Lin Chu raised his eyebrows. She and Dan Qing had indeed known each other since childhood. But what comes from childhood sweethearts is not necessarily love.
The adoptive father cannot mess with the mandarin ducks.
"Brother, listen to me. We..."
"I knew you wouldn't agree, so I refused."
Dan Qing lowered his eyelashes and grabbed Lin Chu's words.
Lin Chu breathed a sigh of relief, not seeing the flash of disappointment and sadness in Dan Qing's eyes.
"I don't want to force you, let alone embarrass you."
Dan Qing said sincerely: "But I really like you, I have liked you since I was a child. I don't intend to give up just like that."
Lin Chu frowned and spoke subconsciously, but Dan Qing waved his hand towards him.
"Listen to me first, otherwise I'm afraid I won't have the courage to speak again."
Danqing spoke a little faster than before: "Chuchu, I like you. It's not a love between brother and sister, it's a lifelong love."
"From the first time I saw you when I was a child, my heart can no longer tolerate other people of the opposite sex."
"But, liking you is my business and has nothing to do with you. If you also like me, I will be happy. But, if you like someone else, I will not force it. I just hope..."
Danqing's voice paused slightly, and there was anxiety in his eyes: "I just hope you can be fair and give me a chance to try. If you still can't accept me, I will never mention this matter again."
Lin Chu was shocked. She had regarded Dan Qing as her elder brother since she was a child. She was close to him and had good friends with him, but she never had anything to do with him.
Dan Qing was a man with strong self-esteem, and Lin Chu thought that he would never tell this matter in his life. However, unexpectedly, his adoptive father added fuel to the flames, and the matter developed into this situation.
He expressed his love to her and completely trampled his self-esteem under his feet. Is their future relationship likely to never be the same again?
"Chuchu." Danqing's voice was filled with nervousness: "Please give me this chance."
His gaze is as gentle as the warm sun, which can drown people. When an ordinary woman sees his appearance, her heart will immediately turn into tenderness around her fingers. She simply cannot refuse.
But Lin Chu was never an ordinary woman.
"Danqing." She raised her head slightly and looked directly into Danqing's eyes for a moment: "I'm sorry, I can't give you this opportunity."
Danqing's pupils narrowed: "Oh?"
"I already have someone I like. If I agree to your request, it will be unfair to him and you." Lin Chu's voice was gentle but firm, with undoubted power.
Danqing's breath froze for a moment, but in the blink of an eye a clear smile appeared on his lips again: "Is it Lin Zhi?"
"Yes." Lin Chu did not hesitate.
Her frankness surprised Danqing, and the smile on her lips cracked for a moment: "Obviously, I have known you before."
"The relationship between a man and a woman has little to do with the length of time they have known each other."
Lin Chu said: "I like him, he likes me, that's enough. My mind is too small to tolerate so many people. He alone is enough."
Danqing lowered his eyelashes: "I understand. I will go and explain to Master that I will not participate in this competition again."
"No need." Lin Chu shook his head: "Lao Chen won't care about this. He knows that no matter who competes with him, he will win in the end. Because, I will not let him down."
Dan Qing's expression was stunned for a moment, and he sighed and smiled for a long time: "Lin Zhi is so lucky to have such trust from you."
Lin Chu's eyes flashed slightly: "Because, he is worth it!"
