Chapter 8: Confession of the Pet Church 2
That evening, with blessings for Polly, Bai Xiaocong, Lu Zhan and I, oh, and Xiao Huihui who was led by Lu Zhan, all of us watched Polly and the others leave.
As the plane slowly took off in front of me, every moment I spent with Polly replayed in my mind. I had always felt that the work was hard, but now that the dust had settled, I actually felt a little reluctant to leave...
"Okay, Polly has been sent away. Xiaoduo, thank you so much this time." Lu Zhan shrugged his shoulders, stood in front of me, and thanked me with a smile.
"No, I'm very happy to be able to help Polly." I smiled and shook my head.
"Woof——" Xiao Huihui circled around me, looking at me with his big black eyes. Because A Baibai hated crowded places, he didn't follow me. Even if Xiao Huihui wanted to say something, I didn't know what he meant, so I could only squat down and touch his furry head.
"You were cheated by Polly, aren't you angry?" Bai Xiaocong stood behind me and asked with her eyes wide open.
Bai Xiaocong put on her big black-framed glasses again, with her bangs covering her forehead, and she instantly looked much younger.
"Of course I'm angry. I was deceived by a parrot... But I'm also relieved because it didn't suffer that kind of pain, and it has a good owner who can tolerate its willfulness - isn't this better than anything else?" I wiped away the last trace of haze in my heart, ran a few steps towards the airport exit, then turned around and raised my eyebrows and said.
On the way home, Lu Zhan received a call from home and took Xiao Huihui home early. In the empty bus, except for the driver, there were only Bai Xiaocong and I.
The bus made a muffled engine sound, and occasionally the wheels rolled over small stones, causing the windows to vibrate and make noises throughout the space.
The setting sun outside the window was still diligently emitting its last light and heat, and the fish-scale clouds in the sky were dyed golden red by the setting sun.
I sat in the back seat of the bus, put my head close to the window, and watched the scenery passing by rapidly behind me. For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
Bai Xiaocong sat next to me, looking restless. He glanced at me secretly from time to time, but when I looked at him, he moved his eyes away and quickly tapped something on his mobile phone.
I secretly looked at Bai Xiaocong. The golden red sunset cast a light orange-red hue on his face through the window, making him look as pretty as pink rose petals. His slightly upturned eyes were hidden behind the lenses. Only those who had seen him without his glasses knew how clean and clear his eyes were. He pursed his lips slightly, looking a little unhappy, and his beautiful eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, as if he was thinking about something.
Have a look……
Take another look…
I have so many questions in my mind that I want to ask Bai Xiaocong, for example, his former school, his classmates, and what kind of life he has led in the past...
But every time the words came to my lips, nothing came out.
When I looked at Bai Xiaocong, he seemed to notice my gaze and looked towards me. However, the moment our eyes met, I quickly looked away like a thief.
My heart was pounding and I felt uncomfortable every time I stole a glance at Bai Xiaocong.
I don't know when it started, but I found myself unable to face him with a natural attitude. Every time I saw him, I was afraid that I couldn't appear in front of him in the most perfect way, and I was afraid that he would distance himself from me because of my mediocrity...
This self, seems like a stranger...
I secretly glanced at Bai Xiaocong again. Bai Xiaocong didn't seem to have any intention of speaking. Her slender fingertips tapped lightly on the back of the front seat, as if she was in deep thought.
"We have arrived at Baiyin Road. Passengers who wish to get off please prepare to get off—"
Just when I mustered up the courage to talk to Bai Xiaocong, the bus arrived at the stop near my home.
I had something stuck in my heart that I wanted to say but couldn't. I could only stare at Bai Xiaocong with wide eyes.
"You..." Bai Xiaocong raised her head, blinked in confusion, and suddenly realized, "Ah, do you want to get off? Sorry, I'm thinking about something..."
After saying that, he stood up and made way.
