"Back then, I was always alone. Now, I can finally eat oden with you, buy sunflower seeds together, and walk while cracking them to help with digestion."
Qin Xiao spoke tenderly, while Xiao Li, sitting across from him, was already dumbfounded.
"You..."
Qin Xiao smiled, "I’ve been waiting for you to ask why I’m willing to marry you.
Unfortunately, you never asked, leaving no chance to say these things. Now, I have to start the conversation myself."
Xiao Li remained silent because she knew Qin Xiao loved her, even if she didn’t understand why he did?
But as long as she knew he loved her, there was no need to ask further questions.
Qin Xiao reached out and touched Xiao Li’s hair, "Do you rember the scene when we first t?"
Xiao Li blinked; wasn’t their first eting the dinner the night before the wedding? That eting didn’t go so well!
"It was the al we had before our wedding. I wasn’t very polite to you back then!"
Qin Xiao shook his head, smiling, "No, our first eting was even earlier, three sumrs ago.
It was in your ho garden."
Surprised, Xiao Li responded, "That’s impossible. I don’t rember."
As soon as she said it, Xiao Li quickly covered her mouth.
Because she thought Qin Xiao wouldn’t lie to her, and since he rembered their first eting so clearly, it was highly likely he felt sothing for her at that mont.
If that were true, that first eting must have been significant for Qin Xiao, and she said she couldn’t rember it, which might be hurtful!
Qin Xiao laughed and pulled down the hand covering Xiao Li’s mouth, "I know you’ve already forgotten.
Do you rember Dad once said that I was the son-in-law they chose?"
In fact, they chose very early on.
Three years ago, the teacher had invited students over at ho, and I was the first to arrive. When I got there, no one else had co yet, and the teacher asked to take a walk in the garden...
While wandering, I saw you studying the vitality of little bugs."
As Qin Xiao spoke, Xiao Li recalled.
That year, she was preparing for her college entrance exam, studying day and night, and that weekend, she rarely got a day off at ho.
Upon hearing that her mom was inviting students over for dinner, Xiao Li was quite excited, thinking of gaining so experience from the seniors.
But then all the seniors ca, and she was called away by a classmate. Since she didn’t talk much with them at ho, she really didn’t have a deep impression of that event...
"So, you liked from then on?
Love at first sight?
But if you liked since then, why didn’t you show up these past years? Or confess to ..."
As Xiao Li spoke, she stared at Qin Xiao, thinking that if Qin Xiao had confessed to her earlier, maybe they could have been together in the last life, rather than waiting until now...
Qin Xiao chuckled, "Feeling sothing at first sight was true, but saying I was head over heels in love at first sight would be too far-fetched.
After seeing you at ho that one ti, although I didn’t et you again, you kept appearing in my life.
In the last two months of studying with Mom at school, I often heard you video chatting with her; your laughter, your playful ways always echoed in my ears, flashing before my eyes...
Unknowingly, you occupied a place in my heart.
At graduation, I wanted to confess to you, but Mom stopped .
She said she hoped you could focus on your studies during college and asked to wait a few years for you.
They also wanted to observe for a few more years.
Originally, I could have stayed in C City’s dical University to teach, but I thought you’d go to C City’s dical University too.
I was afraid that if I stayed at the school, I’d end up seeking you out, so I went to B City’s dical University instead.
Who knew you’d eventually choose S City’s dical University.
For these three years, I kept my promise not to enter your life prematurely, but when I missed you too much, I would sneak over to see you.
I’d wait at the school gate, watch you and your roommates stroll the food street, and every ti after I returned you to your dorm, I’d co back here and eat everything you’d eaten that day.
That’s why I’m so familiar with this area."
Listening quietly, Xiao Li forgot to crack the sunflower seed in her hand.
At first, it was nothing, but as she listened, Xiao Li’s heart grew heavier.
She never realized Qin Xiao did so much for her; in the last life, she treated him the way she did.
Fortunately, heaven gave her a chance, an opportunity to respond to his feelings.
Xiao Li restrained her tears, smiled, and asked, "So obedient of you; my mom said not to look for , and you really didn’t.
Weren’t you afraid that by waiting quietly for years, with unaware of your existence, I might fall for soone else?"
Qin Xiao sighed with a bitter smile, "What could I do? I had to listen!
My parents were still assessing , and I was on probation. What if I perford poorly and got eliminated?
As for you being with soone else, honestly, I was quite scared of that. So, I’d sneak around every now and then to check for any competition...
Sotis seeing you talk with a male classmate at the school gate, I could almost feel the freezing aura around .
Luckily, all those guys at your school were pretty average, and you didn’t fancy any of them...
That way, at least I didn’t have to feel utterly chilled in my heart..."
Xiao Li couldn’t help but laugh at his words, "Average? Our school’s seniors and juniors aren’t that bad!
Take Senior Ji we just bumped into; he’s a top student and the most handso in his class.
He’s got both looks and brains!
How could he be considered average?"
Xiao Li daringly praised another man in front of Qin Xiao.
It wasn’t until Qin Xiao had her tightly in his embrace that Xiao Li realized she stepped on a landmine and quickly changed her tone, "Of course, those kinds of guys might be considered impressive to others.
But to , they’re average since I have a super-incredibly handso guy with an IQ over 200 like you around.
Others don’t even get a chance to catch my eye..."
Seeing Xiao Li’s flattering little expression, Qin Xiao couldn’t help but let out a low laugh on her shoulder...
Laughing, Qin Xiao released her, switching from an embrace to holding hands, "Let’s walk a bit more together!"
Xiao Li smiled, nodded, "Alright..."
With shoulders touching, they walked, Xiao Li handing the paper bag to Qin Xiao to hold, freeing one hand to crack sunflower seeds, occasionally feeding a couple to Qin Xiao...
When they tired from walking, it was already late into the night as they drove ho.
Xiao Li finished her shower first and, as Qin Xiao showered, stood on the balcony gazing out into the night, unconsciously placing a hand on her belly.
At this mont, she suddenly felt she’d been overthinking things; many things in life are destined to happen, and she didn’t need to fret over how to handle them...
Everything should just follow its natural course!
