Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Chapter 35 The Rumors of That School Bully (20)

As a wealthy and domineering middle-aged CEO, Shi Zheng booked the entire hotel. Since the banquet was still far from starting, only the Shi family, as the hosts, had arrived so far.

Shi Qi sat to one side, watching Shi Zheng and He Shuyao bustling around. Ever since his grades improved, Shi Zheng's attitude towards him had changed 180 degrees. He didn't even want Shi Qi's help and politely told him to stay aside.

After a long while, the guests arrived one after another.

At this point, the advantages of being a hot-tempered spoiled brat became apparent; he didn't need to fawn over his elders at all. Moreover, because of the original owner's "great achievements," few of his peers were willing to side with him.

Of course, one particular "yellow-haired" individual is an exception...

However, "Yellow Hair" can no longer be called "Yellow Hair". Since Shi dyed his hair back to black, Zhou Xiang was also forced by his family to dye his hair back.

The reason is: Look, even Shi Qi knows that green hair is ugly and has dyed his hair back. If you keep wearing yellow hair every day, aren't you afraid that Shi Qi will dislike you?

With tears in her eyes, Zhou dyed her beloved blonde hair back to its original color. Giving up this little bit of hair was nothing compared to avoiding Shi Ge's disapproval! ...

Zhou Xiangxiao said sincerely, "Brother Shi, happy birthday!"

Shi Qi: "Yes, thank you."

Zhou thought, "I never expected that in just one year, Brother Shi would be so far ahead of us. I admire him." He was genuinely happy for Shi.

"It's just a pity that I won't see you again after graduation. This retirement of mine is for life! Brother Shi, I'll miss you so much!"

Shi Qi laughed speechlessly: "It's not like there aren't other schools in the capital. Besides, even if you're not in the same city, don't you have a cell phone?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiang chuckled foolishly: "Hehe, I knew Brother Shi wouldn't abandon me."

Then, Zhou Xiang saw his parents waving to him from afar, so he said goodbye to Shi Qi and went to his parents' place. Unlike Shi Qi, his parents still took him to meet more people.

From a distance, Shi Qi saw that Ye Jiaojiao's family seemed to be arguing.

Without even listening, it was clear that her mother was trying to persuade Ye Jiaojiao to come over and make her presence known, but Ye Jiaojiao absolutely refused. However, her resistance was obviously futile, and her mother practically dragged her over.

Shi Qi checked the time; it wasn't even 7:30 yet, and his planned escape time was 8:00. It seemed there was no way to avoid it.

The two women approached him, with Ye's mother wearing a fawning smile.

She took the initiative to greet him, but remained seated without moving, showing no intention of getting up: "Auntie."

"Hey." She pulled Ye Jiaojiao forward a little: "Look at this child, she's getting shy when you ask her to chat with you."

"Is that so?" Shi Qi looked at Ye Jiaojiao, who remained silent.

Seeing that Ye Jiaojiao didn't speak, Ye's mother pinched her waist from behind: "You two talk, I, an adult, won't bother you here."

Ye Jiaojiao stood there, observing Shi Qi, without making a move.

Without even looking up, Shi Qi said, "If you want to keep putting on an act for others, then sit down."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jiaojiao carefully sat down on the same sofa, in the spot furthest away from him.

Shi Qi didn't want to pay any attention to her. He had plenty of time to do his task and there was no need to create trouble for himself today.

Ye Jiaojiao felt extremely uncomfortable, while Shi Qi next to her was playing with his phone with his head down, occasionally taking a sip of champagne, though it seemed like he hadn't reduced it much in a long time.

After a while, He Shuyao came over and called Shi Qi to cut the cake: "Jiaojiao, come along too." Although the two had no romantic feelings for each other, Shi Qi never said that their relationship was bad.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Shi Qi cut the first piece of cake, and then stood aside, listening to Shi Zheng's "grand talk".

He truly lives up to his reputation as a successful person; he talked about this little thing for almost ten minutes.

Looking at the cake in his hand, which he could see but not eat, Shi Qi sighed inwardly.

Seeing that his speech was finally over, Shi Qi moved closer to He Shuyao and said, "Mom, I'm leaving now."

He Shuyao nodded: "Okay, go ahead, I knew you couldn't stay still... Bring a cake for Xiaoyi too."

Shi Qi: "..."

007 was taken aback: "How did she know we were going to see Jiang Zhiyi?"

----

At 8:30, Jiang Zhiyi received a message from Shi Qi: He's downstairs.

Jiang Zhiyi: Coming right away. Then he put something in his pocket.

