Please don't be so arrogant.
"He Li, look, I have this!"
A pleasant voice rang out on the early morning street.
He Li turned his head to look at Miao Xiaoyu's fair, delicate hand.
In that small hand, she was clutching two small cards!
"What's this?" He Li glanced at them suspiciously.
Miao Xiaoyu pouted: "Movie tickets!"
"They're for this Friday night, do you want to go see it?"
"I happened to get two!" She invited him with a smile.
As the distance between her and He Li grew smaller, Miao Xiaoyu was less reserved when spending time with him; for instance, she only blushed slightly when inviting him to the movie now.
If it were before, this girl would not only be flustered and shy, but she probably would have stuttered while speaking.
He Li looked at her cute appearance and nodded.
"Alright, let's treat it as a way to relax for a while!"
Hearing this, Miao Xiaoyu smiled even more happily.
"Then it's a deal, I'll contact you when the time comes!"
"Mm, I'll leave it to you!" He Li's tone was somewhat doting.
Miao Xiaoyu put away the movie tickets, her heart leaping with joy.
Until a figure appeared ahead...
"He Li!" In the distance, Liu Yuyan waved at him.
Miao Xiaoyu immediately frowned, feeling displeased: "Why is she here again?"
"How come I didn't notice she was so thick-skinned before? You've clearly rejected her several times, yet she still insists on clinging to you."
He Li agreed with her words.
However, he felt this situation was very familiar.
He remembered that when he used to chase Liu Yuyan, didn't he just shamelessly cling to her no matter how many times she rejected him? Now that the situation had reversed and Liu Yuyan was the one fawning over him, it was truly the cycle of karma!
He Li couldn't help but sigh.
He really didn't want to pay any attention to Liu Yuyan.
But there was nothing he could do when someone was so shameless and clingy.
All he could do was reject her even more harshly.
Only by ruthlessly and mercilessly rejecting her could he completely put an end to such thoughts in Liu Yuyan's mind.
Thinking this, He Li already had a plan.
Opposite him, Liu Yuyan had also walked over quickly...
"He Li, I've been waiting here for you for a long time!"
"Why are you only coming now?" Liu Yuyan complained.
He Li looked at her in surprise: "Are you sick?"
"What do you mean?" Liu Yuyan was dissatisfied.
He Li shrugged: "I didn't ask you to wait. You came here to wait for me out of wishful thinking, what does that have to do with me? Besides, whether I arrive late or not is my business. What right do you have to manage that?"
"I'm really baffled. What exactly is wrong with you? Why do you keep popping up in front of me every single day looking for trouble?"
"You..." Liu Yuyan was somewhat irritated.
If it were before, she would probably still be flustered.
However, she wasn't panicked now.
Yesterday, seeing the name of Carp Studio, she had guessed He Li's intentions and was convinced that He Li still had feelings for her. She came today intending to clear the air and give He Li a chance to reconcile.
It was precisely because of this that she felt annoyed by He Li's words meant to provoke her, yet she remained completely calm.
"Sure enough, he's starting to pretend to distance himself from me again."
"If I hadn't figured everything out yesterday..."
"I really would have gone up to apologize to He Li just now."
"Hmph, his little scheme is quite clever."
Sneering inwardly, Liu Yuyan tried hard to calm down.
Only then did she look up and stare at He Li: "Alright!"
"You don't have to pretend anymore. I came here today to wait for you specifically to get things completely cleared up."
"Oh?" He Li's expression was amused. Although he didn't know what Liu Yuyan was playing at, he vaguely sensed that she must have misunderstood something; otherwise, this woman wouldn't still be acting like this.
Thinking of this, he even felt a bit of anticipation.
Anticipating Liu Yuyan to say everything in her self-righteous way...
And then seeing how devastated she would look after he denied it!
As he thought about it, he even felt a little excited.
Seeing He Li's expression, Liu Yuyan thought the slight trembling of his body from excitement was because of what she had just said. She felt smug: "Hearing me say I want to clear everything up..."
"He's even trembling; sure enough, I guessed right."
"He Li, you've been seen through by me after all!"
"And you, Miao Xiaoyu, will inevitably end up with nothing!"
While thinking this, Liu Yuyan stopped wasting words. With an arrogant expression, she got straight to the point and brought up Carp Studio...
"He Li, I went to your Studio yesterday."
"It's a pity you left early and weren't there!"
"But that doesn't matter. When I went yesterday, I discovered the name of your Studio that you haven't announced yet..."
"It's called Carp Studio, right?"
Saying this, the corners of Liu Yuyan's mouth curled up.
He Li nodded: "So what if it is?"
"Then that's it!" Liu Yuyan became even more smug: "You thought you could fool others with a homophone, but could you fool me? The two characters for Carp (Li Yu) are taken from your name 'Li' and my name 'Yu', right?"
"He Li, you really went to great lengths."
"You clearly still love me, but to force me to bow my head and admit my mistakes to you, or even take the initiative to chase you, you actually threw a tantrum for so many days and intentionally acted cold to distance yourself from me."
"Little did you know, your Studio name exposed everything."
"If you were really planning to break things off with me..."
"You wouldn't have chosen such a name for your Studio."
Listening to her words, He Li was completely shocked.
Carp is Li-Yu? Good grief, how come he didn't know that?
This Liu Yuyan is really too good at overthinking, right?
He Li was plunged into shock, and Liu Yuyan, seeing He Li stunned, thought he was speechless. She stepped forward and revealed a confident smile, saying: "I wasn't wrong, was I?"
"Look at you, you're stunned!"
"However, you did well this time."
"I also realized that I do still have feelings for you."
"Let's just consider it me making up for my previous rejections!"
"I won't hold it against you for those things you did that hurt my heart."
"I can reluctantly agree to be with you, just as you wanted, let's consider it me bowing my head and taking the initiative to chase you!" As she spoke, she took a box out of the backpack behind her.
"This is breakfast I made. I didn't make this breakfast for you to prove how outstanding I am."
"I just want to tell the person next to you..."
"What I lost, I will definitely get back!"
As she spoke, she handed over the food container.
He Li also gradually sobered up from his bewilderment.
He glanced at the food container in Liu Yuyan's hand, then looked at the confident, smiling Liu Yuyan, frowned for two seconds, and then couldn't help but say: "Aren't you being a bit too self-righteous?"
Hearing this, Liu Yuyan frowned.
"He Li, we've already cleared things up, so stop pretending."
"I'm willing to be your girlfriend."
"And I even brought you breakfast."
"This is already my greatest concession to you."
"Don't push your luck!"
"If you continue like this, you're going to ruin everything!"
After she finished speaking, He Li really couldn't hold it back anymore.
To what extent must a person be confident to be able to say such things?
He shook his head helplessly: "Classmate Liu Yuyan!"
"I trouble you to wake up; you being like this makes me very afraid."
"I'm afraid of being infected by a lunatic. I'm a normal person, I can't be as arrogant as a lunatic."
"Also, Carp (Li Yu), the 'Yu' is for Jade!"
"And, the label on the side of your food container wasn't torn off cleanly."
"Next time you want to send someone a homemade breakfast, please ask the delivery guy not to stick a label on it!"
After he finished speaking, Miao Xiaoyu laughed out loud.
Liu Yuyan's face turned as pale as paper.
"You... you're lying to me, you just want me to bow my head, right?"
She trembled all over, her eyes red, biting her lip as she questioned him.
He Li curled his lip: "Wrong!"
Clatter!!!
The food container in Liu Yuyan's hand fell; she covered her mouth, trying her best to restrain herself from crying out...
