Chapter 456 - The Entanglement Between “Buddies” And “Couples”
Chapter 456: Chapter 457 The Entanglement Between “Buddies” And “Couples”
In the face of Dong Xiaoye, a third wheel that fell from the sky, I really couldn’t do anything. I looked at Liusu helplessly, and said bitterly, “She didn’t want to tell me, but why didn’t you tell me as well. How can this be called a ‘date’, when there are three people?”
Liusu chuckled: “You don’t remember what I told you yesterday? We will meet here today at 1:30 noon. If you are late, you will be in big trouble… This is your problem.”
I didn’t know whether to cry or laugh, “Why are you so sure that I would be late today?”
“You tell me, Whenever we hung out on weekends in the past, which time was you not late before?”
I couldn’t help but blush, “Most of the time, I was not late…”
“Because most of the time, I went to your house and dragged you out of the bed.” Liusu rubbed her temples to show how she had completely given up her hope on me. “You’re a man who is not devoted to anything but sleep. Not only do you sleep like a dead pig, but you also don’t like other people disrupting your sleep. Haven’t you also said that Yuan Yuan was not scared of anything, and she would often find different ways to bully you, but there was one thing that she didn’t dare to do, and that was to wake you up?”
That was because I once fell asleep and mistakenly thought that I was still in the classroom when I was woken up by someone. I thought my classmate was messing with me, so I roared angrily before I even opened my eyes. Yuan Yuan was only ten at the time. She was probably traumatized by my angry look, so since then, she never dared to disrupt my sleep.
My reliance on Liusu and alarm clocks made it impossible for me to argue, I could only mumble like a grieving woman: “Even if I’m late, this is still too much, right?”
“You can treat me as if I don’t exist,” Dong Xiaoye stood up and patted me on the shoulder, saying with full loyalty: “Don’t worry, Little Chu, I am a professional bodyguard with superb professionalism. I will be invisible to you like air, and I will never disturb your date with Liusu.”
You are 1.7 meters tall, weigh almost 50kg, and have a pair of big breasts. No matter how I look at it, you don’t look like air at all. The most important thing is, don’t you know that you are beautiful? Even if I treat you like air, what about the passers-by? When they look at you, they will inevitably notice me as well, right?
But then again, shopping with two beautiful girls is not a bad thing either…
What the hell am I thinking!
“Then let’s go,” Liusu picked up the bouquet of roses with one hand and her own bag with the other hand. She could no longer free her hand to hold my arm, or maybe she was embarrassed to hold me, “Lan Lan told me that most of the goods in the brand clothing stores on the fourth floor of the mall are on sale at the moment. Let’s go take a look. It’s been a long time since I bought new clothes.”
Just when I was hesitating whether to take the initiative to hold Liusu’s hand, the nosy policewoman who had just said that she wanted to hide her presence said curiously: “You two don’t want to hold hands?”
Reservedness is a layer of window paper. Only people who are ignorant will break it. And Dong Xiaoye was this ignorant person.
Liusu may look extroverted and lively, she was actually a very shy person. When we were buddies, we had no worries when we had physical contact or even shared the same bed. But now, even inadvertent skin contact would make her inexplicably nervous. I seemed to be able to understand this kind of change, but I couldn’t explain it clearly.
“Little Chu, why can’t you understand girls’ minds at all? Liusu is embarrassed to do it, but can’t you take the initiative? ”
I was about to take the initiative before you spoke! Now that you pointed it out clearly, what do you expect me to do? If I held her hand now, wouldn’t that be similar to admitting that I’m as dense as a piece of wood? Not to mention that it would make me look like someone who only listened to other people and did not have their own thoughts.
“It’s not… I…” Liusu was the kind of person who was good at taking the initiative but didn’t know how to deal with passive situations. When Dong Xiaoye teased her, she suddenly became a little flustered. Seeing that Dong Xiaoye was criticizing me, she hurriedly made excuses for me: “Um… It’s not convenient, because I am holding so many things in my hands.”
