Chapter 4, I do not wish to force you; I merely want you to see your own heart clearly

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

"Not just good..." Xi Zhi Yan revealed a charming smile, and as he looked at her, his eyes sparkled with warm, fragmented light. "It's absolutely fantastic! As long as the model performs well, your work is sure to shine on the runway."

Shen Bing furrowed her brows in confusion and instinctively asked, "What does it mean?"

"I, I..." Ji Shuqing was so flustered by his questioning that she furrowed her brows. In a moment of panic, she simply turned around and left, leaving him with just one sentence, "I don't know either!"

If it were in the past, Ji Shuqing would have undoubtedly accepted his gentle and indulgent gaze with complete composure. However, at this moment, she felt somewhat uneasy. After hesitating for a moment, she said: "Well, it's getting late, so I will go inside first..."

"Blazing Sun, wait for me!"

Then let us see how I will display my darker side said Xi Zhiyan as he patted her shoulder

A gentle breeze brushed by, bringing an inexplicable chill

Ji Shuqing knew that he was upset about what had just happened. When she was about to reach the door of her home, she hesitated for a moment and finally said cautiously, "Zhiyan, I don't have anything with that Zhuolieyang. Just now, being held by him was just an accident..."

His words immediately echoed in my ears: "Do not force yourself, do not let a piece of paper blind your eyes, you must broaden your perspective; when facing a piece of paper, you will never come up with a good design!"

Shuer's mood seems to be good today. Xizhiyan's lips curled slightly, and a hint of joy gleamed in his eyes.

What he said actually makes some sense.

After leaving the French restaurant, Zhuo Lieyang drove Shen Bing home. Sitting in the passenger seat, Shen Bing slightly turned her head to look at his sculpted, perfect profile, unable to help but reveal an expression of infatuation. However, he remained unresponsive, as if he was completely unaware of her gaze, or rather, he entirely disregarded her presence.

Although he made a request, his ability to agree when asked came as a pleasant surprise to Shen Bing. She immediately said, "I also know another good French restaurant. We can go to the other one."

Xi Zhiyan nodded and said, "Go in."

Perhaps, there are some things that he also needs to learn.

Why?

This has always been a scene that Ji Shuqing never tires of watching.

Xizi stopped and turned to look at her with deep and mysterious eyes under the dim light. His facial expression was somewhat blurred as he said, "Shuer, why do you need to explain to me?"

It's all the same. Zhuo Lieyang's response was concise and indifferent, without any hesitation.

She smiled and jogged up to him, blinking her clear eyes as she said, "It is truly a matter of great pride to have such an outstanding young man waiting for me here after class"

However, now he has a sense of crisis deep inside, as someone might want to take her away from him!

If there is nothing else, I will head home now, goodbye. The last two words were almost spoken by her in a rush.

Listening to her tactful and generous invitation, Zhuo Liyang suddenly recalled the scene when he first invited Ji Shuqing to dinner. At that time, his attitude, compared to Shen Bing's at this moment, was indeed quite different

"It was an inspiration that came to me suddenly last night, how is it? Not bad, right?" Ji Shuqing said with a smile, her face full of anticipation for his praise

Ji Shuqing suddenly broke free from his embrace, turned her head to look at him seriously and said: "A lifetime? Are you saying like siblings? Or like friends? Or like lovers..."

Ji Shuqing smiled helplessly and said: "If I stick to you for a lifetime, won't I never grow up and will only be your little follower?"

Comfortable breeze, gentle morning light, a young man in white on a bicycle, and a peaceful young girl sleeping against his back. This beautiful scene has made countless classmates envious...

The entries for this edition of the fashion design competition. Zhuo Lieyang finally responded to him in a normal conversational manner

Such a statement was something she had never encountered throughout her life. In her memory, Ziyuan had always been confident and composed, but seeing Ziyuan reveal a vulnerable side like this made her heart ache a little

"You only just found out?" Xi Zhi said as he embraced her, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. "If I don't treat you well, how could I have taken you away from them to play with me since you were little?"

As he walked out of the archive room, Zhuo Lieyang's lips still bore a faint curve, and his gait seemed to carry a hint of... cheerfulness

Watching her cheerful figure, Xi Zhi Yan felt a moment of daze at the corners of his mouth: Shu Er, is your design inspiration derived from that boy...

