When Nanxi saw Qiaoqiao emerging from the fluctuating crowd, she felt an urge to break into tears.
She rushed over and buried herself in Qiaoqiao’s arms without uttering a word, soaking Qiaoqiao’s eyes with unshed tears.
Qiaoqiao pulled her away and said, “Alright now, did you not see I am totally fine?
There are too many people watching, those who know us will think we are devoted sisters, and those who have no idea might even assume us to be bosom buddies in love!”
For better or worse, Nanxi immediatelyughed off her tears.
What in the world was that all about…
Qiaoqiao then invited everyone to dinner, expressing that she was “indebted to everyone for surviving such a catastrophe.”
Nanxi awkwardly grinned, joining the others in their collective happiness.
After all, everyone was delighted to have Qiaoqiao back!
Qiaoqiao had drunk heavily, and was utterly intoxicated.
Nanxi had to escort her back home.
Qiaoqiao couldn’t keep still on the bus ride, mumbling nonsense the entire time.
Nanxi, looking bothered, asked the bus driver to take them to Qiaoqiao’s apartment.
It would certainly cause Qiaoqiao’s uncle and grandmother undue worry if she was sent back to the Liang family home in such a drunken state.
With narrowed eyes, a disoriented Qiaoqiao demanded more alcohol.
She was proving to be quite a handful for Nanxi.
Despite her slender build, Qiaoqiao’s height of 1.72 meters made her unexpectedly heavy to manage.
“Cousin, could you behave yourself?
We’re nearly there,” Nanxi sighed.
“Nanxi?” Liang Qiaoqiao opened her eyes, her dreamy gaze filled with teary shimmer.
Her ruby lips gleamed enticingly, and she looked breath-takingly beautiful.
Nanxi inwardly thanked her luck that it was she who was by Qiaoqiao’s side.
If it had been any man holding her this way, he would likely have been unable to resist the urge to kiss her.
“Yes, Cousin, I’m Nanxi, please stop fidgeting…
we’re nearly there!” Nanxi replied.
But Qiaoqiao didn’t seem to hear her, instead stretching out her hand to touch Nanxi’s face, and looking utterly lost, she mumbled, “Nanxi, I’m sorry…
really sorry.
I didn’t mean to deceive you.”
Nanxi frowned confusingly and asked, “What have you deceived me about?”
Qiaoqiao was momentarily taken aback, “What did I deceive you about?
uhm… What did I deceive you about?”
Then she shook her head, “No…
I can’t tell you, it’s a secret…
I can’t tell you.”
As the words slipped out, she began to cry, clinging to Nanxi’s neck and refusing to let go.
Nanxi pondered, thinking of how Qiaoqiao’s antics reminded her of a heartbroken lover, and how she kept spouting drunken nonsense.
She felt she knew her cousin well: Qiaoqiao was incredibly naive and hot-tempered, yet also kindhearted.
Importantly, she had always treated Nanxi exceptionally well.
Although Qiaoqiao is just her cousin, in Nanxi’s heart, she is more significant than a biological sister.
The next day, when Qiaoqiao woke up, it was around ten in the morning, and Nanxi was engrossed in writing her novel.
Nursing a slight headache, Qiaoqiao tried to go over some of the things that urred the previous day.
The memories were hazy, but she had the nagging feeling that she had said something she shouldn’t have.
She nced at Nanxi, who appeared not to notice anything unusual.
Clearing her throat, she thought that perhaps she had been overthinking things.
“There’s food in the kitchen, just heat it up a bit and you can eat!” Nanxi dered without looking back, fully focused on her typing.
“Dieting,” Qiaoqiao said dismissively and ambled away.
Nanxi frowned and watched Qiaoqiao walk away, her figure full of inherent elegance.
“Dieting, huh?
If she diets any more, she might just sprout wings and fly,” Nanxi mumbled to herself.
At noon, they both went to the Liang family home.
