Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated Eventually, Old Master Song didn't get an answer from his granddaughter. Song Ruyu asked herself to think about it. It was not an ordinary choice. It was related to her marriage and happiness, as well as the fate of the two families, especially the Qin family, which needed external factors the most.
Song Ruyu already knew that Old Lady Zhu had come back. Old Lady Zhu came back at this time because of the Qin Family. Song Ruyu didn't think too much about complicated factors. Moreover, after Old Lady Zhu came back, she went to the hospital to see her grandfather and talked a lot with him. Presumably, they had talked about this matter at that time.
If she really agreed to marry Qin Sheng, the Qin family and the Song family would be united by marriage. The outside world would naturally think that the Song family was on the Qin family's side. With Old Lady Zhu's return, many people would not dare to provoke the Qin family anymore.
However, what did it have to do with her?
Song Ruyu didn't say how long she would think about it. Old Master Song didn't say anything. He only said that she should think about it carefully and tell him when she made up her mind.
After Song Ruyu went back, she actually did not take this matter too seriously. Putting aside the stories of their childhood sweethearts, she did not have much contact with Qin Sheng now. They had only met a few times this year. She was more curious about Qin Sheng. She had also thought about the engagement between the two families, but it was not enough for her to make a decision directly.
However, she didn't expect that Qin Sheng would take the initiative to ask her out the next day. Song Ruyu didn't know how to turn him down. She knew that Qin Sheng should already know about it, so she agreed to meet him because she wanted to hear his thoughts.
The Summer Palace was very large. It was next to the Yuanmingyuan Palace and covered an area of about 290 hectares. It was built by Emperor Qianlong to show his filial piety to his mother. It used to be called Qingyi Garden. It was rebuilt during the reign of Emperor Guangxu. Unfortunately, it was looted twice by the allied forces of Britain, France and the Eight-Nation Alliance. However, compared to the neighboring Yuanmingyuan Palace, the Summer Palace was the most well-preserved imperial palace.
Song Ruyu led Qin Sheng in through the north gate. Qin Sheng had never been here before, so he walked slowly. He glanced at the imperial garden that he had only heard of before.
Song Ruyu had been to Sijiu City many times and she had done a lot of research on many well-known buildings and historical attractions in Sijiu City. Therefore, she acted as a tour guide for Qin Sheng. Chang Baji and the others followed her at a moderate pace. They could not help but admire Song Ruyu's profound knowledge.
After walking through Suzhou Street and the Cifu Memorial Arch, Song Ruyu wanted to continue walking with Qin Sheng. However, Qin Sheng turned to the left, where there were fewer people and a large pine forest. It was more suitable for the two of them to chat while walking. After all, Qin Sheng did not come to visit Summer Palace today. As long as he stayed in Beijing, he would have plenty of time to visit these scenic spots.
Song Ruyu didn't refuse and followed him. They walked side by side, looking like a perfect couple. Those who didn't know them would think that they were a couple traveling to Beijing. Unfortunately, they didn't do anything intimate.
After walking for a short distance, Qin Sheng finally chose to take the initiative to ask, "Ruyu, how long have we known each other?"
Song Ruyu said, "If you count the time when I was a child, it should be 28 years. If you don't count the more than 20 years you were missing, it should be six years."
This answer was reasonable. Qin Sheng continued to ask, "What do you think of me?"
"When I was a child, I thought you were weird. Every time you made me cry, I would coax you.
When I saw you last year, I thought you were a different person. You became more mature and steady, but I felt that you lacked the vigor of a young man. "This was Qin Sheng's impression of her.
Qin Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He really didn't know what he would be like now if he hadn't left Beijing. Would he have been beaten to death?
"Do you still remember what happened when you were a child? How come I don't remember? "Qin Sheng said with a smile.
Song Ruyu said softly, "Some of it, but most of it was told to me by my parents when I grew up. Sometimes when Uncle Qin came to our house, he would also tell me about the past."
Qin Sheng said with a smile, "Oh, no wonder. I'll ask my sister later and listen to those stories when I was a child."
The two of them continued to walk forward. The trees on both sides of the road seemed to be old. It seemed that different grades of trees were marked with different colors. Some were black, some were green, and some were red. Qin Sheng was interested in looking for the oldest one.
"Why do you have time to visit me today? You must be very busy these days. "Song Ruyu asked casually.
Qin Sheng shrugged and said, "I've accepted it. There are some things that I can't do, so I won't worry about it. What's more, it has happened and can't be changed. Why should I put so much pressure on myself? It's better to live every day."
"Although you said so, I don't believe you." Song Ruyu pursed her lips and smiled.
Qin Sheng felt that no matter how much he tried, he couldn't get to the point. So he just said directly, "Ruyu, in fact, I'm here today to ask you about something."
