Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Zhuang Yanru was very satisfied with Qin Qing’s words and felt a rare sense of affinity with her.

After school in the afternoon, Chi Shuyan didn’t expect Ji Mingshu to come looking for her. She had a very good impression of Ji Mingshu. It just so happened that Zhen Yu was there, and Yang Lan was on a date, so the three of them decided to go shopping.

Chi Shuyan actually had no interest in shopping, but Zhen Yu’s badgering wore her down. It just so happened that she had something to ask Zhen Yu, so she agreed.

At first, she was worried about the fact that Ji Mingshu and Zhen Yu didn’t know each other. Not long after, Chi Shuyan realized that she had been thinking too much. The two girls hit it off and quickly became fast friends.

Chi Shuyan lamented the friendship between women.

While they were shopping, she learned from Ji Mingshu that the latter was already with Yu Bo.

Zhen Yu was a gossipy person to begin with, and was very curious about how Ji Mingshu had gotten together with her boyfriend.

Ji Mingshu didn’t hide anything. She looked at Chi Shuyan with some gratitude and said that she had a crush on the department heartthrob at first, but got together with her childhood friend in the end.

Of course, if that incident hadn’t happened, Ji Mingshu felt that she would never have realized how much Yu Bo silently did for her, nor would she have given him a chance.

She deliberately avoided talking about the horrors of the incident as she didn’t want to scare Zhen Yu. Also, not many people truly believed in such things.

After they tried dating, the two of them unexpectedly hit it off. Although Yu Bo was average-looking, he was really good to her. Her parents had known Yu Bo for a long time. The two families were friends who knew each other well. When Ji Mingshu’s parents found out that she had accepted Yu Bo’s feelings, they even said that it was rare for her not to be blind.

Yu Bo was such a good kid.

Ji Mingshu would still quip back at first. Later, however, given Yu Bo’s considerate and devoted care, and especially when she thought of how Yu Bo had risked his life for her, Ji Mingshu really did fall for him and felt that he was now better than Su Yu whom she had a crush on before. She had been immersed in the sweetness of their relationship recently, or she would have come to find Shuyan sooner.

......

As Ji Mingshu spoke, she looked at Shuyan gratefully. Chi Shuyan was also very happy that the two were finally together.

Ji Mingshu treated the two to milk tea on the side of the road. She took a sip and lamented, “To be honest, what I valued the most before was looks. You don’t know, but I took a fancy to the top student in our department, Su Yu! He’s very good-looking!”

When she mentioned Su Yu, Ji Mingshu’s expression was very normal, and didn’t contain the shyness of a young lady with a crush. It was clear that she had really let go, and didn’t shy away from talking about Su Yu.

Zhen Yu was very curious about Ji Mingshu’s crush. She pricked up her ears to listen. Chi Shuyan had long seen that Ji Mingshu had a crush on Su Yu, so she wasn’t surprised.

Ji Mingshu quickly changed the subject. “But I now feel that my Yu Bo is much better than Su Yu. Although he’s not as good-looking as Su Yu, he’s better than him in every other way!”

At the mention of Yu Bo, Ji Mingshu’s eyes were filled with happiness.

Chi Shuyan and Zhen Yu looked at each other – this was a classic case of beauty in the eyes of the beholder.

As they walked, Ji Mingshu continued, “In the past, my parents always said not to just look for a good-looking person, but to find a responsible boyfriend. I didn’t understand then, but I really do now. Looks can’t be eaten. The key is that a boyfriend has to be reliable and responsible. These are the two most important things!”

Zhen Yu nodded in agreement. “You’re right!”

Zhen Yu and Ji Mingshu talked about how good and sweet their boyfriends were to them. Chi Shuyan had lived two lifetimes and matured early. For a moment, she really couldn’t understand their girlish hearts, and could only listen to them earnestly.

As the two spoke, she occasionally chimed in. She didn’t say much, and spent more time looking up ahead or occasionally glancing at the shops on the side.

Zhen Yu and Ji Mingshu both had boyfriends, and wanted to buy clothes. Seeing a mall up ahead, they pulled Chi Shuyan inside.

Chi Shuyan wasn’t interested in shopping for clothes, but it was still necessary to accompany her friends. She treasured her two friends in this life, especially Zhen Yu. After all, they had known each other for a long time.

After entering the mall, the three of them chose a relatively high-end shop. Chi Shuyan wasn’t going to buy clothes, and sat on the couch to wait for the two of them. She watched them try on clothes and occasionally looked up to give comments.

Unlike Chi Shuyan, who had no interest in shopping and trying on clothes, the other two were very enthusiastic. They tried on five or six outfits. Seeing that Shuyan was still sitting on the couch and calmly reading a magazine when she came out, Ji Mingshu was a little perturbed, and asked, “Shuyan, aren’t you going to try on anything?”

Chi Shuyan looked up from the magazine and said calmly, “I don’t have a boyfriend, there’s no need for me to try on anything!”

This excuse was powerful enough.

Ji Mingshu choked. For a moment, she couldn’t believe that Shuyan didn’t have a boyfriend. She took a few more looks at Shuyan in the mirror and felt that it was simply impossible for someone as beautiful as her not to have a boyfriend.

Because of Shuyan’s age and character, Ji Mingshu subconsciously forgot that she was an expert who exorcized ghosts. She made up her mind to introduce Shuyan to someone.

Whoever got together with Shuyan would really benefit. Not only was she good-looking, she was also capable. What man wouldn’t like her?

If it wasn’t for the fact that she didn’t like women, she would have pursued Shuyan herself.

Chi Shuyan didn’t know that Ji Mingshu was going to try setting her up with someone. At that moment, she heard a familiar female voice. She subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice and recognized at a glance that the woman acting cute was Jiang Li, whom she had met at Teacher Yu’s house.

She glanced at Jiang Li, then at the good-looking man next to her. The man wasn’t tall at about 1.7 meters, but he looked refined and wore glasses. Chi Shuyan could tell at a glance that he was already married.

Jiang Li was wheedling the man to buy her things.

Chi Shuyan didn’t have a good impression of Jiang Li to begin with, and it was even worse now.

At that moment, Zhen Yu came out after trying on an outfit, and saw Shuyan’s strange behavior. She asked curiously, “Shuyan, why are you staring at that husband and wife? Do you know them? Should we go over and greet them?”
