Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1273: Chapter 1273: Two Tickets

"Sis, I, um..."

"I..."

Tang Jun hesitated for a while, not knowing how to begin.

"Alright, you don’t need to feel embarrassed." Tang Yue said, pressing her lips together: "It’s normal for a man to marry and a woman to wed. If you want to find a wife, that’s perfectly natural."

Tang Jun nodded vigorously, looking at Tang Yue with agreement.

Exactly, that’s what he meant. He wanted to pursue Xiao Yu, which seemed perfectly reasonable.

"But, you know..."

Tang Yue elongated her words, saying, "I told you to pursue Xiao Yu a long time ago, but you didn’t. Now that she’s given up, you’re trying to chase her, especially after the incident with your eyes. Things have become so tense. Do you know what it means to dig your own grave?"

Tang Yue’s sharp words left Tang Jun’s face pale. If he had known his eyes would recover so quickly, he would’ve never given up, even if it meant dying.

"Xiao Jun, no one will wait for you forever. Do you understand?" Tang Yue said word for word, staring at Tang Jun’s pale face. Although she felt sorry for him, these things had to be clarified for him first.

If he couldn’t figure it out himself, he might hurt someone as good as Xiao Yu in the future.

"Do you know what it meant every time you pushed Xiao Yu away?"

Tang Yue’s voice was usually gentle, but now it was extremely sharp.

Tang Jun moved his lips, saying, "Sis, I, I just didn’t want to burden her."

"But have you considered how she would feel if she were the one hurting and pushed you away repeatedly?" Tang Yue retorted.

Tang Jun’s face became even paler.

If it were Yuan Yu who couldn’t see, he wouldn’t back down even if she pushed him away or wanted to kill him.

"Even if you two marry, life is long. If something else happens later, would you really consider divorcing Xiao Yu?"

Of course, he wouldn’t divorce.

Tang Yue’s words, though direct, hit right to the heart.

Tang Jun felt utterly defeated inside. He couldn’t imagine if the situation were reversed, whether he’d be able to forgive Yuan Yu after being so deeply hurt.

"Sis, am I really your brother?"

"Why didn’t you wake me up then?"

Tang Jun said dejectedly. When he first invited Tang Yue over, he was full of confidence that he could win Yuan Yu back.

But now, Tang Jun wasn’t so sure.

At this moment, Tang Jun felt like a wilted eggplant, completely deflated.

Seeing him sufficiently discouraged, Tang Yue then said, "But, it’s good that these issues come up now, better than divorcing after marriage and trying to reconcile later."

Tang Jun’s face looked even worse than before. He twitched his lips, saying, "Sis, do you think marriage and divorce are child’s play?"

If he dared to divorce after marrying, wouldn’t mom and dad break his legs?

Besides, if he did marry, he intended to be as loving as mom and dad until old, just like his sister and brother-in-law. He definitely wanted to treat his wife well, like his brother-in-law treats his sister. How could he see marriage and divorce as child’s play like Tang Yue?

Get married, divorce, then reconcile?

Tang Yue didn’t want to argue with Tang Jun further; she didn’t want her own brother to marry and then divorce. She just laid things out so Tang Jun could see himself clearly. Clearing her throat, she softened her voice a bit: "Actually, if you want to restore Xiao Yu’s affection, it’s not impossible."

"Sis, there’s a way?" Having been completely defeated earlier, Tang Jun now heard Tang Yue’s words, and that faint spark within began to rekindle.

"With sincerity, where there’s a will, there’s a way. As long as Xiao Yu sees your genuine heart and repentance, there might still be a chance," Tang Yue encouraged. "Do you know how to court a girl?"

Tang Jun looked at Tang Yue in confusion. He knew business, and he knew herbs, but courting a girl?

"How do I do that?" Tang Jun looked ready to listen intently.

"Ahem."

Tang Yue noticed his serious demeanor and couldn’t help rolling her eyes internally. Though she’s a girl, she had never courted anyone; how would she know how to court a girl?

Still, one must help their own brother.

"First, you need to appear before her often," Tang Yue said, trying hard to think. "Create a presence; otherwise, what if she forgets you?"

"Second, you could give her gifts she likes."

"Thirdly, you could take her to movies, shopping. Two people in love together, no matter what you do, as long as you put your heart into it, she will feel it."

Initially, Tang Yue strained her brain thinking about it, but once she started talking, things flowed more smoothly. She continued, "You could also cook her a meal."

"Sis, my cooking isn’t good," Tang Jun felt it was good initially, but as he listened on, things seemed off. His culinary skills didn’t inherit any of his father’s talent Tang Zhengde.

Cooking for himself was fine, but for others, better not.

"Taste doesn’t matter; it’s the thought that counts," Tang Yue said, her gaze soft and encouraging. "I’m sure if you put your heart into it, you can do it."

Encouragingly, Tang Yue patted his shoulder and said, "By the way, here’s this."

She took out two tickets from her bag and handed them over, saying, "Sister Xie is about to hold a concert in Jing City, so how about taking Xiao Yu to watch?"

"If I remember right, Xiao Yu likes listening to Sister Xie’s songs."

Tang Yue waved the tickets in her hand.

"Sis, you really are my sister." Tang Jun, excitedly holding the two tickets, gave her a big hug and said, "Sis, I knew you’d help me."

"I’m your sister, if not helping you, then who?" Tang Yue looked at him helplessly and said, "If it were someone else, I wouldn’t bother. As for how you behaved before, if it were me, I wouldn’t bother with you either."

"Sis."

Tang Jun looked at her guiltily, thinking that his previous actions were quite shameless.

Yuan Yu had gone to such lengths back then, yet he kept pushing her away, no wonder she was so upset with him.

After gaining insight from his sister, Tang Jun began his pursuit strategy.

He chose the simplest approach: giving gifts.

Regarding gifts, Tang Jun was particularly meticulous, hoping to choose something Yuan Yu would like. However, after much selection, he realized he wasn’t sure what Yuan Yu liked. After much consideration, he ended up picking a new album by Xie Ni and even got Xie Ni to sign it.

Knowing Tang Jun was pursuing a girl, Xie Ni specifically gave a few photos and postcards with her signatures.
