Chapter 1855: Chapter 1855: You’re Pretty Clear About Yourself

“You see,” Xue Shi began to analyze, “Ganggang has been in particularly high spirits lately…no, actually, since last year’s twelfth lunar month. We thought she had an unrequited love, that she would be heartbroken when he left, and we were all prepared with comforting words for her, ready to say them whenever. But as it turned out, he left, and she’s been incredibly happy every day since. Her complexion, it’s just so good. When we ask her about it, she just smiles broadly and won’t tell us anything.”

With this reminder, Xue Bai became somewhat worried: “Brother, do you think Ganggang is actually so upset that she’s been stimulated into behaving this way? I’ve heard that some people, even though they are really sad inside, still act happy and smile every day…”

“That doesn’t seem like it.” Xue Shi stroked his chin, pondering. “If she were pretending, there would be times when she’d look lonely. But sometimes she can be caught laughing foolishly by herself, with such a sweet smile; it’s so sweet it gives me goosebumps.” While he said this, he couldn’t help but poke himself.

It was as if he saw his sister, Xue Ganggang, laughing foolishly all over again.

“So what’s the matter then?” Xue Bai just couldn’t figure it out.

After a while, Xue Shi stopped stroking his chin and leaned on the counter, getting face-to-face with Xue Bai, who was sitting on the other side, almost touching heads. He lowered his voice and said, as if conveying some secret message, “Do you think it could be that, even though the guy left, they actually got together?”

“Could it be?” Xue Bai scratched his head. He really didn’t understand these things.

“It should be,” Xue Shi was not very sure either. “But sometimes, when you think of Wenwan laughing foolishly, she looks just the same as her.”

Xue Bai was silent: “…”

“What secret talk are you having?”

Suddenly, a pair of big hands pressed down on both of their heads, causing their heads to bump.

“Uncle!” Xue Shi immediately rubbed the slightly sore spot on his head and glared at the newcomer.

Xue Bai just covered his own head and grinned foolishly.

Xue Sifu also had a smile full of mirth: “Who told you to put your heads so close together? Tell me, what’s going on? You’re being so secretive, outsiders might think you’re up to something.”

While massaging his head, Xue Shi explained: “It’s about Ganggang. Uncle, I’m pretty sure she’s in love.”

“Oh?” Xue Sifu raised an eyebrow. “How can you tell?”

“Haven’t you noticed how Ganggang has been as happy as a fool since last year’s twelfth month? She looks so radiant that nobody would believe she isn’t in love,” Xue Shi said.

“That’s true.” Xue Sifu tapped the countertop with one hand, his tone casual, seemingly not very concerned.

Xue Shi: “Little Aunty and uncle are covering for her too. She was supposed to come learn about managing the shop with me and Xue Bai today, but she’s nowhere to be found. They said she’ll be back in two days and told us not to inform the family, and to let only uncle and Little Aunty know. Uncle, didn’t you know about this?”

Xue Sifu: “I know, but why are you so worried? If your little uncle and Little Aunty are covering for her, it means there’s nothing to worry about. Don’t be so nosy.”

“But I just can’t help but worry. I want to take care of everyone in the family,” Xue Shi looked up to the sky.

“Ha,” Xue Sifu chuckled, “you sure know yourself well. Alright,” he patted his nephew’s shoulder, “even if she is in love, what of it? She’s a grown girl; it’s normal.”

“Don’t you want to meet the person she’s dating?” Xue Shi glanced at him sideways.
