Chapter 105: Will You Accept Him?
until Xiao Yunfei saw Lu Ziyi standing beside Ye Chuxiao in the front yard, holding a lion head.
The gaze he cast at her was so gentle, like the warm radiance of the full moon scattered on the lake.
Like a gentle breeze brushing past slender, verdant branches.
Like… how Bai Yiming looked at her.
She understood; he was in love with this girl named Xiaoxiao.
She gathered her courage, walked to Ye Chuxiao’s side, and asked her for a favor.
until she followed her, until she spoke with her sincerely, until she stood behind her, meticulously styling her hair and braiding it.
The confusion and oppression in Xiao Yunfei’s heart, which had been like morning mist, began to dissipate like the warm sun arriving.
It’s good that he has her! He is happy!
And she, too, has a husband who deeply loves her; she is also happy.
Although the way they find happiness now is completely different from what she initially imagined, this result is also good!
“Older Sister Yunfei,” Ye Chuxiao asked, “look at this hairstyle, do you like it?”
“Uh…” Xiao Yunfei snapped back from her thoughts. She composed herself and looked at her reflection in the mirror.
“It’s great!” Xiao Yunfei genuinely expressed her liking. Her new hairstyle perfectly suited her temperament, and paired with the red qipao, she looked gentle and elegant, fitting the occasion well.
It was evident that Xiaoxiao had put a lot of thought into styling her braid.
“Thank you, Xiaoxiao,” Xiao Yunfei said, her fair and slender right hand holding Ye Chuxiao’s left hand, which rested on her shoulder.
“I’m glad Older Sister Yunfei likes it,” Ye Chuxiao said with a smile. “I’m not a professional, so I was afraid I wouldn’t do a good job.”
“I like it very much.” Xiao Yunfei looked at Ye Chuxiao’s innocent appearance in the mirror and smiled. “Xiaoxiao, you… should have heard some of the talk in town these past couple of days, right?”
Ye Chuxiao was surprised. Did Older Sister Yunfei mean that people were saying Ziyi liked her, and that he was heartbroken because she was getting married, perhaps even planning to snatch her away?
But how could Ye Chuxiao comment on this matter? She had no standing to offer an opinion, and she wasn’t even from the town.
With a sense of relief in her heart, Xiao Yunfei said gently, “Xiaoxiao, actually, what everyone is saying isn’t true. Ziyi and I are just good friends; he doesn’t have any romantic feelings for me. People might misunderstand, but I won’t. I’ve been in love and married, and I know the signs of a guy falling for a girl. But Ziyi truly likes you. He’s an excellent person. Xiaoxiao, please give Ziyi a chance; he will cherish you dearly.”
“…” Ye Chuxiao was very surprised that Xiao Yunfei would say this to her. Had Older Sister Yunfei not sensed Senior Student Ziyi’s affection, and therefore accepted another man?
And what were Senior Student Ziyi’s feelings? Had he ever loved Older Sister Yunfei?
Was it true that Older Sister Yunfei said Senior Student Ziyi liked her?
Ye Chuxiao had very little contact with the opposite sex growing up; the closest person to her was Brother Chusheng.
Brother Chusheng was very considerate, caring, and looked after her, but Brother Chusheng only saw her as a younger sister; he didn’t have any romantic feelings for her either.
So when Senior Student Ziyi also cared for her and looked after her, she couldn’t be sure if Senior Student Ziyi liked her, or if it was just like Brother Chusheng, a purely brotherly affection for a sister?
Ye Chuxiao couldn’t understand these “complicated” emotions.
If Senior Student Ziyi truly liked her, would she accept him?
