Chapter 458 Will Not Give Up
Looking at the young man with a bright smile at the door, Mu Xiaoyu hesitated for a while before asking, "Are you... the boy from the bar last time?"
"It seems the young lady still remembers me."
The young man smiled at Mu Xiaoyu, leaned forward slightly as he spoke, and seeing that there seemed to be no one else in the villa, he tentatively asked, "Miss, may I come in and talk to you?"
At the moment, Mu Xiaoyu didn't know the other party's background, and the other party's attitude was far too enthusiastic, so Mu Xiaoyu was very wary of the young man. Therefore, upon hearing the young man's words, Mu Xiaoyu refused without thinking, saying, "Let's just say what we have to say here. I don't know you well yet, it's not appropriate to go in like this."
Xiao Xinrou didn't seem surprised by Mu Xiaoyu's rejection. He just shrugged helplessly, but the next second his gaze towards Mu Xiaoyu suddenly became serious, which surprised Mu Xiaoyu.
"Sister Xiaoyu, actually, I wanted to contact you after we parted ways at the bar last time, but something came up at home and I couldn't get away. I also thought you might be busy, so I didn't contact you. I've thought a lot about this these past few days. I even thought it was just a passing fancy, but so many days have been enough for me to think things through."
The young man's words were incoherent and rambling. If it were the old Mu Xiaoyu, she might not have understood them at all. But now she's not some naive and innocent girl anymore. Even if she doesn't understand everything he says, she at least gets the gist of it.
She stared at the young man in disbelief, and managed to say, "You wouldn't be......"
"I want to pursue Sister Xiaoyu, so Sister Xiaoyu, would you be willing to give me such a chance?"
Before Mu Xiaoyu could finish speaking, the young man interrupted her. His tone was somewhat urgent, and his expression was a little nervous. Even his hands, which were at his sides, were moving restlessly, as if he was afraid that Mu Xiaoyu would refuse.
Mu Xiaoyu hadn't seen such a pure confession and pursuit in a long time. Her first love was Li Chenxu. All the budding romances she had experienced before were nipped in the bud by Li Chenxu because of his strong possessiveness. So, back in her school days, even if someone confessed to her or pursued her, they would basically disappear within a day or two. Now, thinking back on those pursuits and confessions, they all seemed like distant memories.
Mu Xiaoyu stared blankly at the young man in front of her for a while before she came to her senses. Seeing his nervous appearance, she couldn't help but laugh.
She didn't answer the young man immediately. Instead, she leaned back lazily, her clear black and white eyes scanning him up and down before finally asking, "Little friend, are you 20 yet?"
The young man paused for a moment upon hearing this, then shook his head blankly and stammered, "I just turned 18..."
If Mu Xiaoyu were drinking water at this moment, she would definitely spit it out.
No joke, just turned 18? She's almost a full twelve years older than this kid.
I can't take it anymore.
Mu Xiaoyu quickly suppressed the turmoil surging in her heart, swallowed hard, and said, "First of all, we don't know each other, that's secondary. The key point is that you are much younger than me. Do you know how old I am? I'm almost thirty. There's a huge gap between us. Besides, I just got divorced. I really don't have the mood to start a new relationship, you know?"
This was the first time Mu Xiaoyu had spoken so much with the young man. However, the already precarious smile on the young man's face finally disappeared when Mu Xiaoyu said these words.
There was no anger, just a hint of bewilderment.
Young and energetic, he's full of passion because of his hobbies, and his current bewildered and innocent look is quite endearing.
Mu Xiaoyu felt a pang of sympathy and was about to offer some words of comfort when she heard the young man speak to her again in the same firm tone as before: "Sister Xiaoyu! Do you remember what I said before? Age is not a problem at all. I really didn't think there would be such a big age gap between us, but so what? I like you, and I don't care about your age, I like you as a person. I know you're divorced, but isn't this a good opportunity to start over?"
Unexpectedly, the young man persisted, and his appearance was so innocent that Mu Xiaoyu didn't know how to refuse him.
She looked at the young man in front of her with some helplessness, and after a while she finally managed to say, "Oh dear, why won't you listen? We're really not suitable for each other. I've said what I needed to say. Don't stay here any longer, I still have to finish my manuscript."
After saying that, Mu Xiaoyu tried to close the door. But the young man had anticipated her move and immediately reached out to stop her from closing the door.
Mu Xiaoyu was about to get angry, but the young man spoke up first: "Sister Xiaoyu! I will not give up!"
After saying that, he let go of her hand and ran away before Mu Xiaoyu could get angry.
As Mu Xiaoyu watched the young man's departing figure, she suddenly smiled after a long while.
When she was with Li Chenxu, she never felt that she was old or aging. But now, compared to the young heartthrob, regardless of age, at least in terms of mindset, she has aged.
Mu Xiaoyu chuckled, shook her head, and headed back to her room.
Just as he turned around, Song Yin called.
"How about it?"
"How about what?"
Mu Xiaoyu was filled with questions, and Song Yin's lazy tone made her want to fall asleep.
"What do you mean, 'what happened'? You mean Gu Yeqi? He's the young heartthrob we met at the bar the other day!"
Mu Xiaoyu has now come to her senses. She wondered how Gu Yeqi knew her home address; it turns out that Song Yin gave him the address.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but roll her eyes and said directly to Song Yin on the other end of the phone, "Let me make this clear first, there's absolutely no chance between me and that young heartthrob. Do you know how old he is? He's just turned 18! Even if I were an older man dating a younger woman, I wouldn't date someone this young!"
"Hey Mu Xiaoyu, you're really clueless. I had someone inquire about it this morning, do you know how popular Gu Yeqi is? He has just as many suitors as Li Chenxu! Besides, what's wrong with an older woman dating a younger man? Look at all those female celebrities these days, aren't many of them dating younger men? I'm even planning to find a younger guy myself, what are you afraid of!"
