After Li Ran carefully wiped the glasses with a tissue, she wanted to help Zhou Liu put it on again. However, Zhou Liu dodged and hurriedly used both hands to take the glasses as he stammered, “It’s… It’s alright. I can do it myself.”

Li Ran leaned forward and smiled at him. “Why? Am 1 very scary? Why do 1 feel that you’ve been avoiding me?”

“N-no.”

Zhou Liu put on his glasses in a panic, but didn’t dare to look at Li Ran, so he lowered his head and drank the soup with an iron spoon. The soup had just been served and the temperature was still very high. Zhou Liu drank it too quickly, so he scalded his tongue. It was so painful that his hand trembled and the soup spilled on the table.

Li Ran handed the paper to him happily. “Here, wipe the table.”

Zhou Liu took the tissue awkwardly and wiped the table clean.

Li Ran could tell that this fellow definitely didn’t have any romantic experience. He definitely didn’t have much contact with girls, which was why he was so awkward. Later on, when they were eating, Li Ran didn’t tease him anymore.

When the crab fried rice was served, Li Ran dug out a small plate of fried rice with a spoon and handed it to Zhou Liu, who had already recovered from his previous panic. After he took the fried rice, he thanked her politely.

When Zhou Liu saw that Li Ran had already wiped her mouth with a tissue, he called the server over. “Hello, please clean up the table.”

The server brought over a tray and a cloth. Then, she carried the leftover plates and bowls away before wiping the table with a cloth.

This attracted the attention of the surrounding people. The scene of Li Ran and Zhou Liu appearing together was already a little out of place in the first place.

Li Ran was wearing a white suit and a mini-skirt that showed off her slender legs. On the other hand, Zhou Liu was wearing a simple checkered shirt and jeans. He looked neat, but he didn’t put in much effort. The two of them didn’t look well-matched.

Everyone would leave after eating and almost no one would let the attendant clean the table before continuing to chat here, so they attracted the attention of the surrounding people.

Li Ran didn’t understand Zhou Liu’s actions either, so she asked him, “Why did you ask her to clean up the table? We can find a milk tea shop to drink milk tea and continue chatting.”

Zhou Liu’s expression was very serious and he was still checking if the table had been wiped clean as he said, “Because I want to help you check the computer. Oil stains are very harmful to the computer.”

Li Ran was stunned. Why was this fellow so unromantic? They had already finished his meal, but his mind was still on the computer.

As she was thinking about it, Zhou Liu had already taken out the laptop from her pink laptop bag and placed it on the table. Just as he was about to turn it on, Li Ran stopped him.

“It’s alright. I’ll take the computer back to get it fixed.”

Zhou Liu didn’t understand. His face was filled with honesty. “But didn’t you say that there are confidential documents on the computer? How can you be at ease if you hand them to me?”

Li Ran was amused by this fool. Who would persuade others to be suspicious of himself? She said, “I’m completely at ease with you. Besides, only by giving you the computer will we have a chance to meet again.”

Zhou Liu had never seen such a straightforward person like Li Ran and he couldn’t understand the meaning of her words for a moment, but he blushed.

He put the laptop away and placed it back into his pink laptop bag. Then, he carried his laptop bag. He didn’t mind that the color of Li Ran’s laptop bag was too feminine and carried it in his hand.

Zhou Liu said to Li Ran, “Then let’s find a milk tea shop to sit in for a while”

Li Ran was slightly taken aback. Was he responding to what she had just said? It seemed that he wasn’t as socially awkward as he looked.

Li Ran got up and followed Zhou Liu out. When she reached the front desk, she took out her phone and was about to settle the bill when Zhou Liu took out her phone before her and aimed the screen at the machine.

After leaving the restaurant, Li Ran said in embarrassment, “We agreed that I would treat you to a meal to thank you. Why are you the one paying?”

Zhou Liu said aloofly, “It’s alright. You can treat me to milk tea as a thank you.”

Li Ran was stunned once again.. He didn’t seem to be as oblivious as before… Was this fellow’s learning ability that impressive?
