"Pineapple bread? Or toast bread?" I stood beside the shelves, looking at the packaging bags with "Toast" and "Pineapple" written on them. Of course, there were also other options, like French bread. I thought the latter, which looked like a stick, would be better for hitting someone.

"So..." I hesitated, but I had to make a choice between the two. Considering that I might be eating bread for lunch, I had to save some money.

"Choose the pineapple bread... Yu Gege," someone suddenly spoke next to me, startling me. I turned around to look at the person. "Ah~ An Lisi."

"Yu Gege," An Lisi smiled brightly. I ignored her and calmly picked the toast bread.

"Why doesn't Yu Gege eat the pineapple bread?" An Lisi looked puzzled.

"Because toast bread is delicious," I replied nonchalantly.

"I think pineapple bread is tasty," An Lisi said with a hint of regret. I had already opened the packaging and started chewing on the bread while she stared at me, making me feel embarrassed to eat.

Unable to bear it, I took a pineapple bread from the shelf.

"Yu Gege, do you finally believe what I said is true?" An Lisi's face lit up with joy.

I handed her the pineapple bread. "Just eat it obediently."

"Huh?"

"You probably haven't had lunch yet, right? If you don't mind, just have a bread to fill your stomach."

An Lisi held the bread in her arms, seemingly lost in thought.

"What's wrong? Do you want ramen or bento? I can't provide that, though."

"No... it's not that," An Lisi shook her head.

"Then what is it?" I asked with confusion.

"Because Yu Gege has to pay again," An Lisi said, looking embarrassed.

"It's fine. I can only treat you with these for now. Just eat without any worries," I walked to the cashier to pay for the bread, then prepared to leave the store. An Lisi followed after me.

We sat under a large tree. It was the same spot where An Lisi and I had sat before. The gentle breeze rustled the leaves, and the scorching sun was blocked by the tree, making it a very cool place.

While chewing on the bread, I asked about An Lisi's work from the previous day, "Was work smooth?"

"Can I sit next to Yu Gege?"

"Hmm?"

"In that case, I'll sit without hesitation," An Lisi said as she sat down and leaned against me.

"Hey, I haven't agreed yet."

"Yu Gege has a nice smell."

"Don't sniff me like a dog," I grabbed An Lisi's shoulder to create some distance between us. She stopped and stared at me, but her expression turned gloomy.

I sighed, "It's just that it's hot."

"Yu Gege really can't stand heat," An Lisi said, instantly changing her expression to a happy one and leaning closer again.

"Don't get too close; it's really hot."

"It smells good, it smells good," An Lisi's flirtatious behavior had reached its ultimate form.

"Enough!" I stuffed the remaining half of my bread into her mouth.

"Mmm..." she made a muffled sound when her mouth was blocked, then she stared at me with a dazed expression.

"What's wrong?" Did my action cause her to suffocate?

An Lisi didn't react much; she merely swallowed the bread in one gulp. Then, she sat down with her knees hugged to her chest, burying her head into her knees. I felt like there was smoke coming out of her head. What was going on? I couldn't figure it out. Could she have gotten heatstroke? But it wasn't hot here either.

"If you have heatstroke, go to the infirmary."

"Um..." she made a sound that was embarrassing to herself.

What happened to her?

"Indirectly kissing Yu gege is an amazing experience, although it cannot compare to a direct kiss on the lips. It's blissful."

Then, she suddenly held her own face and immersed herself in some kind of sweetness. An Lisi always liked to do things that were incomprehensible to others.

She held her own face and muttered to herself. Is she really a nympho?

Does she hide some terrifying attributes under her calm appearance? While I was thinking about these meaningless things, An Lisi kept staring at me, and our eyes met~

Speaking of which, she has been staring at me with a look of a child looking at a rare toy. Hey! She has been staring!

Snap, An Lisi seemed to be so engrossed that she couldn't extricate herself, so I mercilessly gave her a chop on the head.

"Ouch...that hurts," An Lisi protected her head with her hand and made a cute whimper.

"Why did you hit me again?" An Lisi said tearfully and aggrievedly.

"It's just a little lesson for someone who always secretly watches others."

"A really serious lesson," An Lisi complained and rubbed her head.

The next moment, she still didn't seem to learn her lesson and looked at me with that kind of gaze again.

"Hey, there's no gold on my face."

"I don't know about gold."

"I don't have food on my face either."

"I'm not hungry at all."

"So what does it mean?" I couldn't help but shout, and An Lisi seemed startled, her body jerked backwards.

Seeing her like this, I restrained myself and suppressed my so-called anger.

