Chapter 1108: Chapter 1105: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (66)

Yan Xu’s recent bedtime was 10:30 PM, but at this moment, it was already past eleven.

At this time, there were fewer cars on the road. Bai Lu worried Yan Xu might get sleepy, so she chose a set of soothing music to play and turned up the heat a bit.

"Yan Xu, if you’re tired, you can take a nap. I drive pretty smoothly," she said.

Yan Xu didn’t seem interested in sleeping, "I’m not tired."

Bai Lu no longer pressed the issue. After a while, seeing that he was indeed still awake, she said, "Aunt Sihan really takes good care of herself. Calling her ’Aunt’ makes me feel a bit guilty, ’Sister’ would be more fitting."

Yan Xu replied, "They have good foundations, and their attitudes are positive too, so they become more youthful as they live."

Bai Lu didn’t quite understand at first, "They?"

"Mommy and me, and my little aunt—aren’t they all quite young-looking? Whenever little Xiao Xiao and I go out with Mommy, people mistake us for three siblings."

Bai Lu thought about it and, indeed, it seemed true.

"Ah, if only I could take care of myself as well as they do when I’m older."

Yan Xu looked at her and said with certainty.

"You will!"

Bai Lu laughed, "Yan Xu, what makes you so sure? I don’t even dare to guarantee it myself!"

Yan Xu seemed to seriously ponder this for a moment, "Because your heart is big enough that small annoyances can’t get to you. And you’re smart and hardworking enough that you can solve the big troubles."

Bai Lu was startled at first, but once she understood his words, she immediately laughed.

"Hey, baby boy Young Master!"

Yan Xu met her eyes, "Hm?"

Bai Lu threw him a flirtatious look, "Thank you for your extraordinary appraisal of me. With you saying that, I suddenly feel like I’m radiating with the light of a deity."

Yan Xu laughed as well, "The light of a nervous deity or a nagging deity?"

Bai Lu rolled her eyes, "Yan Xu, with that mouth of yours, you’re going to end up single for life, you know that?"

Yan Xu stared at her, smiling, "Is that so?"

Bai Lu kept her eyes on the road and didn’t notice that Yan Xu’s gaze on her was a bit different than usual.

It seemed inquisitive, with a hint of probing.

"Of course, people like you are the kind that lots of girls chase after, and then, once caught, get dumped by the girls quite quickly."

Yan Xu asked for advice with humility, "Why? After all the effort of chasing, to then dump the guy—that girl must have a hole in her head!"

His words sounded quite subjective, but Bai Lu, who understood Yan Xu, knew he wasn’t one to judge things based solely on subjectivity.

Now, his strange logic piqued her curiosity.

"Why do you say that?"

Yan Xu then explained very seriously, "First of all, that girl must have chased him only because of his good looks, which is already a rash decision."

"No matter how attractive a person’s appearance is, it’s not a sufficient reason to pursue them."

Bai Lu grew even more curious, "So, you don’t believe that love at first sight exists in this world?"

Yan Xu shook his head, "No, I believe it does. But I also believe that just love at first sight is not enough to sustain a long-term relationship. What keeps two people together in the long run must be their love for each other, not just sensory pleasure and admiration."

Bai Lu finally understood his point, "Hmm, so, if it were you, even if you liked a girl’s appearance at first sight, you’d still learn about her personality and more, making sure you like her inside as well before you pursue her?"

Yan Xu nodded, "Correct, it’s the same for both men and women, that’s why I said she’s too hasty."

"Makes sense, what’s the second point?"

Bai Lu had always thought that Yan Xu was a sucker for looks, after all, he was so handsome himself, and the elders and relatives around him were basically all stunners, so for a while, she had thought that he would put appearance in the first place.

But having heard what he just said, she realized that compared to Yan Xu, she was the one with a superficial understanding of love!

"The second point is that she lacks a sense of responsibility."

Bai Lu made a questioning "Hmm?"—his perspective was truly different from most people.

"She was the one who pursued the relationship, so she should be prepared to give each other plenty of time to understand and adjust. If she is not patient enough to understand and adjust before breaking up, what is that if not irresponsibility?"

It seemed, there was really something to his logic!

Responsibility wasn’t just about the boys.

Girls too.

Since they decided to date, they really should give each other enough time to understand and accept one another.

"Alright, Mr. Yan Xu, I take back what I just said!"

Yan Xu nodded, "Hmm, so?"

Bai Lu was caught off guard by the question, and just as the car stopped at a red light, she stopped the car and turned to look at him.

"So what?"

Yan Xu met her gaze straight on, "So, what kind of guy do I seem to you now?"

Bai Lu’s heart suddenly felt like it was struck hard by something.

She wasn’t sure which had more impact, his slightly profound gaze or his words.

However, no matter what it was that struck her, she found his question difficult to answer.

Or perhaps, before she heard his opinions, she thought that Yan Xu was just that kind of person—aloof, not very good at considering others’ feelings.

But she had overlooked something: a person like Yan Xu, if he truly was willing to accept a girl, would not treat her with an indifferent and lofty attitude. Instead, he would be extremely considerate and doting, probably like how he was with the baby boy.

And if he was indifferent and neglectful towards a girl, then he would definitely not agree to a relationship.

So, from the start, she had the wrong impression.

"Let me think..."

Yan Xu was still staring at her, "Weren’t you quick to conclude just now? How come, revising your opinion is so hard?"

Bai Lu shook her head, "No, it’s not revising, it’s a complete overturn!"

Yan Xu did not press further, "Fine, take your time and think."

So Bai Lu pondered over this question all the way back.

Until they returned to the Yan Family house, and when it looked like they were about to head to their own rooms, she stopped Yan Xu at the door.

"Yan Xu, I think I have a conclusion."

Yan Xu’s hand had already touched the doorknob, but upon hearing her say that, he let go, took a few steps toward her, leaned against the wall with one arm, his long legs casually crossed, arms folded across his chest as he looked at her leisurely.

"Come on, I am all ears."

Bai Lu licked her lips, composed herself, and then said, "After listening to what you just said, I think you’re probably the most knowledgeable about love amongst our peers that I’ve ever met."

Yan Xu raised an eyebrow, his eyes clearly showing amusement, "Oh? Upgraded from a scumbag to a male god just like that, this height is dizzying—I’m having a hard time handling it!"

Bai Lu gave him a look, "Stop it! Keep it up and I’ll stop talking, okay!"
