Episode 7
Su Qingyu took Xue Zhaoyan to a river bank which was a bit far away from the festival....
The place was quiet....the loud noises from the festival faded....if someone listens way too closely then only they can hear some faint noises....but the sound of the flowing river overpowered it too....
They both took a seat beside the river and sat facing each other....that whole place was full of calmness....the gentle flow of the river...the moon in the sky and light breeze were making the atmosphere calmer....
Su Qingyu
I hope you'll enjoy this place Mr.Xue *said smiling*
There was an awkward silence...which Xue Zhaoyan broke by saying....
Xue Zhaoyan
You know you can call me by my name....you're not that much younger than me.... so when you call me Mr.Xue it feels a bit awkward...
Hearing this Su Qingyu laughed a little and said...
Su Qingyu
Okay but you'll also have to call me by my name...okay!? *said smiling brightly*
Saying this they both smiled at each other...after some time Su Qingyu said....
Su Qingyu
It must be really nice to have a brother....also your brother seems like a really good guy...I wish I had a brother like him *said smiling*
Xue Zhaoyan
Huh!! Don't go for his innocent looking face....you have no idea how troublesome he is!!!
Su Qingyu
Is that so? *asked curiously*
Xue Zhaoyan
Yes!! Every day, he'll bring out a new trouble! I'm tired of sorting out his troubles now....even though his troubles don't hurt others but still he is an adult now he should stop causing trouble and focus more on himself *said being concerned*
Su Qingyu
Don't worry he's just a kid... He'll become responsible when he grows up *said smiling*
Su Qingyu
Umm...can I ask you something if you don't mind?
Su Qingyu
Really? You're sure you won't mind it? *asked nervously*
Xue Zhaoyan
Yes...if you ask it I won't mind *said smiling*
Su Qingyu got a bit taken by his answer....the whole time they talked while maintaining an eye contact but after hearing this Qingyu broke the eye contact and looked towards the river and asked...
Su Qingyu
You said that this is your first time visiting the festival with your brother....before that your parents used to visit...so why didn't they come this time? *asked cautiously*
After hearing the question Xue Zhaoyan looked at him for a while then answered....
Xue Zhaoyan
They....are not here with us anymore *said smiling sadly*
Su Qingyu
Oh...I-I'm s-so sorry....I-I didn't know that....I'm really sorry to hear it *said being tense*
Xue Zhaoyan
It's okay...you don't have to be so tense about it *said smiling*
Su Qingyu
N-no actually it's my first time hosting this festival....before that my parents' used to host it...and after them, it was my uncle who used to host it...also after my parents death I stopped attending the festival, so I really didn't know any guests....please I'm really sorry to bring it up.... it's a sensitive matter....please forgive me.....
Su Qingyu said all of this in a single breath....after seeing him like this Xue Zhaoyan couldn't hold himself anymore and started laughing..... watching him laugh Su Qingyu got a bit confused... After noticing his confused face Xue Zhaoyan stopped laughing and said...
Xue Zhaoyan
I told you that you don't have to be worried....and please stop apologizing....you did nothing wrong so why are you apologizing....
Su Qingyu
N-no.... I just felt so bad after hearing about it so that's why *said while looking away*
Xue Zhaoyan
It's okay.... it's been almost two years since their accident....me and my brother we both tried our best to move on from it....and by now we have made quite a bit of progress so don't worry about it okay?
Xue Zhaoyan assured him with a smile....
Su Qingyu
* Nodded with a smile*
After a bit Su Qingyu asked....
Su Qingyu
I asked you about your parents.... won't you ask me about mine?
Xue Zhaoyan looked towards him and saw a concerned face which was blankly looking at the river....after observing him for some time Xue Zhaoyan opened his mouth and said....
Xue Zhaoyan
No....I think for today this much is enough.... let's not talk about sad things anymore...
Xue Zhaoyan
Besides it looks like you're not ready to talk about them....so there's no rush....you can take your time to open up....and whenever you feel like you're ready you can tell me all about it I'm all ears *said smiling*
Hearing his words Su Qingyu smiled at him but didn't say anything.... again there was silence but this time it wasn't awkward anymore....it was surprisingly comfortable.....
Like this they both spent their evening beside the river bank with each other's company.....
After last night's strolling... everyone got tired and went to bed right after dinner...so Xue Zeyuan didn't get the chance to ask his brother anything....today after breakfast Xue Zeyuan and Xue Zhaoyan went outside for a stroll when Xue Zeyuan asked his brother...
Xue Zeyuan(mc)
Brother did you have fun last night ?*asked excitedly*
Xue Zhaoyan smiled a little and said....
Xue Zhaoyan
Yes...what about you?
Hearing his question Xue Zeyuan's smile dropped, and he said....
Xue Zeyuan(mc)
It was not that good for me....
Xue Zhaoyan
Why ?*asked curiously*
Xue Zeyuan(mc)
Because that friend of yours kept disturbing me the whole evening... *said while rolling his eyes*
Xue Zhaoyan
Zeyuan... he's older than you...you cannot roll your eyes at him... that's a bad manner.... did I teach you this?
With that Xue Zhaoyan started scolding his brother...
For afar Han Lingxiao noticed them and walked towards them and said....
Han Lingxiao(ml)
What happened Xue Zhaoyan? Why are you scolding him?.... And you what did you do this time little monkey?....
Xue Zeyuan(mc)
Look brother he's calling me a little monkey....now should I not be angry at him? *said while sulking*
Xue Zhaoyan
Oh god this kid! What should I do with him!!
Hearing both brothers' bickering Han Lingxiao Chuckled and said....
Han Lingxiao(ml)
You two now stop....
While talking within themselves Xue Zeyuan heard someone calling his name from behind..... He turned around and saw Su Qingyu waving at him from a distance....after taking some fast steps Su Qingyu also joined them....
Su Qingyu
Xue Zeyuan....Xue Zhaoyan... Mr. Han....
Su Qingyu greeted them while bowing....in response they also bowed at him....after greeting each other Su Qingyu asked....
Su Qingyu
Are you all here for a morning stroll?
Xue Zhaoyan
Yes...and while we are at it... we also thought of exploring the main city *said smiling*
Hearing this Su Qingyu smiled and said....
Su Qingyu

Hearing him everyone chuckled and set off with him for the city tour......
