"I was waiting to have dinner with you, so how could I leave?" Li Yuan replied matter-of-factly, without a hint of shame.
Just as Xia Zhijin was about to decline, she heard Li Yuan plead pitifully, "Classmate Xia Zhijin, you've already rejected me once. You don't plan to reject me again, do you?"
Seeing Li Yuan's pitiful expression, Xia Zhijin chuckled. Her bright smile was like the morning sun in spring, leaving Li Yuan stunned.
Realizing her reaction was improper, Xia Zhijin quickly lowered her head, her face flushing red.
Li Yuan came to his senses, savoring the memory. Xia Zhijin is so incredibly innocent. She's just too adorable, especially when she laughs.
"Zhijin, you're from Shancheng, so you must be able to handle spicy food, right?"
Xia Zhijin hadn't noticed that Li Yuan was gradually and subtly closing the distance between them.
"Yes, I can... I can handle spicy food."
