After being tagged by a rival

? After Zhuang Xinbai's words fell, the two were silent for a long time, relatively speechless.

Xie Rong's fingertips trembled, then took a breath, and said softly: "Why..." She stopped halfway through her words, and then pinched the center of her eyebrows, "Sorry, it's my problem."

Hearing Xie Rong's apology, Zhuang Xinbai raised her head, and quickly said: "No need to apologize, Xiao Rong, this is not your problem." She was a little anxious and distressed, and scratched her hair, "I mean you seem to be I didn't understand, but I think that if you like someone, then no matter..."

Xie Rong gently interrupted her, "I understand what you want to say."

She knows it all.But it is precisely because of knowing and understanding that I don't know how to refute at this moment.

She wanted to tell Zhuang Xinbai that there was no doubt that she liked her, but in front of such "evidence", she didn't have any corresponding "evidence" to prove herself, so she seemed at a loss and troubled.

Zhuang Xinbai stopped talking, she pursed her lips, and then said in a low voice: "Like this kind of relationship will make people not like themselves. For example, indifferent people become gentle, tolerant people become selfish, selfish People who become dedicated and so on...maybe I said some extreme examples, but what I want to say is."

"If you fall in love with someone, it will inevitably bring about a change in contrast. But you, Xiaorong, are you who are still very good."

"You are still sensible, calm, peaceful and indifferent, Xiaorong is still Xiaorong, you have not lost control of your liking for me, and you have a good grasp of that degree. This is also what I think, your liking for me may not be the kind of liking for love reason."

Xie Rong lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Zhuang Xinbai took a deep breath, "Because we're still friends anyway, so I'm not afraid to tell Xiaorong that I actually... had my heart set on Mousse before."

Xie Rong raised his eyes abruptly, his eyes trembling with emotion, "Then...?"

Zhuang Xinbai: "But there is no destiny, then Mu Si told me that she has someone she likes."

Xie Rong frowned slightly, not knowing what to comfort her at this moment, but it was undeniable that she still had some unspeakable joy in her heart.

"But when Mousse pursued me, I was actually hesitant, a little bit repelled and couldn't believe it." Zhuang Xinbai lowered his head and smiled, "Because Mousse gave me the feeling that you are like Xiaorong you brought the same today."

"She said she likes me just like you, but I can't feel it. I know her words are not adulterated, but her liking may not be what I want."

Xie Rong pursed her lips, "What you want to say is that she didn't lose control because of you."

Zhuang Xinbai shook her head lightly, "I didn't want her to do that kind of action, but... a feeling, or the way she looked at me."

Having said that, she looked up at Xie Rong, who looked down at her.

"Just like now, Xiaorong, I look at you, and I know that I am your friend, friend, relative who grew up together, but I never feel that I am the person you like."

Xie Rong's expression was tense for a moment, and the line of his lips was straightened.

"Do you need me to prove anything?"

Zhuang Xinbai laughed, "How can this kind of thing be proven? When you say this, Xiaorong, it shows that your liking is not what I want."

Xie Rong pursed his lips, his expression a little cold.

"But I..." She paused, not knowing how to continue this senseless struggle.

She wanted to say that if Zhuang Xinbai didn't like her, she could refuse directly instead of forcing her to back down in this way.But Xie Rong knew that Zhuang Xinbai would not do this, every word she said came from the heart, and what the other party said was also the truth.

Xie Rong lowered his eyes, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.

Zhuang Xinbai patted her arm, "Okay Xiaorong, don't worry about it anymore, let's go back first."

Xie Rong followed her footsteps.

After a while she asked: "If my liking is what you want, then you..."

Zhuang Xinbai thought for a while, then shook his head, "I'm sorry, then I'm afraid I have to formally reject you."

I don't know why, after hearing this answer, Xie Rong didn't feel sad as imagined, but only expected loss, and a kind of melancholy.

"Because you do not like me."

Zhuang Xinbai smiled, "I still like you very much, but I don't want to fall in love with you. So I have to formally reject you."

Xie Rong looked down at her smiling face, and the original melancholy in her heart was washed away by her smile.She took a deep breath and looked away.

"I know."

She wouldn't blame Zhuang Xinbai either.

Whether you like it or not, you can't force it.It was enough for Zhuang Xinbai to face up to her emotions and give her a positive response.

Xie Rong slightly bent his lips, but there was a sense of loneliness between his brows.

After being rejected, Xie Rong didn't feel as sad as he thought, but instead had the illusion that... his mind was over.

She didn't know if she really liked Zhuang Xinbai's feelings, but anyway, now that the matter has been resolved, it can be regarded as officially over.

