Li Si nodded thoughtfully, then said after a while, "Also, I… I kind of want to go to Beijing partly to avoid those people from my grandma's house. There's something I haven't told you. A while ago, Zhang Meihua came to school to find me, carrying a bag of dates, telling me to take good care of myself! Isn't that crazy? How could she shamelessly come see me? I've already said I've cut ties with them, but who knows when they'll act up again and come looking for me!"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" His eyes flickered with a hint of shadow as he angrily rubbed the top of her head. This girl is always like this, keeping things bottled up inside her until the moment she feels like sharing.
She stuck out her tongue, "I didn't say anything because I didn't want you to worry! Alright, don't be mad at me! Okay? If worse comes to worse, I'll kiss you, will that do?" Seeing he was still unmoved and looking annoyed, she doubled down on her efforts.
