Chapter 230 [Irresistible Sweetness 029]

Xiao Guxing chuckled, turned around, looked directly at her, and pondered, "If you still have even a sliver of affection for me, perhaps we can give it a try."

Shu Tang's heart was pounding uncontrollably.

The thuds were powerful, each one seemingly about to leap out.

Did Xiao Guxing confess his feelings to her?

what?
Xiao Guxing was quite patient, but seeing her staring blankly and not responding for a long time, he couldn't help but laugh and say, "Auntie will start to wonder if I kidnapped you, since I haven't seen you go in for so long."

Shu Tang snapped out of her daze. "Ah, no, are you serious?"

"Today is not April Fools' Day."

That means you're serious.

Shu Tang blinked, then immediately put on a fierce expression, crossed her arms, and glared at him menacingly. "Then you have to apologize to me now."

Xiao Guxing was taken aback, somewhat confused, not knowing what he had done to offend her.

Without thinking too much about it, he nodded and said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault."

"What's wrong?"

"..."

Xiao Guxing couldn't explain it.

Shu Tang pouted, "I was really heartbroken when you rejected me after I confessed my feelings to you."

Xiao Guxing suddenly realized.

That rejection was heartfelt, but during the more than six months he hadn't contacted her, he had thought about many things, especially the two murals upstairs and downstairs, which constantly reminded him of her every smile and glance in that house, her radiant beauty and lively charm.

Every frame and every scene haunted him.

Later, he accidentally saw the Russian self-study book he had given her before. On the title page, which was originally blank, he had drawn two chibi-style characters.

The girl had two small braids and was wearing the same clothes they had worn when they met on the plane, while the boy was wearing a suit and glasses.

The two people in the painting are from their first meeting. The second painting is on the bottom left corner of the third page of the book. It is still two small figures, and their clothes have not changed. It is about two people falling in love at first sight.

The third picture is on page five. The two confess their feelings to each other, and there is a small heart in the lower right corner, along with her signature.

Xiao Guxing stared at the painting for a long time, then curled his lips and said with a helpless smile, "Xiao Guxing, just admit it, you've fallen for her."

“You can refuse me now,” he said slowly. “I’ll come back to you tomorrow.”

The implication is that you should confess your feelings again when you see me tomorrow.

How could Shu Tang not be tempted?

She smiled, revealing two shallow dimples, and happily hugged his neck, jumping up and down. Her sweet, soft voice was filled with excitement, "That's too much trouble. Since I'll have to agree sooner or later, I'm not going to do anything unnecessary."

She jumped suddenly, catching Xiao Guxing off guard, and he staggered a few steps after being bumped by her.

Before he could even stand properly, he instinctively put his arm around her waist to prevent her from falling.

Once things calmed down, he frowned and looked up, about to scold her, but his eyes met a fair, delicate, and smiling baby face, and he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

His brows relaxed, and his voice softened, "What if you fell if I hadn't held you tight?"

"would not."

Xiao Guxing shook his head helplessly and asked with a smile, "So you've agreed?"

"From now on, you are my boyfriend, Shu Tang." Shu Tang said with a beaming smile, poking his chest with her finger. "I knew something was off at the villa last time. I thought I was just imagining things."

"Is it that obvious?"

"Isn't it obvious? He helped me carry Xiaoxiao, served me food, and even offered to take me home. He even shielded me from the rain." Shu Tang glared at him. "You dare say that anyone else would do the same? I'll kick you out right now!"

Xiao Guxing was both amused and exasperated. "Why would I care so much about other people?"

"That's more like it." Shu Tang snorted lightly, glancing at the glasses on his nose, and asked curiously, "I remember you don't usually wear glasses, only when you're working. Why did you wear them at the banquet last time, and again today when you came to my house for dinner?"

"Listen to the truth?"

"Of course, you still want to lie?"

"You like it."

"..."

What, is this some kind of peacock display?

After a moment of surprise, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You look good in glasses."

Xiao Guxing gently patted her lower back. "You've been out for a long time. Let's go inside."

"Do you still stand by your promise to come see me tomorrow?"

"Okay." Xiao Guxing gently put her down. "I'm free tomorrow afternoon. Are you going to the studio tomorrow?"

Shu Tang nodded, "Yes, it should be in the studio. I'll send you my location when I arrive this morning, and you can message me when you come this afternoon."

"Okay." Xiao Guxing patted her head. "Go inside."

"Don't touch his head, it feels like touching a little child."

"Okay, I won't touch it next time."

After watching Shu Tang go inside, Xiao Guxing smiled and walked briskly to the parking spot.

Shu Tang skipped in, humming a cheerful song.

As soon as I entered the room, I was stared at by three pairs of eyes.

Shu Tang's smile froze, then she put her hands on her hips and announced, "Don't look at me like that. I'm no longer single. I'm with him now. That's all. I'm going upstairs to take a shower."

She had barely taken a step when her mother rushed over and grabbed her arm. "He Guxing?"

"Otherwise what?" Shu Tang looked at her blankly.

"You didn't lie to me?"

"Tsk, what's so great about that?"

"Oh my, not bad, not bad at all, my daughter is really something!" Mrs. Shu said with a beaming smile. "I was wondering why you were gone for so long."

"That's right." Shu Tang proudly puffed out her chest, afraid they would keep pressing her for more questions, she shook off her mother's hand and ran away in a flash.

"Hey, why are you running so fast?" Shu's mother watched her fleeing figure. "I haven't even asked who confessed their feelings yet!"

Shu Tang ignored her mother's words, ran back to her room in a flash, sent the good news to the group chat, and without caring about the follow-up, went to the bathroom to take a shower with her pajamas.

When she came out, there were already 99+ messages in the group, at least half of them were tagging her.

She sent out a question mark, and Li Shu and Song Ting immediately asked what was going on.

Shu Tang cleared her throat and sent a pretentious voice message, "I don't know, he suddenly confessed to me today, asked if I still liked him, and said if I wanted to give it a try, so I said yes."

That soft, sweet voice gave Li Shu and Song Ting goosebumps and made them shiver. They told her to be normal and then looked down on her for being spineless.

You agreed so quickly.

Shu Tang didn't care: "Although we're together, we still need to work things out. I'm not going to do all this nonsense. Let's be direct. If we like each other, we'll be together. If we don't get along well in the future and feel we're not compatible, then we'll break up. It's a very simple thing."

That night, Shu Tang had a sweet dream.

I slept until 9:30 a.m. the next day when my mother knocked on the door and woke me up.

When she woke up, her mind was still a little fuzzy, and she had almost forgotten that she was with Xiao Guxing. It was only when she picked up her phone and saw the message he had sent her half an hour earlier that she suddenly remembered the fact.

Xiao Guxing: Are you awake? Do you want to have lunch together?
