"Huh? But this took me ages to make..."

Shen Yanxin had just come to her senses when Xia Che had already disappeared from her sight, and she couldn't help but feel dejected. "Really... why did you run so fast? Are you that afraid of being seen?"

"Is it really that shameful to have a rumored relationship with me?"

Shen Yanxin was like a wilted eggplant, no longer showing any of the joy she had just felt.

She looked down at the lunchbox in her hand. She had even bought a brand new lunchbox to make a good impression on Xia Che...

"Never mind, I'll just ask Xia Che what he likes to eat next time before I cook it."

Shen Yanxin shook her head, shaking off her disappointment, and cheered herself up again.

Pursuing a man is never that simple.

Mu Yingying had already told herself all this: no matter how difficult the process of pursuing Xia Che was, she would not give up!

"Then this bento box will go to waste. I made two, and one person can't finish it all. It seems like we'll have to throw it away..."

Having thought things through again, Shen Yanxin stopped dwelling on it. She looked around, looking for a trash can, when she suddenly heard a familiar, clear male voice:

"Careful, what a coincidence, why are you here so early today?"

Immediately afterwards, Shen Yanxin saw a bouquet of flowers being extended in front of her.

A bunch of pink roses, with a few drops of dew still clinging to the petals, clearly freshly picked.

"I got up early this morning to buy these flowers for you. Only you deserve them."

As they spoke, the man's face was revealed; it was none other than Li Junyang, who had always regarded Shen Yanxin as his target.

His face was beaming with a gentle smile, and he was equally delighted, clearly not expecting to run into Shen Yanxin at the school gate.

Originally, Li Junyang planned to wait until the break between classes to find Shen Yanxin and give her this surprise. However, she was also a little troubled about how to preserve the bouquet of flowers.

After all, based on Li Junyang's understanding of Shen Yanxin, this woman was extremely introverted and never took the initiative. Getting her to take the initiative was harder than killing her. How could such a socially awkward person possibly accept his flowers in a crowded place?

It's safest to arrange to meet up in person.

Unexpectedly, we ran into each other here.

Wouldn't that be heaven helping me?

Li Junyang's thoughts immediately began to wander. It had been a while since he had tried to win Shen Yanxin's favor. Based on his understanding of women, Shen Yanxin must be feeling insecure now.

When a person who has been by her side for many years suddenly becomes indifferent, a woman usually feels very anxious and will then become more proactive in taking care of herself.

At this moment, if I were to take the initiative to send a bouquet of flowers and say some sweet words, wouldn't it be easy to win over Shen Yanxin?

Thinking of this, Li Junyang looked up at Shen Yanxin, hoping to catch a glimpse of surprise and shyness on her face. But all he saw was Shen Yanxin give a flat "hmm," casually take the roses Li Junyang offered, glance at them, and then say in a tone that was clearly perfunctory but forced to sound surprised, "Thank you, I like it very much."

Li Junyang was stunned.

this……

This doesn't make sense, does it?

Shouldn't we be enthusiastic about ourselves?

this……

Where is the enthusiasm?

Where has the enthusiasm gone?

Why do you seem even colder than before?

"Be careful, remember to soak it in water after you get home. This bouquet is very delicate; it was just taken out of the water tank during air transport, so you need to take good care of it."

Li Junyang was still not giving up, thinking that Shen Yanxin did not understand the value of pink roses and wanted to use this to highlight himself.

"oh."

Li Junyang's plan was destined to fail. Shen Yanxin responded indifferently, already planning to find a trash can and throw the flower away later.

It wasn't a flower Xia Che gave me...

Why cherish it so much?

Now, Shen Yanxin's mind is filled with Xia Che. After facing her own feelings, Shen Yanxin is no longer confused. For her, the most important thing right now is not even the upcoming college league or the election for student council president, but how to get closer to Xia Che.

"Okay, looks like you just woke up, so you're not in a good mood, haha..."

Li Junyang felt a little embarrassed, so he touched his nose to save face. Then, he glanced at Shen Yanxin and noticed the lunchbox in her hand. His eyes, which had dimmed because of being ignored, immediately brightened up again.

This bento box contains the lunch that Shen Yanxin has carefully prepared for herself.

Could it be that...

Was Shen Yanxin feigning indifference?

Is it to give yourself a surprise, so you start with a slump and then climax?

It definitely is!

Li Junyang's eyes shone even brighter.

Shen Yanxin has always been this kind of person. As someone with social anxiety, she could never express her feelings directly; all her actions were done secretly and covertly.

She deliberately took out the lunchbox, waiting for me to see it so she could ask me about it!

"Watch out, what's that...? Is it your lunch?"

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Li Junyang coughed lightly and asked, pretending to have noticed something unintentionally.

"ah?"

Shen Yanxin was still thinking about how to get closer to Xia Che when she suddenly heard Li Junyang ask this question. She looked at the lunchbox in her hand and felt that it would be a waste of food to just throw it away. Why not just give it to Li Junyang?

"You mean this? You want to eat it? Here, take it."

So, Shen Yanxin shoved the lunchbox into Li Junyang's hand and turned to walk in the direction where Weiyang was.

The thought she had just had gave Shen Yanxin a lot of inspiration. She had many good ideas on how to build a good relationship with Xia Che. Now she urgently needed to go back to school and discuss with Mu Yingying how to implement them.

"Hey! Slow down..."

Shen Yanxin's current reaction was exactly what Li Junyang wanted. In his opinion, Shen Yanxin's behavior was exactly what he had predicted.

—It was definitely because she was shy that she rushed off after delivering the item, trying to pretend she didn't care at all!

"Your idea of ​​pretending is indeed very good, but your acting skills are terrible, haha... I've seen through you completely."

Li Junyang smiled confidently, weighed the lunchbox in his hand, and his smile deepened.

He felt he had seen through Shen Yanxin's thoughts; indeed, appropriate neglect was effective.

You should never spoil women too much.

She should be ignored!

"Hmph... I'm actually quite curious to see what kind of dish they've made for me."

"But if that's the case, it shouldn't be too far from me completely winning over Shen Yanxin, right?"

"It seems we don't need to target Mu Yingying anymore... As for the backup video we got from Wei Guang, we'll leave it for now, considering your good performance."

Li Junyang licked his lips, his eyes burning with desire.
