very nice
"So? You added each other because you lent her the clothes and she wanted to return them to you later?" Xiao Mu looked at Xu Xi with an "I see" expression. But come to think of it, his childhood friend wasn't the type to confess his feelings to someone straight away.
"Yeah. Otherwise, her pants are all dirty." Xu Xi said, picked up a skewer and took a bite, savoring it carefully. "Cold skewers don't taste very good."
Xiao Mu glanced down at the skewers, then looked back up at her with disdain. "Who told you to run around instead of eating properly when you should be eating? I'll go heat it up for you."
"No need." Xu Xi glanced around. The shop was so busy right now. It was fine if she couldn't help, but asking Xiao Mu to do this would only make her even more flustered. After thinking it over, she decided to pack it up and heat it up herself.
"Find me a bag and I'll pack it up and heat it up myself when I get home."
Xiao Mu didn't refuse and found a bag to put the money in. When she handed the bag to Xu Xi, she carefully leaned her head over and whispered in her ear, her tone a little uncertain: "Are you really planning to pursue Chen Shuning?"
"Yeah." Xu Xi answered confidently. In the past, she had never looked directly at any girl, fearing she would have impulsive thoughts if she saw a pretty girl. Today, she only looked at her once, and sure enough, her fears were correct. She was immediately attracted to her.
Xiao Mu was silent for two seconds. Given her understanding of her childhood friend, it wouldn't be right for her to only be attracted by her beauty. Why did the person who devoted herself to studying and working overtime all day and night suddenly want to fall in love? It was really hard to understand. She finally asked:
"Why?" Xiao Mu: What happened that made you suddenly come to your senses?
Xu Xi blinked, pondered for a moment, and finally said simply, "Because... life is short, enjoy it while you can."
She'd died once because she worked too hard... because she regretted not enjoying the good things she'd experienced. If she'd been braver, had she truly embraced the things she loved, and not used work to numb her passions, she wouldn't have lost herself. Even the smallest thing, like Xiao Mu opening a shop at this time, she had no recollection of it.
What had she let her work do to her?
She really shouldn't have done that. She could have chosen the path of "having it all, enjoying it all."
Xu Xi held the packaged skewers in her hand and glanced in the direction where Chen Shuning had just sat. Chen Shuning went to the bathroom and had not returned yet.
"Let's go." Xu Xi waved to Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu still felt something was wrong, so he grabbed Xu Xi's hand and pulled it back. "Do you know how to date a girl?"
Xu Xi was a little confused when asked this question. You know, she had never even been in a relationship.
"have no idea……"
Xiao Mu gave her another look of disdain, then shook her hand off. He said to Xu Xi in a tone of disappointment: "I'm really impressed by you. Go back first. I'll send you something later. Take a look for yourself."
"What is it?" Xu Xi asked her curiously.
Xiao Mu rolled her eyes at her. "Good stuff."
"I know, you're the best." Xu Xi forced a smile and walked out of the barbecue restaurant alone.
She found a 24-hour convenience store nearby and bought a few bottles of beer before going home.
Back in the quiet rental house, Xu Xi relaxed completely.
In a few minutes, she put the hot barbecue on the table and poured the cold beer into the glass, thinking of Chen Shuning in her mind.
Oh, it’s so good to be alive.
The barbecue is delicious, the beer is tasty, and the beauty is beautiful.
Xu Xi was intoxicated by the food and her own fantasies.
Then, a WeChat message came, bringing her back to reality from her tipsy state.
Xu Xi reached for the phone next to her and took a look. The message was from Xiao Mu. She clicked it and took a look. It turned out to be a comic book recommended by Xiao Mu, as well as a few novels.
"Comics and novels?" She muttered to herself as she clicked on them to take a look.
After Xiao Mu recommended these comics and novels, he sent another message.
"Look at how other people fall in love, and then learn from them. Don't end up not only failing to win the girl over but also scaring her away. If you do that, I'll look down on you."
"..." Xu Xi looked at the message speechlessly and fell into deep thought.
So, there are still people in this world who can understand her feelings, right?
What was she doing before?
The feeling of happiness at being cared for suddenly filled her heart. Xu Xi's lips curled up into a bright smile. She picked up the ice beer beside her and drank it in one gulp.
Then he typed a sentence: "I will definitely be able to pursue Chen Shuning."
Then Xu Xi saw that Xiao Mu’s message was always in the “the other party is typing” state, but no message was sent.
In the end, those words just disappeared and the message still wasn't sent.
Xu Xi quietly sent three question marks. "???"
Finally, I got four words. Xiao Mu: "Good luck."
