Chapter 448: I Went on a Date with Your Senior

"But..."

Xu Zhengze hesitated. "It's not really my place to tell Senior Shi Ye about this, is it?"

Even though they knew each other, their relationship wasn't close enough to interfere in his private affairs, especially regarding something like this.

"So what?" Yu Xinxin didn't want to let go of this chance to get back at Shen Ci. She pulled Xu Zhengze along and urged him earnestly, "You didn't know before, but now that you do, won't you feel uneasy if you don't say anything? Besides, I'm not asking you to tell them to break up directly; just giving him a heads-up is enough to fulfill your duty as a friend. He's an adult; he can make his own decisions in the end, right?"

Once Yu Xinxin put it that way, Xu Zhengze felt a bit swayed.

He pondered it for a moment and nodded. "You have a point. I should give the senior a proper warning. If he remains obsessed after that, then it's no longer my business."

"That's it. My boyfriend should have that kind of sense of justice." Yu Xinxin smiled with satisfaction.

Xu Zhengze smiled too, then looked at the black camisole in Yu Xinxin's hand. "Do you like this one? I'll buy it for you!"

"Sure, I'll wear it for you to see." Yu Xinxin said in a coquettish tone.

Shen Ci and Shi Ye went to see a movie together. Shi Ye had chosen the film, titled *Her Story*, a drama narrated from multiple female perspectives.

The film explored many modern social topics that are often considered obscure or taboo, such as divorce, single motherhood, family of origin, menstrual shame, open relationships, sexual desire, and one-night stands.

By presenting these topics straightforwardly in a lighthearted comedic style, Shen Ci found it deeply moving.

What surprised her even more was that Shi Ye, a guy, had done his homework and picked a film with such a strong feminist leaning.

"The movie was great. I'll probably watch it again if I have the chance."

At the cinema entrance, Shen Ci gave Shi Ye sincere praise. "You did your research. Picking such a female-centric film out of so many options earns you big points with me."

Shi Ye didn't hide his pride. He beamed with joy and said, "I just thought you'd like it, but after watching it, I really liked it myself. It's a good film."

"If you watch it again in the future, will you think of me? Think of today?"

Shen Ci smiled helplessly. He really liked asking questions where the potential answer would make him happy.

Including the question he asked earlier: "Do you think I look good in white?"

These little schemes were actually quite cute.

Shen Ci nodded. "Of course."

"Then can I ask you out again when I have time?"

Shen Ci nodded again.

Shi Ye's lips were already curling uncontrollably. "Then let me walk you back to school."

"No need. It's Friday today; I'm planning to go home."

Shi Ye realized. "Oh, right. Then..."

Shen Ci smiled. "Then I'll be off. See you next time!"

Shi Ye waved goodbye with longing eyes, watching Shen Ci walk out of the mall.

When she got home in the evening, the house was quiet and empty, with only Yoda running out to greet her, wagging its tail.

Shen Ci put on a leash and took it for a walk in the residential complex's pet park. She happened to run into the two stray orange cats she had seen before.

The two kittens had grown fatter than last year, showing that the property management staff were feeding them well.

"Sis!"

Shen Ci was sitting on a bench, finally relaxing, when Shen Xing found her. "You're back. You're quite smart to know to look for me here." Shen Ci stood up with a smile.

Seeing Shen Xing, Yoda jumped on him excitedly. He picked the little thing up, and Yoda started licking him with its pink tongue.

Shen Xing dodged while saying, "I went home and thought neither of you were back, but then I saw Yoda wasn't there either, so I figured someone must have come back to take it out for a walk."

"What do you want to eat tonight? Mom is probably going to be busy, so I'll take you out."

Her mother's company had been flooded with orders recently, with appointments booked until the end of the year. Shen Ci knew it was because Uncle Jiang had helped promote them, as she had seen that WeChat Moment post about *Pure Realm* as well.

"Anything is fine. I'll eat whatever you're having. I'm not picky."

Shen Ci laughed. "You want me to cook? That's too much trouble. Let's go out. You drive; I haven't ridden in your car since you got your license."

"Sure. How about I take you for a spin?"

He hadn't driven his new car many times and was itching to take it out.

There were seven cars in the garage now: two for the younger brother, one for their mother, and four for Shen Ci alone.

Shen Li hadn't found the time to learn to drive yet, so she hadn't bought one.

However, they all just picked whichever car they felt like driving on any given day. For example, their mother had driven Shen Ci's silver Ferrari supercar to work today.

Shen Xing sat in his ride impatiently. He had waited over two months to take delivery of this car, and he still regretted giving his priority delivery spot to Guo Yu.

Shen Ci got in with Yoda and set the navigation to a pet-friendly Japanese restaurant. "Let's go there!"

Shen Xing gave an 'OK' sign and started the engine.

The expensive engine let out a low, deep roar. Shen Xing looked satisfied. "Listen to that, Sis. Isn't it beautiful?"

"If you like it so much, why don't you drive it to school? Doesn't Longda have a parking lot?"

"It's too flashy. Better to keep a low profile." Shen Xing said.

In Longcheng, it wasn't rare for college students to drive to school, but driving a luxury car would definitely attract a lot of attention.

Take Guo Yu, for example—everyone in school knew who he was within days of the semester starting, just because he spent all day driving his luxury car around campus, letting everyone know his family was rich.

Her brother was a great driver, and the car moved very smoothly. Combined with the exceptionally comfortable seats of the luxury vehicle, Shen Ci almost fell asleep.

"How's Longda?"

Shen Ci asked casually, trying to make conversation with her brother.

Shen Xing replied with a smile, "It's great."

"Oh?" Shen Ci raised an eyebrow and looked at her brother. "Care to elaborate?"

"Well, the school is good, my roommates are good, and Jingming and Jiang Ran are there too. I think Longda is the perfect university for me." Shen Xing said, not forgetting to thank his sister. "I have to thank my favorite sister."

"No need to thank me. You had the ability to get in yourself; otherwise, I couldn't have done anything." Shen Ci said slowly.

Shen Xing saw Sang Hui's face in his mind again. Meeting her at Longda made him like the school even more, and the smile on his face widened.

But the next second, his sister said lightly, "I went on a date with your Senior Shi Ye today."

I recommend the movie *Her Story* to you all.

It's very worth watching, especially for girls.
