"Your fish-flavored shredded pork with rice, stewed pork with preserved vegetables..."
The person delivering the food wasn't Luo Yunyun, which left Fei a bit disappointed.
"Bro, you co here every day just to catch a glimpse of her. What's that all about?"
"If it were won from the bar, it would be a piece of cake, but, seriously pursuing a girl like this, I've never done it before."
"Pfft, hahaha..." Xiaofan laughed, laughing like a child. Who would have thought that the seemingly suave Brother Fei has sothing he doesn't know how to handle.
"What's so funny, you brat? Quickly give your brother so advice..."
"So, you're serious this ti?"
"Shouldn't I be serious? I'm almost thirty."
"Aren't you just twenty-five?"
"Well, it's close enough."
"Have you asked her out?"
"No, not yet."
"Then ask her out."
"But, if she rejects , wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
"Then keep on waiting."
"You brat, is this how you give advice?" Fei said, taking a bite of his al.
"If you don't even have the courage to ask her out, then it seems you're just playing around, not serious enough..."
"No, it's just that, oh dear..." Fei didn't know what to say.
"Just say what's on your mind."
"Xiaofan, you have more experience in this than I do, so I'll just be honest. I might not encounter another girl who moves like this in my lifeti. Maybe it's my fate. This girl is fiercely domineering. Every ti I see her, my heart itches. If I can't see her, sothing feels missing."
"So...?"
"In this life, I'm like this. At twenty-five, I'm not old yet. While I'm young, I should date, find a girl I like, so I don't continue muddling through life. After all, if I like soone, I should pursue them, to avoid future regrets..."
Xiaofan didn't expect such words from Fei. He deeply resonated with them. Back in the day, wasn't that how he treated Zuimo and Siyan? Seeing Fei so persistent now, Xiaofan couldn't just not help.
But now, was he really even less courageous than Brother Fei?
"Xiaofan, is there anything you regret in your life?"
"Hmm? I'm not dead yet, so I guess not for the ti being."
"Exactly, don't wait until you're old to regret."
"Then listen to later."
"Hmm?"
"Hey, beautiful! Check, please..." Xiaofan called out to Luo Yunyun deliberately, hoping she'd co over to collect paynt.
"Hello, that's forty-eight yuan in total."
"Alright, here you go."
"Hey, Xiaofan, let pay..."
"I've got it." After giving a hundred yuan, Xiaofan looked at Fei with a gentle smile...
Luo Yunyun took the money, gave Fei a sidelong glance, then went to the counter to find change.
"This fool, coming here every day, what's he after? Can't he just say what he wants?" Luo Yunyun muttered while making change.
Before long, Luo Yunyun returned with the change.
"Here's your fifty-two yuan change. See you next ti."
"Hey, beautiful, this is my brother, his na is Fei, and he wants to ask you..."
"Hold on, can't he speak up himself?" Luo Yunyun shot Xiaofan a look, then glanced at Fei.
Looks promising. Xiaofan chuckled inside and gave Fei a knowing look.
"Um, I'm Fei, I... cough, are you hungry?"
Darn it. Seeing Fei stutter like that, Xiaofan felt frustrated at how smitten his brother was.
"I'm not hungry."
"No, my brother ans he'd like to treat you to lunch this afternoon."
"Do you have ti this afternoon? I'd like to treat you to a al."
"I have class this afternoon."
"Oh, I see." Fei paused, left without further response.
"What about tonight?" Xiaofan quickly interjected.
"Tonight? It's not safe to be with soone like that, I'm not free."
Saying this, Luo Yunyun turned and walked over to another table to take orders.
"Oh no, she's definitely not interested in ." Fei said dejectedly.
"What? Giving up?" Xiaofan asked casually.
"I don't want to give up, but I don't know what to do."
"When does she get off work? Just drive over to pick her up. She has class in the afternoon, but she'll definitely co work afterward. You can ask her out then."
"No way, getting rejected repeatedly is embarrassing."
"Then are you waiting for her to ask you out?"
"Right, I'm not a sensitive guy either. Sink or swim, I've got to go for it."
After finishing the al with Fei, Xiaofan planned to head back to his grandpa's place, pack up, and book a flight to the Capital City for tomorrow afternoon.
That evening, Fei called, sounding very down. He'd been rejected again, yet he wasn't deterred.
Indeed, there are things you'll never know if you don't speak up or take action. Fei is like that, and how about himself?
Reflecting deeply, Xiaofan realized that without inner strength, would he still not be Ye Xiaofan?
Xiaofan had noticed too that Luo Yunyun was simply a bit tough in personality. Every ti she looked at Fei, though it's with disdain, it wasn't overly disdainful.
After all, for a strong-willed girl, she won't just agree to go out with soone in one or two invites.
Of course, if she's not interested in you, she wouldn't bother with you at all.
But, in the restaurant, Luo Yunyun only showed a bad attitude towards Fei. What does this suggest? Her noticing Fei's continuous visits over the past two weeks implies she rembers him, which ans she's kept it in her mind each ti.
Looking at it from another angle, her attitude implies she's aware of his existence, perhaps even curious about him.
No clap without two hands, if Xiaofan hadn't noticed this, he wouldn't support Fei in continuing his pursuit.
Xiaofan's logic was crystal clear, Luo Yunyun indeed grew curious of Fei. Ever since that little conflict one night, this guy kept appearing in her sights.
She had other admirers too, but this guy, who acted so impressive in front of punks, ca across as a goofball in front of her, which was really strange.
For two weeks straight, he ca for the sa breakfast, always staring at her. Can't he just say what he wants? A grown man being this wishy-washy?
Finally, Xiaofan's appearance got Fei to speak up, urging him to persist.
Before Xiaofan boarded his flight, he received another call from Fei. They had gone out for a al and also bought movie tickets. They discussed the ti and place, what to eat, and which movie to watch; everything was decided by the girl. Yet, it indicated Fei had succeeded.
Well, he should start getting his act together too. Capital City, everyone, Ye Xiaofan is back.
