Chapter 118 Lively

Saintston probably got news from the Fu family so for the first time in history, students were allowed to submit proof in advance and leave the school for one night without delaying their studies. For these students studying in aristocratic schools, networking and communication were also an indispensable lesson in their growth.

The clothes that Shao Hang had bought indiscriminately before played a role at this time. Jian Chi didn’t think that at all, when he returned to the dormitory, he saw the familiar black gift box on the table, and even the accident was omitted. Just when he wanted to notify Shao Hang to come and take it away, Shao Hang sent a message as if he had installed a monitor in the room: This is the suit I bought last time, remember to put it on tomorrow night.

He tried on too many clothes that day, and Jian Chi was not sure if there was a white suit of this style in it. The clothes tag was cut off, and it happened to be his size. Jian Chi searched the Internet and found that there was indeed a branch of this brand in the mall he and Shao Hang went to that day. Jian Chi was also worried about what to wear. It was too extravagant to buy a suit for a dinner party. Before receiving this suit, Jian Chi wanted to ask Ji Huaisi if he still kept his from New Year’s Eve, the suit worn at the dance.

Just saved the trouble.

Jian Chi asked: Send me your bank account number.

Shao Hang: What do you want to do?

Jian Chi played a rogue for the first time: didn’t you say that what’s yours is also mine? Why can’t you even send an account number?

He originally just deliberately used Shao Hang’s own words to block him. He didn’t expect that Shao Hang really sent it in the next second. Jian Chi directly sent a sum of money to that account. Seeing the question mark sent by Shao Hang, he replied: This is rental pay for your suit.

For Shao Hang, a simple and crude approach was more effective than an explanation.

Shao Hang: .

Jian Chi backhanded back two periods, but Shao Hang sent three in the next second. When Jian Chi realized that he had played a whole page of boring solitaire with Shao Hang, he turned off HS.

Within half a minute, Shao Hang’s message re-lit the screen: Do you know the purpose of the Fu family’s banquet this time?

Jian Chi didn’t want to reply, but after a while he picked up his phone: I don’t know.

Shao Hang: You know.

Looking at the words with certainty and deep meaning, Jian Chi quit and set: Do Not Disturb for HS.

Then why ask him?

Adding to the upset.

When night fell, Jian Chi took Ji Huaisi’s car to the hotel where the dinner was held. In the car, Ji Huaisi noticed the white suit on Jian Chi’s body with a dark expression, “Why didn’t you wear the outfit I gave you?”

Jian Chi was stunned, “What outfit?”

His doubts made Ji Huaisi freeze slightly, then shook his head and said in a low voice, “Nothing,” and raised his lips lightly and slowly, “Who gave you this?”

The calmness between the words made Jian Chi feel a little strange, as if Ji Huaisi subconsciously knew the clothes belonged to another owner. “The last time Shao Hang bought it in the mall, it happened to be ready, so I rented it from him.” 

But Ji Huaisi didn’t express any doubts about Jian Chi’s explanation. He raised his arms and gestured to fix Jian Chi’s tie. He leaned very close to the side, but the movement of his hands slowly stopped. He stared straight at the skin of Jian Chi’s collarbone, then leaned back a little.

“What’s the matter?”

Ji Huaisi loosened his tie with his fingers and met the unsuspecting fair skin under Jian Chi’s neck, “Why didn’t you wear the jade pendant I gave you today?”

Jian Chi’s heart froze for a moment.

“I felt that jade doesn’t go well with the suit, so I took it off before going out,” Jian Chi replied cautiously, pretending to be relaxed, “and you can’t see anything when you button it up.”

“Really?” Ji Huaisi smiled lightly , “It doesn’t matter if you can’t see it, I just want to know that you are wearing it at all times.”

Jian Chi’s voice became quieter: “I will put it on when I go back.”

“Okay.”

How can I get the jade pendant back from Shen Shuting? Jian Chi spent the rest of the time thinking about this issue, and even thought of the possibility of sneaking into the BC dormitory in the middle of the night, but in the end he felt that he might be too unlucky, and dismissed it. He didn’t know if it was because he was thinking about Shen Shuting all the way, the first person Jian Chi saw after getting off the car was actually Shen Shuting. He got out of the car behind Ji Huaisi, his dark double-breasted suit lined his shoulders with smooth and straight lines, and a chain brooch in the style of a crown was embellished on his chest as always, looking gentlemanly and ingenious.

