CHAPTER 889: CHAPTER 889: WEI XIAOSU’S FEELINGS

Wei Hongjun waved his hand, sighing, "In the military district, my boxing skills are among the top, but facing a freak like you, I always lose after a short while. It really makes me upset!"

Ye Xuan retracted his fists and stood upright, smiling as he said, "Uncle Wei, what are you saying? They say ’a punch is afraid of a young man,’ I just take advantage of being young to luckily win a move or two. If we were the same age, I might not be your opponent."

"Don’t be modest, kid. Do you think I can’t tell whose skills are better? If I can’t win, I can’t win; there’re not so many excuses!" Wei Hongjun said.

"Dad, you’re already amazing! After all, people like Brother Xuan, who have such freakish talent in martial arts, are really rare in this world! So, it’s not strange that you lost to him!" Wei Xiaosu said comfortingly.

"Haha, you truly are my own daughter, you know how to speak up for your father. I haven’t spoiled you in vain."

Wei Hongjun laughed heartily, walked over to rub Wei Xiaosu’s head, and then turned to Ye Xuan and said, "Xiao Xuan, you guys play first, I’ll go lend Susu’s mom a hand in the kitchen."

With that, he turned and walked into the house, leaving Ye Xuan and the other two young people in the yard.

"Brother Xuan, let me tell you something fun!" Wei Xiaosu bounced over to Ye Xuan, giggling as she spoke to him.

"What’s the fun thing?" Ye Xuan asked, puzzled.

"Hehe, just now when Sister Miaochan and I went out, we ran into that little tyrant, Zhao Zicong, from Uncle General Zhao’s family. He saw how beautiful Sister Miaochan is and wanted to chat her up, even asked us to a movie. So I told him Sister Miaochan is your girlfriend! Guess what happened? He went pale with fright on the spot and ran off without saying a word!"

As she spoke, Wei Xiaosu burst into unrestrained laughter, "Hahaha! Isn’t it funny? Thinking about him looking more terrified than a mouse seeing a cat, I laughed so much my stomach hurts."

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle, "It’s good he knows his limits and ran fast! Otherwise, this kid would be in trouble."

It seemed that his past reputation still lingered, otherwise Zhao Zicong wouldn’t have been so scared just hearing his name!

However, there were still some things to do next; he couldn’t stay here for too long, otherwise, he wouldn’t mind stirring up some big action to let some old acquaintances know that Ye Xuan is back!

...

At seven in the evening, dinner officially started at Wei Xiaosu’s house.

Ye Xuan and Lu Miaochan sat at the dining table in the living room, enjoying various delicious homemade dishes personally made by Wei Xiaosu’s mother, He Lan, with the Wei family. The atmosphere was harmonious and warm.

As he ate, Ye Xuan continually praised He Lan’s culinary skills, saying they’re even better than those of a five-star hotel chef. If she were to open a restaurant, she would instantly overshadow any restaurant in Shangjing, making He Lan so happy she almost couldn’t stop smiling.

At the same time, he didn’t forget to chat and exchange pleasantries with Wei Hongjun, clinking glasses. He also discussed some military and national matters with the old commander Wei Bangguo, which made the old man laugh heartily and treat Ye Xuan as if he were his own grandson!

From this, it could be seen that Ye Xuan was very well-liked in the Wei family and was not considered an outsider at all.

The dinner lasted more than an hour and was finally nearing its end.

After dinner, Ye Xuan chatted with Wei Hongjun and Wei Bangguo for a while longer, only to bid farewell to the Wei family at nine o’clock in the evening and leave the military district with Lu Miaochan.

Wei Xiaosu stood alone at the door, gazing at the car gradually driving away in the distance, with a look of daze and a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

Her expression seemed somewhat lost and bewildered, thinking to herself, what’s happening to me? Why am I feeling this way? It seems like I’m really sad about their departure!

Ever since going to the East Sea and seeing Ye Xuan, she found that she had changed completely, becoming more sensitive and increasingly sentimental than before.

Wei Xiaosu couldn’t understand why this was happening. Is it because of Ye Xuan? But when she’s with him, she doesn’t feel this way, yet when she’s alone, she regularly feels absent-minded as if something is missing inside!

She wasn’t sure the reason for this; does this mean she likes Ye Xuan?! What does liking someone actually feel like?

"Susu, what are you doing standing here alone?"

At this moment, a gentle voice came from behind, as He Lan slowly approached Wei Xiaosu, gently placing a hand on her shoulder.

Wei Xiaosu glanced back at her, her gaze turning from lost to firm, and softly said, "Mom, do you know what it’s like to like someone?"

"Hmm? Why would you ask that?" He Lan was taken aback, then asked curiously.

"Mom, I think... I might have already fallen for Brother Xuan! But I’m not sure if I really like him..."

After saying that, Wei Xiaosu’s gaze returned to the previous location.

However, the car had long disappeared into the night, leaving only the inky darkness!

Hearing her daughter’s words, He Lan couldn’t help but shiver.

She took a deep breath and carefully observed her daughter’s expression before saying, "Susu, I think you might be overthinking. You only met Ye Xuan when you were little, and it’s been so many years since then. How could you fall in love at first sight?"

Wei Xiaosu shook her head, "Mom, I feel it’s not like you said, I really seem to like Brother Xuan! I... what should I do now?"

Her expression carried a hint of impatience and panic. Before, she thought that even if she truly liked Ye Xuan, she could accept it calmly!

Liking someone isn’t supposed to be a complicated thing, right?

But when she realized she liked Ye Xuan, she couldn’t remain calm as she expected, nor could she be open-minded about it!

Facing her feelings, her emotions were incredibly conflicted, resembling those of other young girls, filled with anxiety and shyness. She was even fearful, worried about what Ye Xuan would think if he knew her thoughts...

Seeing her daughter in this state, He Lan’s expression also became serious: "Susu, you must remember, Ye Xuan already has a girlfriend now. No matter what you feel about him, you’re not allowed to think along those lines! Doing so will not only harm him but also yourself."

Wei Xiaosu’s eyes dimmed, "Is there... no other possibility?"

He Lan sighed softly and said, "I’m telling you this for your own good. I don’t want you to ruin someone else’s relationship! If you truly like him and want to be with him, the only way is to wait for him to break up. Then you can be together, and I won’t oppose it."

"Wait for him... to break up with Sister Miaochan?"

Wei Xiaosu smiled bitterly. With Brother Xuan and Sister Miaochan’s relationship, how could they ever break up?

Even if they did break up, Brother Xuan has several women around him. Is she supposed to wait for each of them? By then, she’d be old and gray!

"Mom, I’m tired, I’m going to rest now."

Wei Xiaosu absent-mindedly said, then turned back into the house, heading towards her room upstairs.