The return of Qiaoqiao made Liang Youquan quite jubnt.
He prepared a wide array of dishes, but the old woman’s gaze wandered between her granddaughter and her grandniece, finally settling on Qiaoqiao.
“Qiaoqiao, you’re 27 this year,” shemented.
“When are you going to bring a nice young man home to make grandma happy?”
“Cough!” Liang Qiaoqiao, who was in the middle of eating, choked on her food.
Addressing the elderlydy, she said, “Grandma, I’m not in a hurry.
I want to stay by your side for a few more years!”
The olddy wasn’t pleased at hearing this.
“You’re 27 and not in a hurry?
Do you really want to wait until you’re 30…”
After speaking, she sighed, “Qiaoqiao, I’m not pressuring you, but you really can’t wait any longer because of your age.
When I was your age, I had already married your grandfather when I was 13…”
Liang Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes, knowing her grandmother was about to bring up her own marriage at the age of 13 once again.
She wasn’t annoyed, she just felt sorry for her grandmother.
Even at this age, she was still worried about her!
After dinner, Liang Qiaoqiao needed to drop by the club.
Nanxi was going with her, so Liang Qiaoqiao drove her there.
In the car, Nanxi asked Liang Qiaoqiao, “Cousin, honestly, I think your standards are too high.
Men are all more or less the same, just find someone you don’t dislike!”
Liang Qiaoqiao nced at her, “From what you’re saying, it seems like you don’t have deep feelings for Li Weihuan either.
At most, you don’t dislike him, right?”
Nanxi frowned, “That’s not it!”
Liang Qiaoqiao insisted, “Then tell me, what exactly are your feelings for Li Weihuan?”
Nanxi didn’t answer.
Liang Qiaoqiao took one hand off the steering wheel and waved Nanxi over.
Nanxi leaned closer, and Liang Qiaoqiao whispered, “Nanxi, tell me the truth, have you and Li Weihuan ever…you know!”
You know?
Nanxi was stunned and confused, “Which one?”
Liang Qiaoqiao was frustrated, “Do I bloody well have to spell it out?
Make love!
What else could it be?”
Make…love!!!
“Cough, cough, cough…” Nanxi touched her chest, her face turning red.
She protested, “Cousin, where is your mind at?
How could that be possible!”
Liang Qiaoqiao’s smile deepened, “So that means you haven’t?”
Nanxi bit her lip, her face turning even redder.
Liang Qiaoqiao said, “Nanxi, you’ve known Li Weihuan for seven years and been in a rtionship for six of them.
You haven’t done that kind of thing yet, have you considered why?”
Why?
Nanxi’s eyebrows flickered.
What could be the reason?
“Nanxi, I must admit, you and Weihuan have a good rtionship.
You really like him, you rely on him, you’re grateful to him.
But maybe all these feelings haven’t developed into love.”
“When you like someone, you enjoy theirpany and hope that feelingsts forever.
But when you love someone, you not only want to be with them—you want to be part of them, understand them, be one with them.
You have a strong desire to possess them, hoping they will always be yours, only yours…”
As Liang Qiaoqiao said this, she sighed, “Nanxi, I didn’t really want to say this, but I’ve observed your rtionship with Li Weihuan over the years.
I think he treats you well, cherishes you, loves you as if you’re the only thing in his life.
But honestly, I don’t believe your rtionship will work out because you’re not suitable for each other…”
Liang Qiaoqiao looked at Nanxi again, and said, “Nanxi, you’re a smart girl.
I believe you understand what I mean!
You’re my cousin, but in my heart, you’re like my sister.
I hope you’re happier than anyone else.
So please, don’t force yourself!”
Nanxi was silent.
She didn’t know what to say, because she couldn’t refute — she’s thought many times that she and Li Weihuan weren’t suitable for each other…
The kind of man Nanxi had always been hoping for in her heart was actually not at all like Li Weihuan…
——
So, what kind of man is Nanxi looking for?
