After a brief moment of shock, Shi Aiqiao was excited, and her eyes sparkled with light.
Her hands were raised above her head by Lansheng, and she pursed her lips, her eyes shimmering with anticipation as she looked at him.
Lansheng's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, his lips were a bit dry, and the fire that had ignited in his gaze was slowly fading away until at last, he returned to his usual demeanor.
"Qiaoqiao, just wait a little longer," Lansheng didn't outright reject her.
Shi Aiqiao paused, "Wait for what?"
Lansheng took a deep breath, "Wait till you're a little older."
"How am I not old enough?" Shi Aiqiao looked down at herself, "Is it age or..."
"Qiaoqiao," Lansheng knew she was thinking astray again, "how about we date first, is that okay?"
Shi Aiqiao wanted to say no, but she was also afraid that he wouldn't even want to give it a try with her in the end.
