The early budding and development of love are often more about guessing and testing. No one dares to be too straightforward, lest they misunderstand the other person's meaning.

At least Xu Bo didn't dare to be too aggressive. Although Lei Pei expressed a lot of intimacy in general, this may also be because the other party missed the relationship between his former classmates and cherished the feeling that the two of them cherished each other.

So you have to be cautious when speaking, not too aggressive, lest it frighten Lei Pei and make her retreat directly, but not too conservative, so that she feels that he has no intention for her.

Conversation is a technical activity and an art, so it is quite difficult to control it well.

Fortunately, although Xu Bo had been in a bad situation before and was overwhelmed by family burdens, he still read a lot of books in his spare time, and in order to make money, he went out to accumulate a lot of social experience.

He didn't have a strong back before, so he kept a low profile. Now he finally has some confidence and capital. With the support of a good boss like Yu Fei, he gradually dares to show off his talents.

"You're not attending the class reunion just to meet me, your former idol, right?"

After Xu Bo thought for a while, he asked back.

This was just right. He guessed that it must be because of himself, but he didn't dare to guess too much, so he said it was to meet his idol, not his crush.

"Hehe, you guessed it right! I just want to meet you and see if you are still the same person as before!"

Lei Pei admitted it bluntly, but did not mention his feelings.

This is the advantage of girls in conversations. They can relax a little and be a little more adventurous. Because they are girls, they are more tolerant and less likely to be blamed.

"Did I disappoint you? People always change as they grow up!"

However, after Xu Bo listened to Lei Pei's words, he said a little disappointedly, how could a person remain the same, whether it is developing in a good direction or a bad direction, anyway, after so many years of absence, he must have changed. This is needless.

Doubtful.

"Why are you disappointed? Of course people will grow. The change I want to say is whether your character and personality have changed!"

"Then I discovered that your character and character are still the same as you. They have not become filthy because of the filthiness of society, so you are still you!"

"As for your changes, they are all good changes. From a young boy to a mature man, this is a good thing!"

Lei Pei saw that Xu Bo was overthinking, so he quickly explained it to Xu Bo in detail, and also praised Xu Bo a lot.

"Really? That's good! I'm still worried that you won't like me now! Hahahaha!"

After Xu Bo heard this, he was excited and happy. Lei Pei's current evaluation of himself was still good, so he was relieved!

This at least shows that she does not hate herself. In addition, what she said to those suitors before is that as long as she thinks it is impossible, she will not give any opportunities or hopes. Now that she can see opportunities and hopes, it means that it is possible for her!

It seems that I have surpassed others by a long way. This is a sign of reconciliation!

"Are you always so careful about what you say and do? Or are you just so careful when facing me?"

Seeing Xu Bo's flattered look, Lei Pei covered his mouth and smiled, then asked Xu Bo directly.

"Forehead……"

Xu Bo was stunned by this question. He needed to think about it carefully.

To say that he is usually cautious, he is actually careful, because his family does not allow him to make big mistakes, but he is also bold when he should be bold, because no matter how carefully you think about some things, you will not dare to say that they are foolproof.

Take some risks to do it.

But facing Lei Pei, he really didn't dare to be bold. He only dared to test cautiously a little bit. What he wanted now was to cultivate feelings first and see Lei Pei's reaction step by step. If Lei Pei gave a positive response

, just move forward a little.

"When I do things, I am careful when I should be careful, and I am bold when I should be bold, because life is like this. Someone seems to have summed it up. This way of doing things is called careful verification and bold attempt!"

"As for talking to you, according to an old saying, you are afraid of offending the beauty, so be careful!"

Xu Bo finally figured out how to answer this question, telling the truth, but the same thing, described in different ways, would be completely different.

For example, when he described what he did, at first glance, it was just like that, but when he thought about it carefully, he found that it really was the truth, and this is how people should behave!

When it came to describing his attitude towards Lei Pei, in order to avoid Lei Pei's misunderstanding and fear that he could not explain it well, he simply quoted an ancient saying with considerable connotation.

The advantage of saying it this way is that everyone has their own understanding of the ancient saying. When translated, it is too straightforward and makes people embarrassed to say it. But when speaking of the ancient saying directly, it depends on everyone's understanding.

The ancients said that being rude to a beautiful woman was actually because they were afraid that they would be too reckless and scare the beautiful woman, or hurt the beautiful woman, or say inappropriate words!

