[Ordinary Girl] My boyfriend's brothers are all very curious about me.

It was snowing again outside. Lin Su hadn't planned to go out, but someone had asked her to meet them, so she had no choice but to go out bundled up.

Shao Huaizhi waited for her at the restaurant entrance. From afar, he saw a figure wrapped up like a ball. Compared to her, his long brown trench coat was disheveled in the wind, as if he was prioritizing style over warmth.

He rarely wears down jackets, since there's heating everywhere in winter; he just wanted to wait for her at the door today.

Lin Su slowly walked up to him. A thin layer of snow had already settled on his shoulders. He cleared his throat before speaking, "Let's go inside."

They sat down at a two-person table by the window. Shao Huaizhi took out a house purchase contract. He planned to buy the house in Shuijun Bay first and then transfer it to Zong Yan.

In this way, Zongyan would not know who the previous owner of the house was.

Lin Su originally intended to return the house directly to Zong Yan, but Shao Huaizhi offered to buy it. After thinking about it, she didn't refuse, since they were indeed very wealthy.

But after selling the house, isn't she a little too rich?

Lin Su glanced at the string of zeros on the contract, her eyes flashed, and then she signed her name on it.

"The money will be transferred to your bank card in a few days." Shao Huaizhi took back the contract and put it into his bag.

"Mm." Lin Su nodded, thinking about the zeros, and sincerely said "Thank you."

"Are you living in Swan Bay now?" Shao Huaizhi looked up at her. "Are you scared to be alone? Why don't you move in with me?"

Lin Su shook her head and asked softly, "Can I ask you a question?"

"you say."

"If I don't want to be with you, will you stop me from studying at Kyoto University?"

Shao Huaizhi's eyes darkened. "You can refuse me for now. I'm willing to wait for you."

"What if you keep refusing?" Lin Su blinked. "Will you stop letting me go to school?"

"No." Shao Huaizhi's voice also deepened. He asked, puzzled, "Why?"

He felt that he was no worse than Zong Yan, and he had already tried his best to restrain himself from pressuring her, so she had plenty of time to consider who was more suitable for her.

"I don't think we're a good match." Lin Su breathed a sigh of relief when she heard him say "no," her voice soft. "You deserve better."

Hearing her coax him softly, Shao Huaizhi slightly tugged at the corner of his mouth, his tone blunt, "You don't like me."

Lin Su was surprised that he said it so directly, and her eyes widened a little. "No, you're so nice. I just don't plan to date before graduating from university."

Shao Huaizhi: "Not going to discuss it for at least three years?"

Lin Su nodded affirmatively.

Shao Huaizhi's expression softened, guessing that she was frightened by Zong Yan's matter, and that perhaps she wouldn't think that way after a while.

"Then let's continue to be friends," Shao Huaizhi said.

"OK."

After dinner, Shao Huaizhi's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and subconsciously looked at Lin Su across from him. Lin Su also saw the name on the caller ID at the same time.

It was Zong Yan.

Lin Su glanced at it once and then lowered her head.

Seeing that she didn't react much, Shao Huaizhi answered the phone without hesitation. It was quite lively on the other end of the line; Zong Yan was calling him to come out and have some fun.

Since he recovered from his injury, he has refused to go to work and spends his days playing with Sheng Qiming.

Sheng Qiming hasn't been in a good state these past few days either. He dragged Zong Yan to drink, and after drinking, he lay on the sofa and cried. Everyone knows he's heartbroken.

Shao Huaizhi first dropped Lin Su off at Swan Bay before driving to their clubhouse.

He pushed open the door to the designated private room, which was so crowded that he frowned before stepping inside and casually turned off the speakers.

As soon as the music stopped, the people inside noticed Shao Huaizhi. Some greeted him, while others, knowing he disliked crowds, waved their hands and took him away.

"Let's go, let's go play in the private room next door."

The group of people left in an instant, leaving only Sheng Qiming, who was drunk and slumped on the sofa, and Zong Yan, who was looking at his phone with his legs crossed.

"You really came? Perfect timing to coax this sentimental fool." Zong Yan pointed with some disdain at Sheng Qiming, who was slumped on the sofa. "He's already cried in front of me three times."

It wasn't like this before; two years have passed and I've suddenly become obsessed with love.

Shao Huaizhi knew without a doubt that Lin Su had rejected him as well, which made him feel a little better.

"Ignore him." After sitting down, Shao Huaizhi poured himself a glass of wine, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, meeting Zong Yan's somewhat surprised gaze.

"What's wrong with you now?" Zong Yan asked in surprise.

Shao Huaizhi dislikes crowds and drinking. He only comes once every few invitations, and each time he only drinks a little. He never makes the unusual move of pouring himself a glass of wine as soon as he sits down.

"It's nothing." Having drunk too much at once, Shao Huaizhi cleared his throat. "It's been a long time since I've had any. Give it a try."

Zong Yan didn't believe it at all. He joked, "You didn't break up with your boyfriend too, did you?"

Shao Huaizhi frowned. "No." How can you be heartbroken if you've never been in a relationship?

"Why is that?" Zong Yan always felt that they were hiding something from him, and he had this feeling every time they met.

"It's too cold outside, let's have some wine to warm up." Shao Huaizhi swirled his wine glass. "Would you like some?"

"I'll drink!" Sheng Qiming, who had been lounging on the sofa, suddenly sat up and reached out to snatch Shao Huaizhi's wine glass, but Shao Huaizhi stretched his arm back to prevent him from taking it.

Sheng Qiming missed his target. He slumped onto the table, pouting, "You won't even let me drink! You're all bullying me! I'm not playing with you anymore..."

"That's perfect, don't play games with me, go back to sleep," Zong Yan said.

Upon hearing his voice, Sheng Qiming snorted, "I'm not playing with you. You'll just hit me anyway when you remember, so you won't play with me anymore."

"What did you do that made me hit you?" Zong Yan didn't care. He had hit him many times since he was a child, but there was never a time when he really stopped playing with him.

"I...I won't tell you..." Sheng Qiming said arrogantly, "I just won't tell you."

Zong Yan snorted, "You think I want to hear that?"

Sheng Qiming fell silent. After a while, he started sobbing, "She rejected me again. She's rejected me eight hundred times already..."

Zong Yan's ears hurt from listening, so he gave Shao Huaizhi a look and said, "Hush him off."

Shao Huaizhi pretended not to see it and poured himself another glass of wine.

Zong Yan's lips twitched. What was going on?

When Shao Huaizhi was almost drunk, the busy He Zaizhou finally arrived late.

Zong Yan saw him as if he had seen a savior. He solemnly patted He Zaizhou on the shoulder and then slipped away.

Although he hadn't drunk any alcohol, he still smelled of it. Zong Yan thought he should go outside for some fresh air when a somewhat familiar figure suddenly walked past him.

He was a man wearing a blue sweater and black trousers.

Zong Yan thought the face looked familiar, but upon closer inspection, he realized he didn't recognize it.

They were probably people he met during the two years he lost his memory.

"What are you looking at?" He Zaizhou didn't even go into the private room; he turned around and followed him out.

The blue figure had already entered another private room. Zong Yan casually remarked, "It looks like I see someone I used to know."
