Li Xiaolu secretly glanced at him; his profile was truly handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips pressed together, looking just like the male lead from a comic book.
As she continued to look, an unusual feeling suddenly arose in her heart. She quickly averted her gaze, scolding herself inwardly for being infatuated and unable to move on upon seeing a handsome guy. Taking a deep breath to calm herself, she said to the man, "My name is Li Xiaolu."
The man lifted his head and glanced at her. "Jijun."
"Jijun?" Li Xiaolu was taken aback for a moment before bursting into laughter. "Hahahahahaha!"
Jijun: "..."
Li Xiaolu covered her mouth, trying not to laugh too exaggeratedly. "Hahahahahaha, your name is so funny, Jijun! Who do you have a crush on? Hahahahahaha!"
Jijun: "..."
He pressed his lips together and remained silent.
Once Li Xiaolu had laughed enough, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said to Jijun, "Your name is much more interesting than mine."
Jijun: "..."
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he said nothing.
Outside, the sky gradually darkened, and the evening breeze grew cooler. Li Xiaolu was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt and couldn't help but shiver from the cold.
Jijun noticed this and frowned, asking, "Are you cold?"
Li Xiaolu shook her head and smiled. "Not really; I just have a weaker constitution, so I feel it more acutely."
Jijun remained silent as he glanced at Li Xiaolu's hands.
Following his gaze, Li Xiaolu realized her fingers had become stiff from the cold. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she quickly hid her hands in her pockets and smiled. "See? It's nothing serious; they're just a bit stiff."
Jijun didn't respond.
He suddenly realized that his earlier comment might have been a bit hurtful. Not being someone who was good at explaining himself, he chose silence in that moment.
But Li Xiaolu misunderstood his meaning. She thought he didn't believe her, so she handed him her phone and said, "Look, I'm really not cold."
Jijun glanced at her phone screen, which was dark and showed low battery. He frowned and asked, "Is your phone about to die?"
"Yeah," Li Xiaolu nodded and said, "So I need to hurry and get a taxi home."
Jijun nodded and didn't say anything more. The two of them stood by the roadside waiting for a taxi.
The night breeze grew colder, and Li Xiaolu shivered, but she insisted on standing there waiting for a ride. Jijun watched her, and a strange feeling suddenly surged within him. He couldn't quite articulate what that feeling was; he just sensed that this girl didn't seem as strong as she appeared on the surface. Perhaps she also had a softer side inside her.
After hesitating for a moment, he said to Li Xiaolu, "Your phone is about to die. If you don't manage to get a taxi, you can still contact me."
Li Xiaolu glanced at him and nodded, "Okay." She took out her phone, opened WeChat, displayed the QR code, and held it out to Jijun. "You can scan it."
Jijun took out his phone to scan her QR code, but it didn't work.
Li Xiaolu looked at her phone screen in confusion and then awkwardly said, "I'm sorry, my phone is out of battery."
Jijun nodded in understanding. He took out a power bank and offered it to Li Xiaolu. "You can use mine for now."
Li Xiaolu looked at him with some hesitation.
Jijun said lightly, "We're friends, aren't we?"
Hearing his words made Li Xiaolu's heart skip a beat. She glanced at the power bank in his hand and then back at him. Finally, she accepted the power bank and said, "Thank you."
Jijun didn't say anything. He took out his phone and glanced at it, saying, "I've added you; you should receive my messages now."
"Mm." Li Xiaolu nodded.
She plugged her power bank into her phone to charge it.
Jijun said, "I'm going to smoke a cigarette."
"Mm."
Jijun walked a short distance away, lit a cigarette, and started smoking.
He rarely smoked unless he was particularly agitated.
He didn't know why he had lent the power bank to Li Xiaolu; perhaps it was because he felt there was something special about her.
After finishing one cigarette, he returned to Li Xiaolu's side.
Li Xiaolu was looking down at her phone. When he saw the screen light up, he asked, "How's it going?"
Li Xiaolu looked up and smiled, saying, "It's fully charged now."
"That's good," Jijun nodded.
