Originally, Xu Li wanted to help pay for it. After all, it was because of her that Lu Peian was injured, but Lu Peian did not agree. The female doctor looked at the two of them with an ambiguous gaze and teased, "That's true. How can we let a girl pay?"
Xu Li felt a little awkward, but seeing that Lu Peian had no reaction, she did not say anything.
Lu Peian's right hand was injured. After leaving the infirmary, Xu Li suddenly remembered something very important. "What about your test papers?"
Lu Peian glanced at her, and Xu Li suddenly felt bad. She thought for a moment and suggested, "Do you want me to help you write them?" Afraid that he would feel embarrassed, Xu Li added, "Just take it as repayment for copying your homework."
Lu Peian nodded. "Alright, I'll give you the test papers later."
They were delayed for quite some time. When they returned to the field one after another, Meng Qingqing, who was paralyzed on the ground, jumped up. "Xu Li, why are you only back now? I'm dying of thirst…" After saying that, she realized that something was wrong. "Where's my water?"
"Huh?" Xu Li looked at the bottle of water in her hand that she had taken a sip of. It took her a while to realize that she had iced Meng Qingqing's bottle of water for Lu Peian.
Xu Li smiled awkwardly. "Why don't you drink my bottle?"
"Xu Li! It's fine that you were gone for so long, but you even forgot to bring me water!" Meng Qingqing felt even more wronged. Xu Li was still thinking about how to fool her when Lu Peian suddenly walked over and handed her the water. "I forgot to return the water to you."
Xu Li quickly took the water and stuffed it into Meng Qingqing's hands. "I didn't forget, I didn't forget. Isn't it here?"
Meng Qingqing looked at the water in her hand and then at Lu Peian, who had already turned around and left. Her expression changed and she grabbed Xu Li's arm. "Tell me, are you hiding something from me? You and Lu Peian…"
Meng Qingqing was just teasing her, but when she saw Xu Li coughing unnaturally, she became even more serious. "Xu Li, is it really what I think it is?!"
Xu Li sat down next to Meng Qingqing and nudged her on the head. "What do you mean?" She unscrewed the bottle of water and took a sip. She turned around and met Meng Qingqing's bright eyes.
"Xu Li, tell me the truth!" Meng Qingqing grabbed Xu Li's neck and pretended to be fierce. "Are you interested in Lu Peian?!"
Xu Li did not say anything. Meng Qingqing began to use her ultimate move to tickle Xu Li. "Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, don't blame me for being rude!"
Xu Li was ticklish. Meng Qingqing had discovered this when she was playing with Xu Li when she was young. At that time, they were fooling around. Meng Qingqing accidentally touched Xu Li's waist and was kicked away.
Meng Qingqing was the kind of person who was not afraid of death and loved to court death. If Xu Li had not grown up and could control her reaction, she would have been kicked to death 800 times!
"Are you going to tell me or not?" Meng Qingqing continued to tickle Xu Li.
Xu Li said, "Hahaha, Meng Qingqing! Do you really want to die?"
The commotion between the two of them was quite loud. Everyone's eyes were on them. Xu Li could not help but want to laugh, but she also felt embarrassed. In the end, she could only give in. "I'll talk, I'll talk. Hurry up and let go."
Only then did Meng Qingqing stop. She pulled Xu Li up and squatted in front of her. "Alright, then tell me."
Xu Li wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and flicked Meng Qingqing's forehead. "You're really bold. Am I too good to you, huh?"
Not long after, Meng Qingqing pressed Xu Li down and tickled her again. This time, Xu Li was completely honest. "Okay, I'll tell you. Stop tickling me. I give up…"
Under Meng Qingqing's questioning gaze, Xu Li touched her nose and said, "I think… I do like him a little."
Meng Qingqing frowned, dissatisfied with Xu Li's ambiguous answer. "What do you mean by 'you think'? Xu Li, when did you become so slow-witted?"
Xu Li crossed her legs and rubbed her stomach. She tried to organize her words. "It's just that… Lu Peian fits my aesthetic standards quite well. But do I like him? I don't think so. At most, I have a good impression of him."
"Then you're really troublesome. If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. There aren't so many twists and turns." Meng Qingqing pursed her lips and lost the desire to investigate this matter.
Xu Li pinched Meng Qingqing's face and said, "Don't be so full of yourself. You might apply it to yourself one day."
