Susan looked at Ouyang Mengmian's reaction and couldn't help laughing. She gently pulled Ouyang Mengmian's hand and said, "What are you staring at? Can't you see that I'm giving you a surprise?"
Ouyang Mengmian's eyes moved away from Susan's hand holding hers, and she could not help but glance at Li Xin. Li Xin stood there, smiling at her, his eyes full of tenderness and expectation.
His appearance made Ouyang Mengmian feel both surprised and embarrassed. She didn't know how to deal with this sudden "surprise".
Ouyang Mengmian took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm. She didn't want to appear too shy in front of Li Xin, nor did she want Susan to have the chance to laugh at her. So, she mustered up her courage and asked softly, "Why... why are you back again?"
Li Xin looked at Ouyang Mengmian, still with that warm smile on his face. He handed the shopping bag to Ouyang Mengmian and said softly: "The journey is long, I bought some snacks for you...you guys, take them and eat them."
After hearing Li Xin's explanation, Ouyang Mengmian's confusion dissipated a little, but the blush on her cheeks remained. She looked at the big shopping bag that Li Xin handed over, feeling touched but also a little overwhelmed.
"This...how can I feel embarrassed about this?" Ouyang Mengmian said hesitantly. She wanted to refuse, but looking at Li Xin's sincere eyes, she couldn't say it.
Seeing this, Susan smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Mengmian, Li Xin is so thoughtful, so don't be polite. Besides, it's really great to have a friend like him."
Ouyang Mengmian was a little embarrassed by Susan's words. She secretly glanced at Li Xin and found that his eyes were still looking at her gently and attentively. Her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, as if it was tightly grasped by something.
"Then...then I'll accept it. Thank you, Li Xin." Ouyang Mengmian finally plucked up the courage, took the shopping bag from Li Xin's hand, and said in a low voice.
When Li Xin saw Ouyang Mengmian accept his gift, an even brighter smile appeared on his face. He looked at Ouyang Mengmian tenderly, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
"You're welcome, Mengmian. I'm glad I can do something for you." Li Xin's voice was low and magnetic, making Ouyang Mengmian feel inexplicably relieved.
When Li Xin slowly walked away from Ouyang Mengmian, Ouyang Mengmian finally realized that she was surrounded by the curious eyes of the passengers around her. Although she had experienced countless grand and solemn scenes, it was the first time in her life that she faced such direct and undisguised gazes.
After all, she was only a 20-year-old girl, in the prime of her youth; and she was feeling shy because of this vague relationship, so she buried her head deep in the pile of snacks like a frightened ostrich, as if only in this way could she slightly ease her inner embarrassment and anxiety.
Susan didn't care about that. She reached out and grabbed the shopping bag that Ouyang Mengmian was holding in her arms, quickly found the opening of the bag, and started to pull it open. Ouyang Mengmian saw that Susan wanted to see the snacks in the bag, so he quickly let go of the bag.
"Let me see what delicious snacks Li Xin prepared for you, oh, no, for 'us'..."
Susan was rummaging through the shopping bags with great interest, and was obviously curious about the gift Li Xin had given her. She originally wanted to play a joke on Ouyang Mengmian, but when she saw the way Ouyang Mengmian was staring at her, she quickly changed her mind.
"Wow, so many delicious foods!" Susan's eyes were immediately attracted by the wide variety of snacks. She picked at them and praised, "Li Xin is so thoughtful. He knows you like these."
Ouyang Mengmian's head was still buried in the shopping bag, but her cheeks flushed involuntarily. She tried to hide her embarrassment with her voice, but her words were trembling and shy: "Su... Susan, don't do this."
Susan seemed not to have heard what Ouyang Mengmian said. She continued to look through the snacks in the shopping bag, and from time to time she picked up a bag and asked Ouyang Mengmian: "Is this delicious? Have you tried it before?"
Ouyang Mengmian had no choice but to raise his head and look at Susan with a pleading look. Susan then realized that her behavior might be a bit excessive. She smiled awkwardly, took out a bag of potato chips, tied the shopping bag, and put it back in Ouyang Mengmian's arms.
"I'm sorry, Mengmian. I'm just too curious." Susan explained, "But Li Xin is really good to you, you must cherish him."
Ouyang Mengmian nodded without saying anything. Her mood had calmed down a lot, but the blush on her face had not faded away. She looked at the shopping bag in her hand, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that this gift was not just a bunch of snacks, it represented Li Xin's thoughts and care for her.
