After the confession, there was silence.
Xia Li sat back down in her chair.
Li Si leaned against the table, arms crossed, watching the little girl who kept glancing at him.
After being noticed, Xia Li stuck out her tongue:
"What the hell are you looking at!"
Li Si pushed up his glasses and said:
"Given the context of this statement, it's not very friendly to you, Xia Li."
Xia Li: ...
Li Si: ...
Then they remained silent.
If the ending is a confession, then it would be quite perfect for Li Si.
But it won't end here like in a novel; things will continue to develop.
Many people aim for a successful confession, but they don't really know what to do afterward...
Fortunately, the atmosphere wasn't awkward because of this.
Xia Li suddenly seemed to have thought of something:
"Oh, right, Brother Bei..."
The two reviewed the situation again.
Xia Li suddenly realized that the stinky fox was also a victim...
She originally thought that this guy and Lu Yibei had teamed up to lure her here.
Xia Li looked down on it:
"You're usually so clever, but you're completely fooled at a time like this."
Li Si: ...
He could only shrug.
He can't say for sure, but judging from the result, he still won.
"...Let's go settle the score with Brother Bei!"
Xia Li jumped up from her chair, then turned back to Li Si and raised an eyebrow: "This time you're not allowed to side with him!"
Li Si: ...
He still didn't answer.
He still couldn't say.
"Oh, and there's more..."
Xia Li added that she felt it was better to emphasize it beforehand to avoid awkwardness for both of them later. She made a slightly disgusted gesture, but still managed to say it: "Although I said I like you... I only like you a little bit..."
As she spoke, she gestured with her thumb and forefinger, making a tiny gap between them:
"So! Don't expect any intimate behavior from me...like kissing or hugging! I can't stand it at all—at least not now."
Li Si smiled, then nodded and hummed in agreement.
"Do you have any suggestions?... Don't get angry at me again later when things go wrong." Xia Li asked.
Li Si thought for a moment, shook his head slightly, and then narrowed his cunning eyes:
"Perhaps we could change the way we address each other."
"…Um?"
"My dear, or my precious..."
"Go to hell!"
Xia Li jumped up and delivered a knee strike to Li Si's stomach: "Dream on, you pervert."
Li Si was in pain, but he still smiled, happy.
Xia Li put her hands on her hips, walked angrily to the door, then turned to look at Li Si behind her, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
She vigorously wiped her hands on her trouser leg.
Li Si: "...What's wrong?"
Xia Li raised her hand: "Holding hands... is still barely acceptable."
Li Si was somewhat surprised, then immediately grabbed Xia Li's small hand.
The girl's hands were softer than I had imagined, and not cold at all; in fact, they were warmer than Li Si's.
Xia Li's face flushed slightly. She lowered her eyes and said earnestly:
"Wait a minute..."
"Um."
"If we were to fight Brother Bei, I could feign an attack from the front while you sneak up from behind... No, Brother Bei's reactions are too fast. If you feign an attack from the front while I sneak up from behind... you'd definitely be taken down in no time..."
Li Si: ...
He hadn't expected that this girl was actually considering how to fight this battle.
"This is the first time we've teamed up, we can't afford to lose."
Xia Li confidently pushed open the door to the student council office, then: "...Huh?"
The two of them noticed a paper bag hanging on the front door.
Xia Li immediately shook off Li Si's hand, opened the bag, and looked inside.
Li Si: ...
He stared at his hands, which had been blissfully empty for less than thirty seconds.
"It's milk tea."
Xia Li was pleasantly surprised, and then glanced at the delivery receipt, which listed the recipient as... "Lu Yibei".
"...He really is waiting for his takeout."
Li Si took the form from Xia Li and glanced at it. Xia Li then noticed that there was writing on the back of the form.
Li Si turned it over.
Two lines of slender yet sharp handwriting.
"The sky outside the window is clear and blue."
"This foreshadows something good happening."
Li Si glanced at Xia Li.
Xia Li also looked at Li Si.
One chuckled softly, while the other broke into a smile brighter than a clear blue sky.
"Brother Bei brought two drinks..."
Xia Li shook one of the green cups, which tasted like coconut matcha... while the other cup was red, and tasted more like strawberry or cherry.
She carefully observed the base color of the two cups.
Suddenly, as if blessed, her eyes flashed, and with a bang, the brilliant strategist Xia Li made her grand entrance!
Xia Li inserted all the straws into the drink, then took a sip from the left and savored it, then took another sip from the right and tasted it.
She used to have to rely on experience to distribute milk tea.
But if you have to rely on experience to date now, then what the hell is the point of dating?
"I want this one!"
Without saying a word, Xia Li forcefully shoved the red cup into Li Si's hand.
Li Si: "...Isn't this a bit unfair to me?"
"You liked me first, so if you want fairness, then don't like me at all~" Xia Li said smugly.
Li Si smiled wryly and could only take a sip through the straw:
"...Not bad either."
He looked at the satisfied little girl again: "Are you still looking for Brother Bei?"
Xia Li: "Spare his life."
