"You say no one is good enough for Nianhua, but do you think Nianhua would be interested in them?" Pei Yicheng countered without answering.
Pei Yining thought seriously for a mont. Not to ntion her forr high school classmates, but even within Beining University, many openly and secretly sought Nianhua’s affection. So had even confessed their feelings, yet Nianhua had always disregarded them, never taking them to heart. Thinking this through, it seed her brother was right.
Pei Yicheng cleared his throat, "You should focus on your studies. See how diligent Nianhua is? Don’t keep bothering her, understand?"
"Oh," said Pei Yining, disheartened by the idea of not being able to see Xu Nianhua every day, like an eggplant hit by frost. "Alright, I will help grandpa tomorrow."
As soon as Pei Yining left, the room suddenly beca quiet. Pei Yicheng, who was busy sorting herbal dicines, stopped abruptly.
He hadn’t said a single false word when he replied to Pei Yining just now.
Xu Nianhua would never be interested in them, but there was another half of the sentence he hadn’t said: he felt as if Xu Nianhua had no thoughts about romance at all.
Was he not excellent enough?
Thinking this, Pei Yicheng decided to make himself even more outstanding. He kept himself busy once again. Xiyue Hotel had won the bid, and there were many matters to handle. A day later, Pei Yicheng returned to Ningbei, deliberately not saying goodbye to Xu Nianhua, fearing she might think he ca back just for them.
Yet, the next day, Xu Nianhua accidentally learned about it from Xu Nianji.
"Brother Cheng is as busy as a spinning top. I saw him sitting in the car, still looking at blueprints," said Xu Nianji, who was the sa age as Pei Yicheng, but Pei Yicheng was far ahead of him.
"Xiyue Hotel is indeed Brother Cheng’s design. It’s about to be constructed; no wonder he was looking at the blueprints in the car," said Xu Nianhua. If she still didn’t realize that Pei Yicheng ca back just for them, then she would be a fool.
Sigh.
Xu Nianhua sighed deeply.
Xu Nianan ca to know of this and purposely found a secluded spot to ask quietly, "Little sister, Brother Cheng stayed a few extra days in the county, afraid we would worry that he ca back just for you. When he left, he didn’t even tell us, just so we wouldn’t feel burdened. Brother Cheng... really did put his heart into it."
Xu Nianhua gave him a look and did not respond.
Xu Nian’an continued, "Little sister, what are you thinking?"
"Didn’t you say to focus on my studies and not dwell on romantic affairs?" Xu Nianhua countered without answering.
Xu Nian’an was at a loss for words and said sowhat awkwardly, "Little sister, I’m just concerned about you, asking about your situation."
"You’d be better off figuring out how to pursue Su Xi," Xu Nianhua shot back. "I think Su Xi has a good temperant and is attractive. Although I haven’t interacted with her much, her gaze is gentle yet serene when she looks at people. Sotis she seems like a child who hasn’t grown up. She won’t look down on our family."
"Little sister, the master told to morize dical texts," said Xu Nian’an as he fled.
"Big brother, can’t you be a bit more ambitious?"
Xu Nianhua yelled after his retreating figure, murmuring to herself, "Our family won’t always be this poor. Big brother will definitely be an excellent doctor in the future. If he really likes her, why shouldn’t he pursue her?"
It was the first ti she had seen her brother ntion a girl and be so... shy.
It was also the first ti she saw that when her brother looked at a girl, there was a light in his eyes.
