Wen Ruya continued watching TV, and after a dozen seconds, she said, "If you really like Shen Xinzhu, I won’t stop you. A so-called smart person and a fool are indeed a perfect match. As for your third brother, don’t try to push people onto him. Don’t lower your third brother’s standards."
Wen Ruya never liked Shen Xinzhu, but she was genuinely grateful for her saving her son.
So, as long as it was something that could be solved with money and wasn’t too excessive, she would turn a blind eye.
Can’t get angry, she’s my real mom.
Seriously, am I that bad?
"Mom, I just see Sister Xinzi as an older sister, I don’t have those thoughts." Helian Yi had to prove this point; he never had such thoughts from the beginning.
"As a man, if you don’t have those thoughts about Shen Xinzi, do you really think your third brother’s taste is worse than yours?" Wen Ruya urged him to think from another angle.
"Sister Xinzi is two years older than me."
"Two years is nothing; it’s completely acceptable," Wen Ruya compared, "Let’s put it this way, if a girl like Lu Xingzhi was two years older, if they were both two years older, which one would you choose to like?"
From a man’s perspective, there’s simply no comparison.
Any man would choose Lu Xingzhi!
Wen Ruya popped a cherry into her mouth, "See? You hesitated and didn’t speak. That proves it must be Little Zhi. So, stop doing anything meaningless in front of your third brother."
Helian Yi was silent. Indeed, everything he’d done over the years was utterly meaningless.
Even though Shen Xinzhu was excellent, just two years older, he never had any such thoughts, let alone Huo Jincheng.
Helian Yi dejectedly returned to his room; he decided not to meddle in Shen Xinzhu’s emotional affairs anymore.
After returning to her room, Helian Xi posted a video of Lu Xingzhi playing the piano on her social media. Since social media doesn’t allow long videos, she made it into a link that plays the video.
She captioned it as, "Little Zhi is awesome, fairy music played by a little fairy."
Helian Yi scorned her fiercely; as her brother, she’d never posted any videos of him on her social media.
Despite his disdain, Helian Yi clicked on the video.
Then he griped while watching it till the end, even watched it again.
Finally, he tossed aside his phone, thinking he must be out of his mind for watching Lu Xingzhi play piano twice.
Watching her play was better than watching Shen Xinzhu’s videos!
Although he said this, Helian Yi had attended Shen Xinzhu’s concerts live, but he’d never watched a video of hers .
Helian Yi opened Shen Xinzhu’s concert video, watched for a minute, then lost interest.
He tried to force himself to watch longer, but it was no use.
Could his ears have just been cleansed? How did Shen Xinzhu’s playing level feel a bit... low?
Unconvinced, Helian Yi reopened Lu Xingzhi’s video. Strangely, he didn’t feel the urge to close it immediately.
He even felt that it could go on a bit longer.
In the end, he concluded that perhaps Lu Xingzhi’s performance offered not just an auditory delight but also a visual one.
Thinking about this possibility, he irritably ruffled his hair.
