As a man, he doesn't take the initiative to express his feelings. Even if Li Xiaoxiao likes him, what can she do as a girl? Should she confess to him?

Si Chengxu quickly figured out the reason behind this: "How do I start talking?"

"Just say it directly. Just say you like her and see her reaction." Si Er talked nonstop like a love guru.

"What if she refuses?" Not long ago, Li Xiaoxiao wanted to matchmake him with someone, but Si Chengxu was not sure at all.

"What else can I do? I'll just keep pursuing her. A good girl is afraid of a clinging man. Just keep pursuing her until she agrees." Si Er also felt that Li Xiaoxiao and Si Chengxu were a good match.

Whether in terms of talent or appearance, although Li Xiaoxiao does not have a noble status, he has a good character, does things efficiently, and has the ability to make money, which is already very good.

Like those ladies from wealthy families in Beijing, they are pretentious, timid, and cry over trivial matters. Fortunately, Zhu Lingling is not like that. He doesn't like that kind of women.

"Also, we can first test the attitude of the aunt. The little girl is filial. If her parents agree, it will probably go much more smoothly. And we can also ask the old lady."

Si Er is indeed an expert in love affairs, and he analyzed the situation for him from many aspects.

Si Chengxu nodded repeatedly as he listened. It seemed that sending her gifts before was too subtle. It would be more efficient to be direct.

In case Li Xiaoxiao refuses, he can follow Si Er's method and keep pestering her. If Li Xiaoxiao disagrees and dates another man, he will just beat up that man.

By that time, Li Xiaoxiao would have no man around her and would have to choose himself. Si Chengxu felt a little disgusted with his own idea.

But then I thought again, love is inherently selfish. I finally met a girl I like, so I must hold on to her.

Si Chengxu seemed to have found his goal all of a sudden. He felt depressed all day and suddenly became clear: "I'll go to the housekeeper tomorrow to collect one month's salary."

After saying that, he opened the door and left. Si Er looked at his departing back and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Li Xiaoxiao went to the restaurant as usual, and shortly after she left, Si Chengxu found Sun.

"Why is Chengxu here? Doesn't he have to go to the military camp today?" Sun has always liked this nephew very much. If it weren't for him, she would never have been able to reunite with her mother in her life.

"Well, I won't go today. I came to see you for something." Si Chengxu bowed to her.

"Sit down and talk. Bring us some tea." Sun smiled gently and asked Si Chengxu to sit down.

Soon a maid brought tea. Sun looked at him quietly without saying a word. She lowered her head and took a sip of tea. Then Si Chengxu spoke slowly.

"Aunt, I have something I hope you can do for me. I have admired Xiao Xiao for a long time. I hope you can marry her to me and make her my wife. Moreover, I will only marry her in this life and will never take a concubine."

Si Chengxu calmed himself down and spoke out the words he had prepared long ago.

"This..." Sun was stunned when she heard this and didn't react for a long time. Si Chengxu's words were too sudden and she didn't know what to do.

"Have you told Xiaoxiao what her attitude is?" Sun suddenly remembered that she had promised Li Xiaoxiao that she would let her decide her own marriage.

"I would like to ask for your consent first, and then go find Xiaoxiao." Si Chengxu lowered his head and replied respectfully in a voice that was neither arrogant nor humble.

"Chengxu, I know you are a good kid. Today you said you would only marry Xiaoxiao, which shows that you are responsible. But a long time ago, her father and I promised Xiaoxiao that she would decide her own marriage."

Although Sun liked her nephew very much, she didn't dare to agree to it casually. Xiaoxiao was not the kind of person who would just accept things passively. If she didn't agree, the marriage would definitely not go through, and it would make the two families embarrassed.

"Okay, I understand, aunt. As long as you approve of me in your heart, that's enough. I will talk to Xiaoxiao myself." Si Chengxu could say that this was what he expected after getting Sun's reply.

Didn't he also make his own decisions about marriage? In this respect, Li Xiaoxiao was surprisingly similar to him.

"Of course I approve of you, but as for Xiaoxiao, I can only do my best to help you speak to her." Sun had seen through his feelings for Li Xiaoxiao a long time ago, but she didn't understand why Xiaoxiao was avoiding Si Chengxu?

"Aunt, I'll take my leave first." Si Chengxu left Sun's place and went directly to Longmen Restaurant.

Si Yi and Si Er both have found their homes, so as their master, how could he fall too far behind them?

When Li Xiaoxiao saw him, she suddenly felt that Si Chengxu was a little different today than before.

But she couldn't really tell what was different, it was just a feeling. It was as if something was about to happen, and her intuition told her that she should avoid him.

"There is something I want to tell you. I'll wait for you upstairs." Si Chengxu just glanced at her and turned to go upstairs.

Li Xiaoxiao watched his back as he went upstairs and became more and more confused. What happened to this guy today?

It was only around nine o'clock in the morning and there were no customers at all. What was there for her to be busy about?

After hesitating for a long time downstairs, Li Xiaoxiao finally mustered up the courage to go upstairs.

Si Chengxu was playing chess there. When he heard the door open, he knew she was coming.

"Come here, let's play the next game first." Si Chengxu said to himself without even looking at her.

Li Xiaoxiao walked over obediently and sat opposite him. He glanced at the board briefly, then picked up a white piece and placed it on one of the positions.

The scene suddenly became quiet. The two of them played chess back and forth for a long time, and Li Xiaoxiao finally lost.

"The game of chess is over. Cousin, do you have any advice for me?" Although Li Xiaoxiao was puzzled, he still pretended to be relaxed.

Knowing that Li Xiaoxiao was distracted while playing chess, Si Chengxu was not very happy about his win and casually threw the black piece into the chess box.

Then he raised his head and looked at Li Xiaoxiao without blinking.

"Cousin, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't look at me like that." Li Xiaoxiao felt uneasy when he looked at her, and had a hunch that something bad was going to happen.

"I like you and want to pursue you." Si Chengxu opened his thin lips, still looking at her closely. The tone of his words was no different from usual, as if to say, "Have you eaten?"

The sudden confession startled Li Xiaoxiao and she quickly shifted her gaze. Si Chengxu was really a straight man. How could he confess like that? It was so sudden. How could she respond?

There was a moment of silence in the air and neither of them spoke. Li Xiaoxiao felt inexplicably guilty, as she had known for a long time that Si Chengxu had a crush on her.

But she couldn't agree. They were cousins ​​and close relatives by blood. How could she reject him tactfully?
