Chapter 521: Really a Love Brain
This sentence confused Shen Xing.
Eh?
"Oh, right." He scratched his head and muttered dully, "I thought the thought was what mattered most."
Chen Ci laughed and pointed out the truth directly: "When the gift giver is in financial difficulty, the recipient will comfort the other person with words like 'the thought is what matters most'."
After saying that, he felt it wasn't rigorous enough and added, "Although it's not absolute, it's mostly the case."
For the person receiving the gift, of course, "liking" it is the most important thing!
Shen Xing thought about her sister's words carefully, and it seemed to make some sense.
Seeing her son's silly look, Shen Jingjing couldn't help but ask, "Do you know what he likes?"
This one sentence confused Shen Xing again.
What does Sang Hui like?
He doesn't know.
Because Sang Hui seemed to be passionate about everything around her, she was even interested in the ugliest fish in the aquarium and looked up information on the spot to learn more about it.
She seems to like everything.
"Forget it, Mom. Let's not ask any further questions." Chen Ci looked at her mother and said, "Xingxing is in love for the first time. We should let him figure it out slowly on his own. The innocence and uncertainty of first love are the most precious."
"No, sister, I haven't caught up yet." Xingxing pleaded as soon as she heard it: "Please at least give me some advice."
My mother agreed with my sister: "Dating is a very subjective thing. The advice and opinions of others are not important. The most important thing is whether you two are compatible. That depends on you. My sister and I can't help you."
Shen Ci gave a thumbs up to express her approval of her mother's remarks: "It has to be Mom, so insightful."
Shen Jingjing glanced at her daughter and urged her to go upstairs to take a shower and go to bed early.
Shen Xing was lost in thought while holding his bowl.
The next day, he asked Jiang Ran and Shi Jingming out early.
An upscale outdoor coffee shop in SKP Shopping Mall, Zhonghui District.
"Hey, what's so good about this stuff?" Shi Jingming took a sip of American coffee, and it was so bitter that his facial features twisted together. He put down the cup with a look of disgust.
"Then I'll give you this." Shen Xing pushed his latte in front of Shi Jingming and took Shi Jingming's Americano: "Latte is not that bitter."
Shi Jingming watched Shen Xing drink the American coffee he had already taken a sip of naturally and opened his mouth, but in the end he swallowed his words.
He thought the latte wasn't tasty either.
Jiang Ran looked at Shen Xing, then at Shi Jingming, and blinked inexplicably.
"Tell me, what's wrong?" Jiang Ran leaned back on the sofa, looking at Shen Xing with an expression that seemed to have seen through everything: "Stuck again?"
Shen Xing gave an awkward smile: "It's not stuck, because there is no progress at all."
Shi Jingming held the cup and looked at Shen Xing. He curled his lips when he heard that, but didn't say anything.
Jiang Ran was obviously silent for a few seconds, and then he said: "Didn't you ask her out again?"
"I made an appointment, but it just didn't happen that she was free." Shen Xing said truthfully.
Jiang Ran immediately blurted out: "Then you are eliminated!"
"Huh?" Shen Xing was shocked. "No way, strictly speaking, I wasn't selected either."
"That's right..." Jiang Ran nodded and said softly, "I've been keeping an eye on Sang Hui for you. She's not particularly close to anyone, nor is she in a relationship. Maybe she really doesn't have time."
At this time, Shi Jingming couldn't help but speak up: "You don't have time for the seven days of National Day? How busy must she be? We are freshmen, not seniors. Freshman year is the easiest year in life. How can I not believe she is so busy?"
He looked at Shen Xing and said, "Xing, I guess I'm not interested in you. If I liked you even a little bit, I wouldn't have rejected you all the time."
"I didn't always refuse." Shen Xing quickly explained: "After the last time at the aquarium, I asked her out twice. Once she said she had a club activity, and once she said it was her grandfather's birthday. I think both are very reasonable reasons."
"Didn't you stay in school during the holidays a few days ago? Did you make an appointment with her? Did you meet her?" Shi Jingming asked.
Shen Xing shook his head.
"That's it!" Shi Jingming glared and said with certainty: "She just doesn't like you!"
"But..." Shen Xing thought of the day when they went to the aquarium. They were both very happy the whole day. He felt that Sang Hui had some feelings for him.
Jiang Ran gently pushed Shi Jingming and frowned slightly: "You are too absolute. We don't know what the situation is."
"I don't understand, do you understand?" Shi Jingming looked at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran said: "Then I definitely know more than you. At least Sang Hui and I are from the same department."
Then she looked at Shen Xing and said, "I don't mean to provoke you, but the fact is that Sang Hui is very popular. You are definitely not the only one who wants to date her. Before she makes the final decision, she has the right to observe and choose among her many suitors. You can't deny this, right?"
Shen Xing nodded in understanding.
Jiang Ran added, "That means you're under a lot of competition, and your chances of winning are uncertain. So if you really want to pursue her, you have to keep working hard instead of sitting here and thinking about it. It's useless, and someone else might get there before you even figure it out."
Shi Jingming shook his head speechlessly: "It's the same as if you didn't say anything."
He was a little unhappy and said impatiently: "Besides, why should Xing let others choose with such conditions? Sang Hui is beautiful, and Xing is not bad either. Why are you so humble?"
"It's obvious from your appearance that you've never liked anyone else. Can such a thing be matched by conditions? Liking someone depends on the feeling!" Jiang Ran said, rolling her eyes.
Shi Jingming opened his mouth slightly, but in the end he did not refute, but just kept looking at Shen Xing.
Shen Xing quickly said, "Stop arguing, both of you. I understand the logic. I really like her, so I'm willing to work hard for her. It's good to have pressure, because pressure is motivation."
Shi Jingming was speechless: "He's really in love."
Jiang Ran asked, "You asked us out today because you have other plans, right?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Jingming also looked at Shen Xing.
Shen Xing nodded. "Her birthday is at the end of the month, and I want to buy her a present. Can you two come with me? Give me some advice!"
"The birthday is a good opportunity. I suggest you find time to ask her out in advance and give her a surprise, just the two of you." Jiang Ran gave Shen Xing an idea.
Shi Jingming couldn't help but sneered: "It's a problem to make an appointment now. Don't buy gifts and then not be able to give them away!"
