Chapter 81: Innocent Boy

Lin Zhi raised her eyebrows, looked at Du Hongyuan who was walking towards her, and said, "Were you trying to run away just now?"

"No...no!" Du Hongyuan held the fried skewers bucket tightly with both hands and stammered, "I just...suddenly don't want to eat hamburgers anymore, so I'm going to...go see if there's anything else delicious."

"Oh? Really?" Lin Zhi looked at Du Hongyuan with a half-smile, then glanced at Shen Xia beside him and said, "I thought you ran away because you were shy after seeing our little Xia Xia."

"Shh-!"

Du Hongyuan's true thoughts were exposed by Lin Zhi on the spot. His old face instantly turned red as a monkey's butt. He quickly waved his hands and stammered, "No, no, no, I... I'm not... I uh..."

Shen Xia was a little surprised by Du Hongyuan's big reaction. She thought, "This is weird. Is it shameful to like me? Why do you have such a big reaction?"

"Don't get excited." Shen Xia waved her hand and said to Du Hongyuan, "She was just teasing you."

"Uh...oh..."

Du Hongyuan lowered his head and stopped talking. The man who used to talk nonsense all the time, now became a retard in front of the person he liked.

If Gong Yoo was here, he would definitely secretly record the video and use it as evidence to laugh at him later.

Lin Zhi grabbed the unopened hamburger on Shen Xia's plate and said, "Originally, Xiao Xia wanted to trade the hamburger with you for some fried skewers..."

Lin Zhi paused for a moment, then showed a look of regret and continued, "But you said you didn't want to eat a hamburger. It seems a bit regrettable."

"uh-huh?"

Shen Xia glared at Lin Zhi, then leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Didn't you mention wanting to eat fried skewers? Why are you blaming me now?"

Lin Zhi blinked at Shen Xia and whispered back, "Don't worry about it for now."

Just as Lin Zhi expected, after hearing her words, Du Hongyuan immediately said excitedly: "Eat, eat! I suddenly want to eat again. I'll just take this bucket of fried skewers and exchange it for that burger."

Shen Xia looked at Du Hongyuan who was suddenly excited and said, "Your thoughts... change very quickly."

"Uh, hey hey..."

Du Hongyuan scratched his head and smiled foolishly - this silly smile was exactly the same as Chen Zhirui's.

"Come on, come on, sit down."

Lin Zhi patted the seat next to Shen Xia and said, "Sit there."

Du Hongyuan glanced at Shen Xia, then looked at the empty seat next to Lin Zhi, and decisively sat down next to Lin Zhi - after all, he still didn't have the courage to sit side by side with Shen Xia.

Lin Zhi looked at Du Hongyuan who was sitting next to her, with a sly smile on her face. She was thinking, "I never thought that Du Hongyuan, who is usually so thick-skinned, could be so shy in front of the person he likes. It seems that this guy really likes Xiaoxia."

Shen Xia seemed to realize that something was wrong with Du Hongyuan. She recalled how he had strongly denied Lin Zhi's love for her and even wanted to distance himself from her. In addition, he took the initiative to sit next to Lin Zhi...

Shen Xia came up with a surprising answer in her mind: "Du Hongyuan likes Zhizhi! No wonder he suddenly became shy today."

Thinking of this, Shen Xia couldn't help but start to examine Du Hongyuan on behalf of her good sister.

Du Hongyuan has an above-average appearance. He is not particularly handsome, but not ugly either. His hairstyle does not look very nice. He would look much better if he changed it. His clothing style is also average. He wears either black or gray, a typical straight guy outfit. Judging from the way he is dressed, he must be the kind of guy with zero experience in love.

If he were to date Lin Zhi, she would give him a good makeover and his appearance would probably still be acceptable.

In terms of character and personality... Shen Xia is not sure about it because she doesn't have much contact with Du Hongyuan.

But judging from his usual behavior in the classroom, Du Hongyuan should be the type of guy who is more of a funny guy. He is very good at making girls happy, and he talks nonsense. He is not very reliable. This kind of guy may be a playboy. This needs to be studied...

