Rebirth begins with rejecting Qingmei

Chapter 1418 Guo Shasha Confronts Herself!

Just as Xu Xiuwen thought, Guo Shasha wasn't truly indifferent.

In fact, she cared more than anyone else.

If she had known earlier that Xu Xiuwen was so difficult to handle, she most likely wouldn't have given him her first time.

She wouldn't be in this predicament now, caught between a rock and a hard place.

However, Guo Shasha has another advantage, which is that she has a strong determination.

Since she no longer has the right to regret, she will strive to the very end for her future.

After she finished speaking, what she wanted to hear was a promise from Xu Xiuwen, who was moved by her words.

However, Xu Xiuwen said nothing.

She was immediately embarrassed.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became awkward.

Seeing this, Guo Shasha offered, "Senior, if you can't sleep, I have a solution."

Xu Xiuwen glanced at her and asked, "The method you're suggesting isn't counting goats, is it?"

Guo Shasha was stunned.

Xu Xiuwen said, "I've already tried the method you mentioned, and it didn't work for me."

Guo Shasha said, "Actually, I have another method."

Is there another way?

Xu Xiuwen raised an eyebrow.

Guo Shasha stood in the moonlight.

The cool moonlight fell on her face, as if coating her with a thin layer of silver gauze, making her less alluring and more aloof.

For some reason, looking at Guo Shasha's little face, Xu Xiuwen was suddenly moved.

He asked in a deep voice, "What method?"

Guo Shasha whispered, "When I was little, I couldn't sleep. As long as I lay on my grandma's lap and she gently patted my back, I would fall asleep quickly..."

Xu Xiuwen: "..."

His surprised expression clearly showed that he had not expected Guo Shasha to use this method.

Xu Xiuwen vaguely guessed Guo Shasha's purpose at this moment.

He could have easily taken the opportunity to refuse, but considering Guo Shasha's behavior today...

So he decided to give Guo Shasha a chance.

Xu Xiuwen pretended to be stupid and said, "But my grandmother isn't here, so this method doesn't seem to work."

Guo Shasha chuckled upon hearing this.

Looking back, Bai Meisheng smiled, and the Sixth Palace had no color.

Add to that her innate charm.

Guo Shasha was undoubtedly moving at this moment.

Xu Xiuwen was lost in thought after just one glance.

It wasn't until Guo Shasha gently reminded him that he finally snapped out of his daze.

Xu Xiuwen asked, "Sasha, what are you laughing at?"

Guo Shasha suppressed a laugh and asked, "Senior, did you hurt your head this time?"

Xu Xiuwen frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Guo Shasha said, "Although your grandma isn't here, I'm still here. You can lie on my lap and I'll lull you to sleep."

Xu Xiuwen has been pretending to be stupid.

He continued pretending.

"I didn't even think of that until you told me, but this isn't really a good idea."

Guo Shasha replied without hesitation, "What does it matter?"

"But men and women should not touch each other."

After hearing this, Guo Shasha thought to herself: You've already slept with me, and you're still saying that men and women shouldn't be intimate? Is that a lie?

However, she would not and could not expose Xu Xiuwen.

Guo Shasha chuckled and then said, "Senior, what era are we living in? Why are you still so old-fashioned? Besides, it's just the two of us here. As long as you don't say anything and I don't say anything, no one will know."

Xu Xiuwen said, "What if Lili suddenly barges in and sees us?"

Guo Shasha immediately replied, "Lili is already asleep. If you're still worried, I can lock the door from the inside, so Lili won't see us."

Xu Xiuwen continued, "What if you run into her getting up to use the restroom when you go out?"

Hearing this, Guo Shasha felt that Xu Xiuwen was a bit indecisive and not like a decisive man.

She was somewhat disappointed in Xu Xiuwen.

The latter's score in her mind also decreased slightly.

Guo Shasha thought for a moment and said to Xu Xiuwen, "Senior, it can't be that coincidental... Even if we do run into each other, I can just say I couldn't sleep and came to chat with you..."

"Isn't this a bad idea?" Xu Xiuwen feigned hesitation.

Guo Shasha naturally noticed it too.

She felt even more disappointed in Xu Xiuwen.

He actually intended to shift the blame onto her.

That's not how a man behaves.

However, Xu Xiuwen did score quite high in her heart.

Losing one or two points won't affect the overall situation at all.

Guo Shasha continued, "It's okay, senior, anyway, Lili knows me... I..."

She repeated the word "I" twice, but hesitated to say the rest.

Although she didn't say the whole sentence, Xu Xiuwen could still guess what she wanted to say.

It's nothing more than saying things like "I like you".

Xu Xiuwen thought for a moment and said, "Maybe we should just forget about it. Maybe I'll be able to fall asleep soon."

