Stars In His Eyes-Chapter 1795: Willing to Treat You Sincerely 8
Chen Ning saw his cousin actually walk in, and started making all sorts of facial expressions, implying, how could he have the nerve to be a third wheel here?
However, Chen Ningβs cousin acted as if he didnβt see his cousinβs signals, sat down on the sofa on his own, without waiting for He Da to offer a word of welcome, as if he had just walked into his own home. π§πππππ«π·π€πΏππ‘.ππ€πΆ
He Da was slightly startled, but the surprised expression quickly faded without showing much. He patted Chen Ning on the side and said, "Go get your cousin a glass of water."
Chen Ning pouted but still walked over to the cabinet to get the kettle and a cup.
"Your name is He Da, right?" Chen Ningβs cousin spoke first after He Da sat down beside him, "I heard youβre quite a bit older than my cousin."
Over there, Chen Ningβs ears perked up immediately, and she voiced her dissatisfaction right away, "Itβs good that heβs older than me! You already know what my personality is like; only someone older knows how to care for others! You donβt know, but Sister Zhilan and He Teng have a big age gap too, and they couldnβt be happier now!"
Chen Ningβs cousin was left speechless by his cousinβs words; the way she was protective was just like a mother hen shielding her chicks. If he said anything slightly opposing the two being together, Chen Ning might just splash the water in her hand on his face, right?
"Truly, once a girl is grown, you canβt keep her around!" Chen Ningβs cousin said with a bit of exasperation and sympathy, but seeing the way He Da looked at Chen Ning, as a fellow man, he could also tell that He Da genuinely cared for her.
Seeing her have ten responses ready for every word he said, he knew he was unwanted there by Chen Ning, so he stood up and told her, "I have plans with friends. If I havenβt come back to pick you up by ten tonight, think for yourself and head home!"
"Got it! Thank you, cousin!" Chen Ning responded with a sweet smile, then bypassed her cousin to hand the water she had just poured to He Da, beaming as she watched her cousin leave.
As soon as he left, Chen Ning bounced over and threw herself onto He Da, who was sitting on the sofa, saying, "Ancients said, βA day apart feels like three autumns,β but how could they know what real longing feels like? Clearly, missing someone for just a second feels like three autumns!"
"You, you, talking like that to your cousin? Arenβt you afraid heβll get angry?" He Da looked at her with an exasperated fondness, letting Chen Ning snuggle against him.
In his heart, though, he agreed with what Chen Ning had said.
Just a few hours apart, yet he truly missed her so much.
Even though they were just miles apart, he couldnβt see her, and that kind of longing was impossible to put into words.
"He wonβt get angry; heβs even more of a softie than I am! He has a really good temper! When I was a kid, no matter how naughty I was or how much I upset him, he never got angry with me!" Chen Ning laughed smugly, "I remember when I was little, one time I added all sorts of weird stuff to his food, made him so sick he had to stay in the hospital for days. I was so scared afterward, didnβt dare to see him for days, afraid heβd be angry and scold or hit me. Later, when I finally mustered up the courage to confess and apologize, to my surprise, he wasnβt mad at all. He even smiled and jokingly said I should watch out or heβd get back at me."
"And then?" He Da listened quietly to Chen Ningβs childhood stories, seeing the smile in her eyes as she spoke about her younger days. He could tell she had a carefree, wonderfully happy childhood, which shaped her current personality.
He Da was deeply fond of this version of Chen Ning, and he cherished her dearly, vowing to ensure his Chen Ning would always live carefree and happy.
