Chapter 50 Agree (First Order Request!)
"So direct." After hearing Chen Mo's words, Xu Hongdou was a little surprised by Chen Mo's boldness and frankness.

Chen Mo just finished speaking confidently one second ago, and then asked nervously the next second: "What do you think?"

"Are you asking me this?" Xu Hongdou tilted her head slightly and asked puzzledly.

"Of course." Chen Mo nodded.

"You still know how to ask me?" Xu Hongdou said unhappily:

"I thought you were giving me a notice."

"Ahem, how could that be?" Chen Mo was a little embarrassed: "I'm just asking if you agree or not."

"You won't pursue me if I don't agree?" Xu Hongdou raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Uh" Chen Mo thought about it seriously, then shook his head and said: "I will still pursue her."

You have to be thick-skinned to pursue a girl. How can I not pursue her just because you say so? This is my freedom!
"Does it make any difference whether you ask me or not?" Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes at Chen Mo.

"That's still possible." Chen Mo said, "If you agree, it means that even if I enter the reserve force, I am at least a candidate for investigation."

"What if I don't agree?" Xu Hongdou asked with interest.

"That proves that I have a long way to go." Chen Mo sighed and said with a "deep" face.

"Oh, I see." Xu Hongdou nodded as if she understood something.

"How about it, give me a chance?" Chen Mo asked expectantly.

"Let's eat first, and talk after we finish eating." Xu Hongdou picked up the chopsticks and continued eating.

"Don't worry, you go ahead and talk first." Chen Mo said quickly.

"The food is almost cold, let's eat first." Xu Hongdou gestured.

"If you don't tell me this, I won't be able to eat." Chen Mo said.

"If you can't eat, just watch me eat." Xu Hongdou started eating by herself.

"."Chen Mo.

Xu Hongdou just said that she couldn't eat, and Chen Mo immediately said something.

Why doesn't this work the other way around?
Chen Mo thought about it and felt that maybe he should worry about Xu Hongdou having a bad stomach due to not eating, but Xu Hongdou didn't have to worry about his bad stomach.

Well, that should be it.

Chen Mo thought about it and said, "Actually."

Xu Hongdou raised her head and glanced at Chen Mo.

"I also have a bad stomach." Chen Mo said seriously.

"You have a bad stomach too?" Xu Hongdou asked puzzledly.

"Yeah." Chen Mo nodded.

"If your stomach is not feeling well, eat quickly. Why are you still standing there?" Xu Hongdou raised her chin to signal.

"I can't eat if you don't tell me." Chen Mo sighed.

"."Xu Hongdou.

Good guy, you're going around in a circle and waiting here, right?

Xu Hongdou was obviously speechless at Chen Mo's childishness.

"I think your stomach is not in good condition. It's not because you are hungry, but because you are full." Xu Hongdou said unhappily.

"Let's eat first. I need to think about it." Xu Hongdou said.

"You want to think about it too?"

"Why, you say it so suddenly and don't even allow me to think about it?" Xu Hongdou glared at Chen Mo.

"You have to think carefully about what you want." Upon hearing Xu Hongdou say this, Chen Mo suppressed his inner anxiety, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

"Come on, try the cola chicken wings." Chen Mo picked up a chicken wing for Xu Hongdou.

"I can do it myself." Xu Hongdou said, but still lowered the bowl to take it.

"If you come by yourself, I'm afraid you'll only eat vegetables." Chen Mo joked, "Eat more meat and leave some vegetables for me."

It turned out that when Chen Mo "revealed his feelings" just now, Xu Hongdou seemed to be eating as if nothing had happened, but in fact, every time she picked up some food, she only picked up the vegetables closest to her, and then kept drinking the soup.

Obviously, it is for the purpose of "eating" and mechanically completes the action of putting food into the mouth.

Just like some people are more socially anxious. When they are in crowded places, they will take out their mobile phones to check whether there is anything wrong or not, as if to see who sent the message or to check the time, but in fact there is nothing wrong. It is simply a subconscious action due to fear of embarrassment.

Maybe Xu Hongdou herself didn't realize that her ears had turned red as early as when Chen Mo opened his mouth and said he wanted to pursue her, just like the ears of the lucky cat on the dining table.

Chen Mo only discovered this later in the conversation.

