Does He Like Me?

Xin Shanzhu got into a university in the provincial capital.

A fellow townsman found him a job watching over a stall where people fished for plastic fish in the plaza.

Xin Shanzhu saw a handsome curly-haired guy bring different children to fish for plastic fish twice in a row. He couldn't help asking, "Have we met somewhere before?"

The man nodded. "You rode my motorcycle after getting off at the bus station."

That day, the motorcycle had raced along so fast that Xin Shanzhu was dizzy. He hadn't gotten a good look at the driver, who was wearing a helmet.

Later, Xin Shanzhu realized the other guy was even poorer than he was.

One day, he ran into the man squatting on the roadside and dropped ten yuan into the paper cup holding his baijiu. The man asked, "What does this mean?"

Xin Shanzhu said, "If you really don't have anywhere to stay, you can sleep at my place."

The pretty young man had clear eyes, but that didn't stop Bai Junmu from realizing during this time that he wasn't the sharpest. Bai Junmu laughed helplessly. "I'm not poor."

But the other guy thought he was just putting on a brave face. He stuffed another bill into the paper cup. "You shouldn't sleep out on the street, either."

Bai Junmu grabbed Xin Shanzhu by the wrist and asked, "Aren't you afraid I'm a bad guy?"

Xin Shanzhu asked, "Do you like me?"

Only later did Xin Shanzhu find out that Bai Junmu owned seven buildings in the apartment complex he rented in, and was also his landlord's son.

With his face flushed, Xin Shanzhu apologized. "I'm sorry. I thought you liked me."

Bai Junmu asked, "Why did you think that?"

To his surprise, the other guy seemed to suddenly understand. "So it was me who liked you."
