【Chen Zixi×you】I have no experience in pursuing someone for the first time
You like Chen Zixi.
When you were a child, you thought he was a cute uncle with good looks and a funny personality; when you grew up and started to venture into the world, you felt that he was a rare person.
He can play the piano and the flute, write poetry and paint, is skilled in martial arts, and can also cure diseases and save lives. You have never seen a more perfect man than him.
You really want to pursue him and make him your soulmate, and it would be even better if you could marry him.
But you don't pursue others, you have never had any experience.
You're worried about who to turn to for advice. Uncle Jiang is lonely; Uncle Chu is warm-hearted but too talkative; Uncle Tian hasn't even found the person he likes... After counting them all, you realize there's no one who can serve as your military advisor.
In the end, you had no choice but to ask for help from the Red Line Heroine.
Hong Xian patted his chest loudly: "Don't worry, Boss. He's just a man. With a little trickery, it will be easy for him to do it!"
You think Hong Xian might be a bit strange because you have read too many books. You even doubt whether it is right to ask her for help.
Hong Xian was very enthusiastic about this favor. She rushed home and found a stack of storybooks: "I've thought about it, Boss. These storybooks all have lovers finally getting married. They are definitely worth learning from!"
You were a little skeptical, but you didn't say anything. You and Hong Xian each took a copy of the storybook and started reading.
The book you are reading is called "Marriage First, Love Later", which tells the story of two people who got married blindly but eventually fell in love, got married and had three children.
You took a deep breath, threw the notebook aside, and picked up the next one.
第二本叫做《暴打青梅竹马后我成了他的白月光》，里面的女将军把小白脸男主胖揍一顿，成功让对方暗恋了她十几年，最终将军得胜归来，两人成婚。
What does Hong Xian usually watch?
When you threw aside the following books, such as "The Mountain King and Her Number One Scholar Husband", "The Domineering Governor and the Cool Princess", "I Gladly Accepted the Emperor and His Brother", "It's Human Nature to Attack My Adoptive Father", etc., you realized that you had read through all the storybooks and none of them were reliable.
You were so shocked that you turned around and saw Hong Xian still reading a storybook word by word. It seemed that it was the first one she had read and she was so immersed in it that she never changed it.
"Red Line Lady, are you really trying to help me find a solution?" You couldn't help but stare at her resentfully.
"Of course!" Hong Xian came back to her senses from the allure of the storybook and stammered to explain. "I looked around, Boss, and I think..." Her eyes rolled around, and suddenly they lit up. "I remember, Boss! Uncle Chen hasn't gotten married yet, right? Why don't you ask him what kind of woman he likes and why he hasn't gotten married yet?"
That's a sound opinion, and you nodded in agreement.
So when Chen Zixi came to Buxianxian again, you approached him and asked, "Brother Zixi, why haven't you gotten married yet?"
Chen Zixi looked at you in surprise, then at the back of Uncle Jiang chopping wood not far away: "Instead of asking me, why don't you ask Jiang Wulang first? He's two years older than me. He's not even married yet, so why should I be so anxious?"
??? This can even be linked to Uncle Jiang? You ask unwillingly, "Then Brother Zixi, what kind of women do you like?"
"Little girl, you've grown up and now you know what 'love' is?" Chen Zixi raised an eyebrow and looked at you with a smile. "Let me think... that's right, you're already sixteen."
You looked at him eagerly, "So what kind of thing do you like? Can't you tell me?"
Chen Zixi waved his fan and asked you calmly, "Why do you ask this? Tell me your reasons. If they sound reasonable to me, I'll tell you the answer."
——The reason is, of course, that I like you! You really want to shout that, but you hold it back. After a brief brainstorming, you find a reason: "Well, because I already have someone I like, so I want to ask Brother Zixi for his ideas and learn from him..."
You couldn't continue. Chen Zixi stared at you, looking unhappy. Even the usual smile on his lips and in his eyes had vanished. He closed the fan again and held it in his hand, his tone still playful and cheerful: "Who do you like, little girl? Tell me and I'll help you figure it out."
Of course you can't tell it! You quickly shook your head: "No, this is a secret, I can't tell you."
Chen Zixi leaned closer and asked you, "Brother Zixi, you can't tell me either? Tell me secretly, and I promise not to tell Jiang Wulang."
You shook your head firmly in rejection.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but you feel that the light in Chen Zixi’s eyes seems to have dimmed a little.
He tapped his palms with his fan, looked up to the sky and sighed, his tone exaggerated: "I knew that even though you kept calling me 'Brother Zixi', you didn't really treat me as a brother at all. You didn't even share your secrets with me? You didn't say that before. You even said, 'If there is anything, you must tell Brother Zixi.'"
...But this doesn't include liking him! You were a little speechless, but you couldn't stand him like this, so you had to pull his hand and shake it gently: "Brother Zixi, I didn't mean to hide it from you...I just didn't tell anyone, not a single person!"
"Okay, since you don't want to say it, I won't force you." Chen Zixi touched your head and didn't ask any further questions.
Chen Zixi went to chat with Uncle Jiang. You should take this opportunity to sneak out and find Hong Xian.
"...because he kept asking me questions, I could only pretend that I had someone I liked, but I failed to find out what kind of person he liked..." You gave Hong Xian a brief explanation in a depressed mood.
Hong Xian nodded, seeming to understand: "Then if we ask Uncle Jiang——"
"Don't even think about it!" You quickly shook your head. "Uncle Jiang is so perceptive, he'll definitely know immediately!"
"Ah, that's true..." Hong Xian couldn't help but sigh along with you.
After sighing a few times, she suddenly asked you, "But Boss, next time if Uncle Chen continues to ask you who you like, what are you going to say?"
“…” That’s a really good question. You’re stumped.
