Racheal particularly liked this about He Xiaoguo: he was very considerate of others' feelings. Even when skiing, if he fell, He Xiaoguo would use his small strength to pull him up and comfort him, telling him not to feel ashamed. Thinking of his own twelve-year-old sister who could only drink milk and cry, he couldn't help but envy He Jing. It must be so great to have a younger brother like that.
For a moment, Racheal had a thought of taking He Xiaoguo away and making him his younger brother, but how could he bear to hurt such a cute child? So he just sat on the snow and waited with He Xiaoguo for He Jing and Yan Hanxi to return.
After skating for a while, He Jing and Yan Hanxi finally returned, but the atmosphere between them was a bit strange.
Yan Hanxi had a warm smile on her face, while He Jing looked completely awkward. It wasn't until she saw He Xiaoguo that she felt a little better and called out gently, "Xiaoguo, are you tired from skating? Let's go back and come back this afternoon."
Before I knew it, the morning had passed, and it was lunchtime.
He Xiaoguo rushed into He Jing's arms, sweetly called out "Sister", and then said, "Brother Racheal invited me to his house to play."
He Jing was a little surprised, but not entirely. She had heard that Canadians were hospitable, but she didn't expect them to be this hospitable.
but……
“Mr. Racheal’s home must be quite far from here. Why don’t you come to our place for a meal first?”
He Jing said in English.
Racheal laughed and readily agreed, "OK!"
After He Jing finished speaking, she realized that she had not yet obtained Yan Hanxi's consent. Just as she was about to look at Yan Hanxi, she heard Yan Hanxi chatting happily with Racheal.
They switched to French as they spoke, but He Jing couldn't understand it. Yan Hanxi, however, spoke it fluently, so He Jing stopped listening and slid slowly behind them with He Xiaoguo.
Back at the manor on the mountain, Racheal saw the magnificent house but didn't exclaim in surprise. Instead, he followed Yan Hanxi inside as if nothing was amiss. He sat down on the sofa, warmed himself by the fireplace, and then said in a cheerful tone, "So warm!"
He Xiaoguo ran over, sat down next to him, and grabbed a handful of candy from the fruit plate for him.
During the meal, Racheal surprisingly praised the Chinese food. When he tasted the rich and flavorful carrot and mutton soup, he said in a nostalgic tone, "I've been to China for a long time. Chinese food, very good!"
He Jing scooped a spoonful of corn into He Xiaoguo's bowl and casually asked about Racheal's profession.
Racheal replied: "I'm anist."
He Jing's hand holding the spoon suddenly trembled, and she looked up in disbelief.
He Xiaoguo was completely unaware of all the surprises. She just looked at He Jing with confusion and asked in a childish voice, "What does 'P-A-nest' mean, sister?"
He Jing composed herself and slowly said, "It's the pianist's idea."
He Xiaoguo exclaimed "Eh!" with great delight: "Really? Brother Racheal can play the piano too?"
He Jing didn't answer; her feelings were extremely complicated.
According to classic plot points in novels, this Racheal is probably not just an unknown pianist, but a piano master who has held concerts in China and even around the world. That's why he can be indifferent to the mansion and look at those luxurious decorations as if they were flowers.
He simply went skiing abroad and struck up a conversation with a foreign friend, and that's how he met such an extraordinary person.
He Xiaoguo truly lives up to her reputation as the person who would become a real heiress with a golden finger in the original story. Her fate is... truly amazing!
