Summer Green Apples

Xi Wu Bu Wen Zhong: [I really underestimated you guys.]

CS: [?]

CS: [You're talking to me, not the other two. Why are you meddling so much?]

Xi Wu Bu Wen Zhong: [Can't I even be a little shocked?]

CS: [Shock is fine, just act the same as always. Anyway, I've already been urging them to prepare graduation gifts for you, and also gifts for our two-month anniversary.]

Ji Xiwen could hardly believe her eyes.

No bell tolls at midday by the stream: [?]

Xi Wu Bu Wen Zhong: [What gift?]

CS: [A gift for my college entrance exam, and also a gift for our two-month anniversary.]

Ji Xiwen: "..."

She remained silent for a long time.

Xi Wu Bu Wen Zhong: [They haven't broken off their friendship with you yet?]

CS: [? Who are you on?]

Young Master Chi once again launched into his angry, accusatory mode.

Ji Xiwen had no choice but to say, "I'm on your side."

CS: [I don't believe it.]

Ji Xiwen: "…………"

The graduation banquet was scheduled for August 8th.

The event took place at a restaurant in the county town. When the owner heard that this was the third-highest graduation banquet in the province, he immediately offered a 20% discount and hung a banner at the entrance.

Among the guests attending this event were people from the same village, teachers from Jixiwen Kindergarten, teachers, classmates, and parents from the primary school, middle school, and No. 2 Middle School, as well as several people from Pingcheng.

Zhang Qingyan and Luo Wenjing had said they would come long ago, and Cui Kai followed Zhang Qingyan here eagerly. When he arrived, Chi Sui and the others also came, and He Ran, worried about being isolated, also came along.

Chi arrived two days earlier than everyone else; he had booked a hotel.

Under Ji Mingli's cover, Ji Xiwen secretly took a car to the county town.

After finding Chi Suifa's hotel location, Ji Xiwen stood at the hotel entrance, looking up in silence.

This was the first time in her life that she had ever known there was such a high-end hotel in this small county town.

As expected of the young master.

When Ji Xiwen found the corresponding room number, the hotel room door was wide open.

Chi Sui stood at the door with his arms crossed, looking displeased, seemingly doing nothing.

The corridor was carpeted, which could block out most of the footsteps. Ji Xiwen still walked over quietly, tapped Chi Sui on the left shoulder, and quickly darted to the right.

But this person didn't play by the rules and cleverly turned right.

Their eyes met, and the displeasure on his face quickly faded, replaced by a smile that curled up at the corners of his lips.

His gaze slowly swept across Ji Xiwen's face.

She dyed her hair back to black, tied it in a ponytail, had a little sweat on her forehead, and stray hairs clung to her skin by her ears, but her eyes were still as bright as ever.

Ji Xiwen glanced inside and saw two cleaning staff cleaning the room.

"What happened?"

"There's a hair on the bed." Chi Sui felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.

He saw it as soon as he lifted the covers, called the front desk, and had a brand new set of sheets and duvet covers replaced, and the room also needed to be cleaned again.

"Oh, okay." Ji Xiwen understood.

The two stood quietly at the door, waiting for the two cleaners to start cleaning.

Because they were close enough, Ji Xiwen could clearly smell the faint fragrance on him.

She sniffed it; it was a very unfamiliar scent, a cold and eerie feeling.

"Did you change your shower gel?"

"Incense." Chi Sui's lips curled up, and he reached out and pinched her cheek.

It was warm, like kneading glutinous rice balls.

"Guess what it tastes like?"

Ji Xiwen frowned, took a deep breath, and said, "Lime?"

"no."

He said, "It's a green apple."
