Chapter 205 An Accidental Encounter with My Elder Brother
"I'm perfectly fine, nothing's wrong. I probably felt a bit like I was catching a cold yesterday, and I was too tired, so I took the day off." Xiao Jiu smiled a little embarrassedly at the three of them.
She didn't bring her phone yesterday, nor did she send them any messages to tell them that she had taken the day off, which made the three of them worry all day. It was all her fault.
"It's good that you're alright. We were worried about you at school. What would you do if something happened to you and you were home alone?" Meng Wanning and the other girl were also very worried about Jiu Jiu, but they didn't know where Jiu Jiu lived.
Xiao Jiu only took Shao Xingchu to her place. Neither of them knew where Jiu Jiu lived, so they couldn't do anything about it. They could only check on her through their phones.
"I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm in great health and rarely get sick." Xiao Jiu felt that she shouldn't get sick in this world. After all, she wasn't human, and the viruses in this world shouldn't be able to invade her body.
"Everyone says that, everyone says they're in great health, but you still need to take good care of yourself." Lu Shuhe pinched Xiao Jiu's cheek; her little face was so tender it looked like you could squeeze water out of it.
Lu Shuhe pinched Xiao Jiu's face, unable to put it down; her face was so tender.
"You've pinched it so nicely, I really want to pinch it too!" Meng Wanning watched Lu Shuhe pinch Xiao Jiu's face with envy; the face looked so good to pinch.
"Then you can pinch it too, I'll let you have it." Lu Shuhe released Xiao Jiu's face and gave her place to Meng Wanning. Meng Wanning took her place and pinched it. Just as she thought, it was incredibly smooth and tender.
"Look, look, you've pinched Jiu Jiu's face so red, stop pinching it now." Shao Xingchu pulled Jiu Jiu next to her and rubbed Jiu Jiu's red cheeks.
"Jiu Jiu's face is so tender. It's already red even though we haven't pinched it much. It looks so pitiful." Lu Shuhe looked at Xiao Jiu's red face and thought that they had been too rough.
"It really is very tender." Meng Wanning looked at her and reached out to rub her face. How tender her little face was! After being gently pinched a few times, it turned red.
"It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't hurt," Xiao Jiu said, brushing their hands off her face. It was just a little red, it didn't hurt.
After finishing their class, the four of them prepared to go out to find something to eat. Zhou Yanchuan was still thinking about how to create an opportunity to bump into the girl he liked. Unexpectedly, the two of them were so destined that they bumped into each other naturally.
Xiao Jiu, along with Shao Xingchu and the other two, were going to a newly opened nail salon in the Kerry Center to get their nails done. The Kerry Center was the largest shopping mall in the area, with not only luxury brand counters but also mid-range shopping areas, making it a popular destination for many students.
Zhou Yanchuan was passing by when he saw what looked like Jiu Jiu in his car. He thought he was seeing things, but he didn't want to miss it, so he got out of the car. Xiao Jiu and the other three walked into the mall hand in hand.
Zhou Yanchuan followed the familiar figure and confirmed that it was his beloved girl. He wondered how to greet her without seeming too abrupt.
Xiao Jiu wasn't too keen on getting her nails done, so the three of them chose their own styles. Xiao Jiu thought they'd wander around the neighborhood, and they were all quite at ease, knowing there were plenty of people in the mall and nothing dangerous would happen.
Besides, she's not a little kid. Getting her nails done takes too long, and she doesn't like it. There's no need to make her sit there. There are plenty of places to go outside. She has money and everything, so they feel at ease.
As soon as Xiao Jiu stepped out, she saw Zhou Yanchuan lingering in front of the nail salon. Zhou Yanchuan had been thinking about how to greet Jiu Jiu, but she suddenly opened the door and came out. He thought she probably didn't recognize him.
“Brother Zeyi?” Xiao Jiu had seen the photos Zhou Yanchuan sent her; she had a photographic memory, so how could she not recognize him?
Zhou Yanchuan forgot that he had sent Jiu Jiu his photo and thought she wouldn't remember sending it.
Zhou Yanchuan calmly responded to Jiu Jiu. He was dressed quite formally today because he had just finished get off work and was about to go home. He thought Jiu Jiu's clothes were quite nice.
"What a coincidence, are you alone?" Xiao Jiu noticed that Zhou Yanchuan was all alone here, dressed so formally, that he didn't seem like someone who came to the mall to shop, but rather someone who came to inspect work.
"Just got off work and was thinking of coming here to browse. What about you? Alone?" Zhou Yanchuan told a little lie. He had indeed just gotten off work, but he wouldn't come here to browse anything. As a grown man, nothing here appealed to him; his clothes were all custom-made.
I'll just cook it and deliver it to his place. Shopping is something girls usually like, or it's a guy who comes with his girlfriend. He's been single for so long, and apart from going shopping with his own mother, he basically never goes to the mall.
"We just got out of school too. I was with my sister, but they were getting their nails done inside, which I don't really like, so I decided to wander around by myself."
Xiao Jiu didn't think about why Zhou Yanchuan didn't look like someone who would go shopping in a mall, and why he was dressed so formally.
"Do you want me to come with you? I'm alone anyway." When Zhou Yanchuan heard the girl he liked say that she was going out for a walk by herself, he felt that his chance had come. What a great opportunity to be alone.
"Okay, are you hungry? Do you want me to go eat with you first?" Xiao Jiu thought that Zhou Yanchuan had just said that he had just gotten off work and probably hadn't eaten yet. Isn't it said that CEOs all have stomach problems? Although she didn't know if Brother Zeyi was a CEO, judging from the way he spent money in the live broadcast, he probably wasn't short of money.
People who make money usually don't have good stomachs. I can have a meal with him first, and it won't affect my later meal with my girlfriends.
"No need, I'm not hungry. Let's go for a walk together." Although Zhou Yanchuan really wanted to have dinner with Jiu Jiu, he thought that since she was with her friends, she would definitely have dinner with them later. If she ate with him now, she would have to have dinner with her friends again when they got back, which would make her a little uncomfortable.
Why not go out with her first, and then take her out to eat after her friends get their nails done? That way, I'll at least make an appearance in front of Jiu Jiu's friends.
It's often said that to win a girl's heart, you not only need to please her, but also her best friends. This way, you'll encounter fewer obstacles in the process.
"Okay then, let's go." Seeing that he said that, Xiao Jiu didn't try to persuade him anymore. Anyway, she had already asked him, and he wasn't eating, so maybe he wasn't hungry at the moment.
