Shen Mo still harbored some resentment about what happened during the meal earlier.
Saying she's a germaphobe is clearly a dig at her; Shen Mo isn't one to suffer in silence.
Since she felt that her chances were slim, she would definitely not swallow her anger and would find a way to retaliate.
"Yes." Lin Xiaoxiao smiled, not feeling offended at all, nor did she feel that there was anything wrong with answering the other party's question.
Tang Xue turned her head to look at Lin Xiaoxiao, her shock and disbelief undisguised.
She always thought Lin Xiaoxiao's sexual orientation was normal, so she chose to hide it after realizing that she liked Lin Xiaoxiao.
She dared not confess her feelings or reveal her affection, for fear that her actions would frighten Lin Xiaoxiao and push her away from her.
But what did she hear now? Lin Xiaoxiao admitted that she liked girls, which meant that she also had a chance!
Even without tilting her head to look, Lin Xiaoxiao could still sense Tang Xue's incredulous expression.
She clenched her fists, a hint of embarrassment flashing in her eyes. She didn't dare turn to look at Tang Xue, afraid that she would see disgust in the other's eyes.
Chen Mo was somewhat surprised by Tang Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao's reactions. She saw the shock and disbelief in Tang Xue's eyes, as well as the unease and panic in Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes.
Things seemed a little different from what she had imagined. Shen Mo narrowed her eyes. She had genuinely believed that Tang Xue was Lin Xiaoxiao's lover.
But now it seems that things are completely different from what she thought. Lin Xiaoxiao's reaction confirms that when she said she liked someone, she was indeed referring to romantic love.
Tang Xue seemed to have never considered that Lin Xiaoxiao would like women, but no matter what kind, it made Shen Mo happy.

Chapter 108
===================
"It's getting late, everyone should get some rest." After saying this, Tang Xue took Lin Xiaoxiao's hand and stood up.
Lin Xiaoxiao obediently followed behind Tang Xue without any resistance.
Her mind was in complete turmoil, and Tang Xue's slightly grave expression only amplified her inner unease.
She didn't know what kind of questions Tang Xue would ask her. Would she ask if she had any improper thoughts about her? Or would she ask why she was a lesbian?
[I feel like something's off about Miss Tang Xue's expression!]
No, no, no, you're definitely overthinking it.
[Friend upstairs, stop fooling yourself. Tang Xue's expression is indeed a bit strange.]
[Oh my god, is my ship going to end badly?! ...
【!!!!! The person upstairs is talking nonsense. Our Lin Xue CP has always been real, how could it possibly end tragically?】
[Exactly! President Lin previously admitted that he liked Miss Tang Xue, and later also admitted that he is a lesbian. Doesn't that indirectly admit that he likes Tang Xue? Therefore, the CP I'm shipping must be real.]
But how do you explain Tang Xue's expression? That serious look doesn't seem like she's happy at all.
Could it be that Tang Xue is straight? She always thought Lin Xiaoxiao considered her a good friend, so it's no wonder her expression is so serious now that she knows her best friend has such feelings for her.
Indeed, if one day my best friend told me she liked me, I probably wouldn't be surprised; I'd be shocked. Just to clarify, I have no prejudice against homosexuals, so please don't attack me.
No, no, no, this can't be true. How could my favorite couple possibly end up tragic? This is absolutely impossible.
Tang Xue's expression was indeed very serious, but it was completely different from what the audience had guessed.
She was afraid that if she relaxed, her expression would become somewhat uncontrollable.
Although she studied acting, she has extremely strong facial expression control.
But what Lin Xiaoxiao had just admitted really made Tang Xue's emotions very unstable. She pursed her lips and didn't dare to say a word.
She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would lose control of the smile on her lips; she was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would immediately reveal her true thoughts.
Lin Xiaoxiao followed Tang Xue nervously up the stairs. As they got closer to the room, Lin Xiaoxiao's unease was amplified to the extreme.
Her lips were tightly pursed, her facial features were tense, and the hand that Tang Xue was holding was trembling slightly uncontrollably.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't dare to open her mouth. She stared intently at Tang Xue's back, her mind churning with all sorts of chaotic thoughts.
She didn't know what she could say, or what she should say in the moment.
Could she deny that she had no improper thoughts about Tang Xue? To be honest, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't do it, after all, she had already admitted that she liked Tang Xue.
Tang Xue noticed Lin Xiaoxiao's slight trembling. She bit her lip but didn't stop; instead, she quickened her pace.
As she pushed open the door and closed it, Tang Xue quickly reached out and turned off the microphone on her collar.
She braced herself against the door with one hand, enveloping Lin Xiaoxiao in her arms, and reached for Lin Xiaoxiao's collar with the other hand to turn off the microphone on her collar.
[It's off!!!]
No! Why did you turn off your mic?!
[I'm so nervous right now, what if those two have a falling out on the show?!??]
[Friend upstairs, please, please don't say such terrible things, okay? I'm about to cry. This is really a terrible thing for a CP fan who lives in a sugar pot every day.]
I've reached the point where I can't live without a little sugar every day. If those two really suffer, I'll feel like my life has lost its meaning.
