Peerless: You've already become a Title Douluo, and this is the first time you've come to

Chapter 71 But that's not what I wanted to hear.

"turn out to be."

"I call this 'getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later'..."

Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but murmur slowly.

Although she achieved it while not fully conscious, she had already accomplished it a month ago.

"Xiao Tao?"

"Don't be so shy. This is just a suggestion, and I know you wouldn't actually do it."

Looking at Ma Xiaotao's rosy face, Xixi thought that the other party was shocked by her statement, so she quickly looked at her and explained.

It would be terrible if my best friend thought she was some kind of weird girl because of this plan.

"Uh-huh."

"I know that too."

Ma Xiaotao nodded somewhat hesitantly, forcing a smile onto her face as if she agreed.

"That's good……"

The other party finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

In the time that followed, Xixi meticulously explained her ideas and plans, sharing all the thoughts in her mind.

Of course, this content didn't actually provide Ma Xiaotao with any real help, since Xixi, who was also single, was only talking about it theoretically.

However, she had to admit that her nervousness and shyness had completely disappeared during the conversation. Now, she no longer felt shy when she thought of Chu Ge as she had before.

Because after Xixi said "get on the train first and buy the ticket later," all the shyness in her heart was consumed by that.

"Xiao Tao, good luck."

As dusk settled, leaving the teacher's office and feeling Yan Shaozhe's smiling gaze, Ma Xiaotao took a deep breath and nodded earnestly.

Good luck!

She was the first to arrive at the grilled fish restaurant, sitting quietly on a small chair outside, with a calm and smiling expression on her face.

At first, she didn't really approve of her teacher Yan Shaozhe inviting the other person on her behalf. After all, what kind of teacher invites someone on behalf of a student?

But now that I think about it, it really has to be her teacher!

Ironically, if she had gone to find him herself, she probably wouldn't have been able to say a single word!

"Leaving aside the past, even now, we need to think carefully about the words we use in communication..."

She murmured to herself.

"Chu Ge, what do you think of me?"

"Do you think I would be a good girlfriend? What do you think of us being together...?"

Ma Xiaotao was lost in thought about how to talk to Chu Ge, and the scene involuntarily appeared in her mind.

Her face, which had just managed to regain its composure, was now flushed red again, like a ripe little apple.

These questions are really embarrassing!

But she really had no experience in this area, and even with Xixi's help, that couldn't change the fact that she would have to face things alone in the end.

If we don't start thinking of a good method now, she'll be incredibly shy when the two of them are actually together.

"I'm already this timid and girlish even before I'm with Chu Ge. I wonder what it will be like if I really are with Chu Ge..."

Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but ponder for a moment, her beautiful eyes sparkling with shyness. She dared not imagine what it would be like if she really ended up with Chu Ge...

That would be wonderful!

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"What are you thinking about, Momo?"

Just as she was pondering, a handsome and tall figure appeared beside her; it was none other than Chu Ge with a smile on his face.

"Chu Ge..."

Hearing the sound, Ma Xiaotao came to her senses.

An unnatural expression flashed across her face, and she instinctively lowered her head, a look of panic filling her beautiful eyes.

Even now, whenever she sees him, she can't help but think of their two previous interactions, and her mood is naturally not very calm.

"you……"

"Would you like some grilled fish?"

Seemingly feeling that it wasn't right for her to keep her head down and remain silent, Ma Xiaotao pursed her lips and asked tentatively.

Since we agreed to meet at a grilled fish restaurant, it was definitely not a problem to suggest eating grilled fish.

"..."

"I'll treat you."

Chu Ge hadn't expected the person in front of him to bring this up as the first topic. Seeing the person's nervous expression, he didn't mind and spoke up.

Without giving the other person a chance to refuse, he bought two skewers of grilled fish, took one for himself, and handed the other person the other skewer.

"good……"

"Thanks."

Ma Xiaotao looked up somewhat shyly, obediently accepted the grilled fish offered by the other party, and replied.

But in her heart, she was already furious with herself. What was wrong with Ma Xiaotao? You actually took it!

You invited Chu Ge, so why did you let Chu Ge buy it again?

You idiot Ma Xiaotao, you idiot Ma Xiaotao!

"Don't sit here, and... I don't think you just wanted to invite me here for grilled fish."

Chu Ge's gaze fell on her, and he seemed to realize that her thoughts were not just about eating here. He smiled and said.

The real key point is what the two of them want to say to each other. Although they don't know why the other chose this place, it's not a good place to talk with so many people around.

"Would you like to take a walk with me?"

After a moment's thought, he extended an invitation.

"Um!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao did not refuse. Her eyes lit up, and she nodded heavily. Then, while holding the grilled fish, she followed the other person as they walked around the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy.

As dusk fell, the lights of the academy came on one by one, creating a beautiful scene under the night sky, just as Chu Ge and Ma Xiaotao saw it.

The two walked further and further away until they were far from the area with many students. They didn't say anything along the way, as if they were waiting for the other to speak first.

"I have something to tell you."

Arriving at a quiet path, to Chu Ge's surprise, Ma Xiaotao took the initiative to start a conversation, speaking softly.

"Speak."

Chu Ge responded softly.

What do you think of me as a person?

Looking at the person in front of her, Ma Xiaotao, disregarding her shyness, couldn't help but speak.

"That's good."

"She's talented, a nice person, and easy to get along with. She's a good girl."

I think you're great.

Chu Ge smiled gently. It would be impossible for him to say that he had no interest in this girl with whom he had an unexpected encounter.

He already had a good impression of the person in front of him, and after experiencing two upheavals, there was no need to say more; everything was understood without words.

"A nice girl, huh?"

"But that's not what I want to hear..."

Ma Xiaotao looked dejected, opened her mouth, and finally mustered up the courage to speak.

"What do you think I would be like as a girlfriend?"

She raised her head, her beautiful eyes looking expectantly at the person in front of her, and said, word by word.
