Huo Nan and Liu Yang followed their sister-in-law back to the front yard of Liu's house. His face was still a little burning.
He hadn't been able to stop thinking about or dreaming about that girl these past few days, even while eating or sleeping. He felt like something was wrong with him, like he'd been possessed by an evil spirit. Even his favorite meals, cooked by his sister-in-law, had become distracted.
"Huo Nan, what's wrong with you?" Liu Yuhan couldn't help but ask when he saw that Huo Nan's chopsticks were stuck outside the bowl.
Huo Nan came back to his senses and saw that everyone was looking at him. He blushed in embarrassment. Huo Dong raised his eyebrows.
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine."
"You kid, it's almost written on your face that I have something to do. Tell me what's the matter." How could Huo Dong not understand his own brother?
"Yeah, Honan, why have you been so absent-minded these past two days?"
Liu Yang muttered to himself, "Huo Nan was so absent-minded when they went shopping together yesterday that he could have bumped into the wall while walking. Never mind, let him go shopping on his own later."
"I...I just want to tell my sister-in-law."
"Yan Ping, big brother, please step aside for a while."
Huo Dong looked at Huo Nan without saying anything. After finishing his meal with Liu Yang, he went to the yard.
"What's wrong, Honan? Is there something you can't tell me?"
"Sister-in-law, how does it feel to like someone?" Huo Nan asked in a low voice, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Oh? I like someone. To put it simply, I think about him all the time, sometimes I dream about him, and I feel happy when I think of him. I hope to see him more often."
"Um."
"Does Honan have a girl he's attracted to? You can tell your sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law, I... I keep thinking of Miss Liu Qing recently, I..." Huo Nan's face turned red and he stammered.
"Ah, Qing'er, you've only met once."
"Hmm. I don't know if this is love. Yesterday I went near the school, hoping to run into her... Sister-in-law, am I being too reckless?"
"Haha...silly boy, you fell in love with Qing'er at first sight. You're really attracted to her. And since Qing'er is so outstanding, there are many young men who like her. I heard that many of them want to marry her."
"Ah...sister-in-law, then I, then I..." Huo Nan was a little anxious.
"Huonan, liking someone has to be mutual. Wait until your sister-in-law asks Qing'er what she thinks of you before you say anything, okay?"
"Okay. Thank you, sister-in-law."
"We are family, no need to be polite. You are about to come of age, and Huo Xi is already married. Grandfather, your brother, and your sister-in-law also hope that you will get married soon."
"If you like someone, it means that they are excellent and beautiful, and worthy of your attraction, so there is no need to be embarrassed. And sometimes, fate is something you have to fight for yourself."
"Yes. I understand, sister-in-law."
Liu Yuhan said hello to her mother Huo Dong, and then went to the school with her maid Huo Nan. There she met Liu Qing.
Liu Yuhan took her to their workshop.
"Qing'er, hasn't grandma urged you to get married recently?"
"Oh, sister, don't mention it. I just ran away because I was afraid that my grandmother and great-grandmother would nag me. They have become more talkative recently. They are not like this usually."
"Isn't that out of concern for you? Haven't you found anyone in the past two years?"
"No." Liu Qing's pretty face showed helplessness.
"So what kind of person are you looking for? Tell me about it."
"Yeah. Just be responsible and be worthy of my own opinion. Sis, I can't really explain it."
"Then... I'll introduce you to someone. Do you think they're satisfactory? We can try meeting and chatting first."
"Ah... Sister, are you serious?"
"Really, I'll be your matchmaker."
"Oh. What my sister introduces is naturally good."
"You can't think like that. Only you know whether you're a good match or not. You have to meet and spend more time with each other to know and understand each other. What others say may not be accurate."
"Um."
"You've met the man I'm talking about."
"Ah? I've seen it." Liu Qing looked confused.
"It's my brother-in-law, Honan. Didn't I bring him and my brother to the school a few days ago?"
"Oh. It's him..."
"Also, he asked me to ask you. He has a very good impression of you. I noticed that he was uneasy these past two days, so I asked him and he told me this."
"Ah..." Liu Qing blushed suddenly.
"Qing'er, don't be embarrassed. Let me tell you about my brother-in-law. He's two years older than you, and you've met him. He's tall and handsome, cheerful and lively, with good character and no bad habits. He's never been with a girl before, so this is probably his first time to open up to love."
Liu Qing couldn't help but laugh when he thought of his silly look that day.
"He's been in the army with his eldest brother for over four years and is now a captain. I've known him since I was 13, and I think he's a responsible person I can entrust my life to. Of course, whether you like him or not depends on whether you have feelings for each other. After all, marriage is a serious matter, and two people are going to spend their whole lives together."
"Um."
"Well, shall I ask him to come in so you two can talk? He's outside the academy."
"Ah...is that too fast?"
"Because he doesn't have much time left in the capital, he must be anxious. So, would you consider meeting him?"
"Then ask him to come over." Liu Qing took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
The door of the study was open. Huo Nan walked into the study and saw the girl who made his heart beat faster at first sight.
"You..." They both opened their mouths at the same time.
"You say." Huo Nan tried to act as normal as possible.
"I've heard from my sister, why?"
"I like you and want to marry you."
"Ah...you are too..."
