Li Yuan said matter-of-factly, "I'm not going today. I'm giving you the day off, so take a good stroll around campus."
"Mm, got it," Xia Zhijin shyly asked, "Then… do you want me to accompany you?"
A jolt went through Li Yuan's heart; he felt like his doom was imminent. Had this pure, precious girl learned to keep tabs on him now that they were officially a couple? Humph, it must have been those sly advisers in her dorm teaching her. Dating a top student is such a hassle. They're too smart, not at all the type to get dizzy with love, and now they've corrupted my sweet, innocent Zhijin.
"Well, my dear Zhijin, you don't need to accompany me today. I have some other things to do. I'll come find you when I get back."
Xia Zhijin obediently answered, "Mm, I know. You go handle your business. I can manage on my own."
Li Yuan suddenly felt a pang in his heart, wishing he could slap himself for being such a scumbag.
