Since it's Ning Anyuan's birthday at the end of this month, she, as his younger sister, has to prepare some birthday gifts.

That day, Ningyi dragged Liman out to go shopping with her.

"Do you want to buy your brother clothes, shoes, or something else?" Li Man asked as they strolled around.

Ning Yi said with some distress, "Sigh, I don't know either. It feels like he doesn't need anything, so I don't know what to buy."

Li Man looked around and then said, "After all, it's a token of my sister's affection. Even if he doesn't need it, he'll definitely be happy that you gave it to him."

That's what she said, but she still didn't know what to buy.

Li Man pointed to a clothing store next door and said to Ning Yi, "Let's go take a look inside."

They walked into the men's clothing store.

"Hello, ladies, are you buying this for your boyfriend or for your family?" The shop assistant greeted them warmly.

Ning Yi replied, "I'm buying it for my brother. Let's take a look."

The shop assistant pointed in another direction and said with a smile, "You can come with me. These are the best-selling items. Since he's your brother, he must not be very old."

"These are all worn by young people."

Ning Yi carefully selected, but found none of them to be satisfactory.

Suddenly she remembered that she didn't have Ning Anyuan's size or anything like that, so she quickly sent a message to Gu Ai to ask.

Two minutes later, Gu Ai sent over Ning Anyuan's measurements.

They then went to other stores, and after an hour, Ningyi finally chose a tie and a shirt.

Ning Yi and Li Man chose a restaurant to eat at.

"Xiao Yi, let me tell you, this restaurant is really delicious, and the desserts are amazing too," Li Man recommended to Ning Yi while looking at the menu.

Ning Yi also ordered a few dishes.

The dishes were served shortly afterward.

Li Man brought the plate of kitten-shaped cakes to Ning Yi: "Try this, it's delicious!"

Ning Yi was pleasantly surprised; she hadn't expected the little cake to be so exquisite that she almost didn't want to eat it.

She was about to eat with her fork when Li Man stopped her.

Li Man suddenly said, "Wait, wait, I've found a new angle for taking pictures! Wait a minute, I'll take a couple of pictures of you with the dessert."

Then Li Man cheerfully took out her phone and had Ning Yi pretend to eat the cake while she took a few pictures of her. After that, she had Ning Yi hold the cake and take a few more pictures.

Li Man smiled contentedly as she flipped through the photo album on her phone, then handed it to Ning Yi: "Xiao Yi, look! Isn't it super cute?"

Ning Yi already has a youthful appearance, and smiling at the camera while holding a kitten cake is just too adorable.

Li Man nodded in satisfaction, then said to her, "I'll send it to you in a bit."

Afterwards, Li Man sent the photo to Ning Yi, then rested her chin on her hands on the table, looked at Ning Yi, and said, "Xiao Yi, you're so well-behaved, who will be lucky enough to marry you in the future?"

Ning Yi smiled a little shyly: "Oh, not at all."

Li Man took a sip of her drink and then joked, "Ahem, I've noticed that your relationship with that basketball player, Lin Zhiyu, is a bit unusual."

Ning Yi was taken aback for a moment, then said, "What? I'm not even familiar with him."

"Tsk tsk tsk, he saved you last time, and I even saw you two coming out of the practice room together last time," Li Man said with a hint of gossip.

Ning Yi explained, "He saved me out of kindness that time; he was so close to me. I treated him to a meal afterward to repay the favor..."

"You even had dinner together afterwards?" Li Man became even more interested.

Ning Yi said somewhat helplessly, "That was to repay a favor. The reason I came out of the practice room with him that day was because Lin Meng and I had already made plans to practice the piano together, and as you know, Lin Zhiyu is Lin Meng's brother."

"Later, Lin Zhiyu came looking for Lin Meng, and we bumped into each other."

“Alright then,” Li Man replied, pouting.

“However, Lin Zhiyu is such a good catch, handsome, good at basketball, and popular. You’re not bad either. If you want to pursue him, I think it’s a sure thing,” Li Man suddenly said.

