The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

"So, were you also lying about being with me after we become adults?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Shi immediately fell into a daze, as if time had frozen at this moment.

She was like a machine that had suddenly lost control. Her movements became extremely stiff, and even a simple action like raising her head seemed so unnatural, with a distinct mechanical feel.

Anyone can easily see through the complex emotions in her heart at this moment!

The most important emotion was undoubtedly shock, perhaps mixed with a hint of contempt for Han Yao's shameless behavior.

Help, please testify, when did she say this?

And weren't they discussing who cooked the meal? How did they suddenly bring it to this point?

But Han Yao didn't even look at her. He just ate the food and shed tears silently while immersed in the emotions he had created for himself.

Lu Shi felt helpless about this.

"Don't slander me..."

"Dang!" A crisp sound echoed in the room, and the sound of chopsticks hitting the edge of the bowl stopped abruptly.

Time seemed to freeze and the whole world became quiet.

Han Yao slowly turned his head. His light-colored eyes, which had just been washed by tears, were sparkling with crystal tears. In those sparkling eyes, only Lu Shi's figure was reflected, as if there were only the two of them in the whole world.

After a long while, Lu Shi heard a low, dull and hoarse voice: "So you really lied to me!"

It was over. Lu Shi seemed to hear rumbling thunder in his ears, and his body seemed to be struck by lightning.

She thought she had been judged.

With a "pop", she was labeled a liar, and the person who labeled her was justified and believed in his own judgment.

"I didn't lie to you. I felt I had to make it clear to you."

Lu Shi felt he had to explain: "I said before that I wouldn't fall in love too early. I would only consider dating after I became an adult."

"So how can I agree to be with you when I'm not even sure if I'll ever be in a relationship?"

"Don't count it? Aren't those words of yours a hint?!"

Han Yao spoke with such confidence that Lu Shi himself felt a little insecure.

"You rock!"

Lu Shi finally had no choice but to give people a thumbs up.

I guess he just listens to what he likes...

"See, you're in the wrong." Han Yao's tone was full of condemnation, as if he had convinced himself, or was mysteriously confident in himself.

"..."

Come on! She seemed too tired to speak.

"You are right..."

She left first. Since they had almost finished their meal, she took the food down to report back.

Unexpectedly, the person who was rather negative and listless just now saw her about to leave and suddenly grabbed the corner of her clothes, and Lu Shi's steps of leaving suddenly stopped.

"So you don't deny what Yin Nanxing said about you dating someone else?"

The boy's eyes were stubborn and persistent, and he seemed not to give up until he got an answer.

"Ugh."

The girl's sigh was like a clear spring in the hot summer, bringing a touch of cool comfort and calming Han Yao's restlessness and anxiety.

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes as clear as lake water, staring at him quietly.

"What do you think? Tell me."

Han Yao's voice had softened a little, but he was still stubborn, and the strength with which he pulled the corner of Lu Shi's clothes did not decrease at all.

"I... don't want to fall in love." Lu Shi hesitated to speak, his eyes revealing complicated emotions, and finally he felt that he had to confront him.

"Then we can just get married."

Han Yao smiled, as if he didn't understand Lu Shi's implication. Or maybe he did understand, but just subconsciously didn't believe it.

Lu Shi pursed his lips slightly, put down the dishes he had picked up, and his fingers unconsciously fiddled with the ends of his hair.

Since he wanted to pretend, Lu Shi agreed to his wish, and she continued as he said.

"So what gives you the right to marry me? Your status as the eldest son of the Han family? Or your 101st academic ranking in the school? Or your invincibility in fighting?"

A trace of shame flashed across Han Yao's face, but he still held on to the corner of Lu Shi's clothes tightly, refusing to let go.

"What do you think I'm missing?"

Lu Shi sighed, looked into Han Yao's eyes, and said gently, "I think what you lack most right now is courage. It's the courage to face failure and setbacks, not the courage to ask me for answers now."

Han Yao's eyes gradually widened, and he pinched the palm of his right hand hard, as if trying to control his emotions.

"But it's so difficult..." His voice was low and hoarse, and a hint of obscurity flashed across his eyes.

"I think it would be easier to get into Jinghua University than to be my boyfriend."

"you!"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry. You look so ugly when you're crying and angry at the same time."

"Me, you!"

Han Yao gasped heavily, and his suppressed emotions finally burst out. He pointed his finger at Lu Shi's face in disbelief.

"Will you die if you say something nice?"

"Look at what you said after you came in."

"It's fine if you lied to me, but did you say anything comforting from beginning to end?"

"You just came in here to stab me in the heart!"

Seeing someone regain his former vitality, Lu Shi didn't care about his accusations: "I think the effect is quite good. Look, you still have the energy to scold me now."

"Did you see that math paper with a score of over 60? I'll give you a few minutes to sort out and summarize your points and reasons. I'll come up and ask you questions later."

"You didn't do so well on the test, so I don't know where you got the courage and confidence to apply to Jinghua University."

Lu Shi muttered a lot of unpleasant things, and then quickly left the room before Han Yao got angry with her.

To think that she, who is so bad at comforting others, actually has to spend so much time and effort to enlighten someone's sensitive heart in a roundabout way, this job is even more tiring than her system task.

But at least it worked. Otherwise, if she were really asked to be sentimental, she might have first conjured up a magic fairy castle.

Lu Shi went downstairs and made a "done" gesture to the people downstairs who were staring at her eagerly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Yao, who was alone in the room, was not as angry as one might imagine. Instead, he showed a bright smile. Looking at the test paper with a score of over 60, he felt a sweet feeling in his heart.

It was a fact that he was distracted in the exam room because of nervousness and impatience, it was also a fact that he did not do well in the exam, and it was even more a fact that he locked himself in the room and became depressed. However, after Lu Shi came to comfort him, everything that happened afterwards was just an act.

His sadness had long since disappeared when she came to comfort him, and sweetness spread in his heart, so everything that happened afterwards was just something he went with the flow.

After all, he has been a school bully for so many years and has participated in so many fights. How could his psychological endurance be so poor?

But he discovered today that his acting skills were really good and he was even more talented than his studies.
