BXBX NOVEL Chapter 80 - 080: You Won ‘t Know Until You Try
Bai Man stepped forward and hooked her arm through Shen Chi’s, looking at him tenderly. She smiled at the crowd and said, “He has been with me these past few days, and I’m not a child.”
“Yeah, they’re right, the weather is nice today. I’ll take you out for a walk later,” Shen Chi looked down at Bai Man.
The crowd began to tease, “Fourth Young Master really dotes on Miss Bai, I’m so envious…”
Bai Man stood close to Shen Chi, her face radiating happiness.
Xu Chaomu glanced at them, one stunningly beautiful, the other mature and noble. She remembered how gentle he had been towards her when she was peeling pistachios earlier, and now, he was equally gentle with Bai Man.
Xu Chaomu thought, this man really knows how to charm women.
She felt like she had seen through him and decided not to be fooled by his appearance in the future.
As they chatted together, Xu Chaomu couldn’t join in, so she left the group and returned to where she had been sitting earlier.
Crackle and pop.
She poured all the peeled pistachios into the bowl, then pressed down hard on the lid several times before walking over to Dabai’s cage in the garden.
Dabai was lazily basking in the sun; this Tibetan Mastiff was well-fed and well-cared for, growing both large and strong.
Seeing Xu Chaomu approaching, Dabai lazily lifted his eyelids, glanced at her, and continued basking in the sun without moving.
Even the dog was ignoring her, leaving Xu Chaomu amused and frustrated…
“Dabai, Dabai, it’s time to eat!” She shook the box of pistachios.
Dabai showed no interest and remained motionless.
“I peeled these pistachios myself, come on, up you get!” Xu Chaomu squatted down and stroked Dabai’s smooth fur.
She had known Dabai for eight years, initially being scared of him, but later realizing that he was just a paper tiger. Plus, he was particularly good at reading people’s expressions, always looking extremely happy whenever Shen Chi would come over.
But when she came over, he acted indifferent.
“Dabai! Is it really okay for you to ignore me like this! If you keep ignoring me, no meat for you today!”
Xu Chaomu tried both threats and bribery, but the stubborn dog still didn’t move, occasionally glancing at her with disdain.
“Even you’re picking on me…” Xu Chaomu felt quite unhappy.
Without any better option, she patted the ground and sat down next to Dabai, opened the box, and started tossing pistachios into her mouth one by one.
As Dabai sat there basking in the sun and dozing off, Xu Chaomu sat beside him doing the same and gazing at the sky.
Shen Chi came over just in time to catch this comical scene, a young girl and a large dog sitting side by side.
He leaned against something nearby and watched for quite a while before walking over with a smile.
“What are you looking at?” Shen Chi stood in front of Xu Chaomu.
His tall figure cast a shadow over Xu Chaomu’s sun, as well as Dabai’s.
Upon seeing Shen Chi, Dabai began to bark happily, tilting his head and wagging his tail, clearly overjoyed.
Xu Chaomu felt annoyed, having tried to engage Dabai for so long with no response. Now Shen Chi had just arrived and the dog couldn’t be happier.
“Just looking at the sky,” Xu Chaomu replied coolly to Shen Chi.
“Wasn’t the deal to split the pistachios between us?” Shen Chi looked at the box that still had a small half left.
“We did split them, I ate my half, and the rest is for Dabai.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, did you think I was saving them for you?” Xu Chaomu threw a few more pistachios into her mouth and snorted.
“With that IQ of yours, practice a few more years before you try lying again. I know better than you what Dabai eats,” Shen Chi looked at Xu Chaomu with contempt.
“You! You! You!” Xu Chaomu became furious.
Was the big and the small one both here to pick on her or what…
Angered, she grabbed a handful of pistachios and was about to toss them into her mouth when her wrist was caught by Shen Chi.
“Your teeth have just recovered a few days ago, have you forgotten?” Shen Chi’s eyes were cool and clear as he spoke harshly.
“Mind your own business, aren’t you supposed to accompany Miss Bai for a stroll? Go ahead. Let me tell you, there’s a beautiful park in the southern part of C City. There are lots of flower shows this season. If you give Miss Bai a bouquet of roses, I guarantee she’ll be passionate tonight. You can go as many rounds as you want, no problem.”
‘ Shen Chi’s mouth twitched.
Were these the words of an eighteen-year-old girl? But then, recalling what she had done to him in the bathroom and in the car, he calmed down.
Shen Chi lifted her chin with a smile that was not quite a smile, gazing at her wickedly: “What if I gave a bouquet to you?”
According to her logic, shouldn’t she be the one to become passionate?
“If you gave a bouquet to me, I would just help you pass it on to Miss Bai.”
“Oh? Not passionate anymore?”
“Second-hand men, I don’t want!” Xu Chaomu wickedly gazed at Shen Chi.
A fleeting cold light flashed in Shen Chi’s sharp eyes. Second-hand man? This girl, what guts!
Feeling the sudden drop in temperature around her, Xu Chaomu hastily stepped back.
Why so cold, she was just speaking the truth!
“Xu Chaomu, how would you know whether I’m firsthand or secondhand without trying?” The threat approached step by step.
Dammit, how could that be tried?
“Stop messing around, I’d rather die than surrender!”
Xu Chaomu grew cowardly; she had forgotten her lofty ambitions: to kiss him, sleep with him, tease him.
“Don’t worry.” Shen Chi patted her little face, still smiling his killer smile, “I,
Shen Chi, am not so desperate as to be, indiscriminate, in my, choosing.”
As he spoke, his gaze stayed fixated on her neckline, prompting Xu Chaomu to kick out!
“You beast in human clothing!” Xu Chaomu gritted her teeth.
Not so desperate as to be indiscriminate; was that not just mocking her lack of chest?!
She had been ridiculed by him many times already, so she suddenly changed to a smile, “Fourth Brother, could it be that you are impotent?”
Impotent? This was the first time Shen Chi had ever heard anyone dare to say that about him.
Even though he truly had never touched a woman, he still knew whether he was capable or not.
He really wanted to pull Xu Chaomu up and show her with action whether he, Shen Chi, was capable or not!
However, he patted her face, half-smiling: “Whether I’m capable or not isn’t for you to say; you’d have to try to know.”
And so, Shen Chi felt that he couldn’t continue discussing these not suitable for children topics with Xu Chaomu any longer.
He stood up and took all the pistachios from her hands, “We’ll go to the hospital later for a follow-up.”
“Hey! Those are the pistachios I shelled, why are you snatching them all away!” Xu Chaomu raged.
Dabai “woof woof woof” barked a few times, but it was not barking at Shen Chi, but rather at Xu Chaomu.
Xu Chaomu was near tears and felt like killing it!
When she dejectedly returned to the garden, Bai Man was still chatting with a group of people. She had no idea how Shen Chi had managed to get away from Bai Man to find her in the doghouse…
She walked past the garden, planning to head upstairs.
Shen Yanrou and Shen Shihan, who were talking in a corner, fell silent when they saw Xu Chaomu approaching.
After watching Xu Chaomu go upstairs, Shen Yanrou gave a meaningful glance.
“Shihan, how does this girl compare with Miss Bai?” disdain filled Shen Yanrou’s eyes.
“She can’t compare with Bai Man, not from any angle. But, liking someone is not about comparison, it’s about feelings,” Shen Shihan folded his arms, an expression of cool detachment on his face..
