Rebirth begins with rejecting Qingmei

Chapter 1403 The Attentive Guo Shasha
Xu Xiuwen said speechlessly, "Do you know what nonsense you're talking about?"

Guo Shasha had been waiting for Xu Xiuwen's reaction.

If he doesn't resist, she will agree.

If Xu Xiuwen strongly objects, she certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to agree.

Upon hearing Xu Xiuwen's words, a hint of disappointment flashed in Guo Shasha's eyes.

It seems that Xu Xiuwen still hasn't accepted her, otherwise he wouldn't have rejected her so decisively.

Guo Shasha had no time to feel bad; she quickly feigned shyness and said to Ning Jiali, "Lili, what nonsense are you talking about?"

The shy blush on her face was very charming.

If it were one of the boys in school, they would probably be completely captivated by her.

However, Xu Xiuwen remained unmoved.

He didn't even glance at her.

Guo Shasha was extremely depressed.

She now doubts both her own charm and Xu Xiuwen's sexual orientation.

Is he gay?

But he clearly has a girlfriend.

And judging from his reaction that day, he didn't seem gay.

Is it really because she lacks charm that she can't attract Xu Xiuwen?

If she had known this would happen, perhaps she shouldn't have given herself to Xu Xiuwen so early.

To the point that she can't even bring herself to give up now.

Guo Shasha is very clear about what constitutes a girl's value, including her appearance, figure, temperament, educational background, and family background.

Apart from her family background, she is not much worse than others in other aspects.

However, family background is precisely the most important value of a girl or woman, at least one of the top three.

Especially for truly wealthy second-generation heirs, they will definitely place great importance on the woman's family background.

This is her Achilles' heel.

Besides these values, she also knew something that some men cared about.

That is her status as a virgin.

However, being a virgin is only a bonus.

This identity might add a few points to her original score, but it's definitely not enough for her to transcend social class.

therefore.

Given Guo Shasha's disadvantageous family background.

If she loses the advantage of being a virgin.

Then it will be even more difficult for her to find a satisfactory boyfriend or husband.

This is also why Guo Shasha couldn't give up on Xu Xiuwen.

She has already played all her cards.

If she cannot win over Xu Xiuwen, she will find it difficult to find someone with better qualities than him.

Even if she were incredibly lucky and met a rich second-generation heir...

But no one can guarantee that the children of the wealthy will be as outstanding as Xu Xiuwen.

How could a woman who has seen an eagle possibly be interested in a crow?

If it were Guo Shasha when she first entered university, all she would need to do is find a rich second-generation heir from a wealthy family.

However, after getting to know Xu Xiuwen and learning about his achievements...

Her horizons were also broadened.

At the very least, a man like Xu Xiuwen—rich, talented, successful, and handsome—would be able to win her over.

But such men are rare to begin with, and there's even less reason for them to choose her.

What makes Guo Shasha smarter than most girls is that she can distinguish between scumbags who just want to have fun and honest men who are likely to get married.

Some might question whether Xu Xiuwen is an honest man.
At least in Guo Shasha's opinion, Xu Xiuwen was at least half an honest man.

During the two years she spent with Ning Jiali, she had heard countless times from her about Xu Xiuwen's extraordinary life after graduating from high school.

Even though Xu Xiuwen had become so 'successful', he still did not abandon his 'wife of humble origins', Xiao Youran.

It is clear that he is an honest man who values ​​relationships and loyalty.

If Xu Xiuwen knew what Guo Shasha was thinking, he would probably be both amused and exasperated.

Back to the topic.

Ning Jiali was questioned by Xu Xiuwen and criticized by Guo Shasha.

She was somewhat disheartened and decided to stop talking.

Guo Shasha tossed her hair and said to Xu Xiuwen, "Senior, Lili is just worried about your health, please don't blame her."

Xu Xiuwen thought to himself: Of course I won't blame Lili, after all, she's my cousin. But you, can you please not be so tactless with your words?
He already has An Shishi by his side, who is skilled in witty banter.

However, the latter has recently toned it down considerably.

He didn't want another tea girl by his side.

Tea Sister is certainly nice, but she's prone to getting into trouble.

Xu Xiuwen was not a person with strong willpower to begin with.

Xu Xiuwen said calmly, "I'm really fine, don't worry."

Ning Jiali hummed in agreement.

Guo Shasha continued, "That puts my mind at ease."

Then the atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

Xu Xiuwen was focused on watching TV and completely ignored Ning Jiali and Guo Shasha.

Guo Shasha felt wronged and disappointed.

Does Xu Xiuwen hate her that much?

Ning Jiali then asked directly, "What are you looking at? Is it really that good?"

Xu Xiuwen said, "It's to kill time when I'm bored, otherwise I have nothing to do."

He said he felt a little thirsty and subconsciously glanced at the table.

