BXBX NOVEL Chapter 331 - Killing Conversations Again
“I think there are no more tickets. I had wanted to pre-order them earlier on, but I was too slow, and the tickets are all gone.”
“Leave it to me.”
She did not know how, but Gu Xie got them two tickets, and Lin Xiaojuan’s eyes lit up. “You’re so awesome.”
Gu Xie’s eyes lit up as he was praised. He was used to looking steady, and no matter how happy he was, he had always hidden his emotions well. He opened the car door for Lin Xiaojuan to go up and even covered the top of the door to prevent her from hitting her head against it. Lin Xiaojuan felt a little strange as it was the first time someone of the opposite gender was treating her like a princess.
Gu Xie was hands down, a real gentleman. He was from an aristocratic family. Lin Xiaojuan lowered her head and smiled. Going out with a man like this, be it as a friend or a lover, felt nice.
“Gu Xie, are you an only child?” Lin Xiaojuan asked. She could not hold in her curiosity, and it was too quiet in the car. She had to find something to talk about.
“I’m the sixth child. I have five elder brothers, but my eldest and third brother had passed away.”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t...”
“No worries.” Gu Xie smiled. “I have the best relationship with my fourth brother.”
Lin Xiaojuan thought, Your family has so many kids. Is it planned? How could your family have so many kids?
Gu Xie was thinking about something, and he seemed hesitant as if he had something hidden to say. He hesitated and said softly, “I’ll tell you more about my family along the way, no hurry.”
“No worries, no worries. I’m just speaking casually.” Lin Xiaojuan apologized subconsciously and could sense that Gu Xie was not very willing to speak about his family. She was always exceptionally smart about these things, so she stopped talking about it. “Oh yeah, I grew up watching your shows.”
“...”
Lin Xiaojuan was speechless.
She felt that she had killed the conversation.
Something did not sound right about this.
The silence in the car returned.
Lin Xiaojuan took out her phone and sent a text to Shen Qianshu.
Lin Xiaojuan: Shu, help. Teach me. Hurry. It’s so awkward I’m dying.
Shen Qianshu was cleaning her living room and disinfecting the house. When she saw her phone, she furrowed her eyebrows.
Shen Qianshu: What’s wrong?
Lin Xiaojuan: I killed the conversation. Gu Xie the puzzle does not like to speak. I might have said something and stepped on a landmine.
Shen Qianshu: No worries, just speak randomly. He won’t be angry at you.
Lin Xiaojuan: How do you know?
Shen Qianshu: He likes you. You are the one being favored, you can talk about anything in the world.
Lin Xiaojuan: Guilty. I don’t dare to.
Shen Qianshu: He likes you, there’s nothing for you to worry about. Otherwise, start off with his filming areas or talk about something that both of you are interested in. Oh, you can talk about yourself. He may be more interested in that.
Lin Xiaojuan: Okay!
After teaching her some tactics, Shen Qianshu disinfected her entire house, and Tong Hua had a mask on. He was pinching his nose as he said, “Mommy, it stinks. Don’t exaggerate, I’m not so weak.”
“Bear with it. The smell will disappear soon.”
Tong Hua looked pained. The disinfecting agents really stank. He lied down on the sofa feeling woozy, and he took out his phone to play King of Glory [15. King of Glory was also known as Wangzhe Rongyao. It is a multiplayer online battle arena developed and published by Tencent Games for the iOS and Android mobile platforms, exclusively for the Chinese market. The game’s international version had been released in 2017 as Arena Valor, featuring different content.]. Shen Qianshu looked at him and laughed. There was a sound coming from his phone.
Legendary!
She had finished disinfecting and opened up the windows. The smell was going out, and Tong Hua removed his mask as if he had just survived a great ordeal. He put his two legs on the sofa and said, “Mommy, can I not study today? I want to play my game for a bit more.”
