After class, Chen Jingjing went to find her roommate to go back together. As she left, she touched Ali's hand and said, "Don't be too reserved. Hurry up and win him over. I can also get to know more junior students through you."
Ah Li slowly withdrew her hand, then looked towards the door; Xie Xi'an hadn't arrived yet.
Yes, he didn't know she had moved to this classroom.
Ah Li put away her books and left the classroom, heading back to her previous classroom.
When they arrived at the classroom, Xie Xi'an stood there with his head down, seemingly lost in thought.
Ahri slowly walked over and called out, "Classmate Xie."
Xie Xi'an looked up at Ali and said, "I knew it, Senior Sister would come back to find me."
Ahri slowly looked away. "I was just passing by the library."
"Yes, I know. Senior, you were just passing by. You didn't come here specifically to see me."
Xie Xi'an followed closely beside Ali, so close that Ali could smell the sunshine on him.
Xie Xi'an had a very handsome smile, and he even said, "Senior, may I call you by your name?"
"Okay, my name is Shen Li."
Xie Xi'an originally wanted to call her Xiao Qi, but seeing Ah Li so solemnly say that her name was Shen Li, he called out, "Senior Sister Shen Li."
"Um."
Xie Xi'an's smile grew even brighter, and his eyes sparkled with a light that Ah Li couldn't understand.
Ahri felt a little uncomfortable, so she quickened her pace, wanting to leave this atmosphere.
Xie Xi'an followed closely behind Ali, almost as if he was trying to keep up. He even tried to start a conversation, "Chen, do you go to the library often?"
Ahri thought for a moment and said, "It's alright, I like to go there to find some information."
"Can I ask you if I don't understand something, senior?"
"Yes, if it's something I know the answer to, you can ask me."
"So, senior, would you be my girlfriend?"
Xie Xi'an took two quick steps forward and stopped Ah Li; he was very serious.
Ahri felt her cheeks burning. Was this what it felt like to be pursued?
"I have no idea."
Before they knew it, Ali and Xie Xi'an left the teaching building and walked along the tree-lined path. Sunlight filtered through the leaves and dappled light and shadow on them.
At that moment, Xie Xi'an said to Ah Li, "Let's make this clear first, I'm reserving your boyfriend's spot, and you can't agree to it for anyone else but me."
"That's too domineering."
"If I were really domineering, then I would have to force myself on you."
"Go away, I don't want to talk to you anymore."
Ah Li glared at Xie Xi'an, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.
Xie Xi'an shut up. He couldn't push people too far; he needed to maintain a balance.
Neither of them spoke the rest of the way.
Xie Xi'an, on the other hand, picked up a lot of leaves. When he noticed Ah Li looking at him, he said to Ah Li as if showing off a treasure, "Senior, look, they are all heart shapes."
Ah Li looked away. This person was really intoxicating, but he was only a freshman. Wouldn't it make her seem too easy to agree so quickly?
At this moment, Xie Xi'an leaned closer again, "Senior, you know what? I was just thinking, could I call you my wife in the future?"
It's still something you can look at but not eat, and this person is deliberately saying these things. Ahri is a little angry. "That's enough. I'm not a wishing tree."
Xie Xi'an noticed that Ah Li seemed a little angry. He said, "I read some online guides that said even the most stoic woman can be won over by a persistent suitor, so that's why I pursued you this way. If you don't like it, I'll try a different approach."
Ahri said very seriously, "I don't like you doing that. It annoys me and makes me feel childish."
"Okay, I won't do it that way anymore. I'll change, senior."
Xie Xi'an carefully tugged at Ah Li's hand.
Ahri withdrew her hand, turned around, and left.
Xie Xi'an didn't chase after him this time; he stopped.
Ali went to eat, but Xie Xi'an didn't show up.
Ah Li went to the library, but Xie Xi'an didn't show up.
After that, Xie Xi'an calmed down, and Ali continued with her class.
Sometimes I also participate in activities, such as speech contests and club activities.
Ali would also post photos on his WeChat Moments, either of him studying hard in the library, or of the food in the cafeteria, or of the trees and clouds on campus.
Also, go watch Xie Xi'an play.
Xie Xi'an would sometimes spot Ah Li, but he wasn't as aggressive as before.
The two would often bump into each other at school. Xie Xi'an would sometimes give Ali candy, sometimes water, and sometimes food, and would say, "Senior, is this okay?"
Ahri felt this was fine; she didn't feel annoyed, and he didn't feel tired.
Guo Feifei, well, it's been a long time since I've seen her.
Xie Xi'an also confirmed with his childhood friend that the person who stole the picture was Guo Feifei, Ah Li's roommate.
Because, in order to play the victim and gain sympathy, Guo Feifei took a picture of herself lying in the infirmary, without showing her face.
Xie Xi'an was still thinking: No wonder she appeared so coincidentally when he bought milk tea for Ali that time, and even said that Ali called her.
Xie Xi'an had a lot of evidence collected, and then he sent it to Ah Li.
However, Ali didn't receive Xie Xi'an's message immediately because she had no classes in the afternoon and was at an internet cafe researching information.
Chen Jingjing was also there; she wasn't looking up information, she was playing games.
"Ah Li, help me! I'm going to die!"
"Wait, I haven't finished reading this information yet."
"Don't look yet, I'll be finished by the time you finish watching. Help me first, and I'll renew your subscription later."