However, there was no water glass on the table.

Even though there was a water glass, it was empty.

Ning Jiali didn't notice this small detail and continued to ask, "Then why don't you go home?"

At this moment, Guo Shasha suddenly turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

Xu Xiuwen noticed it out of the corner of his eye, but ignored it.

Hearing Ning Jiali's words, she raised an eyebrow and said, "You know my mom's personality. If I go back, I don't know how much she'll scold me."

Ning Jiali snorted, "Auntie doesn't think that way at all."

Xu Xiuwen scoffed, "I'm her son, I know her better than you!"

Ning Jiali said, "That's because you're not good. If you were as good as me, your aunt wouldn't scold you."

Xu Xiuwen frowned and asked, "Why didn't you call her 'Auntie' properly? It's so cheesy!"

Ning Jiali glared at him and said, "It's none of your business. I just like calling you 'Auntie'."

"Do whatever you want, I can't care about you!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Jiali wrinkled her nose at him again, then gave a haughty snort.

Xu Xiuwen continued watching the TV series.

The TV series currently airing is one he watched in his previous life.

Although I've seen it before, it's still great.

It has to be said that older dramas are much better than some TV series that can't even hold a proper mouthful of dough.

Putting aside the actress's acting skills, her looks alone are incomparable to some 'famous actresses' who rely on their bodies or even their families to get ahead.

Compared to these actresses, those people are truly ugly and deformed.

Ning Jiali also watched TV for a while.

She suddenly turned to Xu Xiuwen and asked, "Cousin, you said before that you were on Happy Family, when will it air?"

Xu Xiuwen paused for a moment, then recalled, "It seems to be around this National Day."

Ning Jiali's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this.

"Isn't that tonight?"

Xu Xiuwen pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps."

Ning Jiali became excited upon hearing this, "Then I want to watch Happy Family tonight."

Xu Xiuwen said, "You can go back and take a look."

Ning Jiali immediately glared at Xu Xiuwen and fell silent.

Xu Xiuwen asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Jiali immediately pounced on him.

Because Xu Xiuwen had been lying on the sofa the whole time.

Ning Jiali sat directly on his stomach.

She muttered, "You stinky cousin, where am I supposed to watch TV? Do you think we even have a TV in our dorm? I'll bite you to death!"

She grabbed Xu Xiuwen's arm and bit it hard.

of course.

She didn't make a definitive statement; rather, she prioritized form over substance.

However, Xu Xiuwen still showed a pained expression.

Upon returning, Guo Shasha noticed Xu Xiuwen's expression and quickly asked with concern, "Senior, what's wrong?" She then turned to Ning Jiali and said, "Lili, stop fooling around, come down quickly!"

Ning Jiali was stunned for a moment when she heard her words.

She knew perfectly well that she hadn't really bitten anyone hard.

Logically, it shouldn't hurt.

She immediately looked at Xu Xiuwen.

The latter indeed looked pained.

Ning Jiali panicked immediately.

She immediately stood up, then turned around and squatted down, looking at Xu Xiuwen with a worried expression, and asked, "Cousin, where do you feel unwell? Should we go to the hospital?"

Xu Xiuwen waved his hand, "I'm fine, I don't need to go to the hospital..."

Ning Jiali's posture just now was not quite right.

Although she was very light, she still inadvertently pressed against the bruises on his body.

Seeing this, Guo Shasha suddenly said, "Senior, why don't you drink some water and calm down?"

Upon hearing the word "drink water," Xu Xiuwen immediately cast a surprised glance at him.

Guo Shasha glanced at the coffee table.

Xu Xiuwen also looked at the coffee table.

Then he noticed that there was an extra water glass on the coffee table, filled with water.

Xu Xiuwen was silent for a few seconds before nodding and saying, "Thank you."

Guo Shasha smiled and said, "Senior, you don't need to be so polite with me... Let me feed you some water."

She walked to the edge of the sofa and sat down.

He said he sat down, but he just lightly rested half of his buttocks on the edge of the sofa.

She put one arm around Xu Xiuwen's back, trying to get him to straighten his upper body.

Then she used her other hand to hold the water glass.

As the water from the cup flowed into Xu Xiuwen's mouth.

He was surprised to find that the water in the cup was actually warm.

It's clear that Guo Shasha specially prepared it.

This small discovery touched Xu Xiuwen.

Including the fact that he had just glanced at the coffee table because he was thirsty.

Although he didn't say anything, Guo Shasha still noticed this detail.

This also shows how much Guo Shasha cares about and values ​​him.

Although Xu Xiuwen disliked Guo Shasha, no one can refuse the concern from others.

Xu Xiuwen took a sip of water and said, "Thank you, Sasha."

Through Xu Xiuwen's changes in expression.

Guo Shasha understood that he had noticed her behavior.

Guo Shasha was secretly pleased, but she didn't show it much on her face.

