110 An Impulsive Kiss 10 (1/2)

If it was just that, Song Qingchun would not hate Tang Nuan that much, but Tang Nuan did not really need or even want those presents. She simply asked for them because she refused to be overshadowed by Song Qingchun. She would re-gift the dress and heels that Qin Yinan had bought for her without batting an eye.

This was not an isolated incident for Tang Nuan… There was one time when Qin Yinan had bought Song Qingchun a bottle of mineral water, and she had demanded one too. The bottle, like those dresses and heels, was abandoned when Qin Yinan was not looking. However, unlike those dresses and heels, the bottle of water was left inside a dustbin.

Therefore, according to Song Qingchun's experience, she believed the presents that Tang Nuan demanded that day would also one day end up being abandoned somehow.

Song Qingchun looked at Qin Yinan, who smiled lovingly and dotingly at Tang Nuan, and a ball of irritation rose up within her. Just as Tang Nuan was going to demand more stuff, Song Qingchun chimed in to say, ”Brother Yinan, I am going to say hi to Brother Zhang.”

Brother Zhang had been one of Song Cheng's best friends, other than Qin Yinan, when he was still alive.

”Okay.” Qin Yinan nodded with a smile. As Song Qingchun turned to walk away, Qin Yinan yelled at her, ”Song Song, remember to stay away from the alcohol.”

”I know, I know.” Song Qingchun turned back to show Qin Yinan a face of mock annoyance.

Qin Yinan smiled kindly and extended his hand to smooth down Song Qingchun's hair that had gotten out of place and patted her the top of her head. ”Okay, now go.”

His tone and action reminded Song Qingchun of how he used to console her when she started to cry after Song Cheng had bullied her.

Before this, she loved how he talked and treated her in this manner because it made her feel exceptionally cherished.

Only now did she finally realize that this series of actions and tone was one used to appease an unruly child. There was love, yes, but definitely not romantic love.

The reality that she had been unable to see for so many years finally struck her head-on; Qin Yinan had only been treating her like a little sister.
