Gu Yingxue told Gu Nian about playing mahjong.
Although Gu Nian was already married and had dated in ancient times, she still felt that she didn't understand matters of the heart very well, so she couldn't give Gu Yingxue much advice.
She could only ask Gu Yingxue, "Xue'er, Xiao Jin is a good boy, but there's nothing I can do to help you with this. However, if you want me to do something for you, you can still tell me."
Gu Yingxue shook her head: "Sister Niannian, I don't want you to do anything for me. I just want to share with you that I have someone I like."
Gu Nian asked her, "Will you tell him?"
Gu Yingxue thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No. Back in the west, I foolishly wanted to marry Yun-ge for his sake, and he was actually quite annoyed with me then. I didn't consider his feelings at the time; I just wanted to put my mind at ease. So, I won't do that now. It's my business that I like him, and I don't want to tell him and cause him trouble. At least now he treats me like a younger sister, and I'm happy with that. If I told him, he might ignore me or treat me coldly again, just like before. I like him, but that doesn't mean he has to like me back."
"Although it's wonderful that the person I like likes me back, I don't dare to gamble. I'm content with our current relationship. Brother Xiao Jin promised me that he would write to me often to tell me about Yun Ge'er after he took Yun Ge'er back to Liusha Kingdom. As long as I know that he and Yun Ge'er are doing well, that's enough."
Gu Nian was somewhat surprised by Gu Yingxue's words. This little girl had thought so clearly about her first crush.
Does she have absolutely no possessiveness?
Gu Yingxue thought for a moment and continued, "Of course, I naturally want to be with Brother Xiaojin. I might be heartbroken if he gets married in the future. But I've witnessed Brother Xiaojin's indifference and his disregard, and I'm afraid. I'm timid, and I'd rather not say anything than break our current relationship. Let it be, I'm still young anyway. What if I really end up seeing him as just a brother and not feeling anything for him anymore?"
Gu Nian didn't know what to say. She could only say, "Okay, I won't try to persuade you if you've decided this way. But I'll keep an eye on Xiao Jin from now on, and I'll also have your brother-in-law keep an eye on him to see if he's attracted to anyone else. Maybe, like you said, once he leaves, you'll really just see him as a brother and won't feel anything for him anymore. Let nature take its course!"
Gu Yingxue nodded: "Yes, let nature take its course."
Gu Yingxue then told Gu Nian many, many things, such as when she and the Sand King were captured by the Yunhai tribe, and Cheng Huaijin and Gu Xin rescued them in the desert. When she saw someone attacking Cheng Huaijin from behind, she shielded him without hesitation.
She felt that she might have liked him a little back then!
Feelings are a complicated thing. Some people are absolutely certain that they fell in love at that moment, but others can't explain it. They don't know when, but someone else has taken up residence in their heart, and they can't get rid of them no matter what.
Gu Yingxue only told Gu Nian about this, and didn't tell the other sisters.
It wasn't that she didn't trust them or didn't treat them as sisters; she was just worried that if more people found out, what if Cheng Huaijin found out too?
Now that Cheng Huaijin is finally able to talk to her normally, she's afraid that if he finds out she likes him, he'll ignore her like before.
