Kang Yuan was not only warm-hearted but also highly efficient. He quickly returned with Shi Ruan's phone, saying with a sense of accomplished duty, "Got it."

As the other party involved, Shi Ruan's smile was becoming stiff because when Kang Yuan was asking for contact information, he had pointed in her direction while introducing her to Bai Sheng.

When both men looked her way, Shi Ruan could only manage an awkward smile.

Since Kang Yuan meant well, Shi Ruan could only say, "Thank you, thank you."

She shot Shi Li a fierce glare, blaming that silly girl for speaking carelessly and causing this misunderstanding.

Shi Ruan tried hard to lower her head, reducing her presence, afraid that Bai Sheng might come over.

Fortunately, Bai Sheng didn't approach them. Before leaving, he politely bid farewell to everyone at the table.

Once he finally left, Shi Ruan let out a long sigh of relief. If there hadn't been outsiders at the table, she would have definitely given Shi Li a good scolding for being so mischievous.

Kang Yuan still wore his gentle smile and said, "Actually, I have many male classmates who are single."

Shi Ruan's eyes flickered.

Though she was quite interested, she still needed to maintain her image in front of others.

At this point, Shi Li jumped in, saying with a grin, "My sister is totally looks-oriented, she only wants handsome guys."

Shi Ruan playfully smacked Shi Li.

Under the direct gazes of Shi Li and Rongrong, Kang Yuan had no choice but to take out his phone and find a class photo.

He explained, "They don't like taking photos, only group shots."

As Shi Ruan casually glanced at the lit phone screen, she heard her sweet cousin say, "That's great, that's great. Rongrong, your brother is truly an unparalleled good person."

Receiving her sister's glance, Shi Ruan very politely asked, "You're so nice. Do you have a girlfriend? What kind of girls do you like?"

Kang Yuan declined with a smile, "That won't be necessary."

Shi Ruan hadn't actually awakened any matchmaking instincts; she was just being courteous. Since Kang Yuan said it wasn't necessary, she let it go.

Rongrong wasn't in the best mood today. What she had originally planned to do hadn't worked out, and instead, she discovered that Bai Sheng might have another side to him.

Shi Li didn't know about Rongrong's current mood. She had asked Shi Ruan to get Bai Sheng's contact information mainly to find an electronic pet for Shi Ruan, to help pass her boring life and prevent her from constantly bothering Shi Li.

Of course, there was another reason: she didn't know much about Bai Sheng and was very curious about him.

Shi Ruan thought: So I'm not human, you're just using me as a sacrifice.

The sky that had been covered in dark clouds just moments ago suddenly cleared within minutes, and a rainbow appeared in the blue sky.

After the hail stopped, people who had been taking shelter in the mall began to leave gradually.

The pace of life in Blue City was fast, and not everyone in the mall at this time was free from work and life pressures to go shopping on a workday.

Even Shi Ruan needed to return to work. She smiled and nodded to the others, "Now that the hail has stopped, my sister and I will head out first. I need to get back to work."

Shi Ruan dangled her car keys, "Are you heading back? I drove here, so I can give you a ride home or to school?"

Kang Yuan probably still had things to discuss with Rongrong, so he declined, "I drove here too, I'll take Rongrong back later."

"Alright then."

After they left, Rongrong stared at the two empty cups on the nearby table and smiled.

Kang Yuan curiously asked her, "What is it?"

Rongrong shook her head, "Nothing, just reminded me of a saying: a blessing in disguise."

Although according to her original plan, she should have had a wonderful encounter with that person today.

However, because of meeting Kang Yuan midway, the original plan was disrupted.

But who could say this was a bad thing?

In this world, until the very end, no one can predict whether something will turn out to be good or bad.

Whether Shi Ruan was busy chatting with Bai Sheng or occupied with the boys Kang Yuan introduced, she stopped bothering Shi Li to go on blind dates or accompany her on trips to nearby places.

Shi Li was temporarily liberated.

It wasn't clear if this liberation had an expiration date.

Shi Li cherished it, so she immediately packed up and returned to school.

After not seeing Shi Li for over half a month, and not hearing her thoughts or getting to gossip along with her inner monologue, their classmates found their lectures less engaging.

As they waited and waited, spring approached, and Shi Li returned with fresh gossip.

Shi Li didn't come back for studies; she returned to school thinking she could get closer to Feng Yunhe, do some things a villainess should do, or directly match him with Liang Rongrong.

However, after several days back, she hadn't seen Feng Yunhe at all.

Shi Li was puzzled, wondering if he knew she was planning something and was avoiding her.

Then Shi Li found out that Feng Yunhe wasn't avoiding her - something had happened to him.
