"By the way, brother, were you looking for someone just now?" Gu Xin thought of Cheng Huaijin looking around earlier.
“I thought Xue’er and Sisi were here too, but it turns out you’re the only one.” Cheng Huaijin didn’t deny it.
He had no secrets from Gu Xin. The two were sworn brothers, not blood siblings, but their bond surpassed that of blood siblings.
"You're probably looking for Xue'er, not Sisi!" Since he was so frank, Gu Xin didn't beat around the bush anymore.
Cheng Huaijin smiled but didn't say anything.
"Brother, what exactly do you mean?" Gu Xin asked.
"Are you referring to my feelings towards Xue'er?" Cheng Huaijin asked.
“Yes! I’m referring to your feelings for Xue’er. Even a blind person could see how Xue’er feels about you! And what about you for her? You’re my brother and my sister, and I want you both to be happy.” Gu Xin said seriously.
"I don't know either." Cheng Huaijin pursed his lips, thought for a while, and said, "She takes good care of Yun-ge'er, and she's also very patient with Xiao Qi and the others. She's a kind and innocent girl, and I'm quite happy to be with her. It's just..."
Gu Xin: "..."
What's the scariest thing after hearing something nice? It's hearing something else entirely.
She didn't press for details, and just waited silently for Cheng Huaijin to speak.
After a moment's thought, Cheng Huaijin said, "However, she's still young. Although she's not Uncle Qingyuan and Fifth Aunt's biological daughter, they treat her like their own. Xinxin, you know the environment in the West. I can't stay in Da Zhou forever; I'll have to go back eventually. I can't bear to take a girl from Da Zhou to the West to live a life of hardship and suffering. Also, I'll definitely treat Yun-ge'er better than my own children. That's unfair to my wife and children, and I don't want such a kind and good girl like Xue'er to suffer such unfair treatment."
Gu Xin rolled her eyes at Cheng Huaijin: "Brother, who have you been hanging out with lately? You seem a bit of a jerk!"
Cheng Huaijin was taken aback: "?"
Gu Xin said, "Since you have all these considerations, why do you keep sending Xue'er these secret signals? You're making that girl's heart flutter. How come I never noticed how wicked you are before? Don't tell me you couldn't help yourself, I don't believe it. My father and Yuan Yuan both approve of your calmness and self-control. When you don't want to show it, you can control yourself."
Cheng Huaijin lowered his head in shame.
Gu Xin continued, "If you don't intend to be with her, then don't do anything that might cause her to misunderstand. You don't understand young girls' thoughts, but I do! Although I haven't experienced anything like this before, I know that if Brother Yuanyuan treated me like this, I would be very sad and heartbroken."
Cheng Huaijin looked at Gu Xin, thought for a moment, and said, "I've thought about it, but I don't want her to suffer with me. She should live in Da Zhou, find a loving husband, and live a wonderful life."
Gu Xin frowned: "You're not her, what right do you have to make decisions for her? Uncle Qingyuan and Fifth Aunt probably won't make decisions for her either, they respect her choices, so why do you make decisions for her? How do you know that she should live in Da Zhou, that she should find a loving husband in Da Zhou? How do you know that if she does what you say, she will definitely have a wonderful life?"
