Li Shi didn't expect her to suddenly bring up this topic. The last time he went on a trip, his main goal was to achieve mastery in sketching by doing more on-site sketching. Now that he had already mastered sketching, he wasn't particularly interested in travelling just for leisure.
He was about to refuse, but as he opened the input method, he hesitated.
He couldn't act ungratefully or forget the kindness shown to him, especially at this time.
It wouldn't be appropriate.
Even as friends, if someone's family was going through a massive change and they asked you to accompany them on a trip to unwind, you should go. Let alone...
As for her mention of bringing along Teacher Bai, Li Shi didn't think much of it. If he was really going, it wouldn't matter to have another person joining. She could tag along as well.
They were all adults anyway, it would just mean booking an extra room.
It wasn't the first time Ai Lan had secretly chatted with him late at night.
