No
"What's the matter?" Xiao Mu asked Xu Xi.
Xu Xi hadn't figured out how to ask yet, so she decided to find a topic to talk about first. "Are you feeling better now?"
Xiao Mu ignored this and asked Xu Xi directly: "Bullshit, tell me what you want to ask."
Xu Xi was speechless. Forget it. He had been so direct with Chen Shuning this morning, so he might as well ask directly now.
"It's about Chen Shuning." Xu Xi turned over in bed. "I want to ask, if it were you, given Chen Shuning's actions these days, like giving her contact information, going to her house for coffee, sending her jasmine syrup, and even taking the time to teach you how to cook, would you mistakenly think she liked you?"
What's going on? Is he about to get wise? Xiao Mu answered without hesitation. "Yeah, I do. So what?"
Xu Xi asked again. "That is to say, in a situation like this, it's actually quite normal to have this thought that 'she likes me'."
Xiao Mu hummed twice, half-smiling, got up from the bed, went to the bathroom, picked up the toothbrush and prepared to brush his teeth. "Do you feel that Chen Shuning likes you?"
"Not really. But I feel like she's quite special to me. I don't know if it's just my imagination," Xu Xi said after a moment's hesitation. "I slept at her house last night. When I woke up this morning, his sister came over and saw us together, and then..."
Before Xu Xi could finish her words, Xiao Mu's voice interrupted her with a scream. Xiao Mu's eyes widened and the toothbrush in her hand fell to the ground.
"What? You two slept together?" So fast?
Xu Xi never expected that Xiao Mu only extracted four words from what she said: They fell asleep.
Where did you hear this?
When she heard these two words, her cheeks couldn't help but get hot. She explained in shame and anger: "No, what are you talking about? I was talking about me sleeping at Chen Shuning's house last night. I was just sleeping. Where did your ears go?"
"……oh."
Xiao Mu's gossipy spirit, which was like a volcano erupting, instantly disappeared like a deflated balloon.
"Then what do you want to tell me? You just want to ask me if I think Chen Shuning likes you?"
Xu Xi breathed in and out, and said in confusion: "About the same. Just this morning, I told Chen Shuning that I like her, but..."
Before Xu Xi could finish her words, she was interrupted again. Xiao Mu's surprised voice came over again. "You confessed? Sure, I thought you were going to continue pursuing me slowly at your own pace."
Xu Xi was speechless. "Can you please listen to what I have to say?"
Gossip is like Xiao Mu. "You tell me what you want to tell me."
"I kind of expressed my feelings, but she didn't accept or reject me, and asked me to come back first. This didn't lead to any results, but I'm anxious to know the result, so I want to ask you, do you think Chen Shuning will like me?"
"Yes," Xiao Mu answered without even thinking. "She didn't accept or reject it, which means she takes this matter very seriously and needs to think about it carefully."
"Really?" Xu Xi was skeptical.
Xiao Mu was speechless. How could she have such a clueless childhood friend? She gave the mirror on the sink a disgusted look, then said into the phone, "Of course it's true. Think about it, if there was someone you didn't feel anything for from the beginning, and it was just a matter of courtesy, do you think you could get along well with her these days? If she didn't like it, there's no need to keep going back and forth like this."
Listening to Xiao Mu's analysis, it seemed to make sense, but she still felt a little unsure. Xu Xi blinked and frowned as she looked at the white ceiling.
"Is there a possibility that she is simply kind-hearted and willing to help others?"
"Hmm." Xiao Mu chuckled and casually said something very realistic. "Who is kind enough to help others by going to bed? Anyway, I won't let anyone sleep in my bed casually. Unless it's someone I like, that person can't even sit on the edge of my bed."
Xu Xi was stunned for a while, thinking carefully about what Xiao Mu said, and finally figured it out. She sat up, said something simple into the phone, and then hung up.
Xu Xi: "I understand. Let's leave it at that for now. Bye."
Xu Xi got up, found some clothes to change, and then hurried out to buy some things, planning to go back and see her parents.
Because she suddenly understood why Chen Shuning hadn't refused or accepted. As she said, two girls face a lot of pressure when they're together. In her opinion, the first and biggest pressure is from their parents. If their parents don't agree, then all their efforts will be in vain. Unless they want to give up family affection, how can they give up the people who gave birth to them and raised them?
