But the words she spoke were enough to make Xia Li instinctively back away.
"That's right, Xia Li, you're very smart. I like you."
Xia Li: ...
Li Si frowned: "Xia Li, don't cover your ears."
Xia Li: "No."
Li Si: "It's no use trying to cover it up; you still heard it."
Xia Li: "I didn't hear that."
Li Si sighed, then looked intently at the somewhat clownish little girl:
"Xia Li, please respect me. Even if you refuse, give me an answer."
Xia Li kept her arm raised, two fingers tucked into her ear, for several seconds before finally throwing her arm away in frustration: "So annoying! So annoying! So annoying! Why do you have to like me? Can't you like someone else?! Fu Chi clearly said that a very outstanding senior confessed to you before, why did you reject her and say 'I don't want to be in a relationship' as an excuse... I really believed his nonsense!!"
Li Si listened attentively to Xia Li's complaints before speaking:
"It's because I met you that I want to be in a relationship."
Xia Li was stunned.
She then walked to the chair, leaned against it listlessly, her small face turned towards the ceiling, lost in thought.
The girl's reaction gave Li Si a bad feeling.
But since she's willing to listen to him, he should at least listen to her reply.
She pondered for a long while, her small face shifting from tense to smiling, then tense again, before finally lowering her eyes and looking at Li Si with a smile:
"I'm very happy."
Li Si: ...
"I'm happy in the student council, even though there's a lot of work. Sometimes being with you makes me angry, but looking back, I'm still happy. It's fun to tease Xiao Fu together, and it's also fun to complete tasks with Xiao Fu and tease you together."
Xia Li said as if she were being honest, "I'm very happy to hear that you like me. Although I often criticize you, you're great. I feel like I'm a really amazing person to be liked by you... I'm very happy. I like the student council, I like you, and I like Xiao Fu."
Li Si gave a soft "hmm" and listened carefully to Xia Li's answer.
I didn't feel my fist clenching or my fingertips turning white.
"Although I only found out yesterday that you like me, thinking back on it now... you can be mean at times, but you can also be really nice at other times."
Xia Li isn't very good at finding the effect from the cause, but she can deduce the cause from the effect.
In other words, after knowing that Li Si likes her, she thinks about things that happened in the past, such as going to have dinner with Bei Ge together, the postcards from Wuzhen, the welcome party, the movie, and even this Christmas gift.
The overflowing favoritism made these events traceable.
For example, regarding the "watching a movie" thing, she originally thought, "Oh, that old fox is going to freeload off the movie tickets from the anime club too."
But now that I think about it, I realize that she wanted to go back with me.
hey-hey.
Xia Li didn't sleep well last night; she hid under the covers and chuckled to herself.
"Your good parts are really good, but your bad parts aren't that bad either."
Xia Li smiled innocently, her cute tiger teeth peeking out from her lips. She propped herself up on the chair with her hands, swinging her legs back and forth with obvious pleasure: "After finding out that you like me, I really feel like I'm really liked... um... I also quite like you who likes me... It's a bit of a mouthful. But the gist is, after finding out that you like me, I've also started to like you a little bit."
Li Si nodded.
Xia Li continued nervously, asking in a low voice:
"If I can't agree to be with you, does that mean we can't see each other anymore?"
Li Si was also unable to provide an answer to this question.
He could only reply, "If you agree to be with me because you're afraid of this, then I'd rather not."
"I never agreed to be with you in the first place," Xia Li pouted.
Li Si: ...
He didn't expect that he would be rejected so casually and decisively, and that the person rejecting him even had a hint of disdain in their words.
Xia Li braced herself on the chair, stood up, and said confidently:
“You dead fox. Thank you for liking me, but I can't be with you. It's not because I don't like you, but because I can't go to Qingdao; I have to stay in Hangzhou.”
As she spoke, Xia Li raised her fist at Li Si, her eyes shining as if a few tears were welling up.
She sniffed softly, making a slurping sound:
"Come on, let's bump fists, and we'll call it even. Don't ignore me from now on..."
Li Si's mind was a bit of a mess.
The lingering dizziness of being bluntly rejected was still fresh when the confession, "It's not because I don't like you," came crashing down on her.
Then there were terms like "Qingdao" and "Hangzhou," which even he found somewhat incomprehensible.
Seeing that Li Si refused to make a fist, Xia Li lowered her hand in deep disappointment:
"Never mind, it's normal if you don't want to talk to me... but please don't be disappointed in yourself, you have no problems."
Li Si was still pondering when he finally spoke up and asked a crucial question:
Why go to Qingdao?
Xia Li was taken aback and asked in return, "Aren't you from Qingdao?"
Li Si: "That's right."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Xia Li was even more taken aback: "Then we have to go to Qingdao after we get married?"
Li Si: ...
"Get-married!?"
Wait, Xia Li? We've only just started talking about liking each other, and you're already getting married?
Seeing Li Si's astonished expression, Xia Lixing's eyes widened in surprise:
