Chapter 1945: Loving him is a desecration of him

~7 min read 1,315 words

Jiang Motian's wish was still quite easy to fulfill.

After hearing this, Xie Wanyi said, "If you like it, I can buy it for you too."

Who would have thought, Jiang Motian refused: "That's different. What my brother gives is a reward; I want to feel at ease accepting it."

"If I give it to you, you won't feel at ease?"

"That's right, one shouldn't accept rewards without merit."

"But isn't it only natural for a girlfriend to accept gifts from her boyfriend?"

"That still requires reciprocity."

Reciprocity?

Xie Wanyi felt that made a lot of sense.

Then he leaned over and kissed Jiang Motian.

There were quite a lot of people queuing here, so Jiang Motian hurriedly lowered her voice and said, "Don't mess around!"

"I'm not messing around, I just wanted to see if my girlfriend is truly capable of reciprocity."

"What reci..."

Halfway through her sentence, Jiang Motian understood Xie Wanyi's little scheme.

Suddenly, she felt helpless and murmured, "Why have you been so... um... lately?"

There were many people here, so it wasn't easy for Jiang Motian to speak too bluntly.

But Xie Wanyi understood her meaning perfectly.

He curled his lips into a smile, leaned into Jiang Motian's ear, and whispered, "Perhaps spring is coming."

"What nonsense!"

Jiang Motian laughed and tapped Xie Wanyi.

The force was not great.

It looked very much like flirting.

In fact, in the eyes of passersby, they were indeed flirting.

This high-attractiveness flirting was truly a feast for the eyes.

People in the queue would steal glances over here from time to time.

Jiang Motian could feel those gazes.

This made her feel a bit uncomfortable.

She had nowhere to rest her eyes.

However, just as her gaze was drifting, she saw a familiar back.

That back looked just like Wei Yangyang.

But it was impossible for her to appear here.

At this moment, she should be at home keeping her brother company.

But it was really too similar; the more she looked, the more it resembled her...

Xie Wanyi also noticed that figure.

He did not hesitate and spoke up: "Wei Yangyang?"

Because Xie Wanyi's voice was relatively loud, Wei Yangyang heard it.

Immediately, she turned her head to look over.

Jiang Motian raised her eyebrows in surprise.

It actually was her!

This place was not far from the Li Family.

When Wei Yangyang was passing by, she suddenly wanted to drink milk tea, so she had the driver stop.

She didn't expect to run into acquaintances.

Wei Yangyang walked over with a smile and asked, "Are you two not busy today?"

"We're busy, this is just us taking time to meet up."

"Oh, am I disturbing you two?"

"Not at all, we're just chatting when we meet."

"What else would we be doing?"

Wei Yangyang was just saying it casually.

But soon, she realized the remark had an implied meaning and couldn't help but chuckle.

Jiang Motian poked her playfully.

Then she asked, "Have you met with my brother?"

This question made Wei Yangyang immediately restrain her smile and let out an "um."

"How is it, has my brother stopped being angry?"

"How is it, has my brother calmed down?"

Here and now, it really wasn't suitable to discuss such a topic.

Xie Wanyi also realized this.

So he said, "I'll wait in line for you two, you go wait outside."

"Alright, Yangyang will have the same as me."

After Jiang Motian finished speaking, she took Wei Yangyang's hand and walked outside the milk tea shop together.

After Jiang Motian finished speaking, she took Wei Yangyang's hand, and they walked outside the milk tea shop together.

In a secluded corner, Jiang Motian asked impatiently, "Quick, tell me, how did it go?"

"How did what go?"

"How the coaxing went! You were supposed to coax my brother, right?"

"Mm, I did. But the way things developed..."

"... was not quite what I expected."

"How was it different? Oh, Yangyang, just tell me, I'm dying of suspense!"

Jiang Motian was truly anxious; at this moment, she wished she could dive into Wei Yangyang's mind and extract the answer directly from her brain.

After hesitating for a moment, Wei Yangyang finally revealed the truth: "Your brother said he likes me."

This answer...

... made Jiang Motian's eyes widen instantly.

She thought to herself, did her prediction really have to be so accurate!

After the shock, Jiang Motian began to feel irrepressibly happy, thinking her brother had finally made some progress!

But then, seeing Wei Yangyang's troubled expression...

Jiang Motian suddenly felt that things were not looking good.

She pursed her lips and continued to ask, "And then?"

"I was kicked out by him."

The development of events had truly taken a sharp turn for the worse.

Jiang Motian caught her breath, then blinked her eyes and muttered, "No, what kind of situation is this!?"

"It's my fault too; I spoke my mind and made him angry."

"What did you say?"

Before Wei Yangyang could answer, Jiang Motian said to herself, "It must have been those words of rejection..."

Wei Yangyang did not deny it.

She lowered her eyes slightly, making it impossible to see the emotions in them.

Jiang Motian, however, no longer felt a shred of joy.

She had many things she wanted to say to her good friend.

But she was afraid that saying too much would scare Wei Yangyang.

In the end, Jiang Motian only asked one question: "Do you really have no feelings for my brother?"

"How could I have feelings for him? Being with him feels like a desecration of him!"

Jiang Motian's expression had been quite serious.

Hearing the first half of Wei Yangyang's sentence, her heart had skipped a beat.

But this second half...

... made her laugh out loud.

Even...

... desecration...

What on earth!

But as she laughed, Jiang Motian began to feel helpless again.

After a melancholy sigh, Jiang Motian asked, "What do you plan to do next?"

"I'm not planning anything. I will let life return to how it was. The way things are now makes me very uneasy; I feel uncomfortable all over."

Wei Yangyang didn't know when the situation had turned into what it was now.

She didn't like it.

She always felt it was very unreal.

Once she recovered, she would focus on her work.

She wouldn't let herself be entangled by strange emotions again.

Wei Yangyang's words made Jiang Motian feel a bit sorry for her brother.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Motian said tactfully, "My brother has changed a lot for you; I think he is sincere."

"I acknowledge his sincerity, but his changes also make him uncomfortable. Why bother?"

"Making changes for the person you like is naturally worth it, and he is willing to do it!"

"But what I yearn for is a natural attraction between two people. Changes in one's nature are only temporary; otherwise, there wouldn't be the saying that it is easier to change mountains and rivers than a person's nature."

"This..."

"If we were to be together because of temporary changes, what about the future? Wouldn't he just revert to his old ways? If we can only be together by relying on such changes, it only proves that the two of us are fundamentally incompatible."

Wei Yangyang's words left Jiang Motian gradually unable to respond.

In the end, she could only sigh.

Sigh, she had previously thought Wei Yangyang was very naive about matters of the heart.

She hadn't expected her to see things so thoroughly.

Since that was the case...

Jiang Motian gave a bitter smile and said, "I understand."

Just then, Xie Wanyi came out after buying milk tea.

He handed Wei Yangyang her cup.

Wei Yangyang took it and said with a smile, "Today, I'm lucky to have you two; otherwise, I would have had to wait in line for a long time."
