He has lived with Han Yi for two years, and although they haven’t met often, she knows that Han Yi never messes around, especially with women. He’s never been so ambiguous and misleading.
If he’s acting , it means he’s interested in me, right?
"No... we..." Lin Wan couldn’t quite articulate it. There’s really been nothing between her and Han Yi so far. If there was, it’s just that they often run into each other, and he’s helped her a lot. Meeting a girl so many times, helping so much, and then she gives him clothes and food, deliberately getting close. It doesn’t feel like nothing.
But the two of them never brought it up in that way, so it’s normal to say there’s nothing between them.
"Oh, you, I don’t even know what to say to you. You haven’t met many people yet, and suddenly you meet such a handsome guy, it’s only natural to have a crush. I don’t blame you, but you have to think it through. Sometimes it’s just a moment of impulse, something fresh and new, not really a liking. Be careful with these kinds of things; keep your distance in the future." We don’t even know where he comes from, and my little sister’s heart is practically flying away, being all absent-minded. She’s got to be careful not to get fooled into counting money for someone else.
Lin Wan saw her brother with this elder-like preaching face for the first time and chuckled, "Brother, it seems like you’ve experienced unrequited love."
Lin Yinghui was a bit embarrassed, glared at Lin Wan, "What nonsense, don’t be shameless. We’re talking about you now. Girls are the easiest to suffer losses, so have less contact with those men."
"I’m usually in the shop, and most of the customers are men. If you don’t let me interact with them, what about our shop?" Lin Wan blinked her eyes, saying deliberately.
"That’s not what I mean, you..." Lin Yinghui was at a loss on how to educate his little sister when Liang Hongmei came in from outside, silently sat by the bed, and sighed.
"You both know our family situation. Ever since your dad passed away, I’ve been raising you two alone all these years. Now that you’ve grown up, it’s my oversight for not paying attention to this aspect. Actually, I’m not against you dating, but be cautious, especially you, Xiao Wan. Your brother is right. We come from rural areas and have no roots here, doing jobs that are not respectable. City people look down on people from small places like us. Pretty girls are more prone to suffer losses. Although I don’t oppose you dating, I also hope you can be rational and not get carried away by emotions. I’ve had an unfortunate life, and I don’t want you to end up like me. I just want you two to find someone good and live steady lives. If you are dating, don’t hide it, bring them over to let Mom see, so Mom can have peace of mind."
The siblings listened to Liang Hongmei’s words and both lowered their heads.
"Because of your dad, I have some bias against soldiers. I know it’s my issue and it shouldn’t affect you... If the person is good, and if it really reaches that point, I won’t oppose it. Xiao Wan, tell me, how much do you know about him?"
"Mom, don’t worry, there’s really nothing between us." Lin Wan wanted her mom to accept him, but she didn’t want to upset her mom either.
"Really, I’m not lying to you." Lin Wan, feeling guilty, glanced at her mom and then quickly lowered her head.
Liang Hongmei knew her daughter was stubborn. If she didn’t want to say, nothing would make her talk.
But she knew her daughter responded better to a soft approach rather than a hard one, and this matter couldn’t be rushed.
