Xu Xi was so happy she didn't know what to say. She was secretly excited for a few seconds before she calmed down and spoke. "You...are so beautiful, have you never been in a relationship?"

There seemed to be a soft chuckle from the other end, the tone gentle and relaxed. "What does good looks have to do with the number of times you've been in love?"

"No, no." Xu Xi hastily denied. God knows she didn't mean that. She explained: "I mean, you are so beautiful, there must be a lot of people chasing you, don't you have anyone you like?"

Chen Shuning was silent for a while, and in his mind he saw Xu Xi in junior high school, high school, and college, studying without looking up, and busy with part-time jobs during holidays. She was busy all day long and didn't pay attention to who was around her at all.

She moved her lips slightly. "I study and work all day long, so I don't have time for love. So, I've never had a relationship."

In one sentence, it seemed like he was talking about himself, but also seemed to be "criticizing" Xu Xi. But the person in front of him didn't understand a word he said.

"That's right." Xu Xi replied blankly. She thought, maybe everyone who studies this major is like this?

When Xu Xi heard this answer, she thought they were "sympathetic" and secretly sighed in her heart: Oh my god, it's all fate. Xu Xi's heart was filled with joy.

Xu Xi: “Oh, then…” That’s great.

She almost said what was in her heart.

Xu Xi originally wanted to ask something else, but before she could say anything, Chen Shuning asked her, "Have you ever been in a relationship?"

I definitely haven’t talked about it.

Xu Xi pursed her lips. For some reason, her ears felt a little hot at this moment. She was thinking in her heart: I have never been in a relationship. Even before I met you, I didn’t want to fall in love or get married.

"I haven't talked about it either."

Xu Xi's voice faltered nervously. The joy in her heart nearly made her want to express her feelings, but in the end, she held back. She told herself she had to hold steady, to express her love first. She had to let Chen Shuning feel her love through her actions before expressing it with words. That way, her chances of success would be very high.

It's so great! Although I was anxious before getting the answer to my question, I didn't expect to know the answer so quickly and easily. Now that my anxiety is gone, I can pursue my partner with peace of mind.

It all happened so smoothly.

Xu Xi felt like she was dreaming. What was the first step in pursuing a goddess as mentioned in the "Goddess Chasing Handbook"?

Xu Xi took it and took another look at it: understand the goddess's hobbies, and then cater to her preferences.

What does Chen Shuning like?

You have to understand it slowly.

Chen Shuning was silent for two seconds before continuing with the previous question. Her tone was very soft and gentle, like someone casually chatting while having nothing to do.

"So what novel are you reading now? Have you learned any dating skills?"

Is this something that can be said?

Xu Xi stared at the "Goddess Chasing Handbook" with a guilty conscience. She wasn't reading the novel, but was learning the techniques of love...

But what to do? I just thought of this method to guide myself to the answer I want to know, but now that I know the answer, another problem arises.

She used to be so focused on studying and working that she hardly read any novels, because studying, working and part-time jobs had filled up all her time.

The only entertainment novels I read were the ones Xiao Mu had recommended to me. They were all about two girls falling in love. But… Xiao Mu had told me to learn how to date someone else in those novels.

Xu Xi fell into a period of uncertainty.

Should she push these novels and comics to Chen Shuning? Was she serious or just trying to be polite?

It was all her fault for using this as an excuse just now. Now she didn't know what to do. In a state of desperation, Xu Xi thought, if she wanted to be with Chen Shuning, knowing that he was single, shouldn't she also let Chen Shuning know what kind of person she liked first? Boys or girls?

This is really a question that needs to be thought about.

If Chen Shuning knew that she liked a girl and Chen Shuning didn't like her, then Chen Shuning would definitely take the initiative to stay away from her. Then she would have no chance to continue pursuing Chen Shuning. She couldn't cling to others like she did.

If Chen Shuning doesn't object and they can continue as smoothly as before, then there will be a chance to continue.

Therefore, it may be a wise choice to reveal your sexual preferences at this time.

Xu Xi swallowed quietly, mustered up her courage, and whispered into the phone, "Actually, I'm just watching it to kill time and relax. If you like it, I'll pass it on to you when I hang up."

Chen Shuning smiled calmly. "I like it. I usually read some novels and magazines."

After saying this, Chen Shuning paused for a moment before adding, "I also like to read comics and the like."

ah? ? ?

Chen Shuning likes to read comics?

Xu Xi was a little surprised, but also a little delighted. She suddenly felt that her childhood friend was truly the best in the world. She had actually used all the novels and comics she had sent her at this very moment.

Xu Xi lowered her eyes and decided to push all the novels and comics to Chen Shuning later.

Xu Xi was nervous because she was thinking that making this decision might lead to a decisive answer. She paused while speaking and clenched her hands into fists.

"I've read some comics before, I'll recommend them to you later."

Chen Shuning: "Okay."

After Xu Xi finished speaking, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to say it out loud. Only by saying it out loud would she know whether she had a chance to pursue him.

After saying this, both of them fell into silence for a few seconds.

Thanks to her "immersion in study and work", Xu Xi had no experience in social chatting. At this moment, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, thinking desperately in her mind what topic she should find to continue the conversation.

She wanted to continue chatting with Chen Shuning, just a casual chat, with only gentleness and tranquility, and ease.

I no longer have the pressure of work like before. In the past, when I talked to people about work, I was always realistic and strived for perfection. I would never add a comma or period if I could finish something in one sentence.

So, what else could she talk about?

Xu Xi held it in for a long time before finally uttering a sentence that had nothing to do with all the previous conversations.

"By the way, Shuning. If you have any questions about drawing, you can ask me. I can help you take a look. Don't hesitate."

After saying this, Xu Xi almost wanted to beat herself to death. They were clearly chatting about some hobbies and interests, so why did they end up talking about their majors?

However, she heard Chen Shuning answer her. "Okay."

Xu Xi was in a good mood. It seemed that it was enough for her to chat casually.
