321 The Familiar Figure

Guan Lei knew that he was late, but this was the first time he’d cared so much about a girl. He didn’t want to give her up to someone else, and he didn’t want it to end before they even started.

It was fine to say that he was selfish, but he just wanted to spend more time with Shen Xi so that she would have a higher chance of falling for him.

This way, even if Shen Xi were to meet Meng Yu in the future, she would not give up on him so easily, right? He just needed a little more time.

“What time?” After a long while, Shen Xi put down her hand and asked.

“Give me some time to woo you.” Guan Lei’s eyes were filled with anticipation as he looked at Shen Xi.

Shen Xi’s eyes dodged slightly, not knowing how to answer. After a long while, she finally said, “Since I’ve promised you, I won’t go back on my word.”

Yes, she had promised Guan Lei that she would try to like him. She was not the kind of person who would talk nonsense.

Only then did Guan Lei’s tense mood relax.

“Hurry up and put on your shoes. Class is starting soon.” Guan Lei glanced at Shen Xi’s feet.

Only then did Shen Xi notice that she had run in her slippers. She nodded awkwardly and turned around.

“Wait a moment.” Guan Lei called out to Shen Xi.

Shen Xi turned to look at Guan Lei. “What’s wrong?”

“Close your eyes,” said Guan Lei with a smile.

Shen Xi did not know what was going on, but she still obediently closed her eyes.

Guan Lei took out a necklace from his pocket, walked behind Shen Xi, and wore the necklace around her neck.

The coldness of the necklace made Shen Xi’s heart skip a beat, and she opened her eyes abruptly.