Shu Er is truly well-behaved

After the last class in the afternoon, Ji Shuqing quickly tidied up the textbooks on the desk and ran towards the classroom door, because today Zhiyan had one less class than her, and he had been waiting for her downstairs in the teaching building early.

Xi Zhiyan withdrew her gaze from Zhuo Lieyang and smiled gently at her, saying, "Alright"

"I am sorry, but I am not interested," Zhuo Lieyang said, making the atmosphere even more awkward

Xi Zhiyan shook his head

However, she detests him, loathes the black clothing he wears, despises the dark aura that emanates from him, resents how he intrudes into her world like a demon, stirring her emotions into chaos and turning her thoughts upside down

The famous restaurant on Jinghua Street is precisely the one he visited last time with Ji Shuqing

Due to having slept too little last night, Ji Shuqing sat behind him, yawned, and unknowingly fell asleep leaning against his back.

"Zhi Yan, you are truly beautiful, but perhaps a bit too pristine! You do not resemble a demon; rather, you resemble an immortal..." She gazed at Xi Zhi Yan, clearly speaking to him, yet it felt as though she were talking to herself, with a hint of sighing in her tone.

Moreover, not only did they listen attentively, but the results also seem quite impressive. They actually designed such a unique piece of work and completed these creations in just one night, which is truly astonishing

Then you will never grow up in your whole life, let me spoil you for a lifetime, take care of you for a lifetime! Xi Zhiyan responded seriously and sincerely, with a hint of anticipation in his expression, as if this was indeed a very happy thing.

Listening to the comments and discussions of the crowd, Shen Bing, standing in the corner, felt her whole body stiffen. Her beautiful face grew increasingly gloomy, and the anger in her eyes intensified.

We share similar desires.Zhuo Lieyang's lips curled slightly, and that smile gave off an indescribable sense of charm.

"What is it?" Ji Shuqing's tone was somewhat stiff, and her eyes revealed a hint of confusion and impatience

The administrator stared blankly at the person passing by, his eyes wide open, filled with a profound sense of confusion. Is this person... really the usually aloof and self-willed Zhuo Lieyang?

Today, a new design celebrity has emerged at the school, and everyone is astonished by your design. In just one day, Ji Shuqing's unique work has spread throughout the school, creating a sensation.

Of course, it is the demon! Do you think this is a television drama where only the righteous can emerge as the ultimate victor? The allure of the demon is the most powerful...

Zhuo Lieyang placed the cut steak into his mouth, chewing it leisurely. After finishing the steak, he elegantly picked up a glass of red wine and took a sip, then slowly said: "Well then, let's see who is faster."

Xi Zhiyan gazed at her sulking figure with deep and complex eyes. After lingering in place for a moment, he finally took a step forward and chased after her, tightly embracing her from behind.

She raised her hand and gently patted his hand, speaking softly: "Zhi Yan, how could you ever lose me? Ever since we were young, as long as you don't push me away, I will always stick by your side. Don't you find me annoying at all?"

Xi Zhiyan's lips were tinged with a smile as he reached out a hand, gently pinching her earlobe like he did when they were children, softly saying: "The kind that is closest for a lifetime"

Xi Zhiyan gasped and couldn't help but say: "Shu'er, how could a little girl like you design a work in this style? Where does your inspiration come from?"

The displeasure he exuded was too intense, causing Ji Shuqing and Xi Zhiyan, who were speaking face to face, to turn their heads in unison.

Returning to her own bedroom, she closed the door and let out a deep sigh

Ji Shuqing murmured, "To be honest, you might not even realize how much I depend on you..."

This time, Zhuo Lieyang did not allow her to walk away right in front of him as he had in the previous instances

As soon as Ji Shuqing's entry was displayed in the showcase, it immediately attracted a large number of students who came to observe, with astonished gazes and shocked screams, the atmosphere in the crowd instantly heightened

This feeling is truly quite unpleasant

She secretly tightened her grip on the knife and fork in her hands, trying to maintain a gracious smile on her face, and then looked at Zhuo Liyang and said: "Since you say we have similar goals, I will definitely work hard and not let you down"

Each participant's entry is based on a theme, from which a series of works is designed. Since there is a competition held once a year, many participants generally begin their preparations about a month before the competition starts, except for Ji Shuqing.

