Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Thoughts and Musings, There Will be Echoes

Days fly so fast once it’s Friday.

Fu Ying has been staying at Shen Liguang’s place for two days now.

Nanny Wu went home to take care of her daughter-in-law and probably won’t be back for a month; her dad, probably coming back to the country in a bit more than a week.

They said it was a business trip, but Fu Ying heard that Wen Tian’s mom also went on a business trip.

It’s unclear whether this is really for business or just a guise for enjoying a second spring.

How nice, even dad is in love.

She’s still... in unrequited love.

Xia Jinyun came over holding two drinks, looking at her listlessly lying down, eyes lacking any sparkle.

"What’s wrong? Are you upset about something?"

Fu Ying shook her head, fingers idly tapping on the table.

"Then what is it? Why the lack of energy?"

Fu Ying slowly exhaled, her fingers playing with the cup, appearing a bit frail.

"Jinyun, let me tell you something."

Xia Jinyun nodded: "Go ahead."

"I, I have someone I like."

Xia Jinyun wasn’t surprised, after all, at this age, it’s so easy to fall for someone.

"A classmate?"

Fu Ying thought for a moment: "Well, from the same school."

"Same grade?"

Fu Ying shook her head: "No."

"Haven’t told him? Or just too scared to?"

"Too scared to."

Fu Ying sighed deeply, resembling someone aged, with a heavy heart and a worried face.

Xia Jinyun couldn’t help but laugh: "So young and always sighing."

"I’ve never felt such torment."

Xia Jinyun, feeling it deeply, nodded: "I get it, a secret crush."

"No wonder, the other night you told me those words, it turns out, you’re also secretly in love."

Fu Ying detected from Xia Jinyun’s tone, there was a hint of mockery.

Fu Ying sighed heavily again, turning her head to look out the window.

"Sister Jinyun, having a secret crush is so tormenting. He is right in front of you, yet you dare not speak; and when he’s not around, you still want to see him."

"Yes, it is tormenting," Xia Jinyun lifted her hand to pat her little head, "No worries, I’ll take you out for a walk, to clear your mind."

The weather turned warmer; the city nights burgeoned with life.

At the small square, aunts were dancing, yet their presence was completely overshadowed by a group of youngsters.

Several young people, with dreadlocks and trendy outfits, played pop music, performing cool street dances.

One of the boys executed a stylish floor move that drew cheers.

Fu Ying was mesmerized, and then someone tapped her on the shoulder.

"Big brother?"

It had been a while since she last saw her big brother.

This time, Fu Ying noticed her big brother had lost a lot of weight, looking very tired.

"Big brother, you look so haggard."

"Been a bit busy lately, I’ll feel better after a sleep in the dorm, why are you here?"

"I came with Jinyun."

Fu Yi immediately looked for that person.

Seeing Fu Yi, Xia Jinyun walked over here hurriedly and accidentally bumped into a kid.

The little kid was crying; Xia Jinyun was frantically trying to soothe him.

"Big brother, what do you think about Sister Jinyun? I think she’s really gentle, very approachable, and feels like, the girl next door."

Fu Yi nodded: "Pretty good."

Fu Ying also nodded: "Little brother really liked Sister Jinyun, remember how he used to pursue her? But, seems like Sister Jinyun has someone she likes?"

Fu Yi raised an eyebrow, inquiring: "You know?"

"Yes, I know, Sister Jinyun and I are close, she tells me everything."

"What else do you know?"

Fu Ying looked troubled: "That’s Sister Jinyun’s secret, it wouldn’t be nice to spill it, right?"

"Let’s not talk about it."

"..."

It’s not quite what I expected.

"I’m saying, Sister Jinyun has a crush on someone. She started liking him when she was in junior high. By the time she was in the first year of high school, that boy was already in his third year. When she was in her second year, the boy graduated."

"Did she continue to have a crush on him?"

Fu Ying nodded: "Yes."

At this moment, Xia Jinyun bought a balloon for a child, and the child stopped crying.

Xia Jinyun was walking towards this side.

Fu Yi took out twenty yuan from his pocket and handed it to Fu Ying, pointing to the carousel not far ahead: "Go ride the carousel later."

Fu Ying frowned: "I don’t want to, I want to go to the night market with Sister Jinyun."

Fu Yi smiled and tenderly rubbed her head: "Good girl, just go."

Fu Ying: "..."

Fu Ying was forced to get on the carousel, and as it spun around, she felt a bit dizzy, then grabbed onto a pole and leaned on it.

She saw Xia Jinyun standing in front of her brother, appearing a bit shy.

They seemed like a good match.

They were talking.

The carousel played music and Fu Ying only caught one very tender question: "May I pursue you?"

At that moment, Fu Yi was standing beside Xia Jinyun, eyes fixed on the carousel.

Xia Jinyun slightly bowed her head, feeling a bit anxious.

Fu Yi asked her: "I heard you had a crush on someone for a long time?"

Xia Jinyun was startled and nodded: "Ah? Did the little sister tell you?"

"Yes and no."

Xia Jinyun looked puzzled: "Then who?"

"The first time I heard about it was when I was about to graduate from high school. During a gathering with some close classmates, someone told me that a junior girl had a crush on me."

Xia Jinyun’s breathing became heavier.

"Who, who told you?"

"Your deskmate at that time."

Xia Jinyun thought for a moment and remembered.

Her deskmate was a boy named Wei Yi, who was good friends with Shen Liguang and naturally knew Fu Yi.

Once during class, she was daydreaming and accidentally wrote "Fu Yi" on her notebook, which Wei Yi noticed.

"I thought after all these years, you had given up."

Xia Jinyun’s heart tightened, never having imagined that he had known all along.

Just that, he didn’t know that the girl was her.

"All these years, you’ve suffered," Fu Yi paused, then earnestly asked, "Regardless of the past, may I pursue you now?"

Xia Jinyun was shocked, eyes involuntarily turning red.

When Fu Ying turned around, she actually found her brother embracing Xia Jinyun.

That’s great.

Thoughts and desires always resonate.

That night, Fu Ying was exceptionally sensible and didn’t insist on going to the night market with Xia Jinyun, but went back early instead.

When Shen Liguang came to pick her up, Fu Ying was staring at the colorful lights in the square, lost in thought.

Even when he sat next to her, she did not notice.

"What are you looking at?"

Only then, when he spoke.

"My brother and Sister Jinyun are together."

Shen Liguang nodded: "That’s good."

"Brother..." Fu Ying paused and asked, "Will you also have a girlfriend in the future? Can you still be my brother?"

Fu Ying inhaled deeply, a bit afraid of the answer.

How could he possibly not have a girlfriend in the future.

Shen Liguang shifted his gaze from her face, looking into the distance: "If you always consider me as your brother, I will always be your brother."

Fu Ying turned her head to look at him: "Really?"

He looked forward, while Fu Ying observed his profile.

Defined contours, rugged, mature.
