Yin ng added, "Better make it a thousand! Trust , Senior, once you give her a thousand paper cranes, that girl will give you anything!"
Bai Shunyuan didn’t think too much at the ti, just looked at Su Xiaong’s starry eyes and couldn’t help but tease, "You’re such an idiot, a single Winnie the Pooh can settle you, of course you’re easy to please."
"Bai Shunyuan, joke around all you want, but can you not make it personal?"
Su Xiaong gave him an indignant glance.
Bai Shunyuan just chuckled lightly and took a piece of braised pork from her bowl and stuffed it into his mouth.
This action left both Su Xiaong and Yin ng dumbfounded.
Bai Shunyuan chewed a few tis, swallowed, and before they could say anything, stood up, "Clean up for , I’m leaving, bye."
After saying that, he walked out of the cafeteria with a straight back, rather dashingly.
Su Xiaong rolled her eyes hard at Bai Shunyuan’s departing figure.
"What kind of behavior is that! Why should I clean up his plate?"
"Cousin... what a sin."
Yin ng laughed.
Su Xiaong took a few bites of her al and looked suspiciously at Yin ng, "Do you think he knows we’re cousins?"
"He should know, why else would he have lunch with you?"
Yin ng didn’t give it much thought either, thinking that the special ops uncle from the Bai family couldn’t possibly have not told his son by now.
Su Xiaong rubbed her head and felt Yin ng’s words made sense.
However... his attitude when asking her to clear his plates, and his way of speaking, were still quite harsh.
"This is how cousins act..."
Su Xiaong muttered, a bit dissatisfied.
Yin ng also took a piece of braised pork from her bowl and said while chewing, "Maybe he can’t put down his pride! Guys like him always have a ’the world revolves around ’ attitude. If half of what your uncle says is true..."
Su Xiaong blinked at Yin ng.
Yin ng laughed, "It at least proves he’s not that bad to his family."
"... So what?"
"It ans that after finding out you’re his cousin, he felt guilty about bullying you before."
Su Xiaong pointed to the plate in front of her, "That’s his so-called guilt?"
"It’s because he’s guilty that he’s eating with you, at least got to build so relationships first, right? But if you expect him to apologize sincerely, that’s impossible."
Yin ng’s words made Su Xiaong think it over and find it quite possible.
"By the way... do you really think your cousin will fold a thousand paper cranes?"
Yin ng raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile on her lips.
Hearing this, Su Xiaong couldn’t help but feel a bit smug, looking at Yin ng, "You’re really bad!"
"Aren’t you bad too?"
Su Xiaong grinned, then touched her chin and thought, "Anyway, I couldn’t imagine Bai Shunyuan folding a thousand paper cranes for a girl in the first place!"
"I can’t imagine it either; post this on the school forum, and it’s sure to go viral."
"Yeah, definitely viral!"
"If he really goes and folds a thousand paper cranes for a girl, I bet what we just said would be enough to convince him that a thousand cranes would definitely win the girl over."
"So you think he’ll do it?"
"... Probably will." Yin ng’s tone was quite certain.
"Wow, then we’ve really ssed with him."
"Feels good, right? Who told him to bully you so much before?"
Yin ng blinked, feeling their retaliation was only fair.
"By the way... what’s so good about Shanshan that Bai Shunyuan would do so much for her?"
Su Xiaong couldn’t understand; it would be one thing for soone else, but it had to be that little white lotus.
Yin ng shrugged, "Who knows? Weird tastes can only notice weird things."
Su Xiaong thought about it and nodded, very much agreeing with Yin ng’s statent.
Anyway, with Bai Shunyuan’s bad personality, any good girl by his side would be wasted.
Yin ng and Su Xiaong chatted quietly there.
After Bai Shunyuan left the cafeteria, he went back to the dorm, got so things, and went to the small grove.
The small grove was chilly this season, with not a soul around.
Bai Shunyuan found a clean spot and sat down.
He put on his earphones and started folding paper cranes...
On second thought, this was a pretty silly move...
But it seed like all the idol dramas played it like this, and if a guy liked a girl, he’d end up doing really dumb things.
And yet... these girls still liked it.
But still...
Does it really have to be a thousand? When will this ever end?
Bai Shunyuan scratched his head, looking quite troubled.
Su Xiaong...
Bai Shunyuan sighed heavily, unsure of what he really wanted.
She’s already married, to none other than the Fourth Young Master of the Yin family. Not only that, she’s had two kids...
Was he crazy? To have feelings for such a woman?
During this ti, as he folded the paper cranes, he kept thinking...
What about Su Xiaong is so appealing...
He thought for a long ti, but couldn’t find a good enough reason to convince himself, which oddly enough, was a relief.
It’s just that... he couldn’t recall from whom he heard the saying.
Liking soone has no reason...
And he began to think aimlessly day and night.
Actually...
He knew it was just a crush.
Perhaps... cute girls tend to be more likable.
Perhaps... naturally pleasant girls are more likable.
Don’t overthink it, there’s no need to overthink it.
This liking... isn’t as pitiful as you imagine; it’s more like liking a hat, or a watch...
This type of liking has an expiration date.
Bai Shunyuan was convincing himself this way as he continued the boring task of folding paper cranes.
Liking... in so way you have to do sothing to show it, right?
After all, Su Xiaong has a husband and kids, he can’t do anything...
So a thousand paper cranes it will be...
When he gets tired of it, it’s over, because... he’s never been a patient person, nor a long-lasting one.
Su Xiaong...
Bai Shunyuan thought of her, and just found it quite amusing.
"Shunyuan..."
Shanshan had been searching for Bai Shunyuan during her lunch break and finally saw him sitting there...
Folding paper cranes?!
She thought she was mistaken, but as she got closer, she could see it clearly, he was indeed holding square pieces of paper.
His slender fingers were transforming those square pieces into paper cranes.
Those paper cranes were so exquisite, lifelike, as if they were endowed with life.
"Bai Shunyuan!"
Shanshan realized he’d been unresponsive despite her calling him several tis, so she called out louder.
Only then did Bai Shunyuan hear the sound, look up, and et Shanshan’s slightly smiling face.
He still had his earphones on and casually asked, "What are you doing here?"
Shanshan touched her head, a bit shyly said, "You’re here, so of course, I’m here."
Bai Shunyuan didn’t hear her words clearly, thinking for a mont, feeling a bit annoyed at being disturbed.
He took off his earphones, "If there’s nothing important, don’t disturb ."
Shanshan was imdiately a bit embarrassed, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, then forced a smile, pointing to the paper cranes in his hand, asking, "What are you doing?"
"Folding paper cranes, can’t you tell?"
"No... it’s just strange. Why are you folding paper cranes?"
"To kill ti, you know I dread being idle."
Bai Shunyuan said casually.
Shanshan hurriedly squatted down, sat beside him, picked up a square piece of paper to help him.
Yet her hand had barely touched it when Bai Shunyuan waved her off, "Don’t touch."
