Chapter 1649: Another Infatuated Soul

Fast Chinese.

To show that she was truly not a delicate young lady, she insisted on sweeping the courtyard of the Sheng Family.

Shi Youxuan could not stop her, so she had to let her be.

Only after Bai Manman finished sweeping the courtyard did she follow Shi Youxuan into the living room, wiping away tears while stating her position.

"Auntie, things between Zirui and me cannot just end. I know he doesn't like me, but I like him so, so much. I have liked him for many years, and no matter whether he likes me or not, I want to be with him..."

It turned out that her affectation yesterday was all an act; everything she did was to cater to others, to be worthy of Sheng Zirui.

The result, however, was counterproductive, instead provoking Zirui's aversion.

Shi Youxuan was caught between laughter and tears.

She felt that a girl like Bai Manman was actually quite straightforward and cute.

But she felt it wouldn't do; it had to be that her own son felt it was good for it to be truly good.

Bai Manman had been constantly inquiring about Zirui's preferences, preparing to cater to his tastes. She was genuinely fond of Zirui and racked her brains to please him, to the point that even Shi Youxuan could not bear to watch.

Shi Youxuan said, "You cannot be like this. A girl must have her own personality and thoughts. The more you act like this, the less Zirui will like you."

"Auntie, then what should I do?" Sweat appeared on her nervous face.

Shi Youxuan told her to just be herself, there was no need to please others so much!

She was truly looking out for Bai Manman, and what she said came from the bottom of her heart.

Bai Manman agreed readily, but did not take it to heart!

She thought it was Zirui's mother testing her; how could a mother teach a girl not to care about her own son?

Right, it must be a test.

She would treat Zirui twice as well; she believed that sincerity could move even metal and stone, and Zirui would surely be moved by her.

Jiangzhou University.

Zirui came out of the classroom and picked up his phone to take a casual look—he was startled!

Good heavens, they were all missed calls.

No, not all missed calls, there were also overwhelming messages.

On WeChat, on QQ, Weibo, DingTalk...

Every way Bai Manman could contact him was flooded with her messages.

There were too many messages, and he was too lazy to read them, so he called back—what if there was something important?

Facts proved that the reason "what if" is called "what if" is because it is a thing that very rarely happens.

There was nothing important; there were only humble apologies and endless explanations!

"Zirui, I was wrong, everything was my fault. I thought your family was a wealthy, prestigious one and that you would like a refined and sophisticated girl. I was excited for several whole days just to see you, and I prepared for several days..."

"... I won't do that ever again. Tell me what kind of girl you like, and I will change. I will definitely change, I will change into the way you like..."

Sheng Zirui was speechless.

He silently hung up the phone and blocked all her contact methods.

Sure enough, it was still her.

Still the same Bai Manman he was familiar with.

He could imagine what she would say and what she would do next, even if he tried to think about it.

Can't afford to provoke her, so block her and hide.

Sheng Zirui could strategize at a young age, but he had wrongly estimated Bai Manman.

Because as far as Bai Manman was concerned, he could neither afford to provoke her nor hide from her.

The next day.

Zirui was with his roommates, preparing to go to the Cafeteria for breakfast. As soon as he walked out of the dormitory, he saw Bai Manman standing at the entrance, holding a bag in her hand.

"Zirui!" She happily lunged at him, wanting to hug Zirui.

He was startled, hurriedly dodged, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I came to bring you breakfast. Your favorite century egg and lean meat porridge, beef pies, and shredded kelp with garlic. I got up at three in the morning to cook the porridge. Will you taste if it's good?"

His roommates winked and teased, "Not bad, Zirui, you're full of surprises."

"Buddy, you're still the impressive one. We brothers should all learn from you."

"Exactly, impressive!"

The few of them didn't spell it out, but those who understood the meaning, understood.

A few days ago, Zirui was excitedly dating one girl, and it had only been a few days, yet he had already switched to another girl coming to bring him porridge, her eyes full of love.

Usually, classmate Sheng Zirui always had an air of "strangers keep away" and "untouched by worldly concerns," so they had thought he was uninterested in women.

Who knew they had misjudged him; he was the type who would rather not make a sound, but when he did, he would stun everyone!

"Get lost!"

Zirui was not polite, sending his roommates off with two simple words.

The few of them walked away laughing; they couldn't stay and be third wheels.

Zirui's brow furrowed even tighter, and he said to Bai Manman, "Take it back. Don't come looking for me again in the future."

"Why?"

Her tears fell instantly.

Sheng Zirui suspected his mother had not made things clear, so he decided to express the meaning clearly himself.

"Bai Manman, you are a good girl, but I have no feelings for you. Do you understand?"

"I don't understand!"

She grabbed Sheng Zihan's arm and pleaded pitifully, "It doesn't matter if you have no feelings; feelings are cultivated slowly. People in ancient times married first and fell in love later; we can also imitate the ancients. I will be a virtuous wife and a good mother, and be the woman behind you."

"I will always support you and never cause you any trouble."

"I don't like you."

"I don't care, as long as I like you, that's enough."

Sheng Zirui:...

He hated this routine the most.

Bai Manman cried like a flower drenched in rain; pestering him would not move Sheng Zirui, it would only make him loathe her more!

He dropped the line, "Don't pester me," and went to class, not even eating breakfast; he had no appetite.

Film Academy.

When Zihan saw Bai Manman, he was somewhat surprised: "Bai Manman, are you here to look for me?"

"Mm."

She only let out a "Mm," and tears fell down.

"Who bullied you? Don't cry, don't cry. Tell me what grievances you have, and I will stand up for you."

Sheng Zihan could not stand seeing girls cry; no matter what kind of girl was crying, he could not bear it.

For some people, cherishing the fair and pitying the fragile is not a tactic, but an instinct, a trait they are born with.

"Zirui, it's Zirui..."

Bai Manman sobbed, but she still managed to make the matter clear.

She told Zihan that the two families had originally agreed on everything, but after she went on one date with Zirui, his words had changed; Zirui was now ignoring her, and she was very sad, not knowing what to do, so she found him to ask for his help in coming up with ideas on how to make Zirui change his mind!

"I thought it was something serious; is it just this? Don't worry, leave it to me."

Sheng Zihan took full responsibility and agreed immediately.

He loved meddling in these kinds of things the most.

Especially things related to Zirui.

He began jumping around, creating opportunities for Bai Manman and Zirui!

Didn't Zirui tell her not to come looking for him?

Then they would just have a "chance encounter."