Everyone can have their own understanding, so when I said it like this, I expressed a little bit of my feelings and praised Lei Pei's beauty, but it was not too straightforward. Lei Pei was willing to accept the best. If he didn't want to accept it, he could just pretend not to understand.

.

But how could Lei Pei not understand what it meant to offend a beautiful woman?

She spent seven whole years in the library!

This is like a sweeping monk who has guarded the Sutra Pavilion for many years and guarded a mountain of gold and silver. Of course, he has quietly become a peerless master!

So after hearing this, Lei Pei bit his lip and smiled charmingly, staring at Xu Bo with his bright eyes, as if he could speak, but said nothing.

Xu Bo was a little embarrassed to be stared at, and he didn't know what Lei Pei meant by not saying anything but just looking at him and smiling.

"Are you thirsty? There seems to be a milk tea shop in front of you. Let me treat you!"

Xu Bo looked around awkwardly and saw a milk tea shop in the distance. It was decorated in a stylish way and there were many customers. It must be delicious. He thought that girls nowadays like to drink milk tea, so he thought

Use this to resolve the embarrassment.

"Okay! Let's go!"

Lei Pei nodded and did not dwell on the previous topic. He stood up gracefully and adjusted his long skirt.

The two of them walked to the milk tea shop in silence. They had obviously just had a good chat, but suddenly, they didn't know what to say.

By the time they walked over, a group of customers who had just entered the milk tea shop had just left.

"Welcome! The second cup for our couple today is half price. What do you two want?"

The staff said enthusiastically as soon as we entered the door.

Lei Pei and Xu Bo were both a little embarrassed. Lei Pei was a girl after all, so she simply stood behind Xu Bo and said nothing.

Xu Bo felt that if he acquiesced, he would always be a bit of a gangster. He and Lei Pei had not seen each other for many years, and they had only met for a few hours today. It seemed not good to take advantage of others for a few dollars.

"We are just friends, not lovers!"

Xu Bo finally opened his mouth to explain.

"Hahaha, handsome guy! You're even blushing and still don't admit it!"

Unexpectedly, the staff also had a rough and tactful character. They could see Xu Bo's embarrassment at a glance, but he spoke directly about it.

Now Xu Bo and Lei Pei were even more embarrassed. They carefully tested each other's attitude, but this outsider was so outspoken, which was really embarrassing.

“Two drinks at the original price!”

Xu Bo gritted his teeth and continued to refuse to admit it.

"What do you two need?"

When the staff saw this scene, they stopped insisting, so as not to offend Xu Bo and Lei Pei, they just followed the normal procedure and asked.

"Um...what do you like to drink?"

When Xu Bo saw the menu, it was so dense that he had no experience, so he had to turn to Lei Pei and ask.

“Freshly squeezed orange juice, just at room temperature!”

Lei Pei said without hesitation, obviously she is a regular customer of this type of store.

"Two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice! Room temperature!"

Xu Bo didn't choose either. Since he didn't understand, he just ordered twice as much.

"Twice the freshly squeezed orange juice! A cup of sixteen yuan, I charge you twenty-four! Please show me your payment code!"

After the staff heard this, they continued to do things according to their own ideas, and still charged the couple according to the half-price discount for the second cup.

Xu Bo's mouth twitched and he had no choice but to open his payment code.

The staff member smiled at him, and while scanning the code, he secretly squeezed his fist to encourage him to come on.

Xu Bo accepted this kindness even if he didn't accept it, because it was indeed in line with his own wishes, and it was also a tease for Lei Pei, so he just stayed shy and left the rest to the enthusiastic people!

There are some seats for two people in the store, and in the middle is a small table for customers to rest for a short time. Xu Bo and Lei Pei felt awkward standing, so they walked over and sat down.

Then the two of them still didn't know what to say. The clerk's amazing help made them feel as if their feelings were made clear, but they were embarrassed to speak.

"Have you read the book "White Deer Plain"?"

Lei Pei was sitting and suddenly asked Xu Bo.

"When I was working part-time, I watched TV intermittently, but not completely!"

Xu Bo replied hurriedly.

"Then do you think Tian Xiao'e would be happy if she didn't leave with Hei Wa and stayed at Guo Juren's house?"

Leipei continued to ask.

"No! He is just a tool!"

Xu Bo shook his head.

"Then following Hei Wa, wouldn't he die tragically in the end?"

Leipei continued to ask.
To be continued...
