Yun Nuan answered Qin Yan's call in the back seat. Jiang Miao was driving, and Guan Mingyue was sitting next to her giving directions. Originally, Guan Mingyue wanted to sit in the back to accompany Yun Nuan.
However, Yun Nuan didn't need it; she sat in the front to show Jiang Miao the navigation.
When the two heard her answer the phone, they turned the music down a bit and glanced at her in the rearview mirror. A glint flashed in Yun Nuan's eyes, and her tone became much happier.
Upon hearing her call her name, both of them knowingly chose to remain silent.
"Okay, I understand."
No, not at all.
"Go ahead and do your work."
"Qin Yan, please focus on your work."
Sometimes she pauses for a long time, but her replies are only three simple words, while she listens to the other person speak.
"Is President Qin always this talkative? I've never heard of him like this before," Guan Mingyue whispered in Jiang Miao's ear.
Jiang Miao glanced at the rearview mirror. Yun Nuan's initial joy had turned into helplessness. The person opposite her wasn't going to finish speaking yet, so she nodded in response somewhat perfunctorily.
"It depends on the person. If it were us, President Qin would probably only reply with one word."
Guan Mingyue looked on with some envy, then sighed and looked away. Love is a strange thing. The man who was called a cold-faced devil by outsiders was actually someone who worried about his girlfriend in every way.
Qin Yan finally finished speaking, and Yun Nuan simply said goodbye.
She put away her phone, and then Guan Mingyue, leaning against the back of the seat, looked at Yun Nuan with a gossipy expression and asked...
"Between you and President Qin, who pursued whom?"
The two got together too suddenly. Yun Nuan had never mentioned having a relationship with him before, but given her personality, she wouldn't say it either. She was just curious about how the two got together.
Yun Nuan was puzzled by what it meant to say who pursued whom, but she still answered honestly.
"No one pursued anyone, so what does it have to do with anything?" Guan Mingyue sat back a little, noticing her innocent and clear eyes. Then, her eyes widened, and she spoke with a hint of shock in them.
"So you two got together naturally? I've always heard that you were betrothed since childhood. So you were following Lin Yu around all this time just to spite President Qin?"
Jiang Miao, who was sitting next to Guan Mingyue, tightened her grip on the steering wheel, her heart skipped a beat, and she turned to Guan Mingyue, speaking somewhat nervously.
"Bright Moon"!
Guan Mingyue realized she had said something wrong, covered her mouth, and gave an awkward laugh.
"Sorry, sorry, I spoke too quickly. I was just curious. It's okay if you don't want to tell me."
Yun Nuan didn't find the question offensive, but she was a little confused by the question about who pursued whom. After thinking for a moment, she answered...
"I don't like Lin Yu. He helped me before, so I foolishly thought he would only be friends with me. I didn't know Qin Yan before that."
Guan Mingyue hadn't expected her to answer, but now that she had, it felt like she'd discovered some earth-shattering secret. Yun Nuan hadn't known Qin Yan before, which meant that the incident had happened in the last few months.
There was so much innocence in her eyes that I felt embarrassed to ask any further. But gossip is something everyone wants to hear, and with her right there beside me, it was a rare opportunity.
"You just mentioned that there was no one who pursued whom between you and President Qin. So how did you two get together? I'm curious, President Qin seems quite nervous about you."
The scenery outside the window flashed by quickly, and Yun Nuan thought of how her heart had been pounding yesterday. She had read so many answers, and one particularly unique one told her that she might be falling for someone.
When faced with the flutter of her heart towards someone she liked, she was too sleepy at the time and put her phone down after just one glance, never having thought about the matter.
She didn't answer, but instead looked at Guan Mingyue with a blank expression and a serious look in her eyes.
What is "liking"?
"Uh..." Guan Mingyue was stumped by her question. She opened her mouth several times but couldn't utter a single word. She scratched her head in frustration, not knowing what to say.
It was right at a traffic light. She pointed at Jiang Miao and said to Yun Nuan...
"Why don't you ask her? I'm a single dog and I don't really know how to answer you. But Jiang Miao is different. She's with Lin Yu now, so she should know what love is."
Jiang Miao, who hadn't intended to participate in their conversation, was dragged into it. She had been listening to their chatter the whole way, but sometimes she felt that Yun Nuan seemed to know everything, yet also knew nothing. She always had perfect answers to some of their questions.
But it's just too perfect and too formulaic, making one suspect that she learned it from books or TV. But it's also strange, how could a normal adult learn these things from books or TV?
Faced with two pairs of eyes yearning for knowledge, she began to organize her thoughts, afraid of teaching the wrong person.
"Liking someone means looking forward to every meeting with them, feeling a sweet warmth welling up from the bottom of your heart when you see them. Your emotions become uncontrollable, your heart inexplicably races, and you want to share everything with them. You feel jealous, sad, and inexplicably timid, but you also feel courage. Liking someone is not just a simple two-word phrase; it's more of a natural thing that happens. It can be love at first sight, or it can be a deep, quiet affection that grows over time."
As Jiang Miao spoke, a joyful smile spread across her face. She might be recalling a certain moment or thinking about someone.
"President Qin clearly likes you," Guan Mingyue said affirmatively after hearing Jiang Miao's words.
She looked up, a hint of curiosity on her face. At that moment, she really was like a studious child, wanting to ask why about everything.
How can you be sure it's love?
"Ah, isn't it obvious? Who would give so many instructions if they didn't like you? Staying at the Sandalwood Palace, arranging bodyguards, and handling every little detail. When you were hospitalized, President Qin was running around, feeding you medicine and such was commonplace. Last time we only helped with a small favor, and President Qin even gave us special treatment. Who would do all this if they didn't like you? What would they be after?"
Guan Mingyue recounted the details in her reply, and Jiang Miao, standing beside her, nodded in agreement, adding to the list.
Yun Nuan thought about it and agreed, but she wasn't quite sure. However, she felt she should confirm what Guan Mingyue had said.
"Yes, Qin Yan likes me."
"Uh..." Guan Mingyue hadn't expected her to be so direct, and after a moment of surprise, she asked again.
"And what about you? What are your feelings towards President Qin?"
Yun Nuan: "Just because he likes me, does that mean I have to like him back?" She asked very seriously.
Now it was Guan Mingyue's turn to be speechless. She looked at Yun Nuan as if she were a warrior, and gave her a thumbs-up.
"No, you're amazing. President Qin has gone to such lengths, and you don't like him?"
Yun Nuan smiled, not intending to tell them any other reasons, and simply replied...
"Who said that? I like Qin Yan."
Guan Mingyue felt that talking to Yun Nuan really required some art of conversation, otherwise she wouldn't know how to respond to her unique and correct answers, which were simply unsolvable.
"You're really taking a big turn in your speech, but when it comes to relationships, you should let things take their natural course. You see, Jiang Miao's situation is different from yours, or rather, everyone's situation is different. Just follow your own pace. Our advice is not very meaningful, just listen to it."
Guan Mingyue suggested that these words should be spoken to her by President Qin, since as outsiders, how could they know the true nature of their relationship?
Seeing that Yun Nuan was really thinking seriously, she blurted out again.
"If President Qin isn't as good as he seems on the surface, then you'd better protect yourself. No matter how much we girls love someone, the most important thing is to love ourselves. Don't be like those saintly heroines on TV."
No matter how much you love someone, you can't lose yourself!
She looked at Yun Nuan and asked seriously.
"Did you remember that?"
