Ou Cong went to find Jiang Shuqin, only to discover she had gone on a trip. Her mother refused to reveal her whereabouts, suggesting they should remain friends. Ou Cong returned home, where his family urged him to reflect on his relationship with Shuqin. While staying home, Ou Cong began to consider that he might have feelings for Jiang Shuqin.

Upon realizing this, Ou Cong made a decision in his heart.

Since he had a bit of romantic feeling for Jiang Shuqin, and Jiang Shuqin also liked him, he would confess to her once she returned.

This way, it would fulfill Jiang Shuqin’s wish, and also make him happy.

Because he really didn’t want to give up and lose her.

After making this decision, Ou Cong began to wait for Jiang Shuqin’s return.

Having figured this out, Ou Cong went to find his sister.

"Chuyi, I’ve thought it through. I think I like Shuqin," Ou Cong said seriously to Xia Chuyi, "So, I’ve decided that when Shuqin comes back, I’ll propose to her!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi raised her eyebrows and said, "Second Brother, are you sure you’ve thought this through?"

"Yes, I’m sure," Ou Cong said with determination.

"Although I’m still not quite certain how much I like her... To be precise, how much of it is romantic feelings."

"But one thing I’m sure of is if I were to marry someone and spend my life with a woman, I want that person to be Shuqin."

Xia Chuyi could tell that what Ou Cong said was heartfelt.

"Second Brother..." Xia Chuyi sighed and said, "Even so, Shuqin might not agree to it..."

Before Xia Chuyi could finish, Ou Cong interrupted, "It’s okay, if she doesn’t agree once, I’ll ask twice, if not twice, then three times."

"All in all, I don’t want to lose her as a friend, I don’t want to lose her."

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi sighed again, thinking: My second brother still hasn’t figured it all out!

But at least he’s more determined than before.

Thus, Xia Chuyi decided she could help him.

"Second Brother, don’t worry. If there’s any news from Shuqin, I’ll let you know." Xia Chuyi said to Ou Cong.

Getting Xia Chuyi’s promise, Ou Cong’s eyes lit up and he said, "Thank you, you’re a good sister!"

Saying this, he opened his arms, ready to hug Xia Chuyi.

"Alright, alright." Xia Chuyi quickly said, "This matter hasn’t even started yet, don’t thank me just yet."

"No problem, as long as I can find out where Shuqin is, I’m sure I can win her over!" Ou Cong said confidently, patting his chest.

To this, Xia Chuyi didn’t comment.

In this matter, her second brother still hadn’t completely thought it through, that’s one thing, and Jiang Shuqin’s stance was quite firm, that’s another.

So, Xia Chuyi believed that her second brother still had a long way to go.

However, having promised her second brother, Xia Chuyi made some calls to find out Jiang Shuqin’s whereabouts.

Eventually, Xia Chuyi learned from a college classmate that Jiang Shuqin had gone south—where Song Zhicheng was volunteering, and she’d be back after some time.

Xia Chuyi relayed this to her second brother.

Hearing this answer, Ou Cong was quite surprised. "You mean, the place where Zhicheng is volunteering?"

"Yes." Xia Chuyi nodded slightly and said, "Shuqin wanted to relax, so she chose to go south. Coincidentally, Zhicheng is volunteering there, so she took the opportunity to go there. After arriving, she found the place quite nice and decided to volunteer there for a while."

"This..." Getting this information, Ou Cong was taken aback, scratched his head, and asked, "She wants to stay there to volunteer?"
