Thinking of how they come to talk to her every day, a hint of warmth inevitably seeped into her dark and lifeless eyes.
She softly responded, "Mm."
Could they be considered...friends?
She had never made friends before, and she didn’t know what it was like.
Upon seeing the smile in her eyes, Shi Yunshen was so shocked that he almost suspected it was the end of the world today.
"You actually made friends? Who are they? Are they reliable?"
He couldn’t believe that Yun Qiqi, who hadn’t known any other creatures besides the stray cats in the alley near her school and the Boss Lady selling cat food since coming out for a month, had actually made new friends in such a short time.
And it seemed like the number wasn’t small.
When asked who they were, Yun Qiqi tilted her head and seriously thought for several seconds.
Finally, she shook her head, "I don’t know."
She really didn’t know what they all did.
Except for Ji Ruofeng and that Young Master Mao who were still studying, the others didn’t seem to have jobs.
Shi Yunshen was stupefied that she was making friends so haphazardly?
No way, she wasn’t someone that easy to approach!
Having grown up with her, Shi Yunshen knew very well how hard it was to get close to her, especially to be friends with her.
When she was little, it was alright; back then she was a little sweetheart, cute and lovable. Even though she was somewhat afraid and resistant in the lab, what she hated was only the experiments and the Doctor conducting them.
In front of Assistant Jiang and him, she was a clingy and obedient little kid, and coupled with her doll-like appearance, many people in the lab liked her.
As she grew up, she gradually changed, becoming more and more reticent, slowly closing herself off.
Thinking of those times, Shi Yunshen squinted his eyes, hiding the expression in them.
He reminded her again, "Be careful when making friends. Places like bars can be really chaotic."
Yun Qiqi paused for a moment and then nodded seriously, "Mm."
She felt they were all good people.
She didn’t know why either, but she felt particularly close to them, as if they had played together before.
Even their way of speaking felt very familiar to her.
"If they really want to be your friends, I’d be happy. You should meet more people, but it’s better if you take me with you to have a look someday."
Shi Yunshen still had the thought of visiting her workplace.
Yun Qiqi didn’t want him to cause trouble, so she was too lazy to respond.
Standing up, she casually said, "I’m going to take a shower."
"Alright then," Shi Yunshen had no choice but to turn and leave. Before leaving, he asked, "The person who brought you back is also a friend?"
This time, the Young Girl paused for a while, then nodded, "Mm."
Although Shi Yunshen was still somewhat worried, he didn’t say anything further.
She really should be interacting with more people.
After all, he wasn’t too worried about her getting into trouble. Even though he was nominally there to protect her, unless she encountered something like an armed force with heavy weapons, she really didn’t need his protection under normal circumstances.
He just couldn’t help feeling uneasy about how quickly she made new friends, and in such a large group.
After Shi Yunshen left the room with a sour heart, Yun Qiqi turned and went to the bathroom to shower.
Standing in front of the mirror, the first thing she noticed was the fluffy little scarf around her neck.
She realized that the man who looked beautiful and cold actually had a very childish taste.
