Chapter 215 If We Had Been Together Already③
The few people who came after him a step later said in unison.

"Do you know each other?"

Shen Zhiyi was already surprised to see Pei Yu suddenly, and then seeing these unfamiliar faces, she felt a little uncomfortable and looked at Pei Yu.

Pei Yu was too lazy to explain, "If you don't want to sit down, leave."

He reached out and pulled out a chair, sat down next to Shen Zhiyi, and saw the hem of her snow-white skirt.

Seeing this, several people sat down one after another. The empty table was instantly filled with people, and more people looked over here.

Being stared at by them, Shen Zhiyi felt confused and turned her gaze to Pei Yu. After all, he was the only one she knew here.

Pei Yu raised his glass, took a sip, narrowed his eyes slightly, and misunderstood her meaning, "Want to drink?"

"No," she pursed her lips, "I just want to try it."

She thought the wine must be expensive, so she wanted to try it.

"It tastes terrible," Pei Yu said casually, and asked her for a glass of juice. "Drink this."

Why drink alcohol when you are so young?

His posture was natural, as if the two of them were very good friends.

Seeing that he had no intention of explaining the situation, Qin Fang had no choice but to ask about his doubts. After a few minutes, he finally figured out the situation.

"What a coincidence."

With Qin Fang and Qin Xiaoran around, there wasn't a dull moment, and after chatting for a while everyone became familiar with each other.

"You go to the same school as us, and maybe you're in the same class as Xiaoran." Qin Fang thought it was such a coincidence.

"The shift schedule should be out," Qin Xiaoran liked Shen Zhiyi very much and said directly, "I'll have someone take a look. If we're not in the same shift, we can be transferred together."

Shen Zhiyi smiled at her.

She was taken good care of by the Shen family for several months. Her injuries had healed, and she had gained some weight. She was no longer so thin. Her cheeks were a little fleshy, and her face was rosy and rosy, which was a clean, soft and beautiful look. When she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were as cold as ice, making people feel that she had a good temper.

Pei Yu looked at him calmly out of the corner of his eye, feeling slightly satisfied.

"Add a contact number," Qin Xiaoran handed over the phone. Because they were far away, she handed the phone to Pei Yu first, "Brother Pei Yu, give it to her for me."

Pei Yu lowered his head and glanced at her pink phone case, then took out his own from his coat pocket and handed it to her first.

Several people stared with eyes wide open.

Only Shen Zhiyi was unaware of anything. He added him first and then Qin Xiaoran.

She has had this phone for a few months, and this is the first time she has added someone else's contact information besides her adoptive parents. It's a good start.

She curved her eyes slightly and handed the phone back to him. Their fingertips touched. The boy's long eyelashes trembled slightly and he narrowed his eyes inexplicably.

Pei Yu's action left the others puzzled. Qin Fang and Fu Songzhi looked at each other and exchanged contact information with Shen Zhiyi.

Many people were surprised to see that several gifted sons of heaven had a pleasant conversation with an adopted daughter who appeared from a corner.

Pei's father introduced a business partner to Pei Yu and asked casually, "What's the situation with that adopted daughter?"

He didn't care about these things, but he thought Pei Yu's behavior was a little strange.

"I don't know," Pei Yu said coldly, as if impatient, "Qin Xiaoran has a good relationship with her."

Qin Xiaoran loves making friends and has a pretty good relationship with Pei Yu. With her around, Pei Yu wouldn't offend her. Pei's father nodded when he heard this and didn't pay too much attention to the matter.

The banquet ended in the evening. Shen Zhiyi was waiting in the corner for his adoptive parents to come. He saw Pei Yu walking towards him. There was a middle-aged man next to him, who should be his father.

She blinked and wanted to say hello when he came closer, but Pei Yu glanced at her coldly and looked away, as if he didn't know her at all.

She was a little stunned. The Shen family's villa was next to the Qin family's, not far away. In the car, Shen's father asked casually, "I heard you made a few new friends?"

Shen Zhiyi hummed softly.

Her adoptive parents were kind to her, but they treated her like a guest, not a daughter.

"The young masters are all gifted children. It's a good thing to be on good terms with them, especially... Pei Yu, how is your relationship?"

Shen Zhiyi thought of that cold look and shook his head, "We just said a few words."

The Shen couple didn't ask any more questions.

Back in the spacious and bright bedroom, Shen Zhiyi washed up and lay on the bed, chatting with Qin Xiaoran and listening to her introduction of the school's curriculum. It was an international private middle school, and the junior high and high school departments were on the same campus. For Qin Xiaoran, going to higher education was just a matter of changing buildings.

"Qin Fang's classroom is right next to our building. We can go to his place to get snacks later. Many girls gave him food, so we don't have to buy any. But Pei Yu received more gifts, but I don't dare to ask him for them."

Pei Yu... Shen Zhiyi wanted the boy's delicate eyebrows and cold eyes, and felt that this person was very complicated.

She held the phone in her hand, unconsciously becoming dazed until the phone rang.

Shen Zhiyi took a look and sat up.

It’s Pei Yu.

She was a little nervous for no apparent reason. "Hello?"

Pei Yu's voice was also a little cold, just like him, "Are you angry with me?"

It was very quiet over there, and although his tone was light, it somehow made people feel gentle.

Shen Zhiyi touched his earlobe, not knowing how to answer, "...No."

But I'm not in a very good mood either.

Pei Yu seemed to smile, and made a faint sound. "I thought you might misunderstand, so let me explain to you that my friendships are very strictly controlled, so if you want to make friends with me, you will probably have to be sneaky."

He asked in a low voice, "Why, do you still want to be friends with me?"

Shen Zhiyi was stunned. They didn't spend much time together, so were they already friends?

She didn't answer for too long. Pei Yu was not a patient person. He frowned slightly and called her name, "Shen Zhiyi, are you going to be so cruel to me?"

Shen Zhiyi laughed for no reason.

"No," she cleared her throat, "I was just daydreaming."

The boy picked on her faults again and asked calmly, "Why are you in a daze while chatting with me?"

Shen Zhiyi thought, it's because of you that I was in a daze.

She had a good temper, and thinking of the help he had given her, she said in a soft voice, "No, I...I didn't expect you to explain to me."

Even if his attitude was fickle, Shen Zhiyi would not actually ask.

Pei Yu was silent for a while, then changed the subject, "How do your adoptive parents treat you?"

Both Mr. and Mrs. Shen are smart people.

"It's fine," Shen Zhiyi said softly, "I've been doing really well recently."

It has never been so easy.

"It's just the beginning," Pei Yu said in a low voice, "You will get better and better."

Shen Zhiyi just thought it was a blessing to herself and smiled, "Thank you."

That night, she chatted with Qin Xiaoran intermittently until very late. Thinking of what she said about them and Pei Yu being in the same school, she began to look forward to her upcoming campus life.
