Chapter 45: "I Dare"
"Don't take responsibility for you. Although Xiaoxiao drank a lot of wine, her mind was unusually clear today.
Theoretically speaking, Mu Chaoyang was right, if he had agreed to smile at the beginning, it would be logical that the two would not have follow-up troubles.
It's ridiculous that no matter how willful you are, you know that things don't work out this way. Sit down and think about it, no one is wrong in this matter.
If Mu Chaoyang promised her, then the two would be together, but he didn't agree.
If she didn't accept Qi Xiaofan's pursuit, then Qi Xiaofan's life and death would not have much to do with her, but she accepted it.
If Qi Xiaofan's body is not in condition, the two can fall in love like a normal couple, whether it is a breakup or a positive result, but birth, old age, sickness and death are not up to anyone.
If Qi Xiaofan let Xiaoxiao accompany him on the last journey with peace of mind, it would just be a little more nostalgic, but Pan Wei was involved again.
Step by step, it is so understandable, but the final result is so embarrassing.
Mu Chaoyang ignored the smile and explained, he lowered his head, thinking about something.
"If I ......," Mu Chaoyang said, "if I said I wanted to 'make amends', would you give me a chance?"
"What is it?" Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't understand what Mu Chaoyang meant, and it was not too late to make amends. Of course she knew what the original words were, but what did Mu Chaoyang mean by suddenly mentioning this?
Mu Chaoyang just sat there and looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao, with a look that she didn't seem to have seen before, smiling and not saying a word.
Time seemed to stop at this moment, Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at the beer at hand and forgot to continue drinking.
I don't know how long it took before Mu Chaoyang spoke again and asked, "Xiaoxiao, if I want to be your boyfriend now, will you consider it?"
"Bang dang. With a trembling hand, Zhang Xiaoxiao spilled the beer on the ground, and most of the alcohol she had just now woke up scared.
"What are you kidding!" Zhang Xiaoxiao said, "It's not funny at all, it's not funny. ”
Mu Chaoyang is not a person who jokes about this kind of thing, Xiaoxiao knows it, but she still thinks that such a "confession" is too terrifying and abrupt, so she can't believe it.
What did Mu Chaoyang say just now?boyfriend and girlfriend?she and him?!
With a "buzz", her mind went blank, not joy, not pleasure, just blank.
Thankfully, the panic didn't last long. Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at Mu Chaoyang's eyes with confirmation, there was no banter or joke in his eyes.
His proposal just now was serious.
Zhang Xiaoxiao also admired herself a little, at this time, she didn't even think of agreeing or refusing at all.
Subconsciously, her mind began to analyze whether she was dreaming, or Mu Chaoyang was transferred.
What did you do today?, she thought.
It seems that with a little bit of wine just now, she poured beans into a bamboo tube and shook the love history of her and Qi Xiaofan to Mu Chaoyang.
Counting further, Qi Xiaofan bumped into Ding Mingtian who appeared in her room, a lonely man and a widow.
And also...... Pan Wei and Ding Mingtian tugging with her in front of the community health service center.
Soon, the thoughts in Xiaoxiao's mind were connected into a line.
Looking at this situation, no matter how you look at it, it looks like Mu Chaoyang's damn sense of responsibility, and it is overflowing again?
"Don't make a fuss. Thinking about the ins and outs, Zhang Xiaoxiao instantly calmed down.
She felt that she was more than when she confessed and heard Mu Chaoyang say, "Thank you, I'm sorry." She was even in the mood to pick up the upside-down beer can, and then pick up the paper towel next to her to wipe the table.
Of course she knew what was going on, Mu Chaoyang felt that she was very bitter because of Qi Xiaofan, thinking of what he said just now, she felt that everything was caused by his refusal at the beginning.
Zhang Xiaoxiao knew that before the two of them came to N City to study, Han Qi asked him to take care of himself. But in the end, such a big basket came out, and he still had a chance to avoid it.
If such a thing is put on Mu Chaoyang, what will he do.
He...... Confessed. After a lapse of five years, there is a so-called "remedy".
"It's gone, you don't have to. Xiaoxiao even began to comfort Mu Chaoyang, "It's not your fault." ”
This experience of his own is too strange, Zhang Xiaoxiao completely understands how surprised Mu Chaoyang, who has listened to the ins and outs of the past two days, so his brain directly said such things uncontrollably.
Mu Chaoyang's reaction to Xiaoxiao was not surprising at all, for her, her confession was not only abrupt, but even a little shocking.
"You and I have known each other for so many years, do I seem to say that the wind is the character of the rain?" he asked her, unfazed.
He guessed some of his thoughts with a smile, "As for the cause and effect of that Mr. 'Qi Xiaofan', I admit that I was shocked when I heard it. ”
He admitted, and Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded, looking "I guessed correctly".
"You're actually frustrated. Xiaoxiao replied unceremoniously, "I know, you are a person who keeps your promises, and you promised my brother something, even if I was annoyed like that, you didn't say a word." ”
Using his "promise", Xiaoxiao has made a lot of demons in college, and I am afraid that no one knows Mu Chaoyang's character better than her.
