As soon as Zhang Rui got home, flustered and confused, she told Mingxi about it.
"I really didn't expect that they would become a couple." Zhang Rui had always known that Jiang Cha was very attached to Ning Hongze, but she felt that perhaps it was because Jiang Cha lacked fatherly love that she was particularly fond of Ning Hongze, and Ning Hongze was also very good to her, which was why she was so attached to him.
“I’ve always treated him like a brother, but he wanted to sleep with my daughter.”
Mingxi was also somewhat surprised.
"...I didn't expect that either."
Ning Hongze is a bit older than him. But it would be a lie to say that he didn't notice at all.
When he first met them, he felt that there was something wrong with the way they looked at each other.
The gaze didn't seem like that of a relative or friend, but rather like that of a lover.
Ning Hongze's gaze towards Jiang Cha was even more affectionate than his gaze towards Zhang Rui, while A Cha's gaze towards Ning Hongze was a sticky, almost envious look.
He sensed something was amiss, so he tentatively suggested that Zhang Rui take Acha home to raise her. However, Acha refused, and Zhang Rui, unable to persuade her otherwise, went along with it.
Seeing Ning Hongze's helpless expression, Mingxi realized that perhaps she was overthinking things.
After all, Acha was only a little bit old back then.
He really couldn't believe that such a young child could have such deep thoughts.
Moreover—Ning Hong is also abnormal.
Would a normal person have such thoughts about such a young child?
If Ning Hongze knew what they were thinking, she would definitely cry foul. Jiang Cha may look like a child, but in terms of thought and mentality, she's just as old as him, okay?
"What should we do now?" Zhang Rui was extremely troubled.
Why did this happen between the two of them? Why Ning Hongze?
"If you forcibly separate them now, you will definitely not get the result you want."
Some people are like that, especially young people; the more you try to break them up, the stronger their bond becomes.
Those hardships did not break them up; instead, they became the best catalyst for their love.
It is precisely because of these hardships that their love seems so precious and all the more remarkable.
On the contrary, it is those mundane and trivial days that are more likely to destroy their love.
"Love fades with time."
Mingxi had just finished speaking when he saw Zhang Rui looking at him with red eyes.
"Will your love for me also disappear?"
clear:"······"
Oops, I said the wrong thing. It seems I've dug myself a hole.
“Of course it won’t disappear. There are exceptions, and I’m one of them. My love for you will only grow stronger like strong liquor; it will never disappear. Every time I see you for the first time, my heart races just like when I first met you.” Mingxi whispered in Zhang Rui’s ear, and then kissed her on the cheek.
"Then why do you say love will disappear?"
"·····"
Isn't this focus misplaced?
"Why--"
Zhang Rui sighed deeply, completely unaware of the key point in Mingxi's words.
Mingxi also let out a long sigh; his confession had been completely ignored.
Upon discovering this major incident, Zhang Rui was at a loss for what to do.
Her daughter is inherently stubborn, and if they are forcibly separated, she will likely become even more rebellious, just as Mingxi said, making it even harder for the two of them to separate.
Jiang Cha nestled in Ning Hongze's arms, her face relaxed and at ease, showing no trace of her previous hysteria.
"We've been discovered—"
"Yes, we've been discovered. Are you scared?"
Ning Hong casually peeled a milk candy and stuffed it into Jiang Cha's mouth.
“What’s there to be afraid of? We’re both single, it’s a normal relationship, what’s there to be afraid of?” Jiang Cha said casually. “If they really can’t accept it, then we’ll leave here and go somewhere else, anywhere is fine.”
As long as they can be together, that's enough.
Ning Hongze has no mission this time, and his regret has been made up for. From now on, he only needs to focus on Acha.
What is your mission?
“It’s about making my mother happy.” Jiang Cha said hesitantly, “In her past life, Zhang Rui’s greatest pain was the death of her daughter. Now she’s alive and well, she’s remarried, has two loving sons, and her work is going well. I suppose she can be considered happy?”
"I guess so."
"Anyway, I don't care anymore, I'm going to be with you eventually."
"That's—absolutely necessary."
Ning Hong lowered her head and kissed Jiang Cha's lips. No matter what happened, they would always get through it together, and neither of them was allowed to let go first.
Zhang Rui came a few more times after that, and talked with Ning Hongze and Jiang Cha respectively.
She was talking about the age difference and the difference in their values between the two of them.
He even had his mother, Lu Xiu, and Zhang Zhanxuan come together to persuade them.
Lu Xiu looked at Ning Hongze, who was sitting quietly to the side without saying a word, and then glanced at Jiang Cha, who was sitting in the same position, but right next to Ning Hongze. She suddenly remembered the time when she brought Ning Hongze home.
Even at a young age, Jiang Cha declared that she was Ning Hongze's future wife.
I initially thought she was joking, but I never imagined she actually meant it.
From that time on, Acha already had her own thoughts.
“You don’t need to say anything more. The two of us will not be separated.” Jiang Cha suddenly interrupted Zhang Rui’s rambling. “I will absolutely not leave with Aze.”
Seeing that Jiang Cha wouldn't listen to reason, Zhang Zhanxuan coughed lightly and turned to look at Ning Hongze.
This matter was indeed beyond Zhang Zhanxuan's expectations.
“Hongze, you and Zhang Rui are siblings—although you are not related by blood, but—”
"That's why I refused to be registered under the same household registration as you. If you really want to calculate it, we have no relation whatsoever." As soon as she said this, Lu Xiu's face turned pale instantly.
"If you think I've embarrassed myself, you can pretend you don't know me."
"Ning Hongze, what are you saying?"
No wonder he refused when they suggested they register under the same household registration; no wonder he's always been unwilling to treat Zhang Rui as his brother, even though they have such a good relationship.
“I’m telling the truth.” Ning Hong sighed. “To be honest, I don’t want to be so heartless, but it’s absolutely impossible for me and Acha to separate.”
"Hongze, are you... are you still blaming me?"
Over the years, they had gotten along very harmoniously, to the point that Lu Xiu had almost forgotten about these things.
However, to be honest, although Hong's attitude was not bad, he always felt distant from her.
Her relationship with the twins she later gave birth to was also distant.
