Love So Sweet

196 Hello, Sister Fang

Fang Su Jin was shocked, thinking that Zhang Yi Hai was bullying that poor boy.

It was later that she found out that Zhang Yi Hai was out with a bunch of his friends and this boy was one of his roommates.

Turned out that Zhang Yi Hai and his friends were in the middle of queuing up for ice cream from the very beginning. However, Zhang Yi Hai stepped away for a few minutes to get something from the convenience store.

When he returned, he ran into Fang Su Jin who was queuing at the end. This was how Fang Su Jin came to join Zhang Yi Hai and his friends for ice creams.

The atmosphere turned a little strange.

Fang Su Jin poked at her ice creams with her spoon, feeling slightly uncomfortable by the boys’ curious gaze on her.

However, Zhang Yi Hai was too busy enjoying the taste of his raspberry-rippled ice cream to notice anything. It wasn’t until Tang Yin nudged him in his arms that he finally looked up.

Seeing that the boys were gesturing toward Fang Su Jin, Zhang Yi Hai was finally aware that his roommates were curious about the girl.

He put down his ice cream cup on the table and spoke, “Everyone, this is Sister Fang. My sister’s friend.” He turned to Fang Su Jin and continued, “Sister Fang, these two boys are my roommates. Tang Yin and Liu Jun.”

.....

The boys raised their hands and gave Fang Su Jin a tiny wave. “Hello, Sister Fang.”

“You don’t have to mind them,” Zhang Yi Hai spoke to Fang Su Jin. “They’re not that scary.”

Fang Su Jin turned to the boys to greet them. Both of them looked very innocent. Then, her gaze shifted to Zhang Yi Hai again.

The scariest one around should be Zhang Yi Hai, right?

Zhang Yi Hai gestured towards the counter where a few staff were busy taking orders from the customers. He pointed to the skinny boy who was scooping some ice creams for the customer and spoke, “That one is our roommate, Ji Luo Jian. It’s his first week working part-time at this ice cream shop. The three of us decided to come over as support.”

Fang Su Jin pursed her lips.

In the beginning, she had thought that it was a little strange for the three men to go out together to have ice creams. It turned out that they came to support their friends.

Zhang Yi Hai placed the paper cup on the table once he finished his ice cream. He turned to Fang Su Jin again and asked, “Sister Fang, where are you heading next?”

“I should head back to the hotel.”

“You’re staying at our family hotel?”

Fang Su Jin nodded.

Perhaps, because she was friends with Zhang Li Xue, Fang Su Jin would often stay at the Orchid Hotel whenever she can.

“Sister Fang,” Liu Jin spoke, “If you don’t have anything planned, why don’t you come over with us? Out classmates were planning to get together to sing.”

“That’s right,” Tang Yin agreed. “Sister Fang, you should join us as well. The more, the merrier.”

Zhang Yi Hai shot a displeased look at his friends. His eyes were silently warning his roommates not to have any improper thoughts toward Fang Su Jin. “Don’t talk nonsense. She doesn’t have that much free time.”

Seeing the way the two boys immediately zipped their lips made Fang Su Jin pity them.

She wondered just how much Zhang Yi Hai’s roommates will have to suffer from staying in the same room as him.

Fortunately, it did not take Fang Su Jin a long time to finish her ice cream. She looked at Zhang Yi Hai and hesitated. “That... Thank you for the ice cream. I should go back to the hotel.”

Tang Yin and Liu Jin both looked disappointed that Fang Su Jin would be unable to join them to have fun.

Zhang Yi Hai stood up and turned to his roommates, “Tang Yin, I won’t be joining you guys at the KTV. You guys should go ahead and have fun.”

“Why not?” Liu Jin asked. “Where are you going? Zhang Yi Hai, it wouldn’t be fun without you around.”

Zhang Yi Hai glanced at Fang Su Jin again. “I’m going to send Sister Fang back.”

“You don’t need to,” Fang Su Jin quickly spoke. “Yi Hai, you go ahead and join your friends. I will be fine. The hotel isn’t very far from here.”

“Sister Fang, I also have some matters to do at the hotel,” Zhang Yi Hai said.

Fang Su Jin knew that the Zhang siblings had frequently visited their hotels and learned to manage them from an early age. Therefore, she did not find it strange to hear that Zhang Yi Hai had some business at the hotel.

“Zhang Yi Hai, are you really not coming?” Tang Yin asked.

“Then, just text me the place. Once I’m done with my business, I will come over to join everyone else.”

Instantly, both Tang Yin and Liu Jin had a smile on their faces.

Zhang Yi Hai was quite popular among the girls on campus. The two of them were already thinking of attracting girls using Zhang Yi Hai’s popularity.

After a while the group parted.

Fang Su Jin had thought that she could finally relax after she parted from Zhang Yi Hai. Unexpectedly, this man was heading to the hotel as well.

The two of them walked side by side on the pedestrian walk.

Fang Su Jin glanced at the man beside her and saw that Zhang Yi Hai was tapping his fingers on his phone. After a while, the man looked up and spoke, “I already called for someone to pick us up. He should be arriving soon.”

“Oh.” Fang Su Jin nodded. “Thank you.”

The atmosphere between them turned quiet again.

Fang Su Jin trailed after Zhang Yi hai and wondered if she should be checking her almanac before heading out next time.

Out of all people, why would she run into Zhang Yi Hai?

“Sister Fang, you mentioned an exhibition just now.”

Zhang Yi Hai’s words snapped out of her trance. Seeing that Zhang Yi Hai was looking at her, Fang Su Jin quickly nodded. “Uh-huh.”

“When will the exhibition begin?”

“This Monday at the West Art Galleria. That’s right. If you’re free, you should come over with your friends as well.”

“We’ll see.”

Her lips turned into a faint smile. Of course, Fang Su Jin was not really inviting him. However, she will never expect that Zhang Yi Hai to really come to her exhibition with his friends.

Moreover, the people that Zhang Yi Hai had invited to come to her exhibition were not just ordinary people...
