Thinking about all the things he would be busy with tomorrow, Jiang Sheng stopped joking with his older sister. After returning home, the two tidied up briefly and went to sleep.
However, Jiang Sheng had only been asleep for less than ten minutes when the more he thought about Zhao Xuehui, the less he could fall asleep.
My second sister hasn't come back yet, and I don't know how things are going with Zhou Changgui outside.
No, even if Zhou Changgui has been warned, he still has to go and see for himself. He can't let his second sister suffer!
With that thought in mind, Jiang Sheng sat up straight in bed, threw on a coat, and went outside.
Just as he stepped out of his bedroom, he saw his older sister, Zhao Nianmeng, also coming out of her room.
"Big sister?"
"Little brother?"
The two spoke at the same time, both looking at each other with some surprise.
"What are you doing out here so late at night instead of sleeping?"
Seeing Jiang Sheng dressed neatly, Zhao Nianmeng couldn't help but feel very puzzled.
Jiang Sheng scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. Looking at his older sister, who was also fully dressed, he had a vague guess in his mind.
"Why is the eldest sister dressed so neatly at night instead of sleeping? Is she going out?"
When Jiang Sheng asked her this question, Zhao Nianmeng was taken aback at first, then she and he smiled at each other.
"I was just worried about Xuehui and wanted to go out and check on her."
“That’s quite a coincidence,” Jiang Sheng had already guessed this. After hearing the expected answer, he readily nodded and admitted, “Actually, I was worried about my second sister, so I planned to go and check on her.”
The two shared the same idea and couldn't help but laugh at each other's words.
“Alright, big sister,” Jiang Sheng stepped forward and placed his hands on Zhao Nianmeng’s shoulders, pushing her towards the bedroom. “It’s late at night and the weather outside is chilly. You’re a girl, be careful not to catch a cold. I’m a tough guy, I’ll secretly follow you and make sure you get home safely!”
Zhao Nianmeng felt a warmth in her heart, experiencing for the first time the sense of security that came from being protected by her younger brother.
He nodded subconsciously, then, worried about Jiang Sheng's safety, gave him a lot of instructions before Jiang Sheng pushed him into the room.
Goodnight, big sister!
Watching Jiang Sheng grin at her before closing the bedroom door, Zhao Nianmeng felt as if something had flashed through her mind.
Before she could even realize what it was, exhaustion overwhelmed her, and she drifted off to sleep.
After leaving home, Jiang Sheng secretly went into the woods to look for Zhou Changgui and Zhao Xuehui.
After searching for a long time, Jiang Sheng finally found the two of them on a bench on a shady path at the end of the grove.
He quickly hid behind a tree not far away and found that the two people were just sitting normally in the chairs, without doing anything inappropriate.
However, because they were neither too close nor too far apart, Jiang Sheng overheard their conversation.
"Xuehui," Zhou Changgui said with his usual deceptively gentle smile, "I've written another poem these past few days, and I feel like there's something amiss. I'd like Xuehui to help me correct it, is that alright?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuehui, who had already developed a certain place in Zhou Changgui's heart due to her interactions with him over the past few days, realized that he held a special place in her heart.
Upon hearing that the other person had composed a new poem, her eyes lit up.
"Really? Let me see!"
Zhao Xuehui quickly spoke up happily, but then realized that she seemed to have overstepped her bounds, so she smiled sheepishly.
"I'm sorry, I'm just a little too excited."
After saying that, facing the smiling face of her beloved, Zhao Xuehui's pretty face flushed slightly, and she even felt a little flustered.
It's clear that they really care about Zhou Changgui.
Seeing this, Zhou Changgui was secretly delighted, but deliberately wore a smile on his face.
"It's okay. Xuehui doesn't need to be too deliberate in front of me. Say what you want to say and do what you want to do."
Zhao Xuehui was taken aback at first, but then quickly realized what she meant.
Looking at the man's gentle smile and refined gentlemanly appearance, Zhao Xuehui was momentarily stunned.
Seeing this, Jiang Sheng wished he could rush forward immediately and pull Zhao Xuehui back.
This Zhou Changgui actually dared to use his good looks to seduce my second sister!
Despite the criticism, Jiang Sheng had to admit that Zhou Changgui was indeed quite handsome. At least compared to other men, his elegant appearance was very deceptive.
That's why, a girl like him, who is not only good-looking and talented but also a school English teacher, would probably have no chance of escaping his intense pursuit.
The second sister has always liked talented people the most, and Zhou Changgui happens to be able to write poetry, which hits the spot for the second sister. In addition, he is so good-looking, which naturally makes him even more attractive.
Otherwise, how could my usually outgoing and carefree second sister suddenly become such a demure woman when she sees her sweetheart?
Jiang Sheng kept telling himself to be patient, and finally suppressed his anger, watching helplessly as Zhou Changgui took Zhao Xuehui's hand in his own.
"Xuehui, to be honest, I do have some feelings for you."
The sudden confession, coupled with the fact that the other person held her hand, made Zhao Xuehui's face even hotter.
Her usually carefree personality didn't seem to work as well in front of Zhou Changgui, and even made her a little shy.
"But, I feel like it might be a little too fast..."
As Zhao Xuehui spoke, she subconsciously tried to pull her hand back.
Although Zhou Changgui coveted the soft, boneless touch in his palm, he was also afraid that he might frighten the woman in front of him by being too eager to succeed.
Reluctantly, he had no choice but to let go of her hand.
"If Xuehui thinks it's too fast, then we'll take it slowly."
Zhou Changgui showed a hint of disappointment on his face, but quickly recovered and put on a gentle smile.
"After all, we are still young and have a long life ahead of us. It's normal for Xuehui to have concerns. I'll wait patiently for you, Xuehui. As long as you turn around, I'll always be behind you."
Women are indeed susceptible to such sweet words, and Zhao Xuehui was no exception.
However, after the attack just now, Zhao Xuehui had calmed down a lot.
She was no longer as shy as before, and instead smiled at him.
"Since you're willing to wait for me, let's get to know each other slowly. Thank you for giving me time."
