Chapter 565

By the time Gao Zhan came back to his senses, a picture of a business card QR code had already appeared in front of him.

"Let's add each other as friends first. If there are any details that need to be communicated, you can send me a message. I have a very good memory; I will definitely remember everything you mention."

Gao Zhan took out his phone to scan: "Then you can also tell me about your situation, I'll remember it too."

Shen Ci looked at the friend request verification message and glanced up at the meticulous Gao Zhan. A clear and bright premonition suddenly surged in her heart.

That is, the man in front of her, maybe, should, probably, perhaps will...

"I'll come pick you up tomorrow night. You send me the address first."

"Tomorrow?" Shen Ci exclaimed.

Gao Zhan nodded and asked hesitantly: "What's wrong? Do you have something to do tomorrow?"

Shen Ci shook her head. She didn't have anything to do, but they were going to act tomorrow; wouldn't it be too last-minute to look for her today?

"OK, I'll send it to you."

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. She wasn't afraid; helping a handsome man was her duty, and she wouldn't look back.

Back in the car, as soon as she sat down, her brother couldn't help but lean over curiously and ask: "Sister, did you really get confessed to?"

Shen Ci showed a meaningful smile. Although she hadn't been confessed to, Gao Zhan's remark that "I think you are beautiful and more convincing" actually made her happier.

This person looked meticulous and serious, but his aesthetic sense was still very much online.

At this moment, her phone started to pop up with crazy messages. Shen Ci thought the Olympiad school team group had exploded again, but when she clicked it open, it was all messages Gao Zhan sent her to remember.

From personal information to personal preferences to other messy things.

In just this short while, dozens of them!

The next day, Shen Ci sat in front of the makeup mirror, drawing her eyebrows and eyes. Lianxing and Pili had been observing silently for a long time. Finally, the two looked at each other, and Pili gave Lianxing a look, signaling her to ask.

Lianxing quietly leaned in and squeezed her face into the mirror. Shen Ci glanced at her through the mirror: "What are you doing? Never seen a beauty before?"

Lianxing stared at her with a vigilant signal: "You're not acting right!"

"That's not as weird as you." Shen Ci was blunt: "You haven't passed your beginner's go-kart license yet, right? Are you really unable to pass, or are you pretending to be stupid for that little fresh meat coach of yours?"

"Shen Ci!" Gu Lianxing shouted: "Don't change the subject. You haven't worn such formal makeup in a long time. Be honest, are you rekindling your old romance with Shi Ye?"

"Do you think that's possible?"

"You wouldn't..." Gu Lianxing was shocked: "You wouldn't have gotten together with someone else right after dealing with Shi Ye, would you?"

Looking at her making a fuss, Shen Ci snorted coldly: "Although I haven't, as long as I'm not two-timing, it's my freedom to be with whoever I want whenever I want."

"Then what are you doing today? Is it not a date? Are you going to some evening banquet?" Pili also couldn't help but lean forward curiously to ask.

Shen Ci finished applying her lipstick and looked in the mirror with satisfaction: "How is it? Am I beautiful?"

"You're stunning. So hurry up and tell me, where are you going?"

"Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon a person, saving a handsome man from fire and water."

Shen Ci smiled mysteriously, hooked her finger around the "Hermès little house" beside her—this outfit easily cost hundreds—and left the dormitory without looking back.

Lianxing and Pili looked at each other again, both feeling that Shen Ci definitely had something going on.

On campus, Shen Ci's outfit today was nothing if not flamboyant. Whether it was boys or girls, she had a 100% head-turning rate as she walked by.

"It's Shen Ci, she's so beautiful!"

"The bag in her hand, the Hermès little house, it's hundreds!"

"So envious, beautiful and rich. I want to look like this in my next life too!"

Shen Ci walked out of the school gate all the way, not low-key at all, so much so that she was recognized by Gao Zhan as soon as she appeared.

Gao Zhan's car was parked across the street. He had also changed into a relatively formal suit, and his ascetic temperament was even more intense, forming a sharp contrast with Shen Ci's bright and fiery look today.

Gao Zhan looked at the girl across the street, swaying as she came toward him, unable to take his eyes off her.

Before he could react, Shen Ci had already arrived, and her small, white-as-scallion forearm naturally hooked and held Gao Zhan's arm.

She tilted her head slightly, her bright eyes and white teeth showing: "Makeup took a little longer, have you been waiting long?"

Gao Zhan came back to his senses and shook his head lightly: "No, you look beautiful today."

His tone was calm but very sincere, making you feel that he was truly complimenting you—a compliment from the heart and completely pure.

"Meeting the parents must be a bit more formal," Shen Ci said.

Gao Zhan looked at her. The Shen Ci in front of him was a Shen Ci he hadn't seen before. In their few meetings at the hospital, he had seen Shen Ci's clear, light makeup and gentle bare face, but he had never seen her looking as flamboyant and bright as she did today.

Lively and full of vitality, as soon as she appeared, it seemed as if all the light around her gathered on her alone.

Gao Zhan admitted that he had never had such an aura; he was rigorous and restrained, and his personality was also silent and stubborn.

The two were worlds apart.

Looking at the hand Shen Ci used to hold his arm, his expression was slightly strange.

"What?" Shen Ci frowned when she saw this: "Is this uncomfortable?"

"No," Gao Zhan whispered: "I haven't been held by the arm by a girl before. This is the first time."

"Really?" Shen Ci was a bit surprised, but she didn't think Gao Zhan would lie.

"Really."

"Then you'd better get used to it quickly. This is just the basics. If we hold hands or have any other intimate actions later, and you subconsciously push me away, we'll be completely exposed."

"That won't happen. I've prepared myself mentally," Gao Zhan said, bringing Shen Ci to the car and opening the door for her.

Shen Ci got into the car and watched Gao Zhan walk around to the other side to open the door and get in: "Are we going straight there? Do I need to prepare a gift?"

"No, I've prepared everything." As the car started, Gao Zhan remembered to remind her: "There might be many elders at today's occasion. If you feel uncomfortable, you don't have to speak; I'll handle it."

Shen Ci smiled: "Since I promised to go with you, I certainly won't just sit there like a vase. I'll adapt to the situation, don't worry."

Gao Zhan curled his lips and actually smiled.

Shen Ci was startled and blurted out subconsciously: "You smiled?"

"Hmm?" Gao Zhan frowned in confusion.

Shen Ci exclaimed in wonder: "Every time I see you, I subconsciously stare at your face. I've only seen smiles in your eyes, but your lips just turned up. That's rare."

Gao Zhan frowned even tighter upon hearing this: "You make it sound like I have facial paralysis. I just smile less often, it's not that I can't smile, and there's nothing worth smiling about in my daily work."

"So you just smiled because of what I said?"

Gao Zhan looked at Shen Ci and nodded lightly.
