“Did I?” She thought carefully about how much she had just eaten. “It’s alright. I didn’t eat too much or too little.’
Pei Jingzhou gestured for her to look back. “Take a closer look at the table you ate all the way here.”
Li You glanced behind her and quickly looked away. She said perfunctorily,
“It’s alright. I’m not the only one eating, right?”
Pei Jingzhou replied, “Yes, you’re not the only one eating. I ate most of it.”
Li You smiled and tilted her head. “That’s right.”
Just then, Qin Chu came in from outside. Li You didn’t see her at first. It was only when Pei Jingzhou reminded her that she immediately turned around and saw Qin Chu. Li You threw aside all the desserts and hurried over. “Cousin!” Li You walked up to Qin Chu and asked curiously, “How was it? Did you succeed?”
Qin Chu didn’t have the happiness of a successful confession, nor did she have the sadness of a failed confession. Her expression was no different from usual. In fact, it was impossible to tell her emotions.
Li You felt that something was wrong and immediately stopped smiling. She lowered her voice and asked, “Did… something happen?” A forced smile appeared on Qin Chu’s expressionless face. Li You quickly said, “Don’t force yourself to smile. It’s fine.”
Hearing Li You’s words, Qin Chu didn’t make things difficult for herself. She took Li You’s hand. “Come with me.’
“Huh? Where to?”
“Don’t ask.”
Pei Jingzhou watched helplessly as Li You was pulled away by Qin Chu, but he did not chase after her. He had some understanding of Shen Yihe’s situation and plans before, but now, he had a rough idea.
Upstairs.
After Qin Chu pulled Li You into the bedroom and locked the door, Li You was shocked. Before she could react, Qin Chu hugged her. Li You held Qin Chu’s
arm. “Hey, Cousin…”
“Don’t talk. Let me hug you for a while,” Qin Chu said.
Li You instantly quietened down. Cousin’s voice just now was very muffled.
She seemed… very sad. It seemed that the confession had really failed. However, Li You did not understand. Cousin was such an outstanding girl. Why would that person reject her?
“Boohoo…
Hearing Qin Chu’s cries, Li You was stunned.
“Wuvvuwuvvu…”
The crying seemed louder than before.
Li You came back to her senses and realized that Qin Chu was really crying. She quickly raised her hand and gently patted Qin Chu’s back. “Cousin, don’t cry. It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Qin Chu sobbed. At tonight’s birthday party, her mother had put on makeup for her. At this moment, the makeup on her face was blurry with tears.
She cried sadly. “Why doesn’t he like me? Why? He even said that my confession was too sudden. He’d never seen me before. This time, he was accidentally called to my birthday party by my brother. He said that he didn’t know me at all. Boohoo…
Li You:
Don’t know?
“That shouldn’t be possible. The prerequisite for liking him is that you must have interacted with him many times. How can he not know you? He must be lying to you, or he has something difficult to say,” Li You analyzed calmly.
“What do you mean by difficult? It’s not like we’re acting in a television drama. I don’t believe you.” Qin Chu was still crying so hard that she couldn’t breathe.
Li You quickly smoothed her back. “Cousin Chu, don’t cry. Your makeup is all smudged.”
Hearing that her makeup was smudged, Qin Chu completely let go of her emotions and cried. As she cried, she said, “l don’t know if he’s pretending not to know me, but he was so cold just now. He rejected me decisively.” Li You was angry when she heard that. “Why is this person like this!”
Qin Chu sobbed. “Yes, why is he like this? I don’t think I’ll like someone so easily again.”
“It’s just… er, no. Not to that extent. The clothes don’t fit. That’s the fault of the clothes. What does it have to do with you? You’ll meet better, better boys in the future. Really, really. Take my word for it.”
Li You kept comforting Qin Chu. Perhaps it was because her comforting words had some effect, but Qin Chu’s crying became much softer and didn’t sob as much as before. Qin Chu pulled out of Li You’s arms. Her eyes were red, and Li You’s heart ached.
Qin Chu said to Li You, “There are plenty of fish in the sea. He’s not the only tree in the forest. I’ve decided.’
Li You was relieved. “As long as you think it through.”
However, the next second, she heard Qin Chu say, “I’ve decided not to cut this hawthorn tree for the time being.”
Li You:
Qin Chu looked at Li You with a firm gaze. “Who gives up after being rejected once? At least three times. Otherwise, it will make my liking seem very insincere. I can chase after him again.”
Li You:
Li You didn’t need to comfort her anymore. Qin Chu had quickly composed herself. Although she wasn’t as happy as before the birthday party, she was much better than when she cried out loud.
Li You went downstairs and returned to Pei Jingzhou. Seeing her return, Pei
Jingzhou asked, “Are you done comforting her?”
Li You’s expression was gloomy. When she heard Pei Jingzhou’s question, she suddenly looked up at him. “How did you know?” Pei Jingzhou said, “l guessed.”
Li You said, “Then your guess is really accurate.”
Pei Jingzhou raised his chin. “Of course.”
She walked up to Pei Jingzhou and asked him in a low voice, “Did you know that handsome man would reject Chuchu?” Pei Jingzhou shook his head. “l don’t know.”
Li You did not believe him. “As if.’
Pei Jingzhou smiled faintly. “Actually, I know a little.”
Li You’s eyes lit up, and her face was almost on Pei Jingzhou’s. She kept asking, “Tell me.”
Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways at the face in front of him. He moved back a little, keeping his distance and not crossing the line. “Shen Yihe is an illegitimate child.”
At first, Li You did not understand why Pei Jingzhou said that Shen Yihe was an illegitimate child. But after thinking about it carefully, she seemed to understand something.
Qin Chu was the eldest daughter of the Qin family. Shen Yihe was an illegitimate child. With such different identities, not only were they not compatible, but even if they were together, they would not receive blessings, especially since the status of illegitimate son on Shen Yihe would cause Qin Chu trouble.
so…
Li You understood, but she guessed, “Actually, Shen Yihe likes Cousin too, He just feels inferior because of his status.”
Pei Jingzhou smiled. “l don’t know about that. I’m not as nosy as you.”
Li You said, “Hmph.”
After Qin Chu’s birthday party ended, Li You was taken away by Guan Suling.
However, when Guan Suling pulled Li You away, Li You gestured at Pei
Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou couldn’t help but laugh. “Got it. I’ll wait for you tomorrow morning. ”
Li You waved her hand. “See you tomorrow Oh, Grandma, walk slower. I’m going to fall.”
Guan Suling snorted dotingly. “Look at how useless you are..”
