"Hello, little Yi, long time no see!" Qiao Jiawei smiled and greeted Ning Yi happily.

Ning Anyuan was somewhat surprised and asked, "Have you met before?"

Ning Yi nodded and replied, "I ran into Sister Jiawei when I went shopping with my mom a few days ago."

Ning Anyuan nodded and continued, "Then I don't need to introduce this one, his name is Cheng Qi."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Qi politely nodded to Ning Yi.

Ning Yi nodded politely in response.

Ning Anyuan said to Ning Yi, "I'll go over there and greet the guests. You stay here and chat with them. I'll call you back in a bit."

Ning Yi nodded: "Okay, brother, go ahead."

Ning Anyuan said considerately, "Have some snacks if you're hungry."

Ning Anyuan greeted them and then turned to leave.

Fang Nan knew that this was his good friend's sister, so he took the initiative to start a conversation and asked Ning Yi, "Little Yi, I heard that you are going back to China to study at Nanjing University?"

Ning Yi nodded and replied, "Yes."

Qiao Jiawei exclaimed with delight, "Then I'm considered your senior!"

Fang Nan swirled the wine in her glass and continued speaking to Ning Yi, "Little Yi, you probably don't know, but Jiawei, Aqi, and Ayan all graduated from A University."

She naturally knew this. In the novel, Qiao Jiawei fell in love with Cheng Qi during her university years. At first, Qiao Jiawei was too shy to confess, and she had a crush on him for a year before finally confessing. However, Cheng Qi didn't have the same feelings for her at all. Moreover, she heard that Cheng Qi had liked a girl in high school, but that girl seemed to have gone abroad later.

Even when Qiao Jiawei relentlessly pursued Cheng Qi and several rumored girlfriends appeared around him, Qiao Jiawei couldn't do anything about it. However, Cheng Qi eventually fell in love with Qiao Jiawei.

Of course, it was precisely because the three of them were college classmates that Ji Yan also liked Qiao Jiawei. However, by the time he realized it, Qiao Jiawei had already fallen head over heels in love with Cheng Qi.

Qiao Jiawei's ability to be with Cheng Qi was also due in no small part to Ji Yan's influence.

Ning Yi sighed inwardly. Poor man, thinking only of others, yet he ends up doing all the work for them.

Ning Yi snapped out of her daze and replied with a happy expression, "Really? That's great!"

Qiao Jiawei warmly took Ning Yi's hand and said, "If there's anything you want to know or don't understand, you can ask me anytime. I'm quite familiar with and in contact with some professors and classmates at Nanjing University, so maybe I can help you in the future. Let's exchange contact information."

Ning Yi nodded quickly and took out her phone to add Qiao Jiawei on WeChat.

At this moment, Qiao Jiawei suddenly remembered something, walked over to a plate of snacks not far away.

Qiao Jiawei first asked Ning Yi if she wanted some snacks, but Ning Yi didn't really want to eat anything at the moment, so she politely shook her head and said no.

Qiao Jiawei then brought the snacks to Cheng Qi and said, "Have some snacks to tide you over. You didn't have lunch, and drinking alcohol will make your stomach upset."

Holding his wine glass, Cheng Qi glanced at the woman holding the pastries, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, before replying calmly, "No need, it's alright."

Upon hearing the answer, Qiao Jiawei instantly became somewhat dejected, standing there looking like she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Ning Yi couldn't help but glance at Cheng Qi, secretly wondering to herself, "Does this man really have such a cold heart?"

Ji Yan, who was standing to the side, spoke up again: "Qi, Jiawei means well. You should eat something. Have you forgotten that you went to the hospital last time when you had a bad stomachache?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Nan chimed in, trying to smooth things over: "That's right, you really need to take better care of your health. You're always busy working and don't eat. Your health is the most important thing."

Fang Nan glanced at Qiao Jiawei, then continued to Cheng Qi, "Do you want someone to feed you by hand?"

Cheng Qi was somewhat helpless and had nothing to say, so he took the pastries from Qiao Jiawei's hand.

Ning Yi glanced at Ji Yan, who was not far away.

Despite his nonchalant demeanor, she knew how upset Ji Yan was.

She remembered that in the book, Ji Yan watched the woman he liked repeatedly showing meticulous care for other men, and that this had been going on for years.

He was already feeling terrible inside, but he always wanted to take care of the female lead's feelings and was helping her both openly and secretly for her sake.

That's why I really like the second male lead character. His love for the female lead is always silent; he's a warm, considerate person who asks for nothing in return.

"Small thoughtfulness"

Ning Anyuan walked over from a distance.

"Xiaoyi, let's go to Mom's and say hello to Uncle Zhang," Ning Anyuan said to Ning Yi.

Ning Yi nodded obediently, waved politely to them, and then followed Ning Anyuan away.

……

The banquet ended not long afterward. Because Gu Ai and the others were worried that Ning Yi's health couldn't handle it, they introduced her to their friends and chatted for a while before letting Ning Yi go home to rest early.

When Ningyi got home, she was about to go upstairs to rest when Aunt Lin called her back.

"Xiaoyi, I've made you some yam and white fungus soup. Have a bowl before you go upstairs to rest."

Aunt Lin is the Ning family's nanny and has worked there for ten years. She took care of Ning Yi before Ning Yi went abroad, and she has always known that Ning Yi's health has always been relatively poor.

Aunt Lin said kindly, "This will replenish your qi and blood. Xiao Yi, you should try it."

Ning Yi nodded and accepted the white fungus soup, replying, "Thank you, Aunt Lin."

Aunt Lin looked at Ning Yi and continued, "Tell me what you want to eat. Xiao Yi, you're too thin. You need to eat more to get some nutrition."

Ning Yi smiled, handed the empty bowl to Aunt Lin, and obediently replied, "Okay."

Then Ning Yi went upstairs to her room.
