There was a flash of surprise and astonishment in her starry eyes. She stood there, lost in thought for a long time.
Surprisingly... it was him.
"Yu'er, look! It's him!" Qi Jinnian was so excited that he seemed to have met his idol. "He's the Vice President Yu I told you about last time."
Jing Yu came back to his senses.
The man walked over on the red carpet, waving to the people on both sides. Although he was young, he was calm and decisive, and his demeanor in every move made people look sideways. But Jing Yu never expected that this man was actually the vice president of their country.
Thinking back now, she thought it was ridiculous that he was a gangster. No wonder he once said that his world had been filled with blood and gore since he became an adult, and that the political path was never bright.
"Yu'er, why are you in a daze?" Qi Jinnian didn't know what she was thinking at the moment, so he just pulled her aside and asked, "How is it? Is he handsome? Compared with President Bai, the two of them are completely on par, right?"
Jing Yu was absent-minded and did not respond. At this time, they saw the pedestrians walking towards them. Although the people were enthusiastic, they were still rational and no one rushed forward.
He smiled and greeted her, his demeanor radiant. His eyes wandered in her direction, but he didn't stay for even a second before passing by. It was as if he didn't notice her existence, or even if he did, her existence was nothing special to him.
Qi Jinnian stamped his feet in frustration, "I thought he would see us! I waved so hard, but it was all in vain."
"Come on, he's the vice president, not a celebrity." Jing Yu couldn't help but hold down her hand, which was still waving desperately, "He's gone, you can't see him even if you break your arm."
"You're not disappointed?"
"Why should I be disappointed?" Jing Yu was silent for a moment, and then added in a low voice: "I don't like him."
"Yes, you don't like anyone except Liang Shengyi."
She suddenly mentioned Liang Shengyi, and Jingyu's heart still hurt a little. Qi Jinnian suddenly realized that he shouldn't have mentioned this, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, Yu'er, I didn't mean to mention this."
Jing Yu shook his head and twitched his lips, "It's okay. It doesn't matter."

At this moment.
On the other side of the square, on the busy street, Wen Yanzhi's car was parked in front of a cake shop. He had no interest in sweets and never understood why anyone would like something so sweet that it made him sick. However, there was no parking space in the entire square, and only this one was left.
He pushed open the car door and got out. In order not to be chased away by the cake shop owner, he walked in and wanted to buy a cake just to show off.
"Welcome." He just stepped in, and along with the warm air came a clear young man's voice.
This sound…
He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked towards the counter, his charming eyes brightening up a bit.
The boy was wearing a dark blue pullover with an apron on the front. He had a white cake hat on his head and had pulled all his hair inside, revealing his smooth and beautiful forehead. He looked even fresher and younger, as if the sun had just risen.
As expected, being young is good! This look is so pleasing to the eye no matter how you style it.
Wen Yanzhi sighed.
Jing Rong was packing the cake for the customer in front of him. When he didn't hear a response, he raised his head suspiciously. When he saw the person coming, he was slightly surprised for a moment. But he didn't say anything, just handed the cake to the customer in front of him, "Please take it. Welcome to come again next time."
The boy, who had already passed the voice change period, still had a clear and pleasant voice and was polite. He made the girl carrying the cake very happy and blushed, and she said she would come again next time.
"Tsk~" Wen Yanzhi leaned crookedly on the counter, looked back at the girl who had left, and then glanced back at Jing Rong, with a hint of amusement in his charming eyes, "Last time I saw you, I thought you were a taciturn person, but it turns out you are so good at coaxing girls."
Jing Rong didn't respond, but just asked: "What do you want to buy?"
Wen Yanzhi was disappointed to see that he was not willing to continue his conversation. He pointed at them casually and said, "Take whichever one you like."
Jing Rong bent over and took out a soufflé. Wen Yanzhi held his chin with one hand and asked with a smile, "Why do you like such feminine... no, girlish things?"
Jing Rong did not respond, but skillfully took out a cake box and packed it. Wen Yanzhi did not get an answer again, and was very embarrassed. He could only talk to himself to ease the atmosphere, "Yes, she is so delicate and tender, just like a little girl, it is reasonable for her to like these things."
Jing Rong raised his eyes and glanced at him, then said calmly, "This is the cake you just pointed at. It has nothing to do with me."
"So I have to make you unhappy with what I said before you reply to me. What a weird temper you have."
"I'm working now." Jing Rong handed him the packaged soufflé. "Do you need anything else? If not, it's 35 yuan."
Wen Yanzhi glanced at him and pointed randomly at the freezer several times, "This, that, and that one over there. Forget it, pack up all these three rows for me."
"so much?"
Wen Yanzhi let out a groan and nodded, "I have many girlfriends, so giving one to each of them is just right."
Jing Rong couldn't help but look at Wen Yanzhi a little more, his eyes were subtle. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and now he felt that the friend and sister of the man in front of him were definitely not suitable.
"What's with that expression?" Wen Yanzhi felt that the look just now was full of contempt.
"I'll pack it for you right away." Jing Rong took out a large pile of boxes.
Wen Yanzhi leaned there, watching him busy, and asked him, "Aren't you a senior in high school? Why don't you study hard and come here to work?"
"It's the weekend. I'm taking a break."
"What weekend do senior high school students have?" Wen Yanzhi looked at him carefully and asked tentatively, "Are you short of money?"
Jingrong didn't say anything.
This kid is very tight-lipped about his private affairs and refuses to say a single word.
He just didn't believe that he couldn't open this kid's mouth.
Wen Yanzhi raised his eyebrows, "As far as I know, your sister usually gives you living expenses. Why is your sister mistreating you now?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Jing Rong raised his head. His eyes, which had always been calm, became agitated at this topic. "My sister is very good and has always given me money."
"Then what kind of job do you do? Does your sister know?"
Jing Rong lowered his head and said, "This is my own business."
"That means your sister doesn't know." Wen Yanzhi had a faint smile on his lips, and was quite interested in his affairs. "Tell me, why do you need money?"
Jing Rong didn't plan to reply, but he seemed to already know his attitude, and added leisurely: "It's okay if you don't tell me, I'll go ask your sister. By the way, what's your sister's phone number? Let me see, I think it's saved in my phone."
