After being mixed together by Chen Mo, the white cream became colorful. Now, colorful cream was stuck to Chen Mo’s face and body.
“All!” Chen Mo couldn’t stand this outcome and screamed as she looked at the cream on her body.
Everyone quietened down and looked at Chen Mo with mockery and even whispered amongst themselves.
Chen Mo couldn’t hear what they were saying, but she could guess what they were saying. Because she had once stood in the crowd and mocked others as well, she knew very well what they were saying.
“Shut up! Shut up! Stop talking!” Chen Mo was going crazy and shouted at everyone.
Suddenly, a slap landed on her face. She finally calmed down and stared blankly at the person in front of her. It was her half-brother, Chen Chen.
A fierce look appeared in Chen Chen’s eyes as he said in embarra.s.sment, “Haven’t you embarra.s.sed yourself enough? Go home!”
Chen Mo looked at Chen Chen in fear and then at Shi Yi, who was protected the entire time and was completely fine. Then, tears flowed down her face.
Why was there always someone helping Shi Yi? Why was Shi Yi so detestable, but everything always went smoothly for her, while she was despised and mocked by everyone? Even her own family had never taken her seriously!
Chen Mo rushed towards Shi Yi like a lunatic. Just as she was about to attack, she was stopped by the person beside Shi Yi.
The man frowned. Perhaps his natural disposition of not wanting to be in conflict with others affected him, so he didn’t say anything harsh. He only advised, “Before the situation gets worse, go home first.”
After being stopped, Chen Mo finally calmed down. After she wiped the cream off her face and looked around at everyone’s expressions, she immediately felt ashamed and ran out with her head lowered.
After the farce ended, everyone became busy socializing, and the venue became noisy again.
Shi Yi had already taken off the suit jacket covering her head, but after seeing the owner of the suit jacket clearly, she was stunned and didn’t speak the entire time. She didn’t even react when Chen Mo rushed towards her. Her mind was filled with the owner of the suit jacket.
Finally, when the matter was over and Chen Mo left, Shi Yi looked at the person in front of her and called out his name with uncertainty, “Xu Zhi?”
Why would he be at such an occasion?
Shi Yi could clearly feel that Xu Zhi froze after hearing his name, which made Shi Yi even more certain that she didn’t recognize the wrong person.
The joy of seeing him again and the warmth of being protected by the person she liked actually gave Shi Yi an inexplicable sense of fear and avoidance in this current environment.
She had a guess in mind, a guess that she didn’t dare to face, but she didn’t have the courage to ask.
Just as the two of them were in a stalemate, Chen Chen walked over and said to Shi Yi politely, “Shi Yi, I’m sorry. My sister might have drunk a little too much today. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Shi Yi turned to look at Chen Chen in a daze and tried her best to smile.
Shi Yi went to the Chen family often to hang out with Chen Mo. Sometimes, she even stayed over, so she had a good relationship with Chen Mo’s brother, Chen Chen.
Compared to Shi Xiao, who always put on airs and was serious and strict, Chen Chen was more gentle and humorous. Shi Yi felt more like she was interacting with an older brother when she was with Chen Chen.
Therefore, in front of Chen Chen, Shi Yi forced a smile, in hopes that he wouldn’t take this matter to heart.
“Brother Chen Chen, I’m fine. Go do your work. Don’t worry about me.”
Chen Chen nodded and looked at Shi Yi worriedly before leaving.
Meanwhile, Xu Zhi had been standing beside Shi Yi, observing every subtle change in her expression.
His heart ached. The two of them met in such a way and revealed their ident.i.ties in such a way. There was no foreshadowing or preparation at all. They tried so hard to get close, but as if they were isolated by the mountains and seas, they were powerless in this situation and couldn’t approach each other..
