"If I don't trust you, why would I seek cooperation with you in the first place?" Chen Tinghan said casually.
"That's two different things." Li Zishan said, "And why do you trust me so much?"
"Why do you always ask such difficult questions?" Chen Tinghan was both amused and annoyed. He habitually tried to pull at his bangs, but found nothing. He put his hand down and said, "You don't believe me when I tell you the truth. Didn't I tell you before that because you're cute, being cute comes with privileges."
Such a conversation would seem ambiguous between ordinary boys and girls, but both of them were unusual. Li Zishan was a little shy at first, but gradually she realized that this guy was just a talker and was actually very sensible.
So under normal circumstances, she would definitely taunt him back, but for some reason today, Li Zishan was surprised. She tilted her head slightly, not looking at him, and her counterattack seemed powerless:
"You only know how to talk nonsense. How did you deceive other girls?"
Chen Tinghan was stunned, somewhat confused. She pursed her lips and gestured at his hair with her eyes.
He reached out and grabbed the hairband that belonged to Shikui and put it on at noon.
He coughed twice and said, "My sister's hair. She also thought my hair looked like a chicken coop, so I tried to tie it up."
Li Zishan opened his eyes, sparkling, and said, "Hey, fellow villager, you have a younger sister?"
The girl suddenly transformed into a lewd old man, almost making Chen Tinghan choke on his saliva. She asked, "What grade is your sister in? Where does she go to school? Is she cute? Is she pretty? How tall is she?"
Chen Tinghan finally stopped coughing and angrily scolded, "You better watch less anime!"
"Hey, what does this have to do with the anime? I'm not some fat otaku with a sister complex. I just want a sister." Li Zishan stood up and said complainingly, "My parents don't want to have children, and my aunt doesn't even have a partner."
I'm setting up a blind date for You Shenyu right now, don't worry... Chen Tinghan said: "The younger sister is very scary, not as good as she is in the animation. If she is really around you, she is even more hateful than the early Kousaka Kirino."
"Pfft." Li Zishan laughed and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. Besides, Kirino is very cute, okay?"
She walked gracefully behind Chen Tinghan, took off the hairbands on both her and his heads, let her hair hang down, and helped Chen Tinghan comb it.
"If you have a sister who's about your age, and your parents aren't the type to keep things balanced, then you two will probably be arguing from childhood to adulthood, and when you get to a more troublesome age, you might even come to blows. Well, that wouldn't be a pretty sight."
Li Zishan fixed his hair while saying, "Please, I'm the same age as you now. Even if my parents give birth to a sister soon, I'll be more than ten years older than her."
"That's even more terrifying. An eldest sister is like a mother. When you were our age, you had to deal with an Ultimate Being who was younger and dumber than you, and who had immunity within the family. You couldn't lose your temper or argue, because she truly didn't understand anything."
Li Zishan tapped him lightly on the head and said, "I've always felt that your thoughts were really negative. So your relationship with your sister is also bad?"
Chen Tinghan said calmly, "Well, it was very bad before."
"Now... there's no need to ask." Li Zishan stroked the cute pink lace hairband in her hand, and suddenly turned it over and saw a sticker on the inside of the hairband with "Shikui" written on it. She smiled slightly and put the hairband in her pocket.
She replaced Chen Tinghan's hair with her own brown hairband that was less conspicuous on his head.
Chen Tinghan said, "She has good grades and is pretty. Yesterday she even agreed to help us promote school uniforms."
"Ah." Li Zishan rubbed his arms through his clothes, looking like he had goose bumps: "So you are the one with sister complex."
He suddenly covered his forehead in pain: "Ah! No, don't say that word! The concentration of the second dimension is too high, I can't stand it."
Seeing him in pain, Li Zishan laughed frivolously: "Hehe."
"Cough." After the two of them played around for a while, someone coughed beside them, as if to remind the boy and girl to be careful. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw the waitress holding a pot and looking at the two of them with a smile on her face.
The young lady said, "I've been standing here with the pot for a while. Can I serve you two?"
Li Zishan blushed slightly, and she quickly made room and moved the schoolbag that was blocking the table away.
She was also puzzled as to why she could be so carefree in front of this guy and could easily make intimate gestures with him.
To hide her embarrassment, Li Zishan lowered her head, using the fragrant hot pot steam to cover her girlish thoughts, and then forced herself to bring up the previous topic: "How is your sister, Shikui, going to help us promote it?"
"Why... Oh, posting on Moments? She's had this habit of tagging people since she was little." Chen Tinghan waved his hand and said, "She reminded me that I could develop online channels and gave me the contact information of the moderator of the school association forum. I tried to contact them, but they haven't given me a definitive response yet."
The main dish of this store is a delicious soup made with coconut water as the base, papaya, mushrooms, corn, and chicken. Chen Tinghan served her a bowl and placed it in front of her, but the girl did not drink it. She just stirred the clear soup absentmindedly.
After a long while, she finally said, as if realizing something belatedly, "Oh, the moderator of the School Union Forum, I've heard of him. He seems to be a money-grubbing guy who likes to stir up trouble. I'm afraid he's not easy to get along with."
"Shi Kui also told me about the relevant situation. When it comes to getting paid to do things, it's quite reliable, but it can easily make things worse. Usually the school doesn't bother to deal with such matters, but if our scale becomes large and we come into their sight, it's hard to say for sure."
