Pick-up
The next morning, Xu Xi was woken up by her mother. God knows every time she slept at home, she had to get up as early as her parents did, because they had already cooked breakfast. If she didn't get up to eat, it would get cold and they would keep nagging for a long time. Besides, freshly cooked breakfast tasted better than cold breakfast that had to be heated up again.
So if Xu Xi is at home normally, she will get up early like them, eat breakfast first and then go to bed, but she cannot stay in bed without getting up to eat.
At half past six, she was woken up by her mother to have breakfast. After finishing breakfast, Xu Xi slowly took out her cell phone and opened it to see that it was exactly seven o'clock.
When people have nothing to do, they tend to think about the people or things they love the most. At this moment, Xu Xi thought of Chen Shuning. She wondered if Chen Shuning had gotten up yet. She remembered that Chen Shuning was going to work today, and it was her first day at work. She must have gotten up very early too.
After thinking for two minutes, Xu Xi suddenly remembered that she met Chen Shuning's sister yesterday when she came to see her. At that time, it seemed that Chen Shuning's sister took away her car keys. In other words, Chen Shuning has no car now. How can she go to work?
Xu Xi blinked. Chen Shuning didn’t have a car now, but it didn’t matter. She did.
Isn't this a ready-made opportunity to show off his pursuit of her? Xu Xi stood up without thinking, picked up his car keys, casually said hello to his parents, and quickly went out.
I can't remember the tenth rule in the "Goddess Chasing Handbook," but Xu Xi remembered its content: "When pursuing someone, you must take the initiative to pick them up and drop them off." Be proactive, the key is initiative.
Xu Xi wanted to take the initiative to send Chen Shuning to work.
Mother Xu was heating milk for her. Just as she brought the milk out, she saw Xu Xi had already rushed out the door. She frowned and shouted, "Where are you going? You're in such a hurry! My milk is already heated up, don't you want to drink a sip?"
Xu Xi said, "No, thank you, Mom," but the last word was still there when the door was already closed.
Xu Xi returned to her car and hesitated just as she was about to drive. She took out her phone and sent a message to Chen Shuning: "Good morning, Shuning, are you up yet?"
After waiting for about a minute and receiving no response, Xu Xi drove directly towards Chen Shuning's apartment.
She found a parking space downstairs from his apartment and parked the car. Xu Xi got out of the car and walked quickly towards the apartment. Halfway through, she casually looked back at the breakfast shop where she and Chen Shuning had had breakfast together before. But she didn't expect that in such a casual glance, she saw Chen Shuning, who was walking into the breakfast shop. Chen Shuning had said before that if she was busy, she would not make breakfast by herself. Today was her first day at work, and she probably wanted to go out early, so she had breakfast outside.
Xu Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she looked back.
If she hadn't looked back and gone straight to Chen Shuning's apartment, they would have missed each other.
Xu Xi stood there quietly for a few seconds, thinking in her heart what she would say to Chen Shuning when she went over to greet her. Although her thoughts were in a mess, she still took the first step and walked towards the breakfast shop.
When they were halfway there, Xu Xi's cell phone rang. She took it out and took a look. It was Chen Shuning replying to the message she had just sent.
Chen Shuning: "I'm up and having breakfast."
Xu Xi pursed her lips slightly, silently put her phone back into her pocket, and then quickly walked into the breakfast shop. When she walked behind Chen Shuning, Chen Shuning was about to place an order.
Xu Xi said softly, "Shuning, good morning."
Chen Shuning was stunned when she heard the voice, and the menu in her hand almost fell to the ground. She was a little surprised, but when she saw the person in front of her, her irritable mood from last night suddenly improved. She smiled faintly and asked softly.
"What a coincidence? Come over for breakfast?"
Actually, it’s not a coincidence… I came here on purpose.
