Ying Yunsheng didn't understand at first: "No."
Ji Li: "If you don't have one, would you like to take a look?"

Chapter 51
Wishing Wall
Ying Yunsheng arrived in the capital in the afternoon.
Ji Li picked him up, hailed taxis for him, booked a hotel for him, and helped him settle his luggage.
Ying Yunsheng kept his eyes on Ji Li for most of the time, but unfortunately Ji Li didn't even spare him a glance for most of the time.
Ji Li checked all the facilities in the hotel room one by one and made sure there were no problems: "You can stay here for the next few days."
Ying Yunsheng: "Hmm."
Ji Li glanced at his phone: "My aunt has woken up, I need to go to the hospital now."
Ying Yunsheng: "Oh."
"Call me if anything comes up." Ji Li took his phone and went out.
Ying Yunsheng finally couldn't help but call out to him, "You asked me before if I wanted to come to the capital for a visit."
Ji Li turned around: "So you came, didn't you?"
Ying Yunsheng walked to the door: "You said you would take me with you to see it."
Ji Li: "When you took the taxi here, we passed several scenic spots. Didn't you look around?"
"Uh..." I was so focused on looking at him that I didn't pay any attention to looking out the window.
The accusation on Ying Yunsheng's face was quickly becoming a tangible reality.
Ji Li couldn't help but smile slightly, then stopped teasing him: "Alright, I'll take you out to play when I get back."
Ying Yunsheng peeked out from behind the doorframe: "And now?"
Ji Li turned back and reached out to pull off his glasses.
Ying Yunsheng subconsciously closed his eyes, and then felt the other person's breath approaching, the shape of a kiss imprinted through his thin eyelids.
Ji Li kissed his eyes and put his glasses on: "Be good and wait for me."
Ying Yunsheng was stunned for a long time.
He had just sat back down on the sofa, patted his cheeks, and took out his phone to send something when there was a knock on the door.
Ying Yunsheng opened the peephole; he was a waiter.
The waiter pushed in a cart full of food: "This was just brought up by a Mr. Ji."
Ying Yunsheng had been in the car all morning and hadn't had time to eat yet.
He thanked the waiter, took a picture of the food, and sent it to Ji Li.
Ji Li replied: "I ordered it. Have some to tide you over first, then I'll take you out for dinner tonight."
After turning off my phone, the old lady in front of me asked, "Xiao Li, who are you chatting with?"
Ji Li was unsure of Ying Yunsheng's intentions, so he simply said, "A friend."
The old lady sat on the sofa in the hospital room and asked in a casual tone, "You've graduated now and will be eighteen soon. Do you have a girl you like?"
Ji Li: "No."
The old lady couldn't glean any other meaning from his tone.
Ji Li didn't actually grow up in the capital. Except for the year he spent recuperating here, he spent his junior and senior high school years in Chongliu City, so they rarely met. Moreover, he is not a person who easily shows his emotions, like he is wrapped in a thin eggshell, but no matter how hard people try to squeeze him, they can't break him.
Only when he picks up his phone to text someone does his expression become so vibrant, a sight rarely seen even by an old lady.
The old lady's first thought was that he had a girlfriend.
Unfortunately, Ji Li didn't reveal any flaws when questioned.
The old lady couldn't be sure if she was overthinking things, and she didn't feel comfortable asking too many questions.
Whether it was a friend or a girlfriend, the old lady really wanted to meet the other person and see what kind of genius had the ability to pry open his shell.
.
Ji Li stayed in the capital for three days.
For the next three days, Ying Yunsheng did not work. He had meals delivered by waiters. He spent his free time in his hotel room, where he would do his homework with his head down in the glass behind him reflecting the glittering skyscrapers of over thirty stories, with lush green spider plants next to him and a set of terracotta teapots in front of him.
Anyone who sees this will have to praise him for being diligent and hardworking.
Ji Li noticed the unfinished homework on the table: "Working so hard!"
Ying Yunsheng poured him a glass of water and pushed the untouched dessert on the coffee table over to him: "You clearly write more test papers than I do every day."