He has already picked up the knife and fork to cut the steak in front of him, while the steak she just cut for him is left untouched on the side

As she watched her figure disappear at the door, the smile and warmth on Xi Zhi Yan's face gradually faded, replaced by a sense of melancholy and concern

He pulled out sheet after sheet of manuscript paper from the file bag, gazing at her works one by one, and before he knew it, Zhuo Lieyang had raised the corners of his lips

"Do you think I am blind, or that I cannot recognize words?" Zhuo Lieyang cast a faint yet imposing glance at him

Ah? No, no, that is not what I meant. I will open it right away, right away! The administrator knows that it is useless to delay any further, so I have no choice but to take out the key and prepare to open the door. Even if I am scolded and reprimanded by the leadership, it is still better than provoking the person in front of me!

Shen Bing still unwilling to accept said: "Do you know that the inspiration for the design of my work in this competition comes from you? In a few days, we will officially start the runway show, and I believe no one is more suitable than you to be my model..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around to prepare to ride his bicycle, and Ji Shuqing also followed suit, ready to get on.

Ji Shuqing waved his arm away and said to him seriously: "Zhi Yan, I am not sick; I simply stayed up late last night to finish the design draft. Here, take a look."

Shu'er, why are your eyes so red? Did you not sleep well last night?

That ... ...

However, Zhuo Lieyang seemed not to have heard her speak; he merely furrowed his handsome brows and, after a moment of silence in place, he suddenly turned around and strode towards the classroom door.

Shen Bing made meticulous arrangements today, but he did not even let her finish speaking. She had no choice but to persistently follow him.

His voice was so gentle, flowing from her ear straight into her heart, so pleasant, so captivating, it made one tremble...

Xi Zhiyan's stiff body finally relaxed a little, but he still held her tightly: "Then promise me, will you stay by my side for a lifetime?"

I will just take a look; this is no longer your concern

Ji Shuqing urgently said: "Siblings, friends, and lovers are not the same!"

It was not until the bicycle suddenly braked that Ji Shuqing hazily woke up, only then realizing that she had actually fallen asleep while sitting on the bicycle. She instinctively touched the corner of her mouth, relieved that she had not drooled; otherwise, it would have been truly embarrassing for her.

Thank you for the compliment, if you like it, Classmate Zhuo can help me cast a vote on the competition's official website Her words were polite yet carried a strong sense of detachment

Although he disliked her in this manner, Zhuo Lieyang still said, "I will."

Hmm! Ji Shuqing smiled in response to him, then quickly turned around and ran away

Moreover, the design inspiration for this work is so familiar! ... It seems to be some things that she has overlooked ...

Xi Zhiyan looked at him, his originally gentle pupils resembling deep blue lakes, tranquil yet unfathomably profound

Shen Bing elegantly sliced the steak on her plate, while secretly glancing at the boy across from her, who appeared cool yet somewhat indifferent. Her heart raced as if a little deer were darting about inside her chest. She suppressed the excitement and nervousness within, smiling shyly as she pressed her lips together.

She shook her head; if one were to say that the inspiration came from that devil-like boy, it would undoubtedly be something she herself was unwilling to admit

Is that true?" Ji Shuqing broke into an excited smile, "Then we will have to see how you, as the model, perform next!"

I originally thought that my work would undoubtedly be the best, and that other works would not even qualify to be compared with it, but I never expected that a dark horse would emerge halfway through!

In my childhood, it may have been because I particularly enjoyed playing with you, relishing your laughter, your antics, and your playful pouts... Later on, I realized that it seems I can never be apart from you for a lifetime

Wait a moment

"Perhaps it is somewhat different," Xi Zhi said with deep emotion, "but I just want to keep you firmly by my side, not wanting anyone to take you away, especially that kid from today."

Xi Zhiyan smiled gently and said, "We have been together for over ten years; who else is more suitable than us?"

There are many things you do not know. Xi Zhiyan reached out and ruffled her hair, a confident smile curving at the corners of his mouth. "Shu'er, rest assured, I will definitely bring your hard-designed work to its utmost perfection"

Zhuo Lieyang stood up from his chair, just as he was about to say a few words to her, she had already walked past him, holding a book, without even glancing at him.

As Ji Shuqing stepped out of the teaching building, she caught sight of Xi Zhiyan in the sunset. The clean white shirt he wore was bathed in a layer of orange-yellow glow, making him appear elegant yet somewhat ethereal, noble yet exuding an extreme tenderness. The corners of his thin lips maintained a faint smile, like the spring breeze in March, capable of dispelling all the coldness and gloom in others' hearts

The melodious sound of music fills the air, while the romantic lavender blooms splendidly along the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the entire restaurant seems to be permeated with a faint floral fragrance

Ji Shuqing blinked her eyes, perhaps due to his serious tone, which made her feel an indescribable tension throughout her body. She said in a daze: "Because, because..."

