Chapter 173 Confirmed to Like
Xu Qingwu pressed against Cen Xihuai's chest and pushed him out of the bathroom. Cen Xihuai grabbed her hand and took a step forward towards her.
He smiled slightly: "Didn't you say I was mature and charming before?"
Continuing forward: "To coax me?"
Going further: "You don't like it?"
Cen Xihuai pressed forward step by step, and Xu Qingwu retreated again and again.
He took off his gentlemanly and ascetic appearance, and his somewhat coercive look made people feel like their hearts were about to jump out of their chests.
It's simply because of male beauty that people are misled!
Before she knew it, Xu Qingwu had been pushed in front of the sink by Cen Xihuai, with no way to retreat.
His eyes were gloomy: "Really don't like it?"
Who can say they don't like this face?
Xu Qingwu bit her lip and nodded truthfully: "I like it."
He lifted her waist and placed her on the sink. Cen Xihuai looked up at her, his eyes reflecting the light very brightly: "How much do you like me?"
How could she say...
The ambiguous and awkward atmosphere made her toes curl up.
"Probably a little bit." Feeling that her face was so hot that it could boil an egg, Xu Qingwu quickly kicked him with her foot, "Okay, get out quickly, I need to take a shower."
One second he said he liked me a little bit, and the next second he was kicked out.
Cen Xihuai curled his lips and went to another bathroom to wash up happily.
So what if I like you a little bit?
A little bit of liking is still liking!
It was still early, and after washing up, the two prepared to watch a movie together. There were so many movies in the movie library that it was dizzying to choose from.
Xu Qingwu asked Cen Xihuai for his opinion, and Cen Xihuai asked her to choose for herself, as he didn't usually watch movies.
So Xu Qingwu just randomly ordered a popular romance movie and drank hot water while watching it.
As I looked, my thoughts wandered away.
She thought of the many marriage proposals Chen Ke had mentioned at the dinner table. The ones she knew of included Chen Miao and the eldest daughter of the Lan family, but she felt that there were far more than just the three of them.
"Cen Xihuai."
"Um?"
"Who was your marriage partner back then?"
"I forgot."
"Then how many are there?"
"I don't know. There's a stack of photos. Mom picked them all."
A stack of...
This adjective is really speechless.
Xu Qingwu pursed her lips, her tone inexplicably a bit sour: "You are quite popular?"
Cen Xihuai didn't notice at all, and said while watching the movie: "No matter how popular it is, it's yours."
If you put it that way, that's true.
Xu Qingwu was watching a movie with a distracted mind. The movie was telling the story of how the heroine fell in love with the hero.
So what exactly is love?
Xu Qingwu took out her phone and sent a message to Cen Yue: "Xiaoyue, how did you find out that you like someone else?"
Cen Yue didn't reply, so Xu Qingwu went to read the little green book again.
She typed: How to determine who you like?
I didn’t expect that there really is such a post. The first hot comment and reply is: The person you think of when you post is the person you like.
Um, is it so careless?
Xu Qingwu felt that the question she was searching for was a bit ambiguous. What she wanted to confirm now was not who the person she liked was, but whether she really liked Cen Xihuai.
So she cleared the search box, thought for a moment, and typed again.
"How do you know for sure if you like someone?"
As expected, she was not the only one who had this question. Someone also posted about this issue, and it received a lot of likes and replies.
Comment 1: If you like someone, you will like the smell of that person.
Xu Qingwu thought about it and she really liked the unique cedar wood tone on Cen Xihuai.
Comment 2: When you like him, you will feel comfortable getting along with each other, have the same values and thoughts.
Xu Qingwu looked back on how she and Cen Xihuai had been getting along for so long, and found them to be very harmonious, no matter in which aspect. Moreover, Cen Xihuai respected and cared for her very much, and her married life was very comfortable.
Comment 3: The body doesn’t lie. Just look at how fast your heart beats. If it beats fast, there’s no way you can escape it. I guarantee you’ll like it.
Xu Qingwu thought about how she almost thought there was something wrong with her heart and had an electrocardiogram, but the test results showed that everything was normal.
Comment 4: Seeing the opposite sex around him makes me feel sad and blocked, and I tend to doubt myself and fall into internal friction.
Xu Qingwu thought of the stack of photos that Cen Xihuai mentioned not long ago. She did feel a little uncomfortable at that time.
The comments below also provide some other verification directions and examples from netizens’ own experiences.
As Xu Qingwu was browsing through them carefully and matching them with herself, Cen Yue sent her a link and she exited the interface.
When you click on it, it's a mosaic.
Cen Yue, this little yellow girl!
Xu Qingwu was speechless for a moment and immediately left.
"Cen Xiaoyue, do you want to take another look at what you sent me?!"
Subsequently, the link was withdrawn by Cen Yue and a new link was sent to her.
Cen Yue sent a voice message. Xu Qingwu was afraid she might say something unacceptable, so she converted it directly into text: "Hold me, hold me. I saved this censored message by mistake. Check out this new link."
Xu Qingwu: "I won't watch!"
Cen Yue: "? Didn't you ask me how I discovered I liked someone? You really don't read netizens' experience posts?"
Xu Qingwu turned her phone to silent mode before opening the link sent by Cen Yue with some doubt. It was another post asking whether one liked it or not.
After reading all the highly liked comments on the two posts, Xu Qingwu finally confirmed his guess.
She must have fallen in love with Cen Xihuai.
Xu Qingwu put away her phone, poked Cen Xihuai's arm with her finger, and asked him, "Cen Xihuai, can I rest my head on your legs?"
"Of course." Cen Xihuai generously gave her the right to use his thigh.
Xu Qingwu lay down on his head as if she knew the place well, and took a deep sniff at his scent, which was really pleasant.
Cen Xihuai stroked her hair with his big hands like he was petting a cat. Xu Qingwu felt itchy and grabbed his fingers.
Play with it.
It's a perfect hand, as beautiful as a work of art.
Xu Qingwu pinched her fingers one by one, and touched the palms and backs of her hands. She couldn't let go of them. Her hand control was satisfied at this moment.
Her palms were tickling him, and Cen Xihuai lost interest in watching the movie. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Is it fun?"
Discovered...
Xu Qingwu quickly let go of his hand and pretended not to hear.
Cen Xihuai gently scratched her chin with his hand, then suddenly lowered his head to look into her eyes: "Kiss?"
There was no light in the room, and the dim light of the movie being watched on a projector made it easier for vague and ambiguous feelings to arise.
Cen Xihuai's voice was deep and magnetic. Xu Qingwu felt like she was about to be seduced by him. She cleared her throat strategically and said, "It's okay to take it."
Cen Xihuai let out a muffled laugh and patted her head to make her sit up.
Then he pinched her chin and kissed her.
The space is heating up.
Xu Qingwu was dizzy from his kiss. When the suspenders were peeled off, she opened her eyes mistily: "Do... do it here? The projection is not turned off yet..."
