Chapter 436
As he walked into the room, a few of his classmates started to whisper among each other.
The girls especially were busy gossiping about the rumor they heard a few days ago.
Tang Yin smiled when he saw that his friend had appeared. He walked over to Zhang Yi Hai and slapped his shoulder. “Big Boss, are you sure you wanted to do this? There are many of us. Are you sure you have enough money?”
Zhang Yi Hai flashed him a smile. “It’s alright. Just let them order what they want. Just, don’t tell them that it would be my treat.”
Tang Yin heaved a sigh. He really could not understand why Zhang Yi Hai refused to tell others that he would be treating them to this meal. Wouldn’t it be great if the others know that this classmate was very generous?
However, since Zhang Yi Hai did not want the others to know, of course, Tang Yin was not going to say a word. It was not easy to let him treat the whole class to a meal. Of course, Tang Yin hoped that this would not be the last time that Zhang Yi Hai would be this generous.
Tang Yin put his arms around Zhang Yi Hai’s shoulder and led him to the table.
A few girls were whispering among each other as they saw him. The rumor about him having a girlfriend was still a hot topic among them. Of course, there were a lot of them who hoped that the rumor was not true.
.....
The waiter walked into the room and started to take their order.
Then, the atmosphere in the room turned lively as everyone was chatting happily.
Zhang Yi Hai sat in the corner of the room while glancing at his phone once in a while.
According to what his girlfriend had told him, later, her parents were going to take her shopping around this district.
Zhang Yi Hai hoped that he would be able to run into them and find his way to leave with them.
The corner of his lips tilted up into a smile as he thought of his plan.
Zhang Yi Hai could already imagine Fang Su Jin’s reaction when she saw him later. But.. would she be angry that he chose to show up?
“Zhang Yi Hai, would you like a drink?”
His brow furrowed as someone stood beside him and blocked the light in front of him. Zhang Yi Hai looked up and saw that a girl was standing in front of him with a bright smile on her face.
Zhang Yi Hai seemed to remember that this girl’s name was Ji Xin Xin. The reason why he remembered her name was because she had been quite friendly to Fang Su Jin some time ago.
Then, a few days ago, Ji Xin Xin also showed up at his girlfriend’s art exhibition.
As their gazes met, the girl swiftly lowered her eyes shyly.
“I don’t need one.” Zhang Yi Hai lowered his gaze and focused on the phone in his hand.
The smile on Ji Xin Xin froze momentarily.
Although she was unhappy with Zhang Yi Hai’s cold attitude, Ji Xin Xin decided that she could not give up to get close to this young man.
A few days ago, Ji Xin Xin had also heard the rumors that Zhang Yi Hai might be in a relationship. It all began because of a plush toy he was seen carrying
Ji Xin Xin was angry. She thought that the news was too unreliable.
How can one think that Zhang Yi Hai was in a relationship just because he was seen holding a plush toy? If someone saw him holding a baby, would they think that he had become a young father?
It was too ridiculous.
However, this rumor also made her panic.
Ji Xin Xin had fallen for Zhang Yi Hai since the first time she saw him in class. In her opinion, Zhang Yi Hai was a bright student who she could not take her eyes off.
Years passed by and Ji Xin Xin realized that she might like him more than she thought.
However, she was a coward.
After witnessing how Zhang Yi Hai had rejected a girl’s confession, Ji Xin Xin did not have the confidence to express her feelings. Because of that, she had buried those feelings for years.
She wanted to get close to Zhang Yi Hai by being his friend, but it was too difficult. With the rumor that had surfaced a few days ago, Ji Xin Xin decided that before she heard it from Zhang Yi Hai or see him with that girl, she was not going to give up.
She inhaled a deep breath before forcing another smile. Ji Xin Xin was quick to figure out a topic that she could talk about with him.
“Zhang Yi Hai, the other day, Shen Wei and I visited Sister Fang’s exhibition.”
The moment he heard Ji Xin Xin’s words Zhang Yi Hai began to look up again.
Ji Xin Xin’s eyes lit up when she saw the change in his expression. She had a feeling that talking about the exhibition would gain his attention. It seemed that she was right.
“I saw her paintings,” Ji Xin Xin continued quickly before Zhang Yi Hai would look away and treated her coldly again. “Every single one is very beautiful. The colors were especially lively. I might not understand much about paintings, but Sister Fang’s paintings could really lift up someone’s mood.”
Hearing that someone was praising his girlfriend’s work made him very happy. Just like that, the corner of his lips tilted to a smile. “Thank you for your praise. I’ll tell my sister about your words. I’m sure that she would be happy.”
Ji Xin Xin froze and was unable to react.
This was the first time that she had seen Zhang Yi Hai smiling at her.
Ji Xin Xin’s heart was beating loudly and fast.