Xu Hongdou heard the teasing in Chen Mo's words and glared at him.

Chen Mo smiled knowingly. In fact, from Xu Hongdou's performance and reaction, including her willingness to sit here and eat like this, Chen Mo has already got the answer he wanted. In fact, Chen Mo is not stupid. After spending some time together, he can also feel that Xu Hongdou has a good impression of him.

Otherwise, Chen Mo wouldn’t have dared to say “I want to pursue you” so suddenly.

As someone said, confessing love is like redeeming a prize, not scratching a lottery ticket.

Although what Chen Mo said doesn't seem to be a confession, it's almost the same.

However, Chen Mo still wanted to hear Xu Hongdou's personal consent.

This way he would be "legitimate" and not afraid that Xu Hongdou would regret it later.

Last time when they talked about having dinner together, he thought Xu Hongdou had agreed, but he didn't expect that Xu Hongdou would go back on her word at the last minute.

Chen Mo said he would never make the same mistake this time.

And for some reason, Chen Mo was still looking forward to the answer that Xu Hongdou would say in person.

Some words have a different meaning when heard from someone you care about.

Just like between lovers, you know that the other person loves you very much, but sometimes you just want to hear the other person say it in person.

Of course, Chen Mo feels that their current progress is still some distance away from the level of a couple.

The two of them didn't say anything extra and just ate quietly.

Chen Mo wanted to give Xu Hongdou some time to think it over carefully.

Xu Hongdou seemed to be enjoying her meal very much. The dishes were obviously to her liking and she didn't seem to be in a state of thinking.

Chen Mo couldn't help but wonder if it was because he was always keeping people in suspense and didn't say anything until dinner time, so Xu Hongdou deliberately delayed him a little to let him experience the feeling of being kept in suspense.

By the end of the meal, the two of them had almost finished all the dishes.

"I'll wash the dishes." Xu Hongdou stood up, collected the dishes and brought them to the kitchen.

Obviously following the division of labor when the two of them had dinner together before.

Chen Mo didn't just stand there and watch, he stepped in to help.

Xu Hongdou saw Chen Mo coming over to wash the dishes, and couldn't help but say, "I can do it."

"Two people, do it together, hurry up." Chen Mo didn't want to wait, so he helped to scrub the pot, as well as clean the chopping board and knives, to shorten Xu Hongdou's time washing dishes.

Chen Mo felt that he was uneasy and worried until he heard Xu Hongdou's answer in person for a minute.

Moreover, Chen Mo didn't want the two of them to have such a clear division of responsibilities, with one cooking and the other washing dishes.

The "division" at the beginning was for the two people to have better "cooperation", to get to know each other, and to get closer.

Now that the relationship is closer, if we still divide them like this, it will be like a wall separating them, causing obstacles.

Before their relationship was officially settled, Chen Mo felt that he should be prepared for danger in times of peace, seize every second, and what he got would be his.

The two of them quickly cleaned up the kitchen. Chen Mo also washed some fruits and put them on the coffee table in the living room.

"You can tell me now." Chen Mo said.

"Well, what did you ask just now?" Xu Hongdou asked.

"I want to pursue you, give me a chance?" Chen Mo repeated.

"it is good."

Xu Hongdou spoke succinctly and gave the most direct answer, without any beating around the bush or any unnecessary elaboration.

Chen Mo couldn't believe the answer he wanted so easily: "Really?"

Xu Hongdou did not equivocate at all and responded affirmatively: "Really."

For Xu Hongdou, since Chen Mo expressed his feelings so frankly, she would respond directly and positively regardless of whether he rejected or accepted, without any ambiguous answer.

We are all mature adults and there is nothing to be embarrassed about our true feelings.

Some girls may enjoy the care and dedication of others, but at the same time pretend to be stupid and not respond to other people's feelings, which is to "hook" others.

But Xu Hongdou is obviously not such a person, and she will not allow herself to be such a person.

Chen Mo felt that it was Xu Hongdou's straightforward and unpretentious character that attracted him the most.

"Haha."

Chen Mo was so excited that he subconsciously hugged Xu Hongdou.

The moonlight fell on the windowsill at some point and lingered there. The evening breeze also slipped into the house from the balcony, looking at the hustle and bustle. The night sky was filled with twinkling stars, bearing witness.

For the first time, they hugged each other tightly.
