She had never seen Li Yuzhe like this before, and Li Yuzhe had never seen her like this before either.
Yesterday, he was furious and shouted, but I didn't get a response. Yet, he still came today.
Li Yuzhe assumed that Liu Shengnan had dressed up specifically for him, which was presumptuous of her, but he needed to have some confidence, since Liu Shengnan didn't seem to like him.
"What do you need me for?"
When the two met, Liu Shengnan took the initiative. Noticing Li Yuzhe's gaze, she subtly and awkwardly clenched her skirt with her lowered arm.
After getting up, she naturally picked up the new dress she had bought after returning home. Only after everything was tidied up did she realize what had happened.
Why did I wear this dress to meet Li Yuzhe? Why am I acting like I'm crazy?
But since I've already worn them, it's too late to change them now. Besides, clothes are meant to be worn, so why worry about Li Yuzhe?
Yes, what is she struggling with?
This is her dress; whether she wears it or not is her own business and has nothing to do with anyone else. She's just obsessing over something like this.
After composing herself and going downstairs, the mental preparation she had painstakingly built up crumbled instantly under Li Yuzhe's gaze.
I started to feel nervous involuntarily, and I didn't even know why; it was all very inexplicable.
She attributed it all to her own illness.
Li Yuzhe raised an eyebrow: "I'm a complete novice here. I'll be staying here for four years, so I'll need to find you, a local, to help me find my way around."
He handed her the steamed bun in his hand.
"Here's breakfast. Don't say I'm heartless for calling you out and then not giving you food."
Liu Shengnan didn't take it, looking at him suspiciously: "So kind of you? It's not poisoned, is it?"
Li Yuzhe pretended to retract his words: "Fine, don't eat it then."
"Hey, who says I won't eat? If I don't eat, I'll eat. I'm still a strong laborer that you dragged here."
He snatched the bun, opened the bag, took a bite, and looked up with an expression that seemed to say, "I've taken a bite; if you don't mind, you can take it."
Although Li Yuzhe truly doesn't mind, it's not possible right now.
He simply shook his head, signaling her to follow, and walked towards the school's parking shed.
"Where to? Wasn't I just showing you the way?"
With the steamed bun in his mouth, he spoke very indistinctly.
Li Yuzhe said helplessly, "Finish eating first before you talk."
"We're going out, so we're going to ride our bicycles."
There was no sound around me. I turned my head and saw someone struggling to swallow a steamed bun, but their eyes were full of confusion.
Are you asking if I bought it?
Li Yuzhe acted as her mouth double.
"I bought it myself, it's more convenient."
Liu Shengnan nodded and finally finished eating the steamed bun.
Since I'm just idling around anyway, I might as well find something to do or something to talk about.
"You have a bicycle, why don't you just ride it over instead of walking such a long way?"
"Uh..." Could he say he was a little too excited to remember? And he was also eager to see her.
You definitely can't say that. Instead, you should readily admit your mistake: "Okay, I was wrong. I'll definitely make arrangements better next time so you won't have to suffer any trouble."
Liu Shengnan was not used to his behavior. She knew that before, this guy was always arguing with her, so she was quite unaccustomed to his sudden and straightforward apology.
Furthermore, she was deliberately causing trouble. And what about next time? This time it was just her being soft-hearted; there won't be a next time.
For a moment, she didn't respond, and the atmosphere became awkward.
Liu Shengnan turned her head, pretending to observe the people or things around her.
Seeing this, Li Yuzhe didn't say anything more.
As she looked around, Liu Shengnan remembered something else. She turned around and looked at the man who was a head taller than her with a puzzled expression.
"Isn't your home in Beijing? What are you doing here?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuzhe glanced at Liu Shengnan with an expression that Liu Shengnan couldn't understand.
He asked in a light tone, "Then why don't you commute to school since you live so close to home?"
Is this the same thing?
How can this person be lumped together?
"I choose to commute to school so I can have more personal space, and also give my parents some space. Familiarity breeds contempt, don't you understand?"
"Besides, why are you asking me? Is Beijing as far from here as I am from home? And does my family agree to this?"
Li Yuzhe shrugged: "My parents passed away three years ago. My uncle and aunt are very kind, but they're not family, so I don't want to trouble them. I'm all grown up now."
"They're not children, and they can't interfere with my decisions, so it doesn't matter where I go."
Liu Shengnan pursed her lips, "I'm sorry, I didn't know..."
She's such a cheerful person, you can't tell at all.
Li Yuzhe smiled indifferently and changed the subject: "Alright, tour guide Liu, show me around."
Having started this whole thing and stirred up other people's painful memories, Liu Shengnan went to great lengths to find places she remembered as fun.
Of course, while taking care of Li Yuzhe's feelings, she also went completely crazy herself.
Ever since she returned from the Red Flag Brigade, her former best friends have kept their distance from her, subtly hinting that she got into university.
She's not just sitting around with a smile, listening to them talk about her.
She simply stopped playing, so since she came back, she's only gone out with her dear mother once or twice.
This time they can really let loose!
Moreover, all expenses today are paid for by Mr. Li Yuzhe, so he doesn't have to spend his own money and can do whatever he wants happily.
Of course, she was a little embarrassed, but Li Yuzhe himself said that he had dragged her here to do hard labor, so how could he let her spend money? What kind of person would he be?
That's what he said, it has nothing to do with her.
The two hurried towards school as the sun set.
After running all day and working up a sweat, a gentle breeze brought a refreshing coolness.
Liu Shengnan sat on the back of the bicycle, humming a little tune happily.
Li Yuzhe, standing in front, couldn't help but widen his smile.
