When Liu Si-jin called to tell her where she was, Yin Mingzhu had already guessed that he might be coming. However, when she actually saw him push open the door and walk in, she was still a little surprised.

He didn't even change his clothes. He was wearing a military T-shirt and camouflage pants, which was even more eye-catching than a suit. Coupled with his tall and straight posture and the unique aura of a soldier around him, he became the center of attention as soon as he walked in.

Everyone's gazes were cast over at the same time.

What was with this inexplicable feeling that he was here to crash the party?

Last night, when she talked about the social gathering in front of him, she did have the intention to test him. She didn't expect him to come over. Yin Mingzhu clearly didn't do anything, but she couldn't help but feel guilty. She pursed her lips and was thinking about how to greet him, but he was one step ahead of her.

"Yin Mingzhu, come out." Liu Si-jin's tone was gentle, but there wasn't much warmth in it.

When he walked in, he glanced around. They were all young men and women in their twenties. They were sitting in groups of twos and threes, chatting and laughing. The atmosphere was quite ambiguous.

Two men occupied the seats next to Yin Mingzhu. They were very solicitous and attentive. Anyone could see their intentions. However, she seemed to be unaware and sat there smiling like an idiot.

How could he not be angry when he saw this scene?

His lungs were about to explode from anger!

"Senior, why are you here?" Yin Mingzhu asked in confusion.

"I have something to talk to you about."

It wasn't good to say too much in front of these people. Liu Si-jin stepped forward and grabbed her wrist. Under everyone's curious gaze, he expressionlessly pulled her out of the room.

"What's going on?" Yin Mingzhu, who was forced to follow behind him, continued to maintain an innocent expression.

Liu Si-jin was silent the whole way. He was thinking about how to speak. From the beginning until now, he had been relying on impulse. To be honest, he rarely let himself be so impulsive. Now that he had pulled her out, reason gradually took over.

How should he explain?

Worried that she would be deceived?

Bah, she wasn't a three-year-old child. It would be strange if she didn't fall out with him.

Soon, they arrived at the parking lot. Liu Si-jin let go of Yin Mingzhu, turned around, took a deep breath, and returned to his usual smiling self. "I'm sorry, Mingzhu. Actually, I don't have anything. I just wanted to ask, have you eaten?"

"What?"

Yin Mingzhu blinked, a little dumbfounded. She had an expression that said, "Are you f * cking kidding me?" "So … Senior, you came looking for me because of this?"

"En.

Yoo Sijin nodded and lied without blushing. "Not exactly. It's mainly … Hey, I don't feel very well. I want you to check for me."

........................

Anyway, it was definitely not because he was jealous of her.

No matter what, he didn't like her interacting with those men. This could be considered an improvement.

She couldn't figure out his purpose for the time being, so she didn't dwell on it. She looked at him suspiciously and frowned. "Senior, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

"... My stomach hurts." Liu Si-jin made up an excuse. He even clutched his stomach exaggeratedly and hissed.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, he took the initiative to look for her. Yin Mingzhu had to seize the opportunity.

She sent a text to her colleague saying that she had something urgent to attend to. She looked up and saw that he was about to open the car door. She quickly stopped him. "Wait. Senior, you don't feel well. Let me drive."

"Okay." Liu Si-jin put down the car door and sat in the front passenger seat.

Both of them were silent in the car. Yin Mingzhu was thinking about why he tricked her into coming out. Liu Si-jin was worried about how to continue with the lie.

He was too impulsive today. The key was that he couldn't really say what he was thinking. Logically speaking, Yin Mingzhu was already 28 years old. She was a mature and rational adult. What was he worried about?

Was it because her blind date wasn't a soldier?

That was even more ridiculous. It was her freedom to like anyone. Moreover, soldiers weren't the only good men.

He was speechless with himself.

Liu Si-jin turned to look at Yin Mingzhu. She was still focused on driving. Her long hair was tied up, and the lines of her neck were beautiful.

Perhaps it was because of the social gathering, she had put on some light makeup. Her long eyelashes were like small fans, fluttering and moving.

He always knew that Yin Mingzhu was beautiful. She had been the campus belle since junior high. Many boys had confessed to her. As her childhood friend, he had received a lot of hostility because of her.

It was no wonder that she was popular. She had a good family background, good looks, and a good personality … As long as she was willing, there was no problem that couldn't be solved by acting coquettishly. In addition to her natural talent, she was very hardworking. She was good both internally and externally. She was so outstanding that it was eye-catching.

Wasn't it a joke that such a girl needed to rely on social gatherings to find a romantic partner?

Taking a step back, even if she wanted to find someone, shouldn't she find someone who was compatible in all aspects? The two guys in the KTV just now had their eyes glued to her body. They didn't have any basic manners. How good could their moral quality be?

At least … at least, it should be someone like him!

The sudden thought that popped up in Yoo Sijin's mind startled him. Was it because he cared too much?

He actually had such a scary thought now.

Sigh, if this continued, Yin Mingzhu's love would become his sore point.

After turning a corner, the car drove straight back to the army. Yin Mingzhu muttered, "Senior, I don't think it's very serious. Let's go to the infirmary."

"Okay."

Liu Si-jin responded casually. His stomach didn't hurt in the first place, but he found an excuse in a moment of desperation. Yin Mingzhu didn't seem to believe it either. Moreover, as a senior, he felt that it was necessary to talk to her.

After silently organizing his words, he finally asked, "Mingzhu, you … what do you think of the boys in today's social gathering?"

"Nothing much." She answered without turning her head.

"Huh?

What do you mean? "

"They didn't even say much. I can't tell what kind of person they are."

Yin Mingzhu hesitated for a moment after speaking, then said, "Senior actually … doesn't feel unwell, right?"

Yin Mingzhu was smart, so it wasn't strange that she could tell that he was faking it. However, he didn't expect her to ask so directly. Even Liu Si-jin was stunned for a moment. After calming himself down, he said, "Sigh, our Mingzhu is really smart."

Unfortunately, the atmosphere didn't relax because of his teasing. Yin Mingzhu stopped the car by the side and turned her head to stare into his eyes without blinking. "Why?"

Why?

Because he felt that the social gathering wasn't reliable?

Or because he was afraid that she would be deceived?

There were many reasons, but even Liu Si-jin couldn't really say the real reason.

He was so against her social gathering and against her meeting with strange men because deep in his heart, he couldn't accept it. He couldn't accept that there were clearly better men by her side, but she always turned a blind eye to them.
