Chapter 85: Understanding His Feeling

Zihan and Liuli were also dazed.

Liuli was puzzled; she had cried once today, why did she cry again this time?

The key is where the tear point is.

They didn't say anything, nor did they do anything, yet she cried again.

Yu Ke used to be all manly, not someone who cries at the drop of a hat.

"What are you crying for?"

Zihan asked, although she and Yu Ke love-hate each other, enjoying teasing her, but seeing her cry also made her feel somewhat uneasy.

"I don't know what's wrong with me today…… but I…… just want to cry……… I…… also…… don't know why……"

Yu Ke said, voice choking.

"Don't cry, Bai Xu, go comfort her quickly."

Zihan said to Bai Xu.

"Honey, don't cry."

Bai Xu truly didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only say that.

"Okay, I won't cry."

Yu Ke agreed, but she still couldn't help crying.

"You weren't moved again, were you?"

Liuli seemed to have a faint idea why Yu Ke was crying—could it be because of what Zihan said?

When she called today, Yu Ke cried too because of those words she said.

How come she gets moved so easily? Yu Ke doesn't know either.

Although she claims to be the school's Baishitong, she has no true friends around her.

The so-called friends are those who only seek her, Su Yu Ke, for help when they need it; when they don't, they never contact her, and even if they meet on the street they act as if they don't know her.

She knows this, but whenever someone asks her for help, she can't refuse and can only assist.

Only Liuli and Zihan are her true friends.

Now she also understands the definition of a friend.

"Yes…… Luo Zihan, it's all your fault…… what moving words did you say……"

Yu Ke said while wiping her tears, and Bai Xu quickly fetched her a tissue.

Gu Die off to the side just felt bored, bored to the point of a headache.

His good brother found the person he likes and is going to marry, so he just ought to bless them.

Even if it's just impulsive now and he doesn't really like the other person, after marriage they can slowly cultivate feelings.

Just like him and Liuli—he married her just to spite Gu Qing, a momentary impulse.

And Liuli was impulsive too, but the two of them are now treating each other well.

So he thinks marriage is a good thing.

"What moving words did I say?"

Zihan retorted.

"You said if Bai Xu treats her badly, you and I would go smash his bar; I guess I also said those things today, which made her cry."

Liuli explained.

"Look, you two make her cry once a day, yet you say I shouldn't make her cry."

Bai Xu complained about Zihan and Liuli.

"We can, you can't! Besides, those are happy, moved tears; if you make her sad, watch me not let you off."

Zihan talked back to Bai Xu.

Gu Die couldn't be bothered to listen to them anymore; the food was right in front of them, yet they didn't eat, just kept talking.

Anyway, he couldn't get a word in, so he might as well eat first.

"You can relax, okay?"

Bai Xu didn't know how many times he had to tell them before they'd feel at ease.

How come Bai Xu is so unreliable? He's just so worrisome.

Gu Die, after all, is also his brother; Yu Ke's sisters all know to worry about Yu Ke.

How come he hasn't said a word? Instead he's just eating.

"Gu Die, can't you speak up for me?"

Bai Xu asked.

"What should I say?"

"We've known each other for so many years—don't you know my character? At least tell them I, Bai Xu, am a good man."

"Oh."

Gu Die replied.

"Oh? You still "oh"? Are we still brothers? From now on I won't say good things about you in front of my sister-in-law!"

"I don't need it."

Gu Die replied coldly.

"Fine! Fine! We're not brothers anymore!"

"Then you can leave."

"I'm at my sister-in-law's place; whether I leave or not is up to her."

"But since you and Gu Die aren't brothers anymore, you don't have to call me sister-in-law."

Liuli said teasingly.

That's how it is, I'm used to calling you my sister-in-law.

"Don't!" Yu Ke exclaimed, no longer crying from excitement, "We're not brothers anymore, so there's no need to call Liuli sister-in-law! Are you stupid?"

What? Su Yu Ke, you really don't want to call me sister-in-law?

Liuli saw through Yu Ke's thoughts and retorted.

No, I didn't mean that...

You are, Bai Xu calling me sister-in-law I've heard enough; why don't you call me once so I can hear?

Zi Han also ate while watching the drama with an amused look.

I won't call you, Liuli, are you younger than me?

This isn't a matter of age, it's about seniority, you know?

Liuli laughed.

Anyway, I won't call, we're not married yet, I can avoid marriage.

Never mind, whether you call or not doesn't matter.

Liuli quickly said, she was just joking about making her call her sister-in-law.

But she can't refuse to marry Bai Xu just because of this.

Then wouldn't Bai Xu hate her to death?!

Su Yu Ke, if you keep saying such things, I'll really get angry.

Bai Xu warned, but without any threatening aura.

Bai Xu has always been good-tempered and hardly ever gets angry.

He shows no sign of sternness at all.

Then go ahead and get angry; I've never seen you angry before, I'm curious.

