“If it doesn’t hurt, how are you going to learn your lesson? Don’t wander off with strangers again in the future.” Li Shunan straightened his back and smirked. “I’ll send you out.”
Li Shunan didn’t close the door and instead left it wide open. He walked directly out of the courtyard and said, “Let’s go.” The layout of this area was rather complex, to begin with. Besides, it was now nighttime, so it was probably even harder to grasp the direction.
Jiang Lingzhi followed behind him, with the faint light from the streetlamp as the source of light; she could see his upright back as he walked ahead.
She quickened her pace to catch up with him. Walking next to him and looking at his side profile, she asked, “Can you take me to the bus stop where you got off previously?”
She didn’t know the place well, and she would be able to find her way home only after getting to the bus stop.
“Where do you live?” Li Shunan asked casually without turning around.
Jiang Lingzhi answered truthfully, “Moon Lake.” Li Shunan raised his brows slightly.
‘This swindler actually comes from a wealthy family.’
The area that she lived in was a district full of mansions, which was worlds apart from where he lived.
With one hand in his pocket, he said sluggishly in an emotionless voice, “That place is nearby, and there’s a road that leads to it from here. It’s only a ten-minute-walk away.”
The bus would take a longer route on the main road.
Jiang Lingzhi, who had grown up in this neighborhood, actually did not even know that there was a road that led to her residence. Hence. she said gratefully, “Okay, let’s go that way. Thank you, you are really a good person.” Her tone was extremely sincere, and she seemed to be genuinely thanking him. Li Shunan looked at the girl beside him who was at his shoulder. He tilted his head and assented gently.
‘Good person?’
‘This swindler is bad at judging people.’
“Did I say that I was going to send you?” Li Shunan looked at her with a lazy gaze.
Jiang Lingzhi was in disbelief and she questioned, “Since you’ve said that, aren’t you going to send me there?” Li Shunan was speechless.
‘Okay then.’
The boy was clearly familiar with this place, and after making a turn, they soon walked out of the alley.
After making their way out of the dim alley, the world outside suddenly became brighter.
The advertisement billboards at the roadside were extremely colorful, and the street lamps were emitting a dim, yellow light.
The convenience store at the side was still open.
Jiang Lingzhi glanced at the signboard and found the name to be rather adorable. It was named ‘A Convenience Store’.
When they walked past the door, the aroma wafted out, and her stomach rumbled.
She hadn’t eaten since noon, and she was famished…
The boy who walked past her suddenly stopped in his tracks…
He stopped abruptly, and Jiang Lingzhi’s heart trembled. She subconsciously clutched her stomach and thought, ‘He probably didn’t hear it, right?’
She had thoroughly embarrassed herself today.
Jiang Lingzhi obviously wanted to cover herself up. She said, “Ahem, the moon is quite round today, oh, it’s so pretty.”
She did not even dare to look up to see why he had suddenly stopped. In the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the boy walking past her in a clean, white shirt. He headed straight into the convenience store.
Jiang Lingzhi closed her eyes in frustration while standing still on the spot. After a long while, she followed him into the store, carrying her backpack.
The light inside the convenience store was very bright, and Li Shunan grabbed a bottle of mineral water from a shelf at the side, placed it on the cashier counter, and stared at her. “What do you want to eat?”
Jiang Lingzhi froze at the entrance of the convenience store. “Me?”
‘Oh dear…. He has indeed heard me!’
