However, Xia Lan's words did not bring her any comfort, but made her mood even lower: "Xia Lan, you can see him if you miss him, and you can pursue true love by your own will, but I can't even see him in the world."
I don’t know any corner of it.”
Hearing what Shui Xi said, Xia Lan felt more and more mentally balanced. It turned out that she was in a worse situation than herself.
However, on the surface, he said some comforting words: "If there is no hope at all in loving you, just give up, open your heart, and you will meet someone better."
Shui Xi lowered her eyes and shook her head melancholy: "I have been in love with him for 20 years. How can I forget and give up, but I don't know where to find her."
Xia Lan said nothing more and sighed.
After get off work in the evening, Shui Xi was worried that he would meet Ling Yucheng again like last night, so he made an excuse to let Xia Lan go first.
After Xia Lan left, it took a few minutes before she went downstairs carrying her bag.
But as soon as she walked to the door, she saw Xia Lan and Ling Yucheng standing there. She wanted to hide away, but it was too late for them to see them.
So, I stood there in embarrassment, not wanting to leave or not.
Xia Lan held Ling Yucheng's hand and walked towards her.
Seeing them holding hands, Shui Xi breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that things would go smoothly between them.
"Shui Xi, you are my good friend. I solemnly introduce to you that Ling Yucheng is my official boyfriend." Xia Lan smiled happily.
Shui Xi didn't understand why Xia Lan was still standing here with Ling Yucheng waiting for her to come out, and introducing him grandly to her, even though she knew Ling Yucheng's feelings for her. She really couldn't figure it out.
Although she had doubts in her heart, they all looked calm, and she couldn't say anything, so she smiled at Xia Lan and said, "Congratulations."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a sharp gaze on her. When she looked up, she saw Ling Yucheng smiling broadly, which really shocked Shui Xi.
If Ling Yucheng was treating her coldly and making her feel normal, suddenly he looked so gentle, which was really unbelievable to her.
Overnight, the contrast must have been too great.
Just as she was thinking uneasily, Xia Lan's gentle voice sounded: "Shui Xi, don't be frightened by Ling Yucheng's reaction. He told me just now that he no longer wants to cling to a hopeless relationship. He feels so tired.
, he wants to work hard to start a new relationship, treat me well, and doesn’t want to continue to be in a stalemate with you. He wants to get along with you like a brother and sister."
Shui Xi was surprised by Xia Lan's words, a little unbelievable. The changes were so fast, which made her feel so unreal.
As if to confirm Xia Lan's words, Ling Yucheng said with a gentle voice: "After you left last night, I didn't fall asleep all night, thinking about the emotional entanglement between us. After much thought, I realized that I was too paranoid and too absolute.
.”
He sighed as if he had realized something: "Emotions cannot be controlled by oneself. If emotions could be controlled that way, there wouldn't be so many people hurt by love in the world. I love you, and I am good to you."
My own thoughts should not require you to reciprocate the same feelings for me."
"Shui Xi, I'm sorry for treating you like that some time ago. Can you please forgive me? From now on, I will put aside my feelings for you and treat Xia Lan well. In the past, you always treated me like an older brother. From now on, I will
Just be your brother and think of nothing else."
Ling Yucheng's clear tone and gentle eyes made Shui Xi feel like he was back in the past. His nose felt sore and he was so excited that he almost shed tears.
"Really? Are you really willing to be my brother?" As soon as the brother said these two words, his heart was so trembling that he could no longer hold it back, and tears suddenly fell down.
"Of course it's true." He wiped away her tears: "How old are you, but you still love to cry like a child. Now I feel that I was born to be your brother. When you cry,
I will be responsible for wiping your tears."
Listening to his doting words, Shui Xi said coquettishly and coquettishly: "Who said I love crying? I'm not moved." It seemed that she had returned to the days when he was doting without restraint.
"Okay, if you two recognize each other as brothers and sisters, just leave me alone here." Xia Lan, who was ignored, pouted pretending to be angry.
Ling Yucheng rubbed her hair to comfort her.
His sudden act of affection made Xia Lan's heart beat faster and she blushed slightly.
The harmonious atmosphere made Shui Xi smile happily. This was the only time she thought she smiled from the bottom of her heart.
Looking at Ling Yucheng's soft profile, she secretly hoped that he would fall in love with Xia Lan and live a happy life.
"To celebrate you becoming brother and sister, let's go have a meal." Xia Lan suggested.
"Okay!" Shui Xi nodded and smiled happily at Ling Yucheng, who also smiled in return.
This harmonious feeling was just like before, making Shui Xi feel extremely comfortable.
"Brother, sister-in-law, let's go, let's go have a big dinner." She happily put her hands on their arms respectively, trying to pull them, but found that Ling Yucheng's arms were a little stiff, she urged: "Brother, what are you doing?
,let's go."
