"Brother Sui, are you serious..."
Hu Yifan was a little stunned. While their age wasn't ripe for a marriage of peace like in ancient times, it was most likely a marriage of convenience, with high school graduation being the watershed.
It was time to go abroad, to gain experience in a company; school was just a bonus.
And then there was the question of which wealthy daughter to be engaged to.
Everyone in the circle knew the answer perfectly well.
Although Hu Yifan knew Jiang Sui no good relationship with family had always been difficult, he still felt the Jiang family's problems would eventually fall on him.
Jiang Sui narrowed his eyes and glanced at Hu Yifan.
"What's true or false?"
"Don't you know? Word spread in the online community that you liked a girl, and your father disapproved, so you cut ties."
Hu Yifan said nothing more, though his eyes betrayed a hint of confusion.
"Brother Sui, who is that girl you like? I haven't seen you close to anyone in all these years."
Hu Yifan pondered for a moment, but he truly couldn't recall. Who did Jiang Sui like? Xu Miaoran was out of the question, but who could he be close to?
A pure little face suddenly popped up in his mind.
"F**k, Brother Sui, you and Su Qing are serious...!"
No wonder he, always face-blind and aloof, had picked on the girl several times, never cared about exams or competitions, and quietly left for Jiangcheng.
If Qin Zhao hadn't called him, he wouldn't have known about it, and even asked him about the girl in a sneaky way. He was upset with the babysitter at the time, so he didn't really listen.
F**k...
What a blast!
"Don't go around saying that. She's timid and shy."
Jiang Sui glanced at Hu Yifan's big mouth. He didn't want her to be bothered by such trivial matters. They had just started being together, and he didn't want her to be bothered by them.
"Then when will you take me to meet my brother wife-in-law?"
Jiang Sui glanced at Hu Yifan. "I'll call your babysitter right now and tell her you're out and about, and that you ranked third from the bottom in the final exam."
"No, no, no, Brother Sui, can't I just leave?"
Hu Yifan frowned fiercely. The babysitter didn't know about the final exam yet. If she did, she'd skin him alive.
After Hu Yifan left, the house finally quieted down. Jiang Sui took a shower, changed his clothes, and headed to the mall where he and Su Qing had agreed to meet.
Su Qing arrived earlier than him and was standing in the square, outside a dessert shop. She wore a white dress with a pink sweater over it, holding a small umbrella.
With her head lowered, couldn't see the girl's expression, but under the scorching sun, could sense she was very quiet.
As Jiang Sui approached, perhaps sensing someone, Su Qing looked up and saw the young man standing in front her.
He wore a white sweatshirt and gray casual pants. His clean, handsome face, his shaved brow giving him a cool and handsome air, was staring directly at her.
Feeling a little embarrassed, Su Qing put away her phone.
"Jiang Sui, you're here. Wait a minute."
She turned and handed him the umbrella handle, then headed to the drinks shop. Her phone had just notified her that the order was ready.
After a short while, she emerged, two small cups in hand.
"Strawberry smoothie."
He seemed to have bought her strawberry-flavored drinks many times.
Su Qing couldn't remember where she'd read in a book that said if someone liked someone, they would share their favorite things with them.
So, he probably liked strawberry-flavored things.
