I loaded the character design panel.

As amusing as it may be, after being exposed for her honesty, Ang Lee dared not make any more boastful remarks.

He realized that Zhong Lixue was a very serious person; once she said she would agree to any request, she would agree to anything.

"So, you didn't move away just now because you thought I was plain-looking?"

Zhong Lixue was willing to believe his explanation, but she still couldn't help but press him for answers.

She always walked with her head down at school because she felt inferior because she wasn't pretty enough.

Moreover, her clothes were not nice; they were old and worn out.

"Average looks? You?"

Ang Lee was taken aback by her words, looking at her pretty face, unable to tell whether this was a statement from Versailles or a manipulative woman.

"Uh-huh."

Zhong Lixue nodded seriously.

She wanted to confirm one thing: what kind of person she was in Ang Lee's eyes.

Although everyone has a love for beauty, everyone's aesthetic sense is different.

For example, some people like tall, mature women, some like women with large breasts and big hips, and some like slender, petite girls.

"Of course not, didn't I say before? I think you look beautiful without your glasses."

Ang Lee doesn't have mind-reading abilities and couldn't guess what she was thinking, so he simply repeated what he had said before.

This was his true thought. Zhong Lixue's features were exquisite, and even without makeup, she was still beautiful, more so than many high-scoring beauties who relied on heavy makeup.

That's why he couldn't help but take a few more glances when he saw Zhong Lixue take off her glasses at the milk tea shop.

Moreover, not only is her face beautiful, but even her toes are beautiful.

"Thanks……"

Hearing his approval again, Zhong Lixue's heart trembled and her face turned red.

That's great. Although she has an ordinary appearance and average figure, Ang Lee thinks she is very beautiful.

Is this a case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder?

"She's quite easy to coax." Seeing her turn from sadness to joy and no longer looking like she was about to cry, Li An secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After ending that topic, the two continued eating.

They remained silent, but the atmosphere was no longer as awkward as before.

A short while later, Ang Lee's phone, which was in his pocket, vibrated a few times.

This time it wasn't a private message, but a group chat message from a gaming group.

Old Pig: "?"

Old Pig's full name is Zhu Jiajie. Although his nickname is Pig, he is actually tall and thin, like a bamboo pole.

Old Sheep: "?"

Lao Yang's full name is Yang Shu. He was a good friend he made in high school. Although they didn't go to the same university, they were in the same city.

Li An looked up at Zhong Lixue across from him, pondered for a moment, and then replied to them:

"I'm not playing tonight, I have something to do."

According to the original plan, he was supposed to play Delta Force with his good buddies tonight, but plans can't keep up with changes.

Old Pig: "Everyone makes different choices. You're not wrong, but all I can say is that you're not our brother."

Old Sheep: "You're just a passerby!"

Old Pig: "What does 'passerby' mean?"

Old Sheep: "You are neither our friend, nor our brother, nor our enemy."

"I'm still eating, wait a bit."

Seeing them repeating Liu Qiangdong's quotes one after another like a stand-up comedy routine, Ang Lee shook his head, both amused and exasperated, and finally agreed.

These two guys are as mischievous as ever. It seems they've communicated privately and decided to confront him because he was with a girl today.

"Xiao Zhong".

After replying to the message, Ang Lee put his phone on the table and looked across at the other side.

"I am here."

Although Zhong Lixue was eating with her head down, her mind was entirely on him, and she looked up and replied instantly.

She had been thinking about whether to copy Lu Yao's plan, which was to invite Ang Lee to dinner, go shopping, and see a movie.

But if she does this, won't Ang Lee misunderstand?

After all, when a boy and a girl go to the movies or have a meal together, it's equivalent to going on a date.

"I made plans to play games with my friends today, so I might have to leave first." After thinking for a moment, Li An carefully considered his words.

"Are you leaving?" Zhong Lixue was startled by the question, not expecting the turning point of parting to come so quickly.

"I haven't eaten yet, so it's not time to leave now, but I'm going to the internet cafe after I finish eating." Li An shook his head.

"Oh, oh." Realizing that he wasn't leaving immediately, Zhong Lixue breathed a sigh of relief.

Having settled the matter, Ang Lee sped up the cooking process.

Wasting food is not a good habit, and this Shaxian snack shop is quite good; the Yangzhou fried rice and chicken legs are not bad either.

The fried rice was a generous portion, but Zhong Lixue still ate it all up.

"Cool."

After finishing his Sprite, Ang Lee leaned back and couldn't help but touch his stomach.

Seeing that he was very satisfied with his meal, Zhong Lixue went to pay the bill.

"Thank you for treating. Will you be able to get back to school by yourself?"

When she returned after paying, Li An stood up to thank her.

In fact, Ang Lee knew his question was stupid. After all, Zhong Lixue had already been working on this street before she met him. It wasn't far from the school, so what was so difficult about going back?

He asked this question mainly to test the other party's thoughts.

If Xiao Zhong wanted to, he could see them off; there was still plenty of time.

"Of course." Zhong Lixue nodded.

"That's good, let's go." Seeing that she didn't offer to see him off, Li An naturally had no reason to offer to do so.

The rain finally stopped during dinner time.

"My friend is still waiting for me, so I'll go first. Bye-bye."

Ang Lee stood at the door and gently waved goodbye to her.

However, Zhong Lixue did not wave in response, but turned her head to look at him, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

"What's wrong?" Noticing that she had something to say, Li An stopped his stride.

"Ang Lee, can I add you as a WeChat friend?"

Zhong Lixue hesitated for a few seconds before cautiously asking.

This was the first time she had ever asked a guy for his WeChat. She wasn't very good at it and didn't know how to ask.

"Sure, I'll scan you."

Seeing that this was her intention, Ang Lee immediately took out his phone.

The two scanned the QR code in person, added each other as friends, and then went their separate ways.

"See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

After saying his formal goodbyes, Ang Lee turned and walked away without lingering.

"well……"

Zhong Lixue stood there watching him walk away. After a long while, she couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

Actually, when she hesitated to speak just now, she wanted to ask if she could go to the internet cafe with him.

Since it's a holiday tonight, she doesn't have much to do since she's back in her dorm so early.

But when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she backed down.

Because Ang Lee was going to meet a friend, bringing his own words along might embarrass him.
