Rebirth in the 80s: The Scholar Wife is Cute

Yang Xiaoxi thought for a moment and realized that Shen Mianmian might indeed be right. She touched her hair and said, "That makes sense, but I always feel like something is off."

Shen Mianmian blinked and suggested, "You feel something is off because you think Cheng Feiyang never made a formal confession to pursue you. Then, he uses this method to keep making you believe that you were the one at fault and he’s the victim. And Cheng Feiyang occasionally uses this to pinch you, leaving you without confidence in this matter, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Yang Xiaoxi nodded repeatedly. "That’s exactly it, Mianmian. You really understand me so well. It’s just like that—he always says it was me taking advantage of him at first. Sometimes, he even says I had my eye on him from the start, deliberately taking the opportunity to get close while drinking."

Every time this topic comes up, Yang Xiaoxi regrets it deeply. She shouldn’t have run away back then but should have pretended to be asleep and let Cheng Feiyang wake up first. That way, she could have turned things around, like Cheng Feiyang could, by making a scene. Then, she wouldn’t be at such a disadvantage now.

Shen Mianmian laughed, "You are so carefree and outgoing. Cheng Feiyang doesn’t feel secure and can’t outtalk you. So, he can only pinch you like this. Apart from that, what else does he have to grasp onto you? It seems he really has no other way to deal with you."

Yang Xiaoxi is straightforward, and Cheng Feiyang probably finds it quite frustrating.

Xiaocui, having overheard, finally understood. "Xiaoxi, it’s you making him feel insecure."

Yang Xiaoxi calmed down a bit, "But that’s no reason to trick me like this! He hasn’t even confessed or pursued me officially."

Shen Mianmian laughed again, "Actually, he’s been chasing you all along; you just never noticed."

"Huh?" Yang Xiaoxi opened her mouth in surprise. "No way? He hasn’t even given me flowers."
