Chapter 414 Do you like Su Xiangnan?

"Moya will probably not meet you in the future, so embarrassing? How can I start?" Compared to Su Xiangnan's anxiety, Lu Jingchen was much calmer and asked slowly.

"How do you know she won't meet me?" Su Xiangnan asked in confusion. He didn't realize that he had been led by his fourth brother without realizing it, and he had completely lost his initial "prestige".

"She avoided me today." Lu Jingchen looked at Su Xiangnan and asked in a deep voice,

"Do you think she will still be willing to see you?"

After hearing what Lu Jingchen said, Su Xiangnan was stunned for a moment, and then complained unconsciously:

"It's all your fault. You knew she was thin-skinned..." Having said this, he didn't say anything else. Maybe he realized that his concern for Moya exceeded the original friendship he had in his mind.

Lu Jingchen seemed not to understand his worries, and deliberately said in a caring tone:

"Weren't you still worried just now that it would be awkward when they met? Now it's okay, we don't have to meet, and you'll be saved the embarrassment. What? Are you unhappy?"

"Haha..." Su Xiangnan looked at Lu Jingchen, forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and replied:

"Happy, I'm so happy." After saying this, he lowered his head and continued to eat the braised pork in the bowl. While eating, he couldn't help but muttered in a low voice:

"It seems that you really don't want me to have a wife!"

"Didn't you say that you only regard Moya as a friend? You don't have to worry if she doesn't appear in front of you. What does this have to do with whether you have a wife or not?" Lu Jingchen looked at Su Xiangnan and asked with pretended confusion.

"I treat her as a friend, but..." Su Xiangnan was obviously lacking in confidence when he spoke here, and his voice became weaker:

"But, I would be unhappy without this friend!"

"You are unhappy because you lost a friend. What does it have to do with the fact that you have a wife?" Lu Jingchen pretended not to understand what he said and continued to talk about his wife.

"Old Four, you..." Su Xiangnan was speechless after being asked this question. He was thinking about how to turn the tables, but he heard Lu Jingzhen continue to ask himself:

"Su Xiangnan, are you in a hurry to find a wife because you want to have a baby quickly and catch up with me?"

Su Xiangnan was about to deny it when he heard Lu Jingzhen utter a murderous sentence:

"That's not necessary, because no matter when you have children in the future, no matter how many children you have, you have to call my children "Old One"."

These few sentences said in a row completely broke Su Xiangnan's defense. He covered his chest with his hands, his face full of pain, and said to Lu Jingzhen:

"Lu Jingzhe, are you a human being? I'm injured like this, and it's ok that you don't care about me, but you even use words to provoke me. The world is going downhill and the world is cold and indifferent. Alas, after so many years of brotherhood, I think you don't want me as your brother anymore."

Looking at Su Xiangnan who was pretending to be weak, Lu Jingzhe did not have sympathy on his face. Instead, he asked:

"No matter how badly you are injured, your legs are still there, can't you still walk?"

This sentence is obviously telling him, your legs are still there, you can still walk, Moya didn't sympathize with you yesterday, why should I sympathize with you?

Su Xiangnan didn't understand what he meant. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't find the words to reply. He was so angry that he couldn't even taste the red-roasted pork in his mouth. He was about to scold him for being inhumane, but he heard him say something even more inhumane:

"Oh, it's just that it's inconvenient to take a cool bath. You have to bear with it."

After hearing this, Su Xiangnan was about to scold him, but he was choked by the food. He pointed at Lu Jingzhen and wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak because of coughing. He was completely defeated at the beginning.

This confrontation ended with Su Xiangnan's complete defeat again.

Compared

to the two men in the ward who were at loggerheads, Xia Qingxi and Mo Ya were much more harmonious. Mo Ya ate the meal Xia Qingxi brought back, and Xia Qingxi counseled her:

"Actually, you didn't have to deliberately avoid Lu Jingxie just now, and you don't have to feel embarrassed about what happened yesterday. We all understand." After that, she reiterated her attitude:

"It is your right to like someone. We will only respect it and won't think there is anything wrong with it."

Mo Ya paused with her chopsticks in her hand, and was silent for a while before saying:

"I know that I am not compatible with Captain Su, and I have never had any delusions. I also know that Captain Su cannot like me. I don't want to bring any trouble to him, so I will not see him in the future to avoid embarrassment."

