Chapter 234: Chapter 177 "Old Bull Eats Young Grass" _3Han Xiangning realized that this was a matchmaking banquet and immediately blushed with embarrassment. Despite finding Xu Sanye’s proposal ridiculous, she couldn’t help but look at her junior schoolmate, wondering what he would say. Seeing everyone looking at him, Han Yu felt so awkward that he wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground. Han Ning was anxious and reminded, "San’er, Director Xu is asking you!" With his face flushed red, Han Yu scratched his neck and said, "Like... I do like her, but I’m not worthy of Sister Ningning, Director Xu, let’s talk about something else, please." Just as Xu Sanye was about to speak, Han Xiangning chuckled and said, "You like me? Aren’t you supposed to like Lin Xiaohui?" "This issue needs to be clarified." Xu Sanye laughed heartily and pointed to the door: "Director Zhang will only arrive later, you two go outside and talk things over clearly." "Director Xu..." "Don’t worry, we’ll start the meal when you come back." "Director Xu, I don’t mean dinner, I mean this situation is inappropriate." "What’s inappropriate about it?" Xu Sanye turned around pointing at Han Ning and his wife, then at Han Shuqun and Xiang Fan, smiling, "Ningning, I’ve discussed it with your parents and even Salted Fish’s sister and brother-in-law, we all think it’s appropriate, now it’s up to the two of you." "But..." "No buts, give me an answer in twenty minutes." Han Xiangning, not expecting things to turn out this way, felt she must clarify things with her junior, and grabbed Han Yu: "Let’s go!" With a pained expression, Han Yu asked, "Go where?" "Outside, I have something to ask you." "Okay." Seeing Han Yu being dragged out furiously by Han Xiangning, everyone burst into laughter. Han Ning was worried and was about to follow them, but Xu Sanye stopped him. Sёarch* The nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Director Xu, San’er isn’t good with words, I’m not at ease." "Their relationship is fine, there’s nothing to worry about." "Right, nothing to worry about." Xiang Fan had never seen such a matchmaking session and almost laughed till tears came. Sister Zhu, who also hadn’t seen such a matchmaking, couldn’t help but laugh, "We just made things clear and let the two kids talk it out themselves, better than us meddling." While everyone wondered what the outcome of the talk would be, Han Xiangning was in an empty private room tugging Han Yu’s ear fiercely, asking through gritted teeth, "What’s going on, did you know about this beforehand?" "Ow!" "Answer my question first." "I didn’t know, I thought Director Xu was going to introduce you to someone else." Han Xiangning let go, staring at him intently and asked, "Do you really like me?" As everybody was waiting for a response, and he had impulsively confessed his feelings earlier, Han Yu hesitated and then murmured with his head down, "Like." "I see you as a brother, how can you like me!" "..." What kind of logic was that? For a moment, Han Yu was speechlessly lost for words. Han Xiangning peeked outside the door to make sure Xu Sanye and Sister Zhu weren’t following, then sneakily asked, "When did you start liking me?" Having already reached the stage of matchmaking, her sister and brother-in-law even splurged on an expensive large table at the Sailor Club, with everyone anxiously awaiting a reply. Han Yu, not wanting to let down the leadership and his family’s well-intentioned efforts, and importantly because he truly did like her, mustered up the courage after a moment of hesitation and said, "I’ve liked you since long ago." "How long ago?" "Since we were in school." "You had a crush on me while we were still in school!" "Not just me, many people had a crush back then." That must be the truth, after all, she was the school beauty back then. Being liked is a happy thing, Han Xiangning felt proud inside, but then furiously said, "What about Lin Xiaohui then? If you like me, why do you also like Lin Xiaohui? San’er, I never realized you were such a Chen Shimei!" "Sister Ningning, it’s not what you think." "Then what is it?" "I don’t think I’m worthy of you, I can only secretly like you..." "So you liked me first, then liked Lin Xiaohui realizing you weren’t worthy of me. It wasn’t that Lin Xiaohui dumped you, then you liked me?" So embarrassing, yet being dishonest wasn’t an option. Left with no choice, Han Yu awkwardly admitted, "Yeah." "You said you couldn’t sleep when sharing a room with me; is it because you liked me?" "Yeah." "You lent me the light motorcycle also because you liked me?" "Yeah." "Stop just saying ’yeah,’ can you actually talk properly!" Over the past week, with no need to work or self-study, he dedicated himself to entertaining her, his heart warmed whenever he saw her sweet smile. He would dream about her at night. More than once he thought, how great it would be if she wasn’t his senior, if she were his girlfriend. Looking at her delicate face, long eyelashes, and bright, clear eyes, Han Yu felt a surge of emotion and once again plucked up courage and said, "Sister Ningning, I do like you, and I know I’m not worthy of you." Han Xiangning recalled everything from the past, especially his meticulous care for her, and said with a pained expression, "I’m your sister, I’m two years older than you, how could you like me." "I’m sorry." Han Yu took a deep breath and said, "I know you see me as a brother, and that you don’t like me that way, I’ll go explain to Director Xu and the others. After all, liking someone doesn’t necessarily mean having to be boyfriend and girlfriend, just as long as you still consider me a brother." Han Xiangning glared at him, muttering, "If I didn’t care about you, could I still treat you as my real brother?" "What do we do now?" "My mind is a bit of a mess right now, I also don’t know." "But Director Xu and your parents are waiting for an answer." "I now know why my parents were smiling so happily, why they always asked about you when at home, and why they treat you so well."
