She wouldn’t join them if the person she liked was with another woman.
She then looked downwards, and scenes, which had been haunting her the past few days, resurfaced in her mind.
It was blissful scenes of Ming Ansheng and Meiduo, hand in hand with their son.
Her face fell instantly.
Xuxu observed her and smiled. “I didn’t have a choice. He’s a bothersome little demon and I couldn’t say no to him. It would hurt me every time I saw both of them together, but I could only wipe my tears in secret when I turned away. But I got used to it after a while, and I persevered.”
Then she smiled smugly. “In the end, he ended up with me.”
She could recall her experience of being Yan Rusheng and Fang Jiayin’s ‘light bulb’ for three to four years so indifferently. But then again, if it wasn’t for Fang Jiayin, she might not have ended up with Yan Rusheng.
If not for Fang Jiayin, that night wouldn’t have happened and she would’ve left. Then she wouldn’t be breathing the same air as him right now.
So, she wanted Yueyue to know that everything happened for a reason.
She wanted her to grow.
Everyone has to make their own decisions and experience heartbreak in their youth.
Every long-lasting relationship was like a diamond—it had to be refined and polished to get its eventual shine.
She needed to understand this, whether or not she eventually ends up with Ming Ansheng.
When she understands it, she wouldn’t be so devastated whenever she faces troubles in her relationships.
Xuxu’s words were of great encouragement to Su Yue.
It lifted her mood, and she smiled. “So you became indignant and learned how to cook?”
“That’s right.” Xuxu nodded as he recalled another memory. “He was running a high fever once and I cooked some porridge for him for the first time, but he despised it and said it tasted horrible.”
She frowned, expressing her distaste, but she still sounded blissful and affectionate.
Su Yue snorted. “So you unleashed this bad habit of his.”
Xuxu nodded.
“The vegetables are burnt.”
Suddenly, a burnt smell filled the air.
Xuxu hurriedly stirred the vegetables in the wok before chiding Su Yue, “This is all your fault. You kept talking to me.”
Su Yue frowned. “Nonsense. You were the one getting love-struck at the mention of my third brother.”
“Little Lass, you’ve gone astray.” Xuxu knocked her head unhappily.
…
After the meal, all of them sat on the sofa watching television. Xuxu and Yan Rusheng stood up and prepared to leave.
Su Yue walked them to the door.
They put on their shoes and Xuxu asked Su Yue, “Are you sure you don’t want to follow me back?”
“It’s alright.” Su Yue shook her head. Then she looked at Su Yan and smiled. “My brother is very lonely here. I’ll keep him company.”
“Thank you.”
Su Yan was still sitting on the sofa. When he heard Su Yue’s words, he thanked her teasingly.
Xuxu decided not to force her and smiled. “Then your third brother and I will get going. Let’s go shopping this weekend. It’ll be Chinese New Year’s in ten days’ time.”
Su Yue nodded.
She sent them out and watched them enter the lift. She then turned around and headed back into the house.
She closed the door and walked to the sofa, sitting down beside Su Yan.
