Chapter 286 - Forced to be the Partner

When Shi Lei received Wei Xingyue’s call, he was surprisingly in class.

Although it was already his senior year and the school didn’t really care, students still needed credits if they wanted to graduate. Final exams were around the corner and it was time to focus on the main areas of knowledge in the only four subjects he took.

Zhang Mo had notified Shi Lei that morning that he had to go to class today. Not only today, but tomorrow as well. The teacher had already informed the students that they planned to use the two days to review the main points they needed to know for the exams. Of course, the teachers wouldn’t make the students’ lives harder, since they had worked hard for three years and were about to face the big question of graduation. Although they were going over the required areas for them, they just basically told the students the questions. However, they still needed to go through the process of taking the exams, since the teachers couldn’t let those students who did not qualify graduate. In order to avoid that, Shi Lei went to class like a good student.

The teacher was speaking passionately at the front of the room when Shi Lei’s phone suddenly rang. He looked at Shi Lei unhappily.

Shi Lei quickly declined the call and almost shoved his head into the table. He first turned off the sound, then checked who had called him.

Seeing that it was Wei Xingyue, Shi Lei sent her a WeChat message. I’m in class.

She quickly replied. Class? You take classes?

She then quickly realized and sent another message before Shi Lei could reply. Haha, I almost forgot that you’re a senior. You have finals soon, right?

Mhm. The teacher is going over the areas I need to know. He just glared at me because of your call.

Do you have class in the afternoon as well?

Nothing in the afternoon. What do you want now? He asked.

I just want you attend an event with me. I need a partner. After I considered all the possibilities, I decided to take you to broaden your horizons and accept the influence of the arts.

Please have mercy. I’m busy.

But Wei Xingyue obviously didn’t want to give Shi Lei any chance to reject. I’ll go to your place in the afternoon. We’ll have some food and…Uh, you don’t have a suit, do you? We’ll get you one after lunch. It probably wouldn’t delay the 3 PM event.

I’m not going. Find someone else. Shi Lei replied curtly.

But he waited for a long time, but Wei Xingyue never answered.

Shi Lei knew that he couldn’t escape. With crazy woman Wei Xingyue’s personality, she would definitely do what she said she would.

Shi Lei got the main idea of the lesson, which was basically two times the practice questions for the exams. The teachers even kindly attached the correct answers to them. Shi Lei turned down the invitation to eat with Zhang Mo and the others and walked back to his apartment unwillingly.

Unexpectedly, Wei Xingyue had already arrived. Shi Lei was hoping that she wouldn’t be there, so he could run away after dropping his things at home. He could take Sun Yiyi somewhere and Wei Xingyue couldn’t do anything about it. But it was the middle of winter and there weren’t many places they could go.

Wei Xingyue took the things in Shi Lei’s hands and flipped through them. “Your teachers aren’t bad. They even give you the right answers. So the tests are basically these questions?”

“Can you please not drag me to that kind of event?” he asked with a bitter expression. “Although I’ve never been to one, it’s enough to watch TV to know that it’s really boring.”

“That’s exactly why I asked you go with me. It’s so boring and I can’t be the only one bored. And we wouldn’t be bored if we were together.” Wei Xingyue sounded extremely reasonable.

Shi Lei was even more speechless. “Wei Xingyue, I’m begging you. Hurry up and find a boyfriend.”

“Mhm, alright. I’ll work hard on it. But today, you need to accompany me.”

Shi Lei lost all hope. “Then I’ll drop my things upstairs first.”

“I ordered some food. It should be here in a few minutes. We need to hurry because we don’t have much time.”

The food arrived a short while later. When Shi Lei and Wei Xingyue finished lunch, she dragged him to Deji, forced him to buy an Ermenegildo Zegna suit for 300,000 yuan.

Although Shi Lei wasn’t butthurt because he was spending the Black Card’s money, he still complained. “Why do I have to buy my own clothes when I’m accompany you to the event?”

“You’re wearing it yourself, so of course you’re buying it yourself. Did you hope that I’d give you a suit? You can’t just give anyone that. It can only be given to those who are extremely close to you. Are you sure you want to become someone who’s extremely close to me?” Wei Xingyue blinked. Shi Lei realized that there was some blue in this crazy woman’s pupils. 

Of course Shi Lei wouldn’t step into the trap. He found a way out. “I just think that it’s a waste. I won’t wear it on a daily basis. It’s just a suit. I have a suit. Isn’t Armani good enough?”

“That’s in a casual style. This is formal. You think that you won’t use it right now, but you’ll know that one set is definitely not enough in the future. This is a popular choice that’s all over the street. You need to have custom made Ermenegildo Zegna to match your identity as Young Master Shi.”

Shi Lei chose to shut up. The name “Young Master Shi” to people like Young Master Wang was used sincerely, but when it came out of Wei Xingyue’s mouth, it was in a teasing manner.

Shi Lei walked out of the changing room after he put on the formal suit. Wei Xingyue was surprised at the sight.

“It’s such a waste of your good body to wear normal clothes. I didn’t expect your whole aura to change after you wore the suit. Shame that we don’t have enough time, or else we could’ve ordered a custom-made set for you. This set is still somewhat unfitting.” Wei Xingyue exclaimed and took the sleeve button from the exployee’s hands. She stood in front of Shi Lei. “Hands.”

Shi Lei stretched out his hands and Wei Xingyue carefully clipped the button on for him. She took the necktie and tied it up for him from the back.

“Hmm, not bad!” Wei Xingyue nodded in satisfaction.

However, Shi Lei felt uncomfortable. He subconsciously straightened his back and head after he put on the suit. It felt extremely awkward to him.

The employee to the side complimented them. “Sir, you fit really well with formal suits. Your girlfriend is so nice to you.”

Shi Lei wanted to explained, but Wei Xingyue hugged his arm and smiled. “Do we look like a couple?”

The employee nodded furiously. They were both good-looking and although Shi Lei appeared slightly younger, they indeed looked like a match made in heaven.

Shi Lei didn’t bother to explain and let Wei Xingyue play around. After she let go of his arm, he glanced at her and asked, “Are you wearing this?”

Wei Xingyue rolled her eyes. “My clothes are in the car. Let’s go. We need to go back because I also need to change.”

Shi Lei left with the set worth almost 500,000 yuan altogether. The suit was 300,000 yuan, the shirt was 3,000 yuan, the shoes were 8,000 yuan, the belt was more than 3,000 yuan, and even the necktie and the handkerchief were more than 1,000 each. That was what Shi Lei couldn’t understand the most. It was such a small amount of fabric, yet it was more expensive than housing.

Wei Xingyue got out of the car and pulled up her dress from her own car. Shi Lei took a glance and saw that it was the dress he had bought for her. ow shameless, he thought. So I’m accompanying you to your event and I paid for everything?

After they went in, Wei Xingyue pointed to the bathroom. “Go in there!”

Shi Lei’s eyes widened. “I don’t need to use the toilet!”

“I didn’t tell you to use it. I don’t plan on telling you what to do in that area. Hurry up and go in. I’m going to change.”

“Um, you’re the one changing, so shouldn’t you go to the bathroom?”

“It’s such a long dress and you’re telling me to change in that tiny bathroom? Can I do it?” Wei Xingyue didn’t hesitate to not treat herself as an outsider. It was as if she was the owner and Shi Lei was the guest.
