Chapter 56 Fate
Just when Chen Shihao was about to make a promise to Ah Xun, the news that Baimei was admitted to the University of City A seemed to shine into his heart like a bright light.

He became hesitant and a little worried in front of Ah Xun, his brows couldn't be opened freely.

For Chen Shihao's inner activities, how could the ice-snow smart Ah Xun not know?

"There is a man who has been chasing me for a long time. He is the son of my father's business partner."

One sunny afternoon, Ah Xun asked Chen Shihao out urgently with an anxious tone.

Looking at the anxious and sweaty Chen Shihao, Ah Xun smiled calmly and said calmly.

"Oh."

Panting heavily, Chen Shihao gently sat across from her, picked up the iced lemon juice she ordered for him, and took a big sip.

"Cough cough."

Because he drank too much, he choked and coughed twice.

"You slow down."

Ah Xun still handed over a clean tissue in a considerate manner.

"Thank you."

Chen Shihao took the tissue and wiped it unnaturally at the corner of his mouth.

"I was with him last night."

There was a hint of tremor in Ah Xun's calm voice.

"Snapped!"

The cup in Chen Shihao's hand fell to the ground.

"A Xun?!."

Chen Shihao suspected that his ears had misheard, and he was astonished.

"Why, don't believe it?"

Ah Xun smiled, lowered his head and played with the pigeon eggs on his fingers.

"Look, he proposed to me, and I said yes."

Ah Xun raised his hand, the crystal stone exuded a dazzling light.

"Can"

Chen Shihao choked, feeling very heavy in his heart.

The waiter came to collect the broken glass and refilled a glass of lemonade.

"sorry"

It took a long time to spit out these words from his mouth.

"It's me who should say sorry, I abandoned you!"

Ah Xun was a little choked up, and a drop of crystal from the corner of his eye slipped down reflecting the sunlight.

"If I marry him, you will treat me as always, right?"

Ah Xun wiped away his tears, and looked at Chen Shihao with a smile.

"That's natural, you will always be the irreplaceable Ah Xun in my heart."

Chen Shihao looked at Ah Xun sincerely.

"But, it just can't replace the white plum in your heart."

Ah Xun's eyes dimmed.

"A Xun."

Chen Shihao wanted to say something nice.

"You don't need to say it, I know our childhood sweethearts, but we have nothing to do with each other, so we can only do this. From now on, let us be a pair of close brothers and sisters."

Ah Xun raised his eyes, blocking Chen Shihao's next words.

"Ah Xun, thank you!"

Apart from thanking, Chen Shihao couldn't find any better words at this moment.

"thanks?!"

Ah Xun couldn't help but snorted coldly, feeling sorry for himself.

"So be it."

Ah Xun got up, took small steps, and floated away gracefully.

Chen Shihao sat there in a daze, his mind was blank.

He felt that he would lose his sister, Ah Xun, and felt very sorry.

Who knows, Ah Xun called and chatted with him the next day, as if the events of the first day never happened.

In Chen Shihao's heart, facing Ah Xun, he always felt a little guilty. No matter what Ah Xun said to him or what request he made, as long as it was within his ability, he would try his best to fulfill it.

As long as Ah Xun is by his side, he still can't love Baimei wholeheartedly. He always feels that his love is Ah Xun's sacrifice and charity.

After having an in-depth conversation with Chen Shihao, Baimei had a bottom line in her heart.

Since Chen Shihao really loves him, there is no need for him to worry about Ah Xun's matter, let alone she is about to marry.

Now, in front of them are mainly Chen Yuxuan and Jiang Yunshi.

"Didn't you say that your father has no objection? Why are you asked to go on a blind date now?"

Baimei poked Chen Shihao's waist with her elbow.

"I don't know either. My dad really didn't say anything at the time. Maybe it was my mom."

Chen Shihao felt that the source of the problem should be his mother.

Jiang Yunshi has mentioned the criteria for a future daughter-in-law more than once. The first is that her family background should be comparable to theirs, the second is that she has a high education and a good job, and the third is that the parents of the family have a happy marriage and good health.

Except for the second point, Baimei barely met the first half, and the others were far from Jiang Yunshi's requirements.

After understanding Jiang Yunshi's three standards for daughter-in-law, Baimei lowered her eyelids silently.

A sense of inferiority that I had never had before quietly crept into my heart.

This inferiority complex was born for Chen Shihao.

In the past, the idea of ​​getting ahead was briefly eased after the college entrance examination, but now, it is burning violently again.

A fierce look shot out from Baimei's eyes.

"Hmph! Look down on people! One day, I will rely on myself and marry in a good way!"

Looking at Chen Shihao, Baimei said word by word.

"Baimei, thank you for your hard work, I believe in you!"

Chen Shihao held Baimei's hands excitedly, and looked at her affectionately.

A trace of disappointment and doubt quickly passed over Baimei's heart, so fast that she didn't even notice it.

Baimei started school with her reportage "The Old Valley".

This reportage was written with the computer that Chen Shihao brought to her. It has [-] words and tells the lives of several elderly people in Baijiagou, headed by Ma Yifang.

Qin Qing, who had just received the report, didn't look straight at it, but squinted and showed a dismissive expression.

It wasn't until Bai Yuan and Professor Yang read it that they began to pay attention to it.

As soon as she finished reading, her attitude towards Baimei immediately changed 180 degrees.

She tried her best to recommend it to the media that cooperated with the literature agency, and actively contacted the elderly who wanted to visit Baijiagou on the spot and help there.

Seeing Qin Qing's enthusiasm for her, Baimei once suspected that the person she knew before might be a fake Qin Qing.

"She is like this. She can distinguish right from wrong, hates evil like hatred, and corrects mistakes quickly! I have always believed that you will become good sisters sooner or later!"

Facing Baimei's question, Bai Yuan raised his head confidently and answered easily.

"She's a good girl!"

Bai Yuan suddenly let out a deep sigh.

"Why are you sighing? Could it be that you fell in love with someone and they don't like you?"

Baimei joked.

"How can there be? She is my best friend, best friend, do you understand? How could there be the kind of emotion you mentioned? Besides, if I like her, what's the matter?"

Bai Yuan smiled.

"Hey, Bai Yuan, I ask you something, you must answer honestly."

Bai Mei suddenly looked at Bai Yuan seriously.

"what's up?"

Bai Yuan subconsciously tensed up.

"Do you have a girlfriend? Are you the one?"

Baimei looked around, leaned closer to Bai Yuan's ear, and asked quietly.

"Cough, why are you asking this? Are you afraid that I like you chasing you?"

When Bai Yuan heard that Baimei was asking this question, he felt much more at ease.

"Oh, let me tell you seriously, don't talk about it."

Baimei is also a person who likes to ask questions to the bottom of the casserole. Now that Qin Qing's troubles are gone, she naturally wants to find out Bai Yuan's orientation.

"What do you think? You guess for yourself!"

After Bai Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and ran away. A clear figure lingered in his mind for a long time, and he couldn't get rid of him. He missed him very much.
