Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Only then did Liu Shishi realize that the surrounding people seemed to be looking at the two of them secretly. She instantly blushed and hurriedly lowered her head. She said slowly, “Yes, then quickly pay the bill.”

Li An nodded and went to pay. Liu Shishi lowered her head and hurriedly left the New Nam Kee restaurant, immediately feeling relieved.

At this moment, she belatedly recalled that Li An had touched her head!

What was even stranger was that she did not seem to dislike it?

Li An quickly came out. He smiled and said, “Shall we go shopping now?”

Liu Shishi, who had originally planned to leave after eating, nodded naturally. “Alright.”

Therefore, the two of them walked side by side and did not speak in tacit understanding. They seemed to be digesting the food or recalling the scene just now.

Soon, Liu Shishi broke the silence, “It was my fault just now. I didn’t expect you to know so much.”

Li An turned around and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

Liu Shishi looked at Li An and replied, “I shouldn’t have provoked you… Eh, it’s just…”

She could not describe her unreasonable actions in the end, but Li An followed her words.

“Provoked my interest?”

“Tsk!” Liu Shishi glared at him with her beautiful eyes and firmly refused to admit it, “No!”

Li An nodded with a faint smile.

Liu Shishi bit her lip and said stubbornly, “I admit that I know less than you, but this doesn’t mean that Su Shi is inferior to Li Bai!”

This was the first time in her life that Liu Shishi had lost to her peers in terms of knowledge of literature. This made her feel as if she had gotten to know Li An again. She had never thought that he, who had never displayed this talent in the past, would be so powerful!

Although she had lost the debate today, she felt content. This was something she had never felt before. She even wanted to do it again. This also made Liu Shishi feel that she seemed to have a common topic with Li An.

Li An nodded helplessly, then reached out and touched her head.

“Stop!” Liu Shishi hurriedly dodged and glared at him.

Li An was stunned. Then, for some reason, a lonely expression appeared on his face. He nodded and retracted his hand.

Liu Shishi pursed her lips. For a moment, she actually felt inexplicably guilty and wanted to pick up his hand and place it on hers…

Stop, stop, stop. What dangerous thoughts were these?

Li An rolled his eyes and decided to retreat for the sake of advancing. He said, “It’s getting late. Shall I send you back?”

Liu Shishi hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Alright.”

It was indeed getting late. They chatted for a long time so it was almost eight o’clock. If she was any later, her parents might call her.

The two of them arrived at the underground garage in silence. Then, they got into the car and walked in silence until they reached the entrance of Liu Shishi’s neighborhood.

“Then I’ll send you here. Be careful on the way. Send me a message when you get home,” Li An said politely.

Liu Shishi glanced at him and nodded. “Yes, you too. Also, thank you for treating me to a meal today and sending me back.”

“It’s my duty. Didn’t I say that it’s an apology?” Li An said indifferently.

Liu Shishi did not get out of the car immediately. She lowered her head and did not look at Li An’s face. She slowly unbuckled her seatbelt and said, “Then, let’s get together another day. I’ll treat you then. How about it?”

“Anything is fine. I’ll listen to you,” Li An said gently.

Liu Shishi could not help but look up at him, but she only saw gentleness and sadness on his face. At this moment, her heart skipped a beat and she had an indescribable feeling.

Liu Shishi did not dare to think too much about it. She nodded casually and got out of the car. In the end, she waved at Li An and walked into the district.

When she turned the corner, she looked back and discovered that the car was still there. The person in the car seemed to still be looking at her, wanting to see her safely home.

Li An was indeed sitting in the car. He opened his phone and looked at Liu Shishi’s WeChat name. He immediately understood many of the things he did not understand previously. He had actually blindly confessed to Liu Shishi. Fortunately, she did not mention this previously. Otherwise, he would definitely have been exposed.

“Lovey-dovey will affect studies…” Li An chuckled and muttered to himself, “I feel that it was quite effective just now. I’ll be ruthless to her again.”

Li An thought for a moment and changed his WeChat name to “Why Bother”.

Just looking at these words might be very difficult to understand, but Liu Shishi must know what this meant because this was the next sentence of “lovey-dovey will affect studies”.

“If we can’t walk side by side, why bother continuing the journey?”

Liu Shishi quickly went upstairs, took out her key from her bag, and opened the door.

Her parents were back and they were sitting on the sofa watching the news.

“You’re back?” Liu Ze smiled and asked, “How is it? Did you have fun today?”

Liu Shishi was inexplicably flustered as if she had been caught red-handed. However, she replied naturally, “I’m quite happy!”

Liu Shishi did not say that she ate with a male classmate and that she had interacted intimately with a boy. Therefore, Father and Mother Liu were very at ease and only treated it as a gathering with female classmates.

“Then I’ll go back to my room first,” Liu Shishi said with a smile. Then, she opened her door and walked in.

As soon as she entered the house, she immediately took out her phone and opened WeChat to send a message to Li An.

Affect Studies: I’m home.

After Liu Shishi sent it, she glanced at the other party’s WeChat name and was stunned.

“Why Bother?”

Since they could not be together, was it better to be friends?

Liu Shishi suddenly felt a sour feeling in her heart. She did not understand what was wrong with her and was actually a little flustered.

Why Bother: Alright.

Liu Shishi wanted to send a message to say something, but she did not know what to say. Moreover, when she recalled that the other party was driving, she gave up. At this moment, she felt that her throat was a little dry. She reached out to open her WeChat name and wanted to change it, but her eyes were filled with confusion.

Didn’t she not want to fall in love in university?

Then why did she have to change her WeChat name?

It was not easy to convince the other party. If she gave the wrong information at this moment, wouldn’t it be troublesome?

Liu Shishi did not know what was wrong with her, but she quietly looked at her phone in a daze.

After a long time, the message jumped out.

Why Bother: I’m home.

Affect Studies: Alright.

Liu Shishi licked her lips and typed nervously.

Affect Studies: Can we still be friends in the future?

Why Bother: Of course.

Liu Shishi received an affirmative answer, but she was not happy. Instead, she felt disappointed and guilty.

Affect Studies: Okay.

After sending the message, Liu Shishi put down her phone in frustration. She packed her things and prepared to take a shower to think about what had gone wrong.
