care
Xu Xi was stunned by this question. Of course she cared.
It was this sentence that suddenly reminded her of the decision she made when she was reborn. Since she had decided to enjoy all the good things, she should have been more proactive. If she didn't take the initiative, would she have to wait for good things to come to her?
Facts had proven before her rebirth that if she hadn't actively pursued beautiful things, she would never have them until she died.
What's the saying? A little effort can turn a bicycle into a motorcycle. Maybe a little initiative will do the trick.
Xu Xi gritted her teeth, clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, and answered the question Chen Shuning had just asked.
“I care.”
However, there was only a puzzled sound from the other end. "Huh?"
This means that such expression is not enough. It still cannot make the other person understand your feelings.
Xu Xi looked at the white clouds in the sky and secretly said to herself in her heart: It’s no big deal. There are only two possible outcomes. No matter which one it is, she can accept it.
Xu Xi formulated her words in her heart, took a deep breath, and then she said:
"Um... Chen Shuning, actually, I called you last night because I had something to tell you. When I saw you in the barbecue restaurant, I had feelings for you at first sight. Let me be honest with you, I actually want to pursue you. I drank last night to give myself courage. I originally wanted to tell you that I like you, but I didn't expect to pass out drunk. I don't remember what I said when I called. So, I'm sorry about what happened last night, but today I still want to ask you again, can I pursue you?"
Xu Xi spoke almost in one breath without any pause, only hesitating for a second at the beginning. Later, she felt that what he said was so smooth.
I couldn't believe that I could actually say all these words.
Then, Xu Xi bit her lower lip and waited for Chen Shuning's reply.
However.
One second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds passed. Still no sound.
Xu Xi was stunned. Why was there no sound? Was this a silent rejection?
She raised the phone next to her ear and took a look at it in confusion.
Oh my god! Her phone is out of battery!
Xu Xi looked at her phone, which had gone black due to a dead battery, and she was about to collapse. God knows how much courage she mustered to say those words.
Since seeing Chen Shuning last night, this is the first time she's spoken so much, and so smoothly. This lousy phone actually did this to her.
Wow, when did her phone run out of battery?
Did Chen Shuning hear what he said just now?
Xu Xi burst into tears, but there was nothing she could do. She found her own charging cable and charged her phone.
Then, she sighed and looked for clothes, preparing to take a shower first, because she drank too much last night and fell asleep on the sofa, and now she still smelled of alcohol.
After taking a shower, Xu Xi went over and picked up her phone to take a look. The phone still had some power, but there were no messages on WeChat.
Chen Shuning probably didn't hear what he said.
Xu Xi lowered her head and looked at the phone screen in a daze.
Forget it, maybe she was too eager for success and even God was displeased with her.
If you want to pursue someone, you probably can't be together with them just through words.
Perhaps, she should make a good plan to pursue Chen Shuning.
She can be direct, but not just in words. She must show her love through her actions. She must make the other person feel that her love is not just empty words.
So, every time I tried to express my love for you verbally, I was interrupted invisibly. Maybe that's a good thing.
After Xu Xi figured it out, she curled up on the sofa and read the comics and novels that Xiao Mu had sent her.
The stories in these comics and novels really have a lot of ways to pursue someone. However... none of them seem reliable to Xu Xi.
It is not advisable to use alcohol to boost your courage when expressing your feelings.
Calling someone every day to say goodnight or good morning? It will be considered as harassment, so it is not advisable.
Invite mutual friends to hang out together and create opportunities to spend time together? Uh... not advisable.
She and Chen Shuning had no common friends at all. Xiao Mu knew her because a classmate in her class knew a classmate from another class, and then the classmate from another class brought Chen Shuning over.
Xu Xi covered her face and sighed. Where did Xiao Mu find these things? There was no practical solution at all.
It’s better to go find it yourself.
Xu Xi thought so, and since she was not in a hurry to find a job now, she got up and found some clothes to change. She thought she should go out to the bookstore to look for a job.
She has been studying hard for so many years, and there is nothing she cannot find the answer to in books.
There must be a way to pursue someone.
Besides, she should go out more often. In fact, she has not really appreciated the beautiful scenery of this city.
