"I'm not actually angry, I'm just very surprised. I didn't realize that my senior brother had silently given so much for me." Xia Ruoan shook his head slightly, turned his gaze to the person in front of him and said slowly.
"Well, Ouyang specifically told you not to tell you. He didn't want these complicated and trivial matters to interfere with your life and mood."
"And Gu Xingchen, after he learned about this, he not only helped you clear up the misunderstanding, but also said that if you two really could be together, he would do it even if he had to use some tricks. After all, he truly likes you, but you don't have any special feelings for him."
At this point, Bai Shuang couldn't help but nod slightly, indicating that she agreed with Gu Xingchen's move and felt that he really knew how to protect Ruoan.
"Just today, Gu Xingchen came to me in person and confessed his feelings to me face to face, but I rejected him without hesitation." Xia Ruoan paused, then turned his gaze to Bai Shuang and continued.
Hearing this, it was Bai Shuang's turn to be surprised: "Oh! I thought he would bury this feeling deep in his heart forever and not dare to express it easily.
On ordinary days, he seems like a coward who only secretly admires you."
"He is indeed very good, but I am not his destined one. Perhaps we can only say that we are destined to meet but not to be together." Xia Ruoan told his senior sister his true thoughts with a frank face.
"It's truly not meant to be!" Bai Shuang sighed softly, a hint of regret in her eyes. "He was clearly the one who most hoped to be with you, but in the end, it didn't work out. But Ruoan, please don't feel any burden from this."
"After all, the reason why others like you is entirely because you are good enough. You absolutely deserve all these wonderful things. So, let go and do the things that make you happy."
As she spoke, Bai Shuang gently opened her arms and hugged the person in front of her tightly, giving her warm comfort.
"Yes, I see. Thank you."
Leng Zexi was standing not far away. Although the two of them thought they were talking in a low voice, due to his extraordinary hearing, he heard every word of the conversation.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable joy in his heart. He secretly thought that perhaps all the good luck in his life had been used up in making Xia Ruoan his wife.
For him, what he pursued in this life was nothing more than Xia Ruoan. As long as he could be with her, it would be enough.
Thinking of this, the smile on Leng Zexi's face became brighter, and even his originally ordinary eyebrows seemed to be stained with a layer of happiness.
He carefully held the precious seed in his palm, as if it were a rare treasure, and then placed it very gently into an exquisite potted plant beside him.
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming somewhat subtle, Bai Shuang couldn't help but start to worry whether she would say or do something wrong.
After much hesitation, she finally decided not to continue the topic, so as not to embarrass everyone further. She went straight to the seedling cultivation.
Xia Ruoan looked at Bai Shuang's slightly guilty look, feeling both amused and helpless.
She shook her head and looked at Bai Shuang with a smile. How could she possibly be angry or blame them? To be honest, she was filled with gratitude.
Xia Ruoan took out all the seeds she had cultivated over the years. She originally planned to give only half of them to Gu Xingchen, but at the last moment, she changed her mind.
With his hands trembling slightly, Xia Ruoan finally picked out two-thirds of the seeds.
She knew that as long as she was willing to invest time and energy, she could still cultivate new seeds. And for Gu Xingchen, this might be the only time he would seek her help.
They both knew very well that from now on, their respective life paths would drift further and further apart and would no longer intersect.
In order to avoid unnecessary entanglement and pain, keeping distance and not meeting each other again is undoubtedly the best choice for both parties.
Some people are destined to only meet and know each other briefly in life, but not to walk hand in hand through the long years. Xia Ruoan felt that this was the case with her and Gu Xingchen.
However, Xia Ruoan finally blushed and shamelessly asked his senior brothers and sisters for some other kinds of rare seeds.
She carefully sorted and organized all the seeds, noting their names and precautions for planting.
After doing all this, she asked her senior sister to help deliver these seeds to Gu Xingchen.
Bai Shuang stood quietly by, watching Xia Ruo'an busying around, a helpless yet sentimental smile on her face. "I really don't know if it's lucky or unfortunate that Gu Xingchen likes you?"
Bai Shuang sighed softly.
Xia Ruoan was slightly startled when he heard this, then he lowered his head, fiddling with the cloth bag in his hand, and whispered, "I don't know... but I hope to do my best to repay the care and help he once gave me."
Bai Shuang shook her head gently, a trace of pity flashing in her eyes. "But I can confirm that being your friend is an incredibly happy thing. Even if someone only shows you a little kindness, you'll always do your best to respond with ten times or even more kindness. You'd rather suffer a little loss yourself than let others suffer even the slightest injustice."
After saying that, Bai Shuang sighed again, as if she was worried about Xia Ruoan's kind-hearted, almost silly character.
"This is all I can give him. I also asked you for so many precious seeds. I hope you won't be reluctant to give them to him, senior sister." Xia Ruoan said with a smile.
"If it's what you want, I'm willing to give you as much as you want. Okay, I won't say any more. I'll go first." Bai Shuang nodded to her while holding the bag.
Looking at Leng Zexi, he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Leng, our Ruoan has no shortage of suitors, so you must treat her well, otherwise you will regret it."
"Thank you for the reminder. I know. I will do my best to treat her well." Leng Zexi said seriously.
On their way back, Xia Ruoan and Leng Zexi received a message from Ouyang.
Xia Ruoan showed it to Leng Zexi.
Leng Zexi naturally would not refuse to help. Regardless of the relationship between Ouyang and Xia Ruoan, or the care Ouyang had given Xia Ruoan over the years, he could not refuse.
Leng Zexi asked his cousin who was abroad to help him find someone. "Tell him that I will send him the address when his plane lands."
Ouyang was relieved when he received the news. If Leng Zexi could say so, he must be able to do it.
On the other side, Brother Hai was also surprised when he saw Zhang Kai coming over.
