#128 - Chapter 128 A ray of light in life! She took the initiative to say she liked me?
The lighter flared to life.
Only then did Xia Qingmo realize that all around her, little sticks were stuck into the ground.
Those were…
Sparklers!
The lighter ignited the fuses, and the sparks quickly spread.
Under the pre-arranged 'little mechanism,' hundreds of sparklers were lit one after another.
“You’re wasting money again…” She pursed her lips tightly.
“These are very cheap, only a few cents each,” Chen Hao explained.
“Oh…”
The sparklers surrounding her spewed out countless tiny sparks.
And she…
Was standing in the center of the fireworks.
At that moment, her heart seemed to be ignited as well.
Sticking so many sparklers in the ground, his back must be sore, right? How much effort did he put in?
Alright!
Deng Xiaoyan's efforts were all credited to Chen Hao.
“Chen Hao…”
Her heart was filled with endless warmth.
For the first time, she took the initiative to reach out, quietly moving closer to Chen Hao's hand.
Closer and closer.
But…
She really couldn't take the initiative for that last little bit of distance.
Suddenly!
A large hand reached out.
Firmly holding her hand, he said, “Qingmo, you are so beautiful.”
Was that a love confession?
How cheesy was that?
Xia Qingmo, blushing and looking down, secretly glanced at him and found endless affection in his eyes.
As if he were looking at the most precious treasure!
She believed that what he had just said came from the bottom of his heart.
“Chen Hao…” She seemed to want to say something.
“Qingmo!”
At that crucial moment.
A familiar voice rang out, “So you’re here?!”
Xia Qingmo's face paled, and she pulled her hand back as if she had been burned, creating distance between herself and Chen Hao, “Sister, how could you…”
In front of her!
Xia Qingyan was just ten meters away.
Chen Hao was also dumbfounded.
He had been carefully avoiding Xia Qingyan.
After all, his identity was completely different in front of Xia Qingyan.
He didn't want her to talk nonsense.
“Boyfriend?” Xia Qingyan smiled casually.
“No… no…”
Xia Qingmo lowered her head, repeatedly denying, “We are just… good friends!”
“Chen Hao?”
Xia Qingyan looked at Chen Hao, “We met in the commercial street last time—do you think you and Qingmo are suitable?”
“Suitable.” Chen Hao did not hesitate at all.
Did you find out?
Since it has been exposed, why hide it?
“Qingmo, what do you think?” She looked at her sister again.
“Sister, we are friends…”
“I’m asking you, do you think you and Chen Hao are suitable?”
“I…”
Xia Qingmo's hands twisted her clothes tightly.
Suddenly!
She raised her head, staring at her sister, “I like him! Sister, I like Chen Hao!”
Xia Qingyan's eyes widened instantly.
Very shocked!
Very, very shocked!
She knew her sister too well. With her sister's introverted and shy personality, how much courage would it take to say such a thing in front of her?
How could Chen Hao not be surprised?
Facing jokes from classmates and roommates, she had always tried her best to deny it.
He felt that her denial was normal.
Because that was her nature.
What about now?
She was not facing roommates, but her sister, who held a very high authority in her heart.
But she said it so firmly!
“Are you sure?” Xia Qingyan asked again.
“I’m sure!”
The girl's eyes showed an unparalleled determination, “No one is like him, protecting me and treating me well regardless of everything!”
“Sister, I’m not stupid, how could I not feel it?”
“To me, he is like…”
“A ray of light!”
A ray of light that illuminates life!
Chen Hao stared blankly at the girl beside him.
He moved closer and grabbed her little hand, “Actually, you are that ray of light.”
“Chen Hao, can we talk?” Xia Qingyan asked.
“Sister…”
Xia Qingmo was shocked.
“Qingmo, go back first.”
Chen Hao smiled easily, “No matter who is whose light, it can’t be easily shattered by external forces, right?”
“Chen Hao…”
“Don’t worry, it’s okay!”
“I…”
Finally.
Xia Qingmo glanced at her sister, “Then I’ll go back first?”
… …
Ten minutes later
Chen Hao leaned against a big tree by the roadside.
Pa!
Jianlibao was opened, and he handed it to Xia Qingyan casually, “Want to drink?”
“No, thank you.” Xia Qingyan shook her head.
Glug!
Chen Hao took a big gulp.
“When did it start?” She stared into Chen Hao’s eyes.
“A long time ago.”
He smiled, “I’ve just been chasing her all along. If you hadn’t shown up tonight, I wouldn’t have gotten to this point.”
It was the first time he had heard Qingmo take the initiative to say the word 'like'.
The corners of his mouth almost stretched to the roots of his ears.
So what if it’s exposed!
At least, the appearance of his sister-in-law seemed like a divine assist!
“You like Qingmo?” She asked again.
“I like her.”
“How much do you like her?”
“I like her enough to give everything.”
“Have you said this to Ren Xue?”
“Huh?”
Chen Hao was confused, “What do you mean?”
“The entire company is rumored that you and Ren Xue are dating!” Xia Qingyan’s eyes became sharp.
“Is that so?”
Chen Hao came back to his senses and looked at her frankly, “Then why don’t you ask her? Ask the people who spread the rumors? As the CEO of a large company, do you just believe what others say without your own judgment?”
“I…”
“I like Xia Qingmo, I only like her!”
Every word was powerful and resounding.
That look.
That tone.
Allowing no argument!
“Alright!”
Xia Qingyan nodded, “Regarding Ren Xue, I only heard rumors and didn’t verify them.”
“Even if what you said is true, I still can’t understand…”
“Why did you choose Qingmo?”
Her sister was very beautiful and very smart.
But Chen Hao was like the scorching sun in the sky!
Brilliant!
Dazzling!
There were too many girls who liked someone like him, and his vision must be very high.
It could be said.
As long as he was willing.
There were few girls in the entire China that he couldn't pursue.
She was not so arrogant as to think that her sister was unique in China—the gap between them was too big!
“Sister Xia, what is your criteria for choosing a partner?” Chen Hao asked back.
“Wh…what?”
Xia Qingyan was stunned.
The other party's thinking jumped too much, and she couldn't react for a while.
“You entered Tsinghua at 16 and were specially recruited by Harvard at 20. What is the criteria for a genius like you to choose a partner?”
Chen Hao looked at her with a smile, “According to your logic, whether it’s a couple or a husband and wife, their abilities must be similar—moreover, you are a woman.”
Without a doubt.
Xia Qingyan's resume was too dazzling!
As Chen Hao said, as a woman, she was already so strong, what kind of man could match her?
“I…”
“You wouldn’t like me, would you?!” Chen Hao looked very shocked.
“Who likes you? You’re sick!”
“That’s good.”
Chen Hao patted his chest, seeming relieved, “The question is, who is worthy of you? Are you planning to never get married?”
“So, what’s wrong with me liking Qingmo?”
Xia Qingyan was silent.
Yes!
How could feelings only look at the conditions of both parties?
According to her logic, many outstanding men and women should not get married in this lifetime.
“I just think… the gap between you two is too big.” She murmured.
“Actually, you are not a qualified sister.”
“What do you mean?!”
“You underestimate your own sister too much.”
Chen Hao looked at her and said in a deep voice, “In the future, Qingmo will definitely become the most shining star!”
