The so-called test by Xie Jiale, in Han Shaojing’s eyes, was utterly laughable.
For example, running.
Xie Jiale said this would test Han Shaojing’s endurance and stamina.
Han Shaojing understood endurance well, but when it ca to stamina...
Ahem, forgive his impure thoughts.
For example, playing video gas.
Xie Jiale said this tested Han Shaojing’s sense of family responsibility and mission.
In response, Xie Jiale moved all his gaming equipnt to the Han Family, and then the two n played League of Legends on the widescreen TV for an entire day.
For example, going to bars.
Xie Jiale said this tested Han Shaojing’s self-control and resistance to temptation.
Yet Xie Jiale had no idea that Han Shaojing was soone accustod to the nightlife; back when he was bar-hopping and having fun, Xie Jiale was still sowhere sucking on lollipops!
As for now, considering he’s already thirty-three, is there any kind of situation he hasn’t seen, any sort of temptation he hasn’t faced? So passing Xie Jiale’s test wasn’t a problem...
...
...
For nearly three full days, Han Shaojing put his work aside to go completely wild with his future brother-in-law.
Then, Xie Xin ca back.
That day, Xie Jiale voluntarily called Xie Xin, saying he would pick her up; otherwise, with Xie Xin’s independence, she would definitely have taken a taxi back herself.
Then, at the last minute, Xie Xin bailed and passed the good fortune of picking up the beauty to Han Shaojing, which led to their chance eting at the airport.
After that, taking her out for dinner and to et friends was just a guise, a way to spend more ti getting to know her. Xie Jiale’s advice was: do not linger for long!
So, after dinner, he drove her back.
At the ti, Han Shaojing wondered why he was listening to a kid’s words?
He raised his lips into a smile, perhaps truly feeling he had aged; having sought but failed twice before had planted a seed of fear in his heart.
Afraid, very afraid that once again, he’d carelessly push himself into hell.
He longed to love soone.
Yet, he was also afraid of getting hurt.
Perhaps because he no longer knew how to pursue soone, didn’t know how to capture a woman’s heart, he felt at a loss facing love.
And this young man Xie Jiale, at twenty-four, had such a vibrant age and intuition for the one Xie Xin knew best, so he trusted him.
He knew Xie Xin was going on a blind date, but Xie Jiale only inford him of her date with the guy, not the ti, as it was arranged last minute between both parties.
So by the ti he arrived, the date had ended.
The man was clearly satisfied with Xie Xin, protecting her; he could tell from a man’s intuition.
He ca out in a dignified manner, greeted her indifferently. Xie Jiale’s original advice was: pull her over and declare ownership without a word!
However, he changed his mind last minute, rely greeting her softly and leaving.
Why change his mind?
Because he saw a trace of... helplessness in her eyes.
Yes, helplessness, he believed Xie Xin wasn’t entirely indifferent towards him; he believed this chance encounter would make her realize sothing.
But the developnts over the next few days really made him anxious.
Because Xie Xin truly began to interact with this guy nad Bi Lang, going out for als, strolling, and watching movies together.
He grew a bit anxious, a little self-doubt creeping in.
And that’s when his future brother-in-law stirred up trouble again.
Xie Jiale secretly found Bi Lang’s phone number from his mother’s phone and gave it to him; he called Bi Lang to arrange a eting.
This guy nad Bi Lang, how to put it, Han Shaojing thought he was quite a good man; if Xie Xin wasn’t the woman who moved his heart, he would consider Bi Lang and her a great match.
But unfortunately, he was already moved.
He said, "I’m Han Shaojing!"
Bi Lang extended his hand, a smile on his lips, saying, "Mr. Han, I’ve heard so much about you!"
Han Shaojing smiled a bit, "I don’t deserve such praise."
That day, he asked Bi Lang, "Do you like Xie Xin?"
Bi Lang chuckled, countering, "If I said I do, would you let her go?"
Han Shaojing paused, then calmly said, "You and I both know, the choice is hers, not yours. If she chooses you, then I certainly won’t linger."
Yes, not lingering, as long as he hasn’t fallen too deep yet.
