Even on New Year's Eve, Chen Baobao still arrived at Xiyuan early in the morning to spend the New Year's Eve with Di Shi. Shi Xi invited the two of them to spend the New Year together, but neither of them agreed.
Later, Di Shi spent the New Year at Chen Baobao's house.
Chen's mother and father welcomed the new family member and told Di Shi many funny stories about Chen Baobao, recounting all the silly things she had done since she was a child, making Chen Baobao almost too embarrassed to face Di Shi.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, Di Shi went to Chen Baobao's room, arms crossed, looking like he was about to interrogate her.
"Chen Baobao, you're quite the liar? Don't your parents love you? Does your family abuse you? You have to find a boyfriend, otherwise, they'll marry you off to an old man in exchange for the company's profits?"
One question after another made Chen Baobao lower her head guiltily, almost burying it in her neck.
Chen Baobao didn't want Di Shi to spend the New Year alone. Although Xiyuan had many of Di Shi's friends, she still wanted him to spend the New Year with her.
She told many lies, but as soon as Indra arrived at her house, all her lies were exposed.
Of course, she didn't intend to deceive Di Shi for long. However, they had known each other for a long time, and Di Shi still didn't know about her family situation. He didn't remember what she had said to him before, and he really didn't like her at all.
Chen Baobao held a doll in her arms. "I told you about my family before, but you just let it go in one ear and out the other. You didn't listen to anything I said, which is why you were deceived by me."
She lowered her voice and said, "I didn't mean to lie to you. I just wanted to spend the New Year with you. I didn't want to see you spend it alone."
Di Shi leaned against the bedside table, his hands in his pockets, staring intently at the aggrieved Chen Baobao.
After a while, he brushed aside the stray bangs on his forehead.
"I'm the one who was deceived, so what are you complaining about?"
Chen Baobao tilted her head, staring blankly at the man beside her. She leaned casually against the bedside table, her eyes filled with laughter, but there was always a faint sadness in them.
"I feel wronged because I started pursuing you last October, and it's already the end of February, and I still haven't won you over."
Frustrating!
She even began to doubt whether her approach to pursuing Indra was wrong!
Di Shi sighed, "I don't want to think about feelings right now. Don't waste your time on me; it won't lead anywhere."
"How do you know there won't be a result? Only after you've tried will you know if there will be a result. You don't need to try. Just stand still, and I will try my best, very, very hard, to get closer to you. Just don't push me away. As long as you stand still, I will come closer to you."
As she spoke, Chen Baobao buried her head in the doll, waiting for her tears to fall and be absorbed by the doll. After she stopped crying, she looked up at Di Shi.
She used to look down on girls who cried and whined for boys, but when it happened to her, she realized that loving someone can make you lose your mind and do all the things you used to despise.
“Indra, you may not accept my advances, but you cannot stop me from pursuing you.”
Di Shi straightened up, looking at Chen Baobao seriously for the first time. Before, he would just ignore whatever Chen Baobao said, as if there was a TV playing next to him.
Now, he listened attentively to Chen Baobao and felt a little sorry for this silly girl.
"I'm not as good as you think, nor am I a partner worth spending my life with. You know, I take on missions every month, and those missions are very dangerous."
Who knows, one day I might not come back. If you're with me, worrying every day about the possibility of me not being there, will you still insist on staying close to me?
