Chapter 1502: Let

Wang Sinian's question was truly infuriating!

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't speak either, just pressed her lips together tightly.

And Wang Sinian, as if afraid that Xu Xiaoxiao wouldn't be angry enough, even bent down and asked her, "Don't you think you're a bit pathetic?"

"Pathetic!?"

"Yeah, you're so cautious, yet Jiang Chenghao doesn't know anything."

"He doesn't need to know!"

Wang Sinian shook his head and denied it: "Dead wrong! Why don't you just confess so he can know your feelings?"

"That's my own business, don't you be a busybody!"

"I think you're just afraid of failure. When you really like someone, how can there be so many misgivings?"

Wang Sinian was questioning Xu Xiaoxiao's feelings for Jiang Chenghao.

But did Xu Xiaoxiao need him to question her?!

Besides, this guy had a bunch of twisted logic; Xu Xiaoxiao had long since stopped listening!

At that moment, she opened her mouth and retorted: "It's your thinking that's too narrow-minded!"

"But love is selfish."

"Wrong, dead wrong! If you really like someone, you want them to be happy, to fulfill their wishes, even if their future doesn't include you—as long as they are happy, that's enough!"

When Xu Xiaoxiao said this, she was extremely serious.

Wang Sinian looked down at her and could see two small, burning flames in her eyes.

It was very infectious.

Unfortunately, it couldn't convince Wang Sinian.

He tilted his head and asked back: "But why can't I be the one who brings him happiness?"

"Because... many things are destined from the very beginning."

Wang Sinian shook his head and denied it: "I still believe that human effort can achieve anything."

"But feelings cannot be forced!"

"Why, why is it that other things can be achieved with effort, but feelings can't? In my worldview, as long as you want something, you can fight for it!"

As expected, it was impossible to communicate with this guy!

Xu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly and then complained: "Your values are truly twisted!"

Wang Sinian didn't hear clearly what Xu Xiaoxiao was saying and asked: "What are you muttering about?"

Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't be bothered to argue with him anymore and just said: "If you put this kind of energy into other places, your grandfather wouldn't be so worried about you."

Xu Xiaoxiao could not be bothered to argue with him anymore, only saying, "If you put this energy into other things, your grandfather wouldn't be so worried about you."

Wang Sinian crossed his arms and muttered: "I'm doing just fine; it's the old man who insists on worrying."

Wang Sinian crossed his arms and muttered, "I'm doing just fine; it's the old man who insists on worrying."

Xu Xiaoxiao stared into his eyes and asked: "If you were really fine, would you have such dark circles under your eyes?"

"That's... because I stayed up late playing games!"

Xu Xiaoxiao wouldn't believe Wang Sinian's nonsense!

However, Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of something, her eyes shifted, and she provoked him: "In my opinion, you're quite pathetic too."

However, Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of something, her eyes darted, and she provocatively said, "In my opinion, you're quite pathetic too."

But Wang Sinian didn't get angry; instead, he asked: "Using reverse psychology? That's a trick I've already played out."

Xu Xiaoxiao wagged her finger, looking serious: "I'm telling the truth. You clearly don't like organizing books in the library, yet you force yourself to do it and refuse to tell the truth—isn't that pathetic?"

"Who says I don't like organizing books? I think it's quite good; it kills time and helps train one's temperament."

"If that were really the case, you wouldn't be unable to sleep and running to school every day to catch up on rest."

Speaking of this, Xu Xiaoxiao thought of something else.

She murmured in realization: "You're afraid to sleep alone. There are many people at school, which gives you a sense of security, so you don't have any sense of security in your heart!"

She muttered in a daze, "You are afraid to sleep alone; there are many people at school, which gives you a sense of security, so you have no sense of security in your heart!"

Wang Sinian suddenly roared.

This roar even gave Xu Xiaoxiao a start.

She tilted her head to look at Wang Sinian and heard him say: "Don't think that just because you're a psychology expert, you understand everything!"

Well, Xu Xiaoxiao certainly didn't understand everything.

But Wang Sinian was actually angry!

This was clearly the reaction of someone whose secret thoughts had been hit upon!

It seems... Jiang Chenghao's lecture wasn't heard in vain!

Communication really does rely on technique!

Wang Sinian had originally been very bothered by Xu Xiaoxiao's "nonsense."

But he didn't expect that after he roared, this woman would actually reveal a smile.

And she didn't speak, but instead, her smile grew even brighter.

This made Wang Sinian frown and ask: "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, just that I feel Jiang Chenghao's lecture has benefited me greatly!"

What? She was clearly chatting with him, yet she could still think of someone else!?

This was... simply too disrespectful!

Wang Sinian's expression turned cold; this was the first time he had shown such an expression in front of Xu Xiaoxiao.

Wang Sinian's expression turned cold; this was the first time he had shown such a look in front of Xu Xiaoxiao.

The voice speaking also carried a chill: "If you really have the ability, then go confess, don't pretend to be deep behind people's backs!"

Xu Xiaoxiao glanced at Wang Sinian and asked, "Whether I confess or not, what does it have to do with you? Why do you care so much about me?"

Wang Sinian was stunned for a moment, then said sullenly, "I just can't stand it!"

"Then there are many things you can't stand; do you have to meddle in every single one? I'm afraid you'd work yourself to death!"

Xu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, and she suddenly stared at Wang Sinian with a smile.

That smile made Wang Sinian lose his focus for a moment, and then, it was as if something in his mind drifted lightly past.

Before Wang Sinian could catch that inexplicable thing, Xu Xiaoxiao proposed first: "How about we make"

"a bet."

"What kind of bet?"

"You tell me the reason for your strange behavior lately, and I will go confess to Jiang Chenghao!"

Xu Xiaoxiao's smile carried a sense of bewitchment.

But Wang Sinian was not bewitched; he even snorted and asked, "Both of these things are beneficial to you and end up fulfilling your wishes, what benefit do I get?"

"Wrong, in my opinion, these two things are clearly beneficial to you!"

Wang Sinian raised an eyebrow, then crossed his arms, waiting for Xu Xiaoxiao to justify herself.

Xu Xiaoxiao extended a finger and began her art of persuasion: "First, I can help you resolve your inner knot and let your life return to normal!"

Wang Sinian snorted lightly: "I don't have an inner knot."

"Whether you have an inner knot or not, you know it yourself; there's no need to emphasize it to me."

"I..."

Xu Xiaoxiao interrupted Wang Sinian's words and continued: "Secondly, the confession... nine times out of ten I'll be rejected; once you know that, won't you be in a good mood?"

"I'm not that bored!"

"Whether you are that bored or not, you know it yourself; there's no need to emphasize it to me."

Wang Sinian felt helpless: "Is that the only sentence you know how to say?"

"I know how to say many more, but I don't want to say them to you!"

Actually, Wang Sinian could feel Xu Xiaoxiao's dislike and rejection of him.

But this time...

He couldn't quite understand it.

So he asked: "Why do you insist on understanding me?"

"Because I want you to owe me a favor; perhaps this way, you can be willing to leave."

So that was it!

Upon learning the truth, Wang Sinian snorted: "Then you've thought too much; I am the type of person who wouldn't consider the issue of favors, only caring about my own happiness!"

"Is that so? Then why not give it a try!"

Xu

Xiaoxiao stared at Wang Sinian without blinking.

And this time... Wang Sinian was successfully bewitched.
