Gu Yingxue made her feelings clear, but she didn't tell anyone except Gu Nian. She also secretly warned herself not to show them too obviously, as it wouldn't be good for anyone.
She didn't dare to imagine the awkwardness of Cheng Huaijin facing her after he knew her little secret, or whether he would simply ignore her.
But Gu Yingxue forgot that the eyes are the windows to the soul. You may have paid attention to your tone and your behavior, but you couldn't hide the joy in your eyes.
Sure enough, when Cheng Huaijin, Gu Xin, and Gu Si came to see her the next day, Gu Xin noticed that something was wrong with Gu Yingxue.
It wasn't that Gu Yingxue's words were wrong, it was just her eyes.
Gu Xin had seen that look in Grandma Gu's eyes before.
When Grandma Gu looked at Grandpa Gu, she only had eyes for him, her eyes filled with trust, admiration, and overflowing love.
She was startled herself. Xue'er hadn't been like this for the past few days, so why was she suddenly like this today? Could she have misread it?
Gu Xin plans to invite Cheng Huaijin to come and see Gu Yingxue for the next few days so she can continue to observe her.
This observation lasted for five days. During these five days, Gu Xin became certain that Gu Yingxue had fallen in love with Cheng Huaijin. She couldn't help but wonder, given Xue'er's personality, she shouldn't have failed to realize her own feelings. Yet, she acted as usual. Why didn't she tell her brother?
Gu Xin didn't rush to expose Gu Yingxue, but instead quietly asked Cheng Huaijin.
On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, the weather was fine as always. The Gu family children were helping to set up the nursery in Beiyuan. Although the younger members of the Gu family had already grown fond of the place, the nursery director had not yet been appointed, and Peng Yizhu had not yet returned to Beijing. Therefore, this was their usual place to play.
Gu Xin and the others also took some time to slowly add things according to the drawings sent by Peng Yizhu.
Gu Xin saw Cheng Huaijin at the slide in the tree hole, so she ran over and said, "Brother, what are you doing sitting here? Want to play? This slide is too narrow, you can't slide down it!"
Cheng Huaijin smiled and said, "I plan to take a look first, and then bring them over to play after Yun-ge'er wakes up from his afternoon nap."
Gu Xin leaned against the slide and asked casually, "By the way, brother, when you take Yun-ge back in the future, are you really planning to have a maid take care of him? Have you really not thought about finding Yun-ge an aunt?"
Cheng Huaijin shook his head: "I think Yun-ge'er and I get along quite well. I even carried him to my room to sleep the other night, and he was very well-behaved. I guess it's okay without an aunt."
Gu Xin shook her index finger: "No, no, no, brother, you're wrong to think that way. The roles of father and mother are indispensable in a child's growth environment. Besides, even if it's not for Yun-ge'er, you have to think about yourself! Although the Western Lands are very peaceful now, what about later? Father said that after you go back this time, he plans to travel around and will no longer be the king. If there are any problems in the Western Lands, will you have time to take care of Yun-ge'er? Will you have time to manage the Flowing Sand Palace? Therefore, the Flowing Sand Palace needs a mistress, and Yun-ge'er needs an aunt who is like a mother to him."
Cheng Huaijin tapped Gu Xin on the head: "Why are you acting like an adult, advising people on how to get married! Just like your second uncle and aunt said, you're such a worrywart!"
