This time it was Li Chao's turn to be embarrassed.

The awkwardness grew in silence.

Seeing Zhao Linlin looking at him in disbelief, he felt a little embarrassed.

He pretended to be nonchalant and said to her, "Do you think I'm still a bad person again and start to hate me again?"

He felt that what he said was not a gentleman's behavior and was really taking advantage of someone's misfortune!

He pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I'm just kidding. You see, I'm not a good person either. Don't blame yourself or feel guilty. I still think the tsundere version of you is the most likable..." He was about to say the wrong thing again. It's better to say less.

Zhao Linlin's mind was a little confused. She looked at Li Chao, and scenes from their past kept flashing through her mind. She really couldn't find any signs that he liked her.

But when he said that, his eyes were so deep that it seemed as if something had caught her deeply.

He said he was teasing her, but she couldn't tell whether he was really teasing her or not.

For things that she couldn't figure out, she decided to let it sit for a while before taking a look.

She began to change the subject:

"Would you like some water?"

Li Chao also wanted to end the current situation as soon as possible, so he was willing to cooperate.

"Well, I'm a little thirsty. Could you please pour me a glass of water? Thank you."

Zhao Linlin hurriedly looked for a kettle to pour water.

I poured a full cup and carefully handed it to him.

Li Chao took the cup of water and drank it down in big gulps.

"I'm going out to help first. Call me if you need anything." After saying that, he ran out without waiting for Li Chao's reply.

This is what Li Chao’s mother saw in the corner.

Out of her female intuition, when everyone had left, she sat down beside her son's bed and asked him:

"Son, do you have a girl you like?"

Li Chao was alert.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

"Mom sees that you've been single, so I'm thinking of introducing you to a girlfriend. Your Aunt Yang has a niece..." Li Chao's mother looked at him and said slowly.

"No!" Li Chao refused so bluntly that his mother might think too much. Then he continued, "My priority now is studying."

"Son, why are you even more old-fashioned than me? This isn't junior high or high school anymore. You should be thinking about your lifelong plans in college. You need to develop both your relationship and your academics. Otherwise, you might not be able to find a girlfriend in the future. I've been through this before. Your dad..."

"Mom, I really don't want to do that now." Seeing that his mother was getting more and more outrageous, he quickly stopped talking.

"You don't like girls, you like boys?"

"How could it be?! What are you thinking?"

"Then you and your Aunt Yang's niece should try to get along. You are both single anyway. If you can get along, then do it. If not, then just be ordinary friends." Li Chao's mother took a step back and said.

Li Chao suddenly remembered that this was what happened with Xiaoting.

If I didn't handle the last one well, someone would hate me for a long time.

"Don't try it~" Li Chao was determined not to try it again.

"Why not? Why can't you do anything? Tell mom the truth, do you have any hidden illness?" Li Chao's mother was anxious.

"......" It seems that if Li Chao doesn't explain the reason today, he won't be able to sleep.

"Mom, I liked a girl, but was rejected. I'm still sad now." Li Chao made up an excuse without blinking.

This time it was Li Chao's mother who was speechless.

Zhao Linlin returned to the dormitory from Li Chao's house and thought about the expression on his face when he said that many times.

She and Dong Hao broke up completely. After all, the matter was reported to the police station, and the remaining reluctance from their relationship over the years was completely severed.

She hadn't thought about getting involved in another relationship so soon.

However, when Li Chao made that suggestion, she was moved.

She felt that she was attracted to Li Chao's words, not to Li Chao himself, because she actually believed in the idea of committing herself to him.

She was afraid that she would be criticized for her thoughts.

But she felt that this would make her feel less guilty, and she didn't want to live with the guilt.

Maybe someone says there are other methods, but she doesn’t agree with them. She only likes this one.

And she didn't know what would happen if it were someone else, but she felt that she wouldn't be so disgusted with Li Chao.

She decided to leave it at that.

The next morning.

Zhao Linlin has no classes.

Li Chao and his parents had just finished breakfast and were resting when they heard the doorbell ring.

Li Chao's mother opened the door.

Seeing that it was the little girl who had helped before, she hurriedly invited her in.

"Hello, Auntie. I came to see Li Chao. How is he today?"

Li Chao's mother was very happy: "Good, he is fine, come in quickly, girl."

"Auntie, I came here today to tell you two something, actually..."

"Zhao Linlin!!" Li Chao shouted loudly in the room at this time.

Zhao Linlin was so scared that she couldn't finish her words.

"Come in!"

“…” Zhao Linlin entered the house under the strange gaze of his parents.

"What are you going to say to my parents? I told you not to apologize, why are you so stubborn?"

Li Chao subconsciously didn't want Zhao Linlin to tell his parents. If you ask why, maybe he was afraid that his parents would vent their anger on her and hurt her.

Anyway, he hopes that she will be good in the eyes of his family.

Zhao Linlin was speechless.

"That's not what I want to say. Didn't you say you wanted me to be your girlfriend? I agreed!"

Li Chao: "..."
