CHAPTER 05 The Second Method of Pursuing a Woman: Relentless Pursuit

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

I closed the door and called Xia Changning on my phone, intending to curse him out, but he preemptively laughed and said, "Fusheng, I already admit that I was talking nonsense, what else do you want me to say?"

"Do not cry, just consider it my nonsense," Xia Changning replied anxiously

I have thought it through clearly. Please do not disturb me again, especially when you are drunk! I still remember how he acted like a rogue, cursing wildly after getting drunk that day

Aunt soon became serious, thought for a moment and said: "Indeed, we cannot afford to provoke Xia Changning. If you don't mean it, it's better not to get involved."

Not accepting, resolutely not accepting

I merely went to the shooting range! I was coerced into going by him! I am filled with grief and indignation!

Xia Changning seemed a bit surprised, hesitating for a moment before saying: "What I am giving is a ring, Fusheng, think it over carefully."

Xia Changning's laughter lasted for several seconds, and I could hear him uncontrollably laughing. After he had laughed enough, he said: "I work in security; how could I not know what sound the speakerphone button makes? Moreover, you even reminded me to clarify things in front of your parents. Sometimes, you can be really foolish!"

Is it really that simple

After I finished speaking, I hung up the phone and happily went to find my aunt, asking her to return the ring to Xia Changning

Aunt went to Director Wang's house and returned with a ring, then told mom what happened

"Fusheng, what is wrong with you? Calm down. I know my proposal was a bit sudden, but I just wanted to express that I am serious and have marriage in mind." His voice was very calm, yet it exploded in the house like a thunderclap.

Are you planning to accept it

Aunt looked at the ring and shook her head, "Why would he give such a tacky gift? If he wants to give something, he should give a diamond ring! But, is he perhaps drawn to the character '福' (fortune) on it? Oh dear, '福生' (Fu Sheng), it has your name on it. Xia Changning is indeed thoughtful!"

My mother glared at me and said: "What is the meaning of this ring? No wonder you haven't been going on blind dates, no wonder you insist that you have someone you like from the past. To what extent have you and Xia Changning developed?"

I almost shouted

I suddenly felt happy, sniffed my nose, and said to my parents: "Look, he admits that he was talking nonsense."

Although I had made up my mind, I still couldn't help but glance at his motorcycle a couple more times. It wasn't just me; everyone who passed by couldn't resist looking at him and his motorcycle.

Xia Changning said slowly, "I bet you don't dare."

Accept it, I will no longer force you to be my girlfriend

I honestly recounted what had happened, and my mother was extremely angry, pointing at me and saying: "You... why did you go to the shooting range with someone you don't even like?"

Xia Changning and the Halley’s Comet passed by the street corner and disappeared, without a single extra word

Aunt will not return it to Xia Changning; she will only look for opportunities to go to Xia Changning's home and return it to his mother, Director Wang. She will take the opportunity to chat with Director Wang about everyday matters to strengthen their relationship. Isn't the matter regarding Uncle's job transfer still not settled?

Commute to and from work, occasionally go shopping with Meizi, and spend most of the time at home

I smiled at him and said, "Have fun, goodbye"

Xia Changning seemed to be waiting for this statement, and with a light smile, said: "Fusheng, I keep my word and have given you an opportunity..."

Like many girls, I enjoy looking at cars but do not have a desire to understand them. This motorcycle is so beautiful, it captures my attention even more than Xia Changning. The glossy black metallic paint, paired with a dawn-like orange-red, along with its design, I truly adore it

I firmly rejected the next blind date and told my parents: "I just started working, this is the new semester, and the pressure is quite significant"

Of course, I certainly want to know. I simply do not understand why. "Can you make it clear for me? I'm about to go crazy because of you!"

My mother scolded me harshly. I felt extremely wronged. I tried to explain to her, but she only believed in the saying that it takes two to tango. I was both angry and anxious, and on the spot, I called Xia Changning and put the call on speakerphone, "Xia Changning, tell me clearly in front of my parents whether I, Ning Fusheng, have ever been ambiguous with you!"

Aunt let out a sigh and said, "Fusheng, Xia Changning's conditions are truly impressive. Are you really not moved?"

I did not sleep well all night

Everyone knows what it means to give a ring, I absolutely cannot accept it! I called Xia Changning and said directly: "Take the ring back! I don't want it!"

My life seems to have returned to its original state

I held the box in my hand, feeling as if it were a hot potato. Where should I throw it? The trash can? I truly did not dare to throw it away. Suddenly, a thought struck me, wasn't there still my aunt? I bit my lip and said, "If I accept it, you won't come looking for me anymore? You keep your word, right?"

