Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qin Sanlong was taken aback by his big brother’s assertion. “Big Brother, are you being serious?”
He had tried his best to size up the girl at first glance but felt no stirring of emotion. He looked at her a second time, then a third, and no matter how many times he looked, she seemed just the same as she did initially.
Qin Dalong confidently patted his own chest. “When have I ever lied to you? Trust me, I know what I’m talking about.”
He continued, “I understand the feeling you’re describing. It’s when you see someone and you’re instantly filled with excitement, your heart races, and you can’t help but think about cherishing and protecting them for the rest of your life. You believe you’d only marry someone like that, right?”
Qin Sanlong nodded vigorously. “Exactly! That’s what they call ‘liking someone.’ If you marry someone you truly like, you’d be willing to go to great lengths to ensure a happy life together.”
Qin Dalong had a contented look on his face. “That’s precisely how I feel about your Sister-in-law.”
Qin Sanlong was genuinely surprised by his brother’s confession. He wondered if his observation skills were lacking or if his understanding of relationships was flawed. He had never noticed any affectionate exchanges between his brother and sister-in-law. Their interactions seemed as calm as a still pond, devoid of ripples. They appeared more like companions than deeply in love.
However, his Big Brother’s sincerity was unquestionable. There was no reason for him to deceive Qin Sanlong. He chuckled to himself, thinking he had underestimated his brother, believing him to be clueless about matters of the heart. Little did he know that his brother possessed such profound insight.
Drawing from his own experiences, Qin Dalong imparted some wisdom to his younger brother:
“Let me share something with you,” Qin Dalong began earnestly. “When I first laid eyes on your Sister-in-law, I didn’t experience the blushing or racing heartbeat you mentioned. I thought she was quite ordinary. But, as time went on, my feelings slowly evolved.”
“When we first got engaged, I wasn’t particularly eager to see her, but after we married, I found myself wanting to be with her all the time. I’d get excited when I saw her, and my heart would beat faster.”
Qin Silong glanced at his big brother. In the past, he might have dismissed his words as typical male behavior, driven by primal instincts, devoid of real affection. He might have believed that his brother’s change in attitude toward his Sister-in-law was merely due to the nature of their relationship, and his desire to see her was, well, of a certain nature.
However, Qin Sanlong was different now. He listened to his brother with genuine interest.
“I know you probably think I’m just like many men, only focused on one thing when it comes to women,” Qin Dalong continued. “But you’re mistaken. The relationship between a man and a woman is about mutual care and respect. It’s about both parties treating each other well, gradually realizing each other’s worth. Feelings need time to develop.”
“That’s why it’s not easy to determine if you truly have feelings for a woman in a short period. The kind of love you hope for at first sight is quite exceptional.
If you insist on making that a condition for choosing a wife, don’t you think it’s somewhat stubborn and superficial?”
“Big Brother, I…”
Qin Sanlong, who was usually quick with his words, found himself at a loss for a response.
Stepping back, he admitted, “I’ll take some time to think about what you’ve said. ”
Qin Dalong patted his younger brother’s shoulder with a reassuring smile.
“That’s the spirit..”
