Ye Yifan and Gu Xiaoxue also said goodbye to Hua Qingyi and left together.
Once downstairs, Ye Yifan asked Hua Kai, "Does your brother and Zhang Miao have feelings for each other?"
Hua Kai looked at Ye Yifan and said, "You noticed? Zhang Miao likes my brother, but my brother doesn't know it."
Gu Xiaoxue shook her head, adopting an old-fashioned demeanor, and said, "This age is when one's heart begins to flutter, which is normal. However, I still don't approve of early relationships. Not all young people know what they want for their future, and most relationships at this age don't last long."
Ye Yifan looked at Gu Xiaoxue, who was starting to undermine him again: "You said it yourself, not all of them are suitable, so there are still some, right? Some people are precocious, which means they can control their own future, right?"
Gu Xiaoxue sighed: "Although I don't know Zhang Miao very well, I've heard Hua Kai talk about her. Her family background, her grades, and her future are all too uncertain. If she really falls in love too early, I'm afraid it won't work out."
Hua Kai said, "Yes, that's what I said too. That's why I told her not to confess to my brother. If she still likes my brother after her college entrance exam and they both agree not to have a long-distance relationship, then I'll support her."
Gu Xiaoxue nodded in agreement, saying, "That's the right idea. If all students had your level of awareness, my job would be much easier."
Ye Yifan looked at the blooming flowers and said, "You're different from them."
Hua Kai paused for a moment, stunned.
Ye Yifan added, "So you don't need to be like them, just be yourself."
Hua Kai agreed with Ye Yifan's statement, admitting that she was indeed different from them because she had the mindset of an adult and was capable of making her own decisions.
She said, "That's true, I was precocious after all."
Gu Xiaoxue looked at the blooming flowers: "Do you have someone you like?"
Hua Kai scratched her head: "Let's go eat, I'm hungry."
Gu Xiaoxue wanted to say something, but Ye Yifan patted her shoulder and said, "I heard your aunt really likes Meng Jing. Let's arrange to have a meal together sometime, and I'll help you check her out."
Gu Xiaoxue blinked: "No, Brother Fan, I haven't thought about this. It's all my aunt and the others' fault."
Hua Kai smiled and said, "So, do you think Meng Jing is good or not?"
Gu Xiaoxue was silent for a moment, then said, "It's fine."
"That's good. It's suitable for work, family, everything. We can explore it further," Ye Yifan continued.
"Wait a minute, why are they talking about me?" Gu Xiaoxue asked, puzzled, as she followed behind the two.
Ye Yifan said, "Isn't chatting just about saying whatever comes to mind? Do you expect us to prepare a draft? Let's go, Huakai is hungry, let's go eat."
As they talked, the group went into their usual restaurant nearby.
After finishing their meal, it was getting late. Hua Kai still had to deliver food to Hua Qingyi, so she didn't go to the shop with Ye Yifan. Ye Yifan could just go and check it out on his way back later.
Hua Kai packed some groceries for Hua Qingyi and sent them back. She also took the opportunity to check out the tools Ye Yifan had brought, as she was really itching to try them out herself.
Once inside, Hua Qingyi was heating up food in the kitchen, while Zhang Miao was washing clothes in the bathroom.
Hua Kai went over to take a look and saw that Zhang Miao was washing Hua Qingyi's clothes. She whispered, "Isn't this too obvious?"
Zhang Miao blushed and said, "Really? I just washed it casually. Brother Qingyi usually helps me with so many things."
Hua Kai smiled and shook her head: "I don't understand. I brought back some food, you and my brother can eat together."
Zhang Miao said, "I'll hang the clothes up and then I'll go over."
Hua Qingyi's food was heated up, and the dishes Hua Kai brought back were also hot. They were all served, and Zhang Miao was invited to eat together.
The weekend arrived quickly. Huakai didn't go home this weekend because she needed a lot of tools for drawing blueprints, and she wanted to spend the whole day drawing there.
Ye Yifan returned to the provincial capital; he still had many things to personally check on at the shops there.
Hua Qingyi didn't go home this week either. Anyway, there's not much work to do right now. He can go back whenever he wants, not necessarily on the weekend. His sister is here, and he wouldn't feel comfortable going home alone. Staying here gives him some company.
At noon, after the brother and sister finished their meal, they sat by the window and chatted.
Hua Kai actually had some concerns. She had mentioned this to Ye Yifan before, and Ye Yifan suggested that Hua Qingyi should also take precautions, since they were both young and experiencing their first love. He advised Hua Qingyi to wait two years before considering the matter.
Otherwise, if Zhang Miao treats Hua Qingyi too well, and if Hua Qingyi also falls for her, and the two actually get together? That's definitely not a good thing right now.
So Hua Kai first steered the conversation to this topic, asking Hua Qingyi, "Brother, what do you think of Zhang Miao?"
Hua Qingyi asked, puzzled, "What do you mean, 'what happened'? She's your friend, isn't she? What happened? Did she do something to hurt you?"
Hua Kai could tell that her older brother didn't have that idea, but she still took precautions first, saying, "No, brother, I'm just worried that Zhang Miao comes over often and you might have other feelings for her. After all, Zhang Miao is still a student. If you really want to date, it's best to wait until she graduates from high school."
Hua Qingyi stared at the blooming flower for a long time before saying, "I didn't mean anything by it. Are you overthinking it?"
Hua Qingyi's feelings became even more complicated. If his older brother didn't like Zhang Miao, and Zhang Miao had a crush on him for two years, and after graduation, she confessed her feelings, only to find that Hua Qingyi didn't like her back, wouldn't she be hurt?
Seeing his sister's conflicted expression, Hua Qingyi asked, "Is there something you're not telling me the truth about?"
Hua Kai quickly shook her head: "No, brother, I'm just worried that you two are dating too early. Early relationships don't easily lead to anything, and I'm afraid you'll get hurt. Besides, brother, you should focus on your career right now. It's better to talk about relationships later when you have a successful career."
Hua Qingyi nodded: "That's exactly what I meant. I'm so busy right now, how can I think about this?" After saying that, he looked at Hua Kai: "Kai Kai, why have you been acting so strangely lately?"
Hua Kai quickly denied it: "No, I didn't, brother, I went to draw." She then hurried back to her room.
Hua Qingyi looked at Hua Kai, wondering what was wrong with this girl; she had indeed been acting strangely lately.
The sofas in the store have been selling exceptionally well lately, about 30% more than those sold at Huakaixiang.
As the flowers bloomed, they gradually came to understand people's consumption habits at that time. Since most people in the city had jobs, there wasn't much to spend in those days. Many families had savings, and there wasn't much to compare themselves to; it was basically just about their families.
People at this age enjoy family gatherings and having friends come over on weekends, so they pay more attention to home decoration.
So it's normal that sofa sales were higher than expected, because it's the most attractive part of a home. Of course, matching coffee tables and TV cabinets also sold well. Beds were a bit less popular, but still quite a few. This is because the layout of northern cities at that time was quite strange. Many families didn't have a living room, but instead had a large master bedroom with the bed and sofa in the same room, so matching items like beds sold well.
However, with the end of the semester approaching, Huakai will have to take two exams this year. After finishing the first year of high school, she will have to take the second year's exams again.
