Chapter 88: Thus, he began trying to pursue the girl
He actually let himself go after Han Dan, I don't know if Zhao Liang's brain is flooded.
"Xiao Bai, please," Zhao Liang didn't give up, or rather, at first Li Xiaobai directly agreed to his request and was worried instead, "Actually, I think you're not a bad person sometimes, so help me out?"
What's with "sometimes not bad", I'm always great. Besides, if not rejecting others is considered good, then wouldn't girls who reject suitors be very poor? This logic doesn't make sense at all.
"No, isn't it you who likes Han Dan?" Li Xiaobai still didn't quite understand. "Since you like her, why are you letting me pursue her? Isn't that a mistake somewhere?"
Zhao Liang suddenly let out a sigh, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You know, since being rejected by Xia Xiner, I seem to have lost all my confidence. But today, when I ran into Han Dan, my heart started racing again, you understand?"
It's just that he was moved, and Li Xiaobai could understand it to this extent.
It's just that sometimes when he is alone with a girl, he also has this feeling.
Not to mention Xia Xiner, Guo Jing, even when alone with Xu Ran, whom he disliked, he felt short of breath and at a loss. But that was more because he wasn't used to interacting with pretty girls, directly attributing this to liking her, isn't that too rash?
However, his relationship with Zhao Liang did not reach the point of preaching, and for the time being, he just nodded slightly, pretending to understand.
It would be terrible if people suspected that their IQ needed a recharge.
"Do you know when a person has both pressure and motivation?" Zhao Liang asked as he saw Li Xiaobai nodding.
This overly subjective question makes it impossible for him to answer, anyway the only correct answer is whatever Zhao Liang wants to say.
Li Xiaobai remained silent directly.
Under no circumstances would Zhao Liang be embarrassed, and he continued to add, "Of course, it's when there is a competitive opponent."
"I see," Li Xiaobai quickly reacted, "So, you want to find someone who also pursues Han Dan. In that case, the confidence lost from Xia Xiang'er can be regained with the existence of a competitor, and it will give you the courage to pursue her."
Zhao Liang nodded.
It works in theory, but dating isn't just about theories.
"But you have many friends, Chen Miao, Tang Feng, and others I don't know, can't you just find someone casually?" Li Xiaobai was somewhat impressed by Zhao Liang's wild imagination at this moment.
"In case I fail again, it's not something to be happy about being comforted by friends all the time, so this time I won't tell them." Knowing that he had asked Li Xiaobai for help, Zhao Liang was also frank, "Besides, there's a more important point, Chen Huan's words, I'm afraid he'll pretend to like her and really fall in love with Han Dan. Brother Feng's charm you also know, even if it's just pretending to like her, what if Han Dan really falls in love with Brother Feng? I'd have no choice but to cry. Little White classmate, whether you're truly in love with Han Dan or just pretending to be, either way, it's not possible between the two of you."
It's obvious, how could Han Dan possibly like you?
Although I don't think there's any chance myself, some words are one thing when said by oneself, and another thing when said through someone else's mouth. Suddenly feeling very embarrassed. When asking for a favor, can't we find a PR person first or rehearse in advance? If we accidentally offend the other party, it will be too late to regret even if our intestines turn green.
"Although you say so, I still can't accept..."
"Little White, can you help me out this one time?" Zhao Liang interrupted before Li Xiaobai could finish speaking, "I really couldn't find anyone else, and to be honest, I don't feel comfortable talking about this with people I'm familiar with."
"But I really haven't chased after girls before, I don't know how to chase them," Li Xiaobai was somewhat speechless. "And besides, what if, I mean what if, even if I did this, after comparing both sides, Han Dan still doesn't like you, what then?"
Some people may not have thought about falling in love so early, but for those who are already infatuated or want to fall in love, they won't listen anyway, so it's pointless to say anything.
"Then I'll be grateful to you too." Zhao Liang asked with a pleading tone, "Xiao Bai, help me out. If no one gives me the courage, I really won't dare pursue girls anymore."
"Alright, I'll give it a try then." After hesitating for a long time, Li Xiaobai finally backed down a step, "But there's one thing I want to make clear beforehand, if anyone gives me trouble because of this, you're the one who has to deal with it."
There may not be girls like Han Dan who confess directly, but there are definitely many who have secret crushes. Li Xiaobai didn't want to get into any more trouble. Seeing Zhao Liang nodding repeatedly, Li Xiaobai reluctantly agreed.
To be honest, Zhao Liang also made him pursue Han Dan. Apart from boosting his confidence, the bigger reason was to use her as a reference.
I've said it before, as a reference object, one's own strengths are reflected in others.
Just as Zhao Liang said, if Tang Feng were to pretend to pursue Han Dan, it's possible that Han Dan might actually fall for Tang Feng.
