Like a child eating candy for the first time, even though Cheng Nai had already let go of Jiujiu, Jiujiu still pulled Cheng Nai's arm and kept kissing him.
If Cheng Nai hadn't responded to Jiujiu's kiss, Jiujiu might have hesitated. She might even have thought about how to pester Cheng Nai if he fell out with her so that their relationship wouldn't become stiff. But now, not only did Cheng Nai not reject Jiujiu's kiss, he even responded to her.
At this moment, Jiujiu was as surprised as a child who had found a large diamond in her Christmas stocking instead of the three years of college entrance exams and five years of mock exams.
Jiujiu hugged Cheng Nai's neck as if she was hugging a big piece of candy. She kept kissing Cheng Nai like a child who wanted to eat the candy quickly.
Cheng Nai raised his hand, wanting to pull Jiujiu away from his body. However, the moment he moved, Jiujiu reacted even more violently.
After trying a few times, Cheng Nai really couldn't pull the Jiujiu down, so he could only give up helplessly.
Cheng Nai and Jiujiu kissed quietly. After an unknown amount of time, Jiujiu finally let go of Cheng Nai's neck. However, the sadness in her eyes was no longer there. Instead, they were as shockingly bright as the morning star.
Jiujiu raised her head and looked at Cheng Nai's red and swollen lips from kissing. She couldn't help but smile. She took Cheng Nai's hand and held it tightly for a moment, interlocking their fingers for a moment. From time to time, she would bring his hand to her mouth and kiss it again and again. When her legs were a little numb from standing, Jiujiu looked up at Cheng Nai and asked in a small voice, "Brother, you like me too, right?"
Cheng Nai opened his mouth and wanted to deny it, but his actions just now had already exposed his inner thoughts.
Cheng Nai pursed his lips and looked at Jiujiu's face, which was slightly flushed from the kiss. He nodded and hummed in agreement.
When Jiujiu asked this question, she didn't really care about Cheng Nai's answer. After all, no matter what Cheng Nai's answer was, his actions already told Jiujiu that he liked her.
However, it would be better if Cheng Nai could answer.
Although Cheng Nai only gave a soft hum, it caused ripples in Jiujiu's heart.
Jiujiu pursed her lips and smiled. She tiptoed and kissed Cheng Nai's cheek. She smiled and said, "Brother, I'm very happy."
Cheng Nai looked down at Jiujiu's flushed face and said softly, "Jiujiu, we can't be together."
"Why?"
Jiujiu didn't expect Cheng Nai to say something like this. After being stunned for a moment, she instinctively asked, "You and I aren't related by blood at all. Why can't we be together?"
"We aren't related by blood, but Mom and Dad are already married. In terms of status, you're my sister and I'm your brother. We can't be together."
Cheng Nai's words were like a basin of cold water that instantly extinguished Jiujiu's joy. Jiujiu looked at Cheng Nai in a daze and said through gritted teeth, "How do you know we can't if you haven't tried?"
"Jiujiu, you're still young. There are some things you don't understand." Cheng Nai raised his hand to touch the top of Jiujiu's head, but Jiujiu tilted her head and dodged.
Jiujiu looked up at Cheng Nai and said through gritted teeth, "Cheng Nai, you're only three years older than me. Don't act like you're very old. Also, how do you know we can't if you haven't tried?"
"We're brother and sister. If we're together, what will others think of us? Jiujiu, there are some things you won't understand if you haven't experienced it. Sometimes, the thing that hurts you the most is other people's gossip. I don't want you to be hurt."
Jiujiu had thought that Cheng Nai had sensed her feelings and didn't like her. When she found out that Cheng Nai liked her as much as she liked him, Jiujiu was really happy. But now …
It really was as the saying goes: one shouldn't be happy too early.
Sure enough, she had been happy too early.
Because she was angry, Jiujiu's expression calmed down. She didn't continue to tangle with Cheng Nai's dodging arm. She just stood in front of Cheng Nai and looked at him quietly. She said softly, "So, you don't want to be with me. You don't even want to try because you're afraid of other people's gossip."
Jiujiu pursed her lips and chuckled. She looked at Cheng Nai's face that she liked so much, but her heart was cold.
If Cheng Nai had found another reason, even if he had used their little brother, Jiujiu might have seriously considered it. But Jiujiu couldn't accept the gossip that Cheng Nai said.
Jiujiu bit her lip, closed her eyes, and said softly, "What if I say I don't care?"
After Jiujiu finished speaking, there was a long silence. Jiujiu opened her eyes again. Cheng Nai's face was full of apology.
Jiujiu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I know. You don't have to say anymore."
Jiujiu pursed her lips and smiled softly. She turned and left.
She always thought that the biggest obstacle between the two of them was that Cheng Nai didn't like her. But she didn't expect that the biggest obstacle between the two of them wasn't that Cheng Nai didn't like her, but that Cheng Nai cared about other people's gossip.
Jiujiu thought that as long as she and Cheng Nai liked each other, she wouldn't mind no matter what other people said. But now, she realized that she didn't mind, but Cheng Nai minded it a lot.
In the past, Jiujiu didn't know why Cheng Nai suddenly ignored her and distanced himself from her, but now Jiujiu understood.
Cheng Nai ignored her and distanced himself from her not because Cheng Nai found out that she liked him, but because he found out that he liked her and was afraid of other people's gossip.
Jiujiu really liked Cheng Nai, but she was also very sad.
She didn't expect that she didn't lose to Cheng Nai, who liked someone else, but she lost to those nonexistent gossip.
If Cheng Nai cared so much about other people's gossip, then even if she really got together with Cheng Nai, he would still mind.
Rather than waiting for Cheng Nai to mind so much and break up with her, it was better not to have started.
Anyway, the ending was the same.
Jiujiu came sadly and smiled happily for a while. Now, she left with a dead heart.
It was just a short while, but it felt like a lifetime.
Cheng Nai stood there. He wanted to call out to Jiujiu, but he didn't know what identity he should use to call out to Jiujiu. What to say when he called out to Jiujiu?
Should he say that he didn't mind the gossip?
No, he minded it very much.
Cheng Nai looked at Jiujiu's lonely back view. He opened and closed his mouth several times, but in the end, he couldn't say a word.
