Beneath the bright lights of the school supermarket, a chilly draft emanated from the freezer.
Shen Yuan stood before the freezer, his eyes zeroing in on the most expensive item inside.
A crafty and expectant glint flashed in his eyes as Shen Yuan turned to Li Zhi beside him. "Li Bao, it's not every day you treat, so I'm in the mood to try something special."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhi saw Shen Yuan point to the most expensive ice cream. "That one. We have to make the most of this happy occasion!"
Li Zhi, who had been trying to decide what to get, heard him and her delicate brows furrowed. She shot him a sharp look.
"You're pushing it."
Shen Yuan, however, was completely unfazed by Li Zhi's rejection.
The boy's face immediately broke into his usual, roguish grin—a look both shameless and cheeky.
"Hehehe..."
Still grinning, Shen Yuan leaned slightly toward Li Zhi, his voice softening and his words drawing out as he began to deploy his "weapon."
