My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 360 - 6 Sweet Nothings_2

"Back then, I sat at the train station, dazed and foolish, the wind was so cold, yet my heart was even colder. After idly sitting for a day, I belatedly realized I had a fever, reason returning, I finally thought of self-rescue."

"It took a lot of effort to borrow a phone from the lady at the kiosk to call Qi Sheng, by the time he arrived after several days by train, I was pitifully curled up inside the kiosk, just like a little beggar."

"In that moment, seeing the worry on his face, I thought, let’s just spend my life with this man."

By the end, Yang Xiaoli’s words contained both a sense of loss and acceptance, tears already streaming down her face.

If this had been two years ago, she would certainly not have spoken these words, even to her two close friends. But after two years of experience in society, she understood that a lot of the fearless pride was both self-harming and harmful to others.

Her initial silence, wasn’t it also a hurt to Xiao Guai and Huihui, these two friends who wholeheartedly wished the best for her?

She had learned not to be stubbornly strong anymore, but faced with her elderly parents and younger brother who relied on her so much, she couldn’t open up about her reliance to them. And to Qi Sheng, the man who had become her partner, she couldn’t divulge these private thoughts of a young woman either.

After pouring her heart out to her friends from afar, Yang Xiaoli felt much more at ease, yet her feelings were still complex.

"I don’t really understand?" Zhu Huixi said confusedly, "So, Xiao Li, do you like or not like Qi Sheng?"

"I should like him, I guess, but it’s certainly not the same as it was with Su Cheng," Yang Xiaoli reflected seriously.

"Do you mean your feelings for Su Cheng were false, or that your feelings for Qi Sheng are not as strong as those you had for Su Cheng?" Perhaps her pregnancy was affecting her thinking, Zhu Huixi’s mind was somewhat... muddled?

"I think Xiao Li is trying to say that her feelings for Qi Sheng are more of a deep understanding and not romantic love," Lin Xiaoguai summarized.

"It’s like Xiao Guai said."

Lin Xiaoguai paused for a moment and said, "So the reason you’ve been dragging your feet and not telling us the news of your marriage wasn’t what you mentioned on the phone before, nor what we guessed, but because you felt awkward about it?"

"I just don’t know how to manage this marriage," Yang Xiaoli’s tone suspiciously paused.

Lin Xiaoguai exhaled in relief, "So you still have expectations for this marriage, don’t you?"

"Yes, Qi Sheng and I both have our own stories. He took me back without asking anything, so I don’t ask about his things either. Maybe I’ll never forget Su Cheng in my life, but Qi Sheng is also very important to me in my heart. I want to live well with him," Yang Xiaoli declared with resolution in the darkness of the night.

"Then live well," Lin Xiaoguai said softly, "Love is not necessarily the most important thing in this world, there are also family love and friendship. As time goes on, once you and Qi Sheng are married and have your own children, Su Cheng will become less and less significant in your heart, eventually fading away."

"Isn’t there a saying that goes, ’A lover is more important than parents, parents are more important than a husband, and children are more important than parents.’"

"These are the three stages of a woman’s heart. When you’re a young girl who doesn’t yet know the taste of sorrows, you think a lover is the whole world. After you’re married, becoming a married woman, you’ll favor your natal family in everything. When you have your own children, parents take a back seat."

"You’re just experiencing the first stage, and Su Cheng was only a lover of that stage, so don’t dwell on him too much. And don’t worry about how to treat Qi Sheng, if you can’t see him as a lover, then see him as family."

It was rare for Lin Xiaoguai to give such a lengthy lecture, which showed her genuine concern. Yang Xiaoli laughed through her tears, "Okay, I’ll work hard to enter the second and third stages you mentioned."

After hearing Lin Xiaoguai’s words, she couldn’t help but start to look forward to her future marriage and children.

Lin Xiaoguai silently sighed, hoping her words would have an effect. The talk of the three stages of a woman’s heart came from a friend in a previous life, undoubtedly fitting for women of future generations, but Yang Xiaoli was different; women of this era were not as open about matters of the heart as those in future times.

She asked herself if she would have fared any better if she were in Yang Xiaoli’s shoes and feared she would not.

The conversation had a good effect; Lin Xiaoguai and Zhu Huixi put aside their worries, and Yang Xiaoli was no longer lost.

The next morning upon waking up, Lin Xiaoguai immediately thought of her wedding gift for Yang Xiaoli, pulling a bag from her luggage and passing it to her, "Try it on."

Guessing it must be a piece of clothing, Yang Xiaoli happily took out the garment from the bag and unfolded it, instantly stunned—

"How beautiful! Is this for me?"

In her hand was a bright red Qipao dress, exquisitely crafted, the most eye-catching part was the phoenix embroidered with golden threads on it, its head at the neckline and tail at the hemline, intricately beautiful and lifelike, twirling on the body.

"It’s for you to wear when you get married, it might be a bit big, I made it according to your old measurements," Lin Xiaoguai said with a smile in her eyes.

Without mentioning how stunning Yang Xiaoli looked after trying it on, after breakfast, Lin Xiaoguai found the village kiosk to call Shen Chi.

"Wanwan?" The call was barely connected when Shen Chi’s anxious voice came through.

"It’s me," she replied with a smile.

They each expressed concern for the other and discussed their respective situations. Before hanging up, thinking of Su Cheng’s effect on Yang Xiaoli and of Shen Chi’s support after her divorce in her previous life, Lin Xiaoguai felt moved and with a sweet voice said, "Shen Chi, I’m starting to miss you."

On the other end, Shen Chi froze, had Wanwan just spoken sweet nothings to him?

Seeing the silly smile on his boss’s face, Jiang Tao turned away, unable to bear the sight.
