Having been given a second chance at life, who would still want to pursue her?

The bread cart was moving at a steady speed.

Liu Neng drove very steadily.

The air conditioning in the car was just right.

Some old CDs were playing old songs.

"Hey, how's this song?"

They were getting closer to Pan Shuqi's house.

Chen Jianji felt increasingly frustrated.

Hearing Liu Neng's words, he rubbed his forehead and started chatting to distract himself.

"Yeah, but I prefer listening to English songs."

"Oh? That's so trendy?"

"Your English is very good, huh?"

"It's alright, not quite 100 points."

"Oh? That's impressive. How much is it?"

"Hmm, probably not even 30."

"Pfft... So, can you understand English songs?"

"I don't understand it, but it makes people think I'm sophisticated."

...

The two chatted casually.

In the end, it seemed that they had all lost interest in talking.

Chen Jianji looked up at the rearview mirror.

Regardless of what kind of wicked ideas the three people in the back seat had.

She's still a girl at heart, having been bored at school for so long.

Finally, I have a legitimate reason to catch my breath.

They all looked out the window and chattered amongst themselves.

Just listening to them chat made me feel younger.

Yes, it's not just Chan Kin-kei who has this feeling.

He was expressing his feelings on behalf of Liu Neng, who looked relaxed and content next door.

Look away.

Chen Jianji saw the two people sitting in the middle in the rearview mirror.

He turned his head to look at the two people outside the window in the opposite direction.

Zhang Xinyi's face was full of displeasure.

Lin Qingxue, on the other hand, remained expressionless, lost in thought.

The two are equally unlikable, but their personalities are at opposite extremes.

A person whose every thought is written all over their face.

Someone who keeps everything bottled up inside.

Of course, for Chan Kin-kei.

At least Zhang Xinyi responds and we can communicate, so she's easier to appease.

As for the latter...

Being ostracized is entirely self-inflicted.

Ding ding...

Suddenly.

Chen Jianji's phone rang.

He picked it up and took a look.

It was Pan Shuqi calling.

Chen Jianji swipes his hand to answer the call.

A somewhat lazy voice, tinged with complaint, came through.

"Why haven't you guys arrived yet?"

"The students who arrived earlier didn't eat; they've all gone home now."

Chen Jianji laughed.

"Um, there's a bit of traffic on the road."

Liu Neng, who was driving next to him, glanced at him.

Where is the traffic jam?

You guys have clearly been dawdling for far too long, okay?

Chen Jianji stared ahead with an unchanged expression.

"How about this, you call them back, and I'll treat everyone to dinner?"

"There's no need to trouble the auntie to cook at home, and it's more comfortable outside, so everyone can feel more at ease."

Upon hearing this, Pan Shuqi on the other end of the phone seemed to chuckle softly.

"With so many people, eating out must be quite expensive."

"Is your wallet bulging enough?"

Chen Jianji smiled.

"Relax, there's more than you can imagine."

"Yeah?"

Pan Shuqi on the other end of the line looked suspicious for a moment before speaking.

"Never mind, they've already left. Let's have dinner together, with the rest of you and me."

Chen Jianji hummed in agreement.

"It's near your house, right? I know a restaurant there, I'll send you the message."

"OK."

Until after I hung up the phone.

Chen Jianji finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If she's not at Pan Shuqi's house, then her elders aren't there either.

We're all students, so we can be much more relaxed when we're out.

And most importantly.

The control is in Chen Jianji's own hands.

At the dinner table, he would naturally sit far away from someone.

"Brother Liu, you know that Ruifeng Restaurant, right? Could you drop us off there?"

Liu Neng nodded: "Of course I know them. I've been driving in this county for several years, and I know all the restaurants, big and small."

"Hold on tight, I'm stepping on the gas, we'll be there around the corner."

As he finished speaking...

The bread truck suddenly accelerated.

......

At the entrance of Ruifeng Hotel.

The silver bread cart came to a smooth, clanging stop.

