Cui Zhiruo pulled her hand away in surprise and said, "I just treat you as a younger brother. I don't like you so far."
"I know, I forced it." Sheng Liuming had always known that Cui Zhiruo didn't like him, but he wouldn't give up. He'd let someone else get the upper hand the first time, but now someone else was around. He wouldn't let anyone else snatch her away. No matter what, he had to take the initiative. "Let's focus on this date. If Sister still doesn't fall in love with me after this date, then it means I'm really not the type of person Sister likes, and I'll give up."
“…”
Cui Zhiruo stared at Sheng Liuming, as if to see if he was serious.
When did he become so straight?
"If you like me, can you give me a chance to be with you? I have more than a month to shoot and won't have time to come back. Can you agree to this request before I leave? It's just a simple birthday wish, can't you fulfill it?"
"Sheng Liuming..."
Cui Zhiruo's voice trembled slightly when she called his name.
"I'm sorry, it seems I was expecting too much. Maybe my request was too much. I just wanted to try and see if I could make my sister like me. If it really doesn't work, I'm sorry."
Sheng Liuming's eyes were clearly filled with disappointment.
"no……"
Cui Zhiruo spoke hurriedly.
How could I bear to refuse him on his birthday?
"elder sister……"
Sheng Liuming's eyes immediately lit up.
"This is the first birthday I've spent with you since you became an adult, and also the first birthday I've spent with you since returning to China. I agree to this wish, but let's make it clear that if I don't fall in love with you after the date, you have to give up. Do you understand?"
"Okay, sister, I promise."
A smile immediately appeared on his lips.
early morning.
Cui Zhiruo dressed up specially to go out, and Sheng Liuming was already waiting in the living room.
My sister went to school early, so it was just the two of them at home.
"Sister, you look beautiful today."
When Cui Zhiruo heard Sheng Liuming's praise, she just nodded.
I didn't sleep well last night.
She lay in bed, regretting it.
But since I had already agreed, I didn't say anything. I even dressed up carefully before leaving the room today.
Take a deep breath and just think of it as just playing with your brother.
Only after telling myself this did I have the courage to come before Sheng Liuming.
Cui Zhiruo didn't ask Sheng Liuming what he was going to do next, but just followed him out.
Sheng Liuming was wearing a mask, hat and glasses, and seemed afraid of being recognized.
He also wanted to experience dating like an ordinary couple, but because of his status, he couldn't do what ordinary people could do.
"Are you still in touch with the boy you went on a blind date with before?"
While walking on the road, Sheng Liuming asked first.
"After we were photographed, he sent me a message asking what happened. I just said you were my brother and didn't explain too much. Whether he believed it or not, I didn't care. We've both been too busy these days and haven't been in touch much."
Cui Zhiruo answered calmly.
Cui Zhiruo didn't care what Song Zhehao was thinking.
"What kind of person is that boy?"
Cui Zhiruo thought for a moment before saying, "He's a nice guy, gentlemanly and polite. He seems nice in every way, but I'm not worthy of him. Maybe we're not suitable."
"Why?"
Sheng Liuming asked in a suddenly higher tone.
"I simply felt I couldn't handle a guy like that, couldn't handle him, so I just let it go." Cui Zhiruo didn't belittle herself and took a deep breath. "After all, I thought my ex-boyfriend was the same kind of person, but we ended up breaking up anyway. So, don't force relationships. When fate arrives, it will all work out."
I don't have any desire to be with Song Zhehao, and I don't want to use him.
When I first learned that Sheng Liuming still liked me, I thought he might like Song Zhehao. I got in touch with him a few more times. He was a very nice man, a gentleman with a sense of propriety, and could handle things with ease, but I didn't have that feeling of wanting to be with him.
I haven’t explained everything to Song Zhehao yet.
After being photographed, Song Zhehao sent a message and explained, but he didn't seem to believe it too much.
Anyway, he had initially said he wanted to get in touch with Sheng Liuming because he didn't want to be with him. He was a very suitable candidate for marriage, but Cui Zhiruo felt that if she was with him, they would only be able to respect each other after marriage, and she didn't want that kind of life.
A marriage without mutual affection is like a mere trade-off between the two parties.
She doesn't like and doesn't need such a marriage.
If it's not the person she likes, she would rather be single for the rest of her life.
So, in the end, the two people can only be friends.
"What about me? What kind of person am I to my sister?"
Cui Zhiruo paused and replied, "You are a brother that your sister loves very much."
"Just my brother?"
“…”
"Sister, don't you like sister-brother relationships? Don't you like your brother sticking to you?"
“…”
"What kind of thing does my sister like? I can change it."
"You're an actor, you should be able to handle any role you want, but if you get too caught up in the role, it's no longer you." Cui Zhiruo looked into Sheng Liuming's eyes. Although she couldn't see his expression through the sunglasses, she knew he was looking at her intently. "You have to be true to yourself, and make people like the most authentic version of you. That's what love means!"
"elder sister……"
"Sheng Liuming, you're very good, but you really can't force people to like you."
As if knowing what Cui Zhiruo was going to say next, Sheng Liuming suddenly said, "Would you like some milk tea? How about strawberry flavor? I heard strawberry is very sweet."
He turned around and walked into the milk tea shop.
“…”
Cui Zhiruo didn't say anything. She watched him go in and out quickly and hand her a cup of milk tea.
I don't know how I got into the park.
"Sister, don't you think those kids are cute?"
A group of children are playing.
"Back then, you were just like these kids, but the difference was that you were much colder than them. You always had a cold expression on your face, making it difficult to approach. You would even get angry and slap someone's hand away if they touched you. But now you're much better."
"It's different. I'm an adult now, not a child anymore. I know what I want, and I will fight for it."
“It’s good to be ambitious.”
Cui Zhiruo lowered her head and nodded.
"Sister... be careful..."
Suddenly, Sheng Liuming screamed, and the next second, she was pulled into a warm embrace.
