Probably no man in the world can resist the admiring look of such a beautiful girl!
Gu Xinian was the exception, still so calm and calm: "Cousin Qingning, are you sure you really want to say it?"
Ye Qingning's enthusiasm was ruthlessly poured down by a basin of cold water. His heart suddenly became cold and his smile became less natural: "Cousin, you know what I want to say..."
"Yes!" Gu Xinian looked calm and calm: "I know what you want to say. That's why I advise you not to say anything else."
The rejection is so obvious that one can even pretend not to hear it!
Ye Qingning's smile froze, and her heart that was full of expectations a moment ago was now cold: "Why? What's wrong with me? Don't you like me at all?"
The arrogant and reserved Ye Qingning was now so fragile and helpless, with tears looming in his eyes.
Gu Xinian was unmoved at all and remained calm: "You are very good, but in my eyes, you are just a little girl, my cousin. I have never had any feelings for you. You
Your beloved is not me, but Jun Yan!"
Ye Qingning's eyes were red, but she resisted crying: "But the person I like is you."
"But I don't like you!" Gu Xinian responded ruthlessly.
This sentence completely hit the most vulnerable part of Ye Qingning's heart, and tears fell like broken beads. She was a very beautiful girl, and her beauty was even more shocking.
But Gu Xinian was not tempted, and just looked at the girl in front of him indifferently. What he thought of was another face.
Back then, she had cried so sadly in front of him. At that time, he was just an innocent boy who loved her deeply. When she cried like this, he felt very distressed and wanted to agree to all her requests, just for her.
She smiled. But such wholehearted care and love was still no match for her ambition. He made a wrong step, and then made another mistake again and again, and finally he was beyond redemption. His family was affected...
Gu Xinian felt a sharp pain in his heart when he thought of those painful past events. Over the past few years, he had long been accustomed to such pain, and he could still maintain a calm look on his face.
Ye Qingning was still crying, her shoulders swaying slightly, which was very endearing.
Gu Xinian sighed secretly. Finally he opened his mouth and said, "Qingning, look up at me."
Ye Qingning raised her misty tearful eyes and stared blankly at the handsome figure close at hand. This moment of solitude was what she had been looking forward to for a long time, but when it came to this moment, she wished that none of this had happened. Then at least she would still be alive.
I can continue to wait with beautiful dreams...
"What do you like about me?" Gu Xinian never seemed to lose control of his emotions. Even when he was facing the tearful Ye Qingning, he was not moved at all: "I am six years older than you. When I became an adult, you were still
He's just a naive child. Although we are cousins, we have very little contact, and we haven't even spoken a few words. You know nothing about my personality, hobbies, and temper. What do you like about me?
Do you just like my face?"
A series of questions came to Ye Qingning's ears.
Ye Qingning looked at Gu Xinian blankly, her tears gradually stopped, and suddenly she said: "Are you still thinking about Shen Qiuyu? But she is already the prince's woman, and she will never come back to you in this life.
.”
Gu Xinian looked indifferent: "It has nothing to do with her."
Ye Qingning became excited: "How come it has nothing to do with her? If you don't care about her, why don't you accept other women?"
Gu Xinian looked at Ye Qingning steadily, and then said slowly: "Even without her, I will not accept your affection. Just give up this idea and wait until you marry Jun Yan. You two are the ones who
A real couple."
Ye Qingning's tears that had stopped began to fall again.
Gu Xinian's ruthless words penetrated into her ears word by word: "I didn't want to see you. It was your cousin who kept trying to convince me to come to see you. Today I have said everything I need to say. You don't want to see me in the future."
Stop imagining things."
With that said, he turned and left.
Ye Qingning couldn't bear it anymore, and finally knelt down and cried loudly. The cry could be heard faintly.
Ye Qinglan, who had been secretly paying attention to the movements here, keenly caught the cry, thought something was wrong in her heart, and stood up without thinking.
Gu Xinian happened to come over at this time, and the two looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly.
Ye Qinglan whispered: "I'm going to see Sixth Sister." As for Gu Xiyu, who was concentrating on weaving wreaths, she naturally left it to Gu Xinian.
Gu Xinian hummed casually, his expression still very calm. Obviously, the scene just now did not cause him much trouble. Over the years, there have been countless women who have admired him. Some of them are brave, either openly or covertly.
He had shown admiration before, but he turned a blind eye calmly. This was the first time he refused so bluntly today, but he did it very naturally.
Ye Qinglan glanced at him, her eyes clearly showing disapproval.
