Invitation

Zhou Yining woke up early in the morning.

She got out of bed unhurriedly, tidied up, and went downstairs to find a stall for breakfast.

Her place was right next to the school, making going to and from school very convenient.

Zhou Yining ordered a fried dough stick and a bowl of fried tofu.

She put a large spoonful of chili sauce into the fried tofu and ate it with the fried dough stick.

In the middle, she ran into several classmates.

Several people sat around a table, eating breakfast and chatting happily.

During morning self-study, Chen Yitong came to the class.

She stared at the students for a while as they read aloud, then told everyone to be quiet.

“The school will hold a sports meet this Saturday, but since you’re all seniors, you won’t participate in the formation drills.

Just participate in the various competitions.

On Saturday morning, the freshmen and sophomores will participate in the formation drill competition.

You guys will just stay here and study.

In the afternoon, the various competitions will begin.

Those who want to participate can sign up with the sports committee after class.

Those who don’t want to participate can go to the stands to watch the competitions,” Chen Yitong said with a smile.

“Yay! That’s great! We finally have time to relax.”

“But why do we still have to study in the morning?

That’s too bad.”

“What are you thinking?

It’s already good enough that you can rest in the afternoon.

You want to play for a whole day?”

“That’s right, that’s right.

Half a day off is better than a whole day of classes.”

Chen Yitong knocked on the podium.

“Quiet down, don’t be too happy too soon.

After the sports meet ends in the afternoon, evening self-study will continue as usual.”

“Ah? We still have to have self-study?”

“That’s right, Teacher, we’re too miserable.”

“Alright, stop whining.

You should be happy about having that half-day to relax.

Focus on your studies and continue with self-study,” Chen Yitong said.

The language representative then began to lead everyone in reciting the text.

After the first class, many people went to sign up for the sports meet events with the sports committee.

However, most of those who went were boys.

Among the girls, the enthusiasm was clearly not as high.

Many people didn’t want to participate in the competitions.

However, the number of spots was fixed, so the sports committee had no choice but to mobilize everyone one by one.

He had almost worn out his lips.

With great difficulty, he persuaded a few girls to sign up.

Soon, he made his way to Zhou Yining’s side.

“Zhou-jie, please help me.

No one is signing up for the running events.

Could you please sign up for one?

It doesn’t matter if you win.

Please, I’m begging everyone one by one,” the sports committee said, standing by Zhou Yining’s desk and talking non-stop.

Zhou Yining reluctantly took the registration form from his hand and looked at it.

She found that the less strenuous events, such as the long jump, shot put, and high jump, had basically been taken.

All that was left were the running events.

Zhou Yining quickly wrote her name on the shortest 100-meter dash.

The sports meet was about participation.

Running a short distance shouldn’t be a problem.

As for the 1500-meter, Zhou Yining didn’t plan to sign up for that.

“Here, it’s filled out,” Zhou Yining said, handing the form to the sports committee.

“Thank you, Zhou-jie. It’s too difficult, really too difficult.”

Leaving Zhou Yining’s desk, he continued to pester the other girls one by one, talking non-stop.

At noon, Zhou Yining called Jiang Xizhi.
The call was answered quickly.

“Do you want to come to my place for lunch?” Zhou Yining asked.

“Okay, then I’ll tell the driver not to wait for me.

I’ll see you at the school gate in a bit.”

“Okay, see you in a bit,” Zhou Yining said with a smile.

Zhou Yining walked to the school gate with Yu Yang and a few others.

From afar, Zhou Yining saw Jiang Xizhi.

She said hello to Yu Yang and the others, and then jogged towards Jiang Xizhi.

“Let’s go, let’s go eat first,” Zhou Yining said, running over and taking Jiang Xizhi’s hand.

Jiang Xizhi smiled sweetly at her and followed Zhou Yining.

Zhou Yining took Jiang Xizhi to a restaurant near the school.

The food here was reasonably priced.

After the two of them had lunch, Zhou Yining led Jiang Xizhi to her small apartment.

The buildings here were newly built, and the environment in the apartment complex was quite nice.

People and cars were separated.

Zhou Yining took Jiang Xizhi to the elevator, and then used her fingerprint to open the door.

“Come in. My place is a bit small, but it’s just right for me,” Zhou Yining said with a smile.

Jiang Xizhi entered, changed her shoes, and then looked around the apartment.

The entire apartment was basically one large room.

There was a bathroom to one side, and the entrance was set up as an open-concept small kitchen.

After that was the main room, which had a custom-made wardrobe and wooden table.

There was also a 1.5-meter bed.

In short, the space was arranged very reasonably.

“It’s pretty good.” To Jiang Xizhi, wherever Zhou Yining was, it was good.

“Go change your clothes. Let’s take a nap,” Zhou Yining said, taking a nightgown for Jiang Xizhi to change into.

She had bought it new last night and washed it once.

It was ready to wear now.

“Okay,” Jiang Xizhi said, taking the clothes to change.

After she changed, Zhou Yining went to change her clothes.

The bed wasn’t as soft as the one at home, “The mattress is really soft, I don’t know if you’ll be able to sleep on it.”

The young miss was delicate and soft-skinned, she wondered if she could get used to it.

“It’s okay, I can sleep anywhere. It is nice knowing Zhou Zhou is here too.

Seeing that the little fox was comfortable, Zhou Yining bent her eyes.

