The princess arrives and the prosperous Tang Dynasty begins

Chapter 161 Bestie's Advice

The sun shines through the thin clouds and falls on the streets and alleys of the city, bringing a bit of laziness and comfort to this bustling city. In a cozy cafe, Lin Xiao sits by the window, her eyes wandering, as if she is worried.

Today, she asked her besties out to talk about her complicated and subtle feelings for Su Yang. Lin Xiao gently stirred the coffee in front of her. The aroma of the coffee filled the air, but it couldn't dispel the sadness in her heart.

The girlfriends arrived one after another, and as soon as they sat down, they keenly noticed that something was wrong with Lin Xiao.

"Xiao, what's wrong? You look distracted." Xiaomei, the straightforward best friend, asked first.

Lin Xiao sighed softly and said slowly: "I... I have a very special feeling towards Su Yang recently."

"Su Yang? Is that the Su Yang who is always with you?" Xiaoya, the thoughtful best friend, asked.

Lin Xiao nodded, a look of confusion in his eyes: "I can't really explain it. When I'm with him, I feel very happy and at ease. But, I often have wild thoughts because of his words or actions."

The girlfriends looked at each other, and then focused their attention on Lin Xiao.

"Xiao, do you think this is love?" Xiaomei blinked her big eyes, eager to know the answer.

Lin Xiao shook his head, then nodded: "I don't know, I really don't know. Sometimes I think this is just the sublimation of friendship, but sometimes, I expect more."

"What about Su Yang towards you? Does he show any special care or love?" Xiaoya analyzed seriously.

Lin Xiao frowned and tried to recall: "He was very good to me. He would be there for me when I was in trouble, remember what I liked, and accompany me to do what I wanted to do. However, he never expressed anything clearly."

The girlfriends fell into deep thought. After a moment, Xiaomei broke the silence: "Xiao, I think you should take the initiative to test his feelings. For example, ask him to watch a romantic movie and see his reaction."

"No, no, this is too risky. What if Su Yang doesn't mean that? It will be so awkward to get along with him in the future." Xiaoya quickly objected.

"Why don't you try to ignore him for a while and see if he will get anxious and come to you on his own initiative." Another best friend, Xiaohui, offered her own idea.

Lin Xiao listened to her friends' advice and felt even more conflicted: "Ignore him? I'm afraid this will hurt our relationship."

"Oh, Xiao, you just care about him too much, that's why you are so hesitant." Xiaomei said anxiously.

Xiaoya gently held Lin Xiao's hand and said softly: "Xiao, actually you can try to calm down first and think carefully about whether your feelings for Su Yang are based on dependence or true love. After all, there is a big difference between love and friendship."

Lin Xiao was silent, she fell into deep thought. She recalled every moment she had spent with Su Yang, the days when they laughed and cried together. They strolled in the park together, tasted street food together, and talked about their dreams together late at night. Every moment was so beautiful that she could not forget it.

"Maybe, I should really think about it carefully." Lin Xiao murmured to himself.

Her girlfriends looked at her with concern in their eyes.

"Xiao, no matter what decision you make, we will support you." Xiaohui said firmly.

Lin Xiao looked at her girlfriends gratefully: "Thank you, it's great to have you."

In the following time, her besties continued to give Lin Xiao advice. Some suggested that she confess her feelings to Su Yang directly and bravely pursue her own happiness; others thought that she should ask Su Yang's friends about his thoughts. Lin Xiao listened carefully and gradually had some direction in her mind.

Before I knew it, the sun had set and the number of people in the cafe gradually decreased.

"Okay, Xiao, don't think too much and just let things take their course. Maybe the answer will appear inadvertently." Xiaomei patted Lin Xiao's shoulder.

Lin Xiao nodded, said goodbye to her besties, and walked home alone. The afterglow of the setting sun stretched her figure very long. Although her heart was still full of confusion, she also became more determined. She knew that no matter what the future held, she had to face her feelings bravely.

Back home, Lin Xiao lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She thought of the suggestions from her besties, each of which seemed to make sense, but also made her feel uneasy. She didn't know how to choose, and didn't know which way would not destroy the relationship between her and Su Yang, but also make them clear about each other's feelings.

In the midst of the struggle, Lin Xiao gradually fell asleep. In the dream, she and Su Yang held hands and walked in a beautiful sea of ​​flowers. The sun shone warmly on them. Everything was so beautiful. However, when she woke up, she found that it was just a dream, and she couldn't help feeling disappointed.

In the following days, Lin Xiao tried to follow the advice of her besties. She asked Su Yang to watch a romantic movie. After the movie, she secretly observed Su Yang's expression, but found that he was just discussing the plot of the movie with her as usual, and there was no special reaction.

She also tried to ignore Su Yang, deliberately not replying to his messages and not answering his calls. However, after a few days, she couldn't help it anymore, worried that she would really lose Su Yang.

During this series of attempts, Lin Xiao's mood was like a roller coaster, up and down. She became more and more confused and didn't know what to do.

On the other hand, Su Yang also noticed something strange about Lin Xiao. He didn't understand why Lin Xiao was sometimes enthusiastic and sometimes indifferent, which made him feel a little puzzled.

Finally, on a quiet night, Su Yang decided to have a good talk with Lin Xiao. When he saw Lin Xiao's tangled eyes, his heart was full of doubts.

"Lin Xiao, what's wrong with you recently? It seems like you are always worried about something." Su Yang asked straight to the point.

Lin Xiao lowered her head and bit her lip, not knowing how to answer.

Su Yang gently lifted her chin and asked her to look directly into his eyes: "Lin Xiao, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Don't keep it in your heart."

Lin Xiao took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Su Yang, I don't know what kind of feelings I have for you."

Su Yang was stunned at first, then a smile appeared on his face: "Lin Xiao, I have actually been thinking about this question. I found that I can't live without you. I think I like you."

Lin Xiao heard this, and a light of surprise instantly appeared in his eyes: "Really?"

Su Yang nodded and hugged Lin Xiao into his arms: "Really, silly."

At that moment, Lin Xiao's heart finally settled down, and she knew that she had finally found the answer. And all of this was inseparable from the advice and support of her besties.
