Chapter 90: Ah, Paparazzi!

  This shouldn't be a refusal, and thanks to having Guo Jing as a deskmate, he also slightly understood some ways girls reject boys. From Han Dan's answer, Li Xiaobai easily got the answer.

  The school's boiler room is not far from the cafeteria, and after going downstairs, the two of them walked towards the boiler room together.

  A person walking on the road, no matter how long the journey is, someone who has gotten used to it doesn't find it unbearable.

  When two people talk and laugh together, they will feel that the distance is very close.

  However, even if two people who still know each other a bit don't speak, just a few minutes can feel like an eternity.

  No way, I have to find a topic to ease up the atmosphere. Just as I was wracking my brains, Han Dan spoke up first.

  "Li Xiaobai, may I ask, how did you know my phone number?"

  "Ah... " Li Xiaobai couldn't bear to mention Zhao Liang, so he said, "The duty roster on the wall of your activity room."

  Han Dan nodded and then fell silent.

  The atmosphere seems to be dominated by Han Dan, feeling depressed. But it can't be said that way, Li Xiaobai can sense that the other party is not a person like Guo Jing who is crazy about her, she should be the type of person who doesn't talk much to people she's not familiar with. It's just that even if they are relatively familiar friends, she's not the type of person who talks a lot either. There are girls like this in class, or rather, if you had to choose one, compared to girls like Guo Jing who are very popular, he actually prefers Han Dan more.

  "I'll go get water first. If you think there are too many people inside, we can wait outside." Han Dan said as they arrived at the hot water room and saw the crowd of people lining up to swipe their cards.

  Li Xiaobai shook his head, it's so cold outside, how could he possibly wait outside like an idiot. Besides, just like restaurants sometimes need to line up to buy food, the entrance of the boiler room looks crowded, but the interior with many faucets is not crowded at all.

  "Isn't that Li Xiaobai?"

  As I stood in line with Han Dan on one side, a girl's voice came from behind them.

  It should be him with this name, when he heard someone calling his own name, Li Xiaobai turned around to take a look, and saw that Hu Wei and Yuan Yuan from the same class were also fetching water.

  Why is it so unlucky? Even when fetching water, I run into acquaintances.

  It's true that the probability of running into acquaintances while fetching water is still quite high, because there's only one boiler room in the entire school.

  Let him help, let him help, Yuan Garden pushed Hu Wei and directly carried his own thermos over.

  Hou Wei didn't want to fall behind either and followed closely after.

  Actually, it's just a matter of a few positions, and the time won't be delayed by more than a minute, but girls, sometimes they will be happy to take advantage of this little convenience.

  Looking at the two girls bringing over the thermos, Li Xiaobai was speechless. He was standing in front, but not in line, and they rushed over so hastily, wasn't that a bit too simplistic?

  "Li Xiaobai, help out."

  While speaking, Yuan Garden also looked at the girl next to Li Xiaobai, and then looked back and forth between the two with some astonishment, this gaze was similar to that of Han Dan's classmate earlier.

  This is not the time for explanations, Li Xiaobai directly asked Han Dan for help. Fortunately, Han Dan carrying three empty thermoses was no problem. After swiping her card, they finally entered the water room. Naturally, the three girls stood together, with Li Xiaobai standing behind them doing nothing in particular.

  "Are you Han Dan?" Yuan asked Han Dan while pouring water.

  "Hmm." Han Dan nodded and responded.

  "You... are you at... that..." As expected of Guo Jing's good friend, Yuan Zhen's gossip factor burst out.

  "Yuan Garden, the water is full..."

  Li Xiaobai was angry and frustrated, thinking that love at first sight might exist, but it's impossible for someone to confess their feelings right away.

  You're really something, prying into such private matters of a girl you only know by name, paparazzi!

  Yuan's water wasn't full yet, but Han Dan had already filled hers up. Li Xiaobai thought of leaving with her first, but Yuan shouted "wait a minute" from behind. Having stayed in the Elegant Ladies' Society for a week, they might not be considered friends, but their relationship was still closer than with other classmates in the class. Li Xiaobai really didn't want to leave.

  After hesitating for a few seconds, Yuan and his companion also turned off the faucet.

  Let's go together then.

  Out of the water room, Han Dan walked on Li Xiaobai's right side, Yuan Garden walked on his left side, and Hu Wei walked in the farthest left position.

  What's wrong, seeing Yuan Garden staring at himself from time to time, Li Xiaobai felt a bit of a headache.

  "You're a big boy, but you let someone else carry your thermos, that's very unqualified." Yuan Yuan said disdainfully.

  Is it?

  When they went shopping together before, although he was holding the things, but it was actually his cousin who forced them into his hands. Li Xiaobai, who had no experience in this regard, naturally didn't think of this point. But even if he thought of this point, Li Xiaobai wouldn't be good at doing so.

  Why don't I go back and tell Zhao Liang about these experiences? In that case, he should be able to make a good impression on Han Dan.

