Rebirth begins with rejecting Qingmei

Chapter 1407 Teasing My Cousin
After dinner, Xu Xiuwen lay down on the sofa again.

Guo Shasha and Ning Jiali went to the kitchen to wash the dishes together.

in the kitchen.

Just as Guo Shasha was about to go and wash the dishes, Ning Jiali suddenly said, "Sister Shasha, let me wash the dishes. You can just watch from the side."

Guo Shasha smiled and said, "It's okay, let's wash together, that way it'll be faster."

Ning Jiali did not object upon hearing this.

The two stood together in front of the sink.

Ning Jiali suddenly remembered the scene she had seen when she walked out of the bathroom.

She really wanted to ask Guo Shasha why she did that.

However, she held back.

Because if she asked, it might embarrass Guo Shasha.

Guo Shasha noticed her hesitation and asked, "Lili, is there something you want to say?"

Ning Jiali was slightly startled.

She instinctively denied it, saying, "No."

"Nevermind."

Guo Shasha could tell that Ning Jiali was not being sincere.

She didn't expose him, but instead smoothly ended the topic.

This, however, made Ning Jiali unable to hold back any longer.

She suddenly asked, "Sister Sasha, are you really willing to be his mistress?"

Although she did not name names, everyone knew that 'he' referred to Xu Xiuwen.

Guo Shasha looked surprised. "Didn't I already tell you?"

Ning Jiali nodded: "I know, I just wanted to confirm it one more time, just in case you change your mind."

Guo Shasha shook her head and said, "Lili, you should know that I am not a fickle person."

Ning Jiali nodded again: "I know."

Ning Jiali asked again to confirm Guo Shasha's feelings.

The latter's attitude also determined her attitude.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Ning Jiali couldn't help but remind Guo Shasha.

Ning Jiali said, "Sister Sasha..."

"Ah."

"Your cousin's attitude was much better today than last time, did you notice?"

Ning Jiali chose to offer a tactful reminder.

Guo Shasha said, "Indeed, I could feel it. He wasn't as cold as last time. Maybe he's calmed down."

Ning Jiali nodded in agreement. "Sister Shasha, if you really like him, then you should definitely try harder. I believe your expectations can definitely be met."

Guo Shasha laughed.

She said, "Don't worry, I didn't work this hard in high school."

"That's good." Ning Jiali was slightly relieved.

She felt that as long as Guo Shasha continued to perform well...

Therefore, it should not be difficult for the latter to pass Xu Xiuwen's test.

After all, Sister Sasha is not only beautiful and has a great figure and charming temperament, but she is also very smart.

The two worked together seamlessly, one washing the dishes and the other scrubbing the pots.

The kitchen was restored to its original state in less than 10 minutes.

Guo Shasha carefully packed up the disposable plastic bags from the trash can and placed them against the wall outside the gate.

Once all this is done, the cleanup work is completely finished.

The two women entered the living room.

They immediately spotted Xu Xiuwen lying across the sofa.

Guo Shasha noticed Xu Xiuwen's fingers wrapped in bandages.

They look quite cute.

The corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up.

Ning Jiali, however, did not observe such details.

She walked towards Xu Xiuwen, smiling as she said, "Cousin, we're done washing."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiuwen replied without looking up, "Okay."

This immediately aroused Ning Jiali's dissatisfaction.

She pouted at Xu Xiuwen from an angle where he couldn't see her.

Guo Shasha was even more curious about what Xu Xiuwen was looking at, which he seemed so engrossed in.

The two women walked to the sofa.

Because Xu Xiuwen was lying down, the two women had no place to sit.

Unless they sit at the very end of the sofa.

This was clearly not the scene the two women wanted to see.

Guo Shasha hesitated for a moment.

Ning Jiali, on the other hand, was exceptionally decisive.

She walked to Xu Xiuwen's chest and sat down.

In doing so, she inevitably came into contact with, or rather, squeezed, Xu Xiuwen's body.

Ning Jiali pretended not to know anything and looked up at the TV.

Guo Shasha hesitated for a moment, then finally followed her example and put her bottom on the edge of the sofa.

It is worth mentioning that.

She was sitting at a position less than ten centimeters below Xu Xiuwen's waist.

This immediately aroused Xu Xiuwen's dissatisfaction.

He frowned and said, "Can't you sit over there?"

Ning Jiali snorted, "I don't want to, I want to sit here."

Xu Xiuwen looked at Guo Shasha and asked, "Shasha, what about you?"

Guo Shasha was about to say, "Then I'll sit at the very end."

But she suddenly noticed that Ning Jiali glanced at her.

This made her change her mind.

Guo Shasha smiled, looking somewhat embarrassed.

She said, "I want to sit with Lily."

Xu Xiuwen was speechless.

He knew very well that Ning Jiali was the root of the problem.

So he said to Ning Jiali, "Get up quickly, you're squeezing me like this."

