Chapter 36: Jia Kai's Female Classmate

  "How about this?" Jia Kai picked up a pearl necklace and asked Xing Ye, "Pearls are suitable for older women."

  "No, I know grandma has one already, and the pearl is much better than this." Xing Ye immediately rejected Jia Kai's proposal, suddenly thought of an idea "Exactly, grandma has a necklace, why don't we buy a pair of pearl earrings to match it, make it a set."

  "Not bad," Jia Kai turned around and asked the salesperson, "Take us to see some pearl earrings, a bit better ones."

  "It's no good" she said, taking out several pairs of earrings one after another, "the lustre is not good, this one is okay but the colours don't match."

  Jia Kai picked up another pair and asked, "What about this pair? The luster is great and the color is beautiful."

  "Didn't you know? 'Seven pearls and eight treasures', 7mm can only be considered a pearl, 8mm and above can be considered a treasure, yours is too small."

  Jia Kai had no choice but to ask the salesperson again, "Don't you have anything better than this?"

  The salesperson originally thought they were not very old and didn't seem to have strong purchasing power, so they introduced some cheaper ones. Seeing that they were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to neglect them and quickly took out a few good pairs.

  "These are all South Sea pearls, and they're all over 10mm. They're just a bit more expensive," the salesperson explained.

  "This is more like it," Xing Ye picked up a pair and took a look, and indeed, whether it was the gloss or the roundness, they were all better than before.

  "Miss has a good eye for this, the gold one is this year's new style, very suitable for young women, you can try it on." The salesperson saw that they were satisfied and knew they were willing to spend money, so she introduced more enthusiastically.

  "Let me help you put it on and see," Jia Kai also thought the pair of golden pearl earrings in Xing Ye's hand was very unique.

  Jia Kai helped Xing Ye put on a pair of pearl earrings, the luster of the pearls complemented Xing Ye's delicate skin, transforming the originally sweet little girl into a charming and alluring young woman.

  Staring at herself in the mirror on a starry night, she murmured to herself; "They say that pearls are the best match for cheongsam, and pearls and cheongsam are indispensable for a perfect woman."

  Jia Kai was also bewildered by the sudden change, but upon hearing her say this, he immediately came to his senses. "Wait until you become a woman, and I'll definitely help you prepare for both pearls and cheongsam. But for now, you're still a little girl, so there's no need for such sighs."

  "Take off the earrings tonight," "This one looks good but the color doesn't match, I'll go with this pair of white ones instead."

  The salesperson hastily said, "This pair of pearls are both 11mm, and in terms of luster and shape, they are the best among our current stock. The only difference is that they are over a thousand yuan more expensive than the golden ones."

  "Alright, this one," Xing Ye also liked the pair, with a simpler style, which was more suitable for older people. He turned back to Jia Kai and said "It's not cheap, let's consider it as a joint gift from the three of us, how about that?"

  "Wow, grandma will definitely like it. When I get back, I'll make Jialuo contribute too. That kid has money but never spends it, this time he's going to have to cough up some cash." Jiakai said.

  The starry night asked the salesperson to open the ticket and pack it, specifically requesting that the packaging be more elegant.

  "Jialuo is your own brother, and you're treating him like this." Xingye said with a smile, knowing that Jiake was just joking.

  "You're also my sister, shouldn't I also put out your share?" Jia Kai said fearlessly.

  "My treat doesn't need you to pay, but you can invite me to eat ice cream and show your sisterly love." Xing Ye understood that Jia Kai didn't want to spend his own money, but the gift for Grandma couldn't be all paid by Jia Kai alone.

  "It's just an ice cream, I think it's a pretty good deal, let's go."

  The two of them left smiling, neither of them noticing that two girls had been watching them all along.

  Long before they picked out their earrings, those two girls had found each other.

  "Look, I told you it was Yu Jia Kai, didn't I? The girl next to him is really pretty. No wonder Song Siyan got rejected when she confessed to him. Song Siyan can't compare to this girl's beauty." The short-haired girl continued to express her opinions.

  And the girl named Wu Jing beside her, clenched her fists and stared at Jia Kai and Xing Ye without blinking. Especially when she saw Jia Kai helping Xing Ye put on earrings, her eyes seemed to be about to spout fire.

  And her companion was still muttering, "Wow, those earrings are expensive, Yu Jia Kai seems to be very good and gentle to her, when we get back to school, we have to tell them about it, the girlfriend of the Three Swordsmen has appeared, what big news!"

  "Maybe she's not his girlfriend, look at that girl paying for herself." Wu Jing's words seemed more like self-persuasion.

