Adored by Him: My Blissful Days as the Girl Next Door Chapter 350 - 349: Shi Yang Inspects the Posts

During the break, Zhao ii dragged Peng Hui and Qian Sing to the school supermarket to buy a band-aid.

Peng Hui joked while applying it, "Your brother’s teeth are pretty sharp!"

Zhao ii lifted her thin eyelids and retorted, "My brother cherishes ."

Peng Hui rolled her eyes and teased, "Zhao ii, you’re shaless!"

Zhao ii asked, "Is it on properly?"

Peng Hui pressed it down, "All set."

Zhao ii imdiately betrayed her, reaching out to pinch Peng Hui’s ticklish spot, "You’ve got so nerve! ngng, help hold her down. I must peel off her disguise today!"

The group dissolved into laughter and teasing, when soone from afar called out, "ii!"

Zhao ii looked in the direction of the voice and saw Dong Wenjie jogging over.

Ever since he received the call from Zhao ii’s brother yesterday afternoon, Dong Wenjie had been restless. He originally wanted to get closer to Zhao ii, hoping she’d understand him better, and slowly transition from being friends to lovers.

Unexpectedly, Zhao ii always saw him as a regular friend, never giving him any chance to be alone with her, just maintaining a casual friendship.

However, yesterday, her brother casually ntioned on the phone that Zhao ii often talked about him at ho. Dong Wenjie was overjoyed, tossing and turning with excitent, unable to sleep all night thinking about it.

Zhao ii was very cheerful, but when it ca to relationships, she was very reserved, always claiming to have a boyfriend. Dong Wenjie had never believed it from the start, so after she ntioned it once, he never bothered to ask again.

Dong Wenjie didn’t believe Zhao ii had a boyfriend because he never saw Zhao ii close with any guy.

So, after thinking it over all night, he decided to have a proper talk with Zhao ii.

Dong Wenjie approached with a gentle smile and said to Zhao ii, "I went to your class just now and heard you guys were at the supermarket."

Zhao ii was a bit surprised, "Looking for ?"

Dong Wenjie smiled, "Yeah, I wanted to talk about sothing. There’s not enough ti now. How about you wait for for a bit after school at noon, okay? I’ll et you outside your dorm."

Zhao ii nodded in agreent, "Okay."

During college, Shi Yang only visited Zhao ii’s school once on the registration day to help her with the procedures. This ti, he squeezed in a visit amidst his busy schedule specifically to et this Dong Wenjie, a guy who seed to have a decent eye.

Shi Yang was always calm and composed, handling things with grace, so last night, he only subtly reminded Zhao ii.

When it ca to Zhao ii’s matters, Shi Yang was extra sensitive and ticulous, ensuring to achieve his goals step by step. This ti was no exception.

When Shi Yang decided to visit Zhao ii, he called beforehand to tell her he wanted to invite her, Peng Hui, and Qian Sing out for a al, to treat the two struggling dormmates. A mature man doesn’t spy from behind.

Shi Yang wore a neat casual suit and styled his hair himself, quickly catching the attention of many students as he walked from the school gate to the dormitory.

Knowing Shi Yang was coming, Zhao ii hurried out of the classroom as soon as school was over at noon, rushing to et him at the dormitory.

When Zhao ii returned to the dormitory entrance, Dong Wenjie was already waiting. From afar, he saw Zhao ii and her friends hurrying back, feeling a thrill of excitent, he quickly moved forward to et them.

"ii!" Dong Wenjie greeted warmly, "Why are you running so fast? I’m not in a rush."

Seeing Dong Wenjie, Zhao ii rembered their earlier arrangent and quickly asked, "Oh right, you wanted to talk to about sothing?"

Dong Wenjie glanced at Peng Hui and Qian Sing standing aside and said, "I want to talk to you alone."

Peng Hui and Qian Sing were originally eager to return to the dorm to change clothes and get their things, so they quickly made a polite excuse and headed inside.

Zhao ii didn’t need to get anything, so she followed Dong Wenjie to the side of the hallway, facing him.

Zhao ii asked, "Go ahead, what did you want to talk about?"

Zhao ii deliberately faced the entrance while talking to Dong Wenjie, sneaking glances at the hallway in fear that Shi Yang would arrive and not find her.

Dong Wenjie handed the shopping bag he was holding to Zhao ii.

Zhao ii took it, "What is it?"

Inside the shopping bag was a beautifully wrapped gift box. Zhao ii asked, "For ? It’s not a holiday, why are you giving this? My birthday’s in the twelfth lunar month. It’s still far away."

Dong Wenjie said, "I bought it especially for you. See if you like it."

Zhao ii amusedly took out the gift box, unwrapping it as she said, "Wow, fancy packaging. Is that necessary?"

Dong Wenjie could tell from her words that she didn’t consider him an outsider, so his initially nervous mood eased a little.

Dong Wenjie’s eyes curved into crescents, "It makes it seem more sincere."

Zhao ii paused while unwrapping, looking up at Dong Wenjie in surprise.

As their eyes t, Zhao ii felt an inexplicable jolt. She glanced at the gift in her hand, then at Dong Wenjie’s affectionate gaze... uh...

Zhao ii wasn’t oblivious. Dong Wenjie’s intentions were so obvious that anyone could see them. How could Zhao ii not notice?

In her mind, Shi Yang’s words from last night flashed by, and she couldn’t help but feel alard for the first ti, reevaluating this seemingly harmless friend standing before her.

For Zhao ii, there were only five categories of relationships with the opposite sex: her lover Shi Yang, her father, bros, casual friends, and strangers.

Looking at Dong Wenjie’s gentle, smiling face, Zhao ii pondered how she might have led him to misunderstand and think he could move out of the casual friend category?

Zhao ii crossed her arms, shoved the gift back into the shopping bag, and threw it back to Dong Wenjie like it was a bomb, "I can’t accept this. I..."

"ii!" Zhao ii looked up and saw Shi Yang walking over from the corridor in front of the dormitory. She imdiately sidestepped Dong Wenjie and took two steps forward, calling out, "Brother."

Zhao ii, usually quick-witted, was caught off guard seeing Shi Yang just after realizing Dong Wenjie’s feelings. She suddenly felt like she’d been... caught.

She awkwardly looked at Shi Yang, feeling very guilty.
