Chapter 118: Chapter 118 Shen Zhaozhao, Speak Nicely
From the small town to Jing City, it was over three hundred kilometers, and the high-speed train took more than two hours. Plus, it was her first time going to Jing City, yet they seemed quite at ease about it.
“When you get there, don’t go causing trouble,” Zhaozhao’s mother said as she sent her daughter into the station, not forgetting to remind her.
“Can’t you trust me a little? Am I the type to go looking for trouble?”
Usually, trouble found her.
Zhaozhao’s mother glanced at her daughter’s fair and obedient face. If she hadn’t been cleaning up her daughter’s messes her whole life, she might have believed her.
Perhaps because it was the start of the school season, the train was crowded. Stepping out of the high-speed train station, Shen Zhaozhao immediately took out her phone to call Qin Suxin, “Aunt Suxin, I’ve arrived.”
“Oh, Zhaozhao, I’ve sent Yi to pick you up. Do you see him?” Qin Suxin’s gentle voice came through the phone.
Shen Zhaozhao subconsciously lifted her head and looked around. People were coming and going, but she spotted the tall figure standing at the end of the crowd at first glance.
The young man wore a white shirt and black trousers, with one button undone, revealing his attractive neck. Above that was a face of extreme handsomeness, with dark eyes like ink wash painting, a sculptured nose, and deep features. Despite the beautiful and enchanting appearance, his presence exuded a cool air, as if he didn’t quite fit in with the crowd, drawing attention at a glance.
He stood amidst the play of light and shadow, making everyone else seem like mere background scenery.
After not seeing him for two years, her childhood friend had become even more devilishly charming.
Shen Zhaozhao blinked, and after a moment, she regained her composure and said, “Aunt Suxin, I see him.”
“That’s good. If you need anything, just go to Yi, and don’t be polite with him,” Qin Suxin said with a chuckle on the other end of the line.
“I know, thank you, Aunt Suxin. Don’t worry, I definitely won’t be polite with him.”
After the call ended, Shen Zhaozhao put away her phone, tousled her messy hair a bit, and dragged her suitcase over to that figure.
“Hey, handsome, waiting for someone? Take a look at me, do I look like the person you’re waiting for? Why don’t you just stop waiting—since you have to take someone home anyway, it might as well be me! How about I go home with you?”
The young man frowned slightly and glanced at her indifferently, “Shen Zhaozhao, speak properly, don’t be crazy!”
The expression on Shen Zhaozhao’s face momentarily looked as if she had eaten something disgusting.
Tsk, after such a long time, her childhood friend was still as cold as ever… no, his personality was as cold as ever.
But thinking of the dream she had that morning, she couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty.
She absolutely couldn’t let this guy know she was fantasizing about him!
“What are you thinking about?” Sheng Chuyi suddenly asked.
Having grown up together since they were kids, he sometimes could read her mind with just a glance.
Right now, as he looked at her obviously guilty little face, Sheng Chuyi couldn’t help but frown suspiciously.
“Nothing!” Worried that he would see through her, Shen Zhaozhao immediately straightened her expression.
Then she assessed him up and down.
She hadn’t noticed it before, but now, standing in front of him, she felt the overwhelming pressure emanating from him.
“Tsk, Sheng Chuyi, have you been taking growth hormones or something? You’ve gotten so tall?”
When they moved, it wasn’t so obvious that he was much taller than her.
But just two years apart, and this guy had shot up a whole head taller than her.
Sheng Chuyi lowered his eyes and glanced at her, “Shouldn’t you be the one to take them?”
Someone was still as blunt as ever in his speech.
