She didn't expect him to actually say it. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
He said, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
She replied, "I... I don't know what to say."
He asked, "So do you like me?"
She felt a bit flustered and said, "I... I don't know."
He responded, "Then think about it carefully."
She said, "Okay."
He continued, "Let me know once you've thought it through."
She replied, "Okay."
He then asked, "Are you free right now?"
She answered, "Yes."
He suggested, "Let's go out and have some fun."
She agreed, "Okay."
He inquired, "Where do you want to go?"
After thinking for a moment, she said, "I... I want to go to the supermarket."
He laughed and said, "The supermarket?"
She confirmed, "Mm-hmm."
He asked, "Do you like going to the supermarket?"
She replied, "I... I just want to go."
He said, "Alright, I'll go with you."
She responded, "Okay."
He added, "Then I'll come pick you up now."
She said, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Li Xiaolu hurriedly tidied up the living room. Her living room was quite messy; the table was filled with books, clothes were strewn on the sofa, and there were a few strands of hair on the floor. This was her way of living alone. She usually didn't care much about tidiness as long as she was comfortable. But now she was going to meet Jijun.
She didn't want him to see her living room in such a mess. She quickly tidied up the books, put the clothes into the wardrobe, and threw her hair tie into the trash can. After cleaning the living room, she hurried to the bathroom to freshen up. She brushed her teeth, washed her face, and applied a light makeup. Looking at herself in the mirror, she felt a sense of satisfaction. She thought that now she could meet Jijun. She believed he would like her as she was now.
Half an hour later, Jijun arrived at Li Xiaolu's apartment door. He knocked on the door. Li Xiaolu opened it and saw him standing outside. He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with gold-rimmed glasses, looking refined and elegant. He looked at her and said, "Did you put on some makeup?" She felt a bit shy and replied, "I... I just did a little." He said, "It looks great." She blushed slightly and said, "Thank you." He then said, "Shall we go?" She replied, "Sure."
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at a supermarket. They pushed a shopping cart and walked slowly. Jijun said, "Actually, I don't really like eating fruit." Li Xiaolu was somewhat surprised and asked, "You don't like fruit?" Jijun nodded and replied, "Yeah." Li Xiaolu looked at him and asked, "Then why did you buy peaches last time?" Jijun looked at her and said, "Because you like them." Li Xiaolu was taken aback. She hadn't expected that he bought peaches for that reason. She said, "But you also bought other fruits." Jijun smiled and replied, "I just picked them randomly."
Li Xiaolu looked at him and asked, "Why did you buy those fruits?"
Jijun replied, "Because my niece likes to eat them."
Li Xiaolu was a bit curious, "Your niece?"
Jijun nodded, "Yes."
Li Xiaolu continued to look at her, "How old is she?"
Jijun said, "Seventeen."
Li Xiaolu asked, "Where does she go to school?"
Jijun answered, "In New York."
Li Xiaolu was somewhat surprised, "She is also in New York?"
Jijun nodded again, "Yes."
Li Xiaolu looked at her and asked, "Does she come to see you often?"
Jijun shook her head, "Not often."
Li Xiaolu looked at her and said, "Then she..."
Jijun looked back at her, "What’s wrong?"
Li Xiaolu felt a bit embarrassed and said, "I don’t have anything."
Jijun looked at her and asked, "Are you wondering why I appeared with her at Chrome Hearts?"
Li Xiaolu felt a bit awkward and replied, "I... I didn’t."
Jijun assured her, "I really consider her my niece."
Li Xiaolu asked, "Why?"
Jijun said, "She is very well-behaved."
Li Xiaolu looked at her and asked, "Do you... do you like her?"
Jijun smiled and said, "Of course I like her."
Li Xiaolu looked at Jijun with an indescribable feeling in her heart. She thought that he might really care for his niece. She then asked, "Do you often go shopping with her?"
Jijun shook his head, "Not often."
Li Xiaolu looked at her and said, "Then you two..."
Jijun looked back at her and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Li Xiaolu felt a bit shy and said, "I don’t have anything."
Jijun looked at her and asked, "Are you wondering why I went shopping with her that day?"
Li Xiaolu felt a bit awkward. "I... I don't have anything."
Jijun looked at her. "That day, I just happened to run into her. She pulled me to Chrome Hearts and said she wanted a necklace."
Li Xiaolu looked at her. "And then?"
Jijun replied, "So I helped her buy it."
Li Xiaolu asked, "Do you often buy things for her?"
Jijun shook her head. "Not often."
Li Xiaolu continued, "Then you two..."
Jijun looked at her. "What about it?"
Li Xiaolu felt a bit shy. "I don't have anything to say."
Jijun looked at her. "Are you curious why I bought her the necklace?"
Li Xiaolu felt embarrassed. "I... I don't have any questions."
Jijun said, "I just thought that necklace suited her very well."
Li Xiaolu looked at her. "You... you think it suits her?"
Jijun nodded. "Yeah."
Li Xiaolu asked, "Then you..."
Jijun looked at her. "What is it?"
Li Xiaolu felt a bit shy again. "I don't have anything to say."
Jijun looked at her. "Are you really not curious about anything?"
Li Xiaolu shook her head. "No, nothing."
Jijun looked at her. "What about you? Do you have something to say to me?"
Li Xiaolu seemed confused. "I... with you..."
Jijun looked at her. "Don't you want to explain something to me?"
Li Xiaolu was stunned.