Ning Jiali said, "I won't get up."

"Are you going to get up or not?" Xu Xiuwen pretended to be unhappy.

Ning Jiali was not afraid at all.

She said, "Go ahead and kick me off if you dare, otherwise I'm going to sit here. Why are you lying on this big sofa all by yourself?"

Xu Xiuwen said, both amused and exasperated, "Hey, this is my home!"

Ning Jiali looked at Xu Xiuwen upon hearing this.

She said, "You're my brother, isn't your home my home?"

I noticed the girl looked very serious.

Xu Xiuwen was at a loss for words.

Finally, he said, "Alright, alright, then you can have a seat. I'm going back to my room to rest."

Upon hearing this, Guo Shasha felt a little anxious.

I wish I hadn't made a scene with Ning Jiali.

Xu Xiuwen lay on the sofa, and she could sit beside him and talk to him.

But if he goes back to his bedroom to rest.

What reason or status would she have to go to his bedroom to keep him company?
However, Ning Jiali suddenly said something that surprised her.

Ning Jiali said, "No, you can't leave. You have to stay and watch Happy Family with us."

Xu Xiuwen shook his head and said, "I don't want to see it. You can see it yourselves."

Ning Jiali said, "Then I'll call my aunt and tell her you bullied me!"

Xu Xiuwen: "..."

He only now realized that Ning Jiali had indeed changed quite a bit since starting university.

He may never see his obedient and well-behaved little cousin who used to follow him around again.

Xu Xiuwen gave in, "Okay, okay, I won't leave, alright?"

Ning Jiali smiled smugly, "Okay."

Xu Xiuwen rolled his eyes at her.

To make both women more comfortable, and also to maintain distance.

He rolled over, turning to lie on his side, facing the television.

In this way, the sofa has a greater depth.

Guo Shasha and Ning Jiali don't have to sit on only half of their buttocks.

Now the two of them can sit completely on the sofa.

Ning Jiali focused her attention on the TV series that was currently airing.

She asked in confusion, "Isn't this Bai Yue'er's drama?"

The TV is showing Coffee Prince.

However, the broadcasting station was not Beijing Economic Television, but another provincial station.

Because Coffee Prince's ratings were just too good.

Even though many days have passed, the topic remains incredibly popular.

Therefore, many TV stations want to buy the right to broadcast this drama a second time.

It turns out that the staff at these TV stations are quite competent.

Even on its second run, the viewership ratings were still quite impressive.

Xu Xiuwen nodded and said, "Yes."

Ning Jiali asked, puzzled, "Didn't the TV series already end?"

Guo Shasha interjected first: "It should be the second broadcast."

Xu Xiuwen said, "Sasha is right."

"I see," Ning Jiali nodded. "Unfortunately, I've already seen it."

Guo Shasha followed her words and said, "I haven't really looked at it yet." Ning Jiali turned to Xu Xiuwen and asked, "Cousin, you haven't looked at it either?"

Xu Xiuwen said speechlessly, "Do you think I'm a free person like you? I don't have time to watch dramas every day."

Ning Jiali pursed her lips. "Who knows?"

Xu Xiuwen stared at her with wide eyes.

Ning Jiali finally felt guilty.

She retorted, "I'm not with you every day, how would I know?"

Xu Xiuwen didn't reply, but instead sighed softly, "Sigh, he's getting less and less lovable."

Guo Shasha realized it in a second.

She chuckled.

Ning Jiali reacted a little slower.

Once she realized what was happening, she immediately glared at Xu Xiuwen.

Xu Xiuwen ignored her.

Ning Jiali gritted her teeth and decided not to pursue the matter further.

So the three of them watched a TV series together.

Coincidentally.

This episode happens to be the one where the male and female leads' relationship heats up, and there's even a kissing scene.

When the male and female protagonists kiss.

Ning Jiali and Guo Shasha were both stunned.

It is worth mentioning that.

Aside from the kissing scene Bai Yue'er filmed with Xu Xiuwen in their first drama together.

In every kissing scene she appeared in after that, she used camera tricks.

even so.

Guo Shasha and Ning Jiali remained completely engrossed in watching.

Xu Xiuwen noticed this scene.

Especially Ning Jiali.

He even noticed that Ning Jiali was secretly swallowing.

Clearly, the latter has really grown up.

Xu Xiuwen suddenly felt mischievous.

He suddenly joked, "Kids aren't allowed to watch!"

Guo Shasha did not respond.

Because she knew that Xu Xiuwen was definitely not talking about her.

Ning Jiali immediately expressed her dissatisfaction.

She snorted, "I'm not a child anymore, I'm an adult!"

Despite saying that, her heart still raced when she saw the intimate scenes.

A blush unconsciously crept onto her cheeks.

Xu Xiuwen then joked, "Are you looking for a boyfriend?"

Ning Jiali denied it: "No, I didn't."

