He could swear to San Bao that nothing would happen with Zhai Xin because Zhai Xin did not even take a fancy to this young lady named Zhou Xing. Zhai Xin only regarded Zhou Xing as a younger sister like Xu Lingling. With such a pure sibling relationship, if Zhai Xin were really to have any other ideas about Zhou Xing, he would be worse than a beast!
But with the appearance of Zhai Xin’s tone today, Zhai Yi was now on his toes again. He even considered whether he should find something for Zhai Xin to get busy with so that he would not have any free time to meet Zhou Xing for a date in the near future. It had only been a few dates, but Zhai Xin had already undergone such a huge change! If he were to let the two of them meet a few more times, Zhai Yi thought that his mom’s greatest fear might even become reality!
“What nonsense are you spouting? I think of Zhou Xing as my younger sister. Just having another person by your side to chat with and talk a stroll with, your mood will improve as well. I’m just afraid that you’ll get bored. It’s not a must for you to find a girlfriend, of course. As long as you’re willing, you could just find someone to chat with you.” Zhai Xin suddenly transformed into an understanding elder brother who placed great importance on Zhai Yi’s mental health. “If you’re not willing to find someone else to chat with, I’ll sacrifice my personal time to chat with you more often. How’s that?”
He had no other choice. He and Zhai Yi shared the same mother after all. If he did not care about Zhai Yi, then who would?
Naturally, once Zhai Yi found a girlfriend, he would hand this burden over entirely to Zhai Yi’s girlfriend.
Zhai Yi looked at Zhai Xin seriously. After confirming that there was no other situation, he finally relaxed his raised brow. “Thank you for your concern. As for your suggestion, I don’t need it at this moment. For me, my studies come first before anything else. I’ve just reached the age of twenty. I’ll still have loads of time to find a girlfriend and discuss the matter of marriage in the future. But I’ll only have a few more years to focus on my studies. Since you’ve given me advice, I’ll give you some advice too. Don’t waste your most precious time on your ‘younger sister’.”
She was not even his girlfriend.
Younger sister? Neither was she his biological younger sister.
He already felt that spending time on a girlfriend was wasting his time and life. As for someone like Zhai Xin, who was spending all his time on a younger sister he had taken on, that was even more meaningless. “Zhai Xin, don’t forget that your goal is to join the air force, not to become a psychiatrist and provide those ‘younger sisters’ with counseling and advice. I’ll give you even more advice. Our family has more men than women, but I’m sure both you and I are clear about the tempers of those women at home. You may view Zhou Xing as your younger sister, but in other people’s eyes, Zhou Xing is your girlfriend. With this girlfriend by your side, you might miss out on a young lady whom you really like!”
Anyway, if the women in the Zhai family found out about this, Zhai Xin would, more or less, be in a situation of falling out of love. Even if it was merely out of pity, he should not offer himself out of pity. That would only deepen the misunderstanding and dig himself a deeper grave.
He should just cut it off cleanly at this time. Otherwise, Zhai Xin would eventually get a taste of shooting himself in the foot. He could only hope that Zhai Xin could still smile and remain bright and cheery like he was now if that situation were to really occur.
Zhai Xin paused for a moment. “You’re just exaggerating. If I really have someone that I like, I believe that that young lady would understand why I did such a thing. If she can’t understand that, then all I can say is that we’re not of the same species and we won’t last long together. Only someone who can understand me will be my true soulmate.”
He was just doing a good deed and had no feelings for Zhou Xing. If she was going to get jealous over this and was going to be so petty without trying to understand him, he could never like a girl like that.
“Hehehe...” Zhai Yi laughed but did not say anything more. Anyway, he had already done his due diligence in reminding his brother. He had never imagined that Zhai Xin would have such an idealistic side to him and such unrealistic ideas. One could not simply control the matters of the heart just because they wanted to.
If Zhai Xin really liked someone but felt that she did not think in the same way as him and was thus not his soul mate, would he really be able to give up on her just like that? Innocent and childish! He would wait for that day when Zhai Xin would be slapped in the face by his own words.
At the same time, Zhai Yi confirmed something else. ‘Dating’ Zhou Xing could have given Zhai Xin some new feelings and stimulation. But up until now, Zhai Xin had not been truly moved by Zhou Xing. Otherwise, Zhai Xin could not be speaking so openly about the possibility of meeting a girl that he truly liked in the future.
“Zhai Xin, I hope that when that day really comes, you’ll be able to hold on to that. And you stink with sweat! Go take a shower!” Under their mom’s influence, both Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin placed great importance on their personal hygiene whenever it was possible.
In other boys’ dormitories, they might accumulate a whole week’s worth of dirty socks and clothes and dump them into the washing machine all at once. But Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin did not have such a bad habit. The moment they undressed, they would wash their clothes right then and there. Because they had always been thrown into the military for training by Zhai Sheng, both Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin were adept at washing their clothes and even did it much faster and cleaner than normal young ladies!
In this way, Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin’s room was always the cleanest.
After this date, Zhai Xin said that he was busy and had asked Zhou Xing not to find him. As such, Zhou Xing held back and stopped herself from visiting Zhai Xin for an entire week. What Zhai Yi was pleased about was that in the week that Zhou Xing had not appeared, neither had Zhai Xin mentioned anything related to Zhou Xing. As her boyfriend, he had never talked about Zhou Xing and much less shown that he was even thinking of Zhou Xing.
Seeing Zhai Xin’s reaction, Zhai Yi was pleased yet worried. He was pleased because he was right after all. There were truly no feelings between Zhai Xin and Zhou Xing. But what worried Zhai Yi was that Zhai Xin was already of this age, but why was he still thinking like a child in this aspect? He was not at all enlightened in this area.
Earlier on, they had been worried that Zhai Xin would do things that adults did too early, resulting in an additional person in Zhou Xing’s stomach. But based on Zhai Xin’s behavior, Zhai Yi felt that they could put this worry aside and worry about it five years later. In five years’ time, if Zhai Xin were to get any woman pregnant, it would be much easier to resolve the problem then. They would just have to make Zhai Xin marry that girl.
“Zhou Xing, where’s that handsome boyfriend of yours? I feel like he hasn’t come to visit you in a long while. Did you two quarrel with each other and break up?”