After Shen Xia reviewed Du Hongyuan, she did not think highly of him and gave him a passing grade.

Shen Xia looked at Lin Zhi and thought, "Given Zhizhi's personality, she probably wouldn't like this kind of boy."

Shen Xia had already begun to imagine how Lin Zhi rejected Du Hongyuan, but she didn't know that Du Hongyuan's heart... was all about her.

Du Hongyuan felt uncomfortable all over when Shen Xia stared at him with a strange gaze, and there was an indescribable awkward atmosphere at the scene.

So, he placed the fried skewers bucket in front of Shen Xia and said, "I ordered medium spicy, which may be quite spicy. I wonder if it will suit your taste."

"uh-huh?"

Shen Xia saw Du Hongyuan put the fried skewers in front of her and thought, "Shouldn't he let Zhizhi taste it first? Why did he let me eat it first? Could it be that he knew Zhizhi was hard to deal with, so he wanted to bribe me first?"

Lin Zhi answered from the side: "It's okay, our Xiaoxia likes spicy food, she is not afraid of spicy food."

As Lin Zhi spoke, he took out a piece of fried pork tenderloin and stuffed it into Shen Xia's hand, saying, "Come on, Xiao Xia, try it and see if it tastes good."

Shen Xia took a bite of the tenderloin, but she was thinking: "This silly Zhizhi, isn't she helping Du Hongyuan to bribe me? She was sold out and still counting money for him, how stupid."

The person who was truly betrayed and unaware of it—Shen Xia.

There was a large piece of fried pork tenderloin, brushed with chili oil and garnished with toasted, crispy sesame seeds. It tasted very good - Shen Xia loved it very much.

Lin Zhi always had a smile on her face, and she squinted her eyes and asked, "Xiao Xia Xia, is it delicious?"

Shen Xia nodded: "Well, not bad, you try it too."

"No hurry, you eat first."

Lin Zhi only said half of the sentence, and he said the rest in his heart: "After eating this skewer, you will fall in love immediately, hehe."

Lin Zhi gave Du Hongyuan a hamburger and said, "Thank you for the fried skewers. I'll treat you to a hamburger. You can also eat the French fries and fried chicken nuggets on the table. Don't waste them."

After Lin Zhi finished speaking, she pointed at the unfinished snacks on Shen Xia's plate and blinked meaningfully, as if to say to Du Hongyuan: "These are all leftovers from the person you like, you can't dislike them!"

Shen Xia immediately explained: "These are still hot, not leftovers. We ordered too much, so we didn't finish them."

"Okay...thank you..."

Du Hongyuan nodded and started to wolf down the hamburger.

He was already very hungry, and after buying the fried skewers, he didn't have time to eat them. He was already hungry, and this embarrassing situation made him feel a little overwhelmed, so he lowered his head and ate quickly to ease the embarrassment.

"Cough cough..."

Because he ate too quickly, Du Hongyuan choked after just a few bites.

"Don't get excited, young man."

Lin Zhi said this and brought him a cup of Coke on the table.

"Thank you."

After drinking a sip of Coke, Du Hongyuan finally recovered.

Just after he said thank you, Lin Zhi whispered in his ear: "You're welcome. The cup in your hand was drunk by Xiaoxia."

"?!"

"puff……"

When Du Hongyuan heard Lin Zhi's words, he was shocked and spat out the Coke.

"Hahahaha!"

Looking at Du Hongyuan's funny look, Lin Zhi narrowed her eyes and burst into laughter.

"She was just teasing you, but you actually believed her?" Shen Xia said, picking up the cup of Coke that she had actually drunk, and took a sip. The fried skewers were indeed a bit spicy.

Looking at Du Hongyuan, whose face was flushed by Lin Zhi's teasing, like a shy little boy, Shen Xia thought: "My judgment just now was wrong. This boy's Taoism is lower than Zhizhi's. He should not have the ability to flirt with other girls. Maybe he just talks a lot of dirty talk."

Du Hongyuan thought to himself: "Damn it, I have lost face in front of the person I like, someone please save me!"
