Chapter 479
She Is From The Countryside

479 inviting miss shi to be a guest
The meeting place for the class reunion was at the central square of the county, and there were a total of twenty people who could make it.
when shi yan arrived, there were already more than a dozen people sitting in the shade of the square.
the gifts needed to visit the teacher had been bought by the others. everyone split the cost, including the cost of dinner later and the KTV. each personâs head was 300 yuan, with a refund.
Seeing Shi Yan come over, more than ten pairs of eyes looked at her.
There were not many people who could remain as calm as Shi Yan in the face of such attention. Many people sighed in their hearts.
As expected of Shi Yan, she was as calm as ever.
as shi yan approached, li yanyan said, â âeh? shi yan, why are you alone? Whereâs your boyfriend? didnât she come with you? donât tell me you didnât bring your boyfriend along because you couldnât bear to pay the 300 yuan for the party?â
when the news that shi yan had a boyfriend came out, many people present sighed.
of course, there were also people who were disappointed.
âli yanyan, i donât understand. which part of shi yan looks like someone who lacks three hundred yuan? Itâs her freedom to bring her boyfriend or not, why are you so nosy? shi yan, why donât you bring a boyfriend? Are you making fun of Shi Yan because you canât find a boyfriend?â
It was too obvious that Song Yu was speaking up for her. It was hard for Shi Yan to ignore it.
in fact, they really werenât that close.
âSong Yu, why do you always twist my words? i just saw shi yan walking around the school with her boyfriend this morning. now that sheâs alone, iâm just curious and asked her. donât overthink it. â
âthank you for your concern, but he canât make it.â
anyone with eyes could tell that shi yanâs âthank you for your concernâ was directed at song yu.
Song Yu even raised his eyebrows and said, â âYouâre welcome,â
âcome over and sit. there are still a few students who havenât arrived yet. As for those who feel uncomfortable if they donât gossip about other peopleâs private affairs, you donât have to care about them at all. Let them talk to themselves there.â song yu called shi yan.
Li Yanyan was furious.
She wanted to speak again, but the girl beside her quickly stopped her. â weâre all classmates. this is the first gathering after graduation. donât make the atmosphere too stiff. otherwise, as the class monitor, no one will care if you organize another gathering next time. youâll be very embarrassed, unless you donât organize any more gatherings in the future. â
it was impossible not to organize them.
She wanted to get close to Wan Yi through the party! she also liked to organize activities as a class committee member, which made her feel like a leader.
shi yan sat down on the bench that song yu was sitting on.
As soon as she sat down, Song Yu approached her and whispered, â âWhy are you the only one here? i can see that you and your boyfriend have a good relationship. he doesnât seem like the kind of person who would let you come to the party alone.â
with their relationship, this question was actually a little out of line.
Song Yu didnât seem to be such an unruly person.
Shi Yan looked at her and didnât answer.
â hey, donât misunderstand. iâm different from li yanyan. iâm not here to pry into your private affairs. i just thought that since youâre so pretty, youâd come to the party alone. it wouldnât be good if you drank a little and got targeted. your boyfriend actually let you come by yourself. â
âI donât usually drink when Iâm outside.â Even if she did drink, she would have a limit. She would not get drunk and cause the situation to get out of control.
âEven if you donât drink, youâre so pretty. Isnât your boyfriend afraid that other people will target you? Itâs always been easy for things to go wrong at a class gathering.â
shi yan smiled and said,âmy boyfriend was right about one thing. i fell in love with his face at first sight.â Do you think any of us can surpass him in terms of looks?â
song yu shook his head decisively.
â thatâs it. my boyfriend has this much confidence. â
Song Yu was speechless.
after sizing shi yan up for a long time, she said,âShi Yan, I find that youâve changed a lot. In the past, when I talked to you, you would always say whatever came to mind and never waste words. But now, you can even joke with me. â
âIs it because youâre in love?â
âYes, I think so,â Shi Yan smiled.
âItâs pretty good.â said song yu.
I heard that youâve been admitted to a military school in the capital. Are you used to going there? â
song yu was really surprised that shi yan would take the initiative to ask about her.
âthereâs nothing to not get used to. iâm originally from the capital. i didnât have a guardian when something happened to my family, so my grandmother brought me back to school. i lived in the capital city before junior high school.â
There were no secrets in a small place. Just like how everyone knew that Shi Yan was an orphan, everyone knew that Song Yu had lived with her grandmother. Before her grandmother had brought her back, she had lived in a big city.
However, not many people knew which big city he lived in.
shi yan didnât pay much attention to other peopleâs affairs, so she didnât know much about them.
only now did he know that song yu was from the capital.
âmy grandmother passed away in my second year of high school. to me, it doesnât matter where i am.â
shi yan didnât know how to respond to her. given her relationship with song yu, it wasnât appropriate for her to say comforting words. after hesitating for a moment, she could only say,âas long as you live a good life, itâs the same everywhere.â
If it had been anyone else, they might have laughed and asked Shi Yan if she had personally experienced this. but song yu didnât. she didnât say a word.
