Shu Yi took a deep breath and spoke at length, but his intention was merely to persuade her to give up, to abandon that absurd decision.
He couldn't understand why his usually calm and composed sister had suddenly lost her mind and decided to marry a man so easily. No matter how he tried to persuade her, she refused to listen. In desperation, he decided to approach Qin Xian in an attempt to convince him to make her give up.
However, Qin Xian leisurely folded the creases of his sleeves, his expression distant and almost indifferent as he glanced at him and slowly said, "Light colors. Watching movies. Afraid of being abandoned. Seeing flying cockroaches makes her cry, but she still musters the courage to kill them."
After saying this, he lowered his gaze again and coldly added, "Right?"
Now it was Shu Yi's turn to be stunned. He frowned and looked at him in disbelief, questioning how he could know so much about his sister.
Yet the words had come from his mouth, and they were all correct, leaving Shu Yi with no chance to refute.
Qin Xian remained unhurried throughout the conversation, showing no signs of emotion, like an observer listening and watching him.
His feelings for Shu Ran were never easily expressed; they were hidden deep within his profound dark eyes.
He knew she liked light colors. From the first time they met, she wore a light purple dress that caught his eye immediately.
Every subsequent meeting featured her in a light blue pleated skirt, a white shirt, or light pink sportswear. Almost every time she wore light colors, which complemented her fresh and elegant demeanor—calm and quiet.
As for watching movies, according to his research, she went to the cinema almost every week. Often she would watch two films; if she was too busy, she would still make time for at least one.
She had an almost obsessive passion for watching movies; even after being with him, she would sneak off alone to see films. Whether it was a habit or something else, she insisted on going.
Qin Xian wanted to accompany her but was firmly rejected by her.
He thought... it must be the shadow left by the last time he watched a horror movie...
He was afraid of being abandoned.
There was no need to elaborate; last time he fell ill and fainted. She misunderstood him, and he left without a word, not to mention the incident with her mother this time.
Which time had she not cried uncontrollably, heartbroken and unable to express herself?
In the end, seeing a flying cockroach would make him cry.
It was something he had heard Zhou Jiajia mention casually.
He heard that it was Girls' Generation who had once traveled together.
At that time, they were still young, knowing nothing, just following online trends and embarking on a spontaneous trip.
They didn't book a hotel, didn't check the bus schedules, and didn't recognize the map; they set off naively like that.
What were the consequences in the end?
That trip happened during summer vacation, peak travel season. Many hotels and accommodations were hard to come by. Moreover, misfortune struck when it rained heavily that night.
With nowhere to go, the two Little Girls, both stubborn and fragile, were unwilling to inform their families of their predicament. They could only randomly find a rundown inn to make do for one night.
On a rainy day, insects were more prevalent, and the hygiene of that hotel was poor. Two people had just finished showering and were lying on the bed chatting when suddenly, a large and fat cockroach flew in through the old broken window, heading straight for them. The two of them screamed and jumped off the bed in fright.
Despite Zhou Jiajia usually being carefree, she was actually very afraid of insects in private. When she saw them, she would run faster than a rabbit. As for Shu Ran, it was even worse; if there were any of those little insects at home, she would be too scared to enter her room and would call for her brother.
Both girls were terrified, but unfortunately, they couldn’t give up a room they had worked hard to find just because of a cockroach.
They huddled in a corner, trembling and unable to stop the tears rolling down their cheeks, overwhelmed by the grievances of the day.
But after crying, they still had to sleep.
In the end, Shu Ran, with tears streaming down her face and gritting her teeth, took her shoe and killed the large cockroach that had landed on the bedside table. Only then did they finally feel at ease.
From that day on, whenever Shu Ran saw a flying cockroach, she would be terrified.
This secret matter was something Shu Yi thought only he knew. He didn’t expect that this person who had only been with his sister for a few months understood it so well.
Shu Yi was astonished and skeptical, but even so, he did not give up on his intention to break them apart. He changed his approach and spoke again, “Marriage requires more than just understanding; it also needs mutual compatibility.”
“I know your identity and family background. To be honest, it’s like heaven and earth compared to my family—one is in the sky, the other is on the ground. The values and outlook on life that arise from such differences are likely to diverge.”
“Different social standings and significant personality differences—I hope you will reconsider.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Xian's indifferent demeanor finally showed a hint of fluctuation. He coldly laughed, his oppressive aura descending upon them as he said, “Social standing? Personality differences? Why should I let these so-called standards dictate my life?”
Qin Xian was already tired of others always comparing his family background to hers. It was no longer the feudal Qing Dynasty; even if it were, so what? He just wanted her.
Who could stop him?
Success or failure, it was all for her.
In the rest of his life, there would only be her.
His gaze was sharp, filled with a strong sense of aggression that unconsciously intimidated others. He spoke in a calm voice, each word dripping with possessiveness: "I want her, only her."
No matter the family background, no matter the differences in personality, no matter the conflicting values.
Shu Yi wanted to say something more, but she heard Shu Ran's gentle call from behind.
"Brother..."
Shu Yi turned around to see her awkwardly standing behind them with three cups of coffee in hand, her expression quite uncomfortable.
It was clear she had overheard their conversation.
Before leaving, Shu Ran had been wondering about her brother's intention to send her away; it should have been nothing more than a chat with Qin Xian, perhaps giving some advice. She hadn’t worried much about it, but upon returning, she heard their arguing voices.
