"If they didn't give us food, we would just steal it. My grandfather and my grandmother would sneak into the chestnut forest at night to pick chestnuts. My grandfather would pick them and my grandmother would pick them up. They would only pick one or two and then run away, so nothing would happen. But they were so hungry at that time that they always wanted to pick a lot. Then the stingy monster guarding the chestnut forest came and chased my grandfather, so my grandfather and my grandmother ran away. We ran for a long time."
"After finally escaping, we harvested chestnuts to make roasted chestnuts. Sometimes we would pick up ears of corn from other people's fields, secretly, and make chestnut rice. Life was still hard, but that was a very happy time for my grandparents."
The two childhood sweethearts picking and eating chestnuts together made the scene seem beautiful. Lin An nodded in agreement, "It's indeed very happy."
"Yeah, I envy my grandpa and grandma's love, too. That kind of innocent love between young boys and girls is completely unattainable in today's economically developed society." Xi Xiayao's eyes were full of longing, and she added, "When building this Xi Family Villa, my grandfather also replicated this chestnut forest. On major holidays, he would pick chestnuts with his children and grandchildren and eat chestnut rice. He also required Xi family daughters to learn how to make chestnut rice. There was also a tradition for newlyweds in the Xi family to secretly pick chestnuts and make chestnut rice together."
"In order to restore the sense of urgency of the past, the stingy monster guarding the chestnut forest also appears. It can be regarded as a ritual of the Xi family."
There is an old man guarding the Xi family chestnut forest, who is a replica of the love story between the old man of the Xi family and his original wife. Lin An understood the underlying reasons and was moved by the love of the old man of the Xi family. He also knew why the old man of the Xi family was so obsessed with his original wife - this is called true love that shares adversity, but in the end there is no way to share wealth. What's the use of his immense wealth? It's such a pity.
But at the same time, Xi Xiayao performed a ceremony with him that only newlyweds in the Xi family could perform, which meant that the dilemma Xi Xiayao encountered was almost unsolvable, and Xi Xiayao would definitely leave him.
This made him feel uncomfortable again.
"Okay, I understand. Then what is the dilemma you are facing?" But Lin An still had to ask clearly what was going on and would find a way to solve it.
"There's no rush. I have one more thing to say." Xi Xiayao looked at Lin An with tenderness in her eyes. "Ms. Ye Ju and the others are very smart girls, but the daughters of our Xi family are not stupid. My sister may look silly and innocent, but she didn't just pick anyone to be her master. She saw your gentle nature clearly and entrusted the rest of her life to you."
"I've told you before, I've been sick a lot since I was little, so I'm very sensitive to the delicate emotions of those around me. I know you've been very sad inside, Lin An. This sadness is me trying to understand the extent of your constant tears. Lin An, you've experienced a very unfortunate past. I want to help you heal your sadness, but I can't."
"Ms. Ye Ju and the others are smarter than me. They may think that the open competition agreement is painful for you, but I think they all like you very much and want to heal your sorrow. I have similar ideas to them. I also think that you should marry someone to heal your inner sorrow."
"Ye Ju, Jian Shui'er... How do you choose among these 18 people? Lin An, you must be troubled. I will help you choose the girl you really need from your heart."
Xi Xiayao reached out and stroked Lin An's chest near his heart: "What kind of girl does Lin An need?"
"First of all, Lin An longs for a very ordinary life with the daily necessities of life. You don't like the life of a wealthy man with servants to take care of the housework. So, me, Gong Sirou, Theresa, Nan Yunxuan, Jian Shuier, the daughters of wealthy families, are not suitable for you."
"Then Lin An, what you want in your heart is a gentle girl who is like an older sister to take care of you. Sister-like characters like Zhou Hailian, Lu Muyuan, and Gu Ying are not suitable for you."
"And then, Lin An, you long for a very happy marriage. A marriage with conflicting values is not suitable for you. Girls like Ye Ju, Fang Qingying, and Xiao Yemei who have different values from you are not suitable for you either."
"After choosing and choosing, there are only two people left: Sister Gong Ya and Xu Yaoji."
"Sister Gong Ya is the girl who can satisfy your inner needs. If you choose her, your married life will be very happy and your inner sorrow will be healed quickly."
"Xu Yaoji is a perfect match for you in every way. You two are naturally compatible. Choosing her is like a broken heart becoming whole, and a sad heart will soon be healed."
"If Lin An really wants to choose one, please choose one of the two."
He actually thought seriously about choosing one out of the 18 girls. To be honest, it seemed like each one he chose was the best choice, and he couldn't make a choice.
Now hearing Xi Xiayao say this, he thought about it for a moment.
If you really choose according to your inner needs, you have to choose between Gong Yajie and Xu Yaoji. Gong Yajie is bound by her younger sister, so Xu Yaoji is almost the only one left.
"You are the only man in the world who can date me, and I am the only one in the world who can be your girlfriend."
What Lao Xu said came true again.
Lin An thought silently for a long time before looking up at Xi Xiayao: "Can you tell me about the dilemma you are facing now?"
The analysis Xi Xiayao had just given him about who he should choose sounded too much like a final instruction. Was the dilemma Xi Xiayao faced really so unsolvable?
"No problem, it's very simple." Xi Xiayao had a relaxed smile on her face. "After my grandfather cleaned up the house last time, he basically decided to pass the Xi family business to me. I am not capable enough as a girl, so my grandfather will find me a good son-in-law who can manage the huge family business. I also have to fulfill the fate of the elders' arranged marriage. I am different from my younger sister who can be a cat freely. I am the older sister, and I have to inherit this fate."
"But because I'm still young and my marriage will last for a few more years, I can still live in your house and wake you up every morning. However, there have been rumors in my family recently that I'm living in your house and that there are photos of several girls in your house. There have been a lot of rumors in my family, saying that it's immoral for an unmarried girl like me to do such a thing, and that it will affect my future choice of a son-in-law and how I will inherit the family business."
"My grandfather is under a lot of pressure, but he has always been doting on me and hasn't forbidden me from living in your house. However, I'm the eldest daughter, and my grandfather has given so much for me. I can't be as willful as my sister, so I've decided that after today, I won't live with you anymore."
So this is why Xi Xiayao wants to be a fairy? Because she wants to be free, unlike the eldest daughter of the Xi family who has the fate of inheriting the family business.
A simple analysis of Xi Xiayao's dilemma shows that he has only one option, which is to marry Xi Xiayao. But can he marry Xi Xiayao?
Can't marry.
There was no solution to Xi Xiayao's dilemma, and even he could only let Xi Xiayao leave with regret.
It's another uncomfortable thing!