"What is it?" Song Ruyu said casually.
Qin Sheng wanted to ask if she knew about the engagement between them. But he changed it later. "Why haven't you found a boyfriend?"
"What? Are you going to introduce a boyfriend to me? "Song Ruyu joked.
Qin Sheng shook his head and said, "I'm just asking casually."
"This is a personal question. Can I not answer it?" Song Ruyu said with a smile.
Qin Sheng said happily, "Sure. But I really want to know what kind of person you like. What kind of man is good enough for you? "
"As long as I like him, even if he is an ordinary man, I won't turn my back on him." Song Ruyu said half-jokingly. She didn't take it seriously and explained to Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng hesitated for a moment and asked deliberately, "What do you think of me?"
Song Ruyu didn't expect that Qin Sheng would ask this question. She didn't know how to answer him. She just smiled and continued to walk forward.
Since he had already opened his mouth, there was no turning back. Qin Sheng could only bite the bullet and say, "Ruyu, actually, I came to you today because I have something to ask you. Do you know about the engagement between us?"
Song Ruyu stopped smiling when she heard this. This should be the purpose of Qin Sheng's visit today. She replied seriously, "I know. I've known about it for a long time."
"That's why I asked you. What do you think of me? If I asked you to marry me because of this engagement, would you be willing?" Qin Sheng used to think that he was shameless. But today, he felt that he couldn't ask this question in front of Song Ruyu. He wanted to ask this question several times, but he gave up in the end. Now he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask.
Song Ruyu didn't rush to answer this question. She kept walking forward. It was not hot and humid today.
Song Ruyu didn't know what she was thinking about. She didn't expect that Qin Sheng would really ask her about this.
Song Ruyu sighed and said, "My grandfather asked this question last night."
Qin Sheng was not surprised. It seemed that his grandmother and Old Master Song had discussed this matter. His grandmother came to ask him, and Old Master Song went back to ask Song Ruyu. But he didn't know how Song Ruyu had answered.
"What did you say?" Qin Sheng asked with some anxiety.
Song Ruyu looked back at Qin Sheng and said, "I haven't answered yet."
Qin Sheng felt lucky and disappointed at the same time. He didn't know whether he wanted to know Song Ruyu's answer or not.
"Qin Sheng, let me ask you. If you were me, would you be willing?" Song Ruyu threw this question to Qin Sheng again. She hadn't thought it through, so she didn't want to answer directly. There were still many factors.
Qin Sheng laughed at himself and said, "To be honest, if I didn't have a girlfriend, I would probably chase after you as soon as I saw you. You're such an excellent goddess. Which man wouldn't want you? You are the other half that countless young talents in Sijiu City yearn for even in their dreams. "
"Since you have a girlfriend, why did you ask me the question just now? Is it meaningful?" Song Ruyu sneered. She had known that Qin Sheng had a girlfriend before Song Hesheng told her. But she and Qin Sheng had been friends before, so it had nothing to do with her. But now that the engagement was in front of her, it had something to do with her. She wanted to know how Qin Sheng would deal with it.
Qin Sheng took a few deep breaths and asked, "If I don't have a girlfriend, would you be willing?"
"Can you let her go? Do you dare to let her down? "Song Ruyu stared at Qin Sheng and said.
Qin Sheng was suffering in his heart, but he had to answer this question. He said, "Some choices have to pay the price. So if I don't have a girlfriend, would you be willing?"
"You just said if, so I don't need to answer. After you deal with these trivial things, you can ask me again." Song Ruyu replied firmly.
Well …
Qin Sheng was stunned. He didn't expect that Song Ruyu would say this. If he really went to Shanghai to break up with Lin Su, and Song Ruyu was unwilling when he came back, wouldn't he lose more than he gained? This was another choice for Qin Sheng.
But then Qin Sheng thought about it. Why should he ask Song Ruyu when he hadn't made a choice himself? Or did he want to make a foolproof plan? If Song Ruyu was willing, he could make a choice. If she was unwilling, he didn't have to make a choice.
It was a pity that it was not so easy. If everything went according to Qin Sheng's wishes, he wouldn't have these difficulties now.
Therefore, it was better to wait for him to make a choice first.
When Qin Sheng came to his senses, Song Ruyu had already disappeared. Qin Sheng asked Chang Baji and learned that Song Ruyu had left. Qin Sheng didn't call her. Although he didn't achieve his purpose of looking for Song Ruyu today, he knew what he should do.
If he was willing, he would go to Shanghai to break up with her. Even if Song Ruyu was unwilling, he had to find a way to make her accept him.
If he was unwilling, he didn't have to think about anything.
He was a man, so he couldn't put all the pressure on Song Ruyu. In fact, the final choice was him.
How should he choose?
