He used to be that carefree boy in the village, running all over the hillsides and catching fish in the river all day long, completely unremarkable. Who would have thought that he was actually running such a high - end club...
Ding Ruola's face was a complex mix of expressions.
"Hahaha, no, this is my classmate. My husband is at home... How was your family during that earthquake?"
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Ding Ruola touched her nose and grinned at Li Yan.
She remembered Bi Shuang telling her that someone in Li Yan's family got injured. She just didn't know how serious it was.
"Not bad. My dad hurt his leg and came to Beijing. He's recuperating at my sister's place now."
As Li Yan spoke, he casually poured two cups of fragrant tea and pushed them in front of Ding Ruola and Mei Xuejian.
"Oh, I hope your uncle recovers soon! I'll go and visit him with Bi Shuang some other day!" Ding Ruola took a sip of the tea. It was so fragrant that the aroma lingered on her lips and teeth.
Shi Zhi, who had been ignored, quietly glanced at Li Yan. His eyes were full of resentment.
He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it with relish. "This little sister had her shoulder bumped. Do you need some medicine?"
Shi Zhi was very meticulous and still remembered this.
Even if they weren't brothers or friends, customers who got bumped should be taken good care of! Moreover, this one was Li Yan's friend!
A friend of a friend is a friend! A brother of a brother is a brother! That was Shi Zhi's way of dealing with things.
Li Yan was taken aback. He hadn't expected Ding Ruola to get injured. He looked at her with concern. "Does it hurt?" As he spoke, the boy took out a first - aid kit from under the table.
When he opened it, it was filled with all kinds of pills, potions, bandages, and band - aids, neatly arranged.
Was the area where this wing - room was located called the medical area?!
"Uh..." Ding Ruola twitched the corners of her mouth. She really wanted to see what else was under the table...
"No, no, it's okay. It's not very serious." She forced a smile and declined.
Ding Ruola was Bi Shuang's best friend, and Li Yan and Bi Shuang were childhood sweethearts. Naturally, Li Yan also regarded Ding Ruola as a good friend.
"Don't decline among friends! If you say you don't need it, I'll believe you! But if it hurts, just tell me. I'll put medicine on it for you, haha!"
Even though he said so, thinking that if he really put medicine on Ding Ruola, he would have to see her fragrant shoulder. Li Yan blushed.
"Do we know each other?" Unable to hold it back any longer, Shi Zhi finally spoke!
Ding Ruola was a bit excited when she heard this. She raised her eyes and met Shi Zhi's gaze. Her eyes were shining with excitement. "I think so too!"
She glanced at Mei Xuejian beside her, her eyes full of expectation. "Don't you also feel like you know him?"
"Oh, um...?" Mei Xuejian looked as calm as water and responded non - committedly.
Ding Ruola: "…?"
"Are you from University B? I seem to have seen this male classmate! I'm also from University B!" Shi Zhi took a big sip of tea. As if he had remembered something, he affirmed his thought.
His eyes were shining with excitement. "You should be the one who studies design, right?! And you're the model senior in the design club of the school? I'm from the School of Physical Education and also a member of the Student Union!"
Shi Zhi smiled brightly like a star, showing a row of white teeth. His beautiful smile was infectious.
"Oh. Yes, I'm Mei Xuejian from the School of Media. Nice to meet you..." Mei Xuejian was a bit confused.
Although he didn't know how Shi Zhi knew him, anyway, he was totally focused on design at school and had no distractions.
He had a rather cold personality and never interacted with the people in the Student Union. So naturally, he didn't recognize Shi Zhi.
He just seemed to always see his photo on the list of the school sports meeting, always ranking first.
It seemed that he had also represented the school in some international sports meetings and won great prizes?
As if he suddenly remembered something, Mei Xuejian suddenly raised his head and stared blankly at Shi Zhi. Suddenly, he felt that the other person's eyes were inexplicably gloomy and terrifying!
He had heard that Shi Zhi had a bad character. He was a ruthless person who did all kinds of evil like killing, setting fires, looting...
He was a complete hooligan and even called those social ruffians brothers...
People said that he had ruined the reputation of University B and was a disgrace. But why hadn't the school expelled him yet?
Mei Xuejian twitched the corners of his mouth. He sized up the sunny boy in front of him, full of doubts. He just didn't look like that at all...
And Ding Ruola was also looking blank. She didn't stay on campus very often. Maybe she had seen this guy a few times on the school's official website, but she didn't know this classmate Shi Zhi either.
She laughed awkwardly twice. "Hahaha, what a coincidence! So we're from the same school. I said I thought you looked so familiar! Hahaha! I'm also from the School of Media. I'm Ding Ruola. Hehe..."
Shi Zhi looked at their reactions with a half - crying, half - laughing expression. The corners of his mouth twitched in embarrassment.
So these two didn't know him at all! They just thought he looked familiar! Even though he was notorious on campus...
"Hahaha, well, I'm Li Yan's brother. My name is Shi Zhi. I don't have much to do during the summer vacation, so I come here to work part - time."
"If you have any problems at school, just come to me! If someone bullies you, just tell me! A brother of a brother is a brother! Treat me as your own! Your brother will stand up for you! Hahaha"
As Shi Zhi spoke, he moved his wrists. A few of his fingers made a crisp cracking sound. His eyes were shining.
Although he had the face of a sunny boy, his words were full of a hooligan air.
He was really a bit similar to Li Yan! No wonder they were brothers! Ding Ruola silently sighed in her heart.
"Sure! If there's anything, we'll definitely ask Big Brother Shi Zhi for help! Hehe..."
Ding Ruola was grinning stupidly. Although she didn't think she would ever get involved with any powerful forces and need Li Yan's help.
Suddenly, her phone rang. Ding Ruola answered it and found that it was Jiang Chen calling. A clear and cold voice came from the phone, but Ding Ruola could still hear the concern and urgency.
"Miss Ding? Where are you guys now? It's almost an hour since you left. Did something happen? Lu Hui sent messages to you two. Why didn't you reply..."
"Cough, it's okay! We just got lost. Don't worry~ We'll be back soon!" Ding Ruola's voice was gentle as she softly comforted.
"Okay..."
After the call ended, Ding Ruola looked at her phone. Sure enough, there were many messages from Lu Hui and Jiang Chen.
A warm current flowed through her heart...
"Well, Li Yan, we're leaving now! Our colleagues will be anxious waiting for us! Let's get together some other day!" Ding Ruola and Mei Xuejian got up.
"Okay..." Li Yan and Shi Zhi grinned stupidly at them, their expressions full of sincerity.
However, just as they reached the door, Ding Ruola and Mei Xuejian returned embarrassedly. Looking at the two people sitting on the sofa, looking blank, they said, "Excuse me, how can we get to Room 3205 in the Crazy Party Area?"