Dong Xiaoye looked at the exaggeratedly big bouquet of flowers in her arms and fell in a daze for a moment. Then she suddenly laughed while pointing to my nose: “Are you an idiot? Why do you give flowers to Liusu when going shopping with her? She hasn’t bought anything yet, but she already has such a big burden first. You are really stupid. If you want to give her flowers, you should do it after sending her home. It is best to take them out below her flat. In that way, if she is happy, maybe she will invite you to her flat~ Hahaha, I am taking back the words I said before. You are not mindful at all, you are just an idiot. Haha…”
Even if I had thick skin, I still couldn’t withstand Dong XIaoye’s laughter. What she said was right. Not only was it not romantic to give flowers to Liusu before we went shopping, but it also became our burden. No wonder I felt that something was slightly strange and Liusu didn’t seem to be moved. It turned out that I gave her the flowers at the wrong time.
Experience, this is another tragedy caused by inexperience! No wonder Brother Wei often said, ‘If you want to have a successful romantic relationship, you must have a consultant who is willing to be a listener’. It turned out that it was not an excuse he made up just so he could complain to me all the time, but the truth accumulated from experience!
This must also be the reason why people often say that the spectators see the game better than the players.
I was dumb, but I couldn’t admit it. It was already very embarrassing. If I admitted it again, it would definitely make Dong Xiaoye look down on me in the future. So in order not to be looked down upon by Dong Xiaoye, the first thing I needed to do was to stop her from talking, “Didn’t you say that you will hide your existence and you will be invisible to me like air? Can air even talk? ”
“You–” Dong Xiaoye was reduced to silence by me, her unique beautiful eyes glared at me angrily as if there were burning flames inside, “Fine, I will not speak. Liusu, let me hold the flower for you so you two can hold hands. I will follow you two from behind, don’t worry, I won’t stay far away. You will see me as long as you turn your head.”
This woman had just been talking and laughing, but all of sudden, her face was as cold as if it was covered with ice. Her mood changed so fast that it made me a little bit flustered. She should know that I was joking, right? Why did she have such a big reaction? It was… as if she was deliberately making me feel bad.
Dong Xiaoye’s emotions came and went quickly, and her invisible state only lasted for less than 30 minutes. Unknowingly, our roles seemed to have been swapped, and she went to try on different clothes in the discount clothing store with Liusu. In terms of me… I was sitting on a chair outside the dressing room like a statue, feeling depressed.
Holding hands seems to be a common thing between couples, but for me and Liusu, it felt somewhat strange. Not only because Dong Xiaoye was following us, but the main reason came from ourselves.
We had been together like ‘buddies’ for nearly five years. We were too familiar with each other and had already lost the excitement of holding each other’s hands like the new couples. It felt like the relationship between us had already matured, so mature that only we ourselves were not even aware of it. To better describe it, we were like an old couple who had been with each other for many years.
The first thing Liusu would often do when she arrived at the company every day was to put her feet on my thighs and jokingly ask me to massage her legs. Whenever she was drunk, I was obliged to take the responsibility of sending her home. She would often break into my room as if she was in her own room and drag me, who was wearing only a pair of underwear, out of the bed. On the days when she was sick, I would go to help her, deliver meals to her, and wash her clothes, including her underwear…
We were already close to each other to this point, so what was the big deal of holding each other’s hand? It was not a big deal at all. But if we deliberately held each other’s hands, it was completely different. This feeling… to describe it using a not very accurate metaphor, it was just like two siblings playing a couple in a movie, and there was a passionate kissing scene in that movie…
No matter how good their acting was, it would feel forced.
We were familiar with the way of getting along with each other like ‘buddies’, but for the way of getting along with each other like ‘couples’, we were not that familiar. Because of this, our interactions felt extremely awkward.
In the past, Liusu always dragged me around while shopping, but now she must maintain the same pace as me. This was not her style, nor the pace I was used to.
We all had a feeling of being bound by the word “couple”, but this word made us uncomfortable, and we always felt that we were not acting like ourselves in every move.
Liusu was a straightforward person, and she didn’t like such interactions, so she quickly broke the embarrassing atmosphere.
She dragged Dong Xiaoye to visit all the shops, using me as a carrier. This was the Liusu I was familiar with, and the interaction that I was used to. But why did I feel like something was not right? Is this what the date is supposed to be like? Why does it feel like it is no different than normal times?
But… Ordinary couples would not bring a third wheel like Dong Xiaoye, right?
Sigh… The current situation looked like it was a date between Liusu and Dong Xiaoye, and it seemed that I didn’t need to be here.
But the two girls obviously didn’t think so. In their opinion, I still had some uses. For example, every time they changed a set of clothes, they would come to ask my opinion.
This was my first date, but it was not the first time I had bought clothes with girls.
