Chapter 2018: Chapter 2016: This Is a Great Match

Speaking of these past few years, Dad hasn’t changed at all, and Grandma is almost the same as before. The biggest change is actually my own mom; she’s really let herself go a bit.

But she rather liked this version of her mom. However, when it came to this matter, even asking was pointless; it wasn’t that she lacked ambition, but she was at fault first, after all.

Telling is definitely necessary, the important thing is to choose the right way.

Besides, what Mom said made sense, because if Qi Fangxiu truly turned against her because of this, then it might be unnecessary for the two of them to continue together.

So, going back and forth, Qin Xiaoyu was sometimes happy, sometimes disappointed, sometimes worried. In short, she sighed and couldn’t sleep well, only falling into a deep sleep as dawn broke.

By the time Qin Xiaoyu woke up, it was already noon, and she was pleased that her sister-in-law had come over.

Right, discussing this matter with her sister-in-law, she would surely provide a very good solution.

And the most important point is that, despite appearances, her brother is the head of the family. In fact, he listened to his wife on many things, and then, her parents listened to her brother, so all things considered, her sister-in-law had a very influential voice in the family.

If anything happened, with her sister-in-law’s help, it would definitely be resolved safely.

So after finishing lunch, Qin Xiaoyu quietly pulled Qiaoqiao into her room and closed the door.

Qiaoqiao looked at Qin Xiaoyu’s mysterious demeanor and couldn’t help but laugh, so she calmly sat on a chair, waiting for Qin Xiaoyu to speak.

Qin Xiaoyu thought it over, then sat on the bed opposite Qiaoqiao, biting her lip, and finally mustered the courage to say, "Sister-in-law, I’ve encountered a troublesome thing. Can you help me?"

Qiaoqiao gazed at Qin Xiaoyu, and at first glance, she was really startled. She didn’t know how to read faces, but ever since she could sense people’s energies and distinguish different areas, she had indeed read a few books on this subject. So she immediately saw that Qin Xiaoyu’s Red Luan star was active.

This was a sign of a good match.

Then her eyebrows slightly furrowed. A good match, but it seemed like the early stages would have quite a few ups and downs.

Qiaoqiao discreetly curved her lips into a smile, pretending not to know, and asked, "Xiao Yu, what trouble have you encountered? Is it serious? If it is, you should talk to your brother."

Qin Xiaoyu quickly waved her hand, "Sister-in-law, no need, no need, I can just talk with you about it, no need to tell my brother."

"So what trouble are you talking about?" Qiaoqiao hushed her smile and asked seriously.

"Sister-in-law, remember that day when you came to school to see me? Do you remember a person named Qi Fangxiu?"

Qiaoqiao was a bit stunned, then immediately nodded, "I know, you said he was your classmate."

Qiaoqiao deliberately emphasized the word classmate.

She stared right at Qin Xiaoyu, waiting to hear what she wanted to say.

After all, this was the first time Qin Xiaoyu said something like this, and it couldn’t be compared to when she talked with her classmate Qian Baozhu, her voice almost like a mosquito, "...Sister-in-law, he is now my boyfriend..."

Qiaoqiao looked at Qin Xiaoyu in astonishment. This was too fast. Just a few days ago, she insisted they were just ordinary classmates and advised not to say otherwise.

But Qin Xiaoyu’s voice was too soft. If it weren’t for Qiaoqiao’s good hearing, she really wouldn’t have caught it. Qiaoqiao pretended not to have heard clearly, curiously asked, "What did you just say? I didn’t hear clearly, say it louder."

Qin Xiaoyu’s face reddened, but she bit her lip and raised her voice, "Sister-in-law, Qi Fangxiu is now my boyfriend."

After saying it, she felt quite nice.

Qiaoqiao looked at Qin Xiaoyu, and Qin Xiaoyu looked at Qiaoqiao. Then Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "The little girl finally grew up, and got a boyfriend."

Hearing these words filled Qin Xiaoyu with warmth as if it spread all over her body, suddenly making her feel like it was no big deal, just a normal thing.

So she straightened her back a bit, and a little embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, I’ve told you the truth. Nobody else knows yet, so please don’t tell them."

Since Qin Xiaoyu gave such instructions, of course, Qiaoqiao wouldn’t blabber on. Qin Xiaoyu added another request, "...Don’t tell my brother either."

Qiaoqiao considered it and then reassured Qin Xiaoyu, "Alright, I won’t tell him. But what do you need my help with?"

And then preventing her from telling others, Qiaoqiao really hadn’t figured out what she needed to do.

Qin Xiaoyu clasped her hands together, then raised her head, looking at Qiaoqiao, seemingly a bit regretful, "Sister-in-law, do you remember what I told you that day at the school canteen?"

"Mm, I remember, but you said a lot that day; which part are you referring to?"

"It’s about me hiding my identity. Qi Fangxiu doesn’t know my true identity either. I only told him my family are ordinary workers, with not-so-great financial conditions, not many kids but quite a few elders, which creates a heavy burden..."

As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyu’s voice grew smaller, and Qiaoqiao half-laughingly said, "Indeed. Your family only has you and your brother, so not many kids, and yes, quite a few elders: Great Grandfather, Grandma, Mom, and Dad—the burden is indeed heavy."

Qin Xiaoyu’s face turned red. At the time, she didn’t think there was anything wrong, she even found it amusing, but now being repeated by her sister-in-law like this did make her feel a bit embarrassed.

"Sister-in-law, that’s just what I said at the time. But as we got to know each other better, I couldn’t change it, and so it became like this. Sister-in-law, what do you think I should do to be honest with Qi Fangxiu?"

That’s the most critical part.

Qiaoqiao looked at Qin Xiaoyu with meaningful eyes, leaning back in her chair with a somewhat lazy posture, but her heart was quite amused.

She wondered if Qi Fangxiu at this very moment was having the same thoughts as Qin Xiaoyu, thinking about how to reveal his true identity to the other.

Sigh, if they had known this day would come, they might not have acted as they did. This was probably the dilemma troubling both of them.

However, regarding Qi Fangxiu’s situation, even though Qiaoqiao knew it inside and out, she couldn’t say anything.

Just like Xiaoyu’s true situation, she couldn’t voluntarily disclose it to Qi Fangxiu either.

The two of them would eventually have to face each other and honestly and earnestly reveal their true situations.

But it wasn’t that big of a deal since when they first shared their identities with each other, they hadn’t yet established a romantic relationship, so it wasn’t really deceit.