Ji Li, clutching her cup, said, "I was going to ask you if you'd like to go out with me."
Ying Yunsheng immediately looked up: "Where to?"
Because of its national fame, Imperial Capital University is a landmark building that almost every tourist passing by will take a look at, and over time it has become a tourist attraction in itself.
It's summer vacation now, and the students have all gone home. Instead, the campus is mostly filled with tourists, taking photos and videos with their phones, and you can even see some people live streaming and chatting with viewers in the chat.
Ying Yunsheng only realized after getting into the car that this seemed to be their first date.
Once that word came out, he couldn't calm down. He was restless the whole way, constantly looking to the side.
Ji Li couldn't help but notice: "What's wrong? Is the chair uncomfortable?"
Ying Yunsheng withdrew his gaze: "No."
He unconsciously stroked the phone screen, his fingertips rubbing the power button repeatedly, then suddenly looked down and pressed the screen to turn it on, opening Baidu.
Ever since he last searched for "Plato" online, he didn't dare open the software again for a week. The search record was still there, but the page had long since redirected to the homepage.
He carefully typed "dating" into the search box and began to learn from experience.
After the two arrived at their destination, Ji Li was about to open the car door when someone grabbed his hand.
Ying Yunsheng got out of the car first, then went around to the other side to open the door for him, and even stretched out a hand.
Ji Li looked at the hand blocking his way out of the car: "What's wrong with you?"
Ying Yunsheng: "I'll help you."
“Uh…” Ji Li suddenly had the illusion that he had become a young lady from an ancient boudoir, and in front of him was a servant boy who was very attentive to him.
Ying Yunsheng, completely unaware, asked, "Do you want some ice cream?"
"generally."
"Where's the braised pork?"
"fine."
Where are the takoyaki?
"I'm not hungry yet," Ji Li said, puzzled. "Do you want to eat now?"
Ying Yunsheng denied it, but then ran to the handmade ice cream cart next to him and bought three scoops of ice cream, which were put in a cardboard box.
Because it's summer, the ice cream melts quickly. Ying Yunsheng held the box and used a small stick to pick out a piece to feed it to him.
Ji Li reached out to take it: "Give it to me."
Ying Yunsheng dodged his movement and then held the small wooden stick to his mouth.
Ji Li could only open his mouth and eat.
After that initial incident, he was fed a bite every now and then along the way, and he realized that his previous feeling was wrong. What servant would dare to treat a young lady like that?
He felt more like a philandering patron than a man, with a newly hired male prostitute next to him, who was both awkward and bold in serving his customers, all for the hefty sum of money he would receive after their relationship ended.
The two strolled to the lakeside. Ying Yunsheng threw the empty box into the trash can, stopped to look at the reflection on the water, and suddenly asked, "If I said I wanted to elope with you now, would you agree?"
"Uh..." Ji Li didn't react for a while: "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Ying Yunsheng shook his head.
Ji Li looked at him: "You're acting a little strange today."
"What's strange about it?"
Ji Li didn't speak, she just stared at him.
Ying Yunsheng felt extremely uncomfortable under her gaze and could only surrender first: "Didn't you ask me out on a date?"
Ji Li blinked, setting aside whether the word "date" was appropriate or not: "Does this have anything to do with how you suddenly became like this?"
Ying Yunsheng's voice was barely audible: "I searched for dating tutorials online."
Ji Li listened and asked, "You were going to help me out of the car earlier?"
"The internet says that boyfriends should be responsible for opening car doors."
"You suddenly bought ice cream?"
"My boyfriend should never have his hands empty; he should always have something to eat and drink."
"What if you won't let me touch the ice cream box?"
"When your boyfriend is present, you should not let your partner carry anything other than essential items related to your personal safety, such as your phone and wallet."
"What tutorial were you watching?"
"100 Tips on How to Get Your Girlfriend Used to Having You on Dates"
"I'm not your girlfriend."
"Uh..." Ji Li held back for a while, then couldn't help but laugh out loud: "How can you be so silly?"
