She couldn’t help but curve her lips upward, glancing at Li Qingshen, who was walking alongside her, when she suddenly stopped in her tracks. Seeing her stop, Li Qingshen halted as well.
Li Qingshen turned his head, eting Ling Momo’s eyes. Ling Momo looked at the now indifferent and aloof Li Qingshen and couldn’t help but burst into laughter, thinking of the adorable and coquettish Li Qingshen at the banquet earlier.
Li Qingshen stood two steps away from her, motionless, simply watching her laugh without moving a muscle.
After laughing for a while, Ling Momo eventually stopped, straightened up, and looked at Li Qingshen with an expression that grew serious by degrees. Then, with extre sincerity, she spoke, "Teacher, thank you."
Her tone was very earnest.
Li Qingshen was taken aback, then suddenly he too began to laugh, and gazing into Ling Momo’s eyes, he said, "It’s okay, we are friends after all."
This ti it was Ling Momo who was startled, then she rembered the words she had said not long ago in the countryside, "Teacher, can we beco friends?"
She hadn’t expected him to take it seriously.
A warmth filled Ling Momo’s heart, and the resistance she had felt towards Li Qingshen dissipated a great deal. She tilted her head very naturally, sizing up Li Qingshen from top to bottom.
Li Qingshen had never been scrutinized by Ling Momo like this before. He was slightly nervous but still tried to maintain a nonchalant deanor. Then, with a light tone that held a mix of sincerity and jest, he asked, "Do you think I was sleazy enough just now?"
Ling Momo looked at Li Qingshen and burst into laughter. After a long while, she responded with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, "Teacher, I never expected you could not only act sleazy but also throw a tantrum!"
Li Qingshen dropped the ambiguous expression on his face and beca extrely serious, "I am serious."
Ling Momo also restrained the smile on her face and nodded with the sa seriousness, "I am serious too."
Then, Li Qingshen stood before Ling Momo, lazily and elegantly, with a smirk on his lips that blood slowly like a flower, causing Ling Momo to stare at him in a daze.
Li Qingshen actually wanted to ask, "Then, do you think I asure up?"
But the words reached his lips and he swallowed them back down.
He had never expected that one day, for her sake, he would earnestly fulfill the declaration he had made in Hainan’s End of the World, "The man I like should be able to handle the hall, the kitchen, and the bedroom, have a strong physique and a broad mind, refrain from smoking, drinking, lechery, and gambling, earn big money, throw tantrums, and play the fool." And when the opportunity arose, he willingly and happily played along with her in a nonsensical drama.
Thinking about it now, Li Qingshen found himself quite sleazy, yet he felt an inexplicable joy in his sleaziness that he couldn’t get enough of.
After watching the girl for a while, Li Qingshen finally spoke, "Let’s go, have dinner together!"
Ling Momo snapped back to reality and said, "I owe you a al, I’ll treat you!"
Li Qingshen nodded, "Okay."
Then he added, "Wait for here, I’ll go get the car."
Ling Momo humd in agreent and watched Li Qingshen leave with his usual graceful deanor.
Soon, Li Qingshen returned with the car. Ling Momo got in, and Li Qingshen asked where she wanted to eat. After thinking for a mont, Ling Momo nad a place, and Li Qingshen set off, driving smoothly toward their destination.
