Chapter 236: Will Father and Mother Object?
Ye Chuxiao read the message but didn’t reply. Instead, she called directly.
“Sister,” Ye Chuxiao called out softly.
“Xiaoxiao, what’s wrong?” her sister, Ye Chujun, who was far away in France, asked with concern. “Xiaoxiao doesn’t seem to have much energy. How is Chusheng’s condition? I heard Uncle Lin and Aunt Song rushed back. Chusheng isn’t seriously injured, is he?”
“Brother Chusheng has a cut on his right lower leg,” Ye Chuxiao said softly. “He’s recovering well and is preparing to be discharged.”
“Is it that Chusheng still can’t forget Tang Jie’er, and Xiaoxiao is feeling sad?” Ye Chujun, who was a little over a year older than Ye Chuxiao, had a very good relationship with her sister, and her question was very direct.
“Sister…” Ye Chuxiao paused and said faintly, “I have something I want to tell you. Do you have time?”
“Xiaoxiao, go ahead. If Xiaoxiao wants to share her heart with her sister, her sister always has time.”
Ye Chuxiao said with confusion, “Sister, Brother Chusheng told me last night in his hospital room that he… loves me.”
“Heh…” Ye Chujun chuckled, then paused. She heard the tone in her sister’s voice; it wasn’t one of great joy, but rather heavy.
Ye Chujun asked, “Is Chusheng serious?”
“Mm.” Ye Chuxiao told her sister about everything Lin Chusheng had said to her when he confessed.
Ye Chujun sighed and said, “Actually, from our perspective, it’s understandable that Chusheng would fall in love with Xiaoxiao. It’s just that he had to go through certain experiences to truly understand his own heart. What about you, Xiaoxiao? How do you feel about Chusheng now?”
Ye Chuxiao said with difficulty, “Sister, I… I don’t know. What should I do? I… I’ve fallen for another guy.”
“Ah?” Ye Chujun was very surprised. “When?”
“When Brother Chusheng was with Miss Tang, I met another guy.”
Ye Chuxiao told her sister about how she met Lu Ziyi and their story.
“I love him very much,” Ye Chuxiao murmured. “But I also feel like our future is very uncertain. I think Father and Mother would prefer me to be with Brother Chusheng.”
On the other end of the phone, Ye Chujun paused and asked seriously, “Xiaoxiao, do you know why Father and Mother want you to be with Chusheng?”
Ye Chuxiao said softly, “Brother Chusheng and I grew up together, and I’ve always been close to him. Our families, Uncle Lin and Aunt Song’s family, are very close. So, Father and Mother probably feel reassured if Brother Chusheng and I are together.”
“Xiaoxiao,” Ye Chujun said earnestly, “I think the reason Father and Mother want you to be with Chusheng is because they love you! They know Chusheng well and believe he has the ability to give you happiness.
“However, if it were another boy, and you both loved each other, and he could give you happiness, I don’t think Father and Mother would object.
“So, Xiaoxiao needs to think carefully about what kind of future you and Senior Student Lu might have, and whether it can pass your parents’ approval.
“You’ve only known Senior Student Lu for about half a year, right? Do you really know him? You grew up with Chusheng; how do you want to define your relationship with him? Xiaoxiao, you need to think about this calmly!
“I know you’re very confused and lost right now, Xiaoxiao. Your sister suggests you don’t consider what others think, but rather choose according to your own heart. Whoever is in your heart, bravely commit to him!
“No matter what difficulties you face in the future, your sister will always support you and face them with you, okay?”
“I understand. Thank you, Sister!” Ye Chuxiao let out a long sigh. She squinted her eyes, gazing at the dappled sunlight filtering through the wisteria flower stand and casting patterns on the corridor.
