Chapter 435: Confirming Her Feelings
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shi Mu at her eagerly. Even after she had changed her shoes and left, he did not dare to rush up and chase her back.
Yuan Yi laughed at him for being a coward.
Shi Mu was immediately dissatisfied. He collapsed on the sofa dejectedly and stretched his legs forward. He looked so sloppy that he was not as dignified and steady as when Bai Xue was around just now. “You don’t know. I’ve let her down, so I don’t dare to show too much. I’m afraid I’ll scare her away.”
“How did you let her down?” Yuan Yi drank his tea slowly, looking like he was waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
Shi Mu flew into a rage out of humiliation. He picked up the pillow on the sofa and threw it out. He was extremely frustrated. “I asked her to abort my child.”
“Pfft.” Yuan Yi spat out the tea before he could swallow it.
Butler Qi hurriedly instructed the servants to clean up and brought a towel for Yuan Yi to wipe his mouth.
Shi Mu glared at him, but he felt that he was in the wrong. He pursed his lips and couldn’t be bothered to talk to him.
It was Su Tang who roughly explained the situation to Yuan Yi. After saying that, she did not forget to sigh melancholicly and say, “If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?”
Shi Mu had already treated Su Tang as his other sister. He was not angry at her mocking words. He just lay on the sofa pitifully and blinked at them. “Then what do you think I should do now?”
Shi Man pondered for a moment and estimated Shi Mu’s intelligence in her heart. She probed uncertainly, “Brother, are you sure you really like Bai Xue? What do you like about her?”
This question made Shi Mu fall into deep thought. He jumped up from the sofa with a dumbfounded expression. “That’s right! I don’t know what I like about her, but I can’t help thinking about her and thinking about her. Isn’t this love?”
Yuan Yi was completely speechless. He returned the towel to butler Qi and analyzed seriously with Shi Mu, the emotional idiot. “Firstly, you can’t help but think about her. It’s very likely because you used to have that kind of relationship with her. She was even pregnant with your child. Your conscience makes you unable to let her go. Secondly, you can’t help but think for her. Isn’t this your most basic sense of responsibility as a man?”
He looked at Shi Mu who seemed to understand and continued to analyze for him. “She hurt her body for you. It’s actually understandable that you want to compensate her, but I suggest you confirm your feelings before chasing after her. Don’t hurt her a second time.”
Yuan Yi’s analysis was reasonable. Su Tang agreed very much and couldn’t help but clap and praise him. “That’s right, Fourth Brother. If you can’t confirm that your feelings for Xiao Xue are love, then don’t disturb her. After all, it wasn’t easy for her life to get on the right track.”
Shi Mu nodded and fell back onto the sofa. His eyes were fixed on the student ID on the coffee table.
The girl in the photo was smiling like a flower. It was taken on her first day at school, and he had driven her there.
Being able to return to school and attend classes like her peers was the most important thing for her at this stage, right?
Perhaps he really shouldn’t take the initiative to disturb her and cause trouble for her?
Shi Mu looked even more depressed than before.
Shi Man patted his shoulder and comforted him. “Brother, actually, you don’t have to think too much. You just have to verify if you like her.”
Shi Mu’s eyes suddenly lit up. He hurriedly went to Shi Man’s side and massaged his sister’s shoulders and legs. “Baby, tell Brother quickly. How can we verify this?”
Shi Man had no doubt that if Shi Mu had a tail at this moment, he would definitely be wagging it till they became dizzy.
She narrowed her eyes in an inscrutable manner and glanced sideways at his eager expression. She smiled and said, “It’s very simple. When a man likes a woman, he will be especially possessive of her.”
Shi Mu blinked and recalled his feelings for Bai Xue in the past. He suddenly realized that he did not have the so-called possessiveness that Shi Man had mentioned. He nodded in understanding. “Then I don’t think I like her!”
“Don’t be so anxious first. You have to do it bit by bit. You have to verify your feelings bit by bit.” Shi Man picked up her phone and sent a message. Then, she turned to Shi Mu with a smile. “I’m meeting Bai Xue for a barbecue in the suburbs tonight. Are you coming?”
“Of course!”
Shi Mu agreed quickly. Suddenly, he met their half-smiles and suddenly realized that his reaction was a little embarrassing. He quickly sat up straight and said with a straight face, “I want to accompany my sister. It’s too dangerous at night. I have to protect Manman myself.”
Shi Man raised her eyebrows noncommittally and put down her teacup. “Then let’s just say that’s the case. I’ll go back to my room to rest first. See you tonight.”
“Sister, aren’t you eating?” Shi Mu hurriedly stopped her from behind.
For some reason, as soon as Shi Man left, he suddenly felt insecure.
Shi Man waved casually behind her and said, “I’ve eaten. See you tonight.”
Shi Mu waited until the sky was red before Shi Man came out of the room..