But it's different for himself, if he and Zhao Liang both pursue Han Dan, and Han Dan has the intention of falling in love and must choose one of them, eight or nine out of ten times, the winner will definitely be Zhao Liang.
Wait a minute, I don't think I'm that weak, at most, I'm just not good at being alone with girls. As for the rest, I'm quite satisfied with my appearance, my height is not tall but I'm okay with it, my IQ is not high but I'm also fine with it. Why do I have to make up my mind to lose? Is it because I'm too modest?
Li Xiaobai also didn't take it to heart after thinking about it randomly.
What's the point of pursuing something, just go through the motions. The worse he performs, the more opportunities Zhao Liang will have. Although Zhao Liang and he are not friends, he is definitely the male classmate who talks to him the most, so helping out doesn't matter.
In addition, regarding Zhao Liang's words about accumulating experience for the future, Li Xiaobai also had some concerns. Now his prejudice against girls has become less and less, it's not possible to never fall in love, trying to get in touch with Han Dan is not a big deal either.
"Right, you don't have Handan's phone number yet?" Zhao Liang lay back on the couch, his voice also relaxing, "I'll give you her phone number, and then what to do next is up to us."
"You actually called her?" Li Xiaobai was somewhat surprised.
The fact that Handan's phone call came so quickly means that Handan at least doesn't dislike Zhao Liang, and his hopes are great.
That is, with a self-satisfied smile, Zhao Liang reported a string of numbers.
Awesome, there's nothing much to say besides this.
"Haha, are you scared?" After joking, Zhao Liang said, "Sometimes you don't need to ask and can get it. Isn't there a duty roster on the wall of the Animal Rescue Association? There is contact information behind it, I happened to write it down."
It turns out that if Han Dan easily gave his phone number to Zhao Liang, it's likely that Zhao Liang wouldn't have used him as a scapegoat either.
They chatted casually for a few more sentences, and then Li Xiaobai climbed up to the top bunk and lay down.
Flipping through the phone book unintentionally, Lin Nan, Xu Ran, Guo Jing, Han Dan, and even the class teacher from the first year of high school. Unconsciously, excluding family members, there are already five phone numbers, and four of them are girls'. When did I get along so well with girls? In middle school, I didn't even have a girl's phone number, and suddenly this thought emerged out of nowhere.
"I really hope this dark night will pass quickly, so I can see her tomorrow."
This was the last sentence Li Xiaobai heard before falling asleep.
This guy might actually make it.
Although I fell asleep, I woke up automatically at night. I always feel that my brain is inexplicably excited, and I don't know why. After waking up, I couldn't sleep again due to over-excitement.
What's going on? In the past, no matter where he was, whether it was thunderstorm or snoring in the dormitory, as long as he fell asleep, his sleep quality had always been good. Now, he actually has insomnia, which is really strange.
He took out his phone and turned it on. The dazzling light affected him, and Li Xiaobai slightly narrowed his eyes, speechless. It was already one o'clock in the middle of the night.
Why don't you just send her a text message?
Although she had a bad first impression of him, it's possible for impressions to change after a long time of contact. It's up to oneself to keep having a bad impression, and that's probably what Zhao Liang hoped for.
"I'm Li Xiaobai, haven't slept..."
After some thought, Li Xiaobai still sent a rather uncreative short message.
However, after sending this message, Li Xiaobai was somewhat happy.
His mobile phone bill, the SMS package is included in the mandatory fee items, even if no SMS is sent, a certain amount will be deducted every month. In the past, this money was wasted, but at least this month's loss is smaller.
Secondly, sending text messages can also exercise the flexibility of fingers. The first message, just a few words, Li Xiaobai almost spent nearly a minute to type out.
As expected, there was no reply from the message, so Li Xiaobai, who couldn't sleep for a while, simply started practicing typing on his mobile phone.
Have to say, it's still quite effective, just a very short time, with a bit of a "flying fingers" feel.
Nor did he know how many messages he had sent, drowsiness came again, Li Xiaobai slowly fell asleep.
Li Xiaobai, who rarely suffered from insomnia, was somewhat at a loss when it came to oversleeping. He didn't know what time he fell asleep and the next day, as expected, he overslept and missed the flag-raising ceremony. As a result, he couldn't avoid being scolded by Lin Nan again.
Out of the office, he felt the phone in his pocket vibrating again. Li Xiaobai took it out and looked at it, and indeed, it was that somewhat unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar phone number.
"Can you not send me messages in the middle of the night? It seems like we're not that close."
"After all, everyone starts from unfamiliarity..."
Li Xiaobai is not good at opening topics, but when responding to others' topics, Li Xiaobai rarely falls behind.
"Sorry, I don't want to be familiar with you. No matter how you got my phone number, please don't send me any more text messages."
I'm hated, fine, let's just keep going like this then.
