Chapter 18 The Opportunity to Pursue



Seeing Su Xinyi lost in thought, Ye Beiping smiled and asked, "Xinyi, aren't you wondering why we've become so close? Didn't we agree at the beginning that we wouldn't interact and that it would be okay?"

"You... how did you know what I was thinking?" Su Xinyi's eyes widened like saucers, her face filled with disbelief.

It feels so amazing. How did Ye Beiping know what I was thinking?

Ye Beiping smiled mysteriously and handed the plate back to Su Xinyi: "Eat it, and I'll tell you."

Actually, it's quite simple; it was just his own guess.

I watched too many melodramatic TV dramas in my past life, and they all had the same plot. I didn't expect to actually guess it right.

"Really?" Su Xinyi asked, half-believing, half-doubting as she looked at the meat on the plate in front of her.

Her pink lips curved into a smile.

Ye Beiping also brought chopsticks today and handed them to Su Xinyi: "I noticed you weren't taking them inside the other day, so I brought chopsticks for you today, so you don't have to run back to get them."

Touched by this gesture, Su Xinyi's eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

He took the chopsticks and began to eat the meat in small bites.

"Xinyi, why are your eyes red? Did I do something wrong?" Ye Beiping asked somewhat flusteredly.

Even if he were reborn, it would still be very difficult for him to understand the girl's thoughts.

Su Xinyi, with a piece of meat in her mouth, shook her head: "I'm just a little homesick."

After swallowing the meat, Su Xinyi looked at the meat on the plate and said, "When I was little, my dad would always prepare chopsticks for me like this and then pick out meat for me to eat."

"It's been more than two years since I came to Pingba Village, and I haven't been back since. I really miss home."

Looking at Su Xinyi like this, Ye Beiping slowly reached out and patted her on the back.

"It's okay, Xinyi. I believe you'll be home soon."

"Yes, I believe I'll definitely get a spot this year." Su Xinyi nodded confidently, then suddenly turned to Ye Beiping and said, "Ye Beiping, don't you think you're acting strangely? You say you like me, yet you encourage me to go back to the city. Don't you think that's contradictory?"

Is it a contradiction?

Ye Beiping blinked, removed his hand from Su Xinyi's back, and thought: I can't exactly tell you you can't leave, can I? I know you'll get pregnant, right?

"There's no contradiction. It's all about loving the person you love. If you like someone, of course you want them to be well. You should help them achieve their dreams and overcome any difficulties they face. Even if you're separated, shouldn't you still wish the person you love a bright future?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xinyi gazed intently at Ye Beiping for a long time: "Really? Does liking someone really mean hoping that the other person can be happy and fulfilled?"

"certainly."

Ye Beiping answered firmly.

These are all things taught in dating manuals, but they only teach you to say things you can't do them.

Otherwise, I'm destined to be a single dog for the rest of my life.

"But...but I think that would be cruel." Su Xinyi took a deep breath and said to Ye Beiping, "If we're destined to separate, why bother trying? It's like knowing you can't get into university, why bother taking the exam?"

Forehead......

Ye Beiping rolled his eyes and smiled, "What if there's even a one in ten thousand chance that the exam question... has an answer I already know?"

Just like the fact that you're pregnant, the answer has already been revealed.

"All right."

Su Xinyi sighed, stood up, and said, "Ye Beiping, how about this? I'll give you a chance to pursue me. However... I won't give you an answer until I return to the city. If..."

At this point, she blushed slightly and said, "If you are able to go to the city sometime, I think I will give you an answer."

After saying that, Su Xinyi shyly ran back to the courtyard of the educated youth settlement.

Ye Beiping was captivated by Su Xinyi's shy demeanor.

After a long while, he slapped his forehead and said, "Am I being a bit of a beast? Knowing all this... well, let's just take it one step at a time."

After glancing at the meat in the bowl and only eating two pieces, Ye Beiping could only sigh and take the bowl back.
