Chapter 996: In the End, You Never Loved Me Enough (6)
Once a person has expectations, they wish for time to pass quickly. After turning seventeen, Young Master Sheng always eagerly anticipated the arrival of April in the coming year.
During the May Day holiday, Si Nian came to B City for a visit. When they talked about this, Si Nian suddenly asked, "Brother Xiao, aren’t you worried about what would happen if your family actually found out and strongly opposed it? Although you and Su Goddess aren’t blood-related, she is the eldest daughter of the Sheng family. Everyone in this circle knows you have a sister. If it gets out that you’re dating, people won’t say nice things."
At the time, Sheng Yanxiao was leaning on the sofa. The Art College students were out sketching today, and they went to a forest park in the suburbs, so Sheng Yanxiao seemed a bit casual.
Upon hearing Si Nian’s words, Sheng Yanxiao lifted his eyelids slightly: "Nothing can be perfect in all aspects; knowing what you want is the most important."
Si Nian bit into an apple, widening his eyes as he looked at Sheng Yanxiao.
Wow... Did he encounter a ghost today? To hear a motivational statement from Young Master Sheng’s mouth?
Si Nian choked a little, then heard Sheng Yanxiao speak again: "Being subject to criticism is inevitable. As long as I can protect her, that’s enough. I won’t let her hear those messy comments. When it comes to my love for Su Weiyi, others won’t have the right to meddle."
Si Nian nodded; that’s true. When such words come from Sheng Yanxiao, it doesn’t feel arrogant; instead, it suits his temperament. That kind of motivational speech would never be something Sheng Yanxiao would say.
"But Brother Xiao, you might not care about others, but what about Uncle and Aunt? Do you think they’ll accept it?"
This time, Sheng Yanxiao didn’t respond, and Si Nian knew he’d touched on an unpleasant topic. He reached out to rub his nose, planning to say something to turn the page, when he heard Sheng Yanxiao speak in a deep voice: "As long as she wants to be with me, there’s nothing I can’t face."
Si Nian blinked and looked at Sheng Yanxiao. He had always known that Sheng Yanxiao was different from them, that in terms of intelligence and maturity, he surpassed them. Sometimes, it was hard for Si Nian to treat him as just another young man like himself. Looking at Sheng Yanxiao now, Si Nian rubbed his nose again.
He always knew Sheng Yanxiao liked the girl named Su Weiyi very much, but why did he like her so much? Si Nian seemed to have never really asked.
Just as the thought crossed his mind, he said, "Brother Xiao, if you’ll excuse my boldness, although Su Goddess is indeed beautiful, there are other pretty girls. Why must it be her? Or is it just because you grew up together? But that doesn’t..."
Si Nian didn’t continue, but the implication was clear.
Growing up together certainly develops feelings, but those feelings aren’t necessarily love. It could be dependence, or it could be habit. But equating dependence and habit with love doesn’t seem quite right.
Sheng Yanxiao clearly understood what Si Nian’s unfinished words were trying to convey, and he shot a scornful gaze at Si Nian, as if the question was foolish.
Is it love? Would Sheng Yanxiao not know?
Why must it be her? Because it must be her.
His feelings for Su Weiyi were never impulsive, nor were they mere habit or dependence. He was very clear about how he felt about her.