Xu Xiuwen ignored him and continued, "Let me guess, are there any men pursuing you at school?"

Ning Jiali's attention was instantly diverted.

To prove she was popular, she quickly replied, "Of course I am."

Xu Xiuwen continued to ignore her words.

He continued, "I bet not. Who would like an immature little girl..."

Ning Jiali was furious.

Although she is not proud of her popularity, no one wants to admit that they are not popular.

What's more, she was belittled by Xu Xiuwen as an 'immature little girl'.

Please.

She's a grown woman, okay?
Ning Jiali immediately retorted, "Cousin, don't talk nonsense. I've always been very popular, okay?"

Xu Xiuwen shook his head and said, "I don't believe it. Who would like a little girl?"

Ning Jiali angrily shouted, "Have you forgotten? There was a senior who pursued me before!"

Xu Xiuwen shook his head and said, "That doesn't count. That guy is a playboy who pursues anyone. You can only say that he pursued someone as a side project."

Ning Jiali was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.

She suddenly yelled, "Who said he's the only one?"

Xu Xiuwen immediately became interested.

"Oh? Who else is there? Tell me!"

Ning Jiali has revealed it herself.

“Recently, a guy has been asking me out, but I’ve refused.”

"So short-sighted?" Xu Xiuwen muttered to himself.

Although it was said to be talking to himself, his voice was actually quite loud.

Ning Jiali heard it very clearly.

She immediately glared at him angrily.

Seeing this, Xu Xiuwen quickly changed his question, saying, "I meant, who is the other person? Where are they from?"

Ning Jiali's attention was once again diverted.

She couldn't care less about being angry at Xu Xiuwen's slander.

She replied, "He's a student from the next major; we've taken common courses together before. As for where he's from, I don't know; I didn't ask."

"It sounds like it was made up?" Xu Xiuwen said with a smile.

"No, that's not true!" Ning Jiali was even more annoyed.

"Okay, okay, I believe you. So why don't you like him?"

Ning Jiali said, "I don't know, I just don't feel anything."

Xu Xiuwen exclaimed, "She really is a little girl, only caring about feelings."

Ning Jiali has been repeatedly slandered and defamed.

She's used to it.

Ning Jiali said, "Don't you consider feelings when you like someone?"

Xu Xiuwen did not answer immediately.

He hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "I don't know."

"I don't know?" Ning Jiali was very surprised.

Guo Shasha also cast a questioning glance at her.

Xu Xiuwen said, "The reason I'm with Youran is probably just a habit."

He wasn't just talking nonsense.

He discovered it a long time ago.

Compared to the depth of his love for Cheng Lu.

His love for Xiao Youran didn't seem so passionate.

Perhaps it's related to the time he met Xiao Youran and Cheng Lu.

Cheng Lu was his ideal woman from a past life, someone he could only dream of but never reach.

And people always yearn for what they cannot have.

Therefore, his love for Cheng Lu was intense.

But facing Xiao Youran.

His feelings for Xiao Youran were accumulated bit by bit over the past ten years.

It's less about love and more about getting used to having Xiao Youran around.

If we're just talking about feelings, Xu Xiuwen has stronger feelings for Cheng Lu, while his feelings for Xiao Youran are less intense.

After hearing Xu Xiuwen's words, Ning Jiali and Guo Shasha both fell silent.

Ning Jiali's eyes showed incomprehension and confusion.

In contrast, Guo Shasha immediately understood Xu Xiuwen's meaning.

Ning Jiali had told her this before.

Xu Xiuwen and Xiao Youran are childhood sweethearts.

Their relationship was deeper than that of most couples.

It would be very difficult for Guo Shasha to take her place.

In front of Ning Jiali, Guo Shasha said that she had never thought of replacing her; she would be content as long as she was Xu Xiuwen's lover.

But is she truly content with being a lover?

The answer is naturally no.

It is said that a soldier who does not aspire to be a general is not a good soldier.

The same reason.

A lover who doesn't aspire to be the official wife is not a good lover.

This statement may seem illogical, but it is actually quite reasonable.

If a mistress wants to become the official wife, then she must make the man happy.

Then she has to constantly provide emotional value to men.

on the contrary.

If a lover has absolutely no desire to become the dominant partner.

Then she could easily fall into a state of giving up.

Those who are more honest might simply reduce the provision of emotional value.

Those who are not honest might go out and mess around.

Therefore, a lover who doesn't want to rise in status is definitely not a qualified lover.

Back to the topic.

After hearing Xu Xiuwen's words, Guo Shasha

The first thing that came to her mind was: what if Xu Xiuwen's love for Xiao Youran was just a habit?

The relationship, seemingly that of childhood sweethearts, is the deepest.

However, this is precisely a shackle.

This shackle will bind Xu Xiuwen.

No man likes to be restricted, especially an outstanding man like Xu Xiuwen.

Therefore, her chances of taking over the position will greatly increase.