She looked down at Jiang Xizhi for a while, then heard a drowsy voice from her arms, “Aren’t you sleeping, Zhou Zhou? What are you looking at?”

Jiang Xizhi felt Zhou Yining’s gaze, but she was too sleepy and too lazy to open her eyes, so she nuzzled Zhou Yining’s shoulder and acted spoiled.

“Yeah, I’m going to sleep now,” Zhou Yining said, her eyes full of smiles.

The more she looked, the more she thought the little fox was cute.

She closed her eyes and took a nap with Jiang Xizhi.

The two of them didn’t get up until 1:50.

However, Zhou Yining’s place was very close to the school.

Zhou Yining and Jiang Xizhi packed up unhurriedly and left.

It was only 2:05.

Afternoon classes started at 2:20, so there was plenty of time.

Jiang Xizhi even got to sleep half an hour longer than if she had rested at home.

In the afternoon, when it was time to eat, Jiang Xizhi took the food that the servant had brought from home from the school gate and went back to class to eat.

While eating, she fiddled with her phone absentmindedly.

However, the person she was waiting for never sent her a message.

Jiang Xizhi didn’t want to go home tonight.

She wanted to be with Zhou Yining.

However, her clothes and other things were still at home.

Moreover, Zhou Zhou hadn’t invited her to come over.

She couldn’t just push herself to stay at her house.

After taking a few more bites of food, the young miss sighed deeply.

Until school was over in the evening, Jiang Xizhi didn’t receive a WeChat message from Zhou Yining.

The young miss could only go home in a sullen mood.

When she got home, Liang Jing was just around.

Seeing her coming back with a bitter face, she asked, “What’s wrong? Who bullied you?”

Jiang Xizhi shook her head.

She just wanted to go to Zhou Yining’s place.

Seeing that she didn’t speak, Liang Jing asked again, “Didn’t you go to Zhou Yining’s place for lunch? How’s her new home?”

“It’s pretty good,” Jiang Xizhi replied, then went upstairs.

Liang Jing looked at Jiang Xizhi’s back in confusion.

“What’s wrong with her? She was happy when she left this morning, why is she so listless now?”

Jiang Yueyi laughed.

“It’s obvious, it must be related to Zhou Yining.
They probably had another fight.”

“Really?” Liang Jing asked.

However, she thought there was some truth to it.

Her daughter used to talk about Zhang Ye all day long.

Now, it was like her Zhizhi had forgotten who Zhang Ye was.

All she had on her mind every day was Zhou Yining.

“What should we do? Should I go ask her?” Liang Jing said.

Jiang Yueyi shook her head with a smile.

“It’s their business.

Why are you interfering?

Zhizhi will think you’re nosy.”

“That’s true.” Liang Jing thought it made sense, so she didn’t go upstairs to find Jiang Xizhi.

Back in her room, Jiang Xizhi listlessly took a shower, then started studying.

She didn’t go to bed until almost 11:30, but she tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Even though her big bed was soft and comfortable, Jiang Xizhi still missed the bed she had slept on that afternoon.

She groaned and rolled around in the covers a few times.

After thinking about it for a long time, she finally grabbed her phone.

Jiang Xizhi: [Are you asleep, Zhou Zhou? (Cat peeking jpg)]

Zhou Yining had just laid down and was about to sleep.

However, when she saw the message from Jiang Xizhi, she quickly picked up her phone to reply.

Zhou Yining: [Not yet? I just laid down. What’s wrong? Can’t sleep? (Dog hugging jpg)]

Jiang Xizhi: [Yeah, the bed isn’t comfortable. It wasn’t as nice as the one I slept on at noon.]

After sending this message, Jiang Xizhi’s ears turned red.

She buried her face in the quilt, afraid to look at Zhou Yining’s reply.

Zhou Yining’s eyes curved slightly as she read the reply.

The little fox was hinting at her.

She shook her head with a smile, then continued typing.

Zhou Yining: [Then, do you want to move in and live with me?]

Anyway, Zhou Yining was living alone.

It didn’t matter if Jiang Xizhi came over.

She was just afraid that Jiang Xizhi’s family wouldn’t agree.

Jiang Xizhi: [Is it okay? Won’t it bother you? (Cat shy jpg)]

The smile on Zhou Yining’s face grew even wider.

She could imagine what the young miss looked like right now, with her red ears and shy expression.

She must be very cute.

Zhou Yining: [Of course it’s okay, it won’t bother me.]

Jiang Xizhi: [Okay, then I’ll pack my things in the morning and bring my luggage over at noon.]

Seeing this reply, Zhou Yining chuckled.

The little fox was really impatient.

Zhou Yining: [Okay, then I’ll wait for you. (Dog smiling jpg)]

After receiving Zhou Yining’s definite reply, Jiang Xizhi rolled around in the quilt a few more times in excitement.

The originally neat bed was messed up by her rolling around.

She was so excited that she wanted to start packing right away.

After looking at the chat log on her phone for a while, Jiang Xizhi finally fell asleep.

The next morning, she started packing her things.

Afraid of missing anything, she even called a servant to help her pack.

Liang Jing woke up early.

Seeing so much activity in Jiang Xizhi’s room, she went over curiously to take a look.

When she opened the door, Liang Jing saw her daughter packing her luggage.

“What’s going on here, Zhizhi?” Liang Jing asked.

Jiang Xizhi replied with a smile, “Mom, Zhou Zhou invited me to stay with her for a few days. I’m packing my luggage.”
