Sanwa was making a phone call from his own window. There were many people in the house, and Xie Yunyun could vaguely hear voices and laughter.
"Have you had your New Year's Eve dinner yet?" Sanwa asked.
"Yes, I'm eating now."
"Xie Yunyun, my New Year's wish is that you can grant it to me. Please don't let my wish go unfulfilled."
A feeling that was hard to describe welled up in Xie Yunyun's heart.
"Li Yan'an, you used to hate me, so why are you pursuing me now?"
The reason she kept refusing was simply because she didn't want to believe that he really liked her.
But today, his New Year's greeting seemed to touch her heart more than any gift or romantic gesture, and she suddenly wanted to ask him.
When questioned, Sanwa gave a wry smile. "I'm sorry, I can't really explain it myself back then. If you're talking about ten years ago, I thought you were trying to get close to me and my family with ulterior motives, so I was a bit wary of you."
"Actually, I later realized that you were just genuinely grateful, and I regretted it a little. But, I..."
Xie Yunyun also thought about how he came to her rescue at the restaurant later, so he already didn't dislike her back then, right? It's just that he was too proud to say it, so he only expressed it through his actions.
"I saw all the text messages you sent me, but I didn't take them seriously at the time. Maybe this is God punishing me. Look at me, I can't catch up with you no matter what I do now," he joked to himself.
"You still haven't told me why you're pursuing me. Do you really like me?" Xie Yunyun had already left the dinner table and returned to her bedroom, where the door was already closed.
Xie's mother thought her daughter was talking to some client or something that she couldn't listen to.
On the other end of the phone, Sanwa laughed. "Xie Yunyun, I didn't understand before, but now I know very well that I like you."
Xie Yunyun blushed. "Why do you like me?"
"I'd love to know the answer too. Anyway, I don't like other men around you, especially that wretched little guy. If there has to be one, it has to be me, you understand?"
If Sanwa were here, Xie Yunyun would want to spit on him.
"I haven't agreed to your request yet, so don't flatter yourself."
"Can you bear to see me all alone at my age?" he said pitifully.
Um, Xie Yunyun had never seen him like this before, and was speechless for a moment.
"What does that have to do with me?" she said awkwardly after a while.
"By the way, what are your plans for the next few days of the Chinese New Year?" Afraid of upsetting Xie Yunyun, Sanwa skillfully changed the subject after hanging up the phone.
Xie Yunyun was in a good mood, but when he asked her that question, and thought about having to go to that little grandson's appointment because of her mother's promise, she frowned.
"I'm being forced into blind dates."
"What!" Sanwa exclaimed.
"Why are you so excited?" Xie Yunyun's mood suddenly improved again.
"Xie Yunyun, you won't even accept my advances, yet you're going on blind dates with other people!" Sanwa was already gritting his teeth.
"I'm still single, why can't I go on blind dates? That's my personal freedom," Xie Yunyun said deliberately.
"I... I just can't do it." Sanwa's voice became hesitant.
"Sigh, maybe if we chat, we'll find that we're a good match."
"Xie Yunyun, you've turned bad," Sanwa said quietly. This heartless woman!
"Is there?"
"Xie Yunyun, you wait."
"I'm waiting, what am I waiting for?" Xie Yunyun pressed, when the phone hung up.
For no apparent reason, is he just embarrassed and angry, or is he simply upset?
After pondering for a while without figuring it out, she went out to continue having New Year's Eve dinner and watching TV with her mother.
The capital city.
Sanwa was standing by the window making a phone call, and everyone in the family could see him.
Jin'er was still eager to eavesdrop, but her mother tapped her on the head, which made her reluctantly give up the idea.
Before making the call, Sanwa seemed to be in a pretty good mood, but after the call, he looked visibly resentful.
Her family knew exactly who she was calling.
It's no secret in their family that the third child has been trying all sorts of ways to woo someone these past few months.
Seeing him like this, Erwa couldn't help but tease him.
"What's wrong? Did you run into a wall again?"
Since everyone in the family knew about her situation, Sanwa said resentfully, "Xie Yunyun is going on a blind date! She actually wants to go on a blind date!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him with sympathy.
While feeling sympathetic, Zhao Qinglan couldn't resist mocking her son. "Serves you right, that girl was completely smitten with you back then, and what did you do?"
That's why Sanwa is so unconvinced and lacks confidence.
"Mom, I need to buy a ticket for the next available flight to go see her."
"Have you thought about it?"
"I've thought it through."
"Then go ahead, the family doesn't need you."
"Third Uncle, keep it up!" Jin'er raised her fist.
“Uncle, I support you too,” Xingxing declared.
"Me too, me too! Third Uncle, you better do your best!" Jing'er encouraged.
Okay, Sanwa immediately went back to his room to call and book plane tickets.
During the Spring Festival travel rush, airfares are extremely scarce.
Fortunately, the most sought-after tickets are for the 29th and 30th of the lunar year, while there are still a few first-class tickets available for the first day of the new year.
Without saying a word, Sanwa placed an order.
After booking his flight, he quickly packed his things.
Outside, Zhao Qinglan and the others were also discussing Sanwa.
Early on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
After eating the boiled dumplings, Xie Yunyun and her mother tidied up the house to wait for the guests who would come to pay New Year's visits.
Actually, she hasn't liked the first year of junior high for several years.
It's because everyone who comes to her house wants to know about her personal life.
