Chapter 1040 Who's really messing with whom? It's not certain yet.
He couldn't help but nudge the seemingly calm Song Yunchen with his elbow, and said indignantly, "I'm not trying to criticize you, Song Yunchen, but are you just going to stand by and watch that bastard Gu Yueze mess up your own sister? Aren't you going to do anything about it as her brother?"
Song Yunchen slowly swirled the wine in his glass, glanced at Qin Xuan, and said indifferently, "Who will mess with whom is still uncertain."
Why wasn't it Song Zhizhi who messed with Gu Yueze?
Qin Xuan looked over in confusion, only to hear Song Yunchen continue to reveal: "My parents said that as long as Gu Yueze is willing to rid the people of this scourge and marry that girl, they will set off firecrackers along the entire ten-mile-long street to celebrate, and they will set them off for three days in a row."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuan was first taken aback, then raised his eyebrows as if he had just realized something, and burst into laughter.
He finally understood: whoever marries that little ancestor of the Song family will be eliminating a major hidden danger for all eligible young men in the capital.
He raised his glass and solemnly clinked it against the air in the direction Gu Yueze had left. "This glass is to Gu Yueze. He has the foresight to recognize talent, sacrificed his own interests for the greater good, and did a truly meritorious deed!"
After teasing Gu Yueze, Qin Xuan turned his curious gaze to his friend beside him and changed the subject: "Alright, let's not talk about that troublemaker anymore. Let's talk about you. I've heard something about you lately..."
He leaned closer and lowered his voice, "The second son of the Su family is getting married, to your sweetheart?"
The Su family has already sent out the invitations; Su Junyan is getting married, and the bride is Mu Jin.
This Mu Jin, once upon a time, was also the white moonlight that Song Yunchen cherished in his heart, the one he could never have.
If Song Yunchen had heard this news, he might have felt bitter and sad.
But now, so much time has passed, and watching Mu Jin and Su Junyan's journey together, everything has long since settled down.
The resentment and obsession he once felt have long since faded; now, all that remains is his blessing.
After all, truly loving someone doesn't necessarily mean possessing them.
She ultimately chose Su Junyan, and as long as she's happy, that's all that matters.
So when Qin Xuan asked, he just smiled with relief and said calmly, "What else can I do? I withdrew a long time ago and am content to be a spectator."
Seeing his nonchalant demeanor, Qin Xuan felt a little uneasy. He patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Tsk, don't be sad. I'll find you someone better later."
Upon hearing this, Song Yunchen smiled and raised an eyebrow at him, "Just like you, looking for those young models?"
Qin Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then retorted, "We're brothers, would I ever cheat you? I'll definitely find you a clean and respectable girl!"
Song Yunchen shook his head and smiled, "Never mind, I'm not interested."
Qin Xuan frowned, somewhat puzzled and worried for him: "Come on, life is short, enjoy it while you can! You can't be a monk forever, can you? Buddy, be good to yourself!"
Song Yunchen really had no interest in finding women.
On the one hand, it was because someone had once lived in his heart; on the other hand, he knew better than anyone else where he would ultimately end up.
His final fate will most likely be a family marriage, and he has already agreed to the marriage with Song's parents, which will help the Song family advance further.
Actually, he had already figured it out after giving up on Mu Jin.
Since that person wasn't her, it didn't matter who the woman standing next to him was in the end.
Why not do something that can contribute to the family's interests?
With this thought, he felt calm and drank the last bit of wine in his glass.
The two were drinking alone, their conversation sluggish and the atmosphere somewhat somber.
Suddenly, Song Yunchen raised his eyelids, glanced casually, and fixed his gaze on a girl walking towards them.
He frowned slightly and casually asked, "Who is that girl? Is she looking for you?"
Qin Xuan was looking down at his phone when he heard this and followed his gaze.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, even revealing a hint of possessiveness.
As if asserting his ownership, he said to Song Yunchen, "That's right, she's my woman, don't even think about it."
Song Yunchen scoffed in annoyance, and the little bit of shared feeling of "being a fellow single dog" shattered instantly.
The reality is so cruel.
He is completely different from Qin Xuan.
Although Qin Xuan claims to be single, he is never short of women; they are always surrounded by a constant stream of them.
He narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the girl who was getting closer.
It seems Qin Xuan has changed his taste again this time?
They are no longer the type of young models with heavy makeup as before.
The girl in front of me was wearing a simple white sleeveless dress. She had a slender and graceful figure with just the right curves.
But her face was utterly pure and lovely, without any makeup, with large, clear eyes that seemed to speak, carrying a kind of innocent and naive charm, which was exactly the so-called pure and alluring style that was popular at the time.
A light blue silk scarf was tied around her fair neck, which made her skin appear even whiter and more translucent.
He looks...very young, like a college student who has just graduated.
Song Yunchen frowned. "Why does he look like a little white rabbit? He looks... no more than eighteen, right? Qin Xuan, you..."
Qin Xuan glanced at him smugly, not ashamed of his friend's doubts but rather proud of them. He lowered his voice, his tone carrying a secret boast: "You have good taste. She is indeed young, very tender, but she's an adult, just turned nineteen."
"Nineteen?" Song Yunchen was speechless. "Qin Xuan, you bastard... how could you do that?"
The age difference and the contrast in their temperaments gave him a sense of déjà vu, like watching a creepy old man seducing an innocent young girl.
Qin Xuan, however, did not see anything wrong with it. Instead, he leaned back on the sofa with a comfortable expression, watching the girl approach step by step, his eyes looking as if he were admiring his carefully selected prey.
Before the two had even finished speaking, the girl had already walked up to their booth.
A bright and perfectly timed smile graced her innocent face. Her gaze first fell on Qin Xuan, then she turned to Song Yunchen with a generous air and introduced herself in a clear voice: "Hello, my name is Tutu."
Song Yunchen paused slightly in his hand holding the wine glass: "...Call her Rabbit?"
Is she really just an innocent little rabbit?
No... Could it be that he said that on purpose because he heard her describe her as a little white rabbit?
He looked somewhat embarrassed, feeling that it was rather impolite of the person in question to have been overheard gossiping about him behind his back.
Seeing this, the girl burst out laughing, her eyes crinkling into crescents, making her appear even more lively and harmless. She waved her hand and explained in a cheerful tone, "Just kidding, Rabbit is my nickname, my name is Bai Tutu."
As she spoke, she politely extended her hand, wanting to shake hands with Song Yunchen.
However, before Song Yunchen could return the handshake, Qin Xuan grabbed the slender wrist and pulled her into his arms with a slight pull.
The girl's two fair little hands naturally climbed onto his shoulders, her posture intimate and dependent.
