"Qing Ge, you really love joking! But I do have someone I like. I'm just not sure whether it truly counts as love."
After thinking for a while, Xiaolan decided to describe the thoughts in her heart.
She actually had feelings for Tang San, Zhou Qing, and Wang Sheng. But perhaps because her strength had yet to catch up to theirs, or because she felt she was not worthy of standing beside them, she had never expressed what was in her heart, afraid of being rejected...
As Zhou Qing read the contents of Ariel's letter, he used One Heart Two Uses, keeping his eyes from looking at Xiaolan—
That way, Xiaolan could relax a little.
A young girl's feelings were always poetry.
Even girls from rural towns were no fundamentally different from noble girls when it came to budding emotions. Their feelings rose and fell like crashing waves.
Only after she finished did Zhou Qing say, "It seems the person you admire most is Tang San."
"Why do you say that?" Xiaolan was startled and hurriedly asked.
"It's simple. If it weren't him, you'd be saying all this in front of Tang San. As for me... I'm probably more like your understanding big brother."
Zhou Qing smiled. "Besides, you're Tang San's student and disciple. He taught you how to cultivate step by step. After spending so much time together, it's only natural that you'd develop favorable feelings toward him. And he inherited his mother's delicate looks. Attraction to beauty and pleasure is human nature. Men and women are the same."
Xiaolan blushed as red as a monkey's backside. It took her a long while to calm down, her eyes lowered. "But Third Brother doesn't seem to feel that way? And Sister Xiao Wu is so outstanding too..."
"Stop! Stop! Stop!"
