This is contrary to Yuwen Sheng's personality.
Even if he pretends to be easy to get along with, he will not engage in long conversations with others unless necessary, and he has never had any experience of casual chatting.
But seeing that she was in the mood to chat, he went along with it as if it were only natural.
"I'm waiting for you."
Just three words, yet they made Zheng Quchi's heart skip a beat.
Has this guy gone off to study somewhere? How come he's suddenly become so good at flirting?
"If I come back late, or if something comes up and I don't come back today, will you still wait for me?" she asked curiously.
Yuwen Sheng took a step forward, with Zheng Quchi following beside him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "No."
Zheng Quchi wasn't angry or disappointed. Instead, he said with relief, "That's right. If you're going to wait, wait for me at home. Waiting until night on a snowy day isn't sincerity, it's foolishness. I know you're waiting for me and will eventually come home. Wouldn't it be nice if you sat by the fire, eating something warm and cozy while you waited for me?"
Yuwen Sheng imagined the scene as she described it, then smiled and said, "It wasn't intentional, but I just wanted to pick you up as soon as possible."
As for why he wanted to see her and pick her up as soon as possible, he didn't think about it deeply; he just thought it that way and did it that way.
That upturned smile is so heartwarming.
"That day... I left in a hurry, you weren't angry, were you?"
"So what if I'm angry, and so what if I'm not?"
"If you're angry, I have to make you happy. I specially bought you some nice things in the county town this time. By the way, have you finished the candy I gave you before?"
"No."
"Don't be stingy with your candy. I bought some more this time. Promise me that whenever you're unhappy or in a bad mood, you should eat more candy and not be frugal, because I'll buy it for you."
"Okay, I've got it."
"I also bought some New Year's gifts for my older brother and younger sister, would you like to take a look..."
His smile faded slightly, and he glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, giving a dismissive "Oh~" without any interest.
He didn't try to hide his expression, so Zheng Quchi could tell his displeasure at a glance.
"..." Don't you know that everyone should be treated equally? You're happy when I buy something for you, but unhappy when I buy something for someone else. You shouldn't be so jealous, you know?
Perhaps it was Zheng Quchi's sudden silence that made Yuwen Sheng realize that he had "acted up".
"I'm not unhappy."
He smiled at her again.
Tch, trying to cover it up only makes it more obvious.
She leaned closer and whispered to him, "I bought you even more."
He paused for a moment upon hearing this, then a smile spread from the corners of his upturned lips to the depths of his crescent-shaped eyes, finally revealing a hint of sincerity.
"Um."
Zheng Quchi tilted his head to observe him, grinning, thinking to himself, "He's really easy to fool."
He believed it was just a white lie.
