Chapter 1119: Chapter 1119: Then Do You Like Him?

Xiaoqi asked in confusion, "Then what about Shi Qi? He likes She but it’s impossible for him to be with She—won’t He fall into inner demon deviation?"

Han Jing answered with absolute certainty, "Of course not."

"Why? Look at Ning Xu... didn’t He fall into inner demon deviation?" Xiaoqi asked.

Han Jing patted Her head. "How could this be the same?"

Xiaoqi’s face was full of puzzlement.

Han Jing had no choice but to patiently explain to Her, "In this world, ’liking’ comes in many kinds. Even if I explain it to She, it’s hard to make it completely clear. Shi Qi might feel a certain inexplicable stir toward Me—maybe because I unintentionally untied the knot in His heart, so He developed a kind of goodwill toward Me. But this goodwill isn’t that sort of desire to possess. Let Me give She an example! Since She can see through people’s thoughts, She must also be able to see that Brother Qiao likes Me. Doesn’t She want to know whether I like Brother Qiao?"

Xiaoqi asked gloomily, "Then does She like Him?"

Han Jing replied with a smile, "Of course I like Him!"

Xiaoqi...

"Don’t She like Su Yu? How can She like two people?" She was unconvinced.

"Pfft—" Han Jing burst out laughing, then wrapped an arm around Xiaoqi’s shoulders. "Brother Qiao and I are childhood sweethearts, it’s just that I don’t remember many things from when we were little. When I saw Him again, it was on the street. The sun was great that day, His smile was bright and warm. It’s just... I didn’t remember Him."

"And then?" Xiaoqi asked anxiously.

"Then Brother Qiao took great care of Me, only I merely treated Him as an elder brother, without any other thoughts. Until one time, someone tried to assassinate Me. Back then My cultivation was still very weak, and I ran into an expert far stronger than Me. Neither Brother Qiao nor I were a match for Him. At that critical moment, when I had already prepared Myself to die together with the assassin, Brother Qiao, disregarding His own life, threw Himself in the way of a strike and nearly died."

Xiaoqi said, deeply moved, "Brother Qiao is really a good person. He must be madly in love with She, to not even want His life anymore!"

Han Jing chuckled helplessly. "Silly maid!"

"I admit, what happened that day touched Me very deeply. I could no longer treat Him as just an ordinary elder brother; He holds a very important place in My heart. Only this feeling is different from romantic love. I hope Brother Qiao lives happily. If He meets a woman He likes in the future, I’ll sincerely feel happy for Him, even think of ways to help Him, and truly bless Him."

"But if it were Su Yu instead, if He dared sneak around behind My back to look for another woman, I’d definitely wring His neck." Han Jing looked at Xiaoqi. "So, does She understand now?"

Xiaoqi nodded in hazy comprehension. "I think I kind of get it... So, some love is about wanting to possess and never let go, while some love is about fulfilling and blessing—that’s it, right?"

"More or less. When She meets it, She’ll know!" Feelings are something—who can really explain them clearly? Only when one encounters them, when one’s heart is moved, does one know what one truly wants.

Xiaoqi hugged Han Jing’s arm, tilted Her head up, and said, "Sister Jing, can I discuss something with She? It’s about Brother Qiao—will She agree?"

Han Jing met Xiaoqi’s eyes, a bit muddled, a bit expectant, a bit nervous, and tinged with a few traces of joy. The corners of Her lips hooked up in a smile of unreadable meaning.
