He Ruiqi, as the second grandson in the family, not only inherited the family's excellent genes but also possesses enviable talent and background. Handsome, with an outstanding temperament and excellent academic performance, coupled with his family's wealth and influence, he naturally became the object of many women's affections.
On campus, He Ruiqi always attracted a lot of attention. Every move he made exuded confidence and charm; whether in a quiet corner of the library or displaying his agile figure on the sports field, he was always the center of attention. However, He Ruiqi always maintained a polite distance from these suitors, his mind seemingly focused more on his studies and his family's future.
Huang Haitang had naturally heard about all of this. She knew how popular her grandson was at school, but she was more concerned about He Ruiqi's feelings and choices. In her view, while external conditions were important, a person's inner kindness and sense of responsibility towards their family were the most precious things.
"Ruichi, you're so handsome and good at studying, you must have a lot of girls who like you, right?" Huang Haitang asked jokingly at a family gathering.
He Ruiqi's smile held a hint of helplessness as he gently shook his head: "Grandma, please stop joking with me. I really haven't thought about these things right now. I just want to finish my studies and do something for the family in the future."
Huang Haitang nodded in satisfaction, admiring her grandson's maturity and composure: "Good, good, Grandma won't force you. But remember, whatever decision you make, the family will support you."
He Ruilin, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but interject: "Brother, don't be too picky, or you'll end up with only me by your side for the rest of your life."
The family laughed at He Ruilin's humor, creating a relaxed and warm atmosphere. He Ruilin knew that no matter what choices he made, his family's love and support would always be his strong backing. And he would continue to live a wonderful life in his own way.
He Ruiqi's smile seemed especially warm amidst the laughter of his family, his eyes revealing a firm belief in the future and deep affection for them. He knew that wherever he went, his family's support and understanding would always be his strongest backing.
"Ruilin, don't joke with me." He Ruiqi gently patted his sister's head, his eyes full of affection. "I'm waiting for you to bring back a good role model."
He Ruilin made a face and replied playfully, "Don't worry, brother, I won't let you down."
Watching the interaction between the brother and sister, Huang Haitang's smile blossomed like a flower. She knew that these two children were her pride; they had their own ideals and pursuits, and she only needed to support them silently from the sidelines.
The television drama continued to depict the sweetness and turbulence of love, while the large family in the living room enjoyed their own happy time. Although He Ruiqi's mind wasn't entirely focused on romance yet, he knew that one day he would meet the person he could spend his life with.
Before that, he preferred to dedicate his time and energy to his studies and the family business, not only for his own future but also for the glory and legacy of his family. He believed that when he was ready, love would naturally appear at the most opportune time and place.
As night deepened, the TV drama gradually came to an end, but the lights in the house remained warm and bright. He Ruiqi and He Ruilin helped their grandmother tidy up the living room, and the family said goodnight to each other before returning to their rooms to rest, leaving behind a room full of warmth and beautiful expectations for the future.
In He Ruiqi's heart, there was a secret: a girl he had been secretly watching for a long time. She wasn't the type to be easily spotted in a crowd, but her talent, her smile, and her serious attitude towards life all captivated He Ruiqi.
This girl, named Lin Wan'er, was He Ruiqi's college classmate. She always sat alone in a corner of the library, immersed in books. Her focus and tranquility attracted He Ruiqi in a special way. He had often pretended to sit near her in the library by chance, secretly observing her profile as she read. Her focused expression captivated him.
He Ruiqi was filled with contradictions. On the one hand, he did not want to let personal emotional issues distract him from his studies and family responsibilities; on the other hand, he longed to get closer to Lin Wan'er and understand her inner world.
During a campus event, He Ruiqi finally mustered up his courage, walked up to Lin Wan'er, and said in his gentle but slightly nervous voice, "Hello, I'm He Ruiqi. Can we get to know each other?"
Lin Wan'er looked up at him with a hint of surprise in her bright eyes, then gave him a friendly smile: "Hello, I know you, you are He Ruiqi. I often see you in the library."
This brief exchange left He Ruiqi deeply moved. He realized that his attention to Lin Wan'er was no longer one-sided; she might have noticed him too. This discovery filled him with joy and anticipation.
However, He Ruiqi was not in a hurry to pursue her. He knew that true feelings needed time to cultivate. He began to try to communicate more with Lin Wan'er, from academics to hobbies. They had more and more to talk about, and their understanding of each other deepened.
Huang Haitang noticed these changes in her grandson. Instead of asking directly, she said in a relaxed tone at a family gathering, "Ruiqi, if you have a girl you like, why not bring her back to Grandma to meet?"
A hint of shyness flashed across He Ruiqi's face, and he smiled as he replied, "Grandma, the time has come, I will."
As time passed, the relationship between He Ruiqi and Lin Wan'er subtly changed. From their initial acquaintance to their current understanding, every step they took was so natural and firm. He Ruiqi knew that when he was ready, he would express his feelings to Lin Wan'er, and he also believed that no matter the outcome, it would be a valuable experience in his life.
