"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 dragged over by Lu Youyou, looked at the milk tea shop in front of them with a line of more than ten people and replied honestly, "I'm wondering why there’s a queue when the population is sparse."
"Huh?" Lu Youyou clearly couldn't keep up with Xu Lie's train of thought. To her, this was common sense—wasn't queuing just a normal thing?
What was there to think about?
With her finger resting on her chin, she tilted her head playfully. "Is that strange?"
Her naturally delicate movements left Xu Lie somewhat astonished. As someone who had been through a lot, he wasn’t so easily captivated: "If there are many people, it makes sense to queue due to high demand. But when there are few people, it should be different." Xu Lie pondered for a moment and arrived at his own conclusion: "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 many, achieving a new balance.
"Screenshot this! Youyou's movements are so cute!"
"Doesn't anyone care about the Male Second Lead's thought process? Even something as trivial as queuing at a milk tea shop reveals different details from different perspectives."
"I don't care; I only focus on Lu Youyou."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Although Lu Youyou didn’t fully understand what he meant, it didn’t dampen her cheerful mood.
To her, whether it was enjoying the mundane or sharing current thoughts, as long as Xu Lie was talking to her, it felt genuine.
Not wanting to be outdone in sharing, Lu Youyou chimed in with her own story: "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, revealing a hint of an orange fragrance.
Xu Lie’s gaze turned oddly intense as he stared at Lu Youyou, making her feel a bit anxious.
Why was he looking at her like that? Did mentioning her sister bring up bad memories for him?
Before Lu Youyou could apologize, Xu Lie asked curiously, "Are you hinting at something?"
Hinting? Now Lu Youyou was completely confused. At least Xu Lie seemed to be in a good mood, which relieved her: "I’m not hinting at anything."
Xu Lie remained noncommittal: "I once heard a story about a couple in college who went to watch a movie at night. The guy wanted to stay out but realized he forgot his ID and couldn’t check into a hotel. He had to tell his girlfriend the truth. Just as he was about to take her back to her dormitory, she suddenly asked him whether he thought long hair looked better or short hair."
Looking at his girlfriend with long hair that cascaded down to her waist, the boy hesitated, admitting he had never seen her with short hair and found it hard to compare and evaluate. His girlfriend naturally pulled out her ID card, urging him to take a quick look.
Lu Youyou had been listening with great interest, but only at the end did she realize what he meant. She blinked, her ears turning as red as if they were on fire, and she shyly denied, "I-I absolutely didn't mean that! I was just... just simply asking if long hair suits me, not—it's not like that!"
Lu Youyou's brain nearly short-circuited; no matter how she tried to explain, it felt wrong, and her words stumbled out awkwardly.