After a while, you and Hong Xian sighed together.
But Chen Zixi didn't ask you any more questions in the next two days. He just looked at you with a look that you didn't quite understand, and then looked thoughtful.
After you were nervous for two days, Chen Zixi finally asked you: "What kind of man do you like?"
...It's really a bit of a reversal. You were confused for a while before you tentatively asked, "...someone good-looking?"
Chen Zixi nodded: "Anything else?"
You thought this conversation was a bit strange, hesitated for a moment, and continued, "Also, he's humorous and nice to me...that's about it."
Uncle Jiang came back at this time. As soon as he walked in, he saw you talking to Chen Zixi. He walked over and tapped your head with his finger: "Did you practice sword today?"
You were stabbed in the vitals and immediately became speechless.
Uncle Jiang looked at Chen Zixi again: "You've been here for a few days, and she's been lazy for a few days. I think you should come less often."
Chen Zixi didn't take it seriously and even advised him: "You can't be too strict when educating children. It's better to relax a little."
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel over teaching philosophy again, you quickly sneaked away to practice sword skills to avoid being caught by Uncle Jiang and bringing up the past.
The next day, Hong Xian came to see you early in the morning and brought a bunch of new notebooks.
"These are all from my mother. They are said to be the most popular storybooks nowadays. My mother also said that the heroines in the storybooks are very likable and all the male protagonists like her, so big brother, you should take a good look at them and learn from them!" Hong Xian shook her head like a little adult.
You couldn't help laughing, thanked her solemnly, and moved all the notebooks back to your room.
"In pursuit of my first love, I hired someone to break his legs", "A master is not only a master, but also a husband", "No matter how powerful the official is, he can still be taken down"... There are all kinds of outrageous titles. Most of them you don't want to read as soon as you see the title. You think the spiritual life of ordinary people seems to be quite rich.
After searching for a long time, you finally found a book that seems to be of some reference value - "Conquering Young Master Qingxi by Getting Sick"... Uh, isn't it a bit cruel to yourself to get sick on purpose?
You tossed the last one aside with a dull look in your eyes. Just then, someone opened the door and walked in. He caught the tossed notebook. With a casual glance, he asked, "Is the person you like a Qingxi disciple?"
Who would have thought that the person who walked in was Chen Zixi? You were so startled that you accidentally knocked over the teacup, and the broken pieces scratched your calf.
...You shouldn't wear only shorts just to facilitate martial arts practice.
"Be careful!" Chen Zixi threw the notebook away, walked over quickly, held your calf and checked it carefully.
You feel the warmth of his palm, and you are so nervous that even your calves are stiff. You just stand there in a daze, letting him do what he wants.
"You're still so reckless. Fortunately, it's just a superficial wound." Chen Zixi looked at you helplessly. "I brought some medicine with me, so I'll give it to you to avoid leaving scars."
You nodded especially obediently, watching him take out the powder and apply it carefully to you, blowing on it gently and asking you softly, "Does it hurt?"
You instinctively shake your head.
He seemed relieved and told you not to touch water for the next few days. He wandered around the room for a few steps and asked again, "You haven't answered my question just now. Is the person you like a disciple of Qingxi?"
His eyes were burning, as if he was determined to get an answer from you.
You didn't dare to express your improper thoughts directly, but you also had no intention of lying to him, so you nodded.
Chen Zixi looked thoughtful. After a moment's silence, he smiled and reminded you, "It's your freedom to attract the attention of the one you like, but you have to promise me you won't actually make yourself sick. Even Qingxi disciples wouldn't appreciate a sick person not taking care of themselves."
Of course you know! You covered your face and argued weakly: "I really didn't think so, it was just an accident..."
Why does something seem off? Slowly realizing that answering like that sounds like you're into him, you quickly look up to gauge Chen Zixi's reaction.
Chen Zixi was also looking at you, and when you suddenly made eye contact with him, your face felt a little hot.
He looked you in the eyes and smiled, “Yeah, I understand.”
You didn't understand what he understood, but he picked up the book "Strategies to Conquer Young Master Qingxi by Getting Sick" and flipped through a few pages.
You haven't read a single word of that book and don't know what's inside, but that doesn't stop you from feeling a little panicked, as if your loved one has seen you looking at pornographic pictures, and it feels awkward no matter how you think about it.
Chen Zixi read even faster than you, reaching the end in just a few minutes. He smiled and shook his head, "It's indeed a storybook. It's quite dramatic, but it's somewhat illogical. You'd better not refer to its content."
You didn't intend to refer to it!
Chen Zixi changed the subject and asked you, "Are you interested in my bell?"
...In fact, you are interested in all his things, not only the bell, but also the fan, and you are not afraid of the belt purse. You admitted it honestly.
Chen Zixi smiled and shook his head, then did something that surprised you—he took off the bell from his waist and handed it to you: "Well, this is for you."
"Why give it to me?" You were a little surprised and reached out to hold the bell. The golden, round bell, small and exquisite, rolled in your palm, making a crisp ringing sound.
"Because you're interested, I'm giving it to you." Chen Zixi reached out and tapped your open palm. He looked down at you, his curved eyes gleaming with a light you couldn't quite grasp. "This bell has been with me for years. It's my favorite thing. Giving it to you means I'll always have it in my mind, and it'll help me remember to visit you."
You blinked, a little disappointed. “Are you only thinking about the bell?”
Chen Zixi slowly shook his head, leaning closer to you and smiling at you, "Of course I'm not just thinking about Lingling."
Your heart feels like it is filled with hot tea, warm and cozy.
You hold this golden bell in your hands, feeling it is as hot as a little sun. For a moment you feel a little bit overwhelmed, but also very sweet.
You think you will continue to like Chen Zixi for a long, long time.
