Chapter 77 -77: The Poisonous Childhood Friend (Part 6)
Shi Shen mumbled his disbelief, but he still used his connections at school to inquire about Su Li’s whereabouts.
After some investigation, it seemed that no one had heard of any male companions around Su Li, which didn’t relieve Shi Shen.
Just because there were none at school didn’t mean there were none outside.
Now, Su Li spent most of his time at the company, where there were plenty of elite men who had been honed by society.
Although he didn’t like Su Li’s type of looks, Shi Shen was very clear about how imposing Su Li’s appearance was.
And now, Su Li had become even more stunningly attractive.
There were still many people who appreciated this kind of beauty.
“Xiao Li…”
Shi Shen had exerted a lot of effort to learn from her dorm mate that she would be returning to school today.
Su Li slightly lowered her oversized black sunglasses and lifted her eyelids, “Oh, it’s you.”
“Why do I run into you everywhere I go?” Su Li fell just short of bluntly saying he was haunting her.
Shi Shen smiled sheepishly and didn’t reply, as if he hadn’t seen Su Li’s mocking gaze.
Shi Shen, “Xiao Li, you really like Zheng Huan, don’t you? I happen to have gotten tickets to his latest concert. Let’s go together.”
“Oh?” Su Li smiled faintly, “Those tickets are quite hard to get, and recently scalped tickets have reached new heights.”
“You’re thoughtful.”
Shi Shen actually knew how to cater to someone’s preferences.
Su Li was slightly surprised; indeed, some people were just born gluttons for punishment.
Before, when “Su Li” accommodated him in every way, he strung her along with lukewarm affection, carrying an undertone of reluctance and detachment. But now, after Su Li had become indifferent to him, he was eagerly clinging to her.
Su Li didn’t know how much of Shi Shen’s behavior was for his beloved girlfriend, Ye Ruolan, who was currently lying in a private hospital bed. However, according to her investigation, she knew that Shi Shen, who had previously spent every possible moment by Ye Ruolan’s side, was now visiting her much less frequently.
He had even dug up some of the original “Su Li’s” past hobbies.
While busy with work, Su Li had also arranged for someone to watch over that side; after all, one must be vigilant against someone who might be a threat in the future.
Su Li’s demeanor was gentle and smooth, giving Shi Shen, who had been accustomed to cold treatment lately, a sudden sense of being unexpectedly cherished.
He beamed broadly, “So, Xiao Li, does that mean you agree?”
“Agree to what?” Su Li glanced at him nonchalantly, “I didn’t say I wanted to go with you.”
“What’s so great about this little fresh meat? You really don’t understand me at all.”
With that, Su Li pushed her sunglasses up on her nose and, disregarding the colorful expression on Shi Shen’s face, walked past him.
After standing still for a moment, Shi Shen, unable to let it go, turned and chased after Su Li.
Shi Shen, who was already a campus celebrity, was for the first time seen openly at a girl’s side, and it seemed they were quite close.

Although there was a wide distance between the two, anyone who glanced at President Shi could see obvious tenderness in his eyes.
To say they weren’t intimate, nobody would believe that.
Moreover, they had heard from some that their illustrious President Shi had been frequently inquiring about Su Li from the finance department.
In the campus, those who recognized Shi Shen, seeing the two people one after another, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, looked as perfectly matched as a vividly colored oil painting, all cast meaningful glances at Shi Shen.
Some who were on good terms with him even teased with winks and nudges, “Ah Zhi, this junior girl seems quite new, why haven’t you introduced her to us?”
There were also some who blurted out quickly, “She’s your younger sister, isn’t she?” Their tone was unusually certain.
Su Li was aware of the stir behind her, and when she heard no immediate explanation from Shi Shen, she pursed her lips, turned her head, and just saw Shi Shen smiling in response to the people he had encountered, but remained silent.
The others thought they had guessed correctly, and their teasing became even more intense.
“You guys are mistaken; I don’t have the kind of relationship with Senior Shi that you’re thinking of,”
“We were just classmates in junior high and now happen to be at the same university.”
“Our relationship isn’t as close as what you guys have with each other.”
At Su Li’s matter-of-fact rebuke, Shi Shen’s face gradually grew stern and unsightly.
The few classmates who were very close to Shi Shen looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.
It seemed they had all guessed wrong, and it appeared that President Shi had still not ‘conquered’ the beauty.
For a moment, only awkwardness hung in the air, making the atmosphere heavy.
Having witnessed President Shi’s embarrassment, these classmates forced a stiff smile and said, “Ah Zhi, we’ve got something on, so we’re heading off first.”
They fled like sprinting horses, disappearing quickly from sight.
This time, Shi Shen was truly angry and said in a low voice, “Xiao Li, there’s a limit to throwing a tantrum.”
What?
Shi Shen actually thought she was throwing a tantrum.
Su Li was deeply shocked by this.
How on earth did he think that way, he didn’t seem like someone who was foolish.
Su Li took off her glasses from her face, raised her eyebrows, and with eyes as beautiful as the stars, she stared back incredulously, her eyes widening, “You say I’m throwing a tantrum?”
Su Li said, “Although we got along pretty well as kids, now we’ve both grown up, and our thoughts are different too, so I think it’s better to keep a proper distance.”
No matter what Su Li said, Shi Shen looked at her as if watching someone making an unreasonable fuss.
After all, Su Li’s sincerity towards him in the past was undeniable, and her feelings couldn’t have changed so drastically in such a short time.
“Alright, no matter what you think, I’ll say it again, your recent actions have caused me a great deal of trouble and I hope you can stop,” he said.
Su Li emphasized just that.
Her words hurt Shi Shen deeply.
“You really don’t care at all about our childhood friendship.”
What
Su Li didn’t want to waste any more time and turned to walk away, leaving Shi Shen standing there with a gloomy look, watching her retreating figure slowly disappearing into the distance.
This time, after being publicly humiliated by Su Li, Shi Shen no longer always created ‘chance encounters,’ giving Su Li a few days of peace.
However, unexpectedly, rumors began to spread across the campus that there was a romantic speculation between Su Li and Shi Shen.
The two were childhood sweethearts without a care in the world, separated for some time, and then fatefully reunited on the university campus, a typical storyline of a romance drama.
