Turns out I'm a scheming little cannon fodder

Chapter 23

Shen Ruo was originally sitting on the sofa in the reception room on the first floor. Chu Xiao brought him here and then left.

Knowing that he was going to meet relatives, Shen Ruo just sat here and drank by himself. The fruit wine was sweet and not very high.

But there were too many guests, and some people came in one after another. This is the place where guests are received, so it is normal for them to come in.

Shen Ruo stayed for a while, and two or three demi-humans sitting together looked at him frequently. Shen Ruo noticed that they were looking at him, not only them, but also other demi-human women. It felt like a very strange look.

He felt a little uncomfortable. When he looked over, those people looked back, as if nothing had happened, which made Shen Ruo feel even more strange.

After the wine in the glass was finished, Shen Ruo stood up and left.

The reception room was sealed and very gorgeous, but there were no windows. He drank wine, and the fruit wine was still wine no matter how low the alcohol content was, so he felt a little hot.

Although there is a wall air conditioner to adjust the indoor temperature, Shen Ruo is used to staying in a bright and transparent rural farm, so he feels that this kind of closed room is a bit stuffy.

He remembered that there was a flower room on the second floor, which was transparent from the north to the south. When he was decorating this place yesterday, Chu Xiao took him to see it, so Shen Ruo knew that it could be ventilated there.

So Shen Ruo went up to the second floor, but there were already people in the greenhouse and there wasn't much space inside, so he had to go somewhere else.

There was no one on the terrace, so Shen Ruo went over to blow some air.

The temperature has risen a bit today. After all, it is summer and the wind seems to be carrying heat.

Shen Ruo's mind was filled with things about Chu Xiao. It was fine when Chu Xiao was around and he didn't dare to think too much, but now that he was alone, he couldn't help but think about whether he should tell Chu Xiao or not.

The wind was blowing, and various conversations and laughter came from both the first and second floors. Shen Ruo still couldn't calm down.

The sun had set, the sky had darkened, and twinkling stars began to appear in the distance. Shen Ruo thought of the fireworks that night and Chu Xiao standing under the starlight.

Maybe it was the drinking, or maybe it was the heat of this summer, that made Shen Ruo want to solve this troublesome problem that he had been struggling with for several days as soon as possible so that he could calm down. Otherwise, he would always be so restless and unable to stay anywhere. live.

He has heard someone say that you can't always wait or rely on others for love, you must learn to fight for it yourself.

Now that Chu Xiao has no girlfriend or boyfriend and is still single, he can go for it.

Shen Ruo thought this, but he still couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He even took a few steps back and forth in the small space on the terrace.

Taking a long breath, Shen Ruo calmed himself down, but if he really went to find Chu Xiao, what should he say to him.

He began to feel restless again, and he didn't know what to do.

Shen Ruo frowned and his expression looked a little painful. Then say, do you like him?