Xie Rong's own wish was fulfilled.

After that, she will still treat Zhuang Xinbai as usual.After all, they are still friends who grew up together anyway, Xie Rong will not choose to stay away just because the confession is rejected.

and……

She didn't know if it was true as what Zhuang Xinbai said, after being rejected, Xie Rong didn't feel heartbroken or resentful. Apart from a touch of sadness and loneliness, she seemed to be the same as usual.

After walking in silence for a while, after entering the school gate, Xie Rong asked: "Xinbai, what kind of emotion do you think you like...?"

Zhuang Xinbai thought for a while, "It's probably because of him/her, and she will abandon all the principles she sticks to for that person."

"If it's you, Xiaorong, if one day there is someone who will let you break your mask and make your originally calm and indifferent state of mind more turbulent, maybe your liking at that time will be your real liking."

"And there is the most important point." She suddenly turned serious, but her ears turned red.

Zhuang Xinbai lowered her voice, "If you like someone, you will also want to be in close contact with him/her all the time, as if suffering from skin hunger and thirst, and not affected by pheromones, you want to mark it every day , let your pheromone dissolve with the other party, and the other party's eyes can make you...cough."

Xie Rong was slightly taken aback.

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Xinbai herself was very embarrassed, she glanced at Xie Rong, "That's why I said, I didn't feel anything from Xiao Rong's eyes. You...you want to mark me every day ?"

She asked calmly because she had been friends with Xie Rong for many years, and the feeling Xie Rong gave her was not like that, so Zhuang Xinbai was able to ask this question calmly.

Xie Rong pursed her lips and did not answer the question, but she already had the answer in her heart.

Because Xie Rong knew that he would not...

She wanted to take care of Zhuang Xinbai, and wanted to live with him forever, but she never thought of marking her every day as if she was in heat, let alone having sexual fantasies about Zhuang Xinbai.

Xie Rong closed his eyes and pinched his fingertips.

Before this, Xie Rong always felt that it was only because she liked Zhuang Xinbai, not her body as an omega.

But after Zhuang Xinbai figured it out, Xie Rong suddenly realized that maybe it wasn't because she respected Zhuang Xinbai, but because she hadn't reached the point of making an exception for him.

Thinking of this, Xie Rong's eyes trembled.

Probably because he saw that Xie Rong was a little shocked, Zhuang Xinbai didn't bother her, but just comforted her when the two said goodbye and separated, "Xiao Rong, you don't have to be too stressed, I just said this, maybe your Comparing the situation, that is, calm down."

"But no matter what, we will always be best friends. Don't let today's incident hinder our relationship. You can still find me if you have anything to do, okay?"

Xie Rong looked at her, then nodded.

So Zhuang Xinbai rolled her eyes, "Then goodbye."

Xie Rong went back to the bedroom alone.

She looked at the snow that hadn't completely melted by the side of the road, feeling empty in her heart.

From the tense anticipation at the very beginning, to the relaxed blankness of not thinking about anything, her mentality has changed quite a lot.Xie Rong lowered his eyes and bent his lips subconsciously.

But by any measure, today's situation is not bad.

At any rate, she expressed her heart and got a reply, and she and Xinbai were still able to maintain their friendship.That's good enough.

And as for Zhuang Xinbai's liking...

Xie Rong thought, maybe she needs to think more about this matter.

After returning to the dormitory, only Zhao Rongrong and Mo Li were there. Seeing Xie Rong came back, Zhao Rongrong asked jokingly, "How is Xiaorong's date today?"

Xie Rong's brows moved slightly, "Why do you say that?"

Zhao Rongrong smiled and said, "Hey, we all saw you walking around the campus with a little omega at that time, so what other guesses can there be besides dating. How about it, did it work?"

Xie Rong sat down at his desk, hearing the words, he just said indifferently: "You think too much, that's my friend."

Zhao Rongrong was surprised: "So you don't deny at all that it was an omega that walked with you!"

Xie Rong raised his eyebrows.

Zhao Rongrong was very excited, as if she had just met the melon, "I never thought that Xiao Rong would get so close to an omega one day, obviously many omega confessed to you before, and you didn't take it seriously!"

Xie Rong sighed, and then said: "You misunderstood, she is my friend, she was before."

But Zhao Rongrong still felt something was wrong.

Xie Rong didn't care about her guess, because she didn't want to tell this matter, she just needed to know it herself.

Mo Li stopped Zhao Rongrong and didn't let her ask any more questions, and then she asked another question: "Where is Mu Si, where did you go?"

Zhao Rongrong shook her head, "Who knows, she went out after eating..."

Then before he finished speaking, the door opened, and Qi Musi came back.
