Nalan Chunbo was taken aback by Wen Shan’s response. He could only stare at the girl standing in front of him, with her large and sparkling eyes and her smile so bright and innocent that dazzled him.

“You don’t have to.” Nalan Chunbo rejected her offer. “I was just conveniently there to help, it’s nothing for you to be grateful for.”

Nalan Chunbo spoke with a cold and rigid tone. He didn’t think their friendship would progress to a further phase that warranted his warm treatment towards her.

Wen Shan felt her heart shatter a little at his remark, but just a little.

She was pursuing him, she had to bear with this and persevere.

“I must. You’ve been very helpful the other day and I must return the favor. That’s what my parents have taught me since I was young,” Wen Shan said with a straight face. She blocked his path when he intended to leave. “You may not be aware, but this is my hometown! Since you’re here, why don’t I bring you to a nice restaurant to have some authentic food?”

Nalan Chunbo was dumbstruck. He had picked the wrong destination.

He remained silent all the time while Wen Shan was talking. She pouted and whined, “I just want to treat you something nice, is it too much to ask for?”

Nalan Chunbo frowned at her pouting face but he couldn’t blurt out a rejection.

Although she kept her head down, her eyes peeked upwards stealthily. Just as Nalan Chunbo was about to speak, she instantly grabbed his arm and declared, “Deal! Let’s go!”

Her strength and courage surprised him as he was dragged along by her.

Where did she hide all her strength in this petite frame?

As Wen Shan pulled Nalan Chunbo with her, she heaved a sigh of relief. She didn’t give him a chance to talk—otherwise, he would have said no.

Bringing Nalan Chunbo along with her, Wen Shan strolled through the nooks and crannies of the alley in the town and they finally arrived at a small shop.

“You must come to shops like this in order to taste the authentic and good food here.” Wen Shan introduced the place with a proud voice as she sat down and ordered a few signature dishes.

Nalan Chunbo took a seat himself. It was almost lunchtime anyway, and since he couldn’t get rid of her, they might as well eat together.

While Wen Shan was ordering, Nalan Chunbo took his phone out and sent a message under the table.

[Brother: Looks like I have to block you from viewing my Moments too.]

Yezi: Hey, I didn’t tell her. After all, you never told me where you are, remember?

Yezi: Anyway, it seems like she’s found you.

Brother: Yes, so what? It doesn’t mean anything.

Yezi: That’s hard to say. You didn’t push her away, but have come to complain about me. It seems like she doesn’t get on your bad side.

Brother: It doesn’t mean I like her either.

Yezi: …]

At this moment, Ye Yuwei was eating while holding her phone. When she saw Nalan Chunbo’s message, she suddenly felt that this matter was a little difficult to handle.

Nalan Chunbo was not Gu Juexi. When Gu Juexi disliked someone, it meant hatred and he wouldn’t be kind to the person.

Of course, Gu Juexi was a weirdo.

But Nalan Chunbo was a normal person. His dislike didn’t indicate that he hated them. Moreover, he was always thoughtful towards others.

[Yezi: Brother, if you really do not like her, it’s better for you to come clean and be truthful. Don’t wait until she puts in all her effort into pursuing you. It isn’t fair for her.

Brother: I know.]

Nalan Chunbo placed his phone on the table and looked sternly at Wen Shan, who looked back at him excitedly.

“Why do you like me?” Nalan Chunbo decided to talk to her. “I may not be as good as you think.”
