Su Xiu chuckled and returned to her room, grabbing a handful of her candies to share with the young neighbour. “Alright, go!”
“Thank you, Sister Su Xiu!” The cheerful child leapt with joy and scurried away.
Turning to her second sister, Su Qing, Su Xiu greeted her. “Second sister, I’m heading to see what Sister Yulan wants. I’ll be back to make dinner. I had a late lunch, so I’m not hungry yet.”
“Don’t worry about dinner. I’ll handle it.”
“Alright,” Su Xiu agreed before departing.
Observing her sister’s departure, Su Qing retrieved a letter from the drawer under the table. Slowly unfolding it, she admired the elegant handwriting, a smile gracing her lips.
Though Lin Weiguo’s attire was simple, his presence was as undeniable as the beauty of the handwriting before her. Even someone as proud as Li Xue had taken notice of him.
Li Xue, known for her favourable circumstances, was the village chief’s daughter from the Li family in the Trinity Village. Despite her advantageous situation, Li Xue had set her sights on Lin Weiguo. With good grades, a stable job at the town’s radio station, and societal acclaim, Li Xue was considered an ideal match for anyone.
Furthermore, Li Xue excelled academically since childhood and was well-regarded in the village for her interpersonal skills. Everyone praised her, expecting her to become an exemplary wife, providing valuable support to her future husband.
Reflecting on this, Su Qing pushed aside any discomfort she felt and started composing a new letter to Lin Weiguo.
In her letter, she mentioned running out of local specialities and promised to send them his way next time. Expressing gratitude for his appreciation of the handmade bags, she explained that bag-making was a family business. Su Qing revealed her plan to open a shop in the provincial capital with her sister, seeking Lin Weiguo’s help in promoting it when the time came.
As Su Qing wrote, she hesitated, feeling a hint of nervousness. Was it wise to be so calculative?
Lin Weiguo had gifted both her and Su Xiu, and the presents, while not extravagant, held sentimental value. Her family’s bags, though not wealthy in terms of money, carried substantial worth. Su Qing wrestled with the idea of being too calculative, realizing the rarity of genuine friendship.
Reassuring herself that Lin Weiguo was genuinely suited to promote their family’s bags, she reminded herself not to be overly calculating. Lost in thought, Su Qing couldn’t help but picture Lin Weiguo proudly carrying one of their bags—a beautiful image that made her heart race.
Abruptly snapping back to reality, she touched her chest, feeling the rapid rhythm of her heartbeat. Her expression shifted, her lips pursed tightly, and her heart sank.
Having witnessed her elder sister and brother-in-law’s relationship experiences, Su Qing acknowledged that she was no longer the naive person she once was. Something felt off about her situation, and she told herself not to be fooled by appearances.
The more outstanding a man, the more dangerous he could be. Her father, a good man, had a troubled relationship with her mother despite his virtues.
Reminding herself that not all good men were suitable for her, she concluded with a newfound awareness that she needed to approach things cautiously, resisting the allure of a seemingly perfect match..