  "No need, we're almost at the restaurant, I can carry it myself."

  As Han Dan said this, she handed the thermos over to her right hand, thus increasing the distance from Li Xiaobai once again.

  "Haha, looks like you don't stand a chance." Yuan Garden said with a hint of amusement, gazing at Li Xiaobai after noticing his opponent's movements.

  Are you female Belly? The crow's mouth is very annoying, don't you know that?

  When they arrived at the third-floor restaurant, Li Xiaobai thought that Yuan and his friend would sit separately from them, but it seemed like they didn't have that intention. Geez, since you know I'm pursuing someone, why come and be a light bulb? One came, still two lamps with not low brightness.

  "Why don't we eat together?" Li Xiaobai was about to glare at the two girls with his eyes when Han Dan spoke up, "You helped me yesterday and I haven't thanked you alone yet. Let me treat today."

  As she spoke, Han Dan walked towards the canteen window to get her meal.

  I already treated you yesterday, why are you asking me to treat you again today?

  "You two go find a seat first, I'll go help." Li Xiaobai followed closely behind the two people who were dismissed in an ill-tempered manner.

  "After all, they are both from our class, so I'll treat them," Li Xiaobai said as he walked up to Handan, "Besides, didn't you already treat us yesterday?"

  "Will you come find me again tomorrow?" Han Dan looked at Li Xiaobai with a questioning tone.

  Suddenly being asked by a girl like this, Li Xiaobai was confused, what's going on?

  At the same time as being dizzy, her cheeks also started burning up.

  Avoiding Han Dan's gaze, Li Xiaobai said in a low voice, "Tomorrow won't come, it should be the day after tomorrow, or the day after that."

  This was negotiated with Zhao Liang, on odd days Li Xiaobai would come to pursue, and on even days Zhao Liang would.

  Although Li Xiaobai thought the plan was stupid and too obvious, since Zhao Liang almost knelt down to him, Li Xiaobai agreed reluctantly. In fact, he also knew that Zhao Liang hoped he would tell him about Han Dan's preferences, so next time he would have an advantage over himself.

  But to be honest, Li Xiaobai may not have had any romantic experience, but he's no fool. From their brief interaction, he felt that Han Dan didn't seem to like this. There were two possibilities: one, Han Dan just wasn't ready for romance yet; or two, she simply didn't want to date him.

  "I get it," said Han Dan, "I'll treat you again the day after tomorrow. I'll keep inviting you until you don't come to find me."

  After finishing speaking, Han Dan wanted to swipe her card and pay for the dishes.

  Is this a new way of rejecting boys? If so, then Han Dan is too kind for always treating him to meals.

  Watching the other's beautiful back view, Li Xiaobai was somewhat speechless.

  At this point, even a fool should know that the other side is trying to make oneself give up.

  Forget it, just this week, after that, I'll just find an excuse to get rid of Zhao Liang.

  Helping others should be done within one's own capabilities, and at this time, going to provoke other people... If the other party is not a good person, then you can consider it for yourself, but Han Dan is not a bad person, so isn't the one who doesn't sincerely pursue her playing this role?

  Depressed, Zhao Liang's brain didn't get wet, but his own brain got wet when he agreed with him.

  Two people carried the dishes back, and Yuan Garden's two had already taken their seats. They didn't eat for free either, but ordered soup and rice. This small matter is not worth mentioning, the key is, why are Guo Jing and Zhou Xiaomin also here.

  "What are you looking at? We were just eating on the third floor," Guo said, giving Li a white eye, before turning to Han Dan, "No wonder you suddenly asked me how to pursue girls this afternoon, turns out you have a target now."

  Han Dan's face was slightly unnatural at this time.

  "Shut up," Li Xiaobai put down the dinner plate and took over the still awkward Handan's plate, putting it on the table, letting her sit down first before sitting down across from her. "I just happened to run into classmate Handan."

  "You've got to be kidding."

  Guo Jing directly replied with a sentence, not afraid of Li Xiaowei at all.

  At the dinner table, after several girls briefly introduced their names, they all intentionally or unintentionally steered the conversation towards the relationship between two people.

  No choice, in high school, apart from studying, boys and romance are also topics that girls often discuss. In this regard, discussing which girl is dating with which boy among boys is no different. Of course, these are the common parts, while others such as girls liking to go shopping and boys liking sports are areas of difference. One point needs to be clarified, since studying and romance are the intersection of both, they are destined to be the most discussed topics by both parties.

  At this time, Han Dan, who had been silent all along, kept staring at Li Xiaobai.

  Saying he came to explore the way for Zhao Liang, would Han Dan slap him?

  It shouldn't be, Han Dan is not a violent girl like Xia Xianer. But even so, Li Xiaobai can't speak directly.

  "In short, I have a good impression of Han Dan, but Han Dan has clearly rejected me. That's it."

  "Hmph, I told you so..."

  The girls who got the answer suddenly lost interest and started talking about other topics.
