Luo Zhihan smiled as she cooked the vegetables for her, her expression unchanged: "I like spicy food, but I might not be able to tolerate this level of spiciness."

Xie Li looked at him with some sympathy. It's not easy for someone who likes to eat but can't.

After the two ate for a while, Xie Li's phone rang. She glanced at it, then put it back without much concern.

"What's wrong?" Luo Zhihan asked, smiling as she looked over.

"Li Chen... that's my friend. He asked me to go out for lunch together."

Luo Zhihan paused for a moment, "He's not from our school, is he?"

We're not from the same school, is it really necessary for us to eat together?

Xie Li: "Yes, he's always treated me like his mother since we were little. He wants to rely on me for everything. He even wants to go to the toilet with me. So what's wrong with asking me to have a meal together?"

When it came to his friends, Xie Li felt like he had a lot to complain about, but after thinking about it, he decided to let it go. After all, everyone has grown up, so let's save face for each other.

She shrugged. "I guess some people are just born to be pampered."

Unlike her, even though she was born into a wealthy family, she was destined not to be a rich heiress.

Whether she becomes a rich girl or not doesn't matter to her; all she wants now is to study hard and get into university!

Looking at her exquisite and perfect profile, Luo Zhihan felt an urge to reach out and ruffle her hair.

——

By the time the two finished their hotpot and rushed back to school, it was already lunchtime, and the school gate was bustling with people.

As soon as Xie Li got out of the car, a figure darted in front of her, looking mournful: "Brother Li, why didn't you reply to my WeChat messages? I was waiting for you to have dinner together."

Before Xie Li could speak, he turned his head and saw the person getting out of the car, and immediately the hairs on his body stood on end.

The fact that the other person remained silent and expressionless made him feel a deep sense of crisis.

"How could you be with him?" Li Chen's grievances and resentment were almost palpable.

Xie Li: "..."

"Never mind why we're together," Xie Li said. "You haven't eaten yet? Are you crazy? There's a restaurant over there, hurry up and go!"

Having experienced hunger as a child, she dislikes others who don't eat on time.

Seeing that Xie Li was about to lose her temper, Li Chen turned around and prepared to leave, feeling wronged. But after taking only a couple of steps, he turned back and asked, "Will you come with me?"

Luo Zhihan raised an eyebrow slightly.

But he didn't expect Li Chen's trick to be so effective. Xie Li rubbed his temples in annoyance and turned to leave.

"Hurry up, keep up!"

Luo Zhihan stood there, watching the two figures disappear into the distance.

Even halfway there, Li Chen seemed to sense something and turned back triumphantly, making a provocative gesture towards him.

"Young Master." The driver in the front seat had gotten out of the car at some point, looking completely calm. "How about we get someone to teach this kid a lesson?"

How dare they provoke his young master? Have they got some nerve?

Luo Zhihan replied calmly, "No need."

He turned and walked towards the school gate, the coldness in his eyes not yet completely dissipated.

——

"Young Master Han?" came a surprised voice.

Luo Zhihan raised his eyes slightly and glanced indifferently at the girl in front of him.

Jiang Baili tossed her hair, a restrained surprise in her eyes. She hadn't expected to run into Luo Zhihan so unexpectedly.

Especially at such close range, she could see the other person's temperament even more, making her heart flutter.

She smiled and said, "I am Jiang Baili from the Jiang family in the capital. I met you at the Xie family's house last time. I wonder if you still remember me..."
