Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

The two hugged each other without saying anything else.

Shanlai was thinking about the meaning of what Lei had just said, and his eyes were dazed for a moment.

After a while, Lei seemed to be less obsessed with what had just happened. He gently took Shanlaide's hand and asked her if it hurt.

Shan Lai shook his head. It was just a few small scratches, nothing to be alarmed about.

"I promise, I will be the first to tell you if anything happens in the future, so don't worry." Shan Lai said seriously.

"My parents will be back from Country M soon. We can go to the airport to pick them up together. Although my father is strict, he is very kind to me and he shouldn't have any objections."

"If possible, let's get engaged after the coming-of-age ceremony." Shan Lai smiled very sincerely. It would be better to get engaged early just in case. She really liked this boy who served as the light in her life.

He was shocked and could not believe that these words came from her mouth, but he was very happy. If they could get engaged earlier, that would naturally be the best arrangement. He didn't know how many people were thinking about her little cat.

He doesn't care about other people, but Kassell is the one who gives him the most headache. Although he is from the H gang, he has the halo of childhood sweetheart. His sister Nadel is also a good friend of his, so there is no guarantee that he won't have some thoughts about her kitten.

Since she was the one who proposed the engagement, he was of course happy to accept it.

"I'm hungry. Let's go eat first." Shan Lai smiled. She was really hungry now.

Lei nodded, and suddenly remembered that the plate of snacks he had just made today was almost eaten by them. He felt helpless all of a sudden and decided to make them for her next time.

The fact that they were able to eat it proved that the proportion he made today was correct. It should be much better next time if he follows this proportion.

The last time she made pastries with him at home, he had recorded it, so there should be no problem doing what she said.

Lei looked at her hand worriedly, and confirmed again and again that nothing was wrong. Then the two of them walked towards the restaurant, talking and laughing.

Xiaoyou sat on the sofa feeling a little nervous. Although she had eaten with several seniors from F4 before, that was outside the school. She always felt a little uncomfortable eating with them at school. It was especially easy to get scolded, especially for girls.

She wanted to find an excuse to leave first, but everyone of them seemed to be eating very seriously and no one was talking. It would be inappropriate if she suddenly spoke.

"Why aren't you eating?" Ximen looked up and saw Xiaoyou beside him with a conflicted look on her face. He thought that the food at noon was not to her liking, so she asked this question.

Xiaoyou shook her head. Today's lunch was made with top-quality ingredients and tasted delicious.

"Are you worried about Shanlai?"

Simon seemed to understand her thoughts very well. After he finished speaking, he looked at her intentionally or unintentionally, then slowly and leisurely ate a mouthful of pasta to observe his reaction.

Ximen hit the nail on the head about what Xiaoyou was thinking. Xiaoyou was very surprised. How did senior Ximen know what she was thinking?

"Your emotions are all shown on your face. Is that hard to guess?"

"Don't worry, please eat your lunch seriously. With Lei by Shanlai's side, Lei will not let anything happen to her, don't worry." Ximen comforted Xiaoyou who looked worried.

Knowing that what Simon said was the truth, Xiaoyou finally compromised, but she was still a little nervous.

Mei Zuo listened to their conversation, and seeing Xiao You's worried look, he couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, it's okay to have dinner with us, we are all friends, and Shan Lai helped you teach that guy a lesson today, no one will say anything bad about you, come and eat."

Daomingsi, who was eating, looked up at Xiaoyou and said, "It's okay. I've asked someone to deal with that person. Don't worry." Then he continued to eat.

Xiaoyou was surprised for a moment. Senior Daoming was not as irritable as the outside world rumored. She looked at Daomingsi cautiously, and then Xiaoyou lowered her head to eat the food on her plate.

"What? You didn't even wait for us for lunch?" Lei walked towards them with a chuckle.

Ximen was speechless as he looked at the two people walking towards him from a distance. When they were at the teaching building, didn’t Asi say that he would wait for them at the restaurant?

It's this guy who took Shanlai somewhere and now he's blaming them for not waiting for them for lunch. He's said all the good and bad things about them.

"Stop talking nonsense and come here if you want to have lunch. It's already lunch time and you two are still running around. You deserve to starve to death." Simon seemed very dissatisfied and glared at the two people who had just returned.

Everyone burst out laughing. Just eat lunch, why is he being so sarcastic?

Mei Zuo saw the two of them coming back and handed them the juice in front of him. "It's hot outside and it's easy to get heatstroke. Have a glass of freshly squeezed juice first."

"Shanlai is a girl, so let her drink first. You can just take a sip of Asi or Ximen's." Meizuo said very considerately.

After saying this, he specifically emphasized that he had never drunk this glass of juice.

Lei smiled and nodded, then turned around and drank the glass of juice that Meizuo handed over. "It tastes good."

Ximen’s eyes widened. Is this still the nobleman who always cares about others?

That glass of juice was given by Meizuo to Shanlai, but he drank it before Shanlai could drink it. What he is doing now is not a gentlemanly behavior.

Xiaoyou also looked up at this time and couldn't help but say: "Senior Lei, have you not had freshly squeezed orange juice in this period of time?"

Hearing Xiaoyou say this, Lei didn't understand what was going on, but he still answered her question politely: "No, why do you ask?"

"Then why did you drink the glass of orange juice that belonged to Shanlai?" Xiaoyou was puzzled. It was a hot day now, and both of them were very hot after coming back from outside. A boy as gentle and considerate as Senior Lei would definitely take care of the girl next to him first.

What's more, Shanlai is his girlfriend, shouldn't he take care of her first?

Ximen touched Xiaoyou's elbow to signal her to stop talking, and looking at Lei's unchanged expression made him even more flustered.

Xiaoyou was touched by Ximen and suddenly understood the problem. Her face flushed, "Well, Shanlai, you can drink mine." As she said that, she pushed the orange juice in front of her over.

For a moment, no one spoke.

Shan Lai coughed lightly to break the awkward atmosphere, "It's okay, I'm not thirsty."

This somewhat awkward farce was only ended when they were served steak.
