Elena clenched her palms at her sides, her nails digging into her flesh, and the slight stinging sensation brought her back to reality.
Facing the suspicious gaze of Dowell sitting opposite her, she felt extremely humiliated. Her eyes flickered twice and she was about to answer.
Ying Shi suddenly crossed his hand, stood up, picked up the chocolate with liquor filling on the right, handed one to her, and whispered softly: "I remember you like to eat his handmade chocolate. Well, eat one first to avoid hypoglycemia."
Elena took it blankly, lowered her eyes and looked at the chocolate candy wrapper in her hand, still wondering whether to open it.
Then Ying Shi said to Dowell rudely, "Elena finally came back, why can't you talk about something else instead of business! Haven't you talked about these things enough at home? Let's talk about them when we have a drink together!"
Dowell cursed in his heart, then changed the subject with a smile: "Master Steven has recently let you come back. I thought you wouldn't be able to come back this year."
Elena's expression really eased: "The teacher has other things to do, so he gave us a month's vacation in advance."
Dowell said, "You're on the island for the next month?"
Elena nodded: "Yeah."
Dowell was very happy: "Then let's get together more often. Every time you come back, you're always in a hurry and I barely see you before you leave again!"
Elena smiled and picked up the water glass to clink glasses with him and said, "Let's get together more often in the future."
Dowell drank it all.
Ying Shi was standing by and watching the woman's every move intently, watching her chatting elegantly. The light in the private room illuminated her fair skin, her long neck, and her smooth shoulder and neck lines. Her round shoulders looked like beautiful jade under the light.
He couldn't help but look infatuated and lost in thought.
Until Elena noticed his gaze and patted him lightly: "What are you doing?"
"Yeah." Ying Shi finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly took a sip of the wine to cover up his instantly exposed emotions, and forced a smile to say, "Nothing."
Elena sent Dowell and the others away and focused her attention on him, and mentioned casually, "You are going to have your monthly exam soon, right?" "Yeah." Ying Shi responded.
She smiled brightly, her brows were as white as silk, and said in a warm voice: "I know you will definitely be the first again. Come on!"
Ying Shi was dazzled by her smile, and his fingers unconsciously clenched the wine glass. It took him a long time to look away. His throat tightened and he rolled his larynx. He glanced away and nodded: "Yeah." He didn't care about winning or losing.
If she wants to see herself take first place, he will take first place!
…
It was already 3:30 in the afternoon when they finished the party.
The group left the court.
Dowell put one hand on Brown's shoulder and asked the man and woman who came out two steps later than him: "Lister said that his family has opened a new racetrack. Do you want to go and have some fun?"
Without waiting for Elena and Ying Shi to speak, he looked at Ying Shi and said, "Don't you have any plans this afternoon? Let's go together."
He knew that Ying Shiyi had nothing to do all day, so he planned to hang around the goddess. Dowell had always been a good manager, so how could he not create opportunities for his friends
"Elena, together?" he asked the woman.
It's cold in winter. There's air conditioning inside but not outside. In a temperature of around 10 degrees, even if she wants to be elegant, she can't come out wearing only a thin green halter dress.
So Elena still put on the black waist-hugging butterfly jacket and tied the belt to outline her slender waist that was less than one hand could hold.
She was holding a small custom-made bag from H. She absentmindedly refused, "I won't go. You guys enjoy yourself."