You--you claim to be able to read people's inner world through their facial expressions? Why can't you see that I have something to say to you!
I roared loudly in my heart, but on the surface I nodded at him expressionlessly and got out of the car calmly.
When the bus started again, I couldn't help but beat my chest and stamp my feet as I watched the bus disappear into the distance.
"Bai Xiaocong, you idiot!" I yelled in the direction the bus was heading, as if to vent my anger.
"No, Bai Xiaocong is very smart. He is just a little slow in emotions!" A voice came over.
I looked down and saw that Abaibai had squatted at my feet, with the white hair on his chest fluttering in the wind.
"You - when did you come?" I blushed after being seen in such an embarrassing scene and hurried back.
"It started when you started beating your chest and stamping your feet, and changed your expressions a dozen times in one second." Abaibai blinked and said as a matter of course.
Ahhhh, Abaibai actually saw it!
I pouted, tried to pretend nothing had happened, and walked forward quickly.
"Okay, don't be angry. Actually, he promised Bai Xiaocong to protect your safety. He just called me and asked me to pick you up! Am I very good? How about giving me a can of beef in the evening?" A Baibai followed me and asked while jogging.
"Bai Xiaocong... want you to pick me up?" I grasped the key point of A Baibai's words, and a sweet feeling spread in my heart. It turned out that Bai Xiaocong still cared about me!
Ah Baibai glanced at me sideways and suddenly threw me a thunderbolt: "Actually, you like white onions, right?"
"Xi...xixi...like it?" I stopped and looked at Abaibai in surprise.
"Do you think you can hide it from Lord Abaibai? You have been avoiding Bai Xiaocong recently. Occasionally, you will blush when you look at each other. When you are alone, you will sigh. Abaibai has seen many young girls in love like this--" Abaibai shook his ears and said calmly.
I... like white shallots?
Is this feeling of anxiety and accelerated heartbeat what love is?
My heart breaks when I think of him, and I miss him even more when I can't see him. I hope everyone likes him and wants to know more about him...
I... like white shallots, right?
A corner of my heart seemed to be suddenly filled with peach blossoms, and the whole world seemed to have turned pink with petals floating in the air.
"So, when are you going to confess?" A Baibai snorted.
"Tell, tell, tell—Bai?" After hearing what Abaibai said, my face felt like boiling water, so hot that it seemed like my blood was about to smoke.
"How can I confess so casually - I'm a girl - and I don't know Bai Xiaocong very well - what if Bai Xiaocong has someone she likes..." I explained in a panic, but the more I spoke, the less I knew what I was saying.
It was as if there were two villains engaging in a tug-of-war in my heart. One insisted that I should confess my love first no matter what, while the other said that confessing was something a boy should do, not to mention that I didn't even know the other person's basic information!
"It's just a confession. Instead of rotting in the corner silently, it's better to get an answer directly, whether it's good or bad. At least you won't have any regrets in your heart. What's more - I don't think Bai Xiaocong dislikes you..." Ah Baibai blinked and said cunningly.
"But... I found that I don't know Bai Xiaocong at all..." I lowered my head and said with a heavy heart, "It doesn't mean that if you like someone, you have to like everything about him, but... I don't even know his preferences... I can't just go over and ask him like this, right?"
"Well - I can't help you with this. In fact, I have only been living in Bai Xiaocong's house in the past six months, so I don't know much about his past..." A Baibai said with his head tilted.
I walked to the side of the road, squatted down, and Abaibai sat on the ground with me.
"well--"
Abaibai and I sighed at the same time.
It’s really troublesome to like something, but giving up halfway is not my character, Xiao Xiaoduo!
What if you don't know his past? Why don't you check it out?
What's wrong with not knowing what he likes? Can I ask him?
As long as you have the will, there is nothing you can’t do !
Since we are going to learn more about Bai Xiaocong, let’s start with the basics! So - let’s start by asking about his school!
