Zhang Ren noticed that Shi Lian is looking at him. With a grin coming to his face, he extended his sandwich to her, shaking Shi Lian out of her thoughts as she took a small bite of it.
"If you want to have a taste, then you could've said so," he commented, making Shi Lian look straight into his eyes.
The moment they locked eyes, what Shi Lian said next made Zhang Ren feel surprised, not expecting the question she asked.
"Zhang Ren… do you really mean it—what you said a while ago?"
Zhang Ren didn't know how to answer her question. He knew that she was pertaining to what he told her back in the rooftop a while ago, making his lips turn into a tight line as he contemplated for a while.
His silence actually made Shi Lian feel quite nervous. With her taking another small bite of her baozi, she waited expectantly for him to answer, making Zhang Ren feel shy around her—something that's unusual to him.