Xiaoxiao even has confidence, if she really wants to play tricks back then, there are a hundred ways to tie Mu Chaoyang to her side.
But she didn't mention it to anyone, although she talked about it in front of Han Qi back then, and she also agreed with some of the statements he refused in the face of Mu Chaoyang.
"I'm afraid that in the end, I won't be able to be a couple or a friend" This is Mu Chaoyang's concern, and it is also a situation she does not want to appear in her heart.
So she simply hysterical and picked it clearly.
Maybe others don't believe it, from the moment they say it, Xiaoxiao is waiting for Mu Chaoyang to refuse.
Then she waited for Mu Chaoyang to give her a happy end, and she begged Mu Chaoyang when her mind was clear, asking him not to ignore her when she was messy.
But Mu Chaoyang's "sense of responsibility" does not allow him to do this, even if Xiaoxiao makes it clear that she just needs a cool-off period and needs a little time to get rid of her dependence on him.
And now, his confession seems to be the same as the original "want to connect" in Xiaoxiao.
There is always someone who has to be sober, if it weren't for her body, Xiaoxiao thought that she would have been carried away by such news.
"And today, when you know the truth, you probably think that you didn't do well enough. ”
Xiaoxiao said very slowly, and finally he and she said word by word: "But Mu Chaoyang, I don't need such sympathy, I didn't say angry words anymore, really." ”
"I know. Mu Chaoyang actually admitted his words frankly, "In fact, I was more shocked than blamed." He said: "I don't understand, I have worked hard to protect the girl for two years, but I haven't looked at it for a year, how can they toss it like this." ”
Mu Chaoyang's face showed indignation when he said this, and his serious smile was almost amused by his rare childish words.
I didn't want him to change his face quickly, and said, "So I thought about it carefully, I still can't take care of you." ”
……
His thoughts, Xiaoxiao guessed probably. Ridiculously didn't know Luo Yuan's conversation with him, if he talked about Qi Xiaofan, he was distressed and pityful.
So this "distress" and "pity" are just a catalyst, and he has been thinking about what kind of feelings he has for Zhang Xiaoxiao for the past two days.
Is it really a "brother and sister" as he and Han Qi said?
No, this reunion made it clear to him that he wanted to protect the girl in front of him. No matter who she was facing, whether she asked him for help or not.
His refusal back then was sincere and deliberate, so he couldn't agree to her because he was soft-hearted and afraid of hurt.
In the same way, now he wants to be with Xiaoxiao sincerely, not because of sympathy or anything else.
"I just found out that I liked you, so I wanted to ask Miss Zhang if she wanted to try to fall in love with me. ”
In fact, Mu Chaoyang was also very nervous, his relationship with Luo Yuan was too logical, and he didn't even have a too formal confession.
Unconsciously, he remembered the tone that Shu Ling had taught him when they joked, and he seemed extremely frivolous.
Listening to his words, without warning, Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly left the table and came to Mu Chaoyang.
Her nose almost touched Mu Chaoyang, very close, very close.
At this distance, the breathing of the two of them could be clearly felt, and Mu Chaoyang was surprised for a moment, but he was still very calm.
On the other hand, Zhang Xiaoxiao, because of nervousness, her breathing became rapid.
This distance was opposite Mu Chaoyang's eyes, and she never thought about it - even when she confessed, she didn't even fantasize about any intimate contact between the two.
"Huh?" Just when Xiaoxiao was so nervous that he was about to turn his back on his breath, Mu Chaoyang moved, he suddenly turned his head sideways, and smiled very dotingly, "What are you going to do?"
What to do?
His voice was too gentle, and with a "boom", all the blood of laughter rushed to his brain, and the whole person stayed in place.
And he's still laughing.
"You...... I ......, "It's useless!" Zhang Xiaoxiao disdained himself, and even began to stutter at such a time.
Taking a deep breath to cheer herself up, she smiled and felt Mu Chaoyang's warm snort blow on her face, making her blush and heartbeat.
But she still breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a strong mouth: "Don't you say you like me? ”
It's just that Mu Chaoyang, who regards her as a friend, will never dare to ......
"Hmm......" Before she could be complacent, Mu Chaoyang's face suddenly enlarged in front of her eyes, and her lips were attached to something, warm and soft.
Zhang Xiaoxiao's brain had completely stopped working, and he even subconsciously closed his eyes.
Mu Chaoyang's kiss was gentle and gentlemanly, not aggressive, and it didn't make Xiaoxiao feel offended, just like his person, like a spring breeze just right.
Wait! smiled and was taken aback, and pushed Mu Chaoyang away hard.
Mu Chaoyang kissed her?!And what the hell was she thinking about just now, "like a spring breeze, just right"?
"You! you...... You ......" Zhang Xiaoxiao jumped three feet away, his tongue was knotted, and he couldn't say anything, and shouted: "Mu Chaoyang, your brain is broken?!"
Just ...... She must have been drinking, she must have been drunk......
Zhang Xiaoxiao, who was in disbelief, pinched his arm fiercely, and gasped in pain.
It's not a dream, it's not a ...... Half in the bag?
"I dare. But the culprit was still sitting there, smiling normally, and lightly answering her question that was not four or six just now.
