Chapter 293: Chapter 239: Her Name is Yiyi Chapter 293: Chapter 239: Her Name is Yiyi Inside the staff dormitory.
Chen Jieyu’s small home was styled in an ultra-minimalist fashion, with few pieces of furniture, creating a neat and simple overall look.
The WeChat message from Cheng Zhu struck directly at her heart.
She had casually mentioned her shoe size was 36.5, and he had remembered it.
This detail touched her, softening her heart.
Little did she know that even the size 36.5 was something Cheng Zhu had cleverly extracted from their conversation; she just hadn’t thought in that direction.
The reason Chen Jieyu initially wanted to refuse the gift was because it looked expensive.
It was similar to the way she had told Cheng Zhu that night that she did wish to repay him.
The two had indeed become intimate, but they had not… confirmed their relationship.
Her sensitivity, pride, and insecurity made her flustered the moment she received the gift, unsure of how to handle it.
Who knew Cheng Zhu had the knack to make you unable to refuse?
A simple sentence made her realize that he had put thought into it, that there was intention behind his actions.
For someone starved of love, this… was the most lethal!
At that moment, her phone rang again, bringing a distracted Chen Jieyu back to focus as she quickly picked it up.
As expected, it was another message from Cheng Zhu, “Have you tried them on? Do they fit?”
Some so-called luxury brands are a pain. The same size in the store can vary between different styles of shoes.
Some of them are annoyingly large, some annoyingly small.
This often complicates buying them from abroad.
When Cheng Zhu made the purchase, he had asked, and the salesgirl said this pair was relatively standard in size.
But whether the shoes fit well still needed to be tried on.
For him, first and foremost, the size 36.5 had to be right!
Holding her phone, Chen Jieyu hesitated for quite a while before replying, “I haven’t opened it yet.”
“You don’t seem very excited about the gift, you haven’t rushed to open it,” typed Cheng Zhu.
“It’s not because of that.”
“Sigh, you’re kind of dampening my enthusiasm here, why don’t you hurry up and open it?”
Chen Jieyu then put down her phone, opened the shopping bag, and then the box.
The shoes were the currently trending white sneakers, which Cheng Zhu knew well were just beginning to become fashionable. They were at the forefront of trends in 2014, and from 2015 to 2016, they would be even more popular and remain so for several years.
The design was simple, which in turn made them even more versatile.
She took off her slippers, put on the new shoes, and walked a few steps.
While walking, she didn’t tip-toe too much to avoid immediately creasing the shoes; she was very careful.
Many people are , exceptionally protective over something they treasure when they first get it.
Later, they return to normal.
The next time Chen Jieyu met with Cheng Zhu, she definitely planned to wear these shoes.
Before then, she wanted to keep them looking brand new.
After walking a few steps, she felt the shoes were slightly big, but she wasn’t wearing socks at the moment, so they should fit just right with socks on.
In the small living room, there was a movable full-length mirror.
She stood in front of the mirror, checking herself out and found that the shoes went well with a shirt, and she could just switch her pencil skirt for jeans.
She did own jeans, although she rarely wore them.
In fact, her naturally wide hips gave her a pear-shaped figure, which, if clad in slim-fit jeans, created a vibe no less appealing than that of a pencil skirt.
The afternoon sunlight filtered through the window, casting a warm autumn glow on the white shoes, as if dusting them with a layer of gold.
Was Chen Jieyu a Cinderella?
She didn’t have her own “glass slipper”.
But having a pair of white sneakers was also very, very nice.
Elsewhere, after leaving Chen Jieyu, Cheng Zhu headed to Building 212 in the Entrepreneurial Park.
He had circled around the area near the staff dormitory, familiarizing himself with the surroundings as a bit of advance scouting.
This place might become a frequent visit in the future.
I’m going to Chen Teacher’s staff dormitory to make up classes, is that a problem?
I’m her best guy friend, visiting her apartment, is that a problem?
I’m the project leader for her entrepreneurial guidance, having a discussion in her apartment, is that a problem?
–Not a problem at all.
When Cheng Zhu entered 212, Dong Dong and others were also there.
“Brother Zhu, what were you up to this morning?” Dong Dong asked as soon as he saw him.
“You actually skipped class for the first time!”
Yes, Cheng Zhu did have a class this morning.
He seldom skipped classes or took leaves.
On one hand, he genuinely wanted to learn more, and on the other hand, he wanted to make a good impression on the teachers.
Cheng Zhu glanced at him and thought to himself, “What was I doing this morning? I was sleeping with Chen Jieyu.”
And when a man sleeps holding a woman from the side, his hand usually rests in a particular spot.
“I’m starting to think you’re a bit too nosy,” Cheng Zhu teased Dong Dong.
Well, a godson managing his godfather, huh!
“No, no, we called your name during the roll call, hehe.”
Seems he was here to claim credit.
“Do you think just having your name called out does any good? I always sit in the front row, I stand out so much, the teachers recognize me. They just turn a blind eye,” shrugged Cheng Zhu.
Then, he turned to Liu Feng and joked, “Chuaner, feels like being in a relationship has changed your whole vibe!”
