Chapter 42 Confession
"Hey, where is she?"

As soon as Chen Shihao came back, he found that Ah Xun had disappeared.

"Sister Ah Xun, she left me, I should go back too"

Bai Mei looked at Chen Shihao, didn't know what to say, stood up, took her bag and planned to leave, she always felt that being alone with Chen Shihao at this time made the atmosphere a bit weird.

"Are you looking for Bai Zhong? Is he still waiting for you?"

When Baimei went to the door to change her shoes, Chen Shihao opened his mouth suddenly, looking a little lonely in the eyes that glanced at Baimei.

With a handsome silhouette, a mature artistic atmosphere and slightly haggard eyes, Chen Shihao, who usually seems extremely confident and aloof, now looks a little pitiful, which is moving.

Baimei really wanted to hug him to comfort him, although she didn't know why he was so gloomy.

"no no"

As soon as Bai Mei opened her mouth, she realized that she couldn't speak clearly. She had been frightened by Chen Shihao's expression that she had never seen before.

"Look, I bought so much beer, and she left again, how can I finish it...Can you drink some with me?"

Seeing Baimei's frightened expression, Chen Shihao smiled, and his tone became much softer and more cheerful.

Baimei couldn't refuse, she nodded with a smile, went back to the table and sat down, the hot pot on the table was still gurgling and rolling, and there were meatballs Baimei put into the pot.

When Chen Shihao opened the door and entered the room, Baimei was happily chasing the meatballs in the pot with her chopsticks. As soon as he came back, she quickly put down the chopsticks.

Now, having the opportunity to return to the table, Baimei immediately turned her gaze back to the round, bulging meatball, drooling straight into her stomach.

To be honest, she wasn't full.

"Did she say anything when she left?"

Chen Shihao gave Baimei and himself a glass of beer respectively.

"No."

Baimei picked up the glass as she spoke, and drank all the beer in the glass in one breath.

"You?! Can you drink?"

Chen Shihao looked at Baimei, opened his mouth with astonishment.

"What? Oh, beer, it's a good thing, who wouldn't drink it?"

Baimei was thirsty, and Chen Shihao's glass of beer was like pure nectar.

"good stuff?"

The corners of Chen Shihao's mouth twitched unconsciously, and the bold girl in front of him had a unique temperament that made his heart flutter.

Baimei didn't expect Chen Shihao to make such a fuss about her drinking beer.

"Of course, when I was young, when I was at home, every time I planted seedlings and harvested rice, my family would cut a few catties of meat to buy a few bottles of beer. Those were the most glorious days of the year besides Chinese New Year and the whole life, don't you?" I know that feeling. After cutting the rice in the field, when you are almost tired, have a bottle of beer chilled in the well, tsk tsk tsk, how comfortable and comfortable it is. This feeling, both adults and children I like it, so, go to Baijiagou and ask, which child who can work can't drink some beer?"

Bai Mei raised her head with her eyes and brows bent, and smacked her mouth with endless aftertaste.

"Then, when I was in Baijiagou, why didn't I see you drinking?"

Chen Shihao suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly asked.

"When you came, we had just finished cutting the rice, so how would you be willing to buy wine and meat? Besides, our family was having a hard time at that time."

Baimei's voice gradually dropped, and her head slowly lowered.

"Ahem, let's not talk about that. Come on, let's continue eating hot pot and drinking beer. If she wants to leave, let's go."

Chen Shihao hastily changed the topic.The first half of the sentence evokes Baimei's heroism when she planted rice seedlings and harvested rice, but the last few words lowered Baimei's mood several times.

Chen Shihao's mouth is always inseparable from Ah Xun.

However, Baimei found it very strange that he had never heard Chen Shihao calling Ah Xun's name. He always referred to Ah Xun as "she", or "Your sister Ah Xun" or something like that.

Recalling Ah Xun's sad appearance when he left, Baimei couldn't help guessing: Did the two of them quarrel before? . But, looking at the way they talk softly together, it doesn't look like that
Just when Baimei was debating whether to tell Chen Shihao about Ah Xun crying before leaving, Chen Shihao made a gesture that surprised and delighted her.

