One day later.

At He Jingyao's invitation, Li Zhen accompanied him to a fundraising dinner for a charity.

Originally, Li Zhen had no interest in such charitable organizations, but He Jingyao told her that this dinner party was not simple.

It will be of great benefit to her.

Li Zhen came to the banquet purely out of curiosity.

Whether in her previous life or this one, she has never attended any banquets hosted by charitable organizations.

In her previous life, she only knew one charitable organization that was genuinely doing practical things; the rest were all fake charities that were just putting on a show.

Therefore, she particularly disliked donating money to various charities at that time.

Li Zhen felt that donating money to those so-called organizations was not as good as sending the money directly to those in need.

People donate money to those organizations, but by the time it reaches the people who really need it, they may only have a pittance left.

The lion's share all ended up in the hands of certain philanthropists and corrupt officials.

In this life, Li Zhen believes that if she is to donate money, she must personally deliver the donations to those in need so that she can feel at ease.

"He Jingyao, are you planning to donate today?"

On the way to the charity gala, Li Zhen asked He Jingyao curiously.

Currently, He Jingyao is the only friend she is very close to in Kyoto.

That's why Li Zhen accepted He Jingyao's invitation without hesitation as soon as he contacted her.

"Since I'm going to the banquet in person, I'll definitely have to donate then."

He Jingyao's expression didn't change much, his gaze remaining ambiguously fixed on Li Zhen.

He Jingyao and Li Zhen were both sitting in the back of the car. They were already quite close, and the pleasant fragrance emanating from Li Zhen would occasionally waft into his nose.

This ambiguous, neither-too-close, yet-at-a-time atmosphere was the most fatal thing for He Jingyao.

Especially that subtle yet alluring fragrance.

He Jingyao really wanted to take the opportunity to put his arm around Li Zhen's shoulder several times.

Li Zhen also seemed to feel He Jingyao's intimacy in a one-on-one setting.

And his arm, which was always draped behind her seat, constantly reminded Li Zhen that there was "someone" behind her.

"what about me?"

Li Zhen coughed lightly and deliberately asked a question.

"You can donate or not."

"why?"

"Because you're my date!"

"What kind of logic is that? Doesn't your female companion need to donate?"

"Well, it's not that you don't have to donate, but you can have your name displayed alongside mine, even if you don't donate a single penny."

"Oh? This makes it seem like we're a married couple."

"Hehe, I'm not sure now, but who knows what will happen in the future."

He Jingyao raised the corners of his mouth and smiled smugly.

"So, all along you've been coveting me and spying on me?"

"Oh, no, no, I didn't."

"You bastard, you still won't admit it!"

"Well, how should I put it..."

"What are you talking about? Honestly, were you already having impure thoughts about me the first time you saw me?"

"Ah, I...I didn't..."

He Jingyao's stammering answer was clearly unbelievable.

"Humph!"

Still stubbornly refusing to admit it!

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to, I had no choice..."

"Humph!"

"...Actually, I know you're surrounded by excellent men, and several handsome guys have been silently protecting you, but... what difference would one more make?"

"what?"

"Li Zhen, will you be my girlfriend?"

"This... is too sudden!"

Li Zhen felt that she was still a little unprepared.

Although she and He Jingyao had known each other for some time.

During this time, the two of them got along quite well.

However, He Jingyao is different from other men; he is somewhat fickle.

One minute he's aloof, the next he's goofy.

He's like the weather in winter, unpredictable and unpredictable.

When He Jingyao is silent, it's a matter of personality.

When they speak, they reveal a completely different personality.

You can imagine it.

When a handsome guy is standing in front of you and doesn't say anything, you feel that he is unapproachable.

However, once he starts talking, you'll find that he's actually just a goofy and silly guy.

You'd probably say, "Oh, isn't that interesting?"

Yes, He Jingyao is indeed a very interesting man.

It's precisely because he's so interesting that this isn't good.

He easily steals the favor and spotlight from others.

In addition, he can be quite sharp-tongued at times.

Most men would have a hard time winning an argument with him.

In short, He Jingyao is an eye-catching presence.

He has both unique and distinctive characteristics that others don't possess.

"It's not sudden. If you don't agree today, I'll come back to you tomorrow until you do."

He Jingyao didn't seem afraid at all that Li Zhen would be angry.

Perhaps he knew that Li Zhen wouldn't be angry with him.

"You have that kind of perseverance? I don't really believe it..."

"Tomorrow will come, and you'll see if I have the willpower."

"Ha, alright, we'll see about that!"

Just you wait!

"..."

After half an hour.

The banquet hall of a certain luxury hotel.

By this time, most of the guests had arrived.

When Li Zhen and He Jingyao arrived, their beautiful appearance and handsome appearance stunned the entire audience.

"Oh oh oh."

"welcome!"

"Beautiful ladies and handsome gentlemen, welcome!"

The two greeters invited by the organizers immediately went to greet Li Zhen and He Jingyao warmly upon seeing them.

Enthusiastic words followed.

"This way, please, both of you, have a seat here!"

Li Zhen and He Jingyao were led to sit down at the table in the middle of the first row.

"Please wait a moment, everyone. Our banquet tonight is about to begin."

"OK, all right."

Li Zhen and He Jingyao exchanged a glance, then both waved to the staff with smiles on their faces.

Li Zhen toyed with the wine glass in her hand, then looked around with her eyes.

After looking around, she finally realized something was wrong.

Because the seats she and He Jingyao were currently sitting in seemed to be the best, center position in the entire venue.

Does that mean that both she and He Jingyao have to donate money tonight?

Li Zhen gave a wry smile, her face showing utter despair.

Oops!

It seems she'll have to show some real skill tonight.

However, the exact amount she will donate will depend on her mood at the time.

If she's in a good mood, she can donate more; if she's in a bad mood, well, don't blame her for being stingy.

As soon as Li Zhen thought this to herself, she instantly felt much better.

It's not that bad.
