Zhao Xuning: [There could be many.]
While they were chatting, two other people on the other side of the playground looked over, following the sounds of conversation and the gazes of the crowd.
Shen Siyan only noticed the flamboyant red dress and couldn't help but frown, asking, "Isn't she cold?"
Shen Hui smiled, her hands in the pockets of her brown trench coat. "Beautiful ladies aren't afraid of the cold."
Shen Siyan frowned as she watched, took off her scarf and wrapped it around Shen Hui's neck. "Second sister, we shouldn't follow her example. I feel cold just looking at her."
Shen Hui smiled helplessly, "You're so clueless, do you have a girlfriend yet?"
Shen Siyan frowned even more upon hearing this question. "Isn't studying my most important task right now? That way, I can quickly join the company and help my older sister. Otherwise, it will be difficult to schedule her wedding with Sister Gu."
“You’re overthinking things.” Shen Hui looked at him with concern. “The most important thing for a student is to have fun as long as they don’t fail any courses, and enjoy their youth and university life. Don’t be so rigid that you lose all your fun.”
"Sigh..." Shen Siyan let her words go in one ear and out the other. As she was looking around, she caught sight of a familiar figure.
After he exclaimed "Oh!", Shen Hui asked him, "What's wrong?"
Shen Siyan immediately stepped in front of her, her tone stiff, "It's nothing, he's just a piece of trash, don't worry about him."
“I saw it.” Shen Hui pushed him away. “I saw it a long time ago.”
Shen Siyan sighed, "Second sister, can't we just let ourselves off the hook? There's no future in dating."
Shen Hui glanced at him sideways, "I'm not in a relationship."
"There's no future in getting entangled with a jerk ex," Shen Siyan said. "The one Dad introduced you to is pretty good. He's intelligent, has high emotional intelligence, comes from a good family, and most importantly, has good character. Aren't you sure you don't want to consider him?"
Although Shen Siyan is the youngest brother in the family, he speaks with a mature tone and thinks a lot.
Perhaps because he has older sisters in the family, this younger brother's goal since childhood has been to protect his sisters.
And so he grew up to be this precocious.
Other people's high school life: studying, dating, skipping classes.
Shen Siyan's high school life: catching her older sister in a relationship and fighting off suitors for her.
Shen Hui looked at Zhao Xuning not far away. She was wearing a black trench coat, still in a very simple and plain outfit. Her long hair was tied up loosely, with stray hairs on both sides of her face. She guessed that her hair tie would fall off after a few steps.
This person is always like this; when tying their hair, they're always afraid of damaging it, so they only wrap it twice.
Zhao Xuning held her phone, leaning lightly against the school railing, which reached just to her waist.
Wearing gold-rimmed glasses made him look very old-fashioned, yet his posture was casual and relaxed.
A combination of asceticism and refinement with a touch of nonchalance is a rare quality that few can perfectly blend together.
Zhao Xuning was an outstanding one among them.
She seemed indifferent to everyone, her narrow, fox-like eyes hidden behind her glasses.
It felt like time had suddenly turned back many years, back when Zhao Xuning was in the same state at school.
Despite being a junior, she was incredibly arrogant.
Back then, she also liked to stand on the playground, leaning lightly against the railing, casually and leisurely watching people in the distance.
After they got together, Shen Hui asked her what she was looking at.
Zhao Xuning replied, "Look at my girlfriend."
Because Shen Hui liked to run on the playground at that time, she would run in the morning and evening. When she ran, she would always see Zhao Xuning and would be unconsciously attracted to him.
As long as she stands there, Shen Hui will only see her.
And the direction she was looking in was indeed Shen Hui.
In the morning sun, in the evening sun, in the misty haze, in the rosy clouds.
They had all experienced the Shen Hui that Zhao Xuning saw.
"Second sister!" Shen Siyan called out to her unhappily, "If you keep watching, you two will rekindle your old flame."
Shen Hui chuckled, "What are you worried about?"
"Of course I'm worried about you." Shen Siyan spoke with the air of an elder: "Have you forgotten how she treated you back then? You don't have to mention how she treated you, but when it comes to character, especially when it comes to the bottom line in a relationship, there's absolutely no room for negotiation, okay? I think you should go on more blind dates and meet more good Alphas, then you won't be blinded by this person. She's been lying to you."
"Oh dear." Shen Hui pinched his cheek. "How come my little brother talks so much? He's never even been in a relationship, yet he wants to teach his older sister how to date? Don't you understand that you have no right to speak if you haven't experienced it?"
Chen Siyan: "..."
This scene was particularly jarring to Zhao Xuning.
After she took a picture of Liang Shi and sent it to Xu Qingzhu, she saw Shen Hui standing there, with a boy wearing a blue jacket and jeans standing next to her.
