Chapter 640: Chapter 640: Marriage Depends on Fate Chapter 640: Chapter 640: Marriage Depends on Fate Luo Qiao had just co out of the kitchen when she heard Xiao Ya’s voice and almost burst out laughing, “Xiao Ya, this is my Second Brother Luo Xuyuan, isn’t he handso?”
Xiao Ya looked up at Luo Xuyuan again and nodded, “Mhm, quite handso.”
Luo Qiao was inwardly cracking up, thinking that with her brother’s temperant, if he and Xiao Ya hit it off, the days to co would definitely be set. Xiao Ya’s warmth would surely lt this iceberg.
She turned to introduce them, “This is Xiao Ya, my high school classmate and good friend.”
However, Luo Qiao also knew that matters of marriage depended on fate, so she wouldn’t force her personal wishes on her brother and friend. After all, Xiao Ya had applied to schools in Capital City, so there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Xiao Ya wheeled her bike into the courtyard and handed over the things she brought to Luo Qiao, “Your courtyard is really quite elegant.”
There were many flowers planted along the front yard wall, blooming magnificently this season. Under the ginkgo tree in the courtyard, there were rocking chairs and a table with freshly brewed tea laid out. Standing in the yard, one could sll the tea aroma.
Xiao Ya, who was quite at ease, strolled around the yard and said, “Qiaoqiao, you really know how to enjoy life.”
Then she sat down on the rocking chair under the ginkgo tree.
Luo Qiao laughed, “Is sitting on a rocking chair considered knowing how to enjoy life?”
Xiao Ya looked up at the sky and said, “It’s not just about a rocking chair. Imagine sitting under this ginkgo tree with a pot of tea, reading a book, and slling the fragrance of the flowers all around. How pleasant that is.”
Then she asked another question, “Did you take care of the vegetable garden in the back yard all by yourself?”
Luo Qiao laughed, “Yeah, my vegetable plot may not look big, but there’s a variety of stuff planted. Let get my second brother to pick a waterlon for you later, I guarantee you’ll like it.”
Luo Xuyuan was sitting on the other side of the ginkgo tree, conveniently reading a book. Upon hearing his sister call his na, he looked up and over.
Luo Qiao laughed, “Second Brother, I’ve invited my classmate for dinner. Could you go to the back yard later and put a waterlon in the well to chill it?”
Luo Qiao and Xiao Ya went to the kitchen together, where they washed the lons they had picked from the back yard earlier and offered them to Xiao Ya to try.
The two chatted and laughed in the kitchen, while Luo Xuyuan went back to sit under the ginkgo tree after chilling the waterlon, listening to the intermittent laughter from the kitchen. He found his sister’s friend quite nice—a good presence that made his sister more lively.”
At lunch, Xiao Ya was a bit shy at first, but seeing Luo Xuyuan helping Luo Qiao with her dishes, she thought Second Brother Luo seed cold on the outside but attentive at heart, and actually quite likable.
After the al, Xiao Ya felt very satisfied, “Qiaoqiao, your cooking is too delicious, I wish I could eat it all the ti.”
Luo Qiao replied with a light smile, “Once you get into a university in Capital City, you can often visit my place, and I’ll cook for you.”
Xiao Ya rested her head on Luo Qiao’s shoulder and said, “Qiaoqiao, you’re really too good to . I’ll bring my own ingredients next ti and co over. Don’t find botherso, okay?”
Xiao Ya didn’t know that Luo Qiao was already planning to ‘lure’ her in.
After dinner, Luo Qiao cut open the chilled waterlon. Xiao Ya took a bite and gave a thumbs up, “Qiaoqiao, the lons you grow are incredibly delicious, way better than the ones bought from outside.”
“If you like it, eat more. When you leave, take two with you to let your family try.”
“How can I accept that? Eating here and taking things with , I’m afraid you won’t want to have over next ti.”
“Stop it, it’s not such a precious thing. Anyway, I’ll be gone in a few days, and soone else would have eaten it.”
Thinking it made sense, Xiao Ya laughed, “Alright, then I’ll shalessly take them. Thank you, Qiaoqiao.”
But she sighed in the next breath, “Qiaoqiao, I’m going to miss you.”
Luo Qiao smiled, “Co on, we’ll et again in Capital City in a few days.”
Xiao Ya said, “I hope I make it.”
Xiao Ya had applied to the University of Political Science and Law, and by her estimates, her scores should be fine. Luo Qiao said, “If it’s as you’ve estimated, there’s no need to worry.”
Xiao Ya laughed, “You’re right, I was personally tutored by you, so I can’t let you down.”
In the late afternoon sun, Xiao Ya finally prepared to leave. Luo Qiao gave her two large waterlons and several cantaloupes to take with her. Since she had her bicycle, she didn’t need to carry them herself.
Xiao Ya felt a little embarrassed taking so many things in front of Luo Qiao’s brother, but for such delicious lons, she was willing to brave it.
