If Gu Xin hadn't looked genuinely puzzled, Li Muyan would have definitely thought she was making fun of him.
He looked at Gu Nian, who was still laughing at him, with a wronged expression: "I did this for your sister, didn't I? I made that giant Kongming lantern that can carry people flying, and after trying it out myself, I couldn't wait to tell your sister."
"Miss Nian, come and take a look at this. I don't know if you did it right?" At this moment, Madam Meng called out to Gu Nian.
"Hey, I'm here!" Gu Nian went over.
Seeing Li Muyan stand up, Gu Xin also stood up: "Brother Muyan, you love my sister, don't you?"
Li Muyan paused, then poked Gu Xin's head: "Little girl, do you even know what Xin Yue is?"
Gu Xin rubbed her forehead and asked with utmost seriousness, "Then answer me this: are you happy to see my sister? Do you want to share anything you like with her immediately? Do you often think about my sister? If my sister is happy, even if you're having a bad time, you're still happy. If my sister is unhappy, even if you're happy, you'll be unhappy too. Also, you can't stand seeing my sister being too close to other people and ignoring you, regardless of gender. Don't think I don't know that you were very sad the day my sister went to save Sister Su but didn't save you."
Li Muyan looked at Gu Xin in surprise. "Little girl, are you trying to fly to the sky? Are you spying on my thoughts?"
Gu Xin raised her chin smugly: "Isn't that right?"
Father said that to observe a person, one must be meticulous and look at their subtle expressions, not what they say, but what they do.
My uncle also said that many people are not what they think; people are very complex, and you can't judge them by appearances alone.
Brother Muyan would shout and call for Gu Nian, but every time he saw his sister, his eyes would light up. When his sister smiled, his expression would be joyful, and when his sister ignored him, he would feel disappointed!
Although it doesn't happen many times each time, it's always the same!
Li Muyan looked around and whispered, "Although what you said is quite right, there's one thing that hasn't been verified yet: I've never seen your sister when she was sad! So, I don't know whether I'll gloat or feel sad and disappointed with her."
Gu Xin, with her hands behind her back, shook her head and said seriously, "Brother Mu Yan, there's no need to verify. Even if you show schadenfreude, you're still heartbroken. So, I'm certain, you do love my sister and want to be my brother-in-law!"
Li Muyan nodded: "My purpose was very clear from the first time I came to your house: to make your sister take responsibility for me and then become your brother-in-law."
Gu Xin was stunned for a moment, then looked at him speechlessly: "That doesn't hold water. All four of us sisters touched you that day, and you didn't say who should take responsibility! So, you are in love with my sister."
Li Muyan sighed and said pitifully, "Okay, you saw through me! But Xinxin, look how pitiful I am, do you want to help me and get your sister to like me too? I want to have a romantic relationship with your sister, but she only wants to talk business with me! I'm so pitiful, I'm having such a hard time!"
Gu Xin raised her hand and patted his shoulder, acting like a little adult: "Are you stupid? If she wants to talk business with you, just talk business with her! As you talk business, you'll have a chance to develop feelings for each other, right? By directly refusing to talk business with her, you're directly refusing the opportunity to develop feelings for her! Did you go to heaven on a Kongming lantern and leave your brain behind?"
Li Muyan: ...
Xin Xin's words make so much sense!
