"Ah, I found the perfect book to analyse." Keyu stated out loud as it made Ningning stop her search as she snaps her head towards his direction.
"Really, what is it?!" She asks excitedly as she went over to him.
"Let's analyse a Sherlock Holmes book." He answers as he shows her the book.
That excited smile on her face turned upside down as she looks at him in disbelief and with a frown.

"You're joking." She says, looking at him as she hopes that he wasn't being serious.
"Does it look like I'm joking?" He retorted whilst raising a brow at her.
She lets out an annoyed whine.
"Don't tell me that you're a Sherlockian. Keyu, that's probably going to take me like a whole month to finish reading. I don't think my brain could handle that." She whines but he could just stare at her, unbothered by her response.

"Arthur Conan Doyle's books are interesting and entertaining once you've read them. I swear you'll enjoy reading it, especially the thrill in trying to find the culprit. There's a lot that we could write for our analysis." He explains as she lets out a sigh of defeat.
"Fine." She replies sadly as it made him smile.
"Great. I'll pay for the books for the two of us. See it as my treat since you're so willing to read this book for me." He says as the two of them started making their way to the front.
"Oh shut up." Ningning chimes whilst rolling her eyes as she tails behind him.

Ningning watches as Keyu paid for their books. The girl staring at him seriously as she examines him. He was smart, handsome, tall, could act hello?? And he was fluent in English as well. That was the whole packet for Ningning. Maybe, just maybe, he could be the perfect match for her...

"Hello, Ningning I'm done paying." Keyu stated as he pokes her forehead to snap her out of her daydream.
Ningning blinking her eyes at him before she finally snaps out of it. Geez, how long was she daydreaming for.

"O-oh right. Thanks for paying! You really didn't have to." Ningning says as the two of them exited the book store.
"I was the one who insisted so I really didn't mind paying." He replies before he hands one of the books that he had bought over to her.
"Make sure you start reading. Try to finish reading it before next week because that's when we have to start writing the analysis." He explains as she just nodded her head in understanding.

Ningning was wondering whether she should ask him or not. Ask or not. Ask or not.
Oh she was conflicted.
But Ningning never listens to her heart because she always listens to the voices in her head so fuck it, she was going to ask him.

"By the way Keyu, this is such a random question but do you have a girlfriend?" She asks.
There she finally said it. She asked him.
He looks down at her with his brows furrowed as he found it kinda weird that she'd ask him that all of a sudden.

"Nope. Never dated anyone in my life." He replies straight to the point.
"No way?? Someone like you have never dated anyone before." She continues to ask.
Keyu nods his head.
"Never was interested in the dating life. I was too busy focusing on my studies and ambitions. What about you?" He then says.
Ningning didn't know why she felt sort of nervous when he looked at her after asking that question.

"Same. I've never dated anyone before. I was usually the one who watched my friends get a boyfriend. I never really got along well with guys hahaha.." She replies whilst letting out a nervous chuckle.
"Ah so we're the same then. Just different reasons." He stated.

She gulps as she mustered up the courage to say the next few words.

"Hey Keyu. Do you want to be my boyfriend." She asks.
As she said that, it felt as if the time around them had froze as he looks at her with his eyes wide as saucers. His glasses falling to the bride of his nose as he looks at her a bit startled and perplexed.
"You know since like the both of us have never dated anyone before. I also want to really know what it's like to be in a relationship, I kind of feel left out whenever my friends talk about their boyfriends.." She rambles nervously whilst scratching her face.
