Chapter 603 - 608: Why Not... Give It a Try?
Grandfather’s thinking probably can’t be changed just by her few words!
After Lou Xinyu had left for a while, Lou Zhaonian sighed, "Grandfather is still doing this for the sake of the Lou Family..."
After speaking, he turned his eyes to a bowl of porridge on the bedside table.
Today, he really hasn’t eaten much.
His stomach seemed... hungry...
Swallowing a bit, Lou Zhaonian looked towards the door.
After confirming that Lou Xinyu wouldn’t return, he got up and picked up the porridge.
He first scrutinized its appearance, thought it looked good, then moved closer to smell it.
"Huh... this girl never cooks, how did she make porridge that smells so good? Should I... give it a try?"
Muttering to himself, Lou Zhaonian picked up a spoon and fed himself a mouthful.
The rice was fragrant and soft, likely with some qi-boosting ingredients, and it tasted quite rich.
Before long, he had finished it all.
...
After seeing her grandfather, Lou Xinyu had just gone downstairs when she bumped into Lou Xining coming back.
Regarding this cousin who grew up with her, Lou Xinyu had always been respectful and had a good relationship with him.
"Brother, you’re back? Have you eaten?" Lou Xinyu approached him.
Lou Xining was wearing a thin maroon shirt, with the buttons at the collar undone, and his cheeks were flushed red, having just returned from an afternoon of drinking.
Hearing Lou Xinyu’s warm greeting, he was a bit surprised, "Xinyu? You..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was about to fall over.
Lou Xinyu immediately stepped forward to support him, catching a strong whiff of alcohol!
"You’ve been drinking again? Brother! What’s wrong with you? Ever since Ran Xiangsi died, you’ve been so down! For those who don’t know, they might think you liked Ran Xiangsi!"
Grumbling, Lou Xinyu helped Lou Xining to the sofa and even poured him water, urging him to drink more.
Lou Xining could hold his liquor well, so being home this early meant he wasn’t too far gone.
Seeing Lou Xinyu’s actions, he found them more and more unfamiliar!
"Are you really my sister? You seem like a completely different person..." Lou Xining mumbled, then downed the glass of water in one go.
Lou Xinyu, hearing this, realized she had indeed changed a lot.
If it were the old days, seeing Brother Xining drunk, she would have definitely run off while holding her nose in disgust, letting him sleep on the floor all night if needed.
But now...
It turns out people can change overnight.
Maybe it was because of Ran Xiangsi’s words?
Or perhaps she had finally let go of her obsession with Brother William?
Those unattainable obsessions had turned into a curse, sprouting in her heart.
Now that those obsessions were gone, she seemed much more at ease.
"Of course I’m your sister, it’s just that some things I’ve come to terms with, so I let them go."
Lou Xining drank the big glass of water, and sobered up a bit, hearing Lou Xinyu’s words made him curious.
"Really let go? Didn’t you say that was your only dream for over ten years?"
As a professional psychological counselor, Lou Xining hadn’t been able to help Lou Xinyu let go, how could it change overnight?
Lou Xinyu nodded, "Brother, don’t worry. From now on, I won’t cling to Brother William anymore. Xiangsi was right, there’s no place for me between them."
