"Thank you, Teacher Shi."
Ah Chen accepted the small cake handed over by Shi Wei with a gentle smile, expressing her gratitude with polite yet distant words, giving off a sense of detachment.
But Shi Wei seemed a bit distracted.
When she held onto the small cake, he didn't release his hand in time, instead just gazing at her beautiful, fair hand. Her nails were pink and glossy, appearing well-kept, just like her, obedient and pretty.
"Is it not for me?" Ah Chen asked with a smile.
Shi Wei snapped back to reality, quickly releasing his hand, his expression quite serious: "Sorry, I probably haven't rested well lately." He inadvertently shifted his gaze away, pointing to the location of the sugar-free cakes, nodded at her, and returned to his original seat, closing his eyes again, as if proving he really hadn't rested well.
Annoyed with himself, he found himself handing someone a small cake.
