God of Racing-Chapter 299 - 294: Xu Lei’s True Feelings

After Xu Jiao stumbled upon Ye Qiu and Xu Lei in that scene, she returned to the room where she would sleep tonight.

At the moment she closed the door, she leaned against it, staring blankly into space.

Then, like a living corpse, she dragged her heavy steps to the bed, burying her head deep into the cotton of the blanket.

After a long while, a choking sob was heard from Xu Jiao, clearly indicating she was crying.

Xu Jiao couldn't quite explain why she was crying.

She had long known about the relationship between Xu Lei and Ye Qiu, so it shouldn't have caused such an emotional reaction now.

Even she didn't understand why seeing Xu Lei and Ye Qiu together today felt so unbearable.

When she chose to accompany Ye Qiu to visit Xu Lei, she really just wanted to see Xu Lei, but upon entering the room and seeing the intimacy between Xu Lei and Ye Qiu, the sweetness they shared made her heart ache and well up with tears.

Her mood continued to plummet.

The reason she didn't respond to Ye Qiu before was that she felt Xu Lei was her sister, not by blood, but as a younger sister, how could she possibly get involved with her brother-in-law?

So she decided to distance herself from Ye Qiu from then on, which explained why she ignored Ye Qiu earlier.

But seeing Ye Qiu and Xu Lei so closely together afterward was more than she could bear, revealing her inner feelings.

At this moment, she felt a bit of regret, though, inexplicably, there was a sense of relief.

It seemed like letting Ye Qiu understand her feelings was something that made her really happy.

Bang, bang, bang.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door, startling Xu Jiao.

"Xu Jiao, open the door, it's me, Ye Qiu!"

Upon hearing that the person knocking was Ye Qiu, her face lit up with joy. She immediately got up and wanted to open the door, but as she reached the door, she hesitated and didn't open it for Ye Qiu.

At that moment, Xu Jiao felt extremely conflicted.

Although she had shown some feelings for Ye Qiu earlier, it was impulsive and not entirely clear.

Now that Ye Qiu was here, what should she say to him after opening the door? How should she express herself?

Should she confess everything in one go, or silently continue to admire Ye Qiu as usual, letting the person she loves go to someone else?

Xu Jiao's mind was in turmoil, unsure whether to open the door or not!

"Xu Jiao, are you okay? Are you in the room? Please say something?"

Hearing Ye Qiu's words made Xu Jiao feel nervous, to be honest.

Taking a deep breath, she shifted her gaze and said, "Ye Qiu, I, I'm sleeping. Let's talk tomorrow if there's anything."

After saying this, Xu Jiao froze, wondering why she said something like that.

"Oh, alright then, since you're sleeping, I won't disturb you."

Ye Qiu said, "Have a good rest, I'll come call you for breakfast in the morning, goodnight..."

With that, Ye Qiu left.

After being dazed for a while, Xu Jiao suddenly opened the door, but Ye Qiu was already gone.

Xu Jiao stood there in a trance, momentarily lost, her eyes full of regret and self-reproach.

"What was I doing just now? Why didn't I open the door for him?"

Xu Jiao asked herself: "Am I afraid of something, or am I avoiding something?"

Xu Jiao sighed.

Missing out is a lifetime; am I going to regret this forever?

Slowly, a hint of resolve appeared in Xu Jiao's heart.

"No, I won't let myself regret it. Even if there's no result, I have to strive for it. At least I will have tried!"

Xu Jiao gritted her teeth, a look of determination flashed in her eyes, followed by her pursuit of Ye Qiu.

...

After Ye Qiu returned to Xu Lei's room, he shook his head at her: "She didn't open the door for me, but she said she was okay, and her voice didn't sound like there was anything wrong."

Xu Lei furrowed her brows: "Jiaojiao didn't see you?!"

"Oh, don't overthink it. She said she was asleep, so maybe she really was!"

Ye Qiu comforted himself. Truthfully, he felt a bit disappointed for not meeting Xu Jiao earlier.

Xu Lei, however, shook her head: "No, first of all, Jiaojiao wouldn't go to sleep so early, and even if she did, she would open the door for you. Besides, no one falls asleep that quickly, and if she were asleep, how could she talk to you?"

Xu Lei said, "Ye Qiu, I think Jiaojiao must be very upset right now. You should go to her again!"

Xu Lei, although she hadn't interacted with Xu Jiao for long, had a deep emotional attachment to her.

Though born of different mothers, they shared the same father, so their blood also connected them.

Both Xu Lei and Xu Jiao highly valued family, so even after a few days of interaction, they felt like real sisters.

Thus, Xu Lei's concern for Xu Jiao was intense, even more than for herself.

And she knew about Xu Jiao's feelings for Ye Qiu—but what of it?

Xu Lei was aware that Ye Qiu had another girl he liked besides her.

Knowing Ye Qiu's identity, she naturally knew about his past, so she understood that the girl who grew up with him was Lin Xirou.

She knew that Lin Xirou was the one in Ye Qiu's heart, and besides her, she also knew about Luo Bing and Wang Xinrui.

She had met these people and understood that those two girls were also fond of Ye Qiu.

Though sometimes it was unpleasant to think about, upon reflection, Xu Lei found peace.

She knew about Ye Qiu's excellence and understood that there wouldn't be just one woman by the side of an outstanding man. Such men naturally attract women and make girls fall for them.

Xu Lei wasn't a traditional girl and knew she couldn't have Ye Qiu all to herself. Thus, she accepted the reality that Ye Qiu had other women in his life.

Her thought was that as long as she had a place in Ye Qiu's heart and he loved her always, that would be enough for her to feel content.

So upon learning about Xu Jiao's feelings for Ye Qiu, Xu Lei hesitated for a long time, finally making a decision.

"Ye Qiu!"

Xu Lei called out to Ye Qiu.

"What's up, Lei Jie?" Ye Qiu looked at Xu Lei, puzzled.

Xu Lei hesitated; it was difficult to say. Two sisters liking the same man was absurd, and asking Ye Qiu to accept Xu Jiao was even more so. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

But if Ye Qiu didn't accept Xu Jiao, would she allow Xu Jiao to suffer? Or should she step aside and let Xu Jiao be with Ye Qiu?

Neither option was acceptable to Xu Lei.

So, absurd as it was, Xu Lei made up her mind, and then, under Ye Qiu's perplexed gaze, she spoke softly: "Ye Qiu, I've decided. I want to tell you something."

"What is it, Xu Lei Jie? Please tell me."

Ye Qiu said.

Xu Lei said, "I want to say, if you also have feelings for Jiaojiao in your heart, then accept her. If you don't want her to be in pain for a lifetime, welcome her into your life just like you did with me."
