Cheng Huaijin recalled something amusing: "Back then, Xinxin looked like a six-year-old girl, not ten at all. Her hair was dry and yellow, like straw. Apart from her eyes, she was really a sight to behold."
Gu Xin gnawed on a bone and nodded: "Yes, that's right. Back then, when I saw Xiao Yu, Uncle Jun, Xiao Yu looked exactly like Brother Xiao Jin, fair-skinned, with big, beautiful eyes. At that time, I thought, wow, what a beautiful young lady! Her eyes seem to be able to speak. I just like pretty girls."
Xue Qianyu stirred things up: "Then why didn't you like Xiao Jin? Don't they look alike?"
Cheng Huaijin and Gu Xin looked at Xue Qianyu with disgust.
Gu Xin: "I don't like boys who are too fair-skinned!"
Cheng Huaijin: "I don't like young girls!"
"Hahahaha..." The King of the Flowing Sand Kingdom laughed loudly, "So now you two are no longer a blond girl and a fair-skinned boy!"
Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin then looked at the King of Liusha and said in unison, "Father (Uncle Jun), don't talk nonsense. I have someone I love."
Gu Xin: "I like Yuan Yuan's type. He's older, more mature, more stable, and he's good to me. The key is that he's only good to me and has never been good to any other girl, and he won't be good to any other girl in the future."
Cheng Huaijin: "The girl I like should be smart, beautiful, mature, and stable, and she shouldn't mind my hair and should be willing to wash it for me."
Then, the two of them said in unison once again, "We are siblings, real siblings! Father (Uncle Jun), don't talk nonsense, or you will lose the princess and the prince."
"Alright, alright, alright. I won't say anything nonsense, I won't say anything nonsense." The King of the Flowing Sand Kingdom waved his hands in surrender after being confronted by the two of them. "You two are siblings, my son and daughter. I'm going to have daughters-in-law and sons-in-law. Just the two of you are too few, too few!"
Xue Qianyu put down his chopsticks, looked at Cheng Huaijin, and asked casually, "Xiao Jin, didn't you leave the Great Zhou when you were thirteen and be taken to the Flowing Sand Kingdom? You had someone you liked at such a young age?"
Gu Xin paused, oh no, her future brother-in-law had found out?
Cheng Huaijin smiled and said, "That's right! I was young back then and didn't understand. But after the family tragedy, I thought about my sister and that girl who supported me through these past few years. Only then did I realize that she was the one I loved."
Xue Qianyu raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Have you ever considered that the girl is already married? Xin Xin is two years younger than you and has already reached marriageable age. That girl can't be younger than Xin Xin, can she? If so, do you still have feelings for her?"
Gu Xin lowered her head and silently ate her rice.
She rarely heard Second Brother Xue talk so patiently to someone; Second Brother Xue must have known.
Cheng Huaijin smiled bitterly: "After thinking about it for so many years, it's hard for most people to just stop thinking about it all at once! If she's already married, I'll silently wish her well and hope she has a smooth life in the future. If she's not married yet, then I'll strive to grow stronger and become a better match for her. No matter what, she'll always be in my heart. She's a light in my life; without her, I probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long."
Xue Qianyu gave Cheng Huaijin a deep look. Sigh, the fact that no one he disliked had appeared around Niannian for the past two years had made him forget about Niannian's likable qualities.
