What should have been a ten-minute walk felt endlessly long to Shen Yuan.
Unlike Li Zhi, Shen Yuan was actually treating this walk home from school as a "date."
'Fuck! Why does thinking of it that way make me sound so pathetic?'
Shen Yuan frowned, feeling like he was acting a bit like a simp.
Simps were even lower than dogs, and that was not a path he wanted to take.
Shen Yuan strode forward to catch up with Li Zhi.
"Hey, are you really mad?" Shen Yuan jogged a couple of steps to walk beside Li Zhi, tilting his head to look at her tense profile.
"Your schoolbag is with me right now. I have a hostage."
Li Zhi stopped in her tracks and spun around to snatch the bag. "Give it back!"
Shen Yuan dodged out of the way of her hand and quickly said, "Just kidding, just kidding."
Young Master Li shot him a fierce glare.
The girl immediately quickened her pace toward the neighborhood gate, with Shen Yuan following closely behind, carrying both their schoolbags.
