Chapter 193 You Know He Likes You

Given the power Zhao Yuxi possesses, it is not difficult for her to find someone.

Her secretary was very curious about why Dean Zhao wanted to investigate such an insignificant person. In her spare time, she guessed why the dean was looking for Song Yihan: Could this person be the dean's rival in love? Or was she bullied by this person when she was weak?
Ye Zhimeng carried out the task with a lot of unnecessary thoughts, but her efficiency did not decrease. The dean only told her the name of a school, a grade, and a person's name, that's all, but she only took half an hour to find out where the person was now.

That evening, Zhao Yuxi found Song Yihan in a milk tea shop.

The milk tea shop was doing very well, with many people lining up. Song Yihan stood at the door, the lights in the shop and the afterglow of the evening shining on her, making her look energetic and vibrant.

Zhao Yuxi waited in line for several minutes and finally saw Song Yihan up close: "Pudding milk tea, large cup, with ice."

“Take away or drink in the store?”

“Drink it in the store.”

A few minutes later, another staff member called her for milk tea.

Zhao Yuxi chose to sit near the door, drinking milk tea while observing Song Yihan.

Perhaps it is because of her work that the busy Song Yihan is more enthusiastic, lively and gentle than she was four years ago. She has a very ordinary ponytail and still has a smile in her eyes, but her smile is filled with hardship and patience.

Zhao Yuxi and Gu Tingzhou were in the same grade and would be sophomores after the summer vacation. Song Yihan was also in the same grade as her. She thought that if the "darkness" had not come and if she had not obtained the asymptote, she would definitely stay at home and play instead of going out to work during the summer vacation.

What Zhao Yuxi is concerned about is that Song Yihan is older than Gu Tingzhou and also older than her. However, whether Gu Tingzhou knows that Song Yihan is older than him is unknown. If he doesn't know, it doesn't matter. If he knows, it means that Gu Tingzhou is not opposed to sister-brother relationships. But no one can say for sure. Even if Gu Tingzhou four years ago was not opposed to these, what about Gu Tingzhou now?
Zhao Yuxi thought about it and decided to keep this question deep in her heart.

This is a very clear line. Once she crosses the line, Gu Tingzhou might immediately regard her as an enemy. Maybe one day, she and Gu Tingzhou will be familiar enough that she can ask him without hesitation, "Do you reject sister-brother relationships?" But for now, this question should not be asked. Because some secrets can only be shared with the closest people, and others have no right to share or understand them.

Zhao Yuxi wanted to wait for Song Yihan to get off work and then ask her out for a talk, but when did she get off work?
Zhao Yuxi sent another message to her secretary.

Ye Zhimeng was eating when he received the message.

She was a little unhappy: "This dean has so many things to do. He asks me to do everything that is not related to work, no matter whether it is big or small. Although this is my job, you ask me to do too many things. The big things, such as finding people, I feel more face when doing this kind of thing. Asking me to find out when the staff of the milk tea shop will get off work, this kind of task is not suitable for me, nor for other assistants to do, it is a bit troublesome!"
After careful consideration, she found a webmaster with whom she had a good relationship and asked him to send an assistant to investigate the matter.

Zhao Yuxi had been sitting in the milk tea shop for more than ten minutes. Her milk tea was about to finish and she was about to be unable to sit down any longer. She wanted to know why her secretary hadn't asked these people when they would get off work. If the secretary's efficiency was a little lower, maybe she would know when these people would get off work before the secretary did.

Zhao Yuxi couldn't understand why Ye Zhimeng could find out Song Yihan's location in just half an hour, but more than ten minutes had passed, why hadn't she found out Song Yihan's off-get off work time?

Zhao Yuxi decided to check it out herself. She checked several pieces of information, compared and screened them, and came to the conclusion that this milk tea shop would be open until about nine o'clock in the evening.

After a while, her secretary replied to her message, "Song Yihan got off work at 9pm." Zhao Yuxi was speechless: When you are asked to do big things, you are happy to do them, but when you are asked to do small things, you procrastinate. This work attitude is not good.

But anyway, the answer was there, and Zhao Yuxi was no longer waiting. She made an appointment with Yang Shengyao, the director of the temporary branch of Yuqing City, for dinner and asked him about some work matters, such as whether there were any illegal ancients in the city, whether he had encountered any problems recently, how many ancients he had handled in the last month, and how he handled them?
Yang Shengyao was only the temporary dean of the branch, and he dared not disobey Zhao Yuxi's wishes. He answered whatever Zhao Yuxi asked. However, he did not deliberately say anything that Zhao Yuxi did not ask. Some things are indeed work secrets, and you can't just ask about them casually because your level is higher than mine.

In Zhao Yuxi's eyes, there are no secrets in the institute. As long as the dean can read any information in the institute, she can also read it.

At 20:55, Zhao Yuxi came to the opposite side of the milk tea shop and waited quietly for Song Yihan to get off work.

After get off work, Song Yihan did not go home immediately. She had dinner very early and was hungry again. She wanted to eat something outside, which was a new habit she had formed in the past month.

Song Yihan ordered the dishes at the roadside barbecue stall, sat down, and waited for the stall owner to serve the food.

Zhao Yuxi came uninvited. She sat opposite Song Yihan, resting her elbows on the table and her chin on her fists. She stared at Song Yihan with interest, as if she was admiring a precious piece of jewellery.

"Student Song Yihan, do you still remember Gu Tingzhou?"

Song Yihan was very familiar with this name. It was her junior high school classmate. They were in the same class in the first and third year of junior high school. Gu Tingzhu had borrowed her to copy homework, and she had bought apples for him.

"I remember. What's wrong? Who are you?" Song Yihan looked at the person in front of her carefully. She remembered Gu Tingzhou and the person sitting opposite her. This person came to the store to buy a cup of milk tea. This person asked about Gu Tingzhou right away. Could this person be a new friend that Gu Tingzhou met when he was in high school or college? Gu Tingzhou's academic performance was so good, he would definitely be admitted to college.

"I'm Gu Tingzhou's colleague, Zhao Yuxi. Does Gu Tingzhou know that you are older than him?"

Song Yihan believed that Gu Tingzhou must know about this because she and Gu Tingzhou had celebrated each other's birthdays, and before graduation, they both wrote a page in each other's yearbook.

"I know. Why are you asking?"

"Satisfy my curiosity. Third question, do you know that Gu Tingzhou likes you?"

"what?"

"Do you know that Gu Tingzhou likes you?"

If the girl opposite did not repeat the question, Song Yihan wanted to just fool her and not give her an answer. Now that she thought about it, being liked by Gu Tingzhou was probably not a very decent thing, because he was relatively young and dull at that time, and he knew very little about love. Although the time spent with him was happy, it was also a bit tiring. In general, it was a period of time that was not worth remembering. After the only happiness was washed away by time, only shame remained.

Because Song Yihan didn't want to face that past, she chose to hide it: "I don't know."