Xi Zhiyan continued to murmur: "I am afraid that if one day you suddenly stop being attached to me, my world will become empty all at once..."

Throughout this day, Zhuo Lieyang appeared before her numerous times, yet she instinctively avoided him. She was afraid to get close to him, and she subconsciously tugged at Xi Zhiyan's arm, whispering, "Zhiyan, let's hurry and leave."

At this point, Xi Zhi Yan and Ji Shu Qing had no choice but to turn back again

Xi Zhiyan looked at Ji Shuqing, who walked out of the room holding a pile of manuscript papers, and couldn't help but furrow his brows

After a considerable amount of time, Shen Bing finally regained her composure. She organized her emotions and broke the silence and awkwardness by saying, "Um... may I ask you for a favor?"

Shen Bing suppressed the feeling of embarrassment in her heart and asked more nervously and cautiously, "Aren't you going to ask what kind of help I need from you?"

His voice, lacking confidence and slightly trembling, startled Ji Shuqing

At this moment, the entire city is bathed in a layer of orange-yellow glow from the setting sun, somewhat hazy and somewhat dreamlike

The administrator of the archives is a middle-aged man with considerable experience in the school, and he naturally recognizes the formidable figure before him. He approaches cautiously and says, "Zhuo, Young Master Zhuo, this is the archives..."

After finishing dinner and sincerely and patiently explaining the incident of returning home late to her parents, Ji Shuqing finally freed herself from her parents' relentless questioning

Zhuo Lieyang stepped forward to her, gazing at her and slowly said: "Your competition entry is outstanding"

However, she waited for a long time with her head down, and the other party did not respond. She could not help but lift her head and look at the boy across from her

Ji Shuqing was taken aback for a moment and said, "I was afraid you might misunderstand!"

"You have a dark side that I am unaware of?" Ji Shuqing exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening.

I will definitely give it my all

Zhuo Lieyang glanced at the steak she had placed on his plate, yet he did not reach for the knife and fork. He raised his head to look at her, his handsome face still revealing no signs of emotion, and asked directly: "Do you like me?"

However, Ji Shuqing said hesitantly, "I always feel that your temperament is too pure..."

Zhuo Lieyang, however, did not respond to her.

Shen Bing's entire body stiffened, her flushed cheeks instantly turned pale, and then they took on a slight bluish tint. She struggled to suppress the complex and turbulent emotions within her, took a deep breath, and forced a smile as she said: "It's okay, I will make you like me!"

Zhuo Lieyang recalled the designs he had seen in the archives today, his eyes flickered, and it seemed that a good idea had formed in his mind

I trust you. Xi Zhiyan's smile deepened, and his gaze became increasingly gentle

From childhood to adulthood, he has always been a person who remains calm and composed in the face of any situation, yet possesses great confidence. As for her, he indulges and spoils her without restraint, because he has always felt deep down that... this girl who likes to cling to him is exclusively his...

a high-end French restaurant

Upon seeing this work, I was reminded of a demon, a cold and sinister demon, which is truly captivating!

Don't you think this is a bit too dark? I still believe that Shen Bing's regal demeanor is more dignified and upright

Shen Bing quietly walked out of the teaching building and approached him. Following his gaze, she took a glance but did not notice anything unusual. She couldn't help but ask, "Lie Yang, what are you looking at?"

Shen Bing was taken aback for a moment, and after pondering for a while, she immediately understood the meaning behind his words. Her face turned pale once again: "Do you have someone you like? Who is she?"

Where does it come from

Ji Shuqing opened her bloodshot eyes and scrutinized the person before her. The morning light cast a faint halo on his handsome face, and even the way he furrowed his brows appeared to possess a unique charm, making him exceptionally attractive

This foolish woman has finally taken his words to heart

The administrator let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped aside. Zhuo Lieyang walked in without any courtesy and quickly found the file folder signed by "Ji Shuqing" among numerous documents and design works. The items displayed in the showcase were all copies, while the originals were stored in the archive room.

