Don't underestimate the poor and elderly; I was thrilled to refuse the class beauty's adva

After a long while, Shen Zhiyi finally struggled out of Zhang Yifan's arms, her face flushed.

She took a half step back, raised her hand and punched him several times in the chest, the force was very light, as if she was venting the shyness in her heart.

"You bastard! You big bastard!"

Zhang Yifan looked at her innocently: "Miss, it seems like you were the one who threw yourself into my arms."

Shen Zhiyi's face flushed even redder, her neck turning pink: "It's not because of that! Why didn't you tell me you were coming to see me!"

Zhang Yifan looked down at her, the sea breeze passing between them, gently lifting the ends of her hair.

He said, "Because I can't help wanting to see you."

Shen Zhiyi felt like her head was about to explode.

The words echoed in her ears, each one seeming magnified a hundred times, buzzing and crashing against her heart.

She glared at him, her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. Then she suddenly turned around and walked away.

Zhang Yifan was completely stunned, standing there watching Shen Zhiyi's figure walk further and further away.

This plot isn't right!

According to the normal script, shouldn't she be moved enough to hug him again?

Why did you leave?

He stood there stunned for several seconds, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

Is she angry? Should I have told her beforehand? Or was my previous statement too blunt?

Shen Zhiyi had walked several meters away when she suddenly stopped and turned back to look at him.

"Let's go, aren't we going to see the sunrise?"

Zhang Yifan's lips curled into a smile, and he quickly strode after him, exclaiming, "You're here!"

The two walked side by side along the path leading to the sea.

The moonlight cast their shadows on the stone path, one high and one low, overlapping each other.

No one spoke, but Shen Zhiyi's profile was flushed with a faint blush under the moonlight, and all the ambiguity was written in that blush.

The relationship between the two is just one thin layer away from being established, but that thin layer is getting thinner and thinner, so thin that it could break at any moment.

Zhang Yifan secretly glanced at her and found that she was looking down at the road, her ears were still red, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she was trying to suppress something that she couldn't suppress.

He quickly looked away, pretending to gaze at the distant horizon, but his ears were burning.

After walking for an unknown distance, Shen Zhiyi felt a little tired and sat down on the beach.

Zhang Yifan sat down next to her, took out his phone and glanced at the time; it was almost four o'clock.

They walked aimlessly for almost an hour, no wonder their legs were sore.

He thought he was tired from driving for four hours, but it turned out he had walked.

Shen Zhiyi turned her head to look at him: "So, when you didn't reply to my messages before, you were making suggestive remarks?"

Zhang Yifan nodded quickly, deliberately putting on a pitiful expression: "It's hard to buy high-speed rail tickets late at night, so I could only drive to see you. As you know, I'm still in my internship period, and the whole way was at night. I didn't even dare to stop at a rest area on the highway. I drove very carefully."

Shen Zhiyi straightened her face and said in an extremely rational tone, "What you're doing is wrong. You've already learned the theory test. Probationary drivers need to be accompanied by a driver with at least three years of driving experience before they can drive on the highway. If something happens while you're driving alone at night, you won't even have anyone to help you."

Zhang Yifan opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

Is this even correct?

Seeing his embarrassed expression, unable to speak, Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but laugh.

The laughter was soft, but it was exceptionally clear on the quiet beach, like the fine sand carried away by the receding waves, gently brushing against my heart.

"You're only allowed this once, okay? Don't be so willful again." She paused, her voice suddenly softening, "Otherwise... I'll worry."

After she finished speaking, she stared at him with bright, sparkling eyes.

The moonlight fell into her eyes, making her two clear pupils look like obsidian soaked in water, reflecting his image.

Zhang Yifan thought that after going through so much, his skin was thick enough to be impervious to blades and spears.

But under her gaze, his weathered old face began to burn, a rare occurrence, from the base of his neck all the way to the tips of his ears.

He immediately straightened his back and said with a respectful attitude, as if accepting inspection, "Yes, sir! I promise there will never be such dangerous driving again!"

The moonlight shone on Shen Zhiyi's face, making her already beautiful features appear even more delicate.

She tilted her head slightly, looking at the deep blue-black sea in the distance, her lips slightly pursed, her eyelashes casting two faint shadows in the moonlight.

Zhang Yifan was unconsciously stunned.

Shen Zhiyi slowly began, "Every summer vacation, I come to my maternal grandmother's house with my mother to stay for a while."

This beach is where I visit most often.

However, the last time I watched the sunrise was when I was very young, and my mom went with me.

She looked at the distant horizon, her voice very soft.

"My mom told me that only someone who loves you very, very much will accompany you to watch the sunrise."

Zhang Yifan felt his heart skip a beat.

He turned to look at Shen Zhiyi, a thought surging wildly in his mind.

Wait, shouldn't I be the one confessing my feelings?

What does she mean by that?

Is she going to confess her feelings first?

His palms began to sweat, and his fingers unconsciously scratched at the sand a couple of times as his mind raced, trying to come up with a solution.

If she confesses her feelings first, how should he respond?

Should I say "Me too" or "Actually, I've wanted to say this for a long time"?

But Shen Zhiyi only paused slightly before continuing, "When I was little, I didn't understand what my mother meant. I only understood it when I grew up."

Someone who doesn't love you would never get up early to watch the sunrise with you.

That sunrise, my mother exhausted all her love for me…

Zhang Yifan remained silent for several seconds, and the curve of expectation that was rising wildly in his heart crashed to the floor with a thud.

He thought Shen Zhiyi was going to confess first, but this girl pulled this stunt.

He couldn't help but mentally rant: Is she some kind of comedian? She really knows how to ruin the mood!

One second he thought they were about to have a romantic confession on the beach, but the next second she veered off to "exhausting maternal love".

He took a deep breath and tried to keep smiling, but his lips started to twitch.

Shen Zhiyi seemed to notice his silence, turned her head to look at him, and a sly smile appeared on her lips.

She pulled her coat tighter and leaned a little against his shoulder: "The sun rises early in Lian City. I estimate we'll see it before five o'clock. I'll take a nap first, and wake me up when it's almost sunrise."

Zhang Yifan responded.

Shen Zhiyi closed her eyes, the smile on her lips not yet completely gone.

She thought to herself: Idiot, I've given you such obvious hints, you can't just leave without saying anything.

If you don't confess your feelings by sunrise, then... then... then she'll confess first.
