"Why not?!" Shi Li was a little dazed.
'Why is this guy rejecting me again?'
'I've been rejected more by Shi Zhiyan than by everyone else in my entire life combined.'
At the thought, Shi Li couldn't help but feel like throwing a little tantrum.
She immediately climbed off Shi Zhiyan and took a step to the side, as if to draw a clear line between them.
She huffed and pointedly ignored him.
But she didn't go far, just moved a short distance away.
She was clearly waiting for Shi Zhiyan to coax her.
"Honestly, must you ask 'why' for everything?"
"Wasn't I clear enough just now?"
"You've seen for yourself how terrifying people's hearts can be."
"You've already given so much, yet there are still people who resent you. Imagine what someone like that would do if they suddenly gained a superpower—what kind of anti-social acts they might commit."
