"Second brother, if you want to pursue her, I absolutely support you," Xu Nianhua said earnestly. Today was the second ti he had seen Su Xi and the first ti he had directly interacted with her, but the impression Su Xi left on him was still a very good one.
Fei Jiayi kept referring to her cousin, and if Su Xi was really not good, with Fei Jiayi’s straightforward nature, they probably wouldn’t get along.
"By the way, you have a rival," Xu Nianhua suddenly exclaid. "Do you rember Wa Lei we t at the hot pot restaurant? He likes Su Xi. If you really want to pursue Su Xi, you’ll have to use your sincerity to move her."
Xu Nian’an: "..."
When had he ever wanted to pursue Su Xi?
To him, his feelings for Su Xi were purely admiration for beauty. Standing in front of her, he felt inferior. What right did he, a man with nothing, have to harm that girl?
However?
Xu Nian’an looked at Xu Nianhua seriously. With the understanding she displayed, could it be that she and Yicheng...
"Little sister, are you hiding sothing from ?" Xu Nian’an abruptly asked.
Xu Nianhua was pondering how to help her second brother win his love when she was caught off guard by his question. She paused, her face full of confusion. "Second brother, what am I hiding from you?"
"What do you think?" Xu Nian’an looked as if he understood everything.
Xu Nianhua was even more bewildered.
Xu Nian’an reminded her, "Little sister, if you have soone you like, you can tell second brother."
Soone she liked?
In Xu Nianhua’s mind flashed the image of the ti she fell from the persimmon tree; she saw a pair of eyes, lonely but indifferent to everything. Then, Pei Yicheng’s deep and affectionate gaze replaced it.
"No."
Xu Nianhua replied quickly.
"Really?" Xu Nian’an was sowhat incredulous.
"Of course it’s true. Second brother, why would I lie to you?" Xu Nianhua’s eyes were clear. Right now, she just wanted to achieve her small goals and wishes, without any thoughts of dating.
"If there is, little sister, you must tell second brother," Xu Nian’an reminded her again.
Xu Nianhua nodded affirmatively, then imdiately countered, "If second brother has soone he likes, he also has to tell ."
Xu Nian’an: "..."
Hadn’t she just guessed it herself? Yet she’s asking?
...
That night, as soon as Xu Nianhua closed her eyes, she rembered the night she rejected Amos, and Pei Yicheng’s unfinished words. His affectionate eyes, as if seared into her mind, kept resurfacing.
She tossed and turned, finally managing to fall asleep. When she woke up, it was already six o’clock in the morning.
Xu Nianhua let out a big yawn, still half asleep. Once awake, she couldn’t stay in bed any longer. She got dressed and tidied up her luggage. She had just gone to the kitchen, intending to make breakfast for everyone to take on the road, but as soon as she entered the kitchen, she stopped in her tracks.
Warm sunlight poured through the window into the kitchen. Amid the rising steam, Pei Yicheng was stirring sothing with a spoon. The misty air seed to add a filter over his face.
"You’re up so early?" Pei Yicheng turned his head to see Xu Nianhua standing there in a daze. He ladled a bowl of brown sugar black rice porridge from a pot and said, "I made this porridge especially for you. Try it."
"When did you get up?" Xu Nianhua, slling the aroma of the porridge, felt her stomach ’gurgle’ with hunger.
Xu Nianhua’s face turned red. Pei Yicheng’s lips curled up slightly, pretending not to hear, as he handed her the bowl of porridge and said, "Eat it while it’s hot."
