......

The group met at the school gate as agreed.

Since the shopping mall was not far from the school, Li Hengjie suggested taking the subway there.

He glanced at the parking lot not far away, a hint of envy in his voice, "Brother Sui, didn't you park your car at the school?"

"Yes, but there aren't enough seats for so many people."

Jiang Sui regretted driving the car into the school. If it had been parked at home, Yilian could have taken care of it.

"Senior brothers, could you please stop chatting here? Can't you talk as you walk?" Ye Meng urged.

Li Hengjie chuckled awkwardly, "Hehe, let's go, let's go~"

......

On the way to the subway station, Li Hengjie chatted more happily with Su Yao and the other two women.

The four walked ahead, while Jiang Sui and Jiang Yanci followed behind.

To be honest, Jiang Sui often felt awkward when she was with Jiang Yanci.

Because the other party was too cold, and Jiang Yanci was his senior, Jiang Sui didn't dare to say those flirtatious words to girls, for fear of offending them.

Who would have thought that someone who is an unattainable beauty in real life would also be an unattainable beauty online, only a "down-to-earth" version of that unattainable beauty, dancing all sorts of dances.

Jiang Yanci is really suited to remake those videos where the lips are slightly turned up, the face is cold and disgusted, but the body has to sway to the rhythm of the music.

At least Jiang Sui is very receptive to this approach.

"Sister Yanci, are there any things to be aware of at this party?" Seeing the four people in front of her chatting enthusiastically, Jiang Sui finally couldn't help but speak up and break the silence.

"Um...."

Be careful to decline invitations to dance.

Be careful not to eat anything given to you by strangers...

Beware of strangers asking for green bubbles...

Make sure you only look at me, only at me...

......

Jiang Yanci had many things to pay attention to.

But when it came to the point of speaking, all that remained was, "There's nothing particularly noteworthy."

"I see." Jiang Sui's tone gradually relaxed. "Sister Yanci, how many times have you attended this party?"

"The second time, I guess."

Jiang Yanci has only been working here for a year.

She initially thought it was just a temporary job, but now she is very grateful for this unexpected turn of events.

"Sister Yanci, haven't you thought about making friends at the party?"

"friend?"

"Well, normal friendships, or the kind of relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend." Driven by curiosity, Jiang Sui mainly wanted to ask about the second half of the sentence.

Jiang Yanci's qualifications are truly excellent, both in appearance and resume. Jiang Sui believes she must have high standards for her other half as well.

Of course, Jiang Sui also had another guess: that Jiang Yanci didn't like boys or girls and had absolutely no interest in romance.

"No, I'm not interested in that kind of thing."

"Ah, what are you not interested in? Making friends... or dating?" Jiang Sui couldn't help but blurt out her inner question.

Jiang Yanci turned her head and gave him a deep look, seemingly serious but also warning, "...Make friends."

Did Sui Sui go back to take a shower before...? She had a faint shower gel scent on her body.

I like it... I want to get a little closer.

"Oh, let's make friends." Jiang Sui licked her lips, thinking she might have been a little offensive with her question.

Although his doubts were resolved, he was even more confused.

What kind of person will Jiang Yanci be when she's in love? Cold and shy?

He found it hard to imagine Jiang Yanci showing a shy expression.

The two chatted idly, exchanging pleasantries intermittently. Although Jiang Yanci's tone was cold, he never managed to kill the conversation.

Moreover, she took advantage of this process to gradually move closer to Jiang Sui.

When they entered the subway station, the horizontal distance between her and Jiang Sui's shoulders was only the width of a fist.

If possible, Jiang Yanci would like this journey to be longer.

Their clothes would first rub against each other, then their arms would brush together, and then they would draw closer, their breaths mingling...

......

Xingyue Hanhai Mall is one of the largest shopping malls in Shanghai.

After a long journey, the group arrived at Xingyue Hanhai Mall. As soon as they stepped into the brightly lit lobby, they were greeted by a sense of exquisite luxury.

Li Hengjie pulled out his phone and said while looking at it, "There's a store that specializes in suits and formal wear on the fourth floor of this building. The reviews are pretty good, shall we go there?"

