The two idiots completely ignored the frustrated Lu Jiming and happily strolled around the streets.
Jiang Li's eyes lit up as she stared at a lot of snacks.
Crispy rice cakes, spicy stir-fried rice cakes, rolled rice cakes, roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), stinky tofu...
Whether she had eaten it before or not, Jiang Li wanted to try anything that looked delicious.
Jiang Li held a piece of black stinky tofu to Lu Shiyan's lips, who was carrying a bunch of food in his hands. "Ayan, have a taste."
Lu Shiyan had never eaten this stuff before; the smell alone made him want to run away.
Seeing Jiang Li's hopeful expression, Lu Shiyan still opened his mouth with difficulty and bit into a corner of the stinky tofu.
Jiang Li found it somewhat amusing. "Hurry up and eat it. Aren't you afraid of dropping it while you're chewing like that?"
Lu Shiyan: "..."
There's still some psychological barrier.
But under Jiang Li's watchful gaze, he still ate it.
Um?
It smells strange, but...
It seems... edible?
"How is it? How is it?" Jiang Li asked anxiously when she saw that Lu Shiyan had eaten it.
"It's edible," Lu Shiyan replied with a very conservative three-word answer.
For Lu Shiyan, there was nothing particularly delicious; only unpalatable, palatable, and passable...
"Then I'll try it." Jiang Li stuffed the stinky tofu, soaked in broth, into her mouth.
Jiang Li chewed two bites with a death-defying air, and then her eyes lit up.
"Hmm...not bad...Ah Yan, your evaluation is really too low."
After asking Lu Shiyan symbolically if he wanted more, and receiving a negative answer, Jiang Li happily prepared to eat the rest of the stinky tofu.
"Wow...so handsome! That couple is such a good-looking couple!"
Two girls walked together, each carrying two shopping bags. One of the girls stared at Lu Shiyan and Jiang Li with shining eyes and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Hearing this, another girl looked over and her gaze fell on Lu Shiyan. A hint of amazement flashed in her eyes, but then she glanced at Jiang Li, who was eating stinky tofu next to her, and couldn't help but curl her lips, "What's so pleasing to the eye? Eating stinky tofu? Disgusting!"
"What's wrong with stinky tofu? Lots of people like it. You can't hate people who eat it just because you don't like it, right?" the girl who spoke first said helplessly. "But why does that girl look so familiar? Have I seen her somewhere before?"
"Tch, who doesn't look familiar to you? Hypocrite!"
"Okay, maybe I misread it, but their aura is really amazing. They're like the male and female protagonists in a novel, so dazzling."
"The male and female protagonists in the novel come to the university town to eat stinky tofu? Don't make me laugh. Look at their poor and shabby faces, they're disgusting."
"You... never mind, I won't argue with you about this... Huh? Senior Zheng?"
"Senior Zheng? Where is he? Where is he?"
"Look, it's just ahead, not far away."
"Wait for me a moment, I'm going to say a few words to him, I'll be right back!"
"Hey...you..."
"..."
The entire conversation between the two was heard by Jiang Li and Lu Shiyan.
Jiang Li slowly ate another piece of stinky tofu, glanced at Lu Shiyan, and said, "A poor, shabby look? Are you talking about you or me?"
Jiang Li felt that although she couldn't be considered a rich person, well...
Compared to the average person, she is definitely a wealthy young woman with considerable assets.
As for Lu Shiyan...
Haha, she wouldn't dare say she's the world's richest person, but she's definitely the richest person in the country, right?
"It probably refers to..." Lu Shiyan had clearly never been spoken to like that before, and hesitated before answering, "The two of us?"
"Forget it, what others think is none of our business. It won't cost us anything, and it won't affect our eating."
As she spoke, Jiang Li took another bite of stinky tofu.
After buying most of the snacks that interested them in the area, Jiang Li pulled Lu Shiyan into a small restaurant that caught her eye.
The small restaurant was quite crowded, but luckily there was still an empty table, so Jiang Li and Lu Shiyan went over.
After ordering the food, they sent Lu Jiming their location and waited for the food to be served.
"Senior Zheng, the food here is really good. It's my favorite restaurant near the school gate, especially for painting." A sweet, coquettish voice reached Jiang Li's ears.
The sound instantly sent shivers down Jiang Li's spine.
But that voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Jiang Li looked over...
Oh, it's the person who said they looked poor and shabby.
Wasn't he talking normally before?
What's going on now?
Did your throat get caught in a door? Or did a cat snatch your tongue?
"Really?" The boy, who was called Senior Zheng, was pleasantly surprised to hear the news. "If Huahua likes it, then I'll bring her over to eat later."
"I really envy Huahua for being liked by Senior Zheng like this." The girl's tone was full of envy. "It's just a pity that Huahua is such a blockhead, she doesn't understand your feelings at all, Senior Zheng. You really are something, if you like her, just confess! You're so secretive, she doesn't even know you like her."
Senior Zheng gave a helpless, bitter smile. "Drawing is different from other things. I don't want to reveal my feelings too abruptly. What if she doesn't like me? Wouldn't we be unable to even be friends?"
“That’s true. I hope Senior Zheng can achieve his wish soon.” The girl’s tone was somewhat gloomy, but then she changed her tone and comforted him, “But if Senior Zheng fails, don’t be too discouraged. Look around at the people around you. You will find that there are more than just painting that you can like.”
Zheng was lost in his own thoughts and didn't catch the girl's hidden meaning.
Realizing she was talking to a brick wall again, the girl's eyes filled with resentment.
The aura emanating from that body...
Tsk...
Jiang Li couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
"Are all men like this?" Jiang Li felt that the conversation between the two men was meaningless and lacked substance, but it suddenly gave her a sense of enlightenment, so she asked directly.
Lu Shiyan looked bewildered. "What?"
Jiang Li didn't explain much, but asked Lu Shiyan slowly and deliberately, "Tell me... did you plan this all along?"
I never thought about it that way before, but now...
Jiang Li's eyes were full of doubt.
Given that Ayan usually doesn't interact with women at all, his sudden change of behavior and constant contact with me seems very unreasonable.
Don't say that because she's a master of metaphysics, and the amulet she gave him saved his life, it's only right that he approached her.
But……
Lu Jiming was her deskmate, but if it was just because of that reason...
Why not just let Lu Jiming interact with her directly?
After all, he's the head of a large corporation; where would he find the time to spend all his time on her?
Jiang Li felt something was wrong the more she thought about it, and belatedly realized that she seemed to have been tricked from the very beginning.
