Childhood sweetheart? I'd choose a rich woman!

Chapter 33 Would you look down on a boy for being poor?

Su Jie looked around. "Where's your best friend?"

Shen Ruoxuan went into the room. "She's tired and already asleep."

"Don't let her interfere in our affairs."

Su Jie stepped aside, "All you do is ramble on and on, never getting to the point. It's so annoying."

Shen Ruoxuan pursed her lips. "She's also a lifelong single, never been in a relationship!"

"He's never been in a relationship himself, yet he acts like a know-it-all!"

Su Jie complained, "These kinds of people are the worst. They're unhappy themselves, and they hope that the people around them are unhappy too."

"Don't be angry."

Shen Ruoxuan spoke up for her best friend, saying, "She's only doing this for my own good."

Anyway, I'm putting my words here.

Su Jie said, "If you tell her everything, you two will definitely fall out, and in the end, you won't even be best friends anymore!"

Shen Ruoxuan nodded repeatedly, though it was unclear whether she had listened. "Let's not talk about her anymore, let's play a game."

Su Jie sat down on the edge of the bed. "How can we play with one less person?"

Shen Ruoxuan took out a deck of cards and then grabbed a wine glass. "Have you ever played Dreamy Texas Hold'em?"

Su Jie shook his head. "I've played Texas Hold'em before. What's Dream Texas Hold'em?"

"We each receive one face-down card that only we know, and then we each receive one face-up card that everyone knows."

Shen Ruoxuan explained, "Then these two cards can be combined to form three cards: the same suit is a flush, consecutive suits are a straight, and a pair is a three-of-a-kind!"

After hearing this, Su Jie finally understood what Dream Texas Hold'em was.

He glanced at the stack of beer beside him and asked, "Are you sleeping here tonight?"

"How is this possible?"

"I just want to get revenge on you."

Shen Ruoxuan's eyes darted around. "I drank so much yesterday, I'm definitely going to get my revenge today."

"I'm young too, and I get angry easily. Don't try to take the initiative to offer yourself up."

Su Jie kindly reminded him, "Don't blame me for turning my back on you after we've done our thing; it'll be a waste of time if I sleep with you!"

A surge of scalding, uncontrollable heat suddenly exploded from behind my ears, instantly engulfing my entire cheeks.

The man's words were like a red-hot, blunt knife, piercing straight into Shen Ruoxuan's ears without any beating around the bush.

Every word was raw and scalding, stripping away all polite pretense to reveal a naked, unspoken meaning she had never heard from a man before.

Her breathing quickened slightly, her chest rose and fell gently, and even the exposed skin on her neck and collarbone was quietly tinged with a thin layer of blush.

The girl kept her head down and didn't speak, but her skin was mostly red, like a peach in May.

Su Jie realized he had been a bit rash with his words, and then laughed, "Your skin is so red, are you having another episode?"

Is it another relapse?

What illness?

No problem!

Suppressing her shyness, Shen Ruoxuan gently tidied her hair behind her ear. "I wasn't prepared either. I just wanted to talk to you a little longer and get to know each other better."

She glanced down, her face turning even redder. "You keep saying I don't have a good figure, not curvy enough, not perky enough. I thought I wasn't attractive!"

"You kissed me at the entrance of Jiuzhaigou just now!"

"To be honest, I was a little surprised at the time."

Su Jie spoke frankly, "Since you kissed me, I'll have a proper talk with you!"

Shen Ruoxuan nodded, sat up straight like a well-behaved student, and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Let's not try anything funny today."

Su Jie said directly, "Each of you drinks a can of beer, and then asks the other a question!"

Shen Ruoxuan was a little excited. "Truth or Dare?"

"More or less!"

Su Jie nodded. "You must tell the truth; you can't lie!"

Shen Ruoxuan nodded, "I won't lie!"

"Sizzle—"

Su Jie opened a can of beer and handed it to him, "Should you go first, or should I?"

Shen Ruoxuan grabbed the beer and gulped down half a can in one go. "I'm a girl, I'll go first!"

"Sizzle—"

Su Jie opened another can of beer and took a big gulp.

"ha--"

After downing a can of beer, Shen Ruoxuan felt her face getting hot, but she couldn't wait to ask her first question, "Do you still like your ex-girlfriend?"

"Coo coo coo—"

Su Jie laughed and finished the rest of his beer. "I'm not an idiot, and I'm not a simp. I stopped liking it a long time ago."

Shen Ruoxuan then asked, "Have you slept with your girlfriend?"

Su Jie smiled and shook his head. "That's the second question."

Shen Ruoxuan's face immediately scrunched up. "Huh?"

"Stop yelling 'ah ah ah'."

Su Jie smiled and said, "It's my turn to ask you."

Shen Ruoxuan nodded. "Go ahead and ask."

Su Jie asked, "Would you look down on a boy because he's poor?"

Upon hearing this question, Shen Ruoxuan's eyes darted away for a moment, then she straightened her back and said, "I would look down on a boy for being poor!"

After saying that, she seemed deflated again, "Don't you think I'm materialistic and not a good girl?"

Su Jie smiled and shook his head. "Everyone has the right to choose. I just wanted to see if you were honest."

Feeling like she'd made the right bet, Shen Ruoxuan chuckled and said, "I'm very honest!"

Then she asked, "Would you look down on a girl if she was poor?"

Su Jie handed him a can of beer. "This is the third question you want to ask. Think it over before you ask."

Shen Ruoxuan took the beer, but couldn't drink more than half of it. "I'll drink it later."

Su Jie handed over the bag of beef jerky and dried tofu, saying, "Eat something, don't drink so fast."

After eating a few bites, Shen Ruoxuan finally finished the rest of her beer, then eagerly asked, "Would you mind if a girl was poor?"

"Won't!"

Su Jie shook his head. "I only despise myself for being poor and unable to provide the life the girl I like wants!"

Shen Ruoxuan suddenly didn't find the beef jerky in her hand so delicious. "Am I stupid? Do you look down on me?"

"If I looked down on you, I wouldn't be sitting here drinking with you."

Su Jie smiled and shook his head, handing over the newly opened beer. "Actually, I didn't add those two women on WeChat yesterday."

Shen Ruoxuan blinked. "Didn't you add it?"

Su Jie nodded. "No, I didn't add any!"

Shen Ruoxuan asked, "Why wasn't it added?"

"There's no reason why, I just don't want to add it."

Su Jie shook his head. "Seeing you rushing over with the milk tea in such a hurry was so cute, I just wanted to tease you."

Is it especially cute?

Shen Ruoxuan felt a mix of shyness and joy. "You have no idea how anxious I was! I even wanted to slap them a few times!"

"The men I had my eye on first, they were already sneaking into my house while I was just buying a bubble tea."

"This is infuriating!"

"Ha ha--"

Su Jie shook his head with a smile, "I'm not as bad as you think. I'm indiscriminate in my tastes and I like all kinds of girls."

Shen Ruoxuan stared boldly at the man in front of her, "So, do you like me?"