My parents are teachers, so they naturally understand. However, my mother keeps insisting that I must go on a blind date during the winter vacation

Winter vacation, let's talk about it later

"The day after tomorrow, I will pick you up after work, and this time I will let you know why." Xia Changning's voice suddenly became somewhat weary, and after softly saying this, she hung up the phone

Before the winter break had even arrived, and with just a week to go, Xia Changning made another appearance. He leaned coolly against an even cooler motorcycle

I was too naive in my thinking

You don't mind, you want to be my girlfriend, right

I threw it away. I intend to hang up the phone

I resolutely shake my head

Do you really want to know why

I quickly unwrapped the packaging and opened the box. Inside was a ring, a gaudy gold ring with the character "福" engraved on its face! I was struck by lightning once again

She hung up the phone and sighed, "You child, we are not being stubborn. What is there to be embarrassed about in a normal relationship? Let's invite Xia Changning over to our house another day, and I will discuss it with your father. You have known him for less than a month; it is too early to talk about marriage. We do not agree. Fusheng, you need to interact more and understand him better. Do not act impulsively, and make sure you do not regret not seeing things clearly in the future."

Suitable for a rogue to show off! I sighed, it's a Harley! A motorcycle that costs three hundred thousand! When I woke up, what was I thinking? I should really be thinking about how Xia Changning appeared again!

When I saw him as I walked out of the school gate, I blinked my eyes. What should I say to him this time? I was quite at a loss for words with him.

This sentence is too dreamy, my hand has almost surpassed my judgment and taken the box.

My parents looked at me strangely. My mother quickly picked up the phone and, after a moment of thought, asked: "Xia, are you and Fusheng getting a bit too close? Your father and I haven't met you yet. This matter... well, well, it's good like this. Let's spend more time together before discussing it. Come over to our house to play when you have time..."

I wanted to nod, but I resolutely shook my head. The relationship between Che and Xia Changning is no longer a matter of having both fish and bear's paw, but rather that the fish has grown a bear's paw. As long as I dare to desire it, I will be crushed to pieces.

You can tell my mother that I have no relationship with you

The more she spoke, the more she pouted, but then her expression brightened and she smiled, "Fu Sheng has never been in a relationship, so it's normal to feel shy. In the future, don't hide it from your parents. If you want to date, do it openly and honestly!"

As my aunt's words became increasingly absurd, Xia Changning was quickly turning into my subordinate in her narrative. I hurriedly interrupted her fanciful thoughts, taking her hand and acting coy, "Give it back to him, Aunt. What would happen if I accepted something from Xia Changning but didn't end up in a relationship with him"

Not!

Hehe, Fusheng, you are truly naive. If I were willing to tell her like this, would I not say it when you pressed the speakerphone and your parents were listening beside you?

My aunt was also pleased, echoing what my parents said about the situation at Xia Changning's home. I had no way to argue back, so I made an excuse to prepare for my lessons and returned to my room

Mom and Dad jumped up from the sofa and gathered around the phone

No response? I muttered to myself as I walked, has Xia Changning changed his nature? Or is it true that he didn't come to find me? Just as I was nearing my front door, I heard the roar of a motorcycle. Startled, I turned around and saw Xia Changning and his Harley stopping beside me. He grinned and handed me a box, "I was on a business trip last week and bought you a gift!"

I successfully reached my goal, and my heart was filled with joy

After hesitating for a moment, I recalled the scene on Ginkgo Avenue where he did not seek me out, and I took the initiative to greet him. I decided to turn a blind eye.

"Xia Changning, could you please let me go? I am not worth your efforts like this. What benefits are there in finding someone who does not like you?" I could not argue with him, so I had to plead with him.

The biggest mistake I made was reporting to a higher level without first discussing it with my mother, and instead, I told my aunt.

What is mother saying

What did Director Wang say? It is said among friends and family that her second child has found a sharpshooter girlfriend. Fusheng, why aren't you being honest? It takes two to tango; if you had not shown any feelings towards Xia Changning, would he act this way? He claims you are his girlfriend and even gave you a ring? This ring was not bought; it is a relic left to him by his grandmother! Would he casually give away something so important?

Xia Changning patted the leather seat of the motorcycle and smiled, "Do you like this? Would you like to give it a try?"

I was taken aback, "How did you know I pressed the hands-free button?"

My tears are about to fall, I said choked with emotion: "When did I ever become your girlfriend? When did I agree to be with you? What proposal? You are talking nonsense!"

The Harley motorcycle, comparable to a BMW, gives a feeling of riding with the wind He eloquently uttered a pearl of wisdom

Alright, I accept it

Well, I have always kept my word

Is this called an opportunity? I am at a loss for words.
