After the meal, Xie Wei was drenched in sweat and started clearing the dishes to wash them.
Little did they know that Bai Shiying had seen all of this, and her smile deepened.
When Xie Wei entered the kitchen to wash the dishes, Bai Shiying followed him in, put on gloves, and helped wash the dishes.
When Bai Shiying came in, Xie Wei only paused for a moment before continuing.
"I'm sorry," Bai Shiying suddenly said, "I misunderstood you."
"..." Xie Wei didn't speak, seemingly stubborn, yet also indifferent, making it impossible to guess his emotions.
"I have regained my memory," Bai Shiying said again.
"I knew" because Grandma Dean mentioned that you had come back, and I knew it from the way she looked at him.
"Nothing else?"
"Do you want me to say something? To bring up those past things you've denied?" Xie Wei lowered his eyes and wiped his hands with a tissue.
You know that's not what I meant.
"Miss Bai, I don't think we can still be friends as if nothing happened." Her tone was cold and distant. Xie Wei glanced at her, threw the tissue into the trash can, and walked out of the kitchen.
People who have truly loved each other are not suitable to be friends after breaking up.
Bai Shiying was left standing there, staring blankly at Xie Wei's back. Although his tone was extremely indifferent, Bai Shiying could still hear the anger in his voice.
But this kind of reaction is good; it proves that Xie Wei hasn't completely let go of her, and she still has a chance.
The two barely spoke after that; Bai Shiying simply followed Xie Wei silently, offering help whenever Xie Wei was too busy to assist.
Xie Wei could only ignore her behavior.
When evening came and the children had all gone to bed, Xie Wei was also preparing to leave when Bai Shiying grabbed Xie Wei's wrist.
"I also feel we're not suited to be friends. I want to be your lover," Bai Shiying said firmly. "Xie Wei, we're a match made in heaven."
It was probably evening, and people are always a bit sentimental. Looking at Bai Shiying's eyes, Xie Wei pulled his wrist away, his voice low and slow.
"Miss Bai, I want more than just Bai Qianqian's affection; I also want Bai Shiying's."
"..." Bai Shiying understood what Xie Wei was saying, and she also knew that Xie Wei had not finished speaking.
"What you said may be right. You are Bai Qianqian, but you are also Bai Shiying. I don't deny Bai Qianqian's feelings for me, but is Bai Shiying's feeling of attraction due to guilt caused by a misunderstanding really clear to you?"
Xie Wei looked up at the moon. It was under this moonlight that he had spoken those heart-stirring words, but now his words sounded rather heartless.
“I understand, that’s why I came here,” Bai Shiying said without hesitation, expressing her feelings.
Before, when I stood here, you would rush towards me without hesitation. Now, you are tired, and it's my turn to walk towards you. I only ask that when I walk towards you, you don't back down.
"Xie Wei, I like you, Bai Qianqian likes you, Bai Shiying likes you too. I want to pursue you, is that okay? Think about it, take as long as you want, give me your answer only when you agree." The original formula, even with the positions reversed, is still captivating.
Looking into the girl's firm and bright eyes, Xie Wei couldn't help but soften his heart. He left these words and turned to leave.
(Children from the orphanage: So, we're also part of your play?)
(Just to make an excuse, starting to let go doesn't mean not completely letting go yet. Our protagonist's actions are understandable, and the author also had a hard time handling this part of the relationship. Maybe the author could have done a reconciliation (just kidding). If you don't like it, please be gentle with your criticism.)
