After all, Yun Qiao was an adult. When he heard someone calling his name, he still slowed down.

The tears had already dried up in the wind. Yun Qiao’s eyes were a little red, but he no longer shed tears.

“I know. Second aunt must have taken the money you saved. However, our family is not short of money to repair the doors and windows. When the time comes, I’ll tell my parents. I’ll ask them to return the money to you.”

Yun Xi had never seen Yun Qiao like this. She felt that the money should be very important to him. Although Yun Xi did not know what Yun Qiao was going to do with the money, it should be something very important to him.

“There’s no need. My brother burned down your doors and windows. It should be compensated. There’s no reason for you to refund the money to me. I’m just angry with my mother. It has nothing to do with your family. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Yun Qiao was not like Ma Yan at all. He was kind and knew right from wrong. He was completely different from Ma Yan. However, it was because of his kindness that he was more easily bullied in a family like the second branch.

In fact, the person who was more prone to psychological problems was Yun Qiao. However, his heart was strong enough that he never cared about his own gains and losses. Now that he was forced into such a situation, it could only prove that the Yun family’s second son was getting more and more overboard.

“Can you tell me what exactly the use of that money is? Just treat it as a chat with me!”

The two of them sat down beside the pile of straw and chatted.

“Actually, I saved up that money to buy Luo Chen a birthday present. Since she was young, she must have received a lot of valuable gifts. However, I don’t have much money, so I started saving up a long time ago. I hope that I can give her a decent present on her birthday.”

Yun Qiao said helplessly, but he was afraid that he could not give Luo Chen a decent gift anymore.

“Cousin, it’s just you and me now. Can you tell me the truth? Do you like Luo Chen or not?”

Yun Xi clearly knew that the answer was yes, but she still hoped to hear it from Yun Qiao herself.

Yun Qiao was a little shy when he heard this question, and her earlobes started to turn red.

“I like her.”

Yun Qiao admitted it in a low voice, and then he said a bunch of words to persuade her to leave.

“But I also know that there is a great distance between me and her. She is the daughter of a military commander, and I am just a poor boy. I am just an ordinary soldier, and she has already become the chief of staff. How can I dray her down when I am like this and my family is like this?”

As Yun Qiao spoke, he sighed again. As expected, a family would affect a person for a long time. The confidence that a family brought was incomparable to other things.

The inferiority complex that a family brought would always accompany a person’s life. Some people used their childhood to heal their whole life, while others used their whole life to heal their childhood.

“But you are you! In my eyes, you are a very, very good person.”

Yun Xi felt that what Yun Qiao lacked now was not the little money that Ma Yan had stolen, but his own self-confidence. Yun Xi began to encourage Yun Qiao, hoping that he would have more confidence in himself and be brave enough to express his feelings.

“Don’t comfort me anymore. I know what I am like.”

The image of the other members of Yun Lin’s family appeared in Yun Qiao’s mind again. He sighed heavily and shook his head.

“I’m not comforting you. I’m just telling the truth. I’m putting aside my identity as your cousin and judging you from a girl’s point of view. It must be because girls understand girls better. I can understand what Luo Chen is thinking. Her thoughts must be similar to mine.”

Yun Xi used her emotions to reason.

“Look, Luo Chen has been coming over time and time again. She must have feelings for you. Moreover, she has never minded your family’s conditions because she only has her eyes on you. Only you can be a little more capable, and only you can respond to her. This is what she needs. In the future, the person she will marry will be you, not your brother, and not your mother. So, only if you are brave enough to love her, will she be happy.”

Yun Qiao was a person who would listen to advise. Yun Xi hoped that what she said today was not in vain.

After all, Yun Xi was now almost frozen like a popsicle.