"Mom, I'm going out," she said as she changed her shoes.

Lin Jingwen shifted her gaze from the television to him: "It's so late, why are you still going out?"

"It's a classmate's birthday."

Watching Jiang Zhiyi's hurried departure, Lin Jingwen sighed helplessly...

Shi Qi stood downstairs and watched Jiang Zhiyi walk hurriedly towards him, then gave him a big hug.

As he released her, he said, "Happy birthday, Xiao Qi." Then, he took out a delicate little box and presented it to her.

When I opened the box, there was a watch inside, which I estimated to be worth around 1.

Jiang Zhiyi earns 6000 yuan a month tutoring him. After deducting living expenses and household subsidies, there isn't much left. It's easy to imagine how hard-won this watch is for him.

Shi Qi smiled and sincerely thanked him, saying, "Thank you, I like it very much." She then took out the watch and said, "Please put it on for me."

Jiang Zhiyi lowered his head, his brows furrowed with seriousness as he fastened the watch strap for Shi Qi, and said, "There will be better ones in the future."

"This one is great, I'll wear it all the time."

The two then went to the food street because Shi Qi had barely eaten anything at his birthday party.

At the beginning of the new year, the food street was bustling with people, filled with a joyful and festive atmosphere.

Jiang Zhiyi wrapped his scarf around Shi Qi, who was only wearing a down jacket over his suit, and bought him a serving of takoyaki. The two strolled leisurely side by side on the street.

"Are you cold?" Jiang Zhiyi asked, having just touched Shi Qi's icy hands.

Shi Qi shook his head; wearing a suit on the red carpet in winter was perfectly normal for him.

Jiang Zhiyi naturally didn't believe him: "Shall we go back after we've eaten?"

007: "...I thought you were on a date."

Shi Qi: "...Okay, let's go back."

The atmosphere inside the car was a bit tense. Jiang Zhiyi instinctively felt that Shi Qi might be angry, so she reached out and took his hand in hers. She whispered, "It's too cold at night. Your health is the most important thing. There'll be plenty of time later."

Shi Qi nodded upon hearing this. He wasn't particularly angry, but he felt that Jiang Zhiyi was somewhat of a spoilsport.

The two arrived at the hotel where Shi Qi was celebrating his birthday. Shi Zheng had booked the entire hotel, partly for show, and partly to prevent anyone from getting drunk and having trouble getting home. Shi Qi also received a room key from He Shuyao.

Shi Qi placed the two small boxes he had brought with him when he got off the bus on the table. Inside were two cakes, one large and one small.

Shi Qi pushed the smaller piece towards him: "Try it." Then she turned on the TV: "What do you want to watch?"

Jiang Zhiyi: "Whatever you say."

As Jiang Zhiyi had expected, Shi Qi chose an art film that looked like it could win awards.

Since they got together, apart from the first few films they watched, all the others have been realistic dramas that test the actors' acting skills. Because any other movies would make them drowsy.

Looking at Shi Qi's profile beside her, she clearly didn't seem like the type of person who would sit still and watch that kind of movie. But Jiang Zhiyi didn't find it strange; on the contrary, she just found the contrast quite endearing.

Shi Qi watched intently, constantly putting cake into her mouth, until she was almost finished before realizing that Jiang Zhiyi hadn't touched a bite: "Won't you try some?"

Jiang Zhiyi's gaze fell on Shi Qi's lips, which still had a bit of cake on them: "Try it..."

Shi Qi felt something was wrong, but before she could react, her mouth was covered. It took them a long time to separate.

"Want to come?" Shi Qi asked in a low voice, her eyes reddening, which was extremely tempting to Jiang Zhiyi.

"Hmm..." Shi Qi is already an adult...

Everything fell into place naturally, ambiguous sounds echoed, and the room was filled with the warmth of spring.

"Jiang Zhiyi's favorability +5"

I vaguely heard this system notification, and I was speechless. So you're just going to keep me stuck at 99%, huh?

Shi Qi, unable to contain his anger, bit Jiang Zhiyi hard on the birthmark on his shoulder, the bite mark almost overlapping with the birthmark.

"Hiss... Xiao Qi, what's wrong?"

"It can't be just me who's in pain," Shi Qi said confidently.

Jiang Zhiyi had no complaints, but gently kissed him on the forehead: "Then bite harder."

Looking at his bleeding shoulder, Shi Qi rolled his eyes: "I'm tired."

Jiang Zhiyi smiled and pulled Shi Qi closer to him, maintaining an extremely intimate posture between them: "Sleep."