Even after all that had been said, Xu Xiuwen still refused.

Even if Guo Shasha is very good at swallowing her anger.

She couldn't hold back any longer at this moment.

Guo Shasha glared at Xu Xiuwen and said, "Senior, you've gone too far!"

"What?" Xu Xiuwen was taken aback.

This time, he wasn't pretending to be stupid; he was genuinely surprised.

Guo Shasha said, "You can't keep humiliating me just because I like you."

She spoke out in anger what she hadn't said before.

Xu Xiuwen looked on in astonishment. "When did I humiliate you?"

He ignored Guo Shasha's words, "I like you."

Guo Shasha said, "You don't want me to lull you to sleep. You could have just refused me directly, but you had to use this kind of excuse that doesn't even make sense... Do you think I'm some kind of despicable person?"

Xu Xiuwen: "..."

This sounds familiar.

It feels like I've heard it somewhere before.

But that's not the point.

Xu Xiuwen pondered for a moment and said, "Sasha, do you have some misunderstanding about me?"

Guo Shasha said, "I don't know if it's a misunderstanding, but I know that you've been treating me like this because you look down on me from the bottom of your heart... I know I lied to you back then, but I've realized my mistake and apologized. You can't keep holding onto this; it's so unfair to me..."

Xu Xiuwen fell silent.

It's not surprising that Guo Shasha would think this way.

Because he did seem too hesitant just now.

It was nothing serious, but I still rejected her in the end.

Think differently.

If he were Guo Shasha, his mood would only be worse, not better.

Guo Shasha's heart sank when she saw that Xu Xiuwen remained silent.

She was starting to regret it.

But words are like water, once spilled, cannot be taken back.

Guo Shasha had no choice but to grit her teeth and hold the fort.

She hardened her heart and said, "Senior, I don't blame you for leaving me and Lili there in a huff last time, but I'm not made of clay, and even clay has a temper... Give me a straight answer today. If you really hate me that much and don't want to see me at all, I'll leave immediately and never appear in front of you again. But if you don't hate me, I hope you can be honest with me!"

Guo Shasha was even more nervous than Xu Xiuwen after she finished speaking.

Because when she first came to find Xu Xiuwen, she just wanted to see if he was asleep. If he wasn't, she wanted to say a few words to him and ease the tension.

Somehow, it turned out that she was the one who confronted Xu Xiuwen.

What if Xu Xiuwen really says he hates her?
Does this mean she will never appear in front of Xu Xiuwen again?

Guo Shasha was genuinely unwilling.

But now it seems there's no going back.

She could only hope that Xu Xiuwen wouldn't dislike her.

But... is that even possible?

I still vividly remember how decisively Xu Xiuwen left last time.

Based solely on his performance on this one day.

Will Xu Xiuwen really change his opinion of her?
Guo Shasha lacked confidence.

So she was very uneasy.

Xu Xiuwen really didn't expect Guo Shasha to suddenly reveal her true colors.

Actually, he was only a little angry when Guo Shasha tricked him at the moment; after so much time has passed, he really isn't angry anymore.

However, he was too cunning towards Guo Shasha and didn't really like her that much.

However, after spending the day together...

He had seen everything Guo Shasha had done.

Although Guo Shasha's cooking wasn't particularly delicious, at least she was willing to cook it herself, and that showed her attitude. In fact, it's not just girls who always value their boyfriends' 'attitude'; boys also care a great deal about how women treat them.

In addition, Guo Shasha behaved far too obediently today.

It's hard for him not to slightly change his opinion of Guo Shasha.

But then again.

Xu Xiuwen is not ready to accept Guo Shasha.

He still intends to continue evaluating Guo Shasha.

I just didn't expect her to suddenly reveal her true colors.

This immediately disrupted his plans.

If Xu Xiuwen says he hates her now.

Then she might become disheartened and give up directly.

This may have been Xu Xiuwen's original intention, but now he is starting to hesitate.

If Xu Xiuwen says he doesn't dislike her.

Given Guo Shasha's personality, she might mistake this statement for his acceptance of her.

Then she will likely become completely entangled with Xu Xiuwen.

This is not what Xu Xiuwen wanted to see either.

But it seems there are no other options besides these two.

Does that mean I both hate you and don't hate you?

This kind of answer doesn't make you seem smart; it makes you seem like a clown.

Xu Xiuwen would certainly not do that.

After careful consideration, Xu Xiuwen did not rush to answer, but instead asked in return, "What kind of answer do you hope to hear?"

Guo Shasha was stunned.

She never expected that Xu Xiuwen would throw this question back at her.

She was unhappy at first, but she quickly realized what was going on.

If Xu Xiuwen really dislikes her and doesn't want to see her again, he can just say so directly.

There was absolutely no need for him to ask her a question.

