Suddenly, Su Jiu gritted her teeth and stood up, planning to ask someone. The little villain was in this school. She would not believe that she could not find him!

Over an hour later, Rong Si came out of Professor Zhong’s studio. Having completed his task for the day, he picked up his backpack from the break room and walked out with it over his shoulder.
As soon as he walked out, he saw a beautiful and tall young girl standing outside.
Rong Si’s eyes darkened. He knew that this girl was waiting for him. He didn’t want to bother with her, but she was Professor Zhong’s daughter. He could only nod politely and walk past her, planning to return to the apartment.
He always had this cold, indifferent attitude.
Zhong Ya gritted her teeth. She was angry, but she was more disappointed and sad.
She had known Rong Si for a long time. Because of her research, she spent every day with him. However, he still kept a distance from her and even made her feel distant.
He was right in front of her, but it seemed impossible to get close to him.
Zhong Ya’s gaze followed Rong Si’s back. Seeing that he was leaving without any reluctance, she quickly followed him. “Rong Si!”
Rong Si stopped and turned to look at her. “Yes?”
Caught off guard, Zhong Ya met his handsome face. She blushed. “No… nothing. I just wanted to ask if you’re free? If not, let me buy you a meal?”
“No need,” Rong said flatly.
The next day was his birthday. And with the habits she had, Little Jiu would soon call to ask what gift he wanted, if he wanted anything from her, and what he liked. She wouldn’t stop asking, insisting that he tell her.
But he had checked his phone earlier. There had been no call from her, nor any messages.
Could she have forgotten?
Actually, Rong Si really wanted to spend his eighteenth birthday with Su Jiu. But she was still at the hospital with her father, and he couldn’t very well ask her to come over.
It wasn’t safe for her to go out alone as a girl, and he was worried.
“Rong Si, you contributed greatly to the approval of the authoritative experts for our research project. My father also asked me to treat you to more meals and reward you. Take this meal as a gift from my father, alright?”
Even if Zhong Ya brought up Professor Zhong, it would be useless. Rong Si’s expression was still cold and indifferent. “I said no.”
Zhong Ya choked. “Can’t I borrow you for half an hour?”
Rong Si didn’t answer. “I’m leaving,” he said.
Zhong Ya was a little indignant. She thought of the girl who had called Rong Si and felt bitter. She couldn’t help but ask, “Rong Si, do you have a girl you like?”
Rong Si winced, then admitted bluntly, “Yes.”
Zhong Ya was stunned. Could it be that the person who called him was not one of the girls who usually pester him, but the girl he liked?
“Are you two together? Is she your girlfriend?”
When he thought of Su Jiu, Rong Si’s gaze became much gentler. His coldness and distance had faded a lot. “Not yet, but yes.”
Zhong Ya could not believe the determination and anticipation in his eyes.
With his looks, if Rong Si likes a girl, wouldn’t he just have to curl his finger for her to throw herself at him?
Has he actually not managed to woo her yet?
That girl is really arrogant!
Rong Si had no intention of continuing the conversation with Zhong Ya. He kept walking.
At this moment, Zhong Ya saw something out of the corner of her eye. She chased after Rong Si and took his arm. “Rong Si, you’re going back to the apartment, right? Shall I go back with you?”
