Chapter 32 Worrying about gains and losses
Chapter 32 Worrying about gains and losses
After hearing those words, Dongfang Huaizhu's inner turmoil finally subsided. She took a deep breath, as if she had unloaded the heavy burden of many years, and she seemed more calm and free.
"You are right, sir. It may not be too late to make up for what we have missed."
She nodded gently, as if to encourage herself, or as if to let go of the past.
At this moment, Dongfang Huaizhu seemed to be reborn, and the haze that had been binding her had dissipated.
Dongfang Tianyu saw this and became active again. He asked, "Girl, what kind of feelings do you have towards your brother?"
Dongfang Huaizhu pondered for a moment and sighed softly: "This... Actually, I can't explain it clearly myself. When I was a child, my father was busy with affairs and spent very little time with me. Besides my mother, my eldest brother was always by my side. To me, he is like a brother and a father."
She paused and continued, "Even though we talked less and less later, my feelings for you have never changed."
Dongfang Tianyu listened to her answer with mixed feelings in his heart. He repeated in a low voice: "He is both a brother and a father?"
However, he was still unwilling to give up and tried to find out more: "I heard that your brother has a good impression of you, I wonder what you think about this?"
Dongfang Huaizhu frowned slightly when he heard this, but his tone was firm: "Huaizhu only has brotherly love for big brother, nothing else."
She paused and looked at Dongfang Tianyu sincerely: "If big brother really has other ideas, I hope you can tell him tactfully and persuade him to give up. Huaizhu doesn't want to embarrass big brother or make things difficult for him."
Dongfang Huaizhu's words were like cold water poured over his head, completely chilling Dongfang Tianyu's heart.
He originally thought that she also had feelings for him, but was unable to express it due to her status.
He originally thought that he could use the identity of "mask" to gradually guide her to let go of her worries and accept her feelings.
However, he realized at this moment that it was all his wishful thinking. Dongfang Huaizhu had no romantic feelings for him.
Even Dongfang Tianyu could hardly bear such a blow. His body shook slightly, as if he might fall down at any time.
"Sir, you seem a little uneasy?"
Dongfang Huaizhu asked softly, her eyes full of confusion. The answer she gave was obviously honest enough, so why did the other party still look conflicted?
"The young lady once advised me to accept Junior Sister's feelings. So, if the young lady still has no one in her heart, why don't you try to accept Junior Brother Tianyu's sincerity?"
Dongfang Tianyu's thoughts drifted back to the moment when Dongfang Huaizhu gently persuaded him. He tried to find a glimmer of hope from those words.
"Cough cough..."
As if realizing that he was too excited just now, Dongfang Tianyu coughed lightly a few times, trying to calm the excitement in his heart.
"I just don't want to see Junior Brother Tianyu fall into the sea of suffering, young lady, please don't worry too much."
He tried to force a smile to hide his inner panic.
However, Dongfang Huaizhu said bluntly: "Sir, you misunderstood. In fact, Huaizhu already has someone in his heart."
Her voice was calm and firm, without a trace of hesitation.
"who is it?"
Dongfang Tianyu's voice suddenly became hoarse, and he clenched his teeth, as if only by hearing that name could he completely give up.
However, Dongfang Huaizhu did not answer him, but lowered his head and fixed his gaze on the hands that were still held together.
Seeing this, Dongfang Tianyu subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back, but Dongfang Huaizhu held it firmly.
"Young Master always advises Huai Zhu to face his own feelings, so why don't you face your own feelings bravely?"
"Could it be that you really don't have the slightest admiration for Huai Zhu?"
Dongfang Huaizhu raised his head, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.
Dongfang Tianyu's heart trembled suddenly. He originally thought that he could use the identity of "Mask" to guide Dongfang Huaizhu to accept his feelings, but he never thought that she would fall in love with him behind this identity. This sudden change made him feel happy, but also a little worried.
He was happy that he had indeed won Dongfang Huaizhu's heart, but he was worried whether Dongfang Huaizhu would still accept him after knowing his true identity.
"You are joking, young lady. You have never even seen my true appearance, so how can you say that you like me?"
With this concern, Dongfang Tianyu thought about trying it again.
"Does the young master think Huaizhu is someone who cares a lot about his appearance?"
"You are the first person who can truly see Huaizhu's heart, even more clearly than I can see it myself."
"Isn't this kind of inner understanding even more valuable?"
"Moreover, judging from your outline, even without removing the mask, I can tell that you are not an ugly person."
When Dongfang Huaizhu said this, she unconsciously stretched out her other hand and gently touched Dongfang Tianyu's chin. Her eyes were full of mischief and teasing.
"Girl, there's more to this mask than just a face."
Dongfang Tianyu tried hard to control his inner throbbing and turned his head slightly to avoid Dongfang Huaizhu's touch.
"The creed of the Mask Organization is that everything you do after putting on the mask has nothing to do with your true identity."
"What the girl knows about me now is just the tip of the iceberg."
“I wonder if the girl is willing to accept the more real me after taking off the mask?”
Dongfang Tianyu looked at Dongfang Huaizhu with expectant and determined eyes, waiting for her answer.
"This……"
Faced with Dongfang Tianyu's new proposition, Dongfang Huaizhu's first reaction was to show his determination to the other party.
But when she was about to say it, she swallowed it back.
Since Dongfang Tianyu asked himself this, he wanted me to think carefully before answering him, instead of making a decision on impulse.
Seeing Dongfang Huaizhu's thoughtful look, Dongfang Tianyu was not surprised, but continued softly: "I remember the girl said that you can't recite poems, sing, play chess, calligraphy, or paint, nor can you cook, wash clothes, or fold quilts."
"Well, I have to tell you now, young lady, that I am not as carefree as you think."
"Those seemingly carefree behaviors are actually just a facade I put on in front of others."
“The real me is the least open-minded one.”
"I would feel uneasy because of the love expressed by my junior sister."
"I will be at a loss because of the indifference of my loved one."
"I even dare not face my deepest feelings for you."
"Will the girl still be moved by me, who is so sensitive and fragile?"
At this moment, Dongfang Tianyu finally exposed his fragile heart completely.
The story between the protagonist and Huaizhu is about to reach its climax. The author humbly asks for collection and further reading.
