"In our small village, we have all sorts of people, let alone in this big city where the streets are brimming with them. Encounters with a few shameless ones, is that such a big deal, that it scared you into thinking ill of the local girls?!"
"They are too forward for my taste, and I don’t like or feel comfortable with it." Upon voicing his thoughts, Kang Yiyang let out a sigh of relief and continued, "If I weren’t good-looking, would they even spare me a glance? And my uncle, if he weren’t handsome, would he be hounded like that, to the point it almost cost him his life?"
Kang Li: "Humans are sensory creatures, after all. When we see something beautiful or someone attractive, it’s natural to take a closer look. You can’t think of a girl as frivolous just because she finds you handsome and wants to get to know you, can you?"
Kang Yiyang: "It’s superficial."
Kang Li: "Then I’m superficial too!" A twinkle appeared in her fox-like eyes as Kang Li’s lips curved into a smile. "If I hadn’t seen a photo of your uncle at home, do you think I would’ve agreed without hesitation to marry myself off?"
"..."
Kang Yiyang was at a loss for words.
Min Rui was all eyes, his gaze as fixed as if under the spell of mosquito coils, not understanding the conversation between his mother and older cousin. Yet, even so, he listened with utmost seriousness.
"Got nothing to say now, do you?"
Kang Li’s fox-like eyes curved, and a faint smile spread across her lips: "Be it Comrade Wang or Lin Dan, I think both of them are quite nice, but, compared to the other, Lin Dan is simpler."
"Auntie... it couldn’t be Aunt Wu Yue asking you to work on me, could it?"
Kang Yiyang looked at Kang Li, his eyes reflecting deep thought: "I’m not concerned with how Comrade Lin Dan is. I just want to follow my heart in what I do. Right now, I’m definitely not thinking about dating anyone. If what auntie said is related to Aunt Wu Yue, then please do me a favor and let her know that I won’t be changing my mind easily."
