"Him..."
"I went on a blind date with him before. He seemed like a very honest person, but unfortunately, it never worked out because he said he liked men..."
Chu Xiaorou watched as Qin Yu carried the noodles to Xia Lan, looking tenderly at the other woman, and her face instantly darkened.
"What's going on? Didn't he say he liked men?"
Chu Xiaorou watched as Qin Yu thoughtfully stirred Xia Lan's noodles and even blew on them for her; such actions were clearly the kind of tenderness one would show to a lover.
Didn't he say he liked men?
How could he treat her like that?
"Are you kidding me? The way he treats that woman next to him, he doesn't seem like someone who likes men at all. They're clearly a couple!"
Those who were with Chu Xiaorou could see from the interaction between Qin Yu and Xia Lan that they were clearly lovers.
And their relationship is very good.
"I don't know. When he told me, he said he liked men, which is why I gave up!"
Chu Xiaorou looked gloomy. She had taken a liking to Qin Yu at first sight, but Qin Yu had always been indifferent to her. She thought that was just Qin Yu's personality.
Later, she really liked his face, and she could tolerate his indifference.
After all, there wasn't a single man in the army who was as good-looking as him.
Everyone thought they would become a couple, and she thought so too.
But in the end, Qin Yu actually told her that he liked men.
Feeling deceived, Chu Xiaorou suppressed her anger and slowly walked to Xia Lan's table.
Xia Lan was eating pickled mustard green noodles, and for some reason, she had a particular craving for something sour today.
Sultan, who was sitting opposite Xia Lan, saw Chu Xiaorou walking towards them and gently bumped into Xia Lan.
"Um?"
Xia Lan looked up and saw Chu Xiaorou.
"Excuse me, may I interrupt you for a minute? I'd like to ask Qin Yu a few questions, is that alright?"
Chu Xiaorou glanced at Xia Lan, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes, and then asked Xia Lan softly.
"Oh, sure!"
Xia Lan glanced at Qin Yu, who had a blank expression and a look of resistance, and readily agreed.
Qin Yu pursed his lips and glanced at Xia Lan. Chu Xiaorou said to Qin Yu.
"Shall we talk outside or here?"
"Let's say it here!"
Qin Yu said calmly.
He had nothing to hide from Xia Lan, so he might as well let her listen!
Why did you lie to me in the first place?
Chu Xiaorou looked at Qin Yu with a hurt expression.
"Everyone says we're a perfect match, and I like you too, so why did you lie to me and say you like men?"
Xia Lan, Sudan, and Zhao Pandi exchanged glances and a look.
Xia Lan pretended not to care, but her ears perked up quietly.
"...It's not like it's an animal, does it need to be bred?"
Xia Lan couldn't help but mutter a complaint under her breath.
A vein bulged on Chu Xiaorou's forehead as she pretended not to hear Xia Lan's words.
She stared at Qin Yu, needing an explanation.
Qin Yu pursed his lips and glanced at Chu Xiaorou.
"Because I don't like you."
Qin Yu said calmly.
At the time, it was only because his superior kept urging him to see Chu Xiaorou that he had no choice but to go see her.
Who knew she would start preparing to marry him?
Chu Xiaorou was indeed a good catch, but Qin Yu had absolutely no interest in a woman like her, and couldn't imagine her living with him in the village.
Especially when he only tentatively mentioned going back to the village, her expression changed drastically.
Qin Yu simply couldn't stand that look.
"What's wrong with me? What makes me inferior to her?"
Chu Xiaorou's face darkened, and she pointed at Xia Lan, who blinked innocently.
"You can't say that. I'm not like you; I'm not an object. Why make comparisons?"
Xia Lan took a bite of noodles, then raised an eyebrow at Chu Xiaorou, clearly disagreeing with her statement.
"Besides! Do you even know anything about him? You know nothing, you haven't even gotten to know what kind of person he is, and you're already planning to marry him? Aren't you being a bit too hasty?"
Xia Lan looked at Chu Xiaorou. She was truly speechless. She had only met Qin Yu once, seen his face, and decided to marry him?
Is it really just about looks?
"What else is there to look at? Isn't marriage just about finding a good man to marry?"
Chu Xiaorou looked at Xia Lan with a completely bewildered expression.
Isn't marriage about finding a like-minded man to build your own little family together?
She liked Qin Yu's face, his character was reliable, her family was well-off, and she was the most beautiful woman in the performing arts troupe. How was she not good enough for him?
"Of course, we also need to consider character, whether the two people have common topics, whether their values align, and whether they are of one mind."
Xia Lan frowned.
"Marriage is a major life event; how can it be decided after just one or two meetings?"
"That's exactly what my mom is like! She married my dad, and isn't she living a very happy life now?"
Chu Xiaorou disagreed. She had always grown up watching her parents' loving relationship and felt that when she got married, she should find a man like her father, just like her mother.
Managing your own happy little family.
Qin Yu was the perfect candidate her father had introduced to her through a friend, so she took a liking to him at first sight and agreed to marry him.
"..." Xia Lan looked at the innocent Chu Xiaorou in front of her and suddenly became speechless.
She has never experienced it, so even if you ask her to understand it, no matter how much you talk until your throat is dry, she probably still won't get it.
