Bai Xuan's thoughts were immediately seen through. He glanced at Tao Jiujiu nervously, then looked at Bixi. Facing the other's sharp gaze, he didn't dare to lie and whispered, "I do like him."

"Hmph." The other party made a disdainful sound.

Tao Jiujiu looked up in confusion, "Is it me that you like?"

Bai Xuan nodded, "Yes."

Tao Jiujiu scratched her hair. "You really like me? But aren't we brothers?"

Bai Xuan: "I don't treat you as a brother, I just like you. Look at who in the class would bring yogurt to their brothers every day, bring lunch for them, and send them home at night. We are the only two of us who are inseparable every day, and you are the only one who treats me as a brother."

Tao Jiujiu was stunned. They really didn't get along like brothers. They looked more like a couple in a relationship!

Bixi said coldly, "White Tiger boy, it seems you have been planning this for a long time. It's probably no coincidence that you and Jiujiu are classmates."

Bai Xuan nodded gently, "It's definitely not a coincidence. I went there specifically for him."

Bixi suddenly understood, "Did you fall for our Jiujiu during our last collaboration?"

Bai Xuan stole a glance at Tao Jiujiu, then nodded, "Yes."

Bixi waved his hand and said, "Then get out of here. Our Jiujiu will not associate with you anymore. You are too complicated, and our Jiujiu is simple. You two are not suitable for each other."

Bai Xuan glared, grabbed the corner of the table and said, "This won't do. You have no right to make decisions for Tao Zhi."

Bixi was so angry that he laughed, "I don't have the right? I'm Uncle Jiujiu!"

Bai Xuan held his head high. "Parents can't make decisions for him. He is independent and free."

Tao Jiujiu laughed awkwardly and said, "Stop arguing. Let's resolve this privately."

Bai Xuan felt a little disappointed. He already knew that Tao Jiujiu didn't like him, but he just wanted to try once and tell her his feelings.

It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t like it now, he can work hard to make him like it.

But it is definitely impossible to separate them completely now and have no contact with each other in the future.

Bixi snorted coldly, not liking everything about this White Tiger boy. He put his chopsticks on the hot pot and said, "We're going to eat now. You can leave now."

Bai Xuan stood up silently, looked at Tao Jiujiu deeply, and then said, "Tao Zhi, I'll be here this holiday. If you have time, just call me. I'll be there whenever you need me."

Tao Jiujiu didn't dare to show it too obviously in front of her uncle, so she could only wave her hand perfunctorily, "Okay."

After getting the answer, Bai Xuan turned and left.

Bixi picked up a piece of cooked beef for Tao Jiujiu and said, "Uncle doesn't mean to stop you from making friends freely, but you are still a high school student. There is no need to rush to talk about dating until college. If he really likes you, he will definitely be willing to wait for a few years. If he can't wait, then he was just talking nonsense.

There are many outstanding people in the university. Chuchu is so pretty and outstanding, there are plenty of people chasing after her."

Tao Jiujiu ate the beef and said with a smile, "Uncle, I know. If he's willing, we can get into the same university. We'll talk about it then."

Bixi: "Well, Jiujiu is smarter than your father. Uncle is very relieved."

Tao Jiujiu: "My dad is just spoiled now, so he doesn't like to use his brain anymore. Actually, he still has his own ideas."

Bixi: "Your father used all his cleverness on food. When he was little, I worried that he would be deceived by a lollipop in the future. But then... never mind, he was deceived anyway."

At this moment, Tao Yan, who was eating a seafood buffet with Qi Lin, sneezed violently.

Qi Lin handed him a piece of toilet paper, wiped his nose and said, "What's wrong? Did you catch a cold last night?"

Tao Yan shook his head, sneezed a few more times, and finally pursed his lips, "I feel like someone is saying bad things about me."

Qi Lin: "Who is so fearless as to say bad things about you? You must have caught a cold last night because you kicked off the quilt. I told you I'd hold you while you slept, but you insisted you were hot. How about we give up the seafood and go get something hot instead?"

Tao Yan nodded. "That's fine. Ever since Ao Bing moved near Nezha's school, the taste of the seafood in the restaurant has changed. It's not as good as before."

Qi Lin: "That's right, that guy only cares about dating and doesn't even do business."

Tao Yan: "Forget it, wait for Jiujiu to come back, let's go eat together near Nezha's school. I really want to drink that seafood porridge."

Qi Lin: "Okay, and Tuntun should be back in a few days. The project they are researching is almost finished these days."

Tao Yan: "Great, the family can be reunited again."

After Tao Jiujiu and Bixi finished eating hot pot, they drove home together.

After arriving home, Tao Jiujiu sent a WeChat message to Bai Xuan, asking him to meet her when he has time tomorrow.

Bai Xuan replied immediately, as if he had been waiting for news from him.

"I live near your villa. I'll wait for you at the gate tomorrow, okay?"

Tao Jiujiu replied: "No need, let's meet at a nearby cafe."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the cafe."

"good."

the next day.

The two met in a cafe.

Tao Jiujiu said straight to the point: "Bai Xuan..."

Bai Xuan interrupted him, "Zhizhi, can you let me speak first?"

He was afraid that Tao Zhi would reject him as soon as he opened his mouth, and then he would really have no chance at all.

Seeing the other person's nervous and anxious expression, Tao Jiujiu nodded: "You go first."

Bai Xuan looked into his eyes and said slowly, "Tao Zhi, I like you. I know you don't like me yet, but I have the patience to wait. I am the reincarnation of the White Tiger, and I have the time to wait for you.

We white tigers will only love one person in our lifetime. Once we decide on one person, it will be for life and we will never regret it.

I'm not saying this to put pressure on you. Liking you is my own business, and you don't need to feel any pressure.

Even if you end up falling in love with someone else, you don't need to feel guilty about me.

Liking you is my own choice. If I dare to admit it, I dare to bear the consequences.

Moreover, I can sense that you are not completely indifferent to me. The fact that you can tolerate my proximity means that I am special, right?"

Tao Jiujiu looked at him with a smile, which made the confident Bai Xuan feel embarrassed.

Could it be that he was wrong in his self-conceited guess?

At this time, the waiter came over with a cup of coffee and a glass of milk.

Bai Xuan stood up, brought the milk to Tao Jiujiu, and drank the coffee himself.

Tao Jiujiu lowered her head, looked at the sweet milk in front of her, and her smile became even sweeter.

Bai Xuan held the small spoon and stirred the coffee, his heart beating fast.

What does Tao Zhi mean by smiling like this? He can feel that Tao Zhi is special to him, but his smile makes his previous confession seem very funny.

Ah!!! What on earth does this mean?
