you and take your CD, I would feel guilty! Moreover, your first kiss would be taken away by me; don't you think it would be unfair to your girlfriend in the future?"

The beautiful and classic melody resonates melodiously in the room

Therefore, she can throw all her troubles at him, but she must never lie to him

This fellow truly does not rest until he has astonished with his words

Seeing his calm demeanor, Ji Shuqing couldn't help but be taken aback for a moment, and an unusual feeling suddenly arose in her heart, as if she had done something wrong

He could not help but lean down towards her, the closer he got, the more violently his heart raced, and an unprecedented sense of anticipation arose within him

This restaurant is one of the most famous in the city, with its primary factor of fame being its high prices, and the second factor being its romantic atmosphere

Little girl, you have lied

But she did not push him; he remained standing in place. Instead, she stumbled back a step, hurriedly steadying herself by holding onto the table, and then she continuously reached out to wipe her lips that had just been kissed by him.

As long as he agrees to stay and accompany her, her anger will surely dissipate

Although it was said with the intention of belittling him, at this moment in Ji Shuqing's eyes, Xi Zhiyan, who had spoiled and pampered her since childhood, was naturally much better than the person before her

Zhuo Lieyang remained calm as he sat in the chair, gazing at her with an expression that revealed no emotion, as if he had already seen through her that there was no other option but to sit down.

Is there anyone as excessive and arrogant as him? Who does he think he is? Does he really believe that she cannot do anything to him?

After Ji Shuqing returned to her bedroom, she sat alone at her desk, unable to calm her restless heart

She felt a sudden panic and urgently asked, "Hey, what are you doing with my phone?"

The moonlight quietly poured in through the window, and those dancing notes, like transparent veils, brushed against every cell of the body, akin to the whispers of a lover, reaching a state of exquisite beauty

A melodious sound drifted in through the window, accompanied by a gentle cool night breeze

However, Ji Shuqing did not notice his unusual demeanor at that moment. She stared at him intently, as if observing a work of art, and earnestly said: "Zhi Yan, you are truly beautiful! Your skin is so nice, even better than the girls in our class. And aren't your features a bit too exquisite? Even cosmetic surgery couldn't achieve something like this..."

However, this young master has a singularly troublesome issue—his eccentric personality, which makes him difficult to fathom. He often acts contrary to common sense, and countless individuals have tried various means to win his favor, only to end up with nothing but embarrassment.

This is still considered polite when I speak to you!" Ji Shuqing said to him with her last bit of patience, "Are you going to let me go or not? If you don't let me go, I will..."

Xi Zhiyan's handsome face revealed a hint of helplessness as he walked over and gently tapped the top of her head, saying: "You little rascal"

Ji Shuqing did not detect any hint of praise in his words. She turned her face to look at him and said, "Do you think I am selling smiles?"

Xi Zhiyan, whose nerves had been tense, finally let out a slight sigh of relief. However, feelings of self-blame and guilt surged forth. He could not help but stretch out his arms, tightly embracing Ji Shuqing, his melodious voice tinged with a few more husky notes than usual: "Shu'er, I am sorry! I will definitely not make you wait for me next time. If I had gone earlier, you might not have been taken away... Do you know that I was really scared today? If you had lost even a single hair, it would have broken my heart. I will definitely not make you wait for me next time. If I had gone earlier, you might not have been taken away... Do you know that I was really scared today? If you had lost even a single hair, it would have broken my heart..."

Ji Shuqing did not feel embarrassed; she raised her head and looked straight at Zhuo Liyang, saying expressionlessly: "I think you either have the wrong person or have brought me to the wrong place"

She vaguely felt that the calmer he was, the more dangerous it became. At that moment, it was best for her to seize the opportunity to escape. In the end, she coldly said to him: "Don't bother me again in the future"

But when she carefully examined the face before her, her troubled heart felt a sense of relief

"Then I will take the initiative," Zhuo Lieyang said, glancing at her.

This was the first time that he had not protected her well, and this feeling suddenly gave rise to an unprecedented sense of panic within him

Why

It is said that this young master, Zhuo, has been exceptionally gifted since childhood, excelling in everything he undertakes, having won prestigious awards in both architectural design and piano performance

Ji Shuqing closed her eyes, completely relaxed, immersed in the wonderful and comfortable music. The corners of her mouth involuntarily lifted slightly, and her thick, long curled eyelashes cast shadows on her fair skin, resembling two small fans, indescribably adorable

Ji Shuqing's round eyes widened in anger, and her delicate face was tinged with a faint blush due to her furious emotions, resembling a vibrant cherry blossom petal. Thus, even when she put on an angry expression, she still appeared endearing to others

I will not let it harm you. Zhuo Lieyang's voice was cold, yet it sounded very serious

Zhuo Lieyang's voice suddenly echoed in the silent carriage, even the drowsy Anas was jolted awake.

How can I make her laugh? This question is indeed quite... ...

It seems that the scent of that person still lingers there

"Why should I tell you?" Ji Shuqing turned her head away, not wanting to pay him any attention

Furious, she breathed heavily, and finally, disregarding everything, she picked up a glass of drink and splashed it onto Zhuo Lieyang.

"Zhuo Lieyang, are you out of your mind?" She completely lost patience with the person in front of her, immediately stood up from the chair, and glared at him angrily, "Who wants to be your lover? Who wants to like you? If someone loves you, go find them. Why are you looking for me? This is really absurd!"

At least it allows me to consider it. The flawless smile remained on Xi Zhiyan's handsome face

Do you like this place

She took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and sat down again with a heart full of indignation

Just as she was guessing with great enthusiasm, a CD appeared in Xi Zhiyan's hand as if by magic.

