In the gym snack street, the pedestrian road in the back is wider, and several stalls at the end of the alley have tables, chairs and benches placed under the awnings.

Gu Lingyi was sitting at the table of a small barbecue stall. In front of her was the fragrant squid grilled on the iron plate. She was putting it into her mouth angrily.

Lu Man, who was sitting opposite, crossed his arms in front of his chest and put them on the table, looking at Gu Lingyi's eating posture.

This girl was always puffy, her cheeks were bulging, and the way she was eating made him look like a hamster collecting food.

My wife is so cute.

Lu Man thought to himself without any shame.

After destroying a bunch of squid tentacles, Gu Lingyi glanced in his direction, with the expression "I'm not happy, don't pay attention to me" written all over her face and eyes.

However, Lu Man simply replaced "ignore her" with "quickly coax her".

"Why are you looking at me so angry?"

Lu Man said innocently, as if it was none of his business, as if he really didn't know the reason for Gu Lingyi's shyness and anger.

"Who made my classmate Ling Yi angry?"

Gu Lingyi bit off a piece of squid tentacle as if to relieve her anger.

Her shiny ears are still red.

Holding the squid tentacles in her hand, Gu Lingyi pointed at Lu Man with a serious face.

"Oh, it turns out it's me." Lu Man pretended to suddenly realize, "Then it's okay."

This guy's talkative skills have skyrocketed for some reason. Gu Lingyi gave him a look.

More than just soaring, in her opinion, rapid progress is not enough to describe the arrogance of Lu Man.

It should be called a pig leaping forward.

After eating for a while, Gu Lingyi suddenly became confused.

It seemed like I heard him say "my Lingyi" just now?

Forgot to refute the "my family" he said.

When did you become his family?

Is it too late to refute now...?

It will only add to this pervert’s pride...

So angry.

Gu Lingyi felt that she was really useless, even if she quarreled, she couldn't do it well, and even after the quarrel, she regretted it.

"Brother, you have made great progress." Gu Lingyi felt ashamed and angry when she thought about it, and raised her voice.

"Oh?" Lu Man looked at her and then started praising him.

"I mean the thickness of your skin."

Gu Lingyi scolded him for being shameless and couldn't let his arrogance continue to grow.

"To quote what our history teacher often says to naughty students in class: Qin Shihuang's biggest loss was that he didn't ask you to lend him some face to build the Great Wall."

"At critical moments, boys should be thicker-skinned."

Lu Man didn't care. Gu Lingyi's little complaint was so ineffective that he thought it was just a form of flirting.

He raised his hand and pointed at his face: "The handsome man has gold on his face, and now is the time to cash it in."

"Pooh!"

Gu Lingyi really wanted to sigh.

Lu Man held his cheek, never getting tired of looking at his future wife's little face: "I've treated you to delicious food, but you still care about everything."

Gu Lingyi was immersed in destroying the squid skewers, but her eating speed stopped.

What, this bad guy is taking advantage of her, but it's hers instead?

"I can't be bribed with a delicious meal."

Gu Lingyi muttered: "Brother, you know how to bully me, you... oh~ stop making trouble."

It was Lu Man who stood under the table and kicked Gu Lingyi's shoes across from him.

"It's not a confession, I'm just telling you what I think in my heart." Lu Man looked serious.

Gu Lingyi looked at Lu Man's face, lowered her eyebrows, and did not dare to speak.

"I'm serious." Lu Man said seriously, "If you don't say it out loud, you won't be able to take the initiative to think about it yourself."

Two parties who like each other but don't know each other are most afraid of this situation - if they guess it by mistake and it means something else, it will be a fool's errand.

Two people hide their worries tightly. Sometimes one thinks that the other doesn't like them, and sometimes the other thinks that they are not good enough for the other. In the end, they miss each other and feel so stomach-ache.

It is very important for people who like each other to show their affection directly or indirectly.

It can be a tactful hint, or a straight shot disguised as a diagonal shot, to express your good feelings, but it does not need to immediately rise to the level of confessing together.

"I don't want to hear you say this..."

"You don't have to promise anything, I won't let you take responsibility for me right away."

"Bah!" Gu Lingyi couldn't help but spat.

Lu Man thought for a while. She was originally introverted, so it was better to give her some time to buffer and think.

He got up and left, going to the small barbecue stall.

A batch of octopus balls had just come out of the oven, as well as a whole large roasted cuttlefish with seeds. Lu Man bought one portion each.

Returning to the table, he pushed two new snacks in front of the girl's eyes.

Gu Lingyi quietly picked up the bamboo stick in the carton of small meatballs and started cooking in silence.

She tucked her hair behind her ear with one hand, and held a bamboo stick in the other hand, stringing up a small octopus meatball, looking longingly at the steam steaming from the meatball.

He breathed out from his pink mouth, and the white hot air blew away.

"Brother, you are really just like Hanhan."

After swallowing a small pill, Gu Lingyi complained to Lu Man.

This pervert is really a good dog.

"As long as you remember what I said, we can continue as usual. Anyway, whatever I say or do, if you don't refuse, I will acquiesce that it is okay."

"But as long as you make it clear that you disagree, I certainly won't cross the line."

Gu Lingyi said in her heart that it would be strange to believe him.

He doesn't cross the line, but he can take advantage of himself in various angles and in tricky ways.

"Or when you think about it clearly, this matter is absolutely impossible in the end. You will never consider me. No matter what I do, no matter what hope I have, no matter who I admire, there is no way to convey it. It is just wishful thinking..."

"You can make it clear to me at any time and thoroughly."

The meatball on the bamboo stick in his hand trembled and almost rolled down.

Gu Lingyi had a pair of smart almond eyes, with a look of panic and dodge.

She wanted to shake her head, she would not hurt Lu Man like this, and besides, she...

Lu Man looked at her quietly.

He knew that Gu Lingyi had a good impression of him.

"You have never thought about it. My sister goes out to play with her best friends every recess. Why do I always sit in my seat so that you can meet me every time?"

But now I have more good feelings and less determination.

She was introverted and shy, and had a lot of worries. Before his rebirth, the elm-headed Lu Man didn't know that this girl had always had a crush on him until Gu Lingyi took the initiative to admit it in person a few years after graduating from college.

At present, it is too unrealistic to ask Gu Lingyi to respond immediately to the showy girl.

But similarly, she couldn't do anything to reject it immediately and outright.

Therefore, the specific situation should be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Lu Man dared to play this way, because the relationship with her, who is a naughty woman, is suitable for getting along with each other in a long-term and smooth way. Being ambiguous by default is half the victory.

There will be a long time to be with her after that. As long as she is not rejected, the original goodwill will only grow day by day, slowly develop into like, and finally be upgraded to love.

After a while, Gu Lingyi breathed out as if she had made up her mind.

Pushing the octopus balls to Lu Man, she raised her eyes and looked at Lu Man.

"Don't just eat it for me, why don't you try it too?"

Lu Man smiled and felt relieved.

Changing the topic but not refusing was her first step.

"That's your acquiescence to my proposal."
