Love So Sweet

386 Sister Fang, I Like You

Where was she? What was she? What was going on?

Fang Su Jin stared at Zhang Yi Hai, wondering if she had misheard his word.

However, the serious look on Zhang Yi Hai’s face was not easy to ignore.

Her heartbeat continued to beat a little faster. Fang Su Jin was feeling a little light-headed. If this excitement continued, perhaps she would pass out.

Her mind was numb. Fang Su Jin no longer knew what was going on. She even felt as if she had entered another dimension.

This... could not be real, right?

For some people, it was good to know that the person they like liked them back. But Fang Su Jin was conflicted due to a lot of things.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yi Hai was observing Fang Su Jin’s reaction. Seeing that she did not reject him right away. However, he also hoped that Fang Su Jin would at least show him some responses.

He began to wonder whether he has been too hasty. However, Zhang Yi Hai thought that there was no other suitable time after this.

.....

In a few days, he will return to Capital City. If he did not take his chance today, it would be difficult to ask Fang Su Jin out again.

Moreover, now that his sister was married, it would be difficult for him to find another excuse to ask her out again.

Zhang Yi Hai was sure of his feelings. He liked Fang Su Jin. Therefore, he has to say what was on his mind today. It was better to know her answer earlier. If she did not have a feeling that way, then, he can learn to slowly retreat.

“Sister Fang?”

The young man’s voice snapped her out of her trance. Fang Su Jin quickly lowered her gaze. “Zhang Yi Hai, you... do you know what you are saying?”

“Of course, I do.” Zhang Yi Hai’s voice was steady. “I have thought about this for a long time. I know what I am feeling. Sister Fang, I like you.”

It was the second time that Zhang Yi Hai had said those words and it could still make ripples in her heart.

Fang Su Jin was so embarrassed that she did not want to show her face again.

“Why do you like me? I-I’m like your older sister.”

“Why can’t I like you? You are not blood-related to me,” Zhang Yi Hai spoke.

Fang Su Jin bit her lips exasperatedly. “I’m older than you by five years.”

His heart softened. At least by now, Zhang Yi Hai was sure that Fang Su Jin did not dislike him. Since that was the case, then he should still have his chance to win her, right?

“Sister Fang, do you think that I’m too young and immature?” Zhang Yi Hai asked.

Fang Su Jin did not answer. She had never thought that Zhang Yi Hai was immature.

Although Zhang Yi Hai was young, he was actually mature for his age. If the Zhang siblings stood together, others would think that Zhang Yi Hai was the eldest brother.

“Do you dislike my age?” Zhang Yi Hai asked again.

“It’s not like that. But, don’t you think that I am too old for you? Zhang Yi Hai, you should go and meet the girls your age. Perhaps, you would find them much better than me. I know that there are a lot of girls who liked you.”

Zhang Yi Hai stared at her with a serious look on his face. “I have never thought that you are too old for me. It doesn’t matter no matter how much our age difference is. The person I like is still you.”

Fang Su Jin looked at the young man helplessly.

Why didn’t she know that Zhang Yi Hai was good with his words?

With those words, he already made her heart sway. Fortunately, she was still sane. Fang Su Jin reminded herself not to fall into his words easily.

“You might not mind it, but your parents would,” Fang Su Jin pointed out.

A gentle smile curled on his lips. Now that Fang Su Jin had mentioned it several times, Zhang Yi Hai could already guess that the woman was actually concerned about their age differences.

“My parents would not mind it.”

“How do you know this?”

“My great-grandparents had ten years in age differences,” Zhang Yi Hai said. “My great-grandmother was already in her thirties when she married my great-grandfather.”

“That was your great-grandparents and it was a long time ago,” Fang Su Jin said. “How can it be the same?”

“Then, are you going to reject me just because I’m younger?”

Fang Su Jin opened her mouth to answer, but she could not find a word to speak. Even if she wanted to reject him, Fang Su Jin could not bear it. Especially when Zhang Yi Hai was staring at her with his puppy dog eyes.

This young man even knew how to put on an adorable look on his face to tempt her.

Fang Su Jin’s heart began to waver again.

“Then, if we are in the same age, would you give me a chance?” Zhang Yi Hai heaved a sigh. “Sister Fang, I hope that you are not going to reject me for my age. I wanted to be given an opportunity to court you fairly.”

Zhang Yi Hai was saying those words with a serious look on his face and it was starting to make Fang Su Jin embarrassed.

“This... this isn’t right.” Fang Su Jin’s mind whirled to find a reason to reject him. “I am your sister’s friend.”

“I don’t think that my sister would mind.”

Fang Su Jin also knew that Zhang Li Xue would not mind it. In fact, if her friend learned that she was with her brother, perhaps Zhang Li Xue would be happy as well.

Zhang Li Xue would definitely get excited and asked her to call her ‘sister-in-law’ again.

Just the thought would make her cheek turn red.

“Sister Fang, you don’t have to give me your answer right now,” Zhang Yi Hai spoke after a long silence between them. “I hope that you can go home and think about it first. Don’t just reject me without giving it a thought. Didn’t you say that you are going to have an exhibition in Capital City next month? Then, how about giving me your answer when you come to Capital City the next time?”
