"What are you thinking about, Xu Lie?" Lu Youyou asked, her energy radiating like a sparrow that had just escaped from its cage, frolicking under the vast blue sky.
Xu Lie, who had been forcibly pulled along by Lu Youyou, looked at the milk tea shop ahead with its long line of more than ten people and replied honestly, "I'm wondering why there’s a line when the population is sparse."
"Huh?" Lu Youyou was clearly unable to keep up with Xu Lie's train of thought. To her, it seemed like common sense; wasn't it normal to wait in line?
What was there to think about?
With her finger resting on her chin, she tilted her head playfully. "Is that strange?"
Her delicate little gesture left Xu Lie somewhat amazed. Having been through life, he wasn't so easily stunned. "If there are many people and demand exceeds supply, waiting in line makes sense. But when the population is low, it should be different." He pondered for a moment before arriving at an answer. "I get it now. With fewer people, the relative demand increases."
Moreover, with fewer consumers, the number of milk tea shops wouldn’t be too high, reaching a sort of balance.
【Screenshot! Lu Youyou's actions are so cute!】
【Isn't anyone paying attention to the guy's thought process? Even something as trivial as waiting in line at a milk tea shop reveals details about the world.】
【Not interested; I only care about Lu Youyou.】
"Oh, I see." Lu Youyou didn’t fully understand but that didn’t dampen her cheerful mood.
To her, whether sharing mundane daily life or current thoughts, as long as Xu Lie was talking to her, it felt genuine.
In return for his sharing, Lu Youyou decided to share something amusing of her own: "Did you know? Before I left home today, my sister said that my outfit would look great with a high ponytail. Too bad I have short hair; I can’t pull off that hairstyle."
"Do you think I should grow my hair long?"
As they chatted casually, Lu Youyou absentmindedly played with her hair. The strands swayed gently, releasing a faint scent reminiscent of oranges.
Xu Lie's gaze turned oddly intense as he stared at Lu Youyou, making her feel a bit uneasy.
Why was he looking at her like that? Was mentioning her sister a mistake? Did it remind him of something unpleasant?
Before Lu Youyou could apologize, Xu Lie asked with an unusual tone, "Are you hinting at something?"
Hinting? Now completely confused, Lu Youyou felt relieved to see that Xu Lie seemed to be in good spirits. "I’m not hinting at anything."
Xu Lie remained noncommittal. "I heard a story once about a couple in college who went out to watch a movie at night. The guy intended to spend the night out but realized he forgot his ID and couldn’t check into a hotel. He had to tell his girlfriend the truth while planning to drop her off at her dorm when she suddenly asked him whether he thought long hair or short hair looked better."
Looking at his girlfriend, whose long hair cascaded down to her waist, the boy found himself in a difficult position. He had never seen her with short hair, making it hard for him to compare and evaluate. His girlfriend, however, confidently pulled out her ID card and urged him to take a look.
Lu Youyou had been listening intently, but by the end, she was left confused. She blinked a few times, her ears burning as if they were on fire, and she quickly denied, "I-I absolutely didn't mean it that way! I was just... just simply asking if long hair suits me. That's not what I meant!"
Her brain nearly short-circuited; no matter how she tried to explain, nothing seemed right. She struggled to articulate her thoughts clearly.