Xia Qingli did not persuade her to strive for anything. In her opinion, Mo Ya's current mentality is inferiority. Even if she is with Su Xiangnan, with this kind of thinking, her status is unequal.

She must completely get rid of this mentality and stand in front of him confidently and generously. This is a good performance of a relationship or a marriage.

How to get rid of this mentality? Only if Mo Ya becomes excellent, from temperament, talent, knowledge, taste... improve herself in many aspects. As long as she becomes better, even if she does not marry Su Xiangnan in the future, she can find an equally excellent partner based on her own conditions.

"Moya, don't be bothered by these things. You can practice your specialties and read more books when you have time." Xia Qingying said, patting Moya on the shoulder and saying seriously:

"If a flower blooms beautifully, then the butterflies that like it will be attracted to it by themselves, instead of deliberately catering to others to please them."

Moya didn't quite understand what Xia Qingying meant. She hesitated and asked:

"Are you going to make me beautiful and then wait for others to like me?"

"Yes." Xia Qingying nodded, and then said:

"But it's not all about that. This 'beautiful' doesn't just refer to appearance, but also to the accumulation of knowledge, the broadening of horizons, the improvement of talents and the richness of the heart."

Although Mo Ya couldn't fully understand what Xia Qingxi meant, she knew that Qingxi must be doing it for her own good.

She knew that she was not as smart as Qingxi, and didn't know as much as she did, so she would listen carefully to her suggestions. Mo Ya nodded heavily, looked at Xia Qingxi and said seriously:

"Qingxi, I seem to understand. In the future, I will read more books, enrich myself, and work hard to become better!"

Xia Qingxi smiled. She knew that Mo Ya had always been very obedient and was working hard to develop in a good direction.

Her personality changed from being timid to being confident and generous, and her job changed from being a hospital cleaner to being a member of the art troupe. Now she can also serve as the lead singer of songs. Behind all these changes is the effort she put in, which is ten or a hundred times more than others.

As long as she works hard and is good enough, one day she will stand in front of everyone shining brightly, and everyone will admire her and even look up to her.

In the following days, except for Monday when Xia Qingying was accompanied by Lu Jingqie and Principal Dong to accept the city's commendation, she was teaching classes and practicing the piano at the same time.

Mo Ya was fully devoted to practicing choral songs, and occasionally came to practice the piano with Xia Qingying. During her rest time, she read books borrowed from the library to enrich her knowledge.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of September, and the weather had become much cooler. The day before the official performance, Xia Qingying knew that Mo Ya must be very nervous because it was her first time on stage, so she made an appointment with Xia Guyu in the afternoon after she finished practicing, and the three of them went to the back mountain to relax.

Most of the trees planted on the mountain are cypress trees, which do not drop their leaves all year round. So even though it is autumn now, the mountain still looks lush and green. This season is the time when autumn chrysanthemums are in full bloom. The valley is full of chrysanthemums, which look particularly beautiful.

"Moya, sing a song." Xia Qingling looked at Moya and encouraged her.

"Moya, I want to listen too." Xia Guyu also said very cooperatively.

If it were before, Moya would be very embarrassed, but now she is not shy at all. She cleared her throat openly and sang.

She sang a minor tune, which was melodious and pleasant to the ears. Her voice was as clear as the spring water in the mountain stream. After the song was finished, everyone was still immersed in her singing.

"It's so beautiful, Moya, you are great!" Xia Guyu couldn't help but applaud.

Xia Qingxi also said with a smile:

"Moya, if you feel nervous tomorrow, just think of the audience below the stage as this patch of cypress trees, just like now, standing in the valley, as long as you perform normally, it will be fine."

"Yes." Moya nodded seriously, then looked at Xia Qingxi and Xia Guyu:

"Qingxi, Guyu, thank you!"

I still remember that when I first came here, Moya only dared to hum quietly, feeling embarrassed, but now she can show her singing voice openly.

When she was praised, she would no longer be shy like before, but accept it openly.

Unconsciously, she has become confident and calm, like a flower that blooms slowly, not hurriedly, but fragrant and charming.

The three chatted for a while, then started picking flowers. Xia Guyu moved to Moya's side, with a pair of smiling eyes, and asked:

"Moya, do you like Su Xiangnan?"
