Chapter 319 - 319 Trust
319 Trust
Shen Xi turned to look at Zhao Yuan, who was clearly far behind, in confusion. Guan Lei quickly blocked her sight and said, “Don’t worry. Zhao Yuan has my three roommates accompanying her. She won’t feel bored.”
Shen Xi naturally knew what Guan Lei was thinking. But since she had already agreed to try and like him, she should spend some time with him.
Even though Guan Lei was just walking quietly with Shen Xi, his heart was filled with joy. Of course, if he could hold Shen Xi’s hand, he would be even happier.
Guan Lei coughed lightly and asked, “Can I hold your hand?”
The book said to respect a girl’s wishes, so Guan Lei felt that there should be no problem with his question.
Shen Xi didn’t expect Guan Lei to ask this, but how was she supposed to answer such a question? Shen Xi felt a little embarra.s.sed to agree to Guan Lei’s request, but if she didn’t, would Guan Lei be disappointed?
Shen Xi was extremely conflicted. She raised her head and looked ahead. The canteen was right in front of them.
Shen Xi pulled up Guan Lei’s sleeve and said, “We’ve reached the canteen. Let’s hurry up, we still have cla.s.s later.”
Guan Lei was a little disappointed. Shen Xi did not agree to hold her hand, but when he saw Shen Xi take the initiative to pull on his sleeve, Guan Lei felt that it was alright. At least she held, even though it was only his sleeve.
“Xi, here’s your favorite apricot cheese. It’s not available in the cafeteria. Chef w.a.n.g specially brought it to the small window. There are also shrimp soup dumplings, golden fried dough sticks…” Guan Lei carried a tray and placed the breakfast in front of Shen Xi one by one.
Shen Xi frowned at Guan Lei, “Isn’t this too much? It must have cost a lot, right?”
Guan Lei’s hand that was holding the tray paused. “It’s not a lot of money. Hey, trust me! I won’t do something like pretending to be rich.”
Shen Xi nodded. Zhao Yuan, Sun Yi, and the others who had followed behind him also arrived. They all stared at the rich breakfast with wide eyes.
Sun Yi said enviously, “Oh my G.o.d! It’s so blissful to be in a relationship with Brother Lei. Brother Lei, can I join you? Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of sister-in-law as the younger one.”
w.a.n.g San slapped Sun Yi on the head. “You? No one would want it even if you offered money!”
“That’s right. You want to break up my imaginary couple. Sun Yi, how dare you! Be careful. I’ll get someone to kill you!” Zhao Jun’s hand swept across her neck as she warned Sun Yi.
Sun Yi quickly rolled up his sleeves and pointed at the small rubber band on his hand. “No, I’m just joking. Do you see the little rubber band on my hand? My dear girlfriend gave it to me. Do you know what this means? I’m already taken.”
Guan Lei’s gaze was attracted by Sun Yi’s little rubber band, and he gently placed a shrimp dumpling on Shen Xi’s plate. He then looked at the rubber band that Shen Xi tied her hair up with and he fell into deep thought.
Shen Xi covered the rubber band on her head and said, “Don’t even think about it. I only have one rubber band today. If you take it, I won’t have it anymore.”
Guan Lei leaned into Shen Xi’s ear and said pitifully, “If you don’t put your mark on me, aren’t you afraid that I’ll be seduced by someone else?”
The scene of Li Jin being rejected by Guan Lei suddenly flashed across Shen Xi’s mind. She turned to Guan Lei and said seriously, “I trust you.”
Guan Lei was satisfied by Shen Xi’s “trust”. He was overjoyed as he picked up another soup dumpling for Shen Xi and urged, “Hurry up and eat. Otherwise, they’ll finish it all.”
Shen Xi happily picked up a shrimp dumpling for Guan Lei. “Don’t just focus on me. You should eat it too.”
Guan Lei looked at the shrimp dumpling in his bowl and put it in his mouth, savoring it.
It was Xi who had put it in his bowl. Xi had been willing to get close to him and put it in his bowl even though she knew he liked her.
According to the book, if a girl was willing to let you get close to her when she knew that you liked her and you were pursuing her, it meant that the girl had a good impression of you. At least, she didn’t hate your contact.
After Guan Lei finished his shrimp dumpling, he turned to Shen Xi and said, “Xi, I want to eat more soup dumplings.”
When Shen Xi heard that, she naturally picked up a soup dumpling and placed it on Guan Lei’s plate. She even carefully instructed, “Be careful. The soup is still a little hot.”
Guan Lei’s eyes lit up as he looked at the soup dumplings on the plate. He couldn’t even describe the happiness he felt.
