Worried about keeping the two girls waiting, Li Wanyin had Chen Shi'an go ahead to the bus stop while she went to the bakery next door to buy some bread for the trip.
When she came out carrying the bread, Chen Shi'an had already spotted her and waved to her from a distance.
Wen Zhixia and Lin Meng Qiu, who had put their phones away, looked in the direction he was waving.
They saw this roommate sister who was moving from adolescence into maturity, with a slender figure, lovely features, and a gentle air.
Wen Zhixia had already met Li Wanyin yesterday. She had even shared the lunch Li Wanyin brought Chen Shi'an at noon.
For Lin Meng Qiu, however, today was their first meeting.
Although her dad had mentioned this tenant named "Xiao Li" while chatting with Chen Shi'an before, Lin Meng Qiu had never paid much attention. Her family had six rental apartments with nearly twenty tenants, after all. Why would she concern herself with who rented them?
If not for Chen Shi'an, she probably would never have had anything to do with this older girl.
On meeting Li Wanyin for the first time, Lin Meng Qiu naturally maintained her boundaries.
After all, no matter how pretty or nice this older girl was, she reckoned they would have no connection. This was simply a one-off meeting, with Chen Shi'an as the link between them, to go cycling at Red Tree Lake together.
Neither hostile nor friendly, she had always been this way with everyone she had just met, including Chen Shi'an and Wen Zhixia.
Faced with those boundaries, Chen Shi'an simply did whatever he needed to do, spoke when he had something to say, and asked when he had questions. He never took her boundaries to heart.
