Ye Peng suddenly sat up, his dark circles under his eyes indicating he hadn't slept well all night.
"What's impossible? Back then, neither my brother nor sister-in-law agreed. My sister-in-law was even engaged, but they ended up together, didn't they?"
Yinhua pursed her lips: "That's because they truly love each other. Although I don't understand love and romance, Jin'er's feelings for you... are really not like that. The way she looks at you is not like how my sister-in-law looks at my brother, and it's even less like how my sister looked at Zhou Ziyang back then."
"What's different? You just don't know how to see it!"
Yinhua's face stiffened slightly: "Alright. I won't read it, then you two chat. Jin'er invites you to meet her under the jujube tree halfway up the mountain after 7:30 AM."
Ye Peng was then greatly alarmed: "Really?"
Yinhua no longer wanted to talk to him and turned to leave.
Ye Peng jumped up with joy.
Jin'er's request to meet him alone proved that his feelings were correct! They loved each other.
Ye Peng jumped off the bed excitedly and happily tidied up.
She even specially picked out a lake-blue silk dress from the wardrobe and made sure she was clean and tidy.
Before the appointed time, he ran to wait under the jujube tree halfway up the mountain.
...
Ye Jin'er arrived at the mountainside on time.
Seeing Ye Peng dozing under a tree in the distance, she turned around and saw Ye Caiping and Huan'er hiding behind the thorn bushes of a tree not far away. Besides them, Shanzi had also come.
Ye Jin'er then started walking forward.
Reaching the tree, she gently nudged him awake: "Third cousin?"
"Uh..." Ye Peng woke up, saw Ye Jin'er, wiped the drool from the corner of his lips, and jumped up in surprise: "Jin'er, you're here."
Seeing his surprised expression, Ye Jin'er looked a little embarrassed and said, "Yes."
Ye Peng stared at her delicate face, his delight growing, his smile widening to his core: "You invited me here because..."
"Oh, I'm here to make things clear with you." Ye Jin'er said, taking a deep breath and looking at him seriously: "Third cousin, we are just siblings, don't overthink it."
Ye Peng's smile froze: "What did you say..."
Ye Jin'er frowned and repeated, "You and I are cousins, and we can only be cousins. There can't be any other relationship."
"Why are you saying this?" Ye Peng refused to believe it. "Is it because your aunt doesn't approve of us and forced you to say this? I'm going to find your aunt right now. Why can my older brother and sister-in-law do it, but we can't!"
Ye Jin'er choked, "Don't be impulsive. This has nothing to do with my mother; it's my own decision. I don't like you; we only have a brother-sister relationship."
"Impossible! I clearly felt it, you like me! I like you too. We liked each other from the start, everything was fine, why did it suddenly change?" Ye Peng was heartbroken.
