Jiang Shuqin and Xia Chuyi meet He Jun at the hospital. He Jun and Jiang Shuqin agree to use first names, and Xia Chuyi notices He Jun's clear interest in Jiang Shuqin. As they leave, Xia Chuyi reflects on He Jun's gentle personality, contrasting it with her second brother's. She declines He Jun's offer for a ride home, reaffirming her loyalty to her brother. On the way home, Jiang Shuqin tells Xia Chuyi she no longer wishes to discuss her second brother.

Xia Chuyi sighed and thought: What goes around comes around.

What her second brother did, he brought upon himself.

Between Ou Cong and He Jun, Xia Chuyi chose Ou Cong, but between Ou Cong and Jiang Shuqin, she chose to be neutral.

One is her own brother, the other is her good friend.

For these two people, Xia Chuyi hoped they would be well.

But matters of the heart, the cold and warmth, only those involved have the right to decide.

Although Xia Chuyi hoped Jiang Shuqin would be good with her second brother, if Jiang Shuqin did not choose her second brother, then...

Xia Chuyi could only offer blessings.

Understanding these intricacies, Xia Chuyi said to Jiang Shuqin, "Alright, Shuqin, let’s not talk about my second brother... However, regarding what you mentioned before on the phone about matchmaking, I still hope you consider it carefully."

"A long journey tests a horse’s stamina, time reveals a person’s heart," said Xia Chuyi, "Without enough time, it’s difficult to truly understand someone."

"Marriage is not child’s play, so I hope you will be cautious."

"Besides, for men, it’s important to choose the right career, and for us women, choosing the right husband is especially crucial."

Xia Chuyi’s tone was quite serious.

Seeing Xia Chuyi so serious and earnest, Jiang Shuqin couldn’t help but smile and said, "Chuyi, you’re talking about me? I remember you and your family with Shiqian didn’t seem to spend much time together before deciding to be together..."

Xia Chuyi shook her head, thinking: How could they be the same?

Huo Shiqian’s feelings for her originated from responsibility, then gradually developed into affection.

And as for her feelings for Huo Shiqian? She had knowledge from her past life.

If it weren’t for her past life knowledge, Xia Chuyi would definitely not have accepted Huo Shiqian so quickly.

Moreover...

"Shuqin, even for me and Shiqian, it was a very long process of dating before we decided to get married." Xia Chuyi said earnestly, "So, I hope you must be cautious."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuqin smiled again and said, "Okay, I know you mean well for me, don’t worry, I will consider it carefully."

After finishing talking about the topic, Xia Chuyi initially thought to ask Jiang Shuqin how she felt about He Jun?

Thinking about it, Xia Chuyi ultimately did not speak up.

Speaking of He Jun, not to mention, even Xia Chuyi had a good impression of him.

So, Xia Chuyi did not say anything more.

After sending Jiang Shuqin to the Jiang Family, Xia Chuyi looked at Jiang Shuqin’s back, sighed again, and then instructed the driver to take her to the Ou Family.

At the Ou Family, Mrs. Ou was playing with little Huo Shiwu, when she saw Xia Chuyi come in, both Huo Shiwu and his grandmother looked up at Xia Chuyi at the same time.

Feeling sentimental about Jiang Shuqin and Ou Cong’s matter, Xia Chuyi’s expression seemed quite regretful, looking somewhat desolate.

Seeing this situation, little Huo Shiwu’s eyebrows instantly furrowed: Did someone bully his mom?

If even little Huo Shiwu could faintly see that Xia Chuyi was not quite herself, Mrs. Ou could see it even more clearly.

"Chuyi, what’s wrong, did something happen?" Mrs. Ou asked immediately upon seeing her daughter’s demeanor.

Xia Chuyi shook her head and said, "Nothing, it’s just that Shuqin has returned from the Southwest, I just went to see her."

"Shuqin returned from the Southwest?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ou was quite surprised as well.

After all, the Ou Family knows that Ou Cong just went to the Southwest to find Jiang Shuqin a few days ago!
