Yu Mingxue had asked this question earlier that day, and Wen Zhixia had also asked Yu Mingxue the same question in return, but Yu Mingxue left in a hurry, clearly harboring girlish thoughts.

She thought for a moment and asked, "You have someone you like?"

After saying that, he quickly added, "If you keep dawdling, I'm really going to ignore you."

Yu Mingxue then let go of her shyness and gave a soft "hmm".

Wen Zhixia found it strange: "If you like it, then you like it, so why are you being so awkward?"

Yu Mingxue didn't answer, she just sighed.

Wen Zhixia asked in confusion, "Why are you sighing?"

"He doesn't like me." Yu Mingxue became much more serious at this moment, and her tone was somewhat downcast.

Wen Zhixia was shocked: "There are people who don't like you?"

Yu Mingxue chuckled: "Surprised?"

"A little." Wen Zhixia didn't hold back her praise: "Aside from being a little mean-spirited, you're beautiful, from a good family, and have a great personality. It's hard not to like you after getting to know you."

Yu Mingxue couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth: "Praise me if you want, I'm not mean, okay? I always speak very politely."

“…I really didn’t see that coming.” Wen Zhixia hissed as Yu Mingxue punched her arm. “It’s broken. I won’t be able to get up without spending ten thousand yuan.”

Yu Mingxue chuckled: "I really gave it to you but you didn't want it... Sigh, Wen Zhixia, you're really an interesting person."

Wen Zhixia hummed in agreement: "Tell me in detail, I'll listen."

“Logically speaking, girls like you are usually quite calm and quiet, and perhaps a little insecure,” Yu Mingxue said. “But you don’t seem to be either quiet or calm.”

He can be quite mischievous occasionally, and he's very optimistic.

"Whether it's a tough day or a happy day, it's still just another day," Wen Zhixia said. "We all have to get through this day, so why can't we be happier?"

“That makes sense,” Yu Mingxue said. “You will succeed in whatever you do in the future.”

"Thank you for your kind words," Wen Zhixia said. "So why doesn't he like you?"

Yu Mingxue was silent for a moment: "Well, there are many reasons, and they are quite complicated."

Yu Mingxue omitted her name and only mentioned it briefly to Wen Zhixia.

I don’t know if it’s for some reason, but Yu Mingxue seemed quite relaxed in front of Wen Zhixia.

If it were someone else, she might not have been able to say these things.

“I haven’t seen him much since the marriage proposal came out. I heard from mutual friends that he’s been very busy. He finally finished his work, so I asked him out today.” Yu Mingxue took a deep breath and said, “I told him that I was willing to marry him because I like him.”

Wen Zhixia hummed in agreement: "He just rejected you outright?"

“Yes,” Yu Mingxue said, “He said that he has always treated me like a younger sister, and he has no other feelings for me.”

“How come I feel…” Wen Zhixia hadn’t finished speaking when Yu Mingxue interrupted her: “It’s true. He has always had a very good personality. Not only me, but also other children who are younger than me love to play with him. He really is like an older brother, always spoiling us.”

Wen Zhixia said, "He is indeed a very good person."

“Yes, he’s really great,” Yu Mingxue said. “Although it’s very sad that he doesn’t like me, I don’t know how I feel. When I confessed, I had a feeling that he would reject me, but I still told him. After I did, I felt a sense of relief.”

"I don't quite understand," Wen Zhixia said. "Could it be because you misunderstood your feelings before? Maybe you only have brotherly feelings for him."

“I can still distinguish between liking someone and family affection,” Yu Mingxue muttered. “If he doesn’t like me, that’s his fault.”

“Mmm.” Wen Zhixia echoed, “Yes, it’s his fault.”

“The person he likes is also at fault,” Yu Mingxue said indignantly. “He told me he had someone he liked, and even said that he would be able to be with the person he liked in a couple of days.”

"Huh?" Wen Zhixia was bewildered: "Is that so? Why is it in a couple of days? Is he going to confess too?"

Yu Mingxue pouted: "It seems that someone he likes asked him out, but he didn't say much and told me not to say anything either."

She rolled over, utterly bewildered: "I really want to meet the person he's been talking about. He raved about her like she was the best thing ever, like a fairy, saying that everyone who met her would like her. Is she gold? Everyone would like her!"

Yu Mingxue said with a hint of resentment, "I really want to see what kind of deity has bewitched him like this!"
