Wish Fulfilled: Bai Weiwei, Little Curious One!
"Grandpa Bai, what exactly is lovesickness?"
Wen Xingyue blinked her big eyes, full of curiosity and thirst for knowledge.
Well, this has really stumped this old man.
Bai Shouzhong was taken aback. Looking into the little girl's clear and bright eyes, he silently pondered how to explain.
A few minutes later, Wen Xingyue nodded, seemingly understanding.
"I understand, it's because Sister Bai missed Brother so much that she got sick."
"Isn't that right, Grandpa Bai?"
Forehead...
Bai Shouzhong stroked his beard and smiled, "Xingyue is really smart."
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he slapped his head, "Look at my memory, I forgot about that thing."
After saying that, he led the little girl toward the room.
On the other side, in the pavilion.
Looking at Bai Weiwei, who looked much more haggard, Jiang Cheng hesitated to speak.
"Jiang Cheng, can you walk with me for a bit?"
Bai Weiwei's voice was gentle and soft, carrying a hint of anticipation and nervousness.
Jiang Cheng nodded, and the two walked side by side.
Their steps were slow, and for a moment no one spoke, simply enjoying the moment.
Whew~
Looking at that familiar face, Bai Weiwei took a few deep breaths.
Her delicate features gradually softened from initial hesitation to firmness as she gently took Jiang Cheng's hand.
The warm, soft touch startled Jiang Cheng.
He could clearly feel Bai Weiwei's noticeably faster heartbeat and the sweat on her palms.
He sighed inwardly and did not resist.
"Thank you, Jiang Cheng."
Bai Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief, a gentle and tender expression appearing on her face.
Even their movements became lighter, and they spoke in a lower voice.
She was actually very afraid, afraid that Jiang Cheng would reject her.
She didn't have the courage to be with him, nor the courage to say what she was going to say next.
It seems she's lucky!
At least, Jiang Cheng was willing to be less cruel.
Even if Bai Weiwei's voice was soft and weak, as a grandmaster, how could Jiang Cheng not hear it clearly?
If he said he didn't like Bai Weiwei at all, that would be a lie.
Whether it's her figure, appearance, family background, or personality, Bai Weiwei is flawless.
Even though he made it clear that he had someone he liked, this silly girl still didn't give up.
That's why he's conflicted.
Having known each other for so long, he also knew Bai Weiwei's attitude towards relationships.
Once someone has made up their mind about another person, it's very difficult to change their mind.
With a sigh, Jiang Cheng decided to explain the situation.
If Bai Weiwei persists, he will naturally not let this good girl down.
As for Qin Yan and the others, he realized that these girls had gone too far.
Qin Yan, in particular, wished she could tie Ding Shengnan to his bed.
"Weiwei, I..."
Before Jiang Cheng could finish speaking, Bai Weiwei shook her head.
Her eyes held a stubbornness and seriousness, and a bitter smile forced onto her pretty face.
"Jiang Cheng, let me speak first."
"Good."
Feeling Bai Weiwei's small hand gradually tightening its grip, Jiang Cheng didn't say anything and just nodded.
"Jiang Cheng, do you know what? I really like you!"
"Perhaps it was from the first time I saw you, with that dashing and confident demeanor."
"Or perhaps, it was you who stood in front of me and protected me on several occasions."
Even knowing that you have someone you like, I still can't help but think about you and want to get closer to you.
Bai Weiwei let out a long sigh of relief, then changed the subject and continued...
"But you're a bastard, I don't believe you can't feel any of this."
"I just want a tiny place in your heart, just a little bit."
After saying all that in one breath, Bai Weiwei revealed a relieved smile, and the frustration in her chest dissipated.
She slowly released Jiang Cheng's hand, her eyes brimming with emotion.
Just as I was about to ask that last question, I was suddenly enveloped in a warm embrace.
That's my answer.
Jiang Cheng gently pulled Bai Weiwei into his arms and whispered in her ear.
"Jiang Cheng, what... what did you say?"
Bai Weiwei's eyes reddened, and her voice trembled.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng smiled and slowly approached those alluring pink lips...
"Do you understand?"
Just then, a noise came from not far away.
Jiang Cheng and the other turned around and saw Bai Shouzhong staring at the scene in shock.
He was pulling at Wen Xingyue's beard with one hand and covering her eyes with the other.
Realizing he had been discovered, Bai Shouzhong coughed lightly and spoke casually.
"Brother Jiang, Weiwei, you two continue. This old man didn't see anything."
After saying that, Bai Shouzhong hurriedly took the girl away, afraid of disturbing their good time.
Only after they had walked a distance did a hearty laugh rang out.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng's lips twitched.
You don't seem to have seen nothing!
"Weiwei, let's go."
Jiang Cheng glanced down at Bai Weiwei, whose cheeks were flushed with embarrassment, and spoke with a smile.
"Um."
Bai Weiwei's voice was barely audible as she bit her pink lips and hummed in agreement.
Even now, she still can't believe it.
But the lingering warmth on her lips constantly reminded her that it was all real!
In that instant, Bai Weiwei's heart was filled with a deep sense of happiness and contentment.
Inside the pavilion, Bai Shouzhong hummed a little tune, in a very good mood.
"Grandpa Bai, aren't we going to help Sister Bai get treatment?"
Wen Xingyue tilted her head, a big question mark in her eyes.
Haha~
Looking at the quirky and clever Wen Xingyue, Bai Shouzhong smiled mysteriously.
"Your Sister Bai is cured and doesn't need our help anymore."
As if remembering something, Wen Xingyue pouted and muttered softly,
"Grandpa Bai is naughty. It must have been my brother treating Sister Bai's illness just now. I didn't see it."
Upon hearing this, Bai Shouzhong was stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng led Bai Weiwei over.
Wen Xingyue stepped forward, blinking her big, bright eyes like a curious child.
"Brother, were you just treating Sister Bai's illness?"
Treating illness?
Jiang Cheng and Bai Weiwei exchanged a glance, and the tips of the latter's ears instantly turned pink.
"Almost... about the same."
Jiang Cheng touched his nose, looking slightly embarrassed.
"Hmph~ I knew it. Grandpa Bai was covering my eyes and wouldn't let me see just now."
Wen Xingyue pouted, sulking.
Soon, her eyes brightened, and she uttered a startling statement.
"Brother, could you please treat Sister Bai again? Xingyue wants to see it too."
Where does this little girl get such a strong sense of curiosity?
Jiang Cheng slowly spoke, "Xingyue, Sister Bai's illness is cured. Healthy people don't need treatment, you know?"
"All right."
Wen Xingyue hung her head, looking somewhat regretful.
In the past, when she was sick, she would take medicine and injections, and it would take several days to get better!
How come Sister Bai recovered so quickly after her brother treated her illness?
The little girl said she didn't understand at all.
Jiang Cheng smiled helplessly, then looked at Bai Shouzhong, who had a smile on his face, and wanted to speak but didn't know what to call him.
"Brother Jiang, let's keep to ourselves. In front of outsiders, you can call me Grandpa."
"When we're not around, please still call me Brother Bai, okay?"