Don't be so pessimistic about the outcome; things might not be as serious as we imagine.
[That's right, that's right, our Lin Xue couple will definitely not have a tragic ending.]
While everyone waited with trepidation and unease, Lin Xiaoxiao's inner panic was almost solidifying.
She glanced at the microphone on her collar, then at the microphone on Tang Xue's collar, and finally focused her gaze on Tang Xue's face. But the next second, she quickly looked away, her gaze shifting downwards to her toes.
"You like me?"
When Tang Xue spoke, her voice lacked its usual gentleness and was somewhat low, as if she was forcibly suppressing something.
Lin Xiaoxiao froze, her hands pressed tightly against the door. At that moment, she wished she had the ability to pass through walls so she could disappear instantly.
She took a deep breath and forced herself to make a soft sound from her throat, "Mmm."
She had already admitted to this before, and at this point, there was no room for denial.
"Is it that kind of liking?"
Tang Xue lowered her body, and the suppressed emotions deep in her eyes became even more clearly visible.
If Lin Xiaoxiao looked up at this moment, she would be able to see the deep affection in Tang Xue's eyes and the desire that was being suppressed.
Unfortunately, Lin Xiaoxiao's mind is now filled with thoughts of how Tang Xue will view her, and whether she will start to hate her because of her feelings for Tang Xue.
Will their relationship be completely broken because of this incident?
Will she never be able to stay by Tang Xue's side like this again? Will they never be able to have such close contact again?
The pain in her chest made Lin Xiaoxiao frown, and she resisted the urge to press on her chest.
Taking a deep breath, a desolate smile appeared on her lips. She opened her mouth, but found her throat tightening. She closed her eyes and spoke.
"I like you, the kind of liking between a man and a woman. I like you, the kind of liking that makes me want to kiss you and hug you. I like you, the kind of liking that makes me want to possess you. I like you, the kind of liking that makes me want you to belong only to me."
With each word Lin Xiaoxiao spoke, Tang Xue's heart rate increased. By the time Lin Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Tang Xue felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her mouth.
Tang Xue swallowed hard, her hand clenched into a fist at her side, her nails digging into her palm. She was enveloped in immense joy and happiness.
But along with that came nervousness. Tang Xue was extremely nervous. She moved her lips, wanting to tell Lin Xiaoxiao that she liked her too.
She wanted to tell Lin Xiaoxiao that her feelings for her were exactly the same as Lin Xiaoxiao's feelings for her.
Just like her, I wanted to kiss her, touch her, and possess her!
But before Tang Xue could speak, she heard Lin Xiaoxiao's choked voice in her ear.
"I'm sorry, could you please not hate me? Could you please not stay away from me? I'm sorry, I didn't want things to be like this either."
But by the time I realized it, I had already fallen for you. I couldn't control myself and change my feelings for you.
I know that my feelings for you will make you feel very awkward. I have been afraid to speak up because I am afraid that you will hate me and despise me because of my feelings.
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, but I really couldn't control my heart. I'm so sorry.
Lin Xiaoxiao reached out and grabbed Tang Xue's clothes. Her fingers trembled slightly, and large tears fell down, landing on Tang Xue's shoes.
Her voice was desperate and pleading, "Please, don't hate me."
Tang Xue's heart skipped a beat, her brow furrowed slightly, and the large teardrops seemed to hit her heart, their scalding heat like a branding iron, causing her to tremble involuntarily.
"Little one".
Tang Xue's voice was a little hoarse. She reached out and lifted Lin Xiaoxiao's face, tenderly wiping away the tears on Lin Xiaoxiao's face, and said softly, "How could I possibly hate you?"
"Knowing that I have these feelings for you, you don't hate me?" Lin Xiaoxiao sniffed, her sadness clearly visible on her face, and the fragility in her eyes seemed as if it could shatter at any moment.
Tang Xue touched the corner of Lin Xiaoxiao's eye, "Do you know that I have the same feelings for you?"
"What?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked blank, not understanding what Tang Xue meant.
"I said, I like you too." Tang Xue looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with eyes full of tender affection.
A smile played on her lips, and the affection and love in her eyes could finally be fully revealed to the person she loved.
"You like me?" Lin Xiaoxiao stared in astonishment into Tang Xue's eyes, feeling a sense of unreality as she looked at the tender affection spreading within them.
Tang Xue said she liked him too, although she didn't specify what kind of liking it was, but the tenderness and affection in her eyes were enough to explain it.
"Yes." Tang Xue lowered her eyes slightly. "I like you, I want to touch you, I want to kiss you, I want to possess you."
Her gaze fell on Lin Xiaoxiao's lips, the lips she had longed for. She placed her thumb on Lin Xiaoxiao's lips, her eyes filled with desire.
"Do you know how long I've waited for this day?" She leaned down, her warm breath brushing against Lin Xiaoxiao's face.
The warm sensation traveled from her lips to her mind. Lin Xiaoxiao's pupils dilated as she looked at Tang Xue's tightly closed eyes. Her nose tingled, and she gently closed her own eyes.