Ning Yi picked up a mochi from the side and stuffed it into Li Man's mouth: "Okay, okay, can't eating shut you up?"

"Anyway, I don't have any other thoughts about him right now. And you know he's so popular, he must have a lot of girls around him, and there are plenty of girls who are more outstanding and prettier than me," Ning Yi shrugged, then lowered her head and ate her food as she spoke.

……

The weather is getting colder and colder, and sometimes I can't help but shiver when the wind blows at night.

Li Man said her friend needed to talk to her, so she left after returning to school.

Ning Yi walked alone on the path back to her dormitory.

She opened her phone, looked at the wallpaper on her phone and couldn't help but smile, gently stroking the photo of Ji Yan with her finger.

She wondered how she could take things further with Ji Yan. She had a happy family, was rich and beautiful, but all she lacked was a sweet romance.

As things unfolded, it seemed that there was no possibility for Ji Yan and Qiao Jiawei to be together anymore, and she suddenly felt sorry for Ji Yan.

The girl he had secretly liked for five or six years eventually got together with his best friend, and Qiao Jiawei never knew about this relationship.

Why must novels always include a devoted and pitiful second male lead?

Before Ning Yi even reached the dormitory building, it suddenly started raining.

Ning Yi was startled and quickly ran to the small pavilion next to her.

The rain suddenly started to pour, and the weather forecast didn't predict it would rain today, so she didn't bring an umbrella.

The rain is too heavy. If she runs back in the rain, she will definitely catch a cold, and there is still such a distance to go.

Then Ning Yi sent a message in the dormitory group: Xiao Nuo, Qiao Na, is anyone in the dormitory?

Ningyi: It's suddenly raining heavily outside. I didn't bring an umbrella. Can you come and pick me up?

An Xiaonuo: Ah... My dad passed by the school today and picked me up to go out for dinner. I haven't gone home yet.

Jona: They're not in the dorm?

Jona: I've come out to celebrate my friend's birthday.

Ning Yi bit her lip and replied: Okay, it's nothing.

She sighed, somewhat helplessly. It seemed she could only wait here and see if the rain would lessen later.

A few minutes later, Lin Meng sent a message.

Lin Meng: Ning Yi, we're leaving at 11 a.m. tomorrow!

Ning Yi: Okay

She suddenly remembered something and quickly sent another message: Lin Meng, are you in the dorm?

Ningyi: I went out without an umbrella, and now it's raining heavily. I can't get back to my dorm because my roommates aren't there.

Two minutes later, Lin Meng replied to the message.

Lin Meng: I'm sorry... I'm not in the dorm either, but my brother is. I can have him come pick you up.

Ning Yi felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this, and then immediately replied: "Wouldn't that be too much trouble? Let me think of another way."

Lin Meng: It's okay, it's no trouble at all. Just tell me the exact location, and I'll have him come pick you up right away.

Ning Yi pursed her lips, feeling conflicted. But if no one came to pick her up, she didn't know when the rain would stop.

Forget it, she doesn't want to be someone who suffers for the sake of saving face.

Then Ning Yi told Lin Meng the exact location.

About six or seven minutes later, Ning Yi saw Lin Zhiyu running over with an umbrella.

Lin Zhiyu walked into the pavilion, took a few breaths, and then looked at Ning Yi and said, "Have you been waiting long? Are you cold?"

Ning Yi quickly waved her hand: "No, no, I'm the one who's troubling you."

"It's okay, I'll take you home," Lin Zhiyu said to her after glancing at the rain outside.

Lin Zhiyu handed the umbrella in his other hand to Ning Yi.

He had originally planned to just take one umbrella so that he could share it with Ning Yi, but he was afraid that Ning Yi would feel embarrassed, so he decided against it.

Ning Yi was a little embarrassed along the way, so she didn't say much. Lin Zhiyu escorted her downstairs.

When Ning Yi got downstairs, she put the umbrella away and returned it to Lin Zhiyu. She then thanked him and jogged into the dormitory.

"Ning Yi, see you tomorrow," Lin Zhiyu suddenly called out.

Ning Yi paused for a moment, then waved politely: "See you tomorrow."
