Chapter 51 Love and Friendship (First Order Request!)

The neon lights of the tall buildings outside the window flickered, reflected in Xu Hongdou's astonished eyes.

Obviously, Xu Hongdou was not expecting Chen Mo's sudden hug.

However, Xu Hongdou reacted quickly and did not struggle violently. She could feel Chen Mo's joy and excitement at this moment.

Xu Hongdou, who was hugged, just patted Chen Mo's shoulder and reminded him softly:

"Hey, that wasn't a confession. I haven't agreed to be your girlfriend yet."

Chen Mo was immersed in joy, feeling the warmth of the beauty in his arms. The fragrance of the woman's hair and body filled his nostrils, making him unable to help but sink into it.

Suddenly, a faint voice as soft as orchid came to his ears, and the warm breath hit his neck, which made Chen Mo shudder and wake up.

Chen Mo then realized that Xu Hongdou had only agreed to give him the opportunity to pursue her, and she was not yet his girlfriend, so there was no hugging and kissing ceremony.

Chen Mo reluctantly let go of Xu Hongdou, and couldn't help sighing in his heart. Then he said a little embarrassedly:

"Ahem, sorry, I was so excited that I couldn't help myself. I couldn't help myself."

"Just don't be unable to help yourself so often." Xu Hongdou didn't comment, but slightly emphasized the word "unable to help yourself".

"No, no." Chen Mo said first, then smiled and made his declaration:

"But one day, I will have this 'power' legitimately, and then it will be reasonable."

Xu Hongdou dodged Chen Mo's fiery gaze, turned around and said, "I'm going back."

When Chen Mo sent Xu Hongdou to the door, he asked, "Will I be your and Lingdang's driver tomorrow?"

"Yeah." Xu Hongdou thought about it and didn't refuse.

Chen Mo smiled. This was the advantage of making one's intentions clear. He no longer had to rack his brains to find some clumsy excuses.

"Then you should go to bed early. See you tomorrow." Chen Mo didn't try to persuade him to stay.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Xu Hongdou left in a hurry.

"Bang." The two doors closed.

As soon as Chen Mo closed the door, he jumped up excitedly, gesticulating randomly, then sat for a while, then paced back and forth in the room, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

This condition did not get relieved even after Chen Mo took a shower.

Chen Mo knew that if he continued to be so excited, he would probably suffer from insomnia tonight.

Finally, Chen Mo thought about it, took his guitar, sat in front of the French window in the bedroom, exhaled lightly, and sang softly to himself:

[Sunny or rainy day
Crowded coffee shop

Find a comfortable corner where I can think of you

Watching lovers leaning against each other

Slowly turn my eyes away

There is a girl that I miss so much

My heart has flown to the other side of this city

I want to see your face that I love

Tell you all my feelings.

Chen Mo poured out his mood, feelings, and words he wanted to say at the moment into his own melody and singing, singing along slowly and telling the story in a leisurely manner. The corners of his mouth could not help but rise, and his thoughts drifted in every evening when traffic was jammed.
The road is always congested
And everyone is enduring every day

Without you, the days are very black and white
So this is what love is】

Xu Hongdou, I just noticed now that every day when I pick you up from get off work, the sunset seems to be so gorgeous and charming.
Your appearance brings new colors to my life.

I want you to be by my side

Share everything in life

I want to say it every day

Tell you how much I love you every day]

This is Chen Mo’s inner monologue, and the moon is the only listener.

Coincidentally, after Xu Hongdou closed the door, she leaned against it, put her hands on her chest, took deep breaths, and her face was already flushed.

Xu Hongdou gently fanned her neck with her hands, and it was obvious that she was far from being as calm and composed as she had just appeared.

The moment Chen Mo hugged her, his broad arms, his hot breath, Xu Hongdou could clearly hear her own heartbeat, like thunder.

Xu Hongdou sat on the sofa for a while and picked up her phone. She needed someone to talk to about her feelings at the moment, and Chen Nanxing was the only choice she could think of.

Xu Hongdou: Chen Mo told me that he wanted to pursue me.

Xu Hongdou did not hide anything from Chen Nanxing, because when Chen Nanxing had a boyfriend before, he shared all his joy, touching moments and sorrows with her.

Soon Chen Nanxing sent an exclamation.

Chen Nanxing: !!!

Chen Nanxing: Did Chen Mo confess to you?
Xu Hongdou: No.

Xu Hongdou: He just wanted to pursue me formally.

Chen Nanxing: So what he means is: I won’t pretend anymore, I’m going to be honest, I’m interested in you.

Xu Hongdou was amused by Chen Nanxing's interpretation, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt that the description was just right, and that was exactly what Chen Mo meant.

However, Xu Hongdou recalled what Chen Mo said just now. It was not only straightforward, but also more aggressive. He even directly said to her that he was "scheming against his will". In the end, he even hugged her directly. She didn't know if Chen Mo did it on purpose. Bah! Hooligan! Xu Hongdou spat in her heart.

