Chapter 320: They are not siblings, so why worry?
Mo Beibei couldn't help but roll her eyes. She still had some snacks in her mouth, but she couldn't help but lecture Shang Qing. "Qingqing, you live in the modern era, right? How can you be more conservative than the ancients? You're only one year older. It's not like you're ten years older. Haha, of course, being ten years older doesn't matter. Haven't you heard a joke? Girls, don't worry. Maybe your husband is in elementary school right now."
"Hahaha! I think I've seen this before. So funny. This is definitely the best remedy for older single women."
Wang Yang saw Shang Qing's troubled expression and quickly gave an example. "Exactly. Think of it this way. For example, you're 29 now, and Ji Xun is 28. Or, you're 35, he's 34, and so on. Does that still seem strange to you?"
Shang Qing's eyes lit up, and she answered truthfully, "I don't think it's strange anymore."
"Yeah. That's the truth. You two aren't siblings. No matter how old you are, it's perfectly normal for you to be in a relationship, and even get married and have children in the future!"
"Aren't they biological siblings?" Shang Qing was confused, her expression a little dazed.
"Yes. As long as they are not biological siblings or brothers and sisters with blood relationship, they can become a couple with a few years difference in age. So, Qingqing, don't think too much. Ji Xun is definitely the most suitable person for you. The person you can entrust your life to. Trust me, your sister Yan. I will never be wrong in judging people." Cang Yan once again appeared in front of Shang Qing with a very old-fashioned and serious image, and did not forget to pat her shoulder very seriously.
Such a funny and humorous Cang Yan once again made everyone laugh so hard that their stomachs hurt.
Lan Yao had already taken a photo with her phone and posted it on her social media. Of course, she'd blocked some people. Cang Yan and Wang Yang also had their phones with them and immediately forwarded the post.
Unexpectedly, the first person to like the post was Che Chenchen. She immediately video-called Cang Yan.
Che Chenchen, lying in the hospital ward, was in good condition. Her cheerful voice echoed, "Woo woo woo! Qingqing! I want it too! I want to eat it too!"
Shang Qing looked at Che Chenchen's adorable fake crying face, her eyes curved with a smile, and she coaxed him patiently: "I saved some skincare products for you. As for snacks, Xiao Xun will replenish them later!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Qingqing and her brother-in-law are the best!" Che Chenchen cheered happily, making her parents, who were sitting next to her on the sofa, smile helplessly. It had been a long time since their daughter had been this lively and cheerful.
Che Chenchen had been in contact with Shang Qing and the others for the past two days after returning home. Lan Yao, Cang Yan, and Wang Yang had been secretly hiding their phones in their dormitory. So, she was the first to hear about Shang Qing and Ji Xun's romance.
Although Che Chenchen wasn't physically at the training base, she was aware of everything going on there. Because she still needed to be hospitalized for recuperation, she didn't want her parents to thank Shang Qing, her lifesaver, on their own. She felt that a family-wide response would be the only way to show their concern. So, she explained the situation to Shang Qing as soon as she contacted him.
Shang Qing's help was truly effortless. Saving Che Chenchen was the most correct thing she could have done. It was impossible not to be afraid, but in that situation, choosing to play it safe and not save him was impossible for her! But she had never considered asking for anything in return, so she had already refused. She hadn't imagined how much help he would later bring her.
Thinking of the miraculous effects of using the skincare product, Che Chenchen cried out sadly, "What a pity! I can only use that magical skincare product after the military training is over. You will become more beautiful before me. I'm so angry."
"Or, send it to you?" Shang Qing looked at Che Chenchen's cute little frowning face and weakly thought of an idea.
Che Chenchen lay on the quilt, her heart warm, and she smiled beautifully: "No, no, it's so remote there, it's hard to find a courier."
"It's okay, hurry up and send me your address. I'll let Xiao Xun take care of it, and he'll arrange for someone to mail it." Shang Qing casually stated the solution. Ji Xun was her strength, and she wouldn't consider any trouble in doing so.
Over the past year, Ji Xun has arranged everything for Shang Qing to the best of his ability.
"Wow! Qingqing, you and Xun Xueshen, oh no, brother-in-law, are so great." Che Chenchen hugged the phone and kissed it.
The other girls in the dormitory all smiled kindly.
Che Chenchen's parents sat on the sofa without saying a word, just watching their daughter chatting with Shang Qing like a little girl.
This little girl of theirs clearly had a close relationship with the other girls in her dormitory. Especially this girl named Shang Qing, who not only saved their only child but also treated their daughter so well. They felt that the reward they had initially intended to give was a bit too little. The couple looked at each other, nodded, and walked out hand in hand.
The lights-out bell rang. In an instant, the dormitory was completely dark, with only the clear moonlight and bright moonlight casting a shadow into the room.
After eating snacks, everyone rushed to the bathroom to brush their teeth and rinse their mouths, and everyone was in a mess again.
At this time, only Shang Qing adapted to the darkness, curled up her knees, and tilted her head to look at the bright moon outside.
Yes. She and Ji Xun are not siblings, nor do they have any blood relationship. Why can't they be a real couple?
No matter how much Shang Qing deceived herself, she gradually realized that her feelings towards Ji Xun were no longer the same.
At first, seeing him so pitiful and helpless, she was overwhelmed with sympathy and wanted to use her meager strength to help him and save him. Saving him from the bully was a subconscious action of hers as a human being.
I started selling baby clothes, perhaps because I wanted to become someone capable of earning money so that I could be a supporter for my grandmother and let her enjoy the rest of her life.
But when she saw Ji Xun lying on the hospital bed, weak and emaciated, on the verge of life and death, her feelings went beyond simple sympathy. She wanted to earn more money quickly to pay for his medical expenses, so that the poor boy would not be abandoned and die. Otherwise, God would be too unfair to him.
At the time, she was incredibly grateful to Xiaoying. If she hadn't been so generous in buying doll clothes and makeup, Shang Qing wouldn't have gotten so much money immediately, much less been able to continue providing Ji Xun with the life-saving money. So, she sent her a copy of every new product Shang Qing released, and even after the finished product was ready, she would send it to her as well. This was to repay Xiaoying's kindness. Although Xiaoying didn't know that her simple help had become a lifesaver, Shang Qing knew, and she would remember it.
Later, Xiao Xun moved into her house. She just didn't want him to fend for himself in that cold old house, and she didn't want to see such a poor child completely lose the desire to live.
Later, Shang Qing, not knowing when, began to consider Ji Xun and her grandmother equal, both becoming her most important people. They loved each other dearly. They were inseparable parts of each other.
When Grandma Kang said that Ji Xun would one day start his own family, she panicked. The thought of Ji Xun no longer being with them made her feel like she had fallen into an icy cave. Especially since this summer, she had completely lost interest in being without Ji Xun.
Is this love? Shang Qing didn't know. But she knew she could no longer accept a life without Ji Xun.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night for Shang Qing.
