On the way home from school, Shen Sinian, who had heard gossip and rumors, seriously asked Xu Chuning, "Ningning, do you not like me anymore?"
Xu Chuning: "Don't believe in gossip and rumors."
Shen Sinian blinked and glanced at Shen Yubai, who was silent next to him, "So everything you said in the classroom was a lie?"
Xu Chuning thought for a moment: "Half true, half false, I guess."
"Ah?" Shen Sinian was shocked, "Then which half is false, him or me?"
This "him" was obviously referring to Shen Yubai.
Xu Chuning, helplessly and with a wry smile, said, "Neither."
Shen Sinian: "Ah?"
Xu Chuning: "I just didn't want to discuss this topic with them more, so I said I didn't want to choose anyone."
Shen Yubai glanced at her, voice low and gentle, "Is that really all?"
"… What else could it be." Xu Chuning shot him a glance.
Shen Yubai: "…"
He had thought that she really didn't want to choose him.
