Prepare
"What's wrong with me?" Xiao Mu glanced at her with a sidelong glance and asked Xu Xi calmly. "Isn't dreaming easy and fast?"
Xu Xi glared at Xiao Mu speechlessly. "Forget it, I'll figure it out myself."
Xiao Mu asked while busy with the things at hand: "Why do you suddenly want to open a store?"
"..." Xu Xi was stunned and didn't say anything. If she told Xiao Mu directly that it was because Chen Shuning said "looking forward to her starting a business" that she suddenly wanted to open a store and start a business, before that, she actually had no idea what kind of job she wanted to do in the future, as long as it was easy.
If I say this out loud, Xiao Mu will definitely laugh at me. I can't tell her like this, Xu Xi thought of a random reason in her heart.
"I want to make money."
Xiao Mu: "Wasn't your previous professional job quite profitable? Why did you stop doing it?"
Xu Xi recalled the despair she felt when she fainted before her rebirth: It’s a lucrative job, but it’s exhausting.
"because……"
Xu Xi stammered in response, unable to articulate a clear answer. She thought silently for a moment. Before she met Chen Shuning, she had thought about finding an easy, simple job and enjoying life. Back then, she could still tell Xiao Mu that she wanted to enjoy life and didn't want to do such a tiring job, but how should she say it now?
She wanted to make money again, but she didn't want to be so tired. Besides, if she went back to her previous job and worked overtime so late every day, she would hardly have time to pursue Chen Shuning.
Xu Xi frowned, her mind was in a mess and she felt very conflicted.
It turns out that people's way of thinking can change so many times within 24 hours.
She blinked, not knowing how to describe her current mood.
After pausing for two seconds, she did not answer Xiao Mu's question, but asked her instead.
"Xiao Mu, can you accept someone who earns 3,000 a month pursuing you?"
Xiao Mu turned to look at her in surprise. "What? You want to know? Why not just ask Chen Shuning directly?"
Can you guess her intention by asking in such a roundabout way?
"I," Xu Xi covered her face completely. Finally, she sighed and sullenly expressed her inner concerns.
"Actually, I changed jobs because I wanted to find a relaxing one, enjoy some delicious food every day, travel when I have time, and just enjoy life. I haven't thought about dating or getting married yet. But last night I saw Chen Shuning and thought she was so beautiful, very much my type. So, I feel like I've lived so long without even a single relationship, it seems like my life has been wasted."
Xiao Mu: "Well, then?"
Xu Xi: "And you know what? Chen Shuning drives a Porsche and lives in a high-end residential complex."
"What does this have to do with you pursuing her?"
"Of course it does." Xu Xi pursed her lips. "I can't possibly pursue her when I have nothing. And even if she doesn't care about these things, doesn't care whether I'm rich or not, I can't bear to let her live in a rented house with me."
When Xiao Mu heard her words, he burst out laughing.
"You haven't even started dating yet, and you're already worrying about the house, car, and your future? If you're really together, why don't you just live at her house?"
"That won't work." Xu Xi rejected Xiao Mu's idea without hesitation. "I have to create better conditions than hers. I can't let her be backwards compatible. That would make me feel terrible."
"Oh, you're quite ambitious," Xiao Mu said calmly, then reminded her, "If you're looking for a partner based on outward appearances, there are plenty of people who are better than you. Aren't you afraid that someone else will snatch her up before you even catch up? Besides, it's rumored that she likes girls and has rejected many, but have you ever asked her if she's single? What if she's just keeping it a secret and dating someone secretly?"
I haven't thought about this question...
"Probably... not." Xu Xi was completely stunned by these words. Anxiety suddenly filled her heart.
She and Chen Shuning had known each other for less than 24 hours, and before that, she had always felt they were destined to be together, that everything about them seemed to coincide perfectly. But now that she thought about it, she realized she didn't know anything about the most important things: whether she actually liked girls, or whether she had a boyfriend.
The most important thing now is to know whether Chen Shuning has a partner. If she really has one, then if she pursues him/her, wouldn’t that be breaking them up?
Only by knowing this first condition can we launch the plan of "chasing Chen Shuning".
Xu Xi looked at Xiao Mu. She had originally wanted to talk about her business plans, but she hadn't learned anything. Forget it, she should go back and figure out how to indirectly ask Chen Shuning if he had a boyfriend. She dropped her work.
"You keep busy. I'm going back now."
Xiao Mu looked at her silly childhood friend, rolled her eyes at her with dismay, and reminded her by name:
"Xu Xi, you can ask Chen Shuning this question directly. There's no need for rhythm."
