"Like me?" Youyou shook her head immediately, "No way, you’re overthinking it. I just see him as an older brother, that’s all, we’ve known each other for so many years."

Xue Mengmeng thought she was hopeless, "You think of him as an older brother, so he just sees you as a little sister? Knowing each other for so long isn’t a reason not to like someone."

"What are you talking about, that’s impossible." Youyou had never considered such a possibility, "If he liked me, he would’ve liked me long ago."

Xue Mengmeng was stunned for a moment too.

Yeah, Shen Lingfeng hasn’t said anything all this time, which makes them doubt his sincerity.

If Li Chaoxi liked her and hasn’t said anything for so many years, wouldn’t that be even more suspicious?

"Uh, but maybe he didn’t like you before and then grew to like you?" Xue Mengmeng analyzed this possibility, "You didn’t like Shen Lingfeng before, and now you’re practically obsessed."

She rolled her eyes, "I was six, what does a six-year-old know? But when did we meet Li Chaoxi? Sixteen! Why do you have to say that, if it’s not true, it’s so awkward."

Xue Mengmeng shrugged, "I just think it’s quite possible, it’s a feeling. He does have reasons beyond his control. He’s ripe for dating now. Not to mention his company wouldn’t allow it, if he started dating, his girlfriend would face attacks from girls nationwide."

"So what do you suggest??"

Xue Mengmeng’s eyes lit up, "I have an idea!"

"Huh?"

"I’ll ask!"

At the dinner table, Xue Mengmeng first praised, "Brother Chaoxi, your cooking skills haven’t diminished, your future wife is going to be over the moon with happiness. Come on, let’s toast first."

The few of them helplessly clinked glasses, toasting was something only Mengmeng had enthusiasm for.

After setting down her glass, Xue Mengmeng asked with a mischievous smile, "So, Li Chaoxi, when do you plan to consider the big matters of life?"

Li Chaoxi held his chopsticks, a faint smile on his lips, "Why the sudden concern with this?"

"Well, it’s a must! In high school, your admirers could form a line from the east gate to the west gate of the school, yet you stayed single throughout. In college, oh by then you had already entered the industry, gained countless fans, and I heard many actresses liked you too, but you remained single. For someone who’s never short of women’s affection, if you’ve never dated, wouldn’t there be some issue?"

Youyou covered her forehead, finding it outrageous that, when promising to help ask, she would instead question whether there was something wrong with Li Chaoxi.

Li Chaoxi raised an eyebrow, his chopsticks came to a pause, "You think there’s something wrong with me?"

She chuckled, "Well, who knows about these things. Perhaps only you know. Or maybe you have some... psychological issues you can’t talk about?"

Li Chaoxi placed a piece of grilled meat in Youyou’s bowl, "Youyou, what’s with her today?"

"She..." Youyou quickly signaled to Xue Mengmeng with her eyes.

Xue Mengmeng received the signal and sighed, "Actually, I have a question I want to ask you; if you have psychological issues, then I don’t need to ask. Because for this question, I want to ask a man who understands a normal man’s psyche."

"I’m perfectly normal, ask away." Li Chaoxi said nonchalantly.

"Then I’ll go ahead." Xue Mengmeng didn’t hold back, "The question is about whether a man’s behavior indicates if he loves a woman."