  "They're leaving, Wu Jing, are we still following them?" the short-haired girl asked.

  "Let's go take another look." Wu Jing led the way and followed again.

  The short-haired girl apparently was used to listening to her friends' words and immediately followed suit.

  "Let's go up and say hello to them," Wu Jing said, looking at the two Xing Ye in the first-floor cafe drinking drinks.

  "Ah, why must you go?" The short-haired girl asked in puzzlement.

  "Xiao Min, don't you want to know if that girl is really Yu Jia Kai's girlfriend? I'll go with you to find out." Wu Jing said intimately, wrapping her arm around Zhuang Xiao Min's shoulder.

  "Really?" Zhuang Xiaomin felt that Wu Jing's words were somewhat incorrect, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong. Before she could figure it out, Wu Jing had already dragged her towards Yu Jiaqi.

  Drinking iced coffee on a starry night, I noticed two young girls rushing towards my table, to be exact, a long-haired girl was pulling another girl over.

  "Yu Jia Kai, it's really you! Just now when we were picking out a birthday gift for Song Siyan, Xiao Min said she saw you and I didn't believe her." Wu Jing said with some exaggeration.

  Under the starry night, she felt strongly that although she was talking to Jia Kai, her eyes were looking at herself, and there was even a hint of hostility. It seemed like she didn't recognize herself anymore. Looking at Jia Kai for an instant, she understood that this hostility probably came from Jia Kai's side.

  Jia Kai heard the sound and turned around, also stunned, seeing that it was his classmates, he smiled slightly: "Wu Jing, Zhuang Xiaomin, what a coincidence you guys are drinking too!"

  "Are you on a date with your friend? I hope I'm not interrupting?" Wu Jing said as she pulled up a chair and sat down, also pulling over a dazed Zhuang Xiaomin.

  Zhuang Xiaomin had no choice but to sit across from Xing Ye.

  Yu Jia Kai slightly furrowed his brow, not expecting her to sit down, as he hadn't intended to invite them.

  "Song Siyan's birthday is next week, she's having a party, wasn't I invited? It's really my fault, she must have been the first to invite you." Wu Jing laughed.

  Jia Kai just smiled and didn't answer.

  "Can't you introduce us?" Wu Jing said, seeing that Yu Jia Kai didn't respond, thinking he was too shy to answer in front of the others.

  "What would you like to drink?" Jia Kai ignored her words and beckoned the waiter over.

  "My name is Wu Jing, this is Zhuang Xiaomin, and Yu Jia Kai is our classmate. And you? You look younger than us." Seeing that Jia Kai didn't respond, Wu Jing turned to Xing Ye and started chatting with her instead.

  Xīng yè běn lái zhèng zhe kàn tāmen tóng xué xiàng jiàn de xì mǎ, tā néng gǎn shòu de jiā kǎi duì miàn qián nǚ háizi de shū yuǎn, tīng nǚ háizi de huà lǐmiàn yídìng hái yǐncáng zhe shénme shìqíng, què méi xiǎng dào zhège cháng fā nǚ háizi huì zhǔdòng wèn zìjǐ.

  "Hello, I'm Luo Xingye." Xingye replied politely, but intentionally didn't mention his relationship with Jia Kai.

  "Oh, you..." Wu Jing wanted to ask.

  "How about a glass of fruit juice? What about you, Zhuang Xiaomin?" Jia Kai interrupted Wu Jing's words.

  "Okay, I'll have a glass of juice." Wu Jing saw that the waiter was standing beside her and had to order something to drink first.

  "I want a cup of iced coffee." Zhuang Xiaomin also said.

  "I'll pay for all of us." Jia Kai called out to stop the departing waiter and paid the bill for the four of them.

  Wu Jing still wanted to be polite, "Let you treat me, how can I be at ease?"

  "You guys take your time resting, we have something else to attend to first, see you later." Jia Kai said after paying the bill.

  The starry night had no choice but to stand up and nod to the two people, "goodbye".

  Jia Kaiya pulled her hand away, leaving Wu Jing obviously stunned.

  Staring at the hand being held by Kael under the starry night, did it have to be expressed so obviously.

  "Did you see that? Yu Jia is holding her hand, she must be his girlfriend." Zhuang Xiaomin said without noticing, and only saw her good friend's face looking very uncomfortable. "Wu Jing, what's wrong with you, are you feeling unwell?"

  Wu Jing glared at Zhuang Xiaomin fiercely, wondering how she could have such a stupid friend.

  Zhuang Xiaomin sullenly withdrew her head, wondering if she had said something wrong, which made Wu Jing so angry.
