Upon hearing this, Shen Xingchen asked in confusion, "What did you see?"
She thought her and Shen Li's relationship was well-hidden and nothing had been discovered.
Seeing her so carefree and oblivious, Shen Li smiled and said, "I see that you're a bit silly."
She hadn't noticed anything, so Shen Li didn't spell things out, saving her from additional mental stress.
The less you know, the happier you live.
At Shen Li's age, he had come to deeply understand this.
Listening to Shen Li, Shen Xingchen said, "I was taught by you, uncle, how could I possibly be silly?"
Shen Xingchen naturally didn't agree with the notion of her being silly.
With Shen Xingchen staring directly at him, Shen Li raised his hand and ruffled her hair.
Lately, with the close interactions between them, Shen Li was slowly compromising.
He understood everything about Shen Xingchen, including her temperament, and he could accept and tolerate everything about her.
