Chapter 228 The Opportunity to Pursue
Jiang Hui sorted out his thoughts and said, "Bai Xi, can you give me a chance to pursue you?"
Seeing Bai Xi about to speak, he hurriedly said, "I won't force you to agree now. Don't rush to reject me, we can still be friends, just like before..."
"Is it okay?" he asked carefully.
Bai Xi was silent for a long time, and Jiang Hui's mood started to fluctuate and he began to feel anxious.
He opened his mouth, ready to say something.
At this time, Bai Xi spoke.
She leaned against the gate of the villa's outer wall, her tone a little low, "I can give you a chance. But Jiang Hui, I prefer being friends with you rather than being lovers."
She tells the truth.
Although he is only one year older than me, he is prudent in his work and is tolerant and patient with his friends.
It's comfortable to be friends with him. You don't have to worry about doing anything wrong. Even if you do something wrong, he will help you clean up the mess and avoid danger.
If friends become lovers, it would be fine if the ending is good, but the worst thing is that they would have a falling out and no longer even be friends.
To be honest, she was very conflicted.
It's impossible to agree directly.
But if I refuse directly... I still can't be friends with you.
Then why not give it a chance?
At least there is still a quarter of a good ending.
Bai Xi was thinking a lot, but Jiang Hui was stunned when he heard this. The next second, he suddenly grabbed Bai Xi and said, "We have an agreement. You are not allowed to regret it!"
Bai Xi pulled his arm out and nodded, "No regrets."
Jiang Hui smiled widely, "Then I'm going to start pursuing you. Just don't reject my approach."
What could Bai Xi say? She was in a rather weird mood.
She had been pursued by many people, especially after she went to college, and she rejected almost all of them.
But Jiang Hui...
She thought about it again and again and decided to just do it.
Jiang Hui was really happy. He said, "It's cold at night. I'll take you home."
"No need, it's just a few steps away, you can go back too."
"Bai Xi, I'm pursuing you. This is what I should do."
As he said that, he walked Bai Xi to the downstairs of the villa, stopped, and asked: "We are going to see the e-sports club tomorrow, right?"
Bai Xi nodded, looked at the crown in his hand that could not be returned, and said, "No change."
"Then I'll pick you up to go to school together in the morning, so you don't have to drive yourself?"
Bai Xi: ...
Jiang Hui saw her frowning and quickly said, "I have to go to the e-sports club this afternoon, so it would be more convenient to drive a car."
also.
After Jiang Hui made an appointment with her, he looked at the time and saw that it was almost 11 o'clock. "Then I'll go back first. You should have some rest."
After seeing Jiang Hui off and washing up, Bai Xi couldn't fall asleep. She tossed and turned in bed, and finally took out her cell phone and called Chen Manning.
"Xixi, what's wrong?" The voice coming from the other end was a little hoarse and sleepy, as if the person had been woken up by himself.
"You fell asleep?"
"Yeah. What's wrong? Tell me."
"It's okay, just go back to sleep." It's really late today.
After seeing Jiang Hui off, she took a shower and then lay down on the bed. It was already eleven o'clock.
Normally she would be asleep at this time.
"Wait." Bai Xi heard the sound of Chen Manning gulping down water, and then her voice became clear, "Tell me, what's wrong?"
Bai Xi leaned against the bed and told the story of Jiang Hui.
After hearing this, Chen Manning became excited.
She was very excited. "This is a good thing. Let me tell you, as soon as I saw Jiang Hui, I knew he liked you."
"Have it?"
"Yes. And, Xixi, do you think you like him a little bit?"
"Have it?"
"Yes. Otherwise, why are you afraid of a bad ending?"
"We are friends."
"Qin Weiran is also your friend, why didn't you hesitate when you rejected him?"
"First of all, Qin Weiran and I are just ordinary friends, and he brings too much trouble."
"You're right. Do you have any other male friends?"
"There are two." Zhang Hua counts as one, and Si Yu can also be counted as one, after all, they always go out to play together.
"If these two male friends pursued you, would you find it difficult to refuse because you were worried about losing the friendship?"
No. Bai Xi shook his head in his heart.
She would probably add: Stop joking.
"See, this is the difference!" Chen Manning heard the answer from Bai Xi's silence, "You rejected so many people pursuing you, why can't you reject Jiang Hui?"
"Bai Xi, admit it, you like him!"
"I didn't, how could I not know that I like him?" Bai Xi didn't think so.
Chen Manning had no better solution to this stubborn best friend, so she could only say, "Maybe you don't like him deeply, but subconsciously, you must like him."
In response to her, Bai Xi remained silent for a long time.
Chen Manning sighed, "Let me put it this way. If, I say if, Jiang Hui has a girlfriend now, how would you feel?"
Bai Xi closed his eyes and thought for a moment, "It will probably be a pity." He may also feel a little lost and lonely.
After all, thinking about it now, she realized that Jiang Hui occupied too much of her life.
But if friends of the opposite sex have girlfriends, in order to avoid suspicion, they have to reduce contact and contact each other alone.
Gradually, she will probably lose this good friend and he will become just an ordinary friend whom she will not remember when they are not together and will just say hello when they meet.
When Chen Manning heard Bai Xi's answer, she said with a feeling of frustration, "You can choose not to regret it!"
Uh...but I really don’t feel moved now.
Forget it, don’t bother Chen Manying.
Bai Xi looked at his watch and said, "You go to sleep first, I'll see what happens."
Chen Manning yawned loudly, "Think about it carefully, carefully! Think it through! Don't leave any regrets. I have to go to bed. I have an English class at 8 a.m. and I can't be late."
"Okay, then I'll hang up."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Manning fell asleep quickly, but Bai Xi still tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep until after two o'clock, when he fell into a drowsy sleep.
When she woke up the next day, she looked in the mirror and saw big dark circles under her eyes.
She applied a layer of foundation to cover it up.
When she went downstairs, Jiang Hui was already waiting for her. He took Bai Xi's bag skillfully, put it beside her, opened the door for her, waited for Bai Xi to get in, closed the door for her, and then returned to the driver's seat.
Bai Xi felt a little uncomfortable, and she said, "I can open the door myself."
"But I want to open the door for you! Can you please not refuse me?" There was a hint of grievance in Jiang Hui's voice.
Bai Xi was upset. Brother, this is not your character, right?
At four o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at the IAG base together. The IAG base was a few kilometers outside the urban area of Yanjing. It was not far from the city and the transportation was convenient.
Their living place is just like in the novel, in a villa, the lpl team is in one villa, the kpl team is in the villa next door, but their office is in the technology park next door.
Bai Xi and Jiang Hui went directly to the villa.
