"I……"
Zhou Shiyang stared intently at Qin Yaqing, his dark eyes filled with sincerity. After listening to his words, Qin Yaqing looked up and met his gaze. To say she wasn't moved would be a lie.
Although she has now broken things off with Wen Qiming and no longer harbors any illusions about him, it is still too sudden for her to immediately accept another relationship.
Even though... even though Li Qiu had told her that this person in front of her was interested in her, in fact... Zhou Shiyang was standing in front of her now and had indeed expressed his feelings to her, it was still a bit abrupt to her.
It wasn't that she was being coy or pretentious; it was that she didn't want to consider a new relationship before she had sorted out the mess in her mind.
After much thought, Qin Yaqing said, "Zhou Shiyang, I understand your feelings, but as for my personal feelings, I... I don't want to think about it in the short term."
She reiterated her attitude towards relationships, adding, "You are very outstanding, it shouldn't be difficult for you to find an equally outstanding woman to be your partner."
In my heart, no one is better than you!
Zhou Shiyang said firmly, "Qin Yaqing, will you give me a chance?"
"..."
After a brief silence, Qin Yaqing asked, "You don't mind what happened between Wen Qiming and me? Even though we weren't very close in Qiaoxingtun these past few years, and he even distanced himself from me in August and September of this year..."
He avoids me, but we really did date. Many people in our youth community and the village probably think our relationship is just casual. Are you sure you don't mind that?
Zhou Shiyang shook his head without hesitation: "It's just normal dating, why should I mind? Besides, this is a new society. Even after marriage, there's still the possibility of divorce. As long as everyone is responsible for their own feelings, I don't think there's any problem with two people being together."
After a pause, Zhou Shiyang continued, "Besides, what happened between you and Wen Qiming wasn't your fault. It was because he didn't know how to cherish you. In fact, in my opinion, Wen Qiming is not good enough for you at all. Let's wait and see, he'll regret it sooner or later!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yaqing's eyes and nose stung slightly. She turned her head away, and after her emotions had calmed down a bit, she turned her gaze back to Zhou Shiyang, forced a smile, and said, "Zhou Shiyang... I will write to you when I get home."
After saying this, Qin Yaqing quickly turned around and ran towards Song Lan and Qin Boyan.
Yes, Song Lan had already left the educated youth compound and was standing with Qin Boyan, with Li Qiu standing next to them.
"Qin Yaqing, shouldn't you give me your home address?"
Zhou Shiyang quickened his pace to catch up with Qin Yaqing, his voice ringing out behind her.
I will write to you.
Qin Yaqing gave an irrelevant answer.
In reality, she figured that once Zhou Shiyang received her letter, he would know her address!
"Eldest sister-in-law, second brother."
When Qin Yaqing reached Song Lan and Li Qiu, she greeted them and then said to Li Qiu, "After I leave, try to control your temper and don't argue with those people all the time. There are many of them, and you might suffer a great loss one day."
"You think I'm afraid of them?!"
Li Qiu didn't take it seriously, but seeing the worry in Qin Yaqing's eyes, he coughed twice and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll just ignore them from now on."
At this moment, Zhou Shiyang walked over and smiled at Song Lan and Qin Boyan: "Hello, my name is Zhou Shiyang, and I am friends with Qin Yaqing."
"I didn't say we were friends."
Qin Yaqing immediately blushed and retorted.
Li Qiu paused for a moment, then smiled and asked Zhou Shiyang, "Are you pursuing Ya Qing?"
Zhou Shiyang nodded calmly and said "Mm". He knew he had taken advantage of the situation a bit, but he knew he had to fight for his wife and there was no room for backing down.
Upon seeing this, Song Lan and Qin Boyan both looked at Qin Yaqing.
"Sister-in-law, second brother, I...I didn't agree to date him, I just...I just said I would write to him."
Qin Yaqing felt extremely guilty under the gazes of Song Lan and the other person, and hurriedly tried to explain.
Qin Boyan shifted his gaze from her to Zhou Shiyang, his eyes scrutinizing him. After a moment, he asked, "What is your relationship with Zhou Shiwei?"
"Cousins".
Zhou Shiyan responded truthfully.
"Do you know that Zhou Shiwei's family and my family don't get along well, and that Zhou Shiwei was sent to the countryside by her family because she coveted my older brother?"
As the younger brother, Qin Boyan did not object to his older sister Qin Yaqing dating, but he did not want to see her stumble in love again. As for Zhou Shiyang and Zhou Shiwei, their names differ by only one character, he did not believe that the two were unrelated.
Therefore, he needed to find out the truth, lest Qin Yaqing fall in love with this new relationship only to be heartbroken and distressed in the future because of Zhou Shiwei and Zhou Shiyang's relationship.
"..."
Zhou Shiyang was stunned. After a long while, his expression was both embarrassed and ashamed. He said, "First of all, I want to apologize to you on behalf of my cousin."
Furthermore, I am not clear about the specific reasons why my cousin was sent to the countryside, but please rest assured that I am not confused, and I will not judge my personal feelings based on my cousin and her family.
I will take responsibility for my relationships, and my family is very easy to get along with. I believe that as long as it's something I like, my family won't have any objections.
He spoke to both Song Lan and Qin Boyan. Upon hearing this, Song Lan's clear and calm eyes showed no emotion. She slightly parted her lips and said, "You don't need to tell us these things right now."
She glanced at Qin Yaqing, then turned her gaze back to Zhou Shiyang: "After all, my sister-in-law hasn't agreed to date you yet."
"..."
Zhou Shiyang was taken aback.
