Lu Xue raised her head, looked at Wen Yichen with tears in her eyes, and prayed.
"Xuexue, I'm sorry. I don't want to hurt you. But my heart is already full and there is no room for anything else. I hope you can find the happiness that truly belongs to you." Wen Yichen sighed and comforted her softly.
"Brother Wen, can you try to like me? I'm very good, can you try to like me?"
Lu Xue leaned in Wen Yichen's arms, tears streaming down her face. Although she was in unbearable pain, she still wanted to try harder.
Wen Yichen felt guilty. He pinched his brows shamelessly and said, "I have always treated you as my sister..."
"Who wants to be your sister?"
Lu Xue suddenly let go of Wen Yichen, pushed him, and ran away crying, leaving Wen Yichen alone.
Wen Yichen looked at the receding figure, sighed helplessly, and felt guilty.
Wen Yichen returned home carrying the bag.
"Brother, you're back. What did you bring with you?" Wen Yao asked.
"I received a scarf from Xue for free," Wen Yichen answered truthfully.
"Oh? Xue gave you a scarf set!" Wen Yao said with a gossipy look on her face.
"Brother, you have accepted the kindness of the Li family, but you are not going to accept the Li family, right?" Wen Yao asked tentatively.
Wen Yichen shook his head when he heard this, then turned and walked towards the study.
Wen Yao smelled an unusual smell and followed him into the kitchen.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? You look like you're in a bad mood!" Wen Yao asked concernedly.
"It's okay, I'm just a little irritable," Wen Yichen replied.
"What's the matter? It's not like Xue confessed to you and you refused?" Wen Yao guessed.
"I have always treated her as my sister, nothing more than that, so sister, you and mom should not think about bringing us together, I can't bear anyone else in my heart right now."
Wen Yichen told Wen Yao what was in his mind.
"I know, brother." Seeing Wen Yichen's serious expression, Wen Yao said softly, "Relationships are not forced. I will talk to mom and we won't force you."
"Thank you," Wen Yichen rubbed his face with his hands and said tiredly.
"Brother, time will tell you all the answers. Let the past go. There is still a long way to go in the future," Wen Yao soothed.
After she finished speaking, she turned and left, leaving Wen Yichen alone.
Sitting at the desk, looking at the bag on the table, he took out the scarf again and examined it carefully.
The fine stitches on the scarf let him feel Lu Xue's attentiveness.
Lu Xue returned home, locked herself in her room, and cried bitterly.
Jiang Yu and Li Xiulian knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened it.
"What's wrong with this child? She went out happily and came back crying," Li Xiulian said with concern.
Lu Xingzhou sat beside the brazier and said quietly, "It's likely that Yichen rejected you."
"What? Rejected?" Jiang Yu and Li Xiulian were surprised when they heard this.
"I told you earlier that they are not suitable for each other and that she would not fall in love with anyone else in the short term. You didn't listen and encouraged Xuexue to pursue me. Now, what a shame!"
Lu Xingzhou said with a sigh, he also felt sorry for his younger sister at this moment.
Jiang Yu and Li Xiulian looked at each other upon hearing this, unable to say anything for a moment.
Wen Yao's home.
Chen Lan and Wen Guoqiang, Lin Yun and Huo Zhenting, Wen Yao and Huo Jingqian sat around the brazier.
Chen Lan let out a long sigh.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Don't interfere in their affairs. Just let them be," Wen Guoqiang patted Chen Lan on the shoulder and soothed her.
Wen Yao nodded, "Oh, Mom, you also want your brother to be happy, right?"
Chen Lan sighed helplessly, "Oh, I know, but Yi Chen has been so closed off from the outside world. I'm really worried that he will grow old alone."
At this time, Huo Jingqian said: "Mom, don't worry, my brother is a sentimental person. He just needs time to heal, but he will never grow old alone."
Wen Guoqiang agreed: "Yes, let's not be too anxious."
Everyone expressed their agreement, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed.
Lu Xue stayed in the room for a whole day, and only walked out of the room with red and swollen eyes when night fell.
The whole family felt sorry for Lu Xue when they saw her like this, but they couldn't bring up Wen Yi Chen anymore.
"Xue, are you hungry? Mommy will cook you a bowl of noodles, okay?" Li Xiulian asked caringly.
Lu Xue nodded when she heard this.
Jiang Yu stood up and pulled her to sit down beside the brazier.
"Xue Xue, there are beautiful women everywhere in the world, why do you have to love only one flower? Listen to my sister-in-law, relax your heart, and don't be sad and shed tears for a man," Jiang Xue consoled.
"But sister-in-law, you like him. He is the first one you like." Lu Xue, who had just calmed down her good mood, couldn't control her tears when she heard Jiang Zhen say this.
"Lu Xue, there are so many good men around, why do you have to stay with Wen Yichen? You are so beautiful and have a good personality, and there are many boys who like you." Jiang Yu wiped away Lu Xue's tears and comforted her with concern.
"Yes, your sister-in-law is right. There are many good men in the army. I will introduce you to a better one later."
Lu Xingzhou at the side also spoke up and echoed.
"Look at Du Song, he's pretty good. I'll introduce him to Xiao Xue later," Jiang Yu said to Lu Xingzhou.
"Qi Fang is not okay, Qi Fang and Fang Zhi are dating, but Du Song is okay, you can introduce Du Song to Xiao Xue later," Lu Xingzhou said in line with his wife's words.
"Also, introduce Wang Yi to xiaoxue, so she can pick more."
Seeing her brother and sister-in-law singing the same tune, Lu Xue couldn't help but burst into laughter.
She knew that her brother and sister-in-law cared about her, wanted her best, and tried to make her happy.
"Lu Xue, look how beautiful you are when you smile. Smile more in the future. You will encounter many unhappy things and setbacks in your life. There is no need to take them to heart. Your heart is so big that it cannot hold too many negative emotions. So you have to be happier, do you understand?" Jiang Yu wiped away the tears from the corners of Lu Xue's eyes and comforted her gently.
Lu Xue nodded slightly, feeling a little better.
She looked at the caring eyes of her family and felt extremely warm.
In the blink of an eye, it is the end of the year, and the streets and alleys are filled with a festive atmosphere.
Lu Xue was helping to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner at home when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
She opened the door and saw Wen Yichen standing at the door, holding a box in his hand.
"This is for you." Wen Yichen handed over the box, "Happy New Year."
Lu Xue took the box in surprise, opened it and saw a chain inside.
"Thank you..." Her voice was choked.
Wen Yichen smiled and said, "You're welcome. It's just a small gift."
He looked at Lu Xue, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I hope you can find happiness that truly belongs to you in the new year."
After saying that, he waved to Lu Xue, turned around and left.
Lu Xue looked at his back, her eyes blurred with tears.
