Chapter 945 When Fate Brings Us Together, No One Can Stop It

Sheng Yao was different. Not only was she not saddened by Shen Boyan's rejection, but she even tried to make him like her.

Sheng Yao looked at Qiao Xing with hopeful eyes, "Qiao Xing, please help me! I really, really want to be with Shen Boyan, and I like him very, very much!"

Qiao Xing took a sip of water and smiled somewhat awkwardly, "I want to help you, but I don't know how. Although we are friends, I don't know much about his love life."

Sheng Yao stood up and sat down next to Qiao Xing, asking him, "Did Shen Boyan have any girls he liked before?"

Qiao Xing thought for a moment and shook his head, "It seems not, but I remember several girls pursuing him."

But whether it was because of Shen Boyan or because of those girls, it seemed that nothing came of it between him and each of them.

Sheng Yao was about to ask Qiao Xing if she knew that Shen Boyan liked her.

But before the words could be spoken, he stopped himself in time.

She remembered that Shen Boyan seemed to have become unusually sensitive about Qiao Xing's matter.

In the past, when Qiao Xing was mentioned in front of Shen Boyan, his emotions would clearly fluctuate.

But after returning to the capital, things seemed to change.

Sheng Yao continued to inquire with Qiao Xing, "So, do you think Shen Boyan is easy to get along with? Is there anything about him that you particularly dislike?"

"This..." Qiao Xing thought about it seriously for a moment, but really couldn't figure it out.

In her memory, Shen Boyan was actually a fairly easy person to get along with.

She's usually not very talkative and has a rather easygoing personality, but that's about it.

Sheng Yao pouted, "Don't blame me for talking too much. I was so focused on pursuing Shen Boyan that I forgot that to like someone, you have to understand them from all aspects. Just liking them isn't enough."

Sheng Yao hadn't thought about these things before, so she could only ask Qiao Xing for help now and cram in the knowledge.

Sheng Yao believed that as long as the two of them understood each other well enough, Shen Boyan would see her good qualities and, over time, would develop feelings for her.

However, Qiao Xing suggested to her, "Actually, I think you can ask him out, have a meal together, go shopping. You can only understand the other person's preferences by getting to know them. Otherwise, it's useless to just know without taking action."

Sheng Yao said, "I understand the reasoning, but Shen Boyan always gives you the impression that he is easy to get along with, but when you are with him, you will find that the two of you are no different from people who have just met. You have no idea how nervous I am every time I am with him."

Qiao Xing looked at her in surprise, "You're nervous? I didn't realize that. You weren't like this before..."

"That was all an act. Don't be fooled by how much I chatter in front of Shen Boyan. I'm terrified he'll get impatient. Luckily, he didn't make me leave in a huff, or I would have been so embarrassed!"

Qiao Xing laughed and said, "No, he's not that kind of person. Although he may seem a bit difficult to get along with, he respects women a lot. And if he really disliked you, you wouldn't even have a second chance to see him."

"Really?"

"It's true, there was a girl with good qualities who pursued him before, but for various reasons, they didn't end up together, and their relationship was quite unpleasant. But even so, he never said a bad word about that girl, even when others said that she had lied to him."

Sheng Yao recalled every meeting she had with Shen Boyan.

Although he said he didn't like her, and rejected her very decisively many times.

But no matter how many times she pestered him, Shen Boyan never lost his temper with her, nor did he ever say a single harsh word to her.

He would rather endure Sheng Yao's annoyance than hurt her in order to get rid of her.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that Shen Boyan was actually quite good to her.

As Sheng Yao thought about it, she cheered herself up again.

Qiao Xing said, "So instead of trying to understand Shen Boyan from me, you should get to know him slowly on your own. Feelings need to be cultivated. Just because he hasn't accepted you yet doesn't mean he won't in the future."

Sheng Yao blinked. "So you mean that his not rejecting me means he can accept me?"

"Well."

Sheng Yao's train of thought was a bit disjointed, but the meaning was correct.

Qiao Xing said, "More or less. When it comes to feelings, you can't predict them. When fate brings you together, no one can stop it."

Sheng Yao thought Qiao Xing was right, but she was still a little unsure. "But I'm always worried that I don't have anything that can attract him."

Why would you think that?

Sheng Yao thought to herself, "Because Shen Boyan likes you."

Qiao Xing is gentle and speaks very politely, while she is lively and always speaks rashly, forming a stark contrast with Qiao Xing.

If Qiao Xing is the standard in Shen Boyan's mind, then she is far from it.

Sheng Yao didn't voice her thoughts, but simply told Qiao Xing, "I don't know either, I just have a feeling that he wouldn't like someone like me."

Qiao Xing found her idea rather cute, as it reminded her of herself when she first started dating.

At that time, Qiao Xing was most worried that the other person might not like her, or that she might do something wrong, and she might even become sensitive and insecure because of something the other person said.

This is actually a common feeling among many girls, and Sheng Yao is no exception.

Although Sheng Yao appears carefree, innocent, and cute, she is just like any other girl when it comes to matters of the heart, feeling lost and directionless.

Qiao Xing said to her seriously, "Yao Yao, there is no specific standard for liking someone, because people are different. You can't always only like people within your standards. Moreover, feelings are uncontrollable. If you really meet the right person, all the rules and regulations you set will be meaningless."

Sheng Yao felt like she'd been tricked into believing something, and she looked at Qiao Xing with shining eyes and an expression of admiration, "How do you know so much?"

Qiao Xing felt embarrassed by her gaze. What was originally just a small suggestion now felt like an emotionally rich person teaching a novice how to date.

Qiao Xing chuckled awkwardly, "It's probably because a lot has happened to the people around me, but these are just my own thoughts. If you don't like them, just pretend you didn't hear them."

"No!" Sheng Yao quickly replied, "Only you could tell me these things, and I feel that your words have been a great help to me. I immediately knew what to do! Qiao Xing! You are truly my lucky star!"

Sheng Yao couldn't help but hug Qiao Xing.

At the same time, he thought to himself, no wonder Shen Boyan likes Qiao Xing.

She has a really good personality. The two of them have only met a few times in total, but she still doesn't mind the trouble and is willing to make a trip to listen to her talk about all sorts of random things.

Girls like this are so comfortable to be around!