She had actually known Zhuo Lieyang for a long time, but Zhuo Lieyang always preferred to be solitary, following his own ways, and he had no interest in interacting with others. The number of people who could exchange a few words with him was extremely limited. However, just a few days ago, he suddenly approached her and asked if she was from the Fashion Design Department, what courses she had taken, and not only did he ask in detail, but he even suggested going to class with her!

"In conclusion, let us go."

As the sky grew darker, Ji Shuqing walked alongside Xi Zhiyan, stealing glances at the person beside her under the orange-yellow glow of the streetlights. The light cast a slanting illumination on his handsome face, half bright and half shadowed.

Xi Zhiyan listened to her words, feeling utterly perplexed. He instinctively reached out to touch her forehead and said, "Did you not sleep well yesterday, or do you have a fever?"

A small bicycle carries two people as they ride away, becoming increasingly blurred in the setting sun until they disappear completely

Ji Shuqing smiled at him one last time, then turned and jogged towards her home.

Around the same time, outside the archives room

Indeed. After staying up all night, Ji Shuqing couldn't help but yawn, her face displaying a lazy weariness

"Don't stay up late anymore, look at your dark circles, they're almost a national treasure now." Xi Zhiyan reached out and rubbed her lower eyelid with his finger

He is a demon! A demon!

A look of concern immediately appeared on her face: "Is there a problem? Is something wrong?"

These two characters suddenly flashed like a spark of inspiration in her mind

Indeed, the only ones capable of contending with the king are the demons

Then why are you afraid that I might misunderstand you?" Xi Zhi Yan continued to ask

Zhuo Lieyang turned his head and glanced at her lightly: "Is there something you need?"

Shen Bing's heart suddenly felt a bit anxious and tense, she wanted to say something to him, but she didn't know how to start. How could he be so calm while cutting the steak? Had he forgotten the question he had just asked her?

Ji Shuqing was taken aback: "Zhi Yan, why do I feel like you care about me even more than my parents do?"

Her inspiration comes from the domineering and arrogant qualities embodied by Zhuo Lieyang, but why does she feel that this dark style is more suitable for him

A little later, when the entire city is illuminated by bright lights, looking down from the window, the dense lights resemble a brilliant sea of stars

Xi Zhiyan turned around to look at her and smiled slightly: "Shu'er, we have arrived at school. You must be in a hurry to submit your design work now, right?"

Of course, I believe you!

Ji Shuqing jumped off her bicycle, holding the manuscript paper in her hands and smiled at him: "I will be there shortly"

Zhuo Lieyang stood rigidly in place, his black shirt billowing in the wind, while his jet-black short hair was tinged with a layer of desolate sheen in the setting sun, and his dark eyes were so deep that they seemed to conceal a mysterious world

The setting sun elongated his shadow, revealing a sense of solitude and detachment from the world

He trusts her, but he does not trust that person. The kind of sharp and domineering aura emanating from that individual is truly too dangerous

Just now, she was only focused on being angry and did not truly understand the meaning behind this sentence

Contest entry

The middle-aged man felt a chill run down his spine. He suppressed his inner tension and continued to speak cautiously: "What is inside are some competition entries and important documents, and entry is not permitted without authorization."

Of course! Ji Shuqing did not hide her good mood in the slightest

Zhuo Lieyang and Shen Bing sat at a window-side table, allowing them not only to experience the romantic and comfortable atmosphere of the restaurant but also to overlook the panoramic view of the city from a commanding height

A complex glimmer flashed in Ji Shuqing's gaze

She gathered her courage and carefully placed the steak she had cut into his bowl, then said somewhat shyly: "I think this flavor of steak is quite good, why don't you give it a try"

The next morning

Shen Bing, who was behind him, stood up and gently said: "Liyang, tonight we ... ... "

Just when she was feeling anxious in her heart, Zhuo Lieyang, while cutting his steak, spoke without raising his head: "But the one I like is not you"

Just as he made this perfectly natural gesture, Zhuo Lieyang happened to walk out of the teaching building. Upon witnessing this scene, a chilling and dark aura immediately erupted from his entire being, and in that instant, it felt as if the whole world had plunged into a sinister hell

Demon

The image of that cool and aloof young man, who followed his own path, immediately surfaced in Ji Shuqing's mind

Dining is acceptable, but we should change the restaurant

"One cannot enter casually, so should I just kick the door down?" Zhuo Lieyang raised an eyebrow, his voice devoid of any discernible emotion, yet it instilled a profound sense of fear in those who heard it

After a while, he finally replied to Shen Bing: "But I feel that your work is not quite suitable for me"

Shen Bing's face instantly turned completely pale

Oh! All the entries for this year are on the third shelf. I wonder how Mr. Zhuo could be interested in this year's entries? The administrator asked quite tactfully, ... what he was actually more anxious about was that this little ancestor should not cause any trouble for these entries.