It should be.
He looked very young, and there were some very intimate actions between Shen Hui and him, so their relationship must be more than just ordinary.
Is that Shen Huixin's new boyfriend?
Zhao Xuning gripped his phone tightly, his fingers turning white, and the veins on the back of his hand were clearly visible.
She wanted to go up and say hello, but she was afraid of hearing something unpleasant.
For example, that really is Shen Hui's current partner.
Zhao Xuning closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Just then, Zhao Ling finished work, and Liang Shi went to change clothes with his junior.
Looking at the photos on the camera, Zhao Ling couldn't help but sigh, "Sister Liang is really suited to be a model. She can handle any type of role. This shoot went so smoothly. Cousin, you really know how to find the right people. I'll treat you to lunch."
He had finished speaking but Zhao Xuning did not react. When he looked up, he found that Zhao Xuning was staring straight in another direction of the playground.
Following her gaze, Zhao Ling immediately frowned. "Oh my god, what a small world!"
Zhao Xuning snapped out of his daze. "You know him?"
Even the sound became muffled.
Zhao Ling nodded: "Cousin, don't you recognize him? Wasn't it because of him that you scolded me last time?"
Zhao Xuning asked in surprise, "When?"
“That phone call,” Zhao Ling said, “You told me not to cause trouble at school and not to bully anyone. Him, that tattletale, and isn’t that your beloved ex-girlfriend next to him? Haven’t you seen him?”
Zhao Xuning: "..."
Her tone rose an octave: "So, he is Shen Siyan?"
Zhao Ling nodded.
Liang Shi, who had just changed his clothes, stood behind them and asked in confusion, "Shen Siyan is a boy?"
Chapter 81
Liang Shi remembered that when Zhao Ling was dumped by his girlfriend at the entrance of the concert hall, his girlfriend said that she had fallen in love with Shen Siyan.
Anyone who hears this name would think it belongs to a girl.
It turned out... it was a man?
Zhao Ling noticed Liang Shi and Zhao Xuning's astonishment, and he was also bewildered. "So you didn't know before?"
Zhao Xuning shook his head, his gaze still fixed on that direction. "No."
Shen Hui and Shen Siyan had already walked far away, and she could only watch their backs from afar.
Liang Shi also looked over. Both the siblings had figures like clothes hangers. The sister was considered tall among Omegas, and the brother was a head taller than her, and he also had good taste in clothes.
Standing together, the handsome men and beautiful women are a striking sight.
Liang Shi patted Zhao Xuning on the shoulder to comfort him.
As a result, Zhao Xuning turned around, his eyes icy cold, like shards of ice in the dead of winter, and said, "Take it away."
Liang Shi: "?"
They don't recognize a kind heart.
She withdrew her hand, put it in her coat pocket, and continued chatting with Zhao Ling, "Which of his 'Si' and 'Yan' are they respectively? Is it the 'Yan' in 'rock'?"
Zhao Ling was still looking down at the finished product, quite satisfied, and replied to Liang Shi with a smile: "No, it's female Kaiyan."
“This name is so elegant,” Liang Shi said. “It’s also quite novel.”
"It's not surprising that this happened to him." Zhao Ling had a very bad relationship with him. After starting university, almost all the girls he liked went on to like Shen Siyan.
She's good at academics, good-looking, skilled at horseback riding, and also good at video games.
Most importantly: Go it alone.
This trait attracted many Omegas and Betas, and almost every beautiful one wanted to try, but they all ended up failing.
His legend still circulates among people of his age.
He was defeated by a beautiful senior student who was famous for getting A's as soon as he entered the university, and lost 50,000 yuan.
Because their stake was 50,000 yuan.
After this incident came to light, someone who had drunk too much teased Shen Siyan about it at a party, asking her what she thought.
Chen Siyan simply replied with two words: "Boring."
Everyone thought he was the most boring one, but Omegas just happened to love his type.
The enmity between Zhao Ling and him is irreconcilable.
Liang Shi's eyelids twitched upon hearing this, thinking to himself, what kind of grudge could a bunch of kids possibly have? But Zhao Ling uttered four words expressionlessly: "The grudge of having one's wife stolen."
Liang Shi: "..."
Suddenly I remembered what happened at the concert hall entrance that day.
It was truly an undeserved disaster for Shen Siyan.
Zhao Ling invited them to eat outside the school.
Because Zhao Xuning didn't really like the atmosphere of group meals, Zhao Ling let the younger students choose a place to eat, leaving only the three of them.
On the way to dinner, Zhao Ling started talking, "Chen Siyan is a really strange person. She's a sister-obsessed girl, a tattletale, and does everything in a sissy way. It's hard to believe she's an Alpha."
Zhao Xuning glanced at him sideways, "Does that give you the right to hit someone?"
