Coincidentally, it was obviously Zhou Jinwen who complained, alright?
Ruan Zhi didn't even need to think to know that Zhou Jinwen must have exposed her whereabouts. Just ten minutes ago, Shanzhi was still saying that Prime Minister Zhou had asked for the address of their gathering.
"Ah Zhi, who is this handsome little brother?”Shanzhi winked at her lovey-dovey.
Ruan Zhi looked at Qi Zhan, who was standing beside her, and laughed dryly as she prepared to introduce him."This is mine…"
"Boyfriend, I'm Ah Zhi's boyfriend. Hello.”Qi Zhan was the first to cut her off and naturally nodded to everyone present.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
Shan Zhi was especially surprised." Ah Zhi, when did you have such a handsome boyfriend? Why didn't you tell me?!"”
"No, wait." Ruan Zhi didn't even react in time. She widened her eyes and looked at Qi Zhan." Qi Zhan, when did you become my boyfriend?”
Qi Zhan was slightly stunned. He then said," Yes, I'm indeed not Ah Zhi's boyfriend yet. To be precise, I'm still pursuing her."”
As soon as he finished speaking, it caused everyone to exclaim in ridicule.
Ruan Zhi's face heated up. She quickly got up and pulled Qi Zhan out of the dining room.
"Qi Zhan, what are you trying to do?”Ruan Zhi was really helpless.
"I think I've made myself clear." Qi Zhan did not avoid her gaze at all. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his expression was serious.
Ruan Zhi was slightly stunned and did not understand. She could not help but laugh."Qi Zhan, I think I should have made it very clear to you last time. Why? Do you think I'm still as easy to fool as before and want to play an ambiguous game with me again?”
"No." Qi Zhan let out a long sigh." Back then, I only said those words because of my damn self-esteem.”
"What do you mean?" Ruan Zhi could not react in time.
"I was angry at that time." Qi Zhan started to explain slowly, looking at her helplessly." Originally, on Valentine's Day, I was going to confess to you and then bring up the matter of the country with you. However, when you said that you wanted to stay in Qing Ning, it completely ruined my plans. At that time, I realized that you didn't plan for me in your future.”
"Ah Zhi, I'm not as calm as I look on the surface. I'll be disappointed and sad, and I'll let my imagination run wild, so I'm very afraid. I'm afraid that you'll reject me personally.”
At this point, Qi Zhan lowered his eyes slightly and paused for a moment before looking up at Ruan Zhi again. His gaze was firm and passionate."Although it's a few years too late now, I still have to say it. Ruan Zhi, I like you. I've liked you for a long, long time.”
Ruan Zhizhui was stunned. It was not that she was not shocked, but her eyes trembled slightly. She still took a step back and looked away guiltily. She smiled bitterly."Don't tease me. I don't have anything that you like at all. You're so outstanding, how could you…"
"Second year of high school. Ah Zhi, I've liked you since second year of high school. It's even earlier than when you knew me.”Qi Zhan turned her over and told her seriously.
Ruan Zhi was dumbfounded. She was so shocked that she couldn't say a word. She simply couldn't believe it. How could this be?
"From then on, I've been paying attention to you, but you didn't seem to notice me.”As he reminisced, Qi Zhan smiled helplessly."You probably don't know how outstanding you are.”
Ruan Zhi, who was completely stunned by this news, stammered a few times but couldn't say a word. She didn't know how she felt. In the four years of university, her crush on Qi Zhan was already difficult enough to endure, but now Qi Zhan actually said that he had already noticed her since the second year of high school…
It was as if their positions were reversed now, and she was the one who had the initiative in her hands.
For a moment, she didn't know how to answer. Her mind was muddled by Qi Zhan's words and she was in a daze. She couldn't make sense of anything.
At this moment, Qi Zhan said again,"I won't force you to make a decision now. I just want to tell you that I'm still here. I've always been waiting for you. If you don't agree, I'll wait until you agree.”
Ruan Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why did these words sound a little…shameless?
Perhaps seeing through her thoughts, Qi Zhan clenched his fist and coughed lightly."Jin Wen said that chasing girls should be more shameless.”
"Don't always listen to Zhou Jinwen's twisted logic.”Ruan Zhi pretended to be serious and made an excuse to leave.""Um, my friend is still waiting for me, so I'll go over first.”
Qi Zhan's brows did not relax. He pulled her back."You haven't answered me."
"Answer, answer what?" Ruan Zhi had to admit that at that moment, she was nervous and flustered. She was not much different from the little girl from five years ago. She had not improved at all.
Qi Zhan could clearly see that she was uncomfortable. With a smile in his eyes, he relaxed his grip and repeated with a deep smile,"Answer me if you want to be my girlfriend.”
Ruan Zhi pulled away and retreated to the side. She sighed softly and hesitated for a few seconds before answering,""Have you ever thought that we're actually not suitable? After five years, perhaps it was only because of an obsession from back then. Being together like this was irresponsible to both parties.”
"In this world, there are no two people who are completely suitable for each other. When two people are together, there will always be contradictions.”Qi Zhan replied gently and then stepped aside to make way."I understand what you mean. It's too sudden for me to tell you this. You need time to think about it. It's okay. You can think about it carefully.”
Ruan Zhi was surprised by Qi Zhan's compromise. Before she could say anything else, Qi Zhan had already turned around and left.
Because of Qi Zhan's sudden confession, Ruan Zhi was obviously a little distracted for the rest of the day. The words he said to her kept ringing in her mind.
But at the same time, Ruan Zhi felt as if she had knocked over a bottle of wine. She didn't know what to feel.
Qi Zhan's casual words suddenly overturned what she had known all these years. He told her that the problem that she had been brooding over for five years was just a misunderstanding. No one could accept it in a short time.
The misunderstanding had been cleared up by him. It was like the big stone that had been stuck in her heart had been gently removed. All her defenses were gone.
……
Ruan Zhi received Zhong Xin's call the next day.
The gist of it was that a few of their old classmates from Qing Ning were going to have a gathering and asked her if she wanted to go.
Ruan Zhi did not have a good relationship with Zhong Xin's circle of people. She rarely went to such gatherings. Zhong Xin usually did not call her, but this time, she did not know why she called her. However, she was not very curious, so she quickly declined.
Who knew that Zhong Xin would still insist on persuading her. Under her insistence, it turned out that the other party had ulterior motives and wanted to use her to ask Qi Zhan, Zhou Jinwen, and the others to go over together.