Xu Xi lowered her head, struggling internally for a few seconds. She'd already confessed her feelings yesterday, so there was no need to use "coincidence" to mask her feelings. But just thinking about what she was about to say made her nervous, and her ears felt hot.
She pinched her palms, encouraged herself in her heart, and silently repeated three times the words from the "Handbook for Chasing Goddesses": "The brave man has a wife first." Then, she said what she wanted to say with difficulty.
Xu Xi: "Shuning, this is not a coincidence. I came here specifically to find you."
Chen Shuning suppressed the surging emotions in her heart. She felt lucky to have met him, but Xu Xi actually said that she came to see her specially. Her heart instantly warmed up.
"Did you come to see me specially?" Chen Shuning confirmed with Xu Xi. She was not doubting it, but felt that if she confirmed it again, she would be happy again.
Xu Xi was so nervous that she stood stiffly. She nodded seriously, trying her best to express her inner thoughts clearly: "I said yesterday that I want to pursue you. I hope you can give me this opportunity. I...I want to take you to work."
Chen Shuning lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. Xu Xi thought that she was pursuing him too closely, leaving Chen Shuning with insufficient time to think, which was why he fell into such an awkward silence. She hurriedly said:
"Don't worry about answering. I have time to wait. Have breakfast first. I won't delay you from going to work later."
However, just as Xu Xi finished saying this, Chen Shuning suddenly told her.
"Xu Xi, let's talk."
Xu Xi froze. She stared blankly at Chen Shuning, wondering if she had misheard. Happiness had come so suddenly that she didn't know how to greet it. Did Chen Shuning agree to her pursuit?
Because she didn't know what to say or do, Xu Xi suddenly blurted out, "What did you just say?"
Chen Shuning felt a slight heat in her ears. She had clearly explained everything clearly. She looked up at Xu Xi uncertainly. Her mouth was slightly open, and her dark, bright eyes were now a bit dazed, as if they had short-circuited. Chen Shuning had a rough idea in her mind. Xu Xi said she liked her, so it seemed like they were going in a two-way relationship. It was normal for them to be nervous now, but Xu Xi seemed a little overwhelmed.
"I said, I like you too, let's talk."
Chen Shuning continued speaking, and this time, she tried her best to speak every word clearly.
"Really?" Xu Xi blinked, feeling like she was dreaming. She rubbed her cheek with her hands, and it turned out that she was not dreaming. When she stopped, she heard Chen Shuning respond:
"Yeah." Chen Shuning's voice was soft but firm.
Xu Xi was in a panic and confusion. She felt happy and blessed, but she also suddenly felt a sigh in her heart:
It turns out that some things are not far away from her. As long as she can speak out bravely and pursue them bravely, what she wants is only a turn away from her.
"..." Xu Xi felt that she had a lot to say, but just like in all her previous interactions, the more nervous and excited he became, the less she could come up with anything decent to say.
Did you end up together so smoothly after your first pursuit? What should you do next?
The "Handbook for Chasing Goddesses" only teaches you how to chase someone, but it doesn't teach you what to do after you catch them.
Xu Xi blinked. She was extremely excited and nervous. She said something that she thought could ease her excitement.
"I will definitely stay with you."
Xu Xi: Now that I have her, I should just treat her well all the time, is that enough?
Chen Shuning suppressed the excitement that had been building up inside him for years and chuckled softly. "Okay."
Then Chen Shuning asked Xu Xi, "Have you had breakfast?"
Xu Xi raised her eyes. "I've eaten."
"Have breakfast first. I'll wait for you and take you to work later."
Then, Xu Xi sent Chen Shuning to work as she wished.
When Chen Shuning got off work, she went to pick him up on time and bought him a small cake. She sent Chen Shuning home in an orderly manner and then went back to her own home.
Chen Shuning stood there, frowning, and looked at the car moving away, feeling suspicious.
"Xu Xi, do you consider yourself a driver?"
The family driver always picked her up and dropped her off on time like this.
