He noticed my emotions?
Yun Li paused for two seconds without admitting it. "No, not at all!"
Holding a gift box, she chatted with him in a casual tone. "Aren't you going to buy one for your girlfriend?"
Jiang Shiyu chuckled at her words. "Classmate Yun Li, where would I get a girlfriend? Or are you going to introduce me to someone?"
His teasing tone carried a playful mockery, and Yun Li's calm eyes revealed a hint of fluster. She explained, "No, I just heard about you."
She stumbled over her words, unable to form a complete sentence. The fact that he wasn't dating anyone and she had mentioned it meant she was paying attention to his every move, didn't it?
Yun Li's cheeks flushed slightly with urgency, and she lowered her head, falling silent.
Jiang Shiyu glanced at her, a smirk playing on his lips. "Heard about you? I thought diligent and serious Classmate Yun Li wouldn't be into gossip."
Yun Li's clear eyes darted around; she couldn't let him get the upper hand. "Even if I don't want to hear your gossip, I still catch wind of it," she said with a light smile, as if teasing him.
Seeing her flustered demeanor fade away, he felt emboldened to joke with her. This girl had just been acting aloof, wanting nothing more than to keep a distance from him. Now, her eyes sparkled playfully, revealing a hint of mischievous pride.
Her mood shifted quickly.
Jiang Shiyu smiled as he looked up at the sky. It seemed that this playful banter had broken some barriers between them, and Yun Li felt a bit more at ease.
She spoke more boldly now. "What I meant was, you should buy more while you're here. That way, when the time comes, you won't be scrambling to think of what to give your girlfriend."
Yun Li put on an act, smiling lightly and speaking casually, but inside she felt twisted in knots. Who would want the person they liked to give gifts to someone else? She was just trying to cover up her feelings.
In truth, she regretted saying it; she didn't want to share the same gift with other girls.
Jiang Shiyu appeared relaxed, his voice lazy and lacking energy.
Yun Li turned to look at him. "No energy?"
Jiang Shiyu also looked back at her, their eyes meeting. He teased, "It's not that kind of energy; it's laziness."
Yun Li immediately realized what he meant, shooting him a glare before turning her head away, her voice barely above a whisper, "Oh."
He misunderstood her. She wanted to explain, but such things only seemed to get more tangled the more she spoke. Glancing at the gift box, she suddenly thought that if that were the case, did he only give it to her?
Yun Li was curious and pondered how to phrase her question so that she could conceal her true intentions while still achieving what she wanted.
Jiang Shiyu kept his gaze fixed on her. The girl had some stray hairs at the nape of her neck, revealing a delicate collarbone adorned with a necklace.
Yun Li turned and accidentally locked eyes with him. Startled, she quickly lowered her gaze. Jiang Shiyu only realized what had happened and slowly withdrew his gaze, completely unfazed by Yun Li's nervousness and fluster.
Yun Li opened the gift box to find the polar bear she had just chosen. "Your previous girlfriends seem to have similar tastes to mine; they all like this unique design." She smiled lightly, trying to sound casual as if they were having a normal conversation. "Don't you find it strange to bring different people each time?"
Jiang Shiyu replied lazily, his voice deep and magnetic, "I don't know. They choose whatever they like."
Yun Li blinked, a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth as she admired the crystal glass polar bear more and more.
She packed up the items and stood up, saying to him, "Let's go find them!" The girl smiled brightly, her eyes seemingly enchanting Jiang Shiyu. He gently curled his lips in response, "Mm."
When they found Qin Nianchu, she was scolding Qin Nianzhe for taking ugly photos.
Qin Nianzhe frowned in annoyance but stood there and let her lecture him. The others watched and couldn't help but chuckle, thinking it was just a couple out having fun, with the guy getting scolded for not taking good pictures.
