After swallowing the food in her mouth, Lin Xuanjiao looked at Ji Songqing with some doubt: "You don't want to eat anymore?"
There was confusion in her eyes. This dish was so delicious! She herself hadn't eaten enough! He, a grown man, didn't eat anymore, which made her seem like she had a big appetite.
Ji Songqing looked at Lin Xuanjiao and understood her expression almost instantly. "You eat! I'll finish after you finish. We won't waste any food."
"Let's eat together! It's not right for you to eat after I finish eating!"
Lin Xuanjiao did not accept Ji Songqing's suggestion this time. She felt it was too strange to let others eat her leftovers, even if they were blood relatives.
Ji Songqing finally picked up the chopsticks and ate with Lin Xuanjiao. It wasn't that he didn't want to eat, but he was worried about Shi Chengyu, so he couldn't eat anymore.
Since Jiaojiao asked him to eat, he would eat it too! Really! He knew Jiaojiao must care about him very much, Ji Songqing thought happily in his heart.
Seeing that Lin Xuanjiao had almost finished eating, Ji Songqing asked, "Jiaojiao, do you really not care about that kid Shi Chengyu anymore?"
Lin Xuanjiao sighed helplessly. Here it comes again. Ever since she met her uncle's family, no one has not asked her this question.
"Of course I don't care. What's so good about him? I don't want to be with him anymore!"
When Ji Songqing heard this, he slammed the table excitedly. Finally! Finally, this day has come! He has been waiting for this day for too long. Who is Shi Chengyu? Why would he give such a cold shoulder to his cousin, who is doted on by his whole family?
He originally thought that it would take a long time for Chengyu to wait for Lin Xuanjiao to give up, and there would be no hope. Unexpectedly, he got a surprise this time, and there was no hope at all.
Seeing Ji Songqing unable to conceal his joy, Lin Xuanjiao couldn't help but ask, "Is it really that important? Are you that happy?"
Ji Songqing bared his big white teeth. "Of course. I thought I'd never see the day you gave up on Shi Chengyu, but you suddenly said you weren't interested in him anymore. That's great! I've disliked Shi Chengyu for a long time, so why would he be so rude to you?"
When Lin Xuanjiao heard the name Shi Chengyu, she couldn't help but think of the "Lin Xuanjiao" who was living in her place. They were all happy that they gave up Shi Chengyu, so would "Lin Xuanjiao" give up the man she had liked for more than ten years?
Probably! After all, when she said that Shi Chengyu, the male protagonist of the book, would marry the female protagonist Gu Xingzhu, "Lin Xuanjiao" cursed Shi Chengyu a lot, but with tears in her eyes.
So I guess I like him, right? But the love isn't as deep as people around me think. After all, we grew up together, and this kind of friendship can't be easily severed even if it's just friends, let alone knowing from childhood that we'll be husband and wife in the future.
Lin Xuanjiao ate the last bit of white rice in her bowl. Sigh! She still couldn't understand these love affairs. Her understanding of the relationship between "Lin Xuanjiao" and Shi Chengyu was more based on her experience reading novels. She had never been in love in her life!
Even though dating was popular on campus, she had no interest in participating. It was not because she was against finding a boyfriend, but because she had not met anyone who piqued her interest.
With her personality, if she meets someone she likes, she will probably take the initiative and ask that person whether he likes her. If the other person does not agree, then she will let it go. She is not the type of person who can cling to others.
But Ji Songqing suddenly mentioned whether he had told his aunt, which made Lin Xuanjiao pause. That's right! She hadn't told Lin Xuanjiao's family about this yet.
Thinking of "Lin Xuanjiao" in her world and how hard she tried to play her, Lin Xuanjiao felt a little guilty. They had clearly agreed to take care of each other's families, but in the end she forgot about it. She felt really sorry for "Lin Xuanjiao".
"I haven't told you yet! I'll call you when I get back."
Ji Songqing continued to remind her worriedly, "Don't forget to tell Auntie to cancel the engagement! The sooner you tell her, the better. What if you run into Shi Chengyu and your old feelings rekindle?"
Lin Xuanjiao was very upset. Even if her old feelings for Shi Chengyu rekindled, it should be "Lin Xuanjiao" and not her. She really had no interest in Shi Chengyu. Although he was handsome, he just didn't touch her heart, so she definitely wouldn't have any thoughts about Shi Chengyu.
But they were really hoping that "Lin Xuanjiao" and Shi Chengyu would break off their engagement! Look at them, those who didn't know would think they were making a fortune.
It was also because Ji Songqing couldn't hear Lin Xuanjiao's inner thoughts, otherwise he would definitely answer: "Of course it's more exciting than making a fortune!"
Imagine that you have raised a beautiful, sweet and lovely daughter. You would not want her to suffer any injustice and would want to give her the best things in the world.
As a result, this pampered girl grew up and tried her best to please a man. However, the man not only did not care about her, but was also indifferent to her. Not only did she not listen to their advice, but she also ran away with the man and went to the countryside as an educated youth. Her parents would be depressed to death if they were in her place.
Ji Songqing is not Lin Xuanjiao's father, so he doesn't know how his usually serious uncle feels when faced with his cousin's behavior of throwing herself at him. He doesn't have a daughter either, so he can't empathize with her.
But when he saw Lin Xuanjiao, who had grown up little by little in his eyes, following a man and trying to please him, Ji Songqing felt suffocated in his heart, but he had no way to vent this suffocation. After all, the man had already said that he was not interested in his cousin, and it was his cousin who rushed up to him.
Ji Songqing knew how many people had ridiculed Lin Xuanjiao behind her back because of this behavior. Even though he didn't go to Beijing often, he had heard these rumors even in this small town. Of course, it was not ruled out that some people disliked him and so found these things to disgust him.
If the person who told him the news had this idea, then Ji Songqing could congratulate him for successfully making him disgusted. He also hated Lin Xuanjiao for not living up to her expectations and for not being a good beauty like herself, but instead rushing to humiliate herself.
Back then, when he found out Lin Xuanjiao had gone to the countryside with Shi Chengyu, he was furious. Why didn't he stay in the city and go down there and suffer with a man? Later, thinking about national policy, Lin Xuanjiao's going to the countryside was understandable. Given Lin Xuanjiao's family's position, if she had done anything against the country, her opponents would have immediately taken action.
But why did it have to be with Shi Chengyu? Ji Songqing kept shouting this sentence in his heart at that time, and even after that he did not forget to ask Lin Xuanjiao, of course the result was not so good.
