Cheng Huaijin remained silent.
Gu Xin sighed as she looked at him.
The brother and sister sat facing each other, neither of them speaking first.
After a long while, Cheng Huaijin picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.
He put down his teacup and looked up at Gu Xin: "Let's take our time and see. In any case, I'll wait until you get married before I go back to Liusha."
Gu Xin nodded: "Yes. Brother, this is your business. Logically speaking, I shouldn't interfere or try to influence your thoughts. However, I also hope that you can live a good life and have fewer regrets."
Cheng Huaijin chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Actually, I haven't thought that much about it. I just want to raise Yun-ge'er well. As for myself, I don't care. My father only has me as his child. What I'm thinking is that when Mingyue becomes queen, I can take one of her sons so that I can take over the Liusha Kingdom later. I've mentioned this to my father, and he neither agreed nor refused, only saying that we'll see later. That's just what I'm thinking."
Gu Xin shook her head helplessly: "Brother, let's not talk about whether the throne of Liusha will be given to Aunt Yan's son or someone else. Let's just talk about you, okay?"
Cheng Huaijin was taken aback.
Gu Xin continued, "Yun-ge'er is still young, and he depends on you, so you can take care of him. But he has to grow up eventually, and he can't always be by your side, right? He'll have his own things to do. At that time, you'll be all alone. I don't want to see you like that. Also, you clearly have feelings for someone, so why don't you follow your heart? Why do you think so much? You're moved, but you're trying so hard to suppress them, even though you're not suppressing them. You've already given someone a signal! Since you've already responded, why not be bolder? Either keep suppressing your feelings or, if you do respond, go for it. This behavior is bad; it will hurt yourself and the other person. Although not everyone can grow old with the one they love, why not seize the opportunity?"
"You may not realize it now. But in the future, you will understand what you have missed. If you are really interested, don't think too much about it. Ask her for advice. Don't make decisions for her. Tell her your thoughts and let her make her own decision."
"Of course, before you ask her, you'd better think it through carefully whether it's temporary or for life. You're my brother, she's my sister, and I don't want to see either of you get hurt."
Cheng Huaijin listened to Gu Xin's words, but he couldn't make a decision right now.
No one wants to leave their hometown.
He was afraid—afraid of rejection, and also afraid of acceptance.
He was afraid. He was afraid that he couldn't give a girl a lifelong commitment, or the life she could have had.
Gu Xin took a sip of tea, then ate the fruit on the table, without urging Cheng Huaijin to say anything.
Actually, if Cheng Huaijin makes too many decisions, she will be worried.
This is a lifelong matter; not thinking about it carefully might seem too frank.
However, it's very important not to overthink these things; if you think too much, you might really miss out.
Gu Xin was incredibly fortunate. With her brother Yuanyuan, she didn't have to think about anything. She hadn't considered other aspects, and her brother Yuanyuan certainly hadn't either. There were no obstacles between them.
