Xu Su said nothing as he took her wrist again. "You're still young, so it's normal that you haven't figured things out yet. If you don't like me, we can just keep being good classmates. But please, don't avoid me, okay?"
"..." Xu Su was at a loss for words. "You're only a year older than me."
'What does he mean, it's normal for *me* to be clueless?'
'So does that make *him* the abnormal one?'
"Being a year older is enough," Xi Zirong said with a smile. "Enough for me to know that I really like you."
"...Xi Zirong," Xu Su's mind was in turmoil. She said, a bit uncomfortably, "We're at an age where we're supposed to be focusing on our studies."
"Mm," Xi Zirong nodded. "I know."
'He just couldn't hold back; he wanted to make things official as soon as possible.'
'This time, he would watch over her, watch over her from the very beginning.'
Xu Su flushed. "We're students. We shouldn't be dating."
