Chapter 965 - Cute Young Love (2/2)

”I know what you're scheming,” said Xiu.

”I'm not.”

”Don't you think it's useless?” asked Xiu. ”As if I can't see what you have been up to.”

”Do you mind it?” he asked cautiously.

”Not really,” answered Xiu. She looked at him seriously and said, ”I just believe you're too young to understand what your feelings are. Or what they represent. But I can ȧssure you if these feelings of yours didn't change even after you graduated from college, I'd do anything in my power to help you.”

”Really?”

”Have I ever lied to you?” Xiu tapped his nose. ”But there is another condition.”

”And that is?”

”She has to have the same feelings for you,” answered Xiu. ”I won't be forcing anyone no matter how great you are. If she doesn't like you, then forget about it.”

”You don't have to worry about that,” Jackie spoke smugly.

”As always, you're quite confident,” said Xiu.

”I learned it from you,” told Jackie.

Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She indeed was the one teaching this. How could she do it? But she had to say she actually liked this little couple a lot. She had seen the way Jackie brought changes to Asteria. That girl had been closed off since losing her mother but Jackie's presence was quite a blessing for her.

In all honesty, they weren't as close as Asteria, Ava, and Rowan. Those three always hung out together. But even when Jackie wasn't always there, his importance could be seen. The way he interacted with Asteria was subtle. They hardly talked to each other. But still had such cute interactions.

Take today for instance, just when Xiu taught them how to make dumplings and went back. Asteria couldn't really close her dumpling. So, our Jackie the master went to her side, made a dumpling right before her eyes slowly, and walked off. And after that, Asteria was able to catch what to do to make her dumplings look presentable.

Wasn't that cute?

But her little brother's tricks were already in place.

She was definitely certain about this couple. As for what others had to say, did she care? If her little brother asked for it, what can't she do for him? But this time it was a matter of the heart. She had to take Asteria into account as well. She would never force her if she didn't have the same feelings for her brother.

But she was actually quite aware of Asteria's feelings as well. Haiz! This young love is so cute and makes her feel so envious as well. Why did she have to waste so many years and a lifetime before finding her love?