"Oh!" Ling Yucheng responded in a daze and followed Shui Xi's footsteps towards the car.
"Hey, who did you call sister-in-law just now?" Xia Lan's voice said.
"Except you and I are female here, I am his sister, and you are my sister-in-law. Do you think you will be happy only if I explain it clearly?" Shui Xi teased.
"No, he and I have just started, okay?" Although Xia Lan said this, her voice was full of joy that could not be concealed.
"Anyway, I don't care. I have decided that you are my sister-in-law. If any woman dares to steal your brother from you, I will definitely protest." She said with high spirits.
The person she cared about so much finally put aside her worries, got along with her calmly as a brother and sister, and started a new relationship. This made her so happy that she felt a little carried away. She really wanted to scream into the night sky to vent her inner excitement.
This is a Western-style restaurant with a warm and soft decoration and dim lighting, which is very suitable for lovers to dine.
Ling Yucheng and Xia Lan were sitting in the same direction, and she was sitting opposite Xia Lan.
As soon as she sat down, Shui Xi looked at the couples around her and regretted it. In such a good atmosphere, she really should have found an excuse to leave just now and let the two of them get along better.
She vowed to pay attention next time.
"Hey!" He couldn't help but sigh.
"What are you sighing for?" Xia Lan asked.
"I am sighing that I am like a light bulb with a high wattage, bright and dazzling."
After understanding what Shui Xi said, Xia Lan's pretty face was slightly red, but the light was dim and they couldn't see clearly: "What are you talking about?"
Shui Xi was about to say something when she saw the waitress walking over with a menu.
The waitress bowed politely to them: "Please order."
Since the waitress handed the menu to Xia Lan, Xia Lan ordered first. She likes to eat food with strong flavors, especially spicy food, so she ordered several pots of spicy dishes.
After ordering, she handed it to Shui Xi: "Shui Xi, please order it."
Shui Xi was in an extremely good mood today and wanted to eat spicy food to celebrate. She even wanted to drink beer, so she asked the waiter to order a few spicy dishes that she was interested in, but was stopped by a voice.
"You have a bad stomach and can't eat so much spicy food. Please order something light." Ling Yucheng looked at her and said.
"It's rare that I'm so happy today. I want to eat something spicy to celebrate, and I also want to drink beer." In front of Ling Yucheng, she was like a little sister who was spoiled by her brother.
"No, you are not allowed to eat more of the spicy food. You can only eat a few mouthfuls at most. You still want to drink beer. Last time, I don't know who ate spicy food and drank beer. I was rolling on the bed in pain."
.”
"But I really want to eat." Shui Xi looked at her longingly.
"If you don't listen to me as your brother and don't want to recognize me as your brother, you can do whatever you want. I'm doing it for your own good."
His threat forced Shui Xi to compromise, and he said with some frustration, "Okay, I'll just listen to you."
Ling Yucheng ordered some light side dishes from the waiter.
"Shui Xi, I want to be you. Look how much he loves you." Xia Lan said.
"This is not called pain, this is called restraint, Xia Lan, you don't know, he used to have to worry about how many popsicles I ate." Shui Xi glared at Ling Yucheng accusingly.
Knowing that Ling Yucheng cared so much about Shui Xi, Xia Lan felt as if vinegar had been poured into her body, sore and uncomfortable, but she couldn't show it.
In fact, even if Ling Yucheng and Shui Xi became brother and sister, she would still feel very uncomfortable, wishing that they would remain frozen forever and not have any contact.
However, in order to prevent Ling Yucheng from thinking that she was small, she could only pretend to be generous and accept it.
I feel very uncomfortable in my heart, but I have to pretend to be happy on my face.
She smiled sweetly at Shui Xi: "He doesn't care about you just for your own good. If it's not hurt, what do you call it? I don't know when he will be as good to me as he is to you."
After saying that, he looked at Ling Yucheng expectantly, and Ling Yucheng said to her in a calm voice: "I can't be as good to you as I am to her."
Shui Xi and Xia Lan both felt their hearts skip a beat at his words.
"She is my sister, and you are my woman. How can I treat both of you equally? Some of the things I do to you are impossible to do to my sister." He smiled warmly, all of a sudden easing the tense atmosphere.
Shui Xi and Xia Lan's tense bodies suddenly relaxed.
Hearing his secret meaning, Xia Lan blushed unconsciously.
Shui Xi blinked at Xia Lan: "Xia Lan, my brother is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He is gentle and elegant on the outside, but he has the potential of a beast on the inside. You have to be careful, don't get eaten up by him.
.”
Xia Lan's cheeks turned red after being teased by Shui Xi. She glared at her pretending to be annoyed, and her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible: "Don't talk nonsense."
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you'll know later." Xia Lan's shy look was like that of a little woman in love, which made Shui Xi always want to tease her enough.
"Little girl, your words are becoming more and more inappropriate." Ling Yucheng knocked her head.
