Meng Renshu's explanation was detailed and not as fast as before. He was clearly trying to match her learning pace, and Li Caiyi felt conflicted again because he was so considerate of her.
Since they were currently in the library, they couldn't be too noisy, so Meng Renshu scooted closer as he explained things in a low tone. Li Caiyi, who initially regretted her choice, gradually forgot about their distance and focused on the lesson instead. Unfortunately, that focus didn't last long.
"I still don't understand this part…."
"Which one?" Meng Renshu leaned in to take a closer look. A waft of sandalwood faintly emanating from him distracted Li Caiyi. The distance between them was less than a hand span, making their shoulders and upper arms occasionally brush against each other. It made her feel self-conscious.
