1454 Not knowing how to comfort....
Gu Xin recalled the name that Cheng huaijin called out to her when she was unconscious, as well as the fact that the first person Cheng huaijin asked about after she woke up was not Xiao Yu but her sister. She had some thoughts in her heart.
She thought for a moment and asked,”brother Xiao Yan, are you married in quicksand country?” I remember that you and Xiao Yu are two years older than me. You’re sixteen this year and will be seventeen after the new year.”
Cheng huaijin shook his head.
“Does brother Xiao Ye have someone he likes?” Gu Xin asked again.
Cheng huaijin looked at Gu Xin and smiled, ” “Yes, I do. However, my sweetheart is not in quicksand country, but the great Zhou Dynasty.”
Now that Gu Xin’s guess was confirmed, she didn’t know if she should tell Cheng huaijin that her sister was already engaged and that second brother Xue was doing well.
Seeing her like this, Cheng huaijin could guess what she was thinking. He smiled and asked, ” “My sweetheart is sister niannian. All these years, the only two things that kept me alive were that I wanted to return to the great Zhou Dynasty to fight for that girl. The other was that I wanted to return to the great Zhou Dynasty to find my sister. It was sister niannian and Xiao Yu who supported me to live well, let me protect myself in the face of many conspiracies and tricks, let me practice martial arts harder and improve my ability. Without them, I might not have been able to survive in quicksand country.”
Gu Xin looked at Cheng huaijin. This face was very similar to Xiao Yu’s. It was just that brother Xiao Zheng was a boy, so he was tougher, had deeper facial features, and his skin was darker than Xiao Yu’s.
“Brother Xiao Yan, actually, our families have only known each other for less than half a year.” I feel like you’re using your feelings for your sister more deeply.”
Cheng huaijin smiled and said,’Xinxin, Did you know? Sister niannian is the first woman in the world to wash my hair. She’s gentle, kind, and always able to do unexpected things. I didn’t understand it before. I only know that when your family appears, the first person I see is always sister niannian. After all these years, I’ve grown up. I’ve also understood that perhaps that one glance at that time had set my heart for life. My heart can’t hold any other girls.”
Gu Xin suddenly remembered what grandma Gu had told her. When grandma Gu first met Grandpa Gu, he had been in her heart ever since. Now, she had a family of children and grandchildren. It had been a few decades.
However, Gu Xin knew that Cheng huaijin and Gu Nian would never be Grandpa and Grandma Gu.
She was still struggling to decide whether she should tell Cheng huaijin about Gu Nian’s engagement. For Cheng huaijin, who treated Gu Nian as a pillar of support for his survival, this was a little cruel. However, she also knew that Cheng huaijin would find out about this sooner or later. Should I let him discover it himself, or should I give him a reminder?
Cheng huaijin used a stick to dig at the fire. Looking at the blazing flames, he laughed self-deprecatingly.”Xinxin, don’t hesitate anymore. You can tell me. Sister niannian is so good and outstanding. There must be many people who like her. She was already eighteen years old. Second uncle and second aunt had already arranged a marriage for her, right? He must be a very good man, a man worthy of sister niannian, right?”
Gu Xin hugged her knees with both hands and rested her chin on her knees. She looked at the fire and sighed, ” “Yes, elder sister is engaged. Brother Xiao Yang, there are many good girls in this world. Yingluo, don’t be too sad.”
Gu Xin didn’t know how to comfort her and was at a loss for words.
The main reason was that she had never encountered such a situation before. There were no good people around her who could not get what they loved, and she had never comforted anyone.
