After the waitress delivered the snacks and drinks, she left with a very shy and gossiping expression on her face.
It seemed like she would definitely share this with the other staff.
Shen Lang didn't mind much since he didn't frequent this net cafe often.
Showing off affection between couples was normal, and the young girl probably wouldn't make a big deal out of this accidental situation.
"See? It's all your fault. I told you there were cameras, and you still acted like that."
Shen Lang joked, pushing the blame onto Li Liusi.
"Now look, you've ruined my reputation. The staff might not even let me come here to surf the net anymore."
Li Liusi, embarrassed and resentful, glanced at Shen Lang while fixing her wrinkled shirt collar. She didn't want to argue about something so shameless and just quietly accepted the blame.
"How about we go to a hotel?"
Shen Lang asked with an innocent smile, clearly hinting at something.
Even though Li Liusi was quite naive, she understood what going to a hotel implied.
She was surprised by Shen Lang's directness, her mouth agape and unable to find words. Then, she shyly averted her gaze from Shen Lang, her fingers nervously twined together, her lips tightly pressed, clearly conflicted.
Li Liusi was naturally a passive person.
Her hesitation and non-refusal made her answer obvious.
Shen Lang could tell there was a chance. If he left now, he could easily take this innocent girl to a hotel.
"Want me to get you a computer?"
Shen Lang stopped teasing her.
After some thought, Li Liusi firmly pressed her lips together and whispered, "I didn't bring my ID. Can we go home first?"
"It's okay, I have an app for online access."
Shen Lang answered vaguely, "As long as you can recite your ID number, we can get a temporary computer."
Li Liusi was stunned for a moment and then realized from Shen Lang's amused expression that she had been tricked.
"You're really annoying…"
Li Liusi turned away, leaving Shen Lang with a view of her flushed neck and graceful curves.
"Wow, did you really mess up my invitation?"
Shen Lang teased with a laugh, "When I used to invite friends to stay up all night online, they practically wanted to beat me up."
Shen Lang had been eager for Li Liusi for a while.
The main reason he agreed to be with her was, put nicely, love at first sight; put plainly, it was just physical attraction.
At this point, Shen Lang wasn't planning to do anything with Li Liusi just yet.
He wanted to wait until their complicated relationship was completely stable before fully exploring Li Liusi's inherent charm.
"Yeah, definitely a guilty pleasure."
Shen Lang sighed, looking at the computer and rubbing his fingers, still feeling the allure of her softness.
...
For the rest of the time, Shen Lang was busy typing away.
Li Liusi sat quietly with her headphones on, like a good girl, keeping her hands on her lap while watching a movie.
She occasionally glanced at Shen Lang and then became absorbed in the words he was typing.
Li Liusi paused the movie and softly complimented, "Your writing is really good."
This wasn't just flattery. Li Liusi was good with words, and she could immediately tell the strength and immersion in Shen Lang's writing.
What surprised her more was Shen Lang's typing speed. His fingers flew over the keyboard so fast, it was almost a blur.
"Learn from this, little sister."
Shen Lang smugly hummed and then opened his mouth for a piece of chip.
Li Liusi understood and popped a handful of chips into Shen Lang's mouth.
As Shen Lang chewed happily, he playfully nudged Li Liusi's delicate fingers with his tongue.
Li Liusi's face turned slightly red. Seeing Shen Lang so excited about the snacks, she smiled in satisfaction and kept feeding him snacks while Shen Lang continued to tease her.
Such affectionate behavior might seem irrational or even disgusting to outsiders.
But for a couple in love, it was perfectly normal.
It's like a couple finding warmth in things that others might find trivial.
"Finally finished."
After completing his work, Shen Lang eagerly asked, "Want to play some games?"
"Ah.. what?"
Li Liusi's face turned so red she might as well have been bleeding. She instinctively took a step back, "Here?"
"What else? Did you think I brought you to the net cafe just to type?"
Shen Lang didn't realize what she was thinking and started brushing off the crumbs from his clothes.
Seeing Li Liusi's reaction, Shen Lang thought she didn't like playing games and casually said, "If you don't want to, that's fine. I'll play by myself. You can keep watching the movie."
Li Liusi looked at Shen Lang's pants, then at his calm eyes, and nervously suggested, "There are cameras here. Can we go to a hotel?"
Even though Li Liusi liked Shen Lang and was willing to engage in some ambiguous behavior, she wasn't comfortable doing so under surveillance.
"What are you talking about?"
Shen Lang tilted his head in confusion, then realized she misunderstood him.
"Damn, I meant the game!"
Shen Lang sat back down, opened the "Chicken Dinner" game, and explained with a mix of frustration and amusement.
"I'm talking about this game. Its nickname is 'Chicken Dinner.' What were you thinking?"
Li Liusi stared at the game character on the screen, stunned for a long time.
Then, she triggered a skill, stared at the wall, and silently looked out the window, leaving Shen Lang with a view of her flushed neck.
"I'm really done for."
Shen Lang was both amused and secretly annoyed.
He couldn't believe that someone as innocent as Li Liusi knew the real meaning behind the game "Chicken Dinner"!
The era of widespread information was indeed a double-edged sword.
While it created some overly eager fans, it also broadened the knowledge and skills of kind-hearted people.
Shen Lang adjusted his aim without showing it and thought, "Well, it looks like this naive girl will have some fun after all."
