Qin Sanlong was taken aback by his big brotherâs assertion. âBig Brother, are you being serious?â
He had tried his best to size up the girl at first glance but felt no stirring of emotion. He looked at her a second time, then a third, and no matter how many times he looked, she seemed just the same as she did initially.
Qin Dalong confidently patted his own chest. âWhen have I ever lied to you? Trust me, I know what Iâm talking about.â
He continued, âI understand the feeling youâre describing. Itâs when you see someone and youâre instantly filled with excitement, your heart races, and you canât help but think about cherishing and protecting them for the rest of your life. You believe youâd only marry someone like that, right?â
Qin Sanlong nodded vigorously. âExactly! Thatâs what they call âliking someone.â If you marry someone you truly like, youâd be willing to go to great lengths to ensure a happy life together.â
Qin Dalong had a contented look on his face. âThatâs precisely how I feel about your Sister-in-law.â
Qin Sanlong was genuinely surprised by his brotherâs confession. He wondered if his observation skills were lacking or if his understanding of relationships was flawed. He had never noticed any affectionate exchanges between his brother and sister-in-law. Their interactions seemed as calm as a still pond, devoid of ripples. They appeared more like companions than deeply in love.
However, his Big Brotherâs sincerity was unquestionable. There was no reason for him to deceive Qin Sanlong. He chuckled to himself, thinking he had underestimated his brother, believing him to be clueless about matters of the heart. Little did he know that his brother possessed such profound insight.
Drawing from his own experiences, Qin Dalong imparted some wisdom to his younger brother:
âLet me share something with you,â Qin Dalong began earnestly. âWhen I first laid eyes on your Sister-in-law, I didnât experience the blushing or racing heartbeat you mentioned. I thought she was quite ordinary. But, as time went on, my feelings slowly evolved.â
âWhen we first got engaged, I wasnât particularly eager to see her, but after we married, I found myself wanting to be with her all the time. Iâd get excited when I saw her, and my heart would beat faster.â
Qin Silong glanced at his big brother. In the past, he might have dismissed his words as typical male behavior, driven by primal instincts, devoid of real affection. He might have believed that his brotherâs change in attitude toward his Sister-in-law was merely due to the nature of their relationship, and his desire to see her was, well, of a certain nature.
However, Qin Sanlong was different now. He listened to his brother with genuine interest.
âI know you probably think Iâm just like many men, only focused on one thing when it comes to women,â Qin Dalong continued. âBut youâre mistaken. The relationship between a man and a woman is about mutual care and respect. Itâs about both parties treating each other well, gradually realizing each otherâs worth. Feelings need time to develop.â
âThatâs why itâs not easy to determine if you truly have feelings for a woman in a short period. The kind of love you hope for at first sight is quite exceptional.
If you insist on making that a condition for choosing a wife, donât you think itâs somewhat stubborn and superficial?â
âBig Brother, Iâ¦â
Qin Sanlong, who was usually quick with his words, found himself at a loss for a response.
Stepping back, he admitted, âIâll take some time to think about what youâve said. â
Qin Dalong patted his younger brotherâs shoulder with a reassuring smile.
âThatâs the spirit..â
