That night, Ji Mingxuan drank for a long time at Cheng's house. In the end, only Shanshui was still sitting there. Both Cheng's father and son were drunk by him.
The women in the house all went back to their rooms to sleep.
Xue Hanyu hadn't fallen asleep yet. When she heard the noise outside, she put on her clothes and came out.
"Hanyu, since you're here, I won't see Master Ji off. You can send Master Ji to the door. I'll go see if A Yue is asleep."
Shanshui saw Xue Hanyu and said with a smile.
"Brother Mo, go ahead!"
Xue Hanyu felt that she had to have a good talk with Ji Mingxuan.
When they arrived at the door of Cheng's house, the light from the lantern made their shadows very long.
"Hanyu, you haven't answered the question just now!"
Ji Mingxuan turned around and faced Xue Hanyu.
"Brother Mingxuan, please don't make jokes like this again. Otherwise, I don't know how to face you."
Xue Hanyu said seriously.
"What if I say I'm not joking?"
Ji Mingxuan also replied seriously.
"But, but you are my brother! Since I was a child, I have always regarded myself as your sister."
Xue Hanyu pursed his lips and frowned.
"But you are not my sister! I only have one sister, her name is Ji Feifei."
Ji Mingxuan raised the corner of his mouth and said.
"Then, we can't do this! Brother Mingxuan, I really just put you..."
"Hanyu, listen to me."
Ji Mingxuan didn't want to hear Xue Hanyu say that she only treated him as a brother, so he interrupted her.
He reached out to grab Xue Hanyu's hand, but Xue Hanyu dodged him.
"I used to think you were the same as Feifei. I never thought about whether I had a crush on someone. Until recently, someone told me what it felt like to be in love with someone. He said that to be in love with someone means to think about them often and worry about them all the time... After he finished speaking, the person who appeared in my mind was you. At that moment, I knew that I was in love with you."
"I'm engaged to Minzhu, and I've never thought of other girls over the years. Even when I knew Minzhu's heart was with Mr. Ma, I didn't think of looking for other girls. Do you know why?"
"Because, there has always been a good girl by my side, and that's you."
"If that person hadn't said those words to me that day, I don't know when I would have realized how I felt. Fortunately, that person said those words to me."
"Hanyu, I won't force you to give me an answer right now. I'll give you time to think about it. If you don't know what to do, why don't we just get along and try it out, not with the same identities as before, but with your mindset adjusted and a different identity. How about that?"
"Didn't Shanshui and Ayue also develop feelings for each other over time?"
"Hanyu, give me a chance, and give yourself a chance, okay?"
Ji Mingxuan looked at Xue Hanyu and spoke very seriously, not sounding like a joke at all.
"I……"
Xue Hanyu didn't know how to answer and could only look at Ji Mingxuan stupidly. She had never encountered such a situation in her life and really didn't know how to react.
"Alright, go back and get some rest! Tomorrow morning, I'll pick you up and take you to the capital. Be good and go back quickly! Get a good night's sleep. Maybe when you wake up tomorrow, you'll have the answer in your heart!"
Ji Mingxuan grabbed Xue Hanyu's shoulders, turned her around, and pushed her into the house.
Then he turned and untied his horse and rode away.
