"Since we're just neighbors, why do you always care so much about how I feel?"
Shen Lang set down his bowl and chopsticks, braced both hands on the table, craned his neck, and tilted his head as he looked at Li Liusi's pretty face with interest.
"Tell me, do you like me?"
Li Liusi's body suddenly trembled. She looked up at Shen Lang in disbelief, then hurriedly averted her flustered, shy gaze.
"Just kidding."
Shen Lang knew Li Liusi was interested in him. After all, her astonishing Favorability was right there.
But given Li Liusi's personality, there was no way she would admit so openly that she liked him, so this topic could end here.
"Eat up."
Shen Lang opened Douyin and scrolled through short videos. He did not forget to keep putting food into Li Liusi's bowl. "After you finish, go back and get some proper sleep. Get your health back first."
"C-Can I?"
Li Liusi suddenly asked.
"Hm? Can you what?"
Shen Lang blinked in confusion.
Li Liusi took a deep breath, clenched her hands into fists on her thighs, raised her snow-white neck, and lifted her beautiful, captivating face. Shy yet resolute, she asked:
"I... can I like you?"
At that instant, even Shen Lang's breathing skipped a beat.
The atmosphere instantly became terrifyingly quiet, and the sound from Douyin's speakers was crystal clear.
"Watch closely. This man is called Xiao Zhuang, and he's currently surrounded by more than a dozen small fries..."
Having finally gathered the courage to confess, Li Liusi lowered her head bashfully. Her nervous, awkward gaze secretly studied the stunned Shen Lang.
Shen Lang had never expected Li Liusi to truly dare confess to him so boldly. It was far too unlike her introverted personality.
So what was he supposed to do now?