"Just staring at me like this is a waste of time, An Lisi. Don't you have anything else to do?"

"No, I just like looking at Yu gege's face. Even if I look at it all day, I won't get tired."

I would feel annoyed and embarrassed if someone doesn't get tired of me.

"What's so nice to look at? I'm not handsome," I muttered.

"In my eyes, Yu gege is the most handsome."

"Even if you praise me like this, I won't be happy." I've been called an idiot and scum, after all.

I turned my face to the side, intending to escape An Lisi's constant gaze.

"Please don't turn your head to the side without permission," An Lisi smiled and turned my face back towards her. From An Lisi's face, which was immersed in love, I felt that love may have changed her a lot, thanks to this I saved her, and thanks to this I'm now helpless.

"From just now until now, Yu gege has had a bitter face. What's wrong? Are you unhappy with me?" An Lisi showed a fearful expression as if she was afraid of hearing this answer.

"Well... no," I answered insincerely. In fact, I had a fight with Su Yuqian and felt like an empty shell right now, but she's just being unreasonable. I feel angry inexplicably when I think about it. Ah, I don't care about her anymore.

"I am very happy with Yu gege, so I also hope you can be happy," An Lisi said happily.

"In fact, it is my greatest wish for An Lisi to live so happily."

"Really? Really? Yu gege is really considering me," An Lisi immersed herself in a shy state again.

I stood up and prepared to go back to the classroom.

"Brother You, are you going back to the classroom?"

"The classroom might be more comfortable. Besides, taking a nap during lunch break might help me stay energized in the afternoon. Although I'm just making an excuse, I might end up dozing off during the afternoon classes."

"I see." An Lisi looked disappointed.

"Don't you take a nap at noon, An Lisi?"

"I'd rather be with you than sleep."

"I'm going back to the classroom." I waved my hand, preparing to return.

"Hey! Brother You." I intended to ignore her and head straight to the classroom. If this continued, it would be hard to explain myself. I'm not actually dating An Lisi; I only said those things because I wanted to help her. Though I can't speak the truth now, I would if the right opportunity presents itself.

As I took a few steps, An Lisi held onto my clothes, forcing me to stop.

"Is there something else?" I turned around and asked.

"Um... Brother You, after school, I'm going to work at the coffee shop. Can you accompany me?"

"Don't you know the way?"

"It's not that." An Lisi shook her head.

"Then why do you need me to go with you?" I asked, confused.

"Because... " An Lisi hesitated.

"Because of what?"

"Because I feel unsafe. I feel uneasy doing anything without you, Brother You." She tightly held her chest, her expression filled with fear.

"But I have something to do after school, so I'm afraid I can't accompany you." I made an excuse. In reality, I just didn't want to go. I wasn't in the mood. I just wanted to go home after school.

"Can't you decline?"

"I can't decline. It's an important matter, so I'm sorry." Even if An Lisi had an uneasy expression, it wouldn't change my mind.

"... " An Lisi fell silent, standing there blankly. I looked at the pineapple bun she still held in her hand.

"Make sure to eat the pineapple bun properly and don't waste it. Good luck with your work." After saying this, I left An Lisi and returned to my own classroom.

Is she okay with that expression just now? She should be, right? With some concern, I returned to my seat. With a little time left, I decided to take a nap. After the nap time, the lessons in the afternoon began as scheduled. Su Yuqian still hadn't shown up in the classroom. Where did she go? She was the one who started the fight, I didn't do anything to her. I just yelled at her, and now she hasn't come to class the whole day.

Occasionally, I would think about these annoying things. I advised myself not to think about it because, as she said, I'm just a toy, a speck of dust in her eyes. After being told that, what reason do I have to keep considering her? Moreover, it really makes me angry.

Finally, it was time to go home. The classmates in the classroom gradually left.

"Let's go home." I muttered, picking up my school bag. At that moment, Yuan Muxi approached me.

She had the same expression as at noon, a concerned expression.

"Youjie, are you ready to go back?"

"Yes."

"Can I bother you for a moment?"

"What is it? If it's about Su Yuqian, I think it's better to ask her directly," I became sensitive to this matter.

"Did you have an argument with Yuqian, Youjie?"

"No."

"Youjie's tone doesn't sound like it, normally Yuqian wouldn't directly call out the full name."

I accidentally revealed it.

"I'll take my leave." To prevent Yuan Muxi from continuing to ask, I chose to leave the classroom. I haven't done anything wrong but I left in a hurry. I kept walking without stopping, rushing home. The harmonious relationship that existed before this situation no longer exists, it's really annoying!
