Chapter 048

“I don’t think what you said is right,” Yu Shu, who had rich experience in sweet novels, instinctively felt that there was something fishy about Yan Jin’s words. “Being shy is normal.”

“How can you be shy when kissing someone you like?” Yan Jin said, “It’s all about being happy.”

Yu Shu asked Yan Jin, “How do you know?”

“Because I have experience,” Yan Jin said righteously, “So you should listen to me on this, I can’t be wrong.”

Yu Shu’s first reaction was to roll his eyes.

Seeing that he didn’t believe her, Yan Jin added, “There is a gap between theory and practice. Practice is the only standard to test theory.”

“I don’t believe it.” Yu Shu reached out to cover Yan Jin’s mouth, “You always like to deceive me, but I won’t believe it this time.”

“Do you still remember ‘Entanglement’?” Yan Jin asked Yu Shu.

Yu Shu hesitantly nodded, “I remember.”

It was his first book. In order to write the emotional line between the male and female protagonists, he had done a lot of homework.

Yan Jin: “In this book, before the male protagonist kisses the female protagonist, he is nervous and excited, but not shy at all.”

Yu Shu slightly frowned. Although it had been a few years, he still remembered that when describing the male protagonist’s mood at that time, he did focus on describing the nervousness and excitement, but not shyness.

“If you don’t believe others, you should at least believe yourself.” Seeing Yu Shu lost in thought, Yan Jin seized the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot. “Yuanyuan, you really misunderstood.”

Although Yu Shu was very reluctant to admit Yan Jin’s words, what she said did make some sense.

When he wrote it himself, he subconsciously excluded the factor of shyness, so his previous inference couldn’t stand.

Although he had theories, they contradicted his previous views.

Moreover, if theory really outweighed practice, he wouldn’t be at a loss like he was now.

But… was his feeling for Xiaoxiao really just friendship?

That’s what Yu Shu thought, and that’s what he asked Yan Jin.

“Of course.” Yan Jin answered without hesitation, “If you had romantic feelings for me, you would constantly show me your charm. But have you?”

Yu Shu silently counted the silly things he had done in front of Yan Jin and fell silent.

Seeing that Yu Shu seemed to be convinced by her, Yan Jin seized the opportunity to touch Yu Shu’s hand. The latter, as if scalded, immediately withdrew his hand and looked at Yan Jin with a startled gaze.

“See?” Yan Jin pointed at Yu Shu’s flushed cheeks and spoke with conviction, “If you liked me, your first reaction when I touched your hand would be to happily hold it back, not to be scared and withdraw your hand.”

[Just now, when I saw someone say that the fortune-teller said Yu Shu’s love life would be bumpy, I snorted disdainfully: this is all feudal superstition. Now I believe it. Yu Shu’s love life is really bumpy. I have no choice but to believe it!] [I wish I could rush in immediately to shut Yan Jin up and push their heads together to kiss! When in doubt, kiss first. If there are feelings, then it’s mutual love! There’s no need to analyze it so slowly.] [I’m numb. Let’s team up to cross into this world and push their heads together. Otherwise, the country may be unified, but they still won’t be together.]

Yu Shu really felt that what Yan Jin said was wrong, but he had theories without practical experience, so he couldn’t judge who was right or wrong between him and Yan Jin for a while.

Thinking that he indeed hadn’t shown his charm in front of Yan Jin, and that Yan Jin had been in relationships before and must have more experience than him, Yu Shu, who felt both sour and bitter, had to admit that he might, possibly only have friendly affection for Yan Jin.

But Yu Shu felt a little unwilling in his heart. He wasn’t a fool. He knew that his feelings were different when facing Yan Jin.

But Yu Shu had no experience and wasn’t sure what kind of feelings he had for Yan Jin. It just so happened that what Yan Jin said and the examples she gave were all contrary to what he thought, so Yu Shu was very confused for a while.

“The sun is too strong. Let’s go home first and not stand outside.” Seeing Yu Shu in a daze, Yan Jin sighed in her heart and softened her tone, “If there’s anything, let’s talk about it when we get home. You’re also holding so many books in your hands. Aren’t you afraid of getting tired?”

Books?

Yu Shu subconsciously looked at the novels in his hand, and his eyes gradually lit up.

He had no experience, so he might make wrong judgments.

But these An Kingdom novelists were different from him!

Why didn’t he try to find answers from the novels and see whose judgment standards, his or Xiaoxiao’s, were the same?

If the novels were still contrary to his views, then he would go ask Ah De!

He didn’t believe that his feelings for Xiaoxiao were not love, but friendship.

The more Yu Shu thought about it, the more he felt that this plan could work. He also swept away his previous dejection and became much more energetic.
