Song Xiwei felt a tightness in her chest.

Judging from Aoqian's reaction, he definitely has someone he likes.

But why was he so open and honest when he answered me, and why did he smile so warmly?

Something's not right; he just doesn't want to tell her.

"Young Master always said he trusted me and even treated me like family. I never expected that he would have someone he liked but wouldn't even tell me. If I were in your shoes, I wonder how Young Master would feel if I had someone I liked in the future and kept it a secret from him!"

Song Xiwei put down her chopsticks; she had no appetite at all.

Ao Qian sighed, "Do you really need to know?"

Song Xiwei said angrily, "If you don't want to say, you don't have to. I don't necessarily need to know. It's just that I'm a person who puts myself in others' shoes. If you keep it from me today, then if I keep it from you in the future, please don't hold it against me. We'll be even."

"You... never mind, I do have someone I like, but he doesn't like me back yet," Aoqian admitted.

Song Xiwei felt a pang of sadness in her heart. "Is that person pretty?" Song Xiwei's subconscious thought was, "Is that person prettier than me?"

But she was glad she didn't say that, otherwise it would have been too strange.

She only did it because Aoqian, as her partner, shouldn't have kept things from her.

As long as he tells me the truth, that's enough.

As for the person Aoqian likes, and the relationship between that person she can't have and Aoqian, she shouldn't have too many emotions about it.

"He's incredibly handsome, the most handsome person I've ever seen." Aoqian gazed intently at Song Xiwei, his voice gradually softening.

Song Xiwei suddenly slammed her hand on the table, not even realizing how angry she was. "You used to say I was the most beautiful person you'd ever seen! Ha, sure enough, men's words are deceitful. I never thought Shaojun would learn to say one thing to one person and another to another! I've learned my lesson today."

Aoqian was startled by Song Xiwei's angry reaction of slamming the table.

It took him a long time to come to his senses. He reached out to grab Song Xiwei's hand, but she shook him off.

“Let me see…” Ao Qian reached out to Song Xiwei again.

Song Xiwei seemed to be covered in thorns, "What are you looking at!"

"Doesn't your hand hurt?" Aoqian's voice was full of heartache.

Song Xi was slightly taken aback. What was Ao Qian asking?

While she was still in a daze, Aoqian had already taken her hand in his, his palm turning red.

Aoqian gently blew on her palm, "Whisper, and it won't hurt anymore."

Song Xiwei: "..." Her face flushed bright red.

Aoqian committed another foul.

"Let go..." She told Aoqian to let go, but Aoqian didn't let go, and she didn't forcibly pull her hand away either.

Aoqian kept playing the flute, her palms trembling and her heart trembling along with it.

"Do you like her that much?" Song Xi asked with a hint of sourness.

Aoqian looked up at her in surprise.

Seeing Song Xi's slightly furrowed brows and awkward expression.

"I like it." Aoqian stared at her, answering earnestly.

"When can I meet her? She's prettier than me, I'm really curious about what she looks like." Song Xiwei forced a smile, trying to sound casual.

Aoqian smiled as well, "It won't be difficult for you to see him."

Song Xiwei rolled her eyes, not wanting to hear anything about the person Aoqian liked.

She was the one who asked, but seeing Aoqian's gentle and tender reaction when that person was mentioned, Song Xiwei suddenly regretted knowing so much.

She herself was unable to control her agitation.

"Take all the food away. I need to rest, so I won't keep you any longer," Song Xiwei said coldly to Aoqian.

Aoqian was still holding her hand, his eyes dimming slightly, "You barely ate anything..."

"What do you care if I've eaten or not? I'm not really hungry!" Song Xiwei's tone was very bad, and she couldn't help but want to get angry.
