A Favor Done, A Husband Won-Chapter 636 - 630: Sweet Extra—Married Couple Variety Show 115

"But she is too young, seven or eight years younger than me, and..." Wei Sinan paused, then softly continued, "Even though she is now in the same circle as I am, she used to be a fan of mine; whether her feelings for me are idolization or genuine affection is still unclear. She’s so young that she might not even understand what true love really is. Moreover, her acting skills still need polishing, and she often calls me teacher on set. Over time, although I dislike her approach, I instinctively almost regard her as my student. Changing this feeling... is not easy."

"Student?" Jing Jihan laughed coldly, and said indifferently, "From what I know, she was never one to be disciplined as a child and never seriously called anyone her teacher, even when she was a notorious troublemaker in elementary school. Now that she willingly follows you around every day to hone her acting skills and calls you teacher, do you really think it’s because she’s confused about what true affection is, or is it that you haven’t figured it out?"

Wei Sinan was silent for a moment before he sighed with a laugh: "Yes, I have indeed been thinking about this recently. Xiaomi is actually quite a nice person, young, innocent, and pure with her own personality. While she can be a little spoiled, she’s not unreasonably arrogant, especially..."

Wei Sinan hesitated before speaking: "I used to think she just liked me briefly after returning from abroad, but I only recently learned that she has been in my fan group since my debut. That’s several years now. Considering this, she was still a high school student back then. Regardless of whether it was idolization or some other kind of affection, being able to sustain it for so long is actually quite rare."

"So, while you don’t want to hurt her, you also can’t accept her affection. You prefer to turn a blind eye and indulge her, interacting as if you’re teacher and student?" Jing Jihan’s elegant brows slightly furrowed, his eyes full of discontent and disdain for such avoidance behavior.

Wei Sinan didn’t speak at first, then closed his eyes: "I admit, I used to think that way."

"Used to? What do you mean?" Jing Jihan was asking, but it was clearly rhetorical.

Wei Sinan looked directly at him: "Recently, during filming breaks, I’ve taken the time to think carefully about the obstacles and issues in my heart. I do have feelings for Xiaomi. It’s just that my previous ingrained thoughts and perceptions blocked my normal ability to process things. I instinctively felt she was too wild, and just keeping her close and giving some positive influence seemed best. Watching her slowly grow into a true adult on set was good. Thus, I deliberately ignored her hints of affection towards me, causing her disappointment and sadness time and again, which may have truly hurt her recently, leading her to avoid me."

Jing Jihan laughed coldly, his tone lightly mocking, "At least you’re aware."

Wei Sinan sighed lightly: "Mr. Jing, are you here just to mock me?"

"I have no such leisure, just acting out of responsibility as an elder brother. She is indeed still young, and what needs watching cannot be truly ignored." Jing Jihan’s tone was neither warm nor cold, as he looked at him again: "So your true thoughts and decisions have changed?"

"They haven’t changed; perhaps I should have seen it clearly from the start." Wei Sinan rubbed his forehead: "It’s just that when she first returned to the country, seeing that girl happily pouncing on me in front of the entire crew, calling me her idol, I was quite shocked and didn’t adjust quickly."
