Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Neither Too Distant Nor Too Close Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Neither Too Distant Nor Too Close “Yeah!” Shen Zhaozhao said with righteous indignation, nodding her head, “Look how good I am to you, I’ve not only prepared eggs and big meat buns for you, but also soymilk and dough sticks. You have grains and meat, plus protein, a balanced diet. Add on the love of a girlfriend, and I guarantee you’ll feel energized and full of vitality after eating.”
Sheng Chuyi: “But didn’t I mention coffee to you?”
“Drinking coffee first thing in the morning is so bad for the stomach! Soymilk is better, it’s stomach-nourishing. I’m really thinking about your health here,” Shen Zhaozhao said without a hint of guilt.
“No matter what, you’re always right!” Sheng Chuyi admitted defeat to her.
“If you’re not going to eat, then give it back to me,” Shen Zhaozhao said, reaching out her hand toward him.
In reality, she hadn’t eaten much herself and could still manage to eat a bit more.
“Wasn’t it bought for me?” Sheng Chuyi said, amused yet exasperated, having never before seen someone ask for a gift back.
“Aren’t you not eating?” She was just trying to avoid waste.
“Who said I’m not eating!” Sheng Chuyi said with a laugh. Was this girl always so impatient that she couldn’t wait for someone to finish speaking?
“Oh, then eat it, I’m leaving!” Shen Zhaozhao was about to turn around when, the next second, Sheng Chuyi grabbed her wrist.
“What’s up?” Shen Zhaozhao looked up.
Sheng Chuyi: “Eat with me.” Then, he pulled her over to sit down on a bench nearby.
“I have a class soon,” Shen Zhaozhao protested mildly.
Sheng Chuyi ate gracefully, yet his movements were swift, making an ordinary breakfast of soymilk and buns feel like a feast.
Indeed, good-looking people even make eating a pleasure to watch.
Shen Zhaozhao, propping her chin, stared intently at him.
Indeed, having a relationship status makes a difference, she thought; she could look as much as she wanted without sneaking around.
“What are you looking at?” Sheng Chuyi, meeting her intent gaze, asked with amusement.
Shen Zhaozhao boldly admitted, “Looking at you, my boyfriend is so handsome!”
“Shen Zhaozhao, show some restraint!” Sheng Chuyi said, his eyes full of helplessness.
“I didn’t say anything wrong,” Shen Zhaozhao huffed dissatisfiedly, “Is there a problem with me looking at my own boyfriend?”
“No, as long as you’re happy!” Sheng Chuyi couldn’t argue with her, mainly because he feared she might get upset.
“Are you done eating? Because I’ll head back if you are,” Shen Zhaozhao eyed him, clearly eager to leave.
“What’s the rush?” Sheng Chuyi raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at her.
Shen Zhaozhao: “Today is the first day of class, I have to make a good impression on the teacher.”
Of course, that was just an excuse.
The real reason was that last night, while lying in bed and scrolling through TikTok, she stumbled upon an emotional consultant whose words seemed quite sensible.
The gist of the advice was that girls shouldn’t be too clingy; being too clingy would annoy their boyfriends and make them feel like you can’t live without them, leading to them taking you for granted.
You should be like flying a kite, close yet at a distance, that way your boyfriend’s heart will firmly orbit around you.
She found it very reasonable.
Now that breakfast had been delivered, it was time to pull back.
She needed to let him feel cared for, sense her consideration, yet not come off as clingy…
Sheng Chuyi fixed his gaze directly into her eyes as if trying to see through her.
Since when did this girl start caring about a teacher’s opinion?
Who was the one who used to sleep in class all the time and annoyed the teachers to the point of calling her parents every other day?
