One has to admit that Cheng Zhiming's experience in this area is indeed much richer than Zuo Baozhu's.
It just so happened that life had been relatively peaceful recently, so Zuo Baozhu just watched it for fun.
Because of this, when Liu Shaotong invited her out, she agreed about two out of five times. This was mainly because Liu Shaotong was quite discerning about food, and the restaurants he recommended were all excellent. Zuo Baozhu happily recommended them to a circle of acquaintances.
Compared with Liu Shaotong, Liu Shaokang seemed rather boring, perhaps because he was trying hard to appear mature, steady and considerate in front of her.
Oh, she originally thought she would see so many ways of pursuing.
Liu Shaokang became a little anxious when he saw that Zuo Baozhu was still unmoved.
He and his cousin were rivals, and everyone knew that whoever could get Zuo Baozhu would see the family resources tilted towards them in the future. Seeing his cousin ahead of him, he appeared calm and composed, but secretly he had been drinking a lot.
He secretly cursed Zuo Baozhu for being so uncultured. He thought that a mature and steady man like him was the epitome of a good man. How could she be taken away by her cousin?
If he had known that she liked men of this style, he should have gone this route at the time.
But it’s too late to change the route now, so I can only bite the bullet and continue going forward.
Zuo Baozhu lived a very comfortable life every day. In late September, Liu Shaotong invited her to dinner again. She was free that day, so she accepted the invitation.
But compared to the talkative and humorous appearance in the previous dates, this time Liu Shaotong looked preoccupied and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Zuo Baozhu wondered if he was going to take the next step?
She ignored him and happily ate the matcha ice cream cake. The desserts here were delicious, sweet but not greasy. She wanted to pack two more to take home later. Because of her cultivation, she now had a physique that could not gain weight, which meant she didn't need to avoid any food when it came to delicious food.
A soft sigh fell into her ears. Zuo Baozhu couldn't tell if she heard it or not, so she could only look up and ask him, "Have you had any troubles recently?"
"Nothing." Liu Shaotong said this, but his expression was very melancholy. With his handsome face, he was quite good at fooling young girls.
Unfortunately, Zuo Baozhu was mentally prepared and could estimate the score in her mind: her brother is still much more handsome than Liu Shaotong!
She continued to eat the cake with her head down.
Liu Shaotong almost vomited blood when he saw her eager-to-eat appearance.
Why didn't she ask twice?
If she asked any more questions, he would just tell her.
He originally thought that Zuo Baozhu never dated his cousin, but was willing to agree to him, so she must have some interest in him.
But now, looking at her attitude, he is not even as good as a piece of cake!
He could only try another plan.
So Liu Shaotong opened a bottle of champagne and drank it silently.
He has a good alcohol tolerance, and a bottle of champagne is not enough to make him drunk, but he deliberately pretends to be a little tipsy, with a dazed look in his eyes, "Do you think I'm ridiculous?"
Zuo Baozhu knew the real show was about to begin! Plus, she was full, so she was in the mood to watch the show. "What's so funny? Tell me and I'll make you laugh—"
"Ahem, I mean, tell me so I can help you with some advice."
Liu Shaotong's expression was almost unable to hold back. She just wanted to say it out loud to make her happy.
"Originally, I invited you over and over again just to put on a show for my family so they wouldn't scold me."
"After meeting you, I never thought you'd be even cuter and more captivating than I imagined. I was just acting, so how could I have accidentally gotten so caught up in the role?"
Zuo Baozhu said seriously: "I have good character and good looks. The fact that you fell in love with me shows that I am very good, not your problem."
Liu Shaotong's thoughts were almost choked back by Zuo Baozhu's narcissistic words.
He used his honed acting skills to control his bitter expression, "It's just that my family is in a mess, and I don't want to involve you. Let's leave it at that."
Zuo Baozhu was speechless. What did they mean by "let them just leave it like this"?
"We're just friends, right?"
Wait, did she send him any wrong messages? Probably not, right?
At this time, Liu Shaotong's head hit the table directly and he seemed to have fallen asleep.
Zuo Baozhu pushed him, but he still showed no sign of waking up. It was unclear whether he was truly drunk or just pretending.
Just asking her to carry him was impossible.
Zuo Baozhu decisively called Liu Shaokang and asked him to pick up her cousin.
Liu Shaokang was originally quite happy that Zuo Baozhu finally took the initiative to call him, but when he arrived at the scene, he found that she wanted him to take his cousin away. He was almost nauseous, but he had to pretend to be magnanimous. "I didn't expect that Baozhu, you also know my brother."
Zuo Baozhu said, "He seems to be in a bad mood and has drunk too much. You should comfort him more often."
Then she went back.
In the next few days, Liu Shaotong did not call Zuo Baozhu.
Zuo Baozhu didn't care and shared it with Cheng Zhiming and Shi Miao.
She said to Cheng Zhiming, "You really understand these tricks. He actually confessed his feelings under the influence of alcohol."
Cheng Zhiming snorted, "I know he can drink a lot. A bottle of champagne won't make him drunk. He's just pretending."
"Just wait, if you haven't contacted him in the past few days, he will definitely try to contact you again as if nothing happened."
A week after Cheng Zhiming said this, Liu Shaotong called Zuo Baozhu again to invite her to dinner, this time using the excuse of apologizing to her.
"I went out to eat with a girl and got drunk in front of you and did something so inappropriate. I apologize to you."
Zuo Baozhu shook her head. "It's not bad. You didn't act crazy because of the alcohol."
Liu Shaotong said, "I become dazed when I drink. I didn't say anything I shouldn't have, did I?"
Zuo Baozhu said: "No, you slept so soundly that you even snored."
She is such a considerate and kind girl.
Liu Shaotong: “…”
This was not what he wanted to hear.
After finishing the meal, Liu Shaotong continued, "If I said anything I shouldn't have said, just pretend you didn't hear it."
Zuo Baozhu was fed up with his hard-to-get tactics.
It would be fine if he came once, but coming so many times, wouldn't it be annoying? Even if he was good at picking out delicious food, she didn't want to endure it anymore.
She said seriously, "Actually, you said it at that time, that you accidentally got into the role, and that you fell in love with me."
Liu Shaotong's pupils were shocked, and his expression was dazed. "Did I actually say that? You, you don't take it seriously."
He said this, but he looked very affectionate.
Zuo Baozhu felt that he should be introduced to film movies. Look at his acting skills, which are so natural and much better than those young actors who are being promoted by capital nowadays.
So she said seriously, "To save you from so much pain, let's not meet. Otherwise, you'll have to continue drowning your sorrows in alcohol. Drinking too much is not good."
As she said that, she blocked all of Liu Shaotong's contact information in front of him.
Liu Shaotong was stunned as he watched her wave her sleeves and leave without taking a single cloud with her. This was not the ending he wanted!