Ji Shuqing sighed helplessly, unsure of how to respond to him, and simply said softly: "I have nothing to do with him..."

His indifference and aloofness momentarily stunned Shen Bing, who revealed a hint of a shy smile but could not help but say: "It is like this, I heard from a friend that a nice French restaurant has opened on Jinghua Street. I have made a reservation there. I wonder if you are free tonight to join me for dinner?"

His handsome face buried in her fragrant hair, feeling her breath and scent, his voice was low, almost a whisper: "I do not wish to force you, I only want you to see your own heart clearly, I am just too afraid... afraid of losing you"

Although she was already beautiful and very talented, and had never lacked admirers, it was something she had never dared to imagine that Zhuo Lieyang would take the initiative to approach her

Zhuo Lieyang stood expressionlessly at the door, while Anas circled around his legs. He looked at the administrator and coldly said, "Open the door."

Ji Shuqing felt a sense of panic in her heart, and she cautiously asked: "Zhiyan, do you really want that? Do you think I am... suitable for you?"

His mood at this moment is truly exceptionally pleasant

She excitedly presented her work to him as if offering a treasure

She stood by the door, the face of Xi Zhi Yan appearing in her mind, so gentle that she dared not think further. She closed her eyes, trying to brush away the images in her mind, but soon another face, coldly handsome to the point of being almost sinister, emerged.

Xi Zhiyan took the manuscript paper from her hands and began to examine it carefully, page by page. Each sheet of paper featured a design centered around the theme of black, embodying a dark and alluring style that exuded an air of mystery and profundity. At the same time, it radiated a captivating power that could seize one's very soul. Unconsciously, it drew the viewer's gaze, even subtly influencing the rhythm of their heartbeat.

Shen Bing never expected him to ask so directly, and her beautiful face instantly flushed with a rosy hue. She lowered her head and replied in a very soft voice: "Yes, yes..."

As his words fell, he suddenly stepped on the brake, and the car came to a stop by the roadside. He turned to the bewildered Shen Bing and said: "This is the bus stop; there should still be a bus to your home at this hour."

After the door to the archive room was opened, the administrator cautiously inquired, "I wonder what you, Young Master Zhuo, are looking for..."

Hmm. Xi Zhi Yan nodded slightly, looking at her still weary face, encouraging her by saying, "Shu Er, your hard work will surely yield good rewards."

Once her thoughts became clear, she immediately ran to her desk, took out paper and pen, and quickly sketched the images that flashed in her mind

Before Xi Zhiyan had even mounted the bicycle, she had already taken her seat on the back. Once Xi Zhiyan got on the bicycle, she immediately grabbed the corner of his shirt, and Xi Zhiyan habitually reminded her: "Be careful, sit steady"

At that moment, when Zhuo Lieyang was first treated as if he were air, his expression suddenly stiffened, and a layer of mist, colder than the night, surged in his pitch-black eyes. It felt as if something had tightly grasped his chest, causing a dull pain.

Shen Bing's heart was surging with unwilling emotions. She had always thought that Zhuo Lieyang was a cold-hearted youth. She could accept that he did not like anyone, but she could not accept that he liked someone else, rather than her, who was outstanding in every aspect!

So you just wanted me to keep you company? Ji Shuqing's tone seemed somewhat disappointed

The demon and the king are sworn enemies, and only the demon can contend with the king. Who do you think will win this time between the demon and the king...

It must be her illusion

Wow, this dark-themed design is so cool! It's exactly my style! I really want to see the guy wearing this black coat; he must look incredibly awesome...

A glimmer of astonishment and disbelief flashed in Xi Zhi Yan's eyes as he raised his head to look at Ji Shu Qing: "Did you design this?"

In French restaurants, the romance that lovers need is always in abundance

Thus, staying up late last night was indeed very worthwhile! Ji Shuqing naturally knew that her work had made quite an impact at school. After all, she was a young girl, and receiving such praise from so many people made her feel a sense of secret delight and pride.

After the two of them chatted and laughed for a while, Xi Zhi Yan rode his bicycle, taking Ji Shu Qing to school
