Si Wan knew what Gou Xi meant by her hesitant words, and she also knew why Gou Xi had always refused to accept Lu Ze.
But perhaps because he and Fu Wenzhi had confirmed their relationship, he suddenly felt that what Gou Xi had been worried about might not be as serious as she had imagined.
Perhaps he was just too anxious, which is why he overcomplicated things. Who knows?
But Si Wan naturally wouldn't say such a thing at this moment; instead, she listened attentively to Gou Xi's complaints.
Gou Xi may not have come here to seek a solution, but rather to vent her emotions.
She wasn't really careless or clueless; she just didn't pay attention to small details.
"There are some girls who, I don't know what they heard, said that I've been stringing Lu Ze along, so they came to me and said some ambiguous things, as you know. I usually don't want to take these things to heart, but..."
Si Wan could understand what Gou Xi meant by saying that.
If Gou Xi had no feelings for Lu Ze whatsoever, then those girls saying such things would probably just be harmless slander to her.
On the contrary, Gou Xi knew clearly that she liked Lu Ze, so their words were nothing more than stabbing Gou Xi's heart again and again.
Forced by circumstances, she rejected Lu Ze time and time again, only to be met with accusations that these people knew nothing.
Who wouldn't feel sad and upset in this situation?
So Si Wan just listened quietly, occasionally handing over tissues to wipe away Gou Xi's tears.
"To be honest, sometimes I think, why don't we just tell Lu Ze and let him get engaged to someone else?"
"Since I've decided to take this path, I naturally won't easily change my mind. And if I can't change my mind, their family probably wouldn't want a daughter-in-law who would make them live in fear."
Si Wan remained silent for a moment, then, remembering that she was also half a member of the Lu family, she couldn't help but say a few good words for Lu Ze.
"Actually, that's not the case. The Lu family isn't as feudal as you imagine."
The Lu family was not only not feudal, but also somewhat enlightened.
Yes, enlightened.
If they weren't enlightened, they wouldn't have allowed Lu Yao from the Lu family to take charge of the entire Lu Corporation.
This has led to their only son struggling in the entertainment industry, and he's still unmarried even in his thirties.
Isn't this another kind of enlightened parent?
However, it is clear that Gou Xi, who is now in a state of logical self-consistency, cannot use these words as leverage to be with Lu Ze.
Gou Xi could only see the one thing she believed in, and that was...
She will encounter threats.
Once she encounters danger, Lu Ze will return to living alone. He will be lonely and isolated, and he won't be able to be a good partner.
Thinking of this, Si Wan suddenly spoke up.
"But have you ever thought about the regrets that might result if you never start anything?"
When Gou Xi heard Si Wan say such a thing, she looked at her with some surprise: "Why, why do you say that?"
Si Wan took out a tissue and wiped away the tear stains hanging at the corners of Gou Xi's eyes, then said, "Have you forgotten? My parents had the same relationship."
"But did my father regret it?"
"He has never regretted marrying my mother."
"My mother was very happy after her marriage. Everyone was pursuing their ideals and did not let their loved ones down. Although my mother always said that he was not a good father, the time they spent together could not be bought with any words or money."
"Should we give up on a relationship simply because we're afraid of a certain possible outcome?"
“You haven’t even started, and you’re already thinking about the end.”
“Xixi, I remember you weren’t such a pessimistic person. You were usually the most sunny and cheerful person.”
“Among us, you are the one who always forges ahead and never backs down.”
Si Wan has already said all that.
Gou Xi's expression was naturally not the unhappy look she had just had; instead, she burst into laughter through her tears.
She reached out and hugged Si Wan tightly, then said in a tearful voice, "You were already good at making people happy even before you could speak. Now that you can speak, your words are even more eloquent, which often brings joy to people."
"She's good at sweet-talking people."
However, Si Wan shook her head and said seriously, "Why would you think I'm just trying to make you happy? I'm clearly stating the truth."
Si Wan's expression was always sincere, and her words were always believable.
Gou Xi lowered her head somewhat embarrassed. Although she had just complained so much, she was actually thinking about moving forward again.
She has always been brave, like a sunflower. If she were to back down because of some words, she wouldn't be herself.
and……
Gou Xi thought about what Si Wan had just said and actually believed it.
It would be truly regrettable to refuse to start because of fear of the outcome.
Their relationship had clearly reached a critical point, and Lu Ze's feelings would certainly not stop at friendship.
She didn't want to lose Lu Ze.
I don't want to have any regrets.
Having thought this through, Gou Xi already had her answer, and she was about to begin a new round of questioning.
She glanced at Si Wan and then said, "Stop talking about me, talk about yourself. Your face was so red just now, were you really not arguing with Fu Wenzhi?"
Si Wan saw that the topic had returned to her, and now was no longer the time to hide it.
So he spoke up frankly.
"I'm with Fu Wenzhi."
"Oh." Gou Xi replied instinctively, as if she hadn't quite caught on.
Then suddenly her eyes widened, and she shouted, "You two are together?!"
Her voice was so loud that it hurt Si Wan's ears.
However, Si Wan was not unhappy; on the contrary, she found Gou Xi's attitude rather strange.
After all, Gong Xiao realized that her relationship with Fu Wenzhi was different, so why didn't Gou Xi, who was so close to her, realize it?
So he asked, "Didn't you realize that?"
Gou Xi had no idea how much this was possible!
Fu Wenzhi has always been a hypocrite.
There's one attitude towards Si Wan, and another attitude towards others.
Because this attitude has never changed from beginning to end, Gou Xi subconsciously assumed that their relationship was probably just a friendship, and that it would never change in this lifetime.
Who would have thought that their relationship would suddenly change from friendship to something else!
How can I possibly accept this?
She had only just realized the nature of her relationship with Lu Ze, and now her friends had changed too?
