He wisely swallowed his words.
Shiyue lowered her head and thought for a long time before tentatively asking again, "How about I buy your train ticket back? You don't need to give me the money."
"Sure." He Lixuan answered very readily this time, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
The train ticket from the county town to Donglin costs 56 cents, and he thinks he can afford it in Shiyue.
Most importantly—this way he won't have to think of any more reasons to ask her when she'll be back.
Finally, having smoothed out the man's hair, Shiyue breathed a sigh of relief.
She pulled the package over and took out the oil cake that had become cold.

Shiyue took out the enamel mug that He Lixuan had brought that morning to hold steamed buns, washed it clean, and scalded it with boiling water.

He reached out and took the chopsticks, exclaiming, "You brought so much stuff!"

But a hint of smugness lingered in his eyes.
He looked like a child who had gone to great lengths to do a good deed, eagerly anticipating being discovered and praised.
But when they are actually discovered, they pretend not to care.
They're just so incredibly cute.
He Lixuan picked up the egg tea and took a sip to hide the smile on his lips.
But the tenderness in his eyes was impossible to hide.
