Chapter 4490 The Other Side 459
“Youyou, I have a question that I can’t figure out.”
Hua Jin looked blankly at the horizon in the distance and asked nonchalantly, “What’s love like? What’s it like to like someone?”
Taken aback, the boy rested his chin on his hand as his lips twitched slightly. “You’re actually asking someone who’s barely a teenager, what love is?”
Hua Jin fell silent.
!!
“Why don’t I get my grandfather here? He should know what love is. I heard that he and Grandma were very in love. He should have the authority to answer your question.”
“Wait!” The actor got a fright and grabbed the boy. “Why would you get your grandfather to come over here?!”
If the old man came to know that his Gong Jie liked him, he might be livid.
“Because I can’t answer the question.”
“Don’t answer it then!”
“But I see that since you’ve had this question, you’ve been in a daze and distracted, as if you’ve lost your soul…” The boy sat down beside him. “Are you worried about this matter between you and Uncle?”
“I…” The actor was unimpressed. “What could possibly happen between him and me?”
“I don’t understand.” The boy continued to rest his chin on his hand and sighed helplessly. “Why do you have to invite others to comment on your relationship when it’s clearly your own business? Shouldn’t these matters be your own decisions to make?”
“…”
“Do you need others to give you the courage and reason to love someone when you already know that you love them? Do you stop loving a person just because the people around say that you should not love them? Don’t you have a will of your own?” The boy was obviously just a child, but his words stunned the actor for a long time. “If I like someone, I won’t care what others think of me. As long as I’m determined, who cares what others think?” The boy’s words revealed a boldness and strength that was beyond someone his age.
Hua Jin commented in a daze, “You are indeed Gong Jie’s nephew. You two have the same style.”
It was simply overbearing.
“What if that person doesn’t like you?”
The boy laughed at that. “How is that possible?!”
“…”
“I’m so outstanding. Why wouldn’t that person like me?”
“…”
The boy even shares the same type of thinking as Gong Jie.
The actor hesitated. “Then… what if I’m not that outstanding?”
“Then work hard to become better.” The boy spread his arms and lay on the beach with his eyes closed. “The world of adults is indeed complicated. Perhaps it’s because adults complicate this world. In fact, relationships are supposed to be simple, but some people insist that two people have to be of equal status to be a couple, and others demand so-called fairness.”
People scheme against each other. They have to be calculative about gains and losses, and have so many reasons for something, when it comes to relationships.
Wasn’t liking someone a very simple matter?
“Besides, I think you have feelings for Uncle too. It’s just that you haven’t realized it yourself.”
“How can you tell?”
“You turn very red whenever you see my uncle, and you become very restrained.”
“That’s because I’m afraid…”
“Is it really just fear?” Youyou said with despise in his tone, “Isn’t it sad that a person doesn’t even have the courage to face his feelings?” His words were like a bucket of ice water drenching him from above…
When the man snapped back into the present again, he realized the boy had left the beach.