She didnât seem to know that Shi Yanâs fate was similar to hers.
actually, Iâm very happy for you when I saw that youâre in a relationship and even brought a boyfriend home. At the same time, Iâm a little envious.
shi yan was puzzled.
Song Yu laughed. seeing you with your boyfriend makes me feel that itâs not bad to have someone to accompany you. I even want to fall in love.
âif thereâs a suitable person and you want to talk to him, thereâs no harm in talking.â
According to Shi Yanâs usual style of dealing with things, she usually wouldnât say much about this kind of thing. However, at this time, she inexplicably wanted to say something, but she couldnât explain why.
Song Yu stared at her for a few seconds and suddenly burst into laughter. She seemed very happy. I never thought that I would talk to you about this one day, and you would actually be willing to talk to me.
because of this, Iâll cover for you during the party later. You can drink without worry if you want to. I wonât let anyone take advantage of you. I promise to hand you over to your boyfriend in one piece.
Thereâs no need for âWufuâ.
When everyone had arrived, he would first pay a visit to his teacher.
There were too many people, so they didnât stay at the teacherâs house for too long. They left after sitting for a while.
before they left, the form teacher stopped shi yan and asked her about her situation at the new school. most of them asked her if she was adapting to school, if she was getting along well with her classmates, and told her not to be too stressed.
she could tell that the form teacher was very concerned about her, the dark horse.
Shi Yan didnât want to scare him, so she didnât mention that she had applied for a masterâs degree and PhD.
He gave a few simple answers, thanked her, and left.
The group of them went to the restaurant they had booked for dinner. After dinner, there was a second round. Shi Yan had not planned to go, but Jiang che did not call, so she followed.
jiang che had originally wanted to attend the gathering with her, but he had to drive back first because he had some work to deal with at the last minute. he said he would pick her up later.
Shi Yan said that she would not be attending the gathering and would accompany him back, but Jiang che did not agree.
KTV was nothing more than singing and drinking.
shi yan didnât sing or drink. she just sat in the corner and played with her phone while waiting for jiang cheâs call. from the moment they started eating in the restaurant, song yu had been sitting beside her. those who didnât know would think that they were very close, but in fact, they were just old classmates with an ordinary relationship.
Seeing that Shi Yan had stood up, he was clearly playing cards with the people next to him. Song Yu was the first to notice and stood up abruptly.âShi Yan, youâre leaving?â
âiâm going to the bathroom.â
there was a washroom in the private room, but there were people inside. shi yan wanted to go out for some fresh air and call jiang che to ask if he had come, so she simply went to the public washroom outside.
âiâll go with you.â
âno, you go ahead. iâll be back soon.â
song yu still seemed a little worried. seeing shi yanâs insistence, he said, â alright, call me if you need anything. you have my number. â
after coming out of the bathroom, shi yan stood in front of the tap to wash her hands.
Suddenly, she stopped washing her hands.
then, he continued to wash his hands unhurriedly. he even took a tissue paper from the side and slowly wiped his hands. he threw the tissue into the trash can and slowly turned around.
As soon as she turned around, she was blocked by five or six people who looked like bodyguards.
âMiss Shi Yan, our boss would like to see you.â
seeing shi yan walk out of the room, li yanyan, who wanted to cause trouble for her, and wan yi, who was worried about her, stopped in their tracks.
After a while, Wan Yi finally reacted. He wanted to go forward, but Li Yanyan stopped him.
Wan Yi, those people donât look simple. Are you looking for death by going there now? â
âlet go!â
âi wonât let go! i donât know who shi yan has offended. why did you go to your death? Weâre not even close to Shi Yan!â
âWeâre classmates, and we came out together. Itâs our responsibility to bring each and every one of us back in one piece! class monitor, donât forget that you are the one who organized this gathering. if something happens to shi yan, you and all of us who attended the gathering will have to bear the responsibility!â
when he said that, li yanyan was a little frightened.
even ... Even if we want to help, we canât just go there alone. We can go back to the private room and call a few more people or call the police. Isnât that more reliable? â
âgo back and call for help. iâll stay here and watch. donât be impulsive. those people didnât use violence on shi yan. weâre not sure what the situation is, so donât call the police for now.â
li yanyan hoped that something had really happened to shi yan, but she was afraid of taking responsibility. she cursed in a low voice as she ran in the direction of the private room.
wan yi still didnât listen and stood there waiting. he walked in the direction of shi yan.
âWhat are you guys doing? donât make things difficult for my classmate!â
âlittle student, this is none of your business. move aside!â A bodyguard raised his hand and pushed. Wan Yi was caught off guard and was pushed back two steps before he could stand up.
It also gave him a better understanding of these peopleâs strength.
These people were all martial artists! They were not ordinary bodyguards!
shi yan also saw wan yi and frowned slightly. â âDonât be meddlesome, Wanyi.â
it was a very light look, but wan yi was inexplicably intimidated. he subconsciously took a few steps back and stood aside.
âit seems that your boss has been planning this for a long time, especially when the fifth lord jiang isnât with me. However, since your boss has the ability to send fifth Lord Jiang away from me, donât you know that you canât stop me with just a few people?â
li yanyan called her classmates over and happened to hear shi yanâs words.
