Chapter 396 You Can’t Deny It
The two of them had moved to the small sofa closest to the bar. Pengpeng and Guagua were playing together nearby. Xiaoci was still nestled in Liu Wangxue's arms, taking a lazily nap.
When Liu Wangxue heard this, she immediately had a guess. The hand that was petting the cat used a little force and woke Xiaoci up. The cat stretched out its body, turned over its belly, and asked Liu Wangxue to rub it.
Liu Wangxue put her hands on it, starting from the neck and stroking it downwards, massaging it, and asked Tao Huaxin: "Brother-in-law, is this a confession of love?"
Tao Huaxin adjusted the pillow behind his waist to make himself more comfortable. He found it funny when he thought about it: "That's right. When other people confessed their love, they at least gave a bouquet of flowers, but he just gave a balloon and didn't even make his words clear."
Qiu Xiangrong really only said two words: "For you."
After Tao Huaxin took it, he still smiled shyly, but his nervousness had subsided. He rubbed his hand on the crotch of his trousers and clenched it again.
After receiving the balloon, Tao Huaxin confirmed that Qiu Xiangrong liked her.
But what surprised her was that the fall semester had passed and the winter vacation had also passed, but for some reason Qiu Xiangrong had not confessed his feelings to her.
He didn't express his feelings, but his kindness to Tao Huaxin was genuine. He often gave her small gifts and cared about her well-being. If she worked the night shift, he would definitely take her back to school and to the dormitory. He would also make some delicious food himself, and specially bought an insulated box to bring it to her at work.
In the eyes of her colleagues at the supermarket and even her roommates, they were already together. Sometimes people around her would tease her, but Tao would just smile and say nothing.
Tao Huaxin certainly liked Qiu Xiangrong, and she confirmed it the moment she accepted the balloon. But she always thought that confessing was a boy's thing, so she kept waiting. However, half a year passed in this wait.
On the first day of school in early March, Qiu Xiangrong and his colleagues changed shifts and asked Tao Huaxin, who had just returned from home, to go out for dinner.
It was still chilly in the spring, and the sunset in the evening was chilly. When Tao Huaxin went downstairs, she was still wondering what Qiu Xiangrong meant. He liked her but didn't confess. Would they stay together like this forever? She made up her mind to ask for clarification during dinner.
If Qiu Xiangrong doesn't say anything, she will not wait any longer.
She came and spoke.
As soon as Tao Huaxin walked out of the dormitory building, she received a message from Qiu Xiangrong saying that he had arrived at the school gate and was walking towards the dormitory. She stopped and lowered her head to send a reply.
As soon as she clicked send on the message, a bouquet of flowers appeared in her sight. She thought it was Qiu Xiangrong. She looked up with great joy, but was greatly disappointed.
She also knew the person who came, a boy from the next class.
Tao Huaxin felt that he didn't have much in common with him.
The boy smiled and handed the flowers to her again: "Hua Xin, I like you, can you be my girlfriend?"
The students passing by turned around and left behind friendly laughter and whispers.
Tao Huaxin walked to the side of the road, keeping a distance from him: "Sorry, I already have a boyfriend."
The boy didn't believe it. He only heard that someone sent Tao Huaxin back home. He also asked someone to ask her roommate. It was said that the man was not her boyfriend at all, but her colleague in the supermarket.
The boy said: "Hua Xin, don't use this excuse to evade me. I know that he is not your boyfriend at all."
Tao Huaxin avoided him and stopped to look at him when he heard this: "I'm not trying to evade you. I don't like you either."
The boy stepped forward and said, "You like him? Does he like you? I don't think he likes you, otherwise why hasn't he confessed to you after so long?"
Tao Huaxin wanted to walk around him: "It has nothing to do with you."
The boy stopped her and said, "Of course it has something to do with me. I like you, and I mustered up the courage to confess to you. You..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qiu Xiangrong who suddenly appeared.
Qiu Xiangrong said nothing. He glared at the boy angrily, took Tao Huaxin's hand and left.
The boy held the flowers, chased after her for two steps, and shouted out the unfinished words: "Hua Xin, please think about it——"
Qiu Xiangrong was tall and had long legs. When he walked quickly, Tao Huaxin couldn't keep up. He almost stumbled as he was pulled by him: "Slow down."
Qiu Xiangrong then stopped and said "sorry" to her, then looked back and saw that the boy was still standing there.
He did not let go of Tao Huaxin's hand - this was the first time he mustered up the courage to hold her hand, he did not dare to let go, and could not help but hold it tighter, even his voice was tense: "You are not allowed to consider it."
Tao Huaxin suddenly became rebellious and tried to test him: "Why can't I consider it?"
Ice Face suddenly became anxious and sad: "You are already my girlfriend, how can you still consider him?"
Tao Huaxin was stunned for a moment, thinking, I am your girlfriend? When did this happen? How come I don't know? But at the same time, she also confirmed Qiu Xiangrong's feelings, and then asked what she was thinking.
Qiu Xiangrong's expression became even sadder, mixed with shock: "Last semester, when school started, I gave you a balloon and you accepted it. You can't deny it!"
Liu Wangxue burst into laughter upon hearing this, then turned around to look around, luckily there was no one around, so she rubbed the cat in her arms and continued laughing: "No, my brother-in-law, he, why is he..."
She really couldn't think of how to express it, so she pretended to hold a balloon and handed it to Tao Huaxin: "Here you go!"
Tao Huaxin cooperated and took it.
Liu Wangxue: "If you answer it, you'll be my girlfriend, hahahaha..."
Tao Huaxin laughed with her.
After laughing, Liu Wangxue asked: "Then why didn't he make it clear at the time? He just said 'give it to you', who can understand this, hahahaha..."
Tao Huaxin would laugh for a long time every time she thought of this. After she finished talking to Liu Wangxue, she felt like she was about to laugh until tears came out again. She raised her hand to wipe them away, "That's when I found out too. I went home for a few days before school started. When I was chatting with him on the phone, I casually mentioned that I wanted to eat the braised food from the store next to the supermarket. He said he would deliver it to me when I went back home after school started."
When Qiu Xiangrong was buying braised food, a man selling balloons happened to pass by.
A young couple passed by and the boy bought one for the girl. After the girl took it, the boy put his arm around her shoulders and said, "You've got my balloon, so you're my girlfriend. Haha, you won't be able to run away from now on!"
The girl hugged the boy's waist and said, "Okay, boyfriend, don't even think about running away. Anyone who runs away is a pig."
Tao Huaxin raised her hand and touched Guagua who had fallen on her legs. She said a few words and laughed twice: "Xiang Rong was inexperienced at that time, and felt silly. He just thought, hahaha..."
Liu Wangxue finished for her: "Sending balloons is the same as confessing love, hahaha..."
Tao Huaxin nodded vigorously.
Liu Wangxue leaned back on the sofa, laughing so hard that her whole body shook: "Then at least say one more sentence, 'for you'. Oh, my brother-in-law is so funny."
