Chapter 77: Chapter 77 He said he doesn’t like me
They each took a bite in turns, quickly finishing the remaining skewers of meat.
Watching Sheng Chuyi’s movements, Shen Zhaozhao thought it seemed simple enough for her to do as well, and she couldn’t help wanting to give it a try.
“It’s really not that difficult, just pay attention to flipping them, so they don’t get burnt,” Sheng Chuyi reminded her from the side.
Even so, Shen Zhaozhao still managed to char a few.
Luckily, they had brought plenty of food, so there was no worry of going hungry.
Shen Zhaozhao settled down and contentedly watched Sheng Chuyi grill, occasionally feeding her.
Sheng Chuyi glanced over at Shen Zhaozhao inadvertently and noticed some grease around her mouth.
Sheng Chuyi freed a hand and took a clean napkin from nearby to hand to her.
“Hmm?” Shen Zhaozhao blinked her large eyes, looking puzzled at the gesture.
Sheng Chuyi pointed out, “You have some grease at the corner of your mouth.”
“Oh, can you help me wipe it off?” Shen Zhaozhao, hands full, moved her face closer to Sheng Chuyi.
Sheng Chuyi didn’t give it much thought and casually cleaned her face for her.
“Thanks!” Shen Zhaozhao lifted her head and smiled at him, asking if he wanted to eat anymore?

“No need, you eat,” Sheng Chuyi said.
“Okay!” Shen Zhaozhao withdrew her hand and continued nibbling on the skewer she held.
The two had grown up together since they were children, and had become accustomed to such interactions, with neither of them finding it out of place.
However, the people around them had their eyes wide open in shock.
“What’s with you all?”
Shen Zhaozhao noticed that the way a few others were looking at her and Sheng Chuyi was a bit too intense, so she looked down at the skewer in her hand and said, “Do you guys want some too? Wait a bit longer, it’ll be ready soon!”
Who wanted to eat when they had already been fed a dose of dog food!
Sang Youyou pulled her to one side, and the two girls whispered, “Are you two really not together?”
“What do you mean by together?” Shen Zhaozhao took a moment to catch on.
Sang Youyou: “As in dating each other!”
“Of course not! Haven’t I told you, there’s no chance for us?”
“Tsk, your future boyfriends and girlfriends are going to have a tough time.” Who could stand their significant other being so close to someone else?
“I think you two should just get together and save others the trouble,” Sang Youyou suggested mischievously.
“What are you talking about?” Shen Zhaozhao glanced at Sheng Chuyi, “We’re just good neighbors, good buddies. Besides, dating at an early age can affect studies, and I am a good student.”
Sang Youyou wanted to say, with that attitude towards studies, did she even need to worry about being influenced by someone?
Which good student sleeps in class?
Also, since when do good neighbors and buddies share a skewer and help wipe each other’s mouths?
Sang Youyou mentally replaced the two of them with Xu Siyan and Lu Xu, and instantly felt a wave of goosebumps.
Indeed, one shouldn’t think such things without care, as fanciful thoughts could shorten one’s life.
Lu Xu then took the spot Shen Zhaozhao had previously occupied, and looked across at Sheng Chuyi, saying, “Hey, Chuyi, do you like Zhaozhao?”
“No, don’t talk nonsense!” Sheng Chuyi outright denied.
“Really don’t like her? I think she’s quite cute,” Lu Xu remarked, deliberately turning to glance in Shen Zhaozhao’s direction.
“Don’t bother her!” Sheng Chuyi suddenly looked up and gave him a cold glance.
“What did you say?” Lu Xu raised an eyebrow, unsure if he genuinely didn’t understand or if he was pretending not to.
Sheng Chuyi frowned slightly and coldly warned, “She’s just in junior high, don’t disturb her studies.”
Far from being offended, Lu Xu smiled and said, “I get it, you must be worried that liking her would affect Shen Zhaozhao’s studies, right?”
“You’re thinking too much!” Sheng Chuyi said.
As it happened, Shen Zhaozhao and Sang Youyou came back just in time to hear the last bit of the conversation.
Shen Zhaozhao turned towards Sang Youyou, “See, I told you he doesn’t like me!”
