They also wanted to look good and give themselves a fresh look while not spending too much time on it.

And clothes were the fastest shortcut to that.

Coming out from the hotel, the afternoon sunshine felt great.

Ji Qinying squinted her eyes and looked like she was in a good mood.

As soon as Sun Yijia walked out, what she saw was a picture of her standing in the sun, with long legs, slender waist, and bright features.

She paused as a fit of indescribable jealousy spread all inside of her.

“Ji Qingying.”

Ji Qingying glanced at her, “Is there anything else?”

Sun Yijia grinned her teeth and said as she passed, “Don’t be too proud, this is only the second round.”

Ji Qingying: “…”

As soon as Chen Xinyu received Ji Qingying’s call, she immediately rushed over.

“Ahhhhhh! Did you get a prize?!”

Ji Qingying chuckled and patted her back, “Yes. You go down first, it is too heavy.”

Chen Xinyu said blankly, “Number one?”

“Yeah.”

Ji Qingying smiled as she got in the car and leaned back in the chair while commenting, “It has been a long time since I won the prize, so I am very happy.”

Chen Xinyu couldn’t keep herself from smiling and remarked, “Oh right! I haven’t seen that smile on your face for a long time.”

Surprised, Ji Qingying touched her face and asked, “On my face?”

“Yes.”

Chen Xinyu stated her observation in a serious tone, “You also laugh when you talk about Doctor Fu, but that kind of laughter is different from this.”

Both times, the feeling was different.

Ji Qingying didn’t take winning the first prize seriously, yet she was also eager to progress further and further so that more people could see her designs and discover the beauty of cheongsams.

Turning over to look at her, Ji Qingying’s lips bent into a smile again, “Thank you.”

If she hadn’t forced herself, she would still be within her own shell.

“So modest.”

Chen Xinyu’s brows rose as she asked a question, “So where do you want to go now?”

“Go back and sleep then eat out for dinner?”

“Okay.”

With her head bowed and staring at her phone, Ji Qingying wanted to send a message to Fu Yanzhi, but she also felt that it was a bit too hasty to do that at the moment.

The night before she left, she had asked him if she could send him a video call request.

The result had turned out great but because she had been so busy that she could barely find time to use the toilet, she naturally hadn’t sent him a message about the good news.

What Ji Qingying didn’t know was—

In the few days she didn’t show up, something new had been brewing up at the hospital.

All of his colleagues saw Fu Yanzhi eating in the cafeteria for three consecutive days and one by one started to sigh.

Some people had been rejected and told not to come to the hospital to chase others.

Naturally, Lin Haoran had heard everything, and taking advantage of the fact he and Fu Yanzhi were eating lunch at the same time, he deliberately came over to his table to tease.

“Beauty Ji gave up?”

Fu Yanzhi was silent.

Lin Haoran chuckled and continued as he stared at his long-time friend, “Isn't it time for you to take the initiative?”

Fu Yanzhi just glanced at him, “Shut up.”

Lin Haoran obviously wouldn’t.

Staring at Fu Yanzhi’s expression, he stretched his hand out to pat the guy on the shoulder and said, “Don’t regret it now, any way you have been a monk your whole life. It is best for beauty Ji to let go of you at the earliest. A beauty like her shouldn’t be with a monk.”

Just as he said that, Fu Yanzhi’s cell phone rang.

As he took his mobile phone out, Lin Haoran poked his head around to look and saw the caller ID. His eyelids twitched at the sight, “That’s…”

Fu Yanzhi ignored him and answered the phone.

“Hello.”

His vice was still indifferent, but with the tone being of a little unique flavor.

Ji Qingying was leaning against the car window and looked up at the scenery outside.

“Fu Yanzhi.”

“Yes.”

He answered and asked in a low voice, “Is it over?”

“Yes.”

Ji Qingying smiled, “Were you taking a rest?”

“No.”

He paused and whispered, “Eating in the cafeteria.”

Ji Qingying said “Oh” and whispered as if it was an afterthought, “I haven’t eaten yet.”

Fu Yanzhi was stumped for words.

Before he could say anything Ji Qingying had changed the subject, “What time will you get off work today?”

“If there are no emergencies, six o’clock.”

Ji Qingying nodded, “Oh.”

She followed with, “I am going home now, why aren't you asking about the competition result?”

His brows rose in surprise and from his tone of voice one could feel that he was smiling, “What was the result?”

Ji Qingying: “…..Guess?”

Fu Yanzhi said nothing.

She was afraid of being too much and going over the line so as her eyes rolled around she said, “With your encouragement, I have successfully advanced.”

“…”

Fu Yanzhi was speechless, “Congratulations.”

“Then…”

Ji Qingying’s lips quirked to the side and she said vaguely, “There's encouragement before the competition, but will there be rewards after?”

Ji Qingying was indeed reaching for a mile after getting an inch.

However, she felt that Fu Yanzhi connived her intentions of wanting a mile.

She could feel that when it came to her Fu Yanzhi… seemed to like her a little bit.

Although it wasn’t the kind of ‘like’ that was strong enough to keep them together, at least… it allowed her to slowly approach him

If it was no more than that, Ji Qingying wasn’t sure if she could grasp a hold of anything in regards to him.

Even though she had the courage to ask, she was still a little bit nervous.
