I quickly lifted the cup of water and brought it to his lips. "Are you okay?"
He pressed his lips together and glanced at me before lowering his head to drink. However, before I could pull my hand back, he grasped my wrist.
I: "..."
Wang An kept his head down, so I couldn't see his expression, but I could sense that he seemed to be suppressing something.
"Jiang..."
Just as I was about to say something, he suddenly looked up at me, his eyes deep. "Ni Xin, have you been charmed by Qin Guang?"
"Huh?"
"You can't even tell who your real savior is, can you?"
His voice was low and carried a hint of grievance, which startled me.
"No, no, no! Of course I can tell!"
I hurriedly explained, "I was young back then, but I remember. I knew it was you; it's just..."
Wang An furrowed his brow. "Just what?"
I licked my lips, feeling a bit awkward. "It's just that I didn't know where you were; I couldn't find you..."
So I had to take Qin Guang as you and secretly admired him for so many years.
Before I could finish my thought, Wang An suddenly stood up, trapping me between him and the dining table.
I looked up at him and clearly saw the emotions swirling in his eyes and the slight redness in his ears.
His breathing was a bit rapid as his gaze swept over me before he lowered his head to look at me, his voice hoarse:
"What about now? Ni Xin, what should we do now?"
What should we do?
Of course—
I gritted my teeth. "Why don't you kiss me?"
Wang An froze suddenly.
I mustered the courage to look at him. "You know, I've been secretly in love with Qin Guang all these years. Now that I've finally made up my mind to let him go, you have to comfort me a bit, right?" After saying this, I cautiously glanced at Wang An.
He continued to stare at me, lost in thought. I gritted my teeth and reached out to poke his chest. "Are you... not capable of doing anything?"
Then, Wang An lowered his head and kissed me. His movement was somewhat forceful yet gentle, leaving me dizzy from the kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck, silently thinking: Wang An, I don't want you to be my unspoken love; I want you by my side to watch the snow fall and the flowers bloom together.
In the simple courtyard, on one side was Qin Guang's father, tilling the soil, while on the other side was my mother, feeding the chickens. I sat in the middle, bored, looking at the familiar scenery around me, and involuntarily picturing Wang An busy in the kitchen.
Sigh. Indeed, it's easy to fall into luxury from frugality but hard to return to frugality from luxury. After eating the meals cooked by Wang An, I no longer wanted to eat what others made.
Just then, Qin Guang's father straightened up and remarked, "The crops are growing well." My mother nodded with a smile. "Yes, this harvest will surely be good."
Qin Guang's father smiled and then looked at me. "Ni Xin, since the crops are ready, it's time for harvesting. About your marriage with Qin Guang..."
My mother chimed in with a smile, "It's about time to bring it up; it's been dragging on for years."
Qin Guang's father sighed. "A marriage contract is not something to be taken lightly."
I pressed my lips together. "If it's just a game, then what does all my one-sided effort over the years count for?"
Qin Guang's father was taken aback, and Qin Guang's expression changed drastically while my mother clapped her hands in approval.
"Exactly! Hasn't my Ni Xin shown him how she feels all these years? Doesn't he know?"
Qin Guang's father waved his hand dismissively. "Boys mature slowly; he just hasn't figured it out yet."
I tugged at the corner of my lips. "That's true; if I were mature enough, I wouldn't have fallen for Qin Guang."
"You!" Qin Guang glared at me, but was met with a glare from Qin's Father in return.
