Before Shen Xi could process what was going on, Guan Lei beat her to the punch. "I'll have to trouble you, Xixi," he said, looking guilty.
Shen Xi opened and closed her mouth, nodding robotically. It had been an unconscious act, encouraged by Guan Lei's pitiful appearance. After all, Guan Lei had gotten injured while trying to save her. One should repay kindness not with hostility but with gratitude.
Guan Lei smiled tiredly, his meek countenance a cover for the fleeting light that twinkled in his eyes.
After a whole morning of classes, Shen Xi was famished. As soon as the bell rang, Shen Xi dragged Zhao Yuan by her arm, making a beeline for the cafeteria. However, before she could take more than two steps, a sorrowful voice arrested her attention.
"Xixi~"
Shen Xi turned around and saw the aggrieved look in Guan Lei's eyes. Only then did she remember that she still had to take care of Guan Lei.
