Getting Ready to Make a Move
Seeing Wang Yue standing there in a daze, Old Father Wang assumed he'd been bewitched by Liu Sihui's beauty. He shook his head helplessly and said in annoyance, "Now that you're back, why are you just standing there? Hurry up and go help in the kitchen."
Wang Yue could hardly believe his ears. Hadn't his father said just a few months ago that he and Liu Sihui weren't right for each other?
How had he suddenly changed his mind? Was he giving them his blessing?
Had someone quietly swapped him out and taken over his body?
Wang Yue couldn't make sense of it. Suspicious, he went to the kitchen, where Liu Sihui was fumbling a little because he'd come in. He said awkwardly, "Sister Liu, thanks for helping this time. I want to persuade Old Master to move into the new house, but he says he's used to living here. Could you help me talk him into it?"
Liu Sihui's hand paused as she chopped vegetables, then continued. Pretending not to care, she asked, "Where are you moving to?"
She'd moved too, but Niu Niu still had to go to school, so she'd stayed near the school. If Wang Yue's new house was too far away, then even though they were both in Magic City, she really wouldn't have time to see him.
When two people went a long time without seeing each other, even if they had feelings for one another, those feelings would gradually fade. And the two of them hadn't had much of a relationship to begin with.
Or rather, she was the only one with a one-sided crush.
The thought made her heart ache a little.
Since Liu Sihui had her back to him, Wang Yue couldn't see her expression.
