Shi Yi didn’t notice that there was someone beside her and subconsciously moved over. Not only did she accidentally step on someone’s foot, but she also lost her balance because she sprained her ankle and almost fell.

Fortunately, the man beside her grabbed her arm in time to prevent her from falling on the ground and making a fool of herself.

Shi Yi tucked her smooth long hair behind her ear and apologized to that person awkwardly. After apologizing, she immediately thanked him. “I’m really sorry for not paying attention. Thank you for catching me in time.”

That person was amused by Shi Yi’s behavior, but he also felt that when she tousled her hair, the fragrance that her hair emitted when it slid behind her shoulders was very pleasant, so he praised her directly, “Your hair smells very good.”

After that person bent down to pick up the pen for her, he stood up and placed it on the notebook she had in her left hand.

This was the first time she had heard such straightforward praise from a boy, so she blushed for a moment, but she quickly calmed down. After all, this wasn’t the first time she had heard praise, so she was already used to it.

Shi Yi thanked the other party again for picking up the pen, but the other party was focused on reading her notes. He even wrote down his comments at the side with a very serious look on his face.

He seemed to be very interested in Shi Yi’s opinion and asked politely, “1 wonder if I can take a look at your notes? I’m very curious about your opinion on these fabrics.”

Shi Yi took the ballpoint pen that she had just placed on the notebook with her right hand and flicked the tip of the pen in. Then, she handed the notebook to him. “Here, remember to make corrections after reading it!”

The other party obviously knew fabric very well. He read it very seriously and didn’t miss a single word. After reading it, he told her his opinion, then he pointed out what he thought was wrong.

The two of them discussed fabrics passionately, as if no one else was around. When they were discussing to their heart’s content, the other party even borrowed a pen and paper from Shi Yi to record the interesting parts of the conversation.

When the exchange meeting was about to end and Wang Jiao came to look for the two of them, they finally ended the topic.

Wang Jiao stared at the two of them for a long time. She knew both of them, but she had never thought that they knew each other. Moreover, their personalities were different. Shi Yi was flamboyant, while the other was gentle, so she had never thought of introducing them to each other. She didn’t expect that the two of them actually hit it off so well and chatted for more than two hours.

Wang Jiao smiled and invited the two of them. “The exchange is about to end. 1 think the two of you still have a lot of things to talk about, so why don’t you two go eat together and discuss it?”

Of course, Shi Yi was happy. She rarely approved of the opinions of her peers, especially men, when it came to fashion design and fabrics. Although this was because Shi Yi was arrogant, it was also because very few people could treat fashion design as a part of their bodies like Shi Yi did.

Although it was the first time she saw this boy today, Shi Yi was impressed by his knowledge. She couldn’t wait to ask him more questions. Even if Wang Jiao didn’t invite the two of them to eat together, she would have taken the initiative to ask.

Shi Yi answered Wang Jiao with a smile, “Okay, Sister Jiaojiao.”

The other party was obviously very happy, but his tone wasn’t as eager as Shi Yi’s. “Thank you, Teacher Wang.”

When Shi Yi heard this form of address, she was a little curious and asked, “Sister Jiaojiao, why did he call you teacher?”

Wang Jiao froze for a moment. “He hasn’t told you about it even after chatting for so long? I’m a master’s supervisor at Z University and he’s my student. That’s why 1 asked him to come today.”

Shi Yi stuck out her tongue. “Oh, we were chatting so happily that we didn’t even have the time to introduce ourselves.”

Wang Jiao laughed heartily. “That’s good. Let me introduce you two. Xu Zhi, my favorite student, is the person most interested in clothes I’ve ever seen other than you!”

As Shi Yi repeated Xu Zhi’s name to herself, she felt that his name was very breezy..