Xu Hongdou: It’s about the same idea.

Chen Nanxing: So how did you answer him?

Xu Hongdou: I told him "OK."

Chen Nanxing: Ahhhhh!!!
On the other side, Chen Nanxing jumped up from the bed, stomped his feet excitedly, and couldn't help screaming.

Sometimes your own love is sweet, but the love from your friends is even sweeter.

Chen Nanxing: So what is your relationship now?
Seeing Chen Nanxing's question, Xu Hongdou thought about it seriously.

Xu Hongdou: More than friends, but less than lovers?
Chen Nanxing: Boyfriend-to-be?
Chen Nanxing can always find the description accurately.

Xu Hongdou: I don’t know.

The relationship between the two is now very subtle, and Xu Hongdou doesn't know how to define it.

Chen Nanxing: Don’t know?
Chen Nanxing: Yes, it’s neither up nor down.

Chen Nanxing: Why didn’t Chen Mo confess to you directly? Wouldn’t that be enough to get it done in one go?
Xu Hongdou: Maybe he knows that if he confesses his feelings directly, I won’t agree.

Chen Nanxing: Won’t you agree?

Xu Hongdou: No.

Chen Nanxing: Why?
Xu Hongdou thought about it seriously and shared her inner thoughts with Chen Nanxing.

Xu Hongdou: It has only been a month since we met.

Xu Hongdou: Although we are in contact with each other every day and seem to have had meals together quite a few times, we don’t know much about each other’s preferences, interests and living habits.

Xu Hongdou: I remember a song written by Chen Mo, and there is a line in it.

Xu Hongdou: [Love is not a warm dinner party].

Xu Hongdou: So, maybe we all know that it’s not the right time yet.

In fact, Xu Hongdou felt that among all the words Chen Mo said just now, the sentence "I don't even know whether you like bitter melon or not" touched her the most.

Therefore, Xu Hongdou felt that the fact that Chen Mo did not confess his feelings directly was a sign of their mutual tacit understanding.

People cannot control whether or not to have a relationship because feelings are involuntary.

But choosing whether or not to enter into a relationship requires rational consideration of some realistic factors.

Chen Mo's family runs such a big company, and it's in the entertainment industry where there are so many beautiful women. It's impossible for Xu Hongdou not to have concerns.

Even if the two are together now, they have nothing to do with each other in terms of family differences, income differences, and careers. Can they really be together in the future?

This is something Xu Hongdou felt she needed time to think about and judge.

The two of them must have been deeply in love at the beginning, but as time went on, they became tired of each other and gradually lost everything in common.

Chen Mo likes music, but Xu Hongdou feels that she doesn't understand music.

When Xu Hongdou learned from Zhong Xueyao this afternoon that Chen Mo arrived at the hotel early every day to wait for her, she was very touched.

But she couldn't help thinking that if they followed their normal pace of life, they would never have any intersection at all.

Moreover, in terms of some objective and realistic conditions, Chen Mo is obviously at a higher position.

Maybe Chen Mo is confident in this relationship and can be compatible with others, but Xu Hongdou is worried about whether she can move towards the upper side.

Xu Hongdou once said that Chen Mo was very rational, but in fact, she herself was also a rational person.

She is not a girl in her twenties anymore. It is impossible for her to blindly believe that love can overcome all difficulties.

In fact, all difficulties are often not about separation of life and death, but conflicts between personal concepts, character, habits and interpersonal relationships.

Xu Hongdou did not doubt Chen Mo's sincerity towards her now, but she had no idea how long this sincerity could last.

For a moment, Xu Hongdou thought a lot.

Chen Nanxing: It doesn’t matter. If you can’t figure it out, just wait a little longer.

Chen Nanxing: Don’t worry, you still have me.

Chen Nanxing: I won’t let you live your whole life alone.

Xu Hongdou: It hasn’t come to this.
Chen Nanxing: Hehehe, isn’t this just preparing for the worst?

Chen Nanxing: We will be in a nursing home together then. I will use a cane and push you in a wheelchair.

Chen Nanxing: We took a slow walk in the sunset, which was very romantic.

Xu Hongdou: Why am I the one sitting in a wheelchair? Why not you?
Chen Nanxing: What? I'm pushing you and you're not happy.

Chen Nanxing: Just think about it, I will be so old by then, and I will still be willing to push you, so just be happy.

Xu Hongdou: Haha, thank you. I will buy an electric one then, so you don’t need to push it.

Chen Nanxing: I don’t know how to appreciate good people!
Xu Hongdou couldn't help laughing when she heard what Chen Nanxing said.

Yes, Xu Hongdou doesn’t know whether her love can last forever.

But Xu Hongdou knew that her friendship with Chen Nanxing would last until old age.
