Yan Ting was slightly stunned, suddenly recalling an important detail—Tong Keke’s age.
Ever since Tong Keke was just a little girl, Yan Ting had been good friends with Gu Qianxi for years. During this ti, he had watched Tong Keke grow, from wearing her hair in ponytails to blossoming into the radiant young woman she was now.
"Ahem... Qianxi, to be honest, you might just have to wait a few more years. Tong Keke is still a bit too young!" Yan Ting felt his earlier words were a bit harsh and quickly corrected himself.
Gu Qianxi glared at him, utterly frustrated: "You know this is my sore spot, yet you keep bringing it up! I’m seriously considering whether I should end our friendship right now."
Seeing his friend so flustered and furious, Yan Ting hurriedly tried to console him: "Alright, I didn’t think it through from your perspective. I care about you too much, that’s all."
"To make up for the emotional trauma I’m suffering right now, you must share one of your embarrassing stories with ," Gu Qianxi imdiately took advantage of the mont.
"? Do you really think I have any embarrassing stories worth sharing?" Yan Ting said, sounding rather smug.
"Don’t pretend you’re flawless. You can’t convince that your feelings for Lin Banxia were truly love at first sight. Spill it—you had to fall for her at so specific mont, right?" Having grown up together, Gu Qianxi was sharp enough to notice the hidden truth.
As soon as he asked, Yan Ting’s handso face flushed a little.
"What’s the point of bringing this up?" Yan Ting clearly didn’t want to share this particular secret.
Gu Qianxi tilted his head, looking slightly mischievous: "I rember sothing. Near the end of high school, you got in a car accident. After you recovered, I went to the hospital to visit you, and you told you had fallen for a girl."
"Did I? I don’t rember that," Yan Ting started fidgeting nervously.
"You absolutely did. Don’t think you can fool . With your freakishly strong mory that rembers every detail, I’m sure you recall it perfectly. Now tell —was that girl Lin Banxia?" Gu Qianxi pressed him.
Yan Ting still tried to deny it: "I really don’t rember. Maybe I said sothing like that, but it was ten years ago. How could I recall sothing so clearly from back then?"
"You also said the girl lived in a very beautiful garden. Doesn’t Lin Banxia live in the pear garden? Yan Ting, ten years ago, how old was Lin Banxia?" Gu Qianxi grinned wickedly.
Yan Ting felt like kicking him—this friend of his had truly dragged out one of his most embarrassing stories.
But Gu Qianxi wasn’t satisfied yet and kept teasing: "I’m looking at Lin Banxia now, and she’s still so young. Even if she’s twenty-two now, ten years ago she was just twelve."
"Alright, fine! I admit it. Yes, the girl I liked was her. This only proves that we both have the sa taste—we’re into early romance, okay?" Yan Ting was utterly speechless with his friend.
Gu Qianxi felt slightly better seeing him so embarrassed: "Indeed, we share similar interests. That’s why we’re such good friends, right? Love knows no age boundaries; it’s all about whether that love can last a lifeti. Whether it’s your love for Lin Banxia or my love for Keke, at least we’re loving wholeheartedly. I don’t think there’s anything to be ashad of."
Yan Ting’s thin lips curved into a smile as he agreed: "You’re absolutely right. We approach love sincerely. I’m one hundred percent serious about Banxia. For the rest of my life, I truly only want to marry her."
" too!" Gu Qianxi lowered his gaze, his tone tinged with bitterness: "I only want to take care of Keke. I don’t dare imagine what life would be like without her by my side."