Zhuo Lieyang looked at the girl across from him, whose face was filled with anger, with unparalleled calmness, and quietly asked: "I just want to ask... what kind of person do you like?"

A slightly fruity and sweet flavor spreads across the lips

She opened it and found that it was a message from Zhiyan: "Shu'er, are you asleep?"

The scene from that afternoon always lingers in her mind, and that coldly handsome face occasionally appears before her, causing her to feel a sudden sense of panic.

Xi Zhiyan smiled and spoke very casually, but Ji Shuqing was well aware that she had also put in considerable effort to find this CD, yet in the end, she still could not locate it. He... must have invested even more thought and energy than she did

Ji Shuqing's face flushed slightly, resembling the pale pink of newly bloomed cherry blossoms. She made an effort to suppress the timidity in her heart and stared at him, asking in confusion: "Why did you bring me to this place?"

Zhuo Lieyang furrowed his brows and then asked, "What can I do to make you smile?"

Ji Shuqing shook off his hand, glaring at him fiercely with a pair of moist, red eyes, and angrily said: "Zhuo Lieyang, you madman! I hate you! I curse you!"

Zhuo Lieyang pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "This won't do, I must first take you out for a meal"

Oh, is that so? Zhuo Lieyang's eyes were calm and unperturbed, showing no signs of injury whatsoever; he merely glanced indifferently at the mobile phone in his hand

Because he accompanied Ji Shuqing home, neither Ji's father nor Ji's mother asked them why they returned so late. In the eyes of the elders, Xi Zhiyan was as trustworthy as family.

"You are quite confident, aren't you?" She felt both angry and amused, the corners of her lips curling into a slight mocking arc, and then she said, "However, let's wait and see!"

After Xi Zhiyan stayed at the Ji family and chatted with Ji Dad and Ji Mom for a few moments, he planned to leave

Zhuo Lieyang fixed his gaze on her, a faint glow emerging in his pitch-black eyes. He extended his cool fingers to gently glide across her cheek, wiping away the transparent tears on her skin, and then lowered his voice to say: "You look more beautiful when you smile."

She sighed and sent another message: "Zhi Yan, are you asleep?" Still no response, and the little penguin's image had turned gray.

Ji Shuqing furrowed her brows, feeling a hint of confusion. She opened her mouth to speak, but upon seeing his face, she found herself unable to say anything.

Ji Shuqing coldly curled the corner of her lips, her voice tinged with a hint of anger and mockery: "It just lunged at me trying to bite, and I was almost scared to death! How could I still dare to like it?"

However, when she calmed down and thought about it, she suddenly realized that the name Zhuo Lieyang was indeed well-known

Xi Zhiyan gazed at the familiar face before him. Although it still bore the same delicate and petite features, it had long since shed the innocence of childhood. The face now radiated a unique beauty of a young girl on the verge of blossoming. He watched in fascination, feeling an almost uncontrollable impulse rising within him

Ji Shuqing's face suddenly turned red, not out of embarrassment, but out of anger

I understand. Zhuo Lieyang paused and said, "I want to develop into a romantic relationship with you and become the person you like."

Ji Shuqing gradually calmed down from her initial surprise

Ji Shuqing regained her composure from a myriad of complex emotions and forcefully pushed him away with her hand

"Do you really have to speak to me this way?" Although it is a question, Zhuo Lieyang asked it quite calmly

This is certainly not a simple character

The melodious sound of the piano flows gently, like the clearest spring water gliding through the heart, like the most comfortable spring breeze brushing past the ears

Ji Shuqing waved her hand and said, "There is no need to consider it; this condition is one that you agree to, but I do not."

Although Xi Zhiyan has an exceptionally good temper, he has always had a particular aversion to others praising his beauty, especially in comparison to girls

A ripple suddenly stirred the calm lake of her heart, and she felt deeply moved. Looking at Xi Zhi Yan, she couldn't help but break into a sweet smile: "Zhi Yan, thank you."

In fact, as soon as Ji Shuqing finished speaking those words, she realized that she had made a mistake

What do you think

Ji Shuqing opened her eyes wide, forgetting to blink, forgetting to breathe, and even seemingly forgetting her heartbeat

Ji Shuqing stared blankly at the face before her, not daring to blink her eyes. A wave of unfamiliar aura enveloped her, causing her entire body to involuntarily tense up.

Zhuo Lieyang stood in a daze, watching her departing figure until she completely vanished from sight

She quickly replied to him: "No, I can't sleep."

As the water splashed out, she also exclaimed in anger.

What kind of person is this, after all

Ji Shuqing remembered that every time he returned from his morning run, his face would be flushed, and he always habitually lifted one corner of his lips to reveal a faint smile, exuding an indescribable charm

Put in more effort and search more, and you will naturally find it

Ji Shuqing blinked her clear eyes and looked at him, saying: "If you give me a kiss, will you give me the CD?"

Xi Zhiyan is a very understanding young man. He then gently said, "Alright, I will take you home to avoid worrying your uncle and aunt."

Ji Shuqing turned her head and glared at him, her eyes filled with anger yet tinged with a hint of suspicion.

Ji Shuqing's thick, long eyelashes fluttered like two small fans, and a flash of light glimmered in her dark, clear pupils. Her tender pink lips curled slightly as she said, "Zhuo Lieyang, listen carefully, I will never like you, no matter who I like."

After a moment, Xi Zhiyan sent another message: "Are you still thinking about what happened during the day?"

A familiar scent suddenly rushed towards me

She does not want him to worry about her

The air seems to have solidified

After hesitating for a moment, she sent two words: "None."

Xi Zhiyan suppressed a smile, slightly leaned forward, brought his face closer to hers, and revealed a charming smile: "How about giving me a kiss?"