Xu Xiuwen's behavior proves one thing: he doesn't dislike her!
Guo Shasha first breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt genuinely happy.

Guo Shasha's biggest fear is having no room for maneuver.

Since Xu Xiuwen didn't dislike her, she had room to maneuver.

Guo Shasha did not show her joy too obviously.

She composed herself and said, "I don't know..."

Xu Xiuwen: "???"

Guo Shasha actually said she didn't know?

This answer was once again beyond Xu Xiuwen's expectations.

Guo Shasha continued, "I like you, I won't deny that, but I'm the kind of person who would never force someone..."

Xu Xiuwen: "..."

At this point, he roughly understood Guo Shasha's intentions.

She's planning to play hard to get with him.

If the other party is An Shishi, Xu Xiuwen wouldn't mind playing around with her.

But the other party was Guo Shasha.

Xu Xiuwen doesn't dislike Guo Shasha, but that doesn't mean he's fallen in love with her.

He doesn't dislike push-pull dynamics in male-female relationships.

However, this is on the premise that he is the one pushing or pulling.

Guo Shasha cannot be the initiator.

Xu Xiuwen briefly considered it.

If he really wants to accept Guo Shasha, he must keep Guo Shasha in check in order to ensure harmony in his relationship.

At the very least, we can't let her cause us trouble.

therefore.

Xu Xiuwen's expression suddenly turned cold.

He said, "If that's the case, then forget it."

Guo Shasha: "???"

Xu Xiuwen's attitude changed too quickly.

This is very wrong.

However, she didn't have time to think about what was wrong.

Guo Shasha's mind was filled with thoughts of what to do.
How can she win back Xu Xiuwen?
She was starting to regret her earlier overconfidence.

Why say such things at this particular moment?
She could have simply not said it.

They really are suffering for the sake of saving face.

Guo Shasha felt like slapping herself twice.

"Don't~"

Guo Shasha quickly tried to persuade her to stay.

Xu Xiuwen cast his gaze over.

Guo Shasha said, "I really hope you don't hate me!"

Xu Xiuwen's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, but the smile vanished immediately.

He looked at Guo Shasha and said, "Don't misunderstand, I just don't dislike you anymore..."

Upon hearing this, Guo Shasha felt an itch of anger.

She was also very resentful.

You should know that she was the campus belle of Jinling Normal University.

At least in the top three.

Including junior high and high school, she was always the school beauty.

She's always the one rejecting others; no one else ever rejects her.

But Guo Shasha dared not say anything.

She could only endure it in silence.

Guo Shasha nodded and said, "It's okay, one day I'll make you like me."

Xu Xiuwen smiled.

No one knew whether his laugh was one of approval or mockery.

Guo Shasha also didn't quite understand.

At this time.

Xu Xiuwen said, "Alright, you should go back to sleep now."

Guo Shasha shook her head and refused.

"No! I can't leave!"

"Hmm?" Xu Xiuwen cast a questioning glance at him.

Guo Shasha reminded him, "Have you forgotten? I still need to lull you to sleep."

Xu Xiuwen: "..."

He really wanted to say no, but Guo Shasha's eyes made it impossible for him to refuse.

That pitiful look, tinged with a hint of pleading, is what softens people's hearts the most.

Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Vixen!"

If Guo Shasha didn't have such a pretty face, Xu Xiuwen might have been able to refuse her.

But he simply couldn't refuse now.

Xu Xiuwen said in a deep voice, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Guo Shasha said, "It doesn't matter to me, unless you dislike me."

Xu Xiuwen couldn't continue speaking.

Otherwise, he would be seen as disliking Guo Shasha.

Xu Xiuwen sighed and said, "Alright then."

Guo Shasha immediately smiled.

Xu Xiuwen asked, "What should I do?"

Guo Shasha said, "Wait a moment, let me sit down first."

"it is good."

Guo Shasha walked to the bedside, found a good spot to sit down, and then said to Xu Xiuwen, "Lie down on my lap."

Xu Xiuwen nodded, and was about to do so.

Guo Shasha suddenly said, "This might not be very comfortable, so I'd like to change seats."

This time, she kicked off her shoes without Xu Xiuwen's permission and climbed into bed.

Xu Xiuwen's heart skipped a beat.

Is Guo Shasha planning to use her beauty to seduce him?
She seriously underestimated his composure.
Although Xu Xiuwen lacked self-control, he knew she was using a honey trap with ulterior motives.

He was still able to control himself.

However, before Xu Xiuwen could speak...

Guo Shasha found a suitable spot.

She leaned against the headboard, then stretched out her legs and laid them flat on the bed.

Then she said to Xu Xiuwen, "Senior, why don't you lie down? It'll be more comfortable this way."

Xu Xiuwen: "..."

Guo Shasha's words seemed to be entirely for his benefit.