"Senior brother, it's rare for us to come out, we should definitely go shopping first." Su Yao turned her head, her gaze involuntarily glancing at Jiang Sui, but was intercepted by another extremely aggressive gaze.

Jiang Yanci was also looking at her.

His eyes looked no different from usual, but Su Yao could feel a chill in those dark eyes.

"Shopping is the most tiring thing." Li Hengjie waved his hand. "Since you guys aren't going, Sui Ge and I will go play some video games and then order some milk tea."

Their eyes met for a moment, then Su Yao looked away. "Aren't you tired of playing video games?"

"Yeah, you can ask Brother Sui if you don't believe me." Li Hengjie took a step back, stood on tiptoe, and put his arm around Jiang Sui's shoulder.

"Ah... well, then let's split up." Jiang Sui also felt that shopping was a hassle, both mentally and physically. "We can meet up on the fourth floor later."

He then realized that Jiang Yanci didn't seem to get along with Su Yao and the others, so he asked, "Sister Yanci, are you coming with us, or are you going shopping with them?"

"I happen to need to buy something at that store we just passed. If you're not in a hurry, I'll just turn around and take a look."

Jiang Yanci neither followed Jiang Sui nor Su Yao and the others.

The former is because there's a third wheel around, while the latter is simply because they dislike it.

I'd rather have some peace and quiet by myself for a while.

"Okay, let's meet in an hour then. Trying on clothes takes some time," Jiang Sui said, glancing at her watch. "Besides, the mall probably closes around 11 or 12."

......

The third floor is the main dining area of ​​the mall, where the air is filled with the aroma of various foods.

Li Hengjie originally said he was going to play video games, but as soon as he stepped into the third floor, his feet seemed to be glued to the ground, and he couldn't move.

"That pan-fried bun shop, the bottom is fried to a perfect golden brown, it's amazing!" Li Hengjie's eyes were shining as he pointed at the food models in the shop window and swallowed hard.

Jiang Sui smiled helplessly, "Didn't you say you were going to play video games? Didn't you eat dinner?"

"No, but the aroma here is just too strong... I can't resist it." Li Hengjie rubbed his hands together. "Brother Sui, what would you like to eat? It's on you."

"Alright, alright."

The two walked along the third-floor corridor, reviewing each of the popular snack shops and upscale restaurants.

Li Hengjie walked to the glass railing in the atrium on the third floor, put his hands on the railing, looked at the night view that stretched out before him, and let out a long, contented sigh.

"Awesome! This is what a weekend should feel like—no need to think about papers or spend time in the lab."

Jiang Sui also walked to the railing and leaned down slightly.

The view from the third floor is quite expansive. The night view of Shanghai unfolds before your eyes like a flowing, dazzling scroll.

Just to the right of the two people, across a wide main city road, stood a visually striking building.

It was a skyscraper that radiated a blend of deep blue and dark gold light, like a sharp sword piercing the sky.

The lower half of the building is shrouded in a mesmerizing water curtain of lights, while the upper half is hidden at the edge of the night clouds, exuding a sense of luxury.

At the top of the building, four large characters are inlaid in gilded lettering: "Cloud Top Feast".

"Hiss, this name..." Jiang Sui thought to himself, why does it sound so familiar? Isn't this one of the rewards the system gave him?

The manager who had previously been in charge had called him to report on some situations, but he had never actually visited the site in person.

"Genting Feast is probably one of the largest hotels in Shanghai. I ate there once with my dad. It's expensive, but the food is really delicious." Li Hengjie swallowed hard, smacked his lips, and joked, "It's like it's been given a makeover; you'll want to eat it again after you've had it."

"Your family must be quite powerful to be able to eat there, Xiaozhi," Jiang Sui said.

Li Hengjie shrugged and spread his hands, "That's because my dad has the ability, it has nothing to do with me."

"Oh, right, right," Jiang Sui replied casually, continuing to look at the building. "I feel the color tone of that water curtain light is too cool, and it doesn't coordinate well with the dark gold."

Li Hengjie: "....."

"Brother Sui, who would stand on the third floor of a shopping mall, across the street, and criticize the color scheme of a hotel's facade?"

"Haha, alright, you still want to play video games, let's go."
