Chapter 1046: Chapter 43

"Brother, brother." The voice brought Go Biqing back from his memories. Looking at the little girl in front of him, Go Biqing let out a gentle sigh in his heart. If he once had the intention and courage to pursue Zhou Jiaying, now he had no thoughts of doing so. He was almost like a beggar nowadays and had nothing to pursue anyone with.

Actually, Go Biqing really did take action back then. But each time he ran to the twelfth middle school and waited for Zhou Jiaying to finish school, when he saw her walking out of the school gate, he suddenly felt timid for some reason and didn’t dare to approach her. Each time, he just watched Zhou Jiaying get in the car and head home from a distance, not to mention the group of protectors around her every time. In the year that followed, Go Biqing would sneakily visit Zhou Jiaying whenever he had the time. Gradually, this seemed to become a habit for him, but the good times didn’t last long. A year later, Zhou Jiaying went abroad for studies. Without any way to contact her, Go Biqing could only bury this secret love deep in his heart. Perhaps it would stay there forever. However, it was precisely because of Zhou Jiaying’s appearance that Go Biqing never had the interest in fooling around with girls again. Perhaps, deep down, he still harbored a faint hope for a miracle.

"Let’s go, brother will take you to East Lake for a walk." Go Biqing said gently, holding his sister’s hand.

Gwen was led by Go Biqing to East Lake. Despite the hot weather, by the lake, one could still feel a bit of coolness.

Just after sitting down for not long, Go Biqing saw a familiar face—the current student council president, an exceptionally beautiful girl, just as stunning as Zhou Jiaying.

"Go Biqing, you just got your diploma yesterday and you’re already revisiting your alma mater today. Are you feeling a bit reluctant to leave?" The girl came over and asked.

"Not really, my sister is here, and I’m showing her around. Who knows, maybe she’ll be my junior here one day. Murong, what brings you to stroll around East Lake today? You’re quite busy as the student council president." Go Biqing said with a slight smile.

Upon hearing Go Biqing’s words, the girl pretended to complain with a hint of laughter: "Are you mocking me?"

Thinking the girl misunderstood, Go Biqing didn’t realize she wasn’t actually upset at all and promptly explained: "No, I mean really. You were always busy before too. You’re going to be in your senior year soon; you should step down from your presidency position so it doesn’t affect your internship and studies. The student council really is a bit too busy."

"Forget it, I was just joking. You really lack a sense of humor, and don’t call me ’Murong classmate,’ call me Murong Qing. Is this your sister? What’s her name?" The girl noticed Go Biqing seemed a bit nervous, for some reason feeling both disappointed and slightly pleased.

Gwen saw Murong Qing and her brother talking and knew they must know each other. She instinctively looked back at Go Biqing and, seeing he had no intention to stop her, politely replied, "My name is Gwen. Hello there Murong Qing sister."

Murong Qing, delighted to see the cute little girl, said happily, "Gwen is so well-mannered. How about I buy you a drink, since the weather is so hot?"

Gwen indeed seemed interested in the drink, but without her brother’s permission, she would never accept the offer of a stranger.

Seeing Gwen didn’t make a move, Murong Qing glanced at Go Biqing and said, "Look, you’ve made your sister act like I’m a bad person. Aren’t you going to say something?"

Being questioned by Murong Qing, Go Biqing forced a smile and said, "Alright, alright, Nana, do you want a drink? Brother will buy one for you."

A child like Gwen certainly wanted a drink, but knowing her brother was struggling financially, she said, "Nana isn’t thirsty, Nana won’t drink."

Go Biqing looked at Gwen, with her sweat drying on her forehead after racing alongside him to East Lake, and knew she was thirsty. But hearing her words, he understood she was trying to save money for him, making his heart warm up and pain slightly. He couldn’t believe he’d reach a point where even buying a drink wasn’t affordable. No matter how bad things got, he’d never let his dearest sister go wanting.

Thus, Go Biqing held Gwen’s hand and said, "Come on, brother will buy you a drink. You’re not thirsty now, but what if you get thirsty later? Murong... Murong Qing, would you like one? Let’s go together."

Fortunately, Go Biqing corrected himself in time. Murong Qing was finally somewhat satisfied now, nodded and said, "I am a bit thirsty; let’s go together."

At the shop, Go Biqing took two bottles of drinks. He initially didn’t plan to buy one for himself, but knowing Gwen probably wouldn’t want hers if he didn’t take one himself, so he had to grab a bottle of water for himself.

At that moment, Murong Qing suddenly handed him money and gave him a bottle, saying, "You’re lucky today, benefiting from your sister’s presence. Next time, you owe me a drink." Go Biqing looked at Murong Qing puzzled, unable to tell if she genuinely invited them because of his sister or out of sympathy for his situation. But since she’d already paid, he felt it would be pretentious to refuse, even if there were only three drinks involved.

"Alright then, next time I’ll treat you to a meal. Nana, thank Murong sister. Brother is benefiting from you today too." Go Biqing said with a smile.

Gwen politely said, "Thank you Murong sister. Murong sister you’re really beautiful."

Go Biqing and Murong Qing didn’t expect Gwen to add such a comment, but it worked well. Murong Qing had heard countless compliments about her appearance, yet hearing it from a child was truly delightful.

"Nana is so well-behaved; you’re the real beauty. You’ll be even prettier than sister in the future." Murong Qing praised Gwen generously.

Go Biqing amusedly said, "Of course, who do you think her brother is? She’ll be the most beautiful girl someday, right Nana?"

Gwen nodded her head and answered, "Of course, I’m going to be Miss World."

Upon hearing that, Murong Qing deliberately asked, "Does Nana know what Miss World means?"

Gwen was stumped by the question. How could a kindergarten kid know such things? She had only heard adults mention it occasionally, so she replied, "I don’t know, but I heard adults say Miss World is the prettiest girl."

Go Biqing laughed, lifting Gwen up and said, "Alright, Nana will be Miss World someday, and brother will benefit from it."

After carrying Gwen for a while, she asked Go Biqing to put her down, knowing it must tire him out. Go Biqing also knew it was too hot to be carrying her constantly.

The three walked for a while until Murong Qing received a phone call regarding student council matters and, after greeting Go Biqing, left.

After Murong Qing left, Gwen said to Go Biqing, "Brother, this sister is really pretty. Why not ask her to be my sister-in-law?"