She smiled faintly and said, "Senior, why don't you have a few more sips..."

"it is good……"

After finishing her water, Guo Shasha first put down the cup, and then gently put Xu Xiuwen down as well.

Ning Jiali watched as Guo Shasha fed Xu Xiuwen water.

She remained silent throughout this time.

Seeing that Xu Xiuwen did not resist Guo Shasha's care, Ning Jiali felt secretly happy.

It seems that Guo Shasha is not without hope.

If she continues to work hard, there is still hope that she can win over Xu Xiuwen.

Ning Jiali asked, "Cousin, how are you feeling?"

Xu Xiuwen shook his head and said, "It's alright."

Ning Jiali lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry, cousin, I didn't mean to."

"Of course I know you didn't do it on purpose. If you had, I would have been angry already."

Ning Jiali breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Perhaps they sensed the atmosphere was a bit stiff.

Guo Shasha suddenly asked, "Senior, I heard you're going to be on Happy Family. Is the show airing tonight?"

Xu Xiuwen said, "I think so, but I'm not too sure about the specifics."

He has been almost completely cut off from the outside world these past few days.

Guo Shasha asked, "Can I stay and watch this show tonight?"

Hearing that she wanted to stay, Xu Xiuwen raised an eyebrow.

He knew, of course, that Guo Shasha's staying to watch the show was a pretense.

Her real purpose was to get closer to him.

But perhaps he was touched by Guo Shasha's thoughtfulness, or perhaps he felt that even if Guo Shasha wanted to, she was powerless to do so.

Xu Xiuwen's worries were dispelled.

He nodded and said, "Okay."

Upon hearing his agreement, Guo Shasha immediately smiled.

She also quietly made a fist gesture.

Ning Jiali, standing to the side, had a big smile on her face.

She added, "Cousin, I want to stay and watch the Happy Family too."

Xu Xiuwen's expression changed instantly when he saw Ning Jiali.

He snorted and said, "You can't stay!"

Ning Jiali was stunned.

She almost thought she had heard it wrong.

She didn't realize she hadn't misheard until she saw Xu Xiuwen's serious expression.

She immediately objected.

"Why should I?" Ning Jiali shouted.

Xu Xiuwen said, "I was thirsty, and before I even said anything, Sasha noticed. And you? Not only did you not take care of me, you bit me and sat on my stomach. Were you here to take care of me, or to hurt me?"

When this matter was brought up, Ning Jiali immediately felt guilty.

However, she still argued, "That was an accident, I didn't mean to. And I will take care of you, don't worry. You can ask me for anything you need in the future."

Xu Xiuwen squinted, seemingly not believing it.

Ning Jiali immediately added, "Everything I said is true, you have to believe me."

Xu Xiuwen snorted, "It's easy for me to trust you. I'll ask you to do one thing right now."

Ning Jiali immediately asked, "What is it?"

Xu Xiuwen said, "I haven't been back for too long, and there are a lot of chores to do at home..."

Ning Jiali was dumbfounded after hearing Xu Xiuwen's request.

Guo Shasha, who was standing nearby, was worried that Ning Jiali might throw a tantrum.

If the latter gets angry and refuses to stay, then she won't be able to stay.

She didn't think Xu Xiuwen would leave her alone overnight.

Guo Shasha kept casting suggestive glances at Ning Jiali.

However, Ning Jiali's attention was not on her at all at the moment.

She completely ignored Guo Shasha's suggestive glances.

Ning Jiali replied without hesitation, "Cousin, don't look down on me. It's just housework, anyone can do that! I'll do it!"

"Are you really going to do this?"

"Of course!"

"Alright then..." Xu Xiuwen nodded: "The house is a bit dirty. Mop the floor first, then wash all the sheets and change them... Also, you need to prepare dinner. We're out of groceries, so you'll need to go to the supermarket to buy some..."

Ning Jiali was stunned once again upon hearing Xu Xiuwen's request.

She can't possibly manage all that by herself.

She had no choice but to look to Guo Shasha for help.

Guo Shasha understood immediately.

She quickly said, "Lili, let me help you."

Ning Jiali was afraid that Xu Xiuwen would object.

She quickly expressed her gratitude: "Sister Sasha, you're the best to me."

Guo Shasha smiled gently upon hearing Ning Jiali's words.

This scene left Xu Xiuwen speechless.

However, since Guo Shasha was willing, he did not stop her.

Xu Xiuwen said, "Then you can begin now."

Guo Shasha thought for a moment and said, "Lili, senior, I'll go buy groceries first, otherwise we won't be able to buy any fresh vegetables if we go any later."

Xu Xiuwen thought to himself: You probably won't be able to buy fresh vegetables now.

He didn't show it, but nodded and said, "I don't care, you two can decide for yourselves. I'm just waiting to have dinner."