He leaned his head on Baimei's shoulder, and the masculine charm and the fragrance of shampoo followed his undulating breath, followed Baimei's pores, and drilled hard into her heart.

Baimei's eyes widened, not knowing what to do.

She gave up the plan to pick up another ball, slowly put down the chopsticks, straightened her body, and sat motionless.

I don't know how long it took, Chen Shihao raised his head, held Baimei's face in his hands, stared at her face motionlessly, two red clouds rose from the spicy hot pot, smudged on the porcelain white face On her face, the two clear eyes stared wide open, a little terrified, a little pure, a little seductive, and a little green.

Baimei's heart was beating non-stop.

The never-before-seen sparks shot out from Chen Shihao's eyes, which made people tremble.

In a daze, Chen Shihao gently tapped Baimei's forehead with his lips, then gently embraced her in his arms, and stroked her hair with his hands.

"Hao"

Baimei was so nervous that she only opened her mouth, shouted "Hao" and was speechless.

"Baimei, will you be my girlfriend?"

Chen Shihao seemed to have restrained himself for a long time, but at this moment, he finally spoke up.

Baimei wanted to hear this sentence even in her dreams, but when Chen Shihao really said it in her ear, Baimei didn't have the confidence to agree.

Because, there is one thing that she hasn't figured out yet, and that is the current relationship between Chen Shihao and Ah Xun. Has Ah Xun really drawn a clear line between men and women with Chen Shihao?If what Yin Hong said was true, would it be possible that Chen Shihao still had Ah Xun in his heart, and he was just a substitute? .
Thinking of this, Baimei felt very uncomfortable. She really wanted to wrap her arms around Chen Shihao's neck, nodded happily and agreed to be his girlfriend, but her strong self-esteem did not allow her to do so. She had to find out what was true in Chen Shihao's heart. After thinking about it, I can rest assured.

"Don't you want to? Do you think I'm a little older, a little old? Not handsome enough? Not... rich enough?"

Seeing that Baimei didn't say a word, Chen Shihao was very frustrated and defeated, like an elf whose energy had been taken away.

Just at this moment, Baimei's cell phone rang, and when she took out the cell phone to answer it, Chen Shihao saw the word "Bai Zhong" on the screen.

Fearing that Chen Shihao might misunderstand, Bai Mei quickly hung up the phone, but as soon as she hung up, the call came back, and this happened several times.

"Quickly answer it. If you don't answer it, he will probably keep calling. Maybe there is something urgent."

Chen Shihao said softly to Baimei.

Baimei nodded obediently.

"Hey, Baimei, why didn't you answer the phone just now? It's so late and you haven't returned to the dormitory. What's the matter? Do you need me to pick you up?"

As soon as Bai Mei pressed the answer button, Bai Zhong's anxious voice came over, and Chen Shihao heard it clearly.

"Bai Zhong, I'm... a relative. Here"

Baimei looked at Chen Shihao, and faltered to the other end of the phone.

"Baimei, what's wrong with you? Have you been coerced? Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Oh, I'm not being coerced, you really know how to think. I'm really here with that relative, okay, you don't have to worry about me, I know how to go back, that's it for now, goodbye."

Bai Mei hung up the phone quickly, she was afraid that if she continued talking, Chen Shihao would change his face.

"A relative?! Hehe."

Chen Shihao looked at Baimei and smiled helplessly.

"Brother Hao, I didn't mean that, I..."

"You don't need to say, I know, I will never do this again. I know, I don't deserve it, Bai Zhong is more suitable."

Chen Shihao looked at Baimei's eyes, suddenly there was no enthusiasm and expectation, which made Baimei very scared.

"Brother Hao, I am willing, I am willing to be your girlfriend, really, I am willing."

Baimei said hurriedly.

"Really?"

Chen Shihao's eyes lit up again, like the bubble gum that Bai Yue had been thinking about for a long time when she was a child.Baimei has always liked that kind of light.

Baimei really wanted to ask about him and Ah Xun, but she restrained herself because she was worried about triggering Chen Shihao's dissatisfaction and breaking the existing atmosphere.
