Chapter 190 A misunderstanding lasted for five years
After saying that, Ai Xiaoxia went to the kitchen herself and asked the kitchen staff to cut some fruits. She felt that the two hadn't seen each other for many years, and she couldn't just come in and join in. It would be better for them to get to know each other first, reminisce about the past, and then talk about other things.
After Ai Xiaoxia went to the kitchen, Lin Rui poured more hot tea for An Ning: "You haven't changed much over the years."
An Ning took a sip of tea and put it down. "How could it be that not much has changed? We haven't seen each other for five years."
"Five years and three months." Lin Rui looked down at the teacup and said.
This sentence surprised An Ning and she didn't quite understand. If he didn't like her, why did he remember it so clearly?
So she looked at Lin Rui and asked, "Have you been doing well these years?"
Lin Rui took a deep breath: "It's okay, but I always feel like something is missing. What about you? Have you, have you started a family?"
An Ning shook her head. "No, I haven't thought about it yet. I'm planning to open a gallery with my friends recently, so I'm pretty busy."
Although she didn't say how she let go of Lin Rui over the years, she felt a little confused when she thought about what she had just said to Ai Xiaoxia. She really didn't expect that the first time she confided in an outsider like this, she actually met Lin Rui's biological sister. What kind of coincidence was this?
Lin Rui didn't know about this, but when he heard An Ning say she wasn't married yet, he was genuinely happy. He then asked, "Is the gallery in the provincial capital?"
"No, I'm in the city. My parents want me to come back, but I'm just back temporarily. I'm not sure about the future." An Ning said.
Lin Rui was very happy when he heard that An Ning was coming back: "Then we can see each other often in the future."
"Aren't you afraid your significant other will be angry?"
"I'm not married, I don't even have a girlfriend, what am I afraid of?"
"Didn't your family urge you to get married?"
"My parents are open-minded, and as you know, I'm a medical student, so I'm quite busy."
"That's true. Studying medicine is not easy."
“Learning to paint is not easy.”
"Um."
Having said this, the two of them suddenly fell silent again.
Seeing that the two of them stopped talking, Ai Xiaoxia hurried over with a fruit plate. She felt anxious and desperate.
My second brother is usually so talkative and can talk about eight topics at a time without any reason. Why is he so silent today?
But what should I say? Would saying too much backfire? But I couldn't just let them stay silent forever, could I?
She put down the fruit plate and said to Lin Rui, "Second brother, this is the painting classmate you told me about, right? She's even prettier than you said." She had to bring out what was in her second brother's heart.
An Ning was surprised to hear this. She looked at Ai Xiaoxia and asked, "Lin Rui said that?"
Ai Xiaoxia nodded quickly: "Yes, every time my second brother talks about you, he gets very excited, as if he has been injected with chicken blood. He has always wanted to find you."
Lin Rui's face flushed red after hearing what Ai Xiaoxia said: "Just go ahead and humiliate me. Tell me everything you want."
An Ning looked at Lin Rui, her heart was full of complicated feelings. She looked at Lin Rui and said, "Why are you saying this now?" After she finished speaking, her eyes were red and she stood up, clutching her cotton-padded jacket with trembling hands. "I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
After so many years, she finally felt that she could let it go and was going to come back to face these places that brought back memories for her, but what did he mean?
He didn't accept her feelings back then, and now he's disturbing her again. An Ning doesn't want to accept such a person.
But when she faced Lin Rui, she would become confused and wanted to escape.
Ai Xiaoxia felt that something was not right. She had listened to the inner thoughts of both parties and knew that they both had each other in their hearts, especially the second brother. He had been thinking about her for several years, while the other party said that it took him several years to forget. Just now, they both said it was more than five years. In such a long time, how many years had they lost to each other?
The most important thing is that Ai Xiaoxia knows that there must be a misunderstanding between the two of them, and they cannot be allowed to separate with misunderstandings. If this matter is not sorted out today, there will be a huge gap between them in the future.
She quickly stopped An Ning: "Ms. An, wait, I think there's a misunderstanding between you and my brother. If the man you told me about before is my second brother, then how do you know my second brother doesn't like you? My second brother has had a crush on you since high school. He has always been thinking about you, and you also told me that your heart made you come, which proves that you haven't completely let it go. No matter what, why did you have a misunderstanding in the first place? We have to resolve it, right?"
Lin Rui was confused when he heard what his sister said. What did An Ning say to Ai Xiaoxia?
An Ning was also confused. How could Lin Rui have a crush on her? And for so many years? Before graduating from junior high school, she had her best friend Zhang Xinxin pass a letter to Lin Rui, saying that if he wanted her to stay in the city, then she wouldn't go to the provincial capital. Although she didn't express her feelings, the meaning was clear.
Zhang Xinxin came back and told her that Lin Rui said that it was her freedom to choose where to go and it had nothing to do with him.
This is not very clear. Lin Rui doesn't like her, so she applied for a university in the provincial capital. She was not an enthusiastic person, so she left the city and rarely contacted her former classmates. She wanted to forget Lin Rui, so she didn't ask about Lin Rui's news. Occasionally she mentioned it to Zhang Xinxin, but Zhang Xinxin said she didn't know.
Ai Xiaoxia looked at the two people's eyes and became even more anxious: "Sit down, everyone. You have been misunderstanding each other for so many years. Do you want to let this misunderstanding accompany you for the rest of your lives?"
Lin Rui didn't sit down. Instead, he put his hands on the table, leaned towards An Ning and asked, "Is what Xiaoxia said true? Then how do you know I don't like you?"
An Ning clutched her clothes nervously with both hands and said in a trembling voice, "Have you forgotten the letter Zhang Xinxin brought you for me?"
Lin Rui was confused and thought for a while: "Zhang Xinxin? The girl who was so close to you?"
"You finally remembered?" An Ning's tone was filled with grievance, and she was about to cry when she saw Lin Rui.
Lin Rui was even more confused: "The love letter Zhang Xinxin gave me was written by her. I liked you, so I rejected Zhang Xinxin directly. I wanted to wait until I graduated from high school to confess my feelings to you, but right after the college entrance examination, you went to your grandmother's house in the provincial capital. After that, I couldn't contact you at all. The next time I heard from you was when you applied to a university in the provincial capital. I had no way to find you at all."
"What did you say? Zhang Xinxin wrote you a love letter? Then what about the letter I wrote to you?" An Ning widened her eyes in surprise, completely unable to believe it.
"She didn't give me your letter. I rejected her at that time and told her that I had someone I liked. She also asked me if that person was you. I nodded, and then she tore up the love letter and ran away." Lin Rui recalled the scene that day.
"Haven't you read the letter I wrote to you?" An Ning asked again to confirm.
