Seeing this, Xiahou Jie first laughed and then comforted him, "Don't worry, you're just not used to it yet. After a while, you might even come to love the feeling of smoking, just like me."
"But then again, this stuff isn't exactly good. If you really can't stand the taste, you might as well not smoke it!"
The two stood quietly under the tree, bathed in moonlight, a gentle breeze ruffling their hair as they spoke softly.
After a while, the two slowly turned around and walked into the house side by side.
Just as he was about to step into the room, Dai Xingyun suddenly spoke up without warning: "Tell me, how exactly should one pursue a girl?"
This sudden question struck Xiahou Jie like a thunderbolt, causing him to stumble and nearly fall to the ground.
"Hey bro, it's the middle of the night, can you please stop being so jumpy? My heart can't take this kind of shock!"
After regaining his balance, Xiahou Jie complained with lingering fear.
After calming down a bit, Xiahou Jie seemed to realize something, stared wide-eyed at Dai Xingyun, and asked incredulously, "Wait, what did you just say? How to pursue a girl?"
"It's nothing, you misheard," Dai Xingyun thought to himself. Xiahou Jie was a bachelor himself, so asking him for advice on this kind of thing was probably useless. He decided to forget about it.
After returning to his room, Dai Xingyun quickly washed up and then collapsed onto the bed.
Xiahou Jie stood there dumbfounded, his face still showing the lingering shock.
Finally, Xiahou Jie could no longer suppress his curiosity and doubts, and asked again, "Brother, you're not serious, are you? You're not joking with me, are you really planning to pursue that Shen Xiaoxiao?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Xingyun, who was lying on the bed, turned his head slightly, looked at Xiahou Jie with a firm gaze, nodded seriously, and replied, "That's right, I really am serious."
"I don't know why, but from the first moment I saw her, I had a strong feeling that she must be my destined other half."
Upon hearing this, Xiahou Jie's eyes flashed with surprise, and he eagerly asked, "So, you mean you've fallen for her and are certain she's the one you want to spend your life with?"
"Well, you could say that. It's basically confirmed now. I think I like her a little, but I definitely don't dislike her!" Dai Xingyun answered honestly.
His eyes were clear and firm; he already had a definite answer in his heart.
Dai Xingyun lay lazily on the bed, her head resting on her arm. She turned to look at Xiahou Jie, who was tidying up his clothes, and said, "Tomorrow, I plan to write a letter to my grandparents, telling them in detail about my situation here, so they can rest assured."
"How about you write one too?" Dai Xingyun said with a smile, waiting for Xiahou Jie's response.
Xiahou Jie did not answer Dai Xingyun's question immediately. Instead, his expression suddenly became unusually serious. He stared straight into Dai Xingyun's eyes and asked earnestly.
"That's not urgent. What I'm more concerned about right now is, when did you start liking her?"
"Is it a deep-seated affection for her, or is it due to some other special reason that this feeling arose?"
Upon hearing Xiahou Jie's direct question, Dai Xingyun fell into deep thought.
After a while, he slowly said, "Actually, you know me too. From childhood to adulthood, I've never been very good at getting along with women. Although I wouldn't say I hate them, I really don't like to take the initiative to have any contact with them."
"But I don't know why, when I'm facing Shen Xiaoxiao, I don't feel any resistance at all."
