Chapter 12: Literature Proficiency

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Why did you take a photo of me?!

Liu Shishi forgot to thank him and was about to question him, but Li An had already said the reason.

She had received many praises since she was young, but at this moment, she was still inexplicably shy. “No, no, delete it!”

“How beautiful. I’ll send it to you. Delete your own copy.” Li An looked at the photo in his phone and sent it to Liu Shishi without looking up.

His photography technique was completely lacking, but probably because the person was too beautiful, the entire photo was like a work of art.

Liu Shishi also saw her photo and heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not ugly.

“That won’t do. How can you take my photo without my approval?” Liu Shishi tried to reason with Li An.

“Then I’ll buy your approval and treat you to a movie after dinner. Is that fine?” Li An put away his phone and moved a stool to sit beside her.

Liu Shixiu frowned. Did something seem to be wrong?

“No way, no way. We’re all classmates. Isn’t a movie enough? You still want to extort me?” Li An said sarcastically.

Liu Shishi was immediately so angry that she wanted to hit someone. She clenched her fists and said, “Who wants you to treat me to a movie?!”

“Alright, since you don’t want it, that’s it.” Li An raised the disposable cup for her without any explanation.

Liu Shishi glared at him. She did not want to dwell on this topic anymore, or she would be angered to death.

The lemonade was slightly sour. After taking a sip, Liu Shishi felt a little hungry. She looked at the number plate, but she was disappointed because the number call did not change.

“Gulp…” Liu Shishi heard her stomach growl and her face immediately heated up. She looked at the oblivious Li An as if he did not hear her and heaved a sigh of relief.

Li An looked at the number plate and said nothing.

“A55, New Nam Kee invites you to eat!”

At this moment, the call machine sounded. The queue had finally moved.

A couple stood up from their seats and prepared to enter. At this moment, Li An stood up and took a step forward. “Handsome man, beautiful woman!”

Seeing the two of them turn around, Li An took out his phone and number plate as he whispered, “I’ll change my number with you for a hundred dollars. Do you want to exchange?”

The two of them were stunned. The boy looked at his girlfriend hesitantly and saw her quickly nod. “Change, change!”

What happened next was simple. He scanned the code and transferred the money, then waved at Liu Shishi who was sitting on a stool.

Liu Shishi walked over in confusion. “What’s wrong? It’s not us yet?”

“It’s us. Let’s go.” Li An took the opportunity to hold her hand and bring her to the dining room.

The small one was soft in his hand and Li An’s heart shook.

At this moment, Liu Shishi reacted and cowered. She pulled her hand away and tried to glare at Li An again. However, the latter was focused on following the waiter and had no intention of paying attention to her, causing her expression to be in vain.

“Can the two of you sit here?” The waiter pointed at a four-person seat against the wall and asked.

Li An nodded and sat in the aisle. Liu Shishi pouted and sat opposite him.

“I’m sorry, I was in a hurry and did not consider so much.” Li An apologized without any regret.

Liu Shishi gritted her teeth. She knew that Li An had done it on purpose, but he had already apologized. Could it be that she had to pursue him?

“Why is it our turn? Did you exchange with them?” Liu Shishi could only skip this topic and ask.

“Yes, they’re quite enthusiastic. I said that I was hungry, and then they enthusiastically exchanged with me.” Li An nodded.

Liu Shishi glanced at him suspiciously. She had clearly seen him take out his phone just now. Could he have spent money to buy it?

However…

Did he hear her stomach growl?

“Hurry up and order whatever you want. I’m starving.” Li An interrupted her thoughts and handed the menu over.

Liu Shishi took the menu and held a pencil. She looked at it, then looked up and asked, “Do you want to eat the cheese toast?”

“Yes.” Li An nodded.

“What about the Ice Fire Pineapple Bun?” Liu Shishi hooked it and asked again.

“I eat it too. I’m not picky.” Li An continued to nod.

“Yes, order it then. See what you want to eat.” Liu Shishi handed the menu back.

Li An wanted to be polite, but in the end, he did not speak. He took the menu and added three more dishes before calling the waiter over to confirm.

Liu Shishi poured a cup of water for Li An and moved to him.

“Thanks.” Li An picked up his cup.

“It’s fine…” Liu Shishi was stunned. She looked at Li An speechlessly and poured herself a cup of water.

The two of them were silent for a moment. Before the dishes were served, Liu Shishi felt that she could begin to get to the point. She cleared her throat and said, “Li An, I think we should do something meaningful in our university life. What do you think?”

Li An did not understand, but he still nodded.

Was love meaningful?

It should count, right?

Liu Shishi also nodded slowly. She looked at the knife and fork on the table and continued, “Then, I think we should spend our limited time studying. What do you think?”

Li An realized that this was probably a tactful rejection.

In short, ‘I want to study well in university and not fall in love.’

Li An nodded. “You’re right, I completely agree! What you mean is that life has a limit but knowledge is limitless!”

Liu Shishi’s eyes flickered with confusion as she looked up at Li An. Then, she indeed heard a twist.

“However,” Li An took a sip of water and said, “there’s still one more line. A person cannot gain endless knowledge, so enjoy life while you can!”

He had seen this from a joke in the past. It meant that he had to be stupid to use his limited time to pursue endless knowledge, right?

However, Li An did not expect that Liu Shishi’s eyes would flash with a clear luster. She smiled lightly and said, “However, Confucius wants us to learn to distinguish knowledge, not deny learning!”

Li An looked at the smiling Liu Shishi in front of him and suddenly felt that she seemed to have become more active.

However, this had already refuted Li An. How could he know that there was such a thing?

What a joke!

Li An looked down at the menu left behind by the waiter and tried to hide his embarrassment. Then, his eyes widened.

This was because such a sentence had appeared on the paper at some point.
