With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

When Gao Zhan came to his senses, a picture of a business card with a QR code had already appeared in front of him.

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

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

Shen Ci looked at the friend request message, glanced up at the meticulous Gao Zhan, and suddenly a clear and bright premonition welled up in her heart.

Well, this man in front of me, maybe, probably, possibly...

"I'll pick you up tomorrow night. Send me your address first."

"Tomorrow?" Shen Ci exclaimed in surprise.

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

Shen Ci shook her head. She was fine, but the performance was tomorrow, so wasn't it too hasty to contact her today?

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

Since she was already there, she decided to make the best of it. She wasn't afraid; helping the handsome guy was her duty.

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

Shen Ci revealed a meaningful smile. Although she hadn't been confessed to, Gao Zhan's words, "I think you're pretty, which is more convincing," actually made her happier.

This person looks meticulous and serious, but their aesthetic sense is still very good.

At this moment, her phone started receiving a barrage of messages. Shen Ci thought it was the Olympiad school team group chat exploding again, but when she opened it, she found that they were all messages from Gao Zhan telling her to remember them.

From personal information to personal preferences and other random things.

In just a short while, dozens of them!

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

Lianxing quietly moved closer and squeezed her face into the mirror. Shen Ci glanced at her through the mirror: "What? Never seen a beautiful woman before?"

Lianxing stared at her warily: "Something's not right with you!"

"That's nothing compared to how weird you are." Shen Ci said bluntly, "You haven't passed your beginner go-karting test yet, have you? Are you really unable to pass, or are you pretending to be stupid for your young and handsome instructor?"

"Shen Ci!" Gu Lianxing shouted, "Don't change the subject! You haven't worn such formal makeup in a long time. Tell me honestly, have you rekindled your old flame with Shi Ye?"

"Do you think that's possible?"

"You wouldn't..." Gu Lianxing exclaimed in shock, "You didn't just finish dealing with Shi Ye and already get together with someone else, did you?"

Seeing her making a fuss, Shen Ci snorted: "Although I don't, as long as I'm not two-timing, it's my freedom to be with other people whenever I want."

"So what are you doing today? Not on a date? Are you going to some kind of banquet?" Pili couldn't help but ask, leaning closer out of the room.

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

"It's stunning! So tell me, where are we going?"

"Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon this person, to save the handsome man from dire straits."

Shen Ci smiled mysteriously, flicked her finger at the "Hermes Little House" next to her, and left the dormitory without looking back, her outfit costing over a hundred yuan.

Lianxing and Pili exchanged another glance, both feeling that Shen Ci was definitely up to something.

On campus, Shen Ci's attire today was undeniably flamboyant, attracting 100% attention from both boys and girls wherever she went.

"Shen Ci, she's so beautiful!"

"The bag she's carrying, a Little House Hermès, costs over a hundred yuan!"

"I'm so envious, she's beautiful and rich. I want to look like her in my next life!"

Shen Ci walked out of the school gate without trying to keep a low profile, so much so that Gao Zhan recognized her as soon as she appeared.

Gao Zhan's car was parked across the street. He had also changed into a more formal suit, which made his ascetic aura even stronger. This was the complete opposite of Shen Ci's bright and fiery appearance today, creating a strong contrast.

Gao Zhan watched the girl opposite him, swaying gracefully as she walked towards him, and he couldn't take his eyes off her.

Before he could react, Shen Ci had already come close and naturally hooked her slender white forearm around Gao Zhan's arm.

She tilted her head slightly, revealing bright eyes and white teeth: "You took a little while to put on your makeup. Have you been waiting long?"

Gao Zhan snapped out of his reverie and gently shook his head: "No, you look really beautiful today."

His tone was calm but very sincere, making you feel that he was praising you—a heartfelt and completely pure compliment.

"Meeting the parents definitely needs to be a bit formal," Shen Ci said.

Gao Zhan looked at her. The Shen Ci in front of him was a Shen Ci he had never seen before. During their several encounters at the hospital, he had seen Shen Ci with light makeup and gentle natural beauty, but he had never seen her so flamboyant and radiant today.

She was vibrant and full of energy; it was as if all the light around her was focused on her the moment she appeared.

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

The two people are completely different.

Looking at Shen Ci's hand that was holding his arm, his expression was slightly strange.

"What's wrong?" Shen Ci frowned upon seeing this. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No," Gao Zhan explained in a low voice, "I've never had a girl link arms with me before, this is the first time."

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

"real."

"Then you'd better get used to it quickly. This is just the most basic. If we hold hands or do anything else intimate later, and you subconsciously push me away, you'll completely give yourself away."

"No, I'm mentally prepared." Gao Zhan said, leading 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, open the car door, and get in: "Are we going straight there? Should I prepare a gift?"

"No need, I'm all ready." As the car started, Gao Zhan remembered to remind them, "Today's occasion might be mostly elders. If you feel uncomfortable, you don't have to say anything. I'll handle it."

Shen Ci smiled and said, "Since I've agreed to go, I certainly won't just sit there like a pretty face. I'll be flexible and adaptable, don't worry."

Gao Zhan twitched the corners of his mouth and actually smiled.

Shen Ci was startled and blurted out instinctively, "You laughed?"

"Hmm?" Gao Zhan frowned in confusion.

Shen Ci exclaimed in surprise, "Every time I see you, I subconsciously stare at your face. I've only ever seen a smile in your eyes, but you just smiled. That's really rare."

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhan frowned even more: "You're making me sound like I have facial paralysis. I just don't smile much usually, not that I can't smile. Besides, there's nothing funny to laugh about in my daily work."

"So you were laughing just now because of what I said?"

Gao Zhan looked at Shen Ci and nodded slightly.
