He was different from the men s.h.i.+ Yi had met before. He was completely different from the standards she set for herself. However, when she thought of him, s.h.i.+ Yi couldnt help but feel motivated. She wanted to get his encouragement and approval. This was a feeling she had never had before.

s.h.i.+ Yi thought that she probably liked him.

s.h.i.+ Yi sat in the car on the way home. The sun was on the west road, leaving only an afterglow. It drew an orange dividing line at the border of the sky, the last overlap of night and day.

Neon lights lit up the city, blocking out the light of all the stars in the sky, turning the sky pitch-black.

The bright street lamps cast a flickering reflection on s.h.i.+ Yis face, making the melancholic look on her face even clearer.

s.h.i.+ Yi had been in a dilemma for a long time. In the end, her emotions finally overcame her rationality and she called the man who sent the message.

h.e.l.lo? s.h.i.+ Yi? His voice was still cheery, but he sounded a little tired. He must have just finished work for the day.

s.h.i.+ Yi took a deep breath and tried her best to sound relaxed as she said, Hey, Xu Zhi, are you off work? Do you want to have a meal together? Mm s.h.i.+ Yi was thinking of an excuse for this meal. Treat it as a celebration of this seasons new product sales!

Xu Zhi coughed lightly. His voice was a little hoa.r.s.e, and his tone was very forced as he said, Im sorry, s.h.i.+ Yi. Im afraid 1 cant do it tonight. 1 still have to work overtime.

s.h.i.+ Yi felt somewhat disappointed. Thats right, Yushu Buyi and the Down Ridge Clothes Workshop were rivals. Since Yushu Buyis new product was selling well, how could he celebrate for her?

s.h.i.+ Yi scolded herself for being so stupid. Why did she find such a lame excuse after thinking for so long? She was really too stupid!

The two of them were silent for a while. After Xu Zhi took a sip of water to moisten his throat, he continued, Tomorrow is Sat.u.r.day. Are you free tomorrow? Why dont we go to the mall tomorrow? This is the first time youve designed and produced new clothes, so you must be rewarded for having such good achievements. Tomorrow, 111 buy you a gift that suits you the most!

s.h.i.+ Yi agreed immediately without thinking, Okay! She was blaming herself for being delusional about him just now, but she couldnt help but feel touched now and she grinned from ear to ear.

Do you want to have lunch together tomorrow? I know a new j.a.panese restaurant. The ingredients there are all s.h.i.+pped over that day, so theyre very fresh. We can eat sas.h.i.+mi. Are you okay with eating raw food?

s.h.i.+ Yi smiled even more happily as she said, Sure, lets meet at the j.a.panese restaurant at noon tomorrow! Send me the location.

Okay.

The chauffeur had followed s.h.i.+ Yi for so many days, but this was the first time he saw her so happy after work, so he couldnt help but interrupt, Miss, are you going on a date tomorrow?

Nonsense, how can it be a date? Its just a meal with a friend! The more s.h.i.+ Yi spoke, the more guilty she felt. In fact, she was secretly looking forward to this date.

Xu Zhi was far more considerate than she had imagined. He immediately thought of a solution since he wasnt free today. In just a few minutes, he had arranged everything and even asked her about her preferences so considerately.

s.h.i.+ Yi felt that her heart was beating wildly. Even her breathing became hurried and her face was flushed.

She couldnt help but ask the chauffeur, Sir, if a man is so considerate, do you think perhaps he likes me?

Feeling gossipy, the chauffeur said, Of course he likes you. Otherwise, who would be so attentive? Hes giving you a gift and even arranged a place to eat. Back then, when I wooed my wife, I put in so much effort

Along the way, the chauffeur spoke nonstop, while s.h.i.+ Yi listened with relish.

At the thought of the date tomorrow, s.h.i.+ Yi was so excited that she couldnt fall asleep at night and kept trying on clothes the entire night.

Today was Friday. s.h.i.+ Bin didnt have to work overtime or go back to school, so he originally wanted to go home early to rest..