Shen Shuting’s eyes swept over the two and stayed on Jian Chi, then walked over. Jian Chi felt his hand being held a little tighter by Ji Huaisi, and heard Shen Shuting’s cold voice: “I ran into some trouble on my way to find you, so I came late.”

‘Some trouble’ made Jian Chi feel a little startled. The first thing that came to mind was that someone would cause trouble for Shen Shuting, and then felt that his palm was squeezed lightly. Ji Huaisi responded warmly: “That’s too bad. There is a car coming in from behind, Jian Chi and I will go in first.”

Jian Chi was dragged away, and the waiter in front of the door greeted them respectfully after confirming the invitation letter. Ji Huaisi nodded slightly, natural and skilled. Jian Chi next to him felt that Ji Huaisi’s light and touched him and secretly wanted to perform well no matter what, when a figure suddenly took over his side. He turned his head to look, it was Shen Shuting.

“What are you doing?”

Shen Shuting said: “Walking.”

Jian Chi: “…”

He couldn’t fault it, he really couldn’t stop Shen Shuting from walking, but everyone else came in and out in pairs, only they were three, walking side by side. Moreover, it was three men, it was difficult for such a match to be unobtrusive.

Ji Huaisi also noticed the presence of Shen Shuting next to Jian Chi, and the smile in his eyes was not strong, “Did you bring a female companion?”

“I only gave the invitation to one person,” Shen Shuting glanced at him, “he accepted someone else, so I came alone.”

Jian Chi clearly saw Ji Huaisi’s brow furrow slightly, and quickly changed the topic: “I haven’t seen Wen Chuan all day today, where is he?”

“He left school last night,” Ji Huaisi softened slightly, and tilted his head to explain to Jian Chi, “He is the protagonist of today, of course he must prepare well. Many of the guests today have long-term cooperation with the Fu family, Mr. Fu will not allow him to drop the chain at this time.” 

It sounded that even Ji Huaisi, an outsider, knew that Fu Zhenhao paid special attention to face, Jian Chi nodded in understanding, and Shen Shuting said coldly, “Didn’t Wen Chuan tell you?”

As if Wen Chuan should have told Jian Chi.

Every time Jian Chi heard Shen Shuting’s voice, his heart skipped a beat, especially in front of Ji Huaisi, so to not seem too nervous or alienated, “I only know that he will come. Today is so busy, where will he get the time to tell me in advance?”

He didn’t know whether he believed it or not, but Shen Shuting didn’t say anything anymore. Ji Huaisi looked at him, “I rarely hear you say so much before, it seems that today is an unusual day.”

“Depends on the person.” Shen Shuting’s answer was simple and powerful.

Jian Chi, who was caught in the middle, felt a surging undercurrent in the air. Outsiders seemed to think that it was three juniors who knew each other laughing and chatting, but Jian Chi felt that the two of them were saying some riddles that he didn’t understand at all. His eyes swept aimlessly in the huge and luxurious banquet arrangement, and suddenly stopped in one place.

Bai Xiyu was actually here too.

The next second, the man beside Bai Xiyu broke into Jian Chi’s sight, with a black suit, standing out in the crowd, neat short black hair, and a cold and deep face below. The moment he saw Bai Yinnian, Jian Chi had a bad hunch about what was going to happen tonight.

Bai Yinian’s sense was faster than he could dodge, and his eyes were like a hunter locking on a target. Their eyes met, Jian Chi subconsciously turned his head, and heard Ji Huaisi ask concernedly: “What’s the matter? “

“It’s nothing.”

Jian Chi, who avoided him, didn’t notice that Shen Shuting, who was looking at him from a distance, had a cold expression, and a familiar and sloppy voice suddenly inserted behind him: “It’s so lively, am I late? “

Compared with other people’s suits and leather shoes, Shao Hang’s dressing style can be called casual. He didn’t wear a tie, and the shirt had three buttons unbuttoned at the collar, which vaguely showed the outline of the chest muscles below, and his hair was more like a casual grab before going out. Although he looked messy and unruly everywhere, Shao Hang’s handsome face full of ruffian attitude was the capital, so no one would blame him no matter how arrogant he was.

The picture of Ji Huaisi and Shen Shuting standing together was already eye-catching enough, but the appearance of Shao Hang had attracted more people to look at them with surprise, and it seemed that they had a vague guess about the cooperative relationship between their families. Jian Chi felt a gap on all sides, and now there was only one side left that had not completely blocked up.

Today was indeed an unusual day.
