Hearing his voice mixed with a hint of weariness, Lu Lili raised her head in surprise.
She saw a young man standing in front of her.
He was standing very close, his tall figure blocking her way.
Even though there were only the two of them in the corridor on this floor, Lu Lili was still uncertain in her heart. “Are you talking to me?”
The person who ignored her a few days ago was now taking the initiative to speak to her, which was really suspicious!
Lu Lili couldn’t help but suspect whether he had regained some memories!
[No, host.] System promptly denied.
“Okay.” Lu Lili replied to the system in her mind and refocused her attention on Shi Chao.
Although he still had the same face, his features seemed to have undergone some subtle changes according to his personality.
It was like a slight adjustment.
At this moment, he had no expression, had sharp eyebrows and narrow eyes, making him appear cold and unapproachable.
But it had to be said that he was indeed suited for fighting. Just by displaying this cold and unapproachable look, he could intimidate his opponents.
Of course, Lu Lili is not afraid of him.
She saw Shi Chao lowering his head, his gaze slightly dim.
He apologized again, “Um, I’m sorry for the other day. Can I take back what I said then?”
Lu Lili felt extremely surprised, “Hehe, can you explain why? You clearly coldly shut me out.”
“Cold?” Shi Chao raised his hand and touched his face in confusion.
He vividly remembered being happy when he saw her knocking on the door yesterday. How could he have been cold to her?
He tried to put on a smile but found his lips stiff, unable to curl up easily. He could only answer, “I’m not being cold, I just have a naturally expressionless face.”
Although the boy still appeared expressionless, Lu Lili unexpectedly sensed seriousness from him.
However, she didn’t expect him to say that. Isn’t an expressionless face supposed to be a characteristic of domineering male leads? How could he have it too?
Lu Lili couldn’t help but reach out to touch his face. She discovered that his expressionless face was actually soft, not rigid as she had imagined, so she quickly withdrew her hand.
She smiled awkwardly and decided to change the topic to make him forget her previous action.
“In that case, I accept your apology. You’re Shi Yan’s younger brother, right? Is she out right now?”
“Not yet. She should have just woken up. I woke up earlier today. Do you know why?” Shi Chao suddenly redirected the topic back to himself.
Lu Lili had no choice but to ask, “Why?”
“Because I was waiting for you to come out.”
“… ” He really was waiting for her. Her first intuition was not wrong!
“Since the night before, I’ve been restless and couldn’t sleep well all night. I’ve been regretting something I did wrong. So, I’ve been waiting for you to come out, wanting to apologize to you.”
After listening to him, Lu Lili suddenly wanted to laugh. “Oh, no wonder you have dark circles. But how can it be like this? For you, I’m just a stranger. We haven’t formally gotten to know each other.”
Shi Chao fell silent for a while.
He furrowed his brows, his gaze changing over and over again, as if there was a battle within his heart.
Lu Lili patiently waited for his answer.
Until he suddenly spoke up, asking a question that has always had differing opinions in people’s hearts, “Do you believe in love at first sight?”
Lu Lili blinked and actually pondered whether she believed in it or not.
Even though they had fallen in love in two lifetimes, she had never thought about this question.
But Shi Chao didn’t need her answer at all. He said directly, “I didn’t believe in it before, but when I saw you, I believed.”
