No
Xu Xi stood up and picked up her bottle of jasmine syrup and the book she had bought. As if something was on her mind, she said to Xiao Mu in a sullen tone, "I know."
After leaving Xiao Mu's barbecue restaurant, Xu Xi walked home alone. She hesitated for a long time on the way. In fact, after listening to Xiao Mu's words, she felt a little anxious and uneasy. Now she couldn't wait to know whether Chen Shuning had a partner.
But she didn't have a good reason to call. She knew she could ask directly, but there was a way to ask. She could ask directly, but she had to ask during a casual chat. Otherwise, if she had a partner, asking like this might cause misunderstandings.
Besides, now is not the right time to express my feelings.
Xu Xi returned home feeling depressed. After taking a shower in the evening, she finally found a reason to call Chen Shuning.
Xu Xi looked at the piece of Chen Shuning's clothes that she had taken off, took out her cell phone and called Chen Shuning.
Chen Shuning answered the phone quickly, her voice soft and gentle. "Hello."
Xu Xi reached out and grabbed the piece of clothing. Just by listening to the sound, her heartbeat was a little disordered. She almost called out Chen Shuning by both name and surname. She steadied her tone.
“…Shuning.”
Chen Shuning: "Well, have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
Xu Xi secretly breathed a sigh of encouragement before asking, "I called you to ask if your clothes can be washed in the washing machine?"
"OK."
"oh."
After asking the questions, what next?
Xu Xi fell into another hopeless silence. When she had just picked up the phone, she had clearly a lot to say, but after calling and asking a question, she felt that anything else she said would be awkward.
Xu Xi hesitated, then said stubbornly, "Then I'll just put it in the washing machine and wash it later."
"good."
Xu Xi glanced at the dark night outside the window, feeling a little embarrassed. She only just remembered the book she had bought, "The Handbook for Chasing Goddesses," and suddenly regretted not flipping through it before calling Chen Shuning.
What should I do? When I was in school, I was so focused on studying that I didn't make many friends. After entering society, I was so focused on working that I only cared about making money. I only talked about the main topic in a down-to-earth manner and never found topics to chat about.
How do other people find topics to talk about when they call someone? What do they talk about?
Xu Xi frowned, anxiously glancing around, trying to find a different topic to continue the conversation. She looked towards the sofa, and suddenly remembered something. She put down the clothes in her hands, walked straight to the living room, and picked up the "Goddess Chasing Manual" on the coffee table. She had no choice but to learn and apply it.
Xu Xi flipped through the book "Goddess Chaser Manual" and sat down on the sofa as if she had finally grasped the last straw. The movement of the book was a bit too rough, and the sound of the pages rustling could be heard on the other end of the phone.
Chen Shuning asked her, "Are you reading?"
Xu Xi was stunned, blinked guiltily, and her eyes fell on the table of contents of the book: The first step to pursuing a goddess is to find out whether she is single, and then find out about her hobbies and cater to her preferences.
Well... this is not the original question. Everything starts with confirming whether you are single. Only when this question is resolved can you move on.
This book only teaches you how to pursue someone and what steps to follow, but it doesn't teach you how to chat.
"Yeah." Xu Xi closed the book in her hand depressedly and found a random excuse to respond to the question. "I'm reading a novel."
"Read novels?" The other party seemed quite curious. "Do you like reading novels?"
"I'm bored and want to kill time." After answering this question, Xu Xi suddenly thought of a way to ask Chen Shuning if he has a partner.
She pondered it in her heart for a moment, then tentatively said, "And by the way, learn how others fall in love."
Xu Xi wanted to use this sentence to guide the next question she wanted to ask.
Then, the answer made her very satisfied. Xu Xi felt that she was really the luckiest person in the world. How could she get the answer she wanted so smoothly?
Chen Shuning only chuckled over there, then asked her in a casual tone, "Can you learn how to fall in love from reading novels? Well, can you tell me what novels you're reading? I'd love to learn from you, too. I've never been in a relationship before. I'd love to learn too."
Everything he wanted to know was said so directly, and Xu Xi didn't even have to think about how to ask.
Xu Xi sat up straight when she heard her answer, feeling a little excited. She didn't expect Chen Shuning to have never been in a relationship before. Just like her, she had never been in a relationship in her entire life.
Another thing in common, the connection between them can no longer be described as "coincidence".
Xu Xi felt very happy in her heart. This was fate, a very deep fate.
