Your parents are definitely worried and heartbroken, but out of respect for you, they haven't taken any drastic measures to find out the reason.
I'm leaving tomorrow night. Are you really so heartless as to let me go on my way with unease and worry?
Qin Zhiman bit her lower lip and looked up at Qin Zhiheng, who was a little taller than her. "If I tell you, can you keep it a secret for me? Don't tell Mom and Dad."
Qin Zhiheng understood that this meant he was about to open up, so he quickly raised his hand and swore, "Brother swears, heaven knows, earth knows, you know, and I know, if..."
Qin Zhiman pulled his hand away, stopping him from continuing.
Then, glancing around, she whispered, "Actually... I've fallen for someone."
Qin Zhiheng narrowed his eyes, sensing that, just as he had guessed, he was indeed encountering problems in his relationship.
Instead of asking about the other party's conditions and circumstances, he asked, "And then?"
Perhaps it was Qin Zhiheng's composed response that gave Qin Zhiman confidence and strength.
It's possible that once you start talking, the rest of the words become easier to say.
"Then, I felt that he probably liked me too. Later, we started corresponding, but something unexpected happened. Maybe I was a little too hasty and scared him, because he never replied to me again..."
Qin Zhiheng had clenched his fists, mentally prepared for a very serious situation.
Upon hearing what her sister said, she subconsciously let go of her hand and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He organized his thoughts, "Could you tell my brother what the other person does? Where are they now?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhiman immediately looked at Qin Zhiheng warily, "What do you want to do by asking these questions?"
Qin Zhiheng was almost laughing in exasperation. "Look at you, why are you so nervous? Even if I found out, could I go to them? What reason could I give? Go and question them about why they didn't reply to my sister's letter?"
Qin Zhiman belatedly realized that she had been overly paranoid and immediately felt embarrassed.
"Brother, I just... don't want to cause him any trouble. After all, liking someone is my own business, and it's his freedom not to reply."
“I understand.” Qin Zhiheng gestured. “You’re right to think this way. But I also want to say that sincerity can move mountains. If you really like someone, don’t give up easily.”
Of course, don't wallow in self-pity. In this life, you must love yourself first, then love others. Look how pathetic you've become because of this; it breaks our hearts to see you like this. And the other person doesn't even know—is it all worth it?
Qin Zhiman felt enlightened, as if she had been awakened to some things.
"Brother, I was wrong. I won't make you worry or feel sorry for me anymore."
Qin Zhiheng patted her shoulder gently twice and said with relief, "That's more like it. Don't keep things bottled up inside in the future. You can write a letter or call your brother. Even if I can't offer advice, I can still comfort you."
