Chapter 5: Like mother, like daughter_3

Li Li's remark had caught the young man off guard, and his handsome face turned beet red in an instant. Annoyed and embarrassed, he straightforwardly admitted, "Yeah, yeah, I do like Han Yichen, so what? It's none of your business!"

Li Li's chest tightened suddenly, as if she had been punched. Hearing Pei Shangxuan confess his feelings for Han Yichen, despite being mentally prepared, was still hard to accept. She thought of the scene where her little uncle gave the chicken wing to Ya Liming, and felt a pang in her heart—those moments of care that temporarily belonged to her would, once their true owner was found, unhesitatingly shift in another direction, right?

Li Li tried to smile, determined not to let Pei Shangxuan see her sadness.

To Pei Shangxuan, Han Yichen was the person who had awakened his young heart. Many years had passed, and he had come to believe Li Li's theory: that boys truly mature only after they begin to idolize the opposite sex.
