I had just parked my car when I received a call from my high school senior.
"Yijia, we have a Class Reunion the day after tomorrow. Do you want to come?"
Zhao Hanyu, who was beside me, immediately perked up upon hearing this.
Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were fixed on my phone.
I ignored him and softly replied, "Sure."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hanyu's expression darkened.
He squeezed my fingers; although he remained silent, his eyes were filled with displeasure.
I pretended not to notice and continued chatting with my senior.
Seeing that I was ignoring him, Zhao Hanyu's face grew even darker.
Suddenly, he leaned closer and whispered in my ear, "We're already home."
I paused for a moment before realizing that we had indeed arrived home.
I hurriedly exchanged a few words with my senior and hung up the phone.
I glared at Zhao Hanyu and said, "Why did you interrupt my call?"
Zhao Hanyu looked at me innocently and replied, "I want to attend the Class Reunion too."
"..."
I was speechless for a few seconds before letting out a helpless sigh. "You're not even my classmate; why would you go?"
"I'll go wherever you go."
Zhao Hanyu stubbornly stared at me. "Besides, what if you mistake someone again?"
"…I won't mistake anyone."
I said weakly.
Zhao Hanyu scoffed, "That senior clearly has ulterior motives; what if he takes this opportunity to get close to you?"
"…"
I shot him an exasperated glance. "You're overthinking it; the senior isn't like that."
"How do you know he's not?"
Zhao Hanyu looked at me coldly. "Anyway, I'm going."
"…"
I sighed helplessly again. "If you want to go, then go."
"But…"
I changed the subject, "You have to promise me one thing."
"What is it?"
Zhao Hanyu looked at me in confusion.
I leaned closer to his ear and whispered something.
Zhao Hanyu's ears immediately turned red.
He cleared his throat and looked at me awkwardly, "Do we really have to do it this way?"
I nodded, "Yes!"
Zhao Hanyu hesitated for a few seconds but eventually gave in.
"Alright then."
In the early morning, as I was getting ready to sleep, I suddenly heard some noise coming from the closet.
I opened my eyes and noticed that Zhao Hanyu was not beside me.
I waited for over twenty minutes but still didn't see Zhao Hanyu return to the bedroom.
Unable to contain my curiosity, I got out of bed to check.
I found Zhao Hanyu standing in the closet, surrounded by a pile of clothes, trying on one outfit after another as if searching for the best one.
In just a short span of ten minutes, he had already changed seven or eight times.
Yet he still seemed unsatisfied.
Just as he was about to try on another piece, he noticed me standing at the door.
Zhao Hanyu froze for a moment, a hint of embarrassment crossing his face.
"You... how did you wake up?"
I yawned and looked at him, "What are you doing?"
Zhao Hanyu cleared his throat, "I'm picking out what to wear tomorrow."
I looked at him in confusion, "You have work tomorrow; why are you choosing clothes so early?"
Zhao Hanyu replied, "..."
He paused for a moment and said softly, "Anyway, I can't lose to anyone."
I didn't quite catch the second half of his sentence because I was too sleepy.
"..."
Zhao Hanyu changed a few more outfits but still couldn't find one he was satisfied with.
He complained, "We need to have a few more pieces sent over."
I couldn't take it anymore and said softly, "Let me help you choose."
Zhao Hanyu glanced at me and silently stepped aside.
I walked in front of him and picked out a few clothes, but he always found something wrong with them.
I sighed helplessly, "So what do you want to wear?"
Zhao Hanyu thought for a few seconds and suddenly said, "How about we wear couple outfits?"
I was taken aback. "Isn't it just a Class Reunion?"
Zhao Hanyu cleared his throat, "What's wrong with a Class Reunion? It should also make you look good."
I was speechless.
Not wanting to argue further, I casually picked out a black shirt.
"Let's go with this one."
Zhao Hanyu took a look and nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, then it's settled."
I breathed a sigh of relief and asked him softly, "Can we sleep now?"
Zhao Hanyu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, let's go to sleep."
With that, he turned off the light.
The next day, I didn't get up until the afternoon to do my makeup.
Zhao Hanyu was already ready, standing at the door waiting for me.
He wore a dark green suit today, which made him look noble and elegant.
The only downside was that his clothes were a bit wrinkled.
I couldn't help but say, "Why are your clothes so wrinkled? You should change."
Zhao Hanyu looked down and immediately replied, "I'll change right now."
With that, he quickly took off his clothes to iron them.
I continued with my makeup and didn't pay him any more attention.
But when I finished my makeup, Zhao Hanyu was standing at the door again, quietly watching me.
He didn't say anything, but his eyes were filled with anticipation.
I couldn't stand being looked at by him any longer, so I couldn't help but raise my head and ask, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhao Hanyu cleared his throat and said, "Nothing, just looking around."
After saying that, he glanced at me again and casually asked, "That Ji Hui from yesterday, are you close to him?"
I was taken aback for a moment, then realized and couldn't help but laugh.
"He was my crush back in school."
Zhao Hanyu frowned slightly and said, "Just him? He's pretty average."
I nodded, "Yeah, he's just average, not as good as you."
Zhao Hanyu seemed a bit satisfied with that.
But no matter what I said next, he had to bring up Ji Hui.
"Who do you think is more handsome, Ji Hui or me?"
"He isn't even taller than me."
"Hmph, he isn't even worthy of carrying my shoes."
"You think he..."
I sighed helplessly and said, "Zhao Hanyu, are you being childish?"
Zhao Hanyu huffed and replied, "Anyway, he doesn't deserve it."
I smiled to appease him, "Yes, yes, he doesn't deserve it; he's nowhere near as good as you."
Only then did Zhao Hanyu seem satisfied.
Once we got in the car, Zhao Hanyu leaned over again.
He pointed to his face and asked me, "Is my face red?"
I casually replied, "Red."
Zhao Hanyu immediately leaned closer and said, "Touch it and see if it's hot."
I reluctantly reached out to touch it. Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly caught a glimpse of something outside the car window.
I paused for a moment and quickly pushed Zhao Hanyu away.
"We've arrived! Get out quickly!"