Yu Ke laughed, just a moment ago she was crying, then she got excited again, and now she's laughing.

Bai Xu again wiped her face, indeed women are fickle.

I really don't want to get angry with you.

Bai Xu replied.

That's right, where could you find a good man like Bai Xu?

Zi Han teased.

She and Bai Xu have known each other for many years, so Zi Han naturally knows his character.

Otherwise, Gu Die couldn't have been brothers with him for so many years without ever having a falling out.

When she had no friends, needless to say she envied the two of them.

But now she has Liuli and Yu Ke, and she also feels that others would envy her.

Listen, they're saying I'm a good man.

Bai Xu proudly said to Yu Ke.

Whether it's good or not is up to me to decide.

Yu Ke looked at Bai Xu.

It's you who decides, everything is up to you, isn't that enough? Come, wife, eat more meat, get a bit plumper.

Bai Xu picked up some meat and put it in Yu Ke's bowl.

Zi Han listened to Bai Xu repeatedly calling "wife," and was truly speechless.

Liuli also felt speechless.

Husband, come, eat more, look how thin you are.

Liuli said while also picking up some meat and putting it in Gu Die's bowl.

Thank you, wife.

Gu Die gave Liuli a fond smile.

Zi Han looked at Bai Xu and Yu Ke, then at Liuli and Gu Die, then at herself, really wanting to find a crack in the ground to hide.

I'm not eating!

Zi Han said angrily.

These four of them are showing off their love, and she's just one person—she really can't stand it!

Why aren't you eating? Look how thin you've become!

Liuli knew Zi Han was definitely angry, so she quickly put some vegetables in her bowl and poked Gu Die with her elbow.

Come, cousin, eat more.

Gu Die also put some vegetables in Zi Han's bowl.

Zi Han felt moved to tears; it was the first time Gu Die had ever given her vegetables.

After all these years, he finally gave her vegetables once.

Zi Han, eat more, eat meat, being fair and plump looks nice.

Yu Ke also put a big piece of meat in Zi Han's bowl.

Zi Han, eat more!

Bai Xu also understood what Liuli and the others meant, and also gave Zi Han some vegetables.

Zi Han had just been angry and didn't want to eat, but now she feels happy enough to fly.

You're all so thin, you just want to fatten me up, right?

Zi Han retorted.

"Love to eat or not?"

Yu Ke told Zihan, they were serving her food, but she took their good intentions as spite.

"Eat, why not eat? I've gotten plump, don't look down on me."

Zihan laughed.

"Then cut the nonsense, hurry up and eat."

Yu Ke said, and also put a big piece of meat into Zihan's bowl.

"You also eat more, you all also eat more, I'm hungry, I want to eat well."

After saying that, Zihan started eating big mouthfuls, as if the person who just said she wouldn't eat wasn't her.

Liuli, Yu Ke, and Bai Xu watched Zihan wolf down her food and all laughed.

Before, Zihan didn't eat like this; like Gu Die, she used to chew slowly.

Because she never wanted Liuli to wait for her to eat, her eating manner turned out like this.

"What are you looking at me for? What are you laughing at?"

Zihan felt that the few of them staring at her were somewhat puzzling.

"Eat slowly, don't choke."

Liuli said.

"Okay! I know!"

After answering, Zihan lowered her head and ate hard.

It seems she's really hungry; she ate quite a lot at noon, yet still feels hungry at night.

If she keeps eating like this, she feels she'll really get fat.

"Yu Ke, are you at the Gu Family tonight?"

After finishing her meal, Zihan asked Yu Ke.

"Of course, where else would I go?"

Yu Ke retorted.

"Go to Bai Xu's house, you're already together, even talking about marriage."

"But we haven't gotten married yet, moving in wouldn't be appropriate."

"What's inappropriate about it? My house is just me."

Bai Xu laughed.

"Aren't your parents around?"

Yu Ke asked curiously; she had indeed never heard Bai Xu mention his parents.

Bai Xu kept silent, fell into silence; Gu Die looked at him, and he understood what he was thinking.

"Bai Xu is an orphan."

Zihan whispered to Yu Ke.

"Oh..."

Yu Ke looked at Bai Xu with pity.

"Bai Xu, I will always love you and always treat you well."

Yu Ke grabbed his hand.

"Okay."

Bai Xu smiled, his smile as sunny as before, and the gloom around him dispersed.

Liuli also wondered why Bai Xu had just fallen silent.

"Bai Xu is an orphan; he has always treated his cousin as family."

Zihan noticed Liuli's confusion and quietly explained to her.

"Bai Xu, eat more!"

Upon hearing that, Liuli gave Bai Xu a big drumstick.

An orphan, just like her; she understands his feelings.

"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law."

"What's there to be polite about? You already call me sister-in-law, we're family now, and from now on you have one more family member—me."

Liuli said to Bai Xu.
