Chapter 463 - 464: Unrequited Love is Painful, Isn’t It?
It’s a state where he actually wants to look at Di Xiaxia, but deliberately avoids it, acting nonchalant as he chats lightly with others.
Gu Qibao, of course, utterly understands what it’s like to have a secret crush on someone!
Because, once upon a time, she herself had a crush on Bo Chengyan.
Back then, she felt the same way: shy, awkward, and thoroughly unsure about confessing her feelings.
It requires a great deal of courage and the resilience to face rejection!
The deeper you are in love, the harder it is to confess.
Recalling her feelings at the time, she wanted to tell Bo Chengyan that she liked him, yet she feared the awkwardness afterwards if he rejected her.
Yet, none of that is the point! The point is that it would hurt so much!
If you don’t confess or make it clear, you could at least maintain the illusion, and avoid the subsequent awkwardness.
Once the barrier is broken, you would either be together or drift apart – one to pursue, one to run.
Having a secret crush is very painful, but Gu Qibao curiously wondered if her eldest brother was, in fact, secretly in love with Di Xiaxia.
Additionally, she thought that given her brother’s excellence, captivating Di Xiaxia would definitely be a cinch!
However, she suddenly remembered that Di Xiaxia had been into Di Mingjue for twenty years – a fact that Di Mingzhe was aware of.
If it turned out that her big brother was indeed secretly in love with Di Xiaxia, it would be quite tragic indeed.
However, outsiders can’t really help in matters of the heart. Each person has their own temperament, and not every path to love is the same.
Not everything can be solved by simply sleeping on it.
It seems that her elder brother is indeed quite charming.
But he’s the reserved type of charming!
This love story seems quite complicated, doesn’t it?
Actually, she can’t quite accuse her elder brother of indecisiveness, since this is just part of their emotional journey.
Just like how her relationship with Di Mingjue started with fights. It’s simply each person’s different love story.
So, one cannot generalize.
While Gu Qibao was busy speculating, Di Xiaxia, helped by Di Jinxuan, walked over and sat down next to her. She then cheerfully greeted her, "Hi, third sister-in-law."
"Hi." Gu Qibao waved back enthusiastically.
Di Xiaxia, clutching her stomach, looked at Fang Hao with pleading eyes, "Mom, can we eat now? I’m starving."
"If you’re hungry, why did you hide in your room?" Fang Hao immediately berated her.
Di Xiaxia retracted her neck slightly, "I got caught up playing games."
"Enough!" Di Mingzhe suddenly cut in, his voice low and edged with irritation, "Let’s not discuss anything else during dinner."
Di Xiaxia scratched her head, then promptly picked up her chopsticks, "Let’s eat."
Quietly whispering to Di Jinxuan, Gu Qibao asked, "Is that our eldest brother sticking up for Xiaxia?"
Di Jinxuan nodded, "Seems so. But don’t worry, Xiaxia’s used to being scolded by mom. She’s fine."
Unexpectedly, when Fang Hao heard about the video game, her eyes lit up. She sat back down, looking delighted, "Xiaxia, you promised to make me a weapon last time. Why isn’t it done yet?"
Di Xiaxia swallowed a couple grains of rice, "The materials are hard to gather, besides, I promised to make one for Jinxuan first."
Fang Hao pouted, "Materials are always hard to gather, but you should have made mine first."
Gu Qibao sat there, dumbfounded. She couldn’t help but poke Di Jinxuan, "Our mom also plays video games?"
"Crazy about them!" Di Jinxuan nodded.
Gu Qibao widened her eyes, thoroughly amazed - she definitely did not see that coming!