The car door opened.

Chen Jianji got out of the car and closed the passenger door.

Liu Neng waved to him.

"Hey classmate, come find me again next time!"

Chen Jianji waved his phone: "Don't worry, Brother Liu, I've already saved your number."

As he spoke, a smile crept across his face as he looked at the takoyaki in the storage box.

"My classmate Liu Yun also really likes to eat this."

Liu Neng chuckled: "Her? Well, she's not just that, she's good at everything... Ugh!"

But as soon as he said it, he came to his senses and his expression froze slightly, but the experienced man pretended to be fine.

"Oh, I see. That's great. Being able to eat is a blessing. I have to go out for a drive now, so I'll be going!"

Seeing that everyone behind him had gotten out of the car, Liu Neng stepped on the gas.

Buzz!

The engine roared.

The bread cart left quickly, as if it had been greased.

Chen Jianji then prepared to walk towards the hotel.

But then, a figure suddenly shoved him aside from behind with his shoulder.

After Chen Jianji stabilized the base, he turned his head to look.

Zhang Xinyi was looking at him with a displeased expression.

"What is it now, young lady?"

Chen Jianji looked somewhat helpless.

"Don't you get carsick?!"

"Why do you look so energetic standing here now?"

"Um?"

Chen Jianji was stunned.

What the hell?

So, the reason I had such a sour face the whole time was because of this?

Chen Jianji's mind raced almost 360 times in a mere 0.0001 seconds.

next second.

He clutched his head in pain.

"Ugh, damn it, I'm so dizzy! Is it because I've been holding back the dizziness all the way here that it's finally coming to an end?"

"puff!"

Wang Jiaqi and the other two couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Brother Ji, this is so fake."

Wang Shuxian whispered.

Even Zhang Xinyi's usually serious face couldn't help but want to laugh, but she forced herself to hold it in.

In the end, all I could do was glare at him before huffing and puffing as I strode away.

"Brother Ji, let's go in first. Shu Qi said she's already booked a private room inside."

As Wang Jiaqi spoke, the three of them walked forward one after another, brushing past her.

Until Wang Shuxian passed by at the very end.

Chen Jianji returned the glare that Zhang Xinyi had given him to Wang Shuxian.

"You lied to me, fine, but you just contradicted me?"

Wang Shuxian covered her mouth and chuckled, but didn't say anything, and jogged to catch up with Wang Jiaqi and the others.

Chen Jianji watched her retreating figure and couldn't help but sigh again.

"How could such a good girl end up like this? Zhao Yong, that bastard, he deserves to die..."

He muttered to himself and looked away.

Just as he was about to take a step, he noticed that there was still someone standing there, silently watching him.

It is Lin Qingxue.

But when Chen Jianji's gaze fell on her.

She moved away indifferently and walked forward expressionlessly.

Chen Jianji frowned.

He could sense that Lin Qingxue seemed somewhat angry.

But Chan Kin-kei no longer wanted to think about what she was angry about.

Anyway, it's none of his business.

Chen Jianji also started walking, and was the last to enter the restaurant.

I had just entered the door.

A lazy voice, tinged with a hint of mockery, rang out.

"Such a busy person, it's really hard to wait for him."

Chen Jianji looked over.

Pan Shuqi was seen leaning against the door.

She wasn't wearing her school uniform today; instead, she was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans.

Her already mature appearance and figure, combined with this outfit, made her look even more youthful and eye-catching, shedding all her immaturity.

"The traffic is really bad."

Chen Jianji said without changing his expression.

Pan Shuqi rolled her eyes at him.

"The food is served, let them eat first. Come with me for a moment, I..."

As she spoke, she slowly stood up.

"I have something to tell you."

As soon as he finished speaking...

The figure ahead, who hadn't gone far, paused almost imperceptibly.

Chan Kin-kei simply stared intently at Pan Shu-qi for a long while before nodding.

"it is good."

......