There are many ways to reject a girl. He could have said it tactfully and not embarrass Ye Qingning too much. But he obviously didn't do that and chose the most straightforward and hurtful words, which completely broke a girl's heart.
…
It's strange to say that just now Ye Qingning was so excited that he was crying and talking, but he didn't even get angry. But Ye Qinglan's faint glance quickly aroused his anger, and his handsome face turned cold: "You plan to keep it forever
Are you staring at me here?"
Why don't you hurry up and coax Ye Qingning back? If someone suddenly breaks into the woods and sees Ye Qingning crying so sadly, it would be strange not to be suspicious.
Forget it, don’t argue with this kind of person anymore!
Ye Qinglan was too lazy to look at him again, and followed the faint sound of crying all the way to find him.
Soon, Ye Qingning's figure came into view. She squatted there, her head buried in her skirt, her shoulders kept shaking, and she cried muffledly.
Ye Qinglan had never seen the arrogant Ye Qingning cry like this regardless of her image, and she couldn't help but feel pity in her heart. She couldn't help but sigh, walked to Ye Qingning and squatted down: "Sixth Sister, stop crying..."
When Ye Qingning heard Ye Qinglan's voice, she cried even harder.
Ye Qinglan helplessly hugged her shoulders and asked her to lean against him. He comforted her in a low voice: "Didn't I tell you before? No matter what cousin Gu's reaction is, in short, you are worthy of yourself. From now on, let him
Completely forget about him, don’t think about him anymore.”
"You said it's easy," Ye Qingning responded intermittently with sobs and sobs: "How can it be so easy..." She has liked Gu Xinian for a long time.
In order to be worthy of him, she has been practicing hard, hoping to be better than Shen Qiuyu back then. She hopes that by that time, Gu Xinian can look at her in the eyes and have a good impression of her, even just a little bit.
.
But this sweet dream was quickly shattered before it could be completed.
Gu Xinian's cold and ruthless words kept echoing in her mind, like sharp knives piercing her heart...
She was crying so sadly that she probably couldn't listen to anything she said. Ye Qinglan simply said nothing and just held her shoulders silently, letting her cry happily.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Qingning's crying became hoarse and finally stopped.
Ye Qinglan then said patiently: "Sixth sister, I know you are sad. You can't listen to anything I say now. But I still have to say something. Cousin Gu is doing this for your own good. He doesn't have you in his heart.
Then I will reject you clearly, so that you will not keep thinking about him in your heart."
Ye Qingning's eyes were as red as a rabbit's, and his voice was thick and nasal: "Of course you say it's easy, but it's not like you like him and he rejects you. You don't know what it feels like..."
Ye Qinglan said disapprovingly: "What's so good about him? I don't like people like him. Except for his long face and being able to meet people, there is nothing else to be said about him. In the final analysis, he is just an embroidered pillow."
I wanted to say this to comfort Ye Qingning, but I didn't expect Ye Qingning to immediately retort after hearing this: "My cousin is not that kind of embroidered pillow with only appearance. He has outstanding poetry, good speech, and his own school of calligraphy and painting. He is sixteen years old.
He won the first prize, but he just doesn't want to become an official. If he is willing to become an official, he will definitely be much better than his eldest brother." The eldest brother she refers to, of course, refers to Ye Yuanwei, who is a member of the civil service department.
Ye Qinglan couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this: "He rejected you like this, and you actually spoke for him. I really don't know what to say about you!"
Ye Qingning was speechless for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "He doesn't like me because I'm not good enough. If I were as beautiful and outstanding as Shen Qiuyu..."
"Sixth sister, I don't agree with what you say." Ye Qinglan interrupted Ye Qingning's self-pity: "How are you worse than Shen Qiuyu? In terms of appearance, you are almost the same as her. In terms of talent, you are not weaker than her in the slightest. In terms of family background,
She is far worse than you."
Ye Qingning's self-confidence, which had been completely shattered, finally came back a little: "Is it true?"
Ye Qinglan nodded affirmatively: "Of course it's true."
"But, my cousin doesn't like me at all." Ye Qingning lowered his head in loneliness.
"Because the relationship between men and women is not based on these criteria." Ye Qinglan's voice was low and gentle, like a magic power, making the listeners slowly calm down: "It's a feeling for a person to like another person.
.And this feeling has nothing to do with these external conditions. There must be more beautiful and outstanding women than Shen Qiuyu in this world, but those people are not Shen Qiuyu, so Cousin Gu will not like them. So, you can't
So I lost confidence."
Ye Qingning was silent for a long time, and his expression finally returned to calm.
Ye Qinglan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to continue to enlighten her a few more words, when suddenly a burst of footsteps came over.
