Wei Chengfeng's words couldn't be clearer, and Su Li almost got it in a second.
She looked up and glared at him, wanting to say something, but then felt that nothing she could say would be quite right, so she simply chose to say nothing at all.
Wei Chengfeng felt his temper rise as she glared, but he also knew that the sober Su Li wasn't as easy to coax as she had been the night before, and moreover, he was genuinely concerned about her delicate frame, which seemed too frail. If he went too far, he feared...
Su Li finished her noodles deliberately slowly, wiped her mouth, then said, "I'm done eating, I'll go up first."
"Wait."
Just as Su Li was about to stand up, hearing him say that made her sit back down.
"What is it?"
"Wait for me."
The reason Su Li wanted to go upstairs so quickly was precisely to avoid waiting for him, and she hadn't anticipated that he would ask her to wait.
But now that he had asked, she suddenly didn't know how to refuse.
