Chapter 59 creates a strange and endearing contrast.
Chapter 59 creates a strange and endearing contrast.
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! For just 50 yuan, I got my things back and saved face at the same time.
That emotional intelligence, that skill, that willingness to spend money... well, definitely a respectable person!
This student, Yun Yiyi, usually has a cool and aloof demeanor in class, keeping to herself and speaking very little.
There are probably only a handful of people in the entire Beijing Film Academy who would personally run errands to return something for someone as aloof and sophisticated as her.
Moreover, this series of shrewd moves clearly shows that she has figured out Yun Yiyi's temperament... She responds better to gentleness than force; if you're direct with her, she won't listen to you, but if you take a roundabout approach, she'll cooperate.
Shen Li didn't ask any more questions. He knew a principle well: don't ask about things you shouldn't, especially about a cold and aloof woman like Yun Yiyi.
If someone is willing to talk, they will naturally tell you. If they are not willing to talk, asking is pointless and will only make you look like a busybody.
"Okay, I received the things. I'll give them to her when she arrives." Shen Li put the tissues away, her face still bearing that harmless smile. "Yun Yiyi, would you like to sit here and wait? Or...?"
"Need not."
Yun Yiyi stood up, her pencil skirt riding up slightly with the movement, revealing more of her thighs encased in black stockings. The barely visible edges of her stockings gleamed faintly under the light. "That's enough that the goods have been delivered. I'm leaving."
After saying that, she turned around and walked away in her high heels, clicking away.
The figure from behind had broad shoulders, a slim waist, and a pert bottom. Her peach-shaped buttocks, accentuated by her bodycon skirt, swayed gracefully with each step. Her long, straight legs, encased in black stockings, gleamed alluringly under the lights.
Shen Li watched her disappear through the reading room door, then looked down at the expensive pack of tissues in her hand, a playful smile playing on her lips.
"That's interesting."
A pack of tissues, 50 yuan delivery fee.
What is the relationship between "I don't want to go out today" who placed the order and Yun Yiyi who came to pick it up? Friends? Best friends? Or...?
He took out his phone and sent a message to "I Don't Want to Go Out Today": "Your friend Yun Yiyi has come by and I received the items. Please come and pick them up."
The other party replied instantly: "Okay, okay! Thank you so much, delivery guy! I'll be right there! [heart][heart]"
Shen Li put down her phone, leaned back, and began to plan.
He had observed Yun Yiyi in the class quite a few times during the first month of school.
She's aloof, genuinely aloof. It's not the kind of feigned "pretentiousness," but a deep-seated detachment.
He never chatted with anyone during class, left immediately after class, and never participated in any activities organized by the class.
The time she sang "Katyusha" in her vocal lesson was the only time she showed "emotional fluctuations".
Such people are either genuinely socially anxious or have a story to tell.
Today, she came to pick up something for someone. Although she remained aloof throughout, Shen Li noticed a detail... When she sat down, her eyes swept over the pack of tissues, and a hint of indescribable emotion flashed across her face.
It wasn't disdain, nor impatience, but rather... how to put it, it was a bit like helplessness, and a bit like indulgence.
"These two have a complicated relationship." Shen Li stroked her chin.
Just as I was pondering this, another figure appeared at the entrance of the reading room.
Shen Li looked up and saw that this "I don't want to go out today" was a completely different type from Yun Yiyi.
A girl rushed in, wearing a loose sweatshirt, sweatpants, and canvas shoes.
Her hair was casually tied into a bun, and she wasn't wearing any makeup, just a bare face, but her skin was so smooth it looked like it could be pinched to release moisture. Her features were delicate, and her eyes and brows had a lively and spirited quality.
As for her figure... the hoodie was loose, so you couldn't see the specifics of her upper body, but she had a good foundation. As she walked, the hem of the hoodie swayed, and you could vaguely see her slender waist.
The legs, encased in sweatpants, were straight and long, and the round, perky curves of her buttocks were still clearly visible under the loose fabric.
She exudes an air of "unpretentious yet naturally beautiful," which contrasts sharply with Yun Yiyi's sophisticated and aloof demeanor.
She glanced around and spotted Shen Li. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly walked over.
"Hello, hello! You must be the delivery guy who took my order?" Her voice was clear and cheerful, with a touch of familiarity. "I'm 'I Don't Want to Go Out Today,' Song Qian. Qian as in 'Qiancao' (蒨草, meaning 'grass')."
Shen Li sized up the other person, mentally labeling Song Qian.
She may not have a glamorous appearance, but she has a solid foundation; her hoodie and sweatpants can't hide her curvaceous figure.
She speaks with the straightforwardness of someone from the alleyways, a stark contrast to Yun Yiyi's aloof and unapproachable demeanor.
Could these two become friends? Or is there some other relationship? One is meticulous down to the last hair, while the other is so casual that he goes out in slippers.
This combination is even more sinister than his relationship with Jing Yang.
"Hello, Senior Song Qian." Shen Li immediately switched to "harmless junior" mode, his face plastered with his signature innocent smile, and he offered the pack of luxury tissues with both hands. "Here it is, please keep it safe."
Song Qian took the tissue and casually stuffed it into her hoodie pocket, her movements as carefree as if she were carrying a bag of spicy strips.
Then he plopped down opposite Shen Li, crossing his legs. His sweatpants were taut, and the curves of his thighs were faintly visible, round and full, exuding power.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir." She took out her phone. "I'll confirm receipt now and give you a five-star review."
"Okay, thanks, senior."
Shen Li looked happily at the 50 yuan that had been deposited into her account on the app, but kept talking.
"Senior, your errand fee was well worth it. 50 yuan for a seat, company, and even to host your friend. Excellent value for money."
Song Qian chuckled, revealing a set of neat white teeth.
Her smile, with her eyes crinkling and her expression lively and vibrant, created a strangely endearing contrast with her unkempt appearance.
"You've got a knack for business. What's your name again? Shen Li?"
She swiped her finger across the phone screen. "I see you have quite a few orders: reserving seats, delivering water, picking up packages... your business scope is pretty wide."
"Hey, it's just part-time work to support myself while studying."
Shen Li appeared humble, but in her heart she was calculating: this senior student seemed casual, but her eyes revealed a shrewdness.
Someone who can casually spend 50 yuan to have someone pick up a pack of tissues for them is definitely not someone to be trifled with.
"Senior, are you and Yun Yiyi... friends?" he asked tentatively, his tone as casual as if he were talking about the weather.
Song Qian glanced at him, a slight smile playing on her lips: "What? Curious?"
"A little." Shen Li nodded honestly, his "honest junior" expression remaining unchanged.
"Yun Yiyi is usually quite...quite quiet in class, and doesn't interact with many people. I didn't expect her to be so close to you, even running errands for you."
Song Qian leaned back, and the neckline of her hoodie opened slightly, revealing a section of her delicate collarbone and a patch of fair and smooth skin.
Although she wasn't wearing makeup, her skin was surprisingly good—fair, rosy, and flawless.
