    The time was right, when Xue Xue went out, Xue Zhinian was about to drive the car out of the garage.

    Seeing the woman standing by the door, who was obviously waiting for him, he stepped on the brake and rolled down the window at the same time.

    “The wind is so strong, why are you standing here?” Xue Zhinian stared at Xue Xue.”If you don’t keep a close eye on my future brother-in-law, aren’t you afraid that he will be tricked by dad then?”

    His tone was sour, but he still pretended to be calm on his face.

    Xue Xue looked at Xue Zhinian quietly, and after a long while, he smiled softly.

    “You admitted it.”

    Xue Zhinian didn’t react.

    “What?”

    Xue Xue leaned forward and put his arms on the edge of the window.

    “You admit, Yi Lang is your brother-in-law-to-be.”

    “…” Realizing that he had unknowingly walked into Xue Xue’s routine, Xue Zhinian’s face darkened and he said viciously: “Get away! I’m leaving!”

    Xue Xue has figured out Xue Zhinian’s temper, and of course it is impossible to follow his wishes.

    “I know.”

    Xue Zhinian was stunned for a moment by the word that had no beginning or end.

    Xue Xue had no intention of showing off, and was still smiling.

    “I know you care about me. You are afraid that Yi Lang’s identity will not give me a stable relationship and life, so you have always shown your rejection of him.” After a pause, a faint tenderness appeared in Xue Xue’s eyes.”Although you always remember things from your childhood, and people always think that you still remember things from your childhood, I know that’s not the case.”

    “You have come out, just like I have come out.”

    “It’s just that so much time has passed that we have forgotten how to express our emotions to each other.”

    In fact, even brothers and sisters in ordinary families may not be able to play together in a harmonious and friendly manner. As we grow older and our horizons broaden, everyone will gradually have their own life and circle of friends, and they will keep in touch on a regular basis. It would be great if they could get together to have a meal and talk about life during festivals and festivals.

    There are only a few good and bad examples after all.

    Most people in this world feel that they don’t have enough time when they are running around for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. How can they have free time to worry about other people’s affairs?

    What’s more, there are still past events between Xue Zhiyou and Xue Zhinian.

    The current way of getting along is the best result that the two of them can achieve by getting along.

    After Xue Xue arrived, he took the initiative to ask Xue Zhinian for help several times, which may have slightly reversed the current situation. However, personality and habits cannot be changed at will. Sometimes it is a good choice to let nature take its course.

    But she still remembered Xue Zhiyou’s wish.

    “Chinian.”

    Xue Zhinian, who was so shocked by what Xue Xue said just now that he was a little out of his mind when he heard her calling his name, subconsciously responded.

    “Although I believe in Yi Lang and am confident that I can go on with Yi Lang, no one can predict the future with certainty.”

    “This request sounds shameless, but I hope you can be my backing.”

    “Like my parents, let Yi Lang know that I am not alone and that I have family members who love me behind me.”

    “In this way…” Xue Xue frowned and smiled as cunningly as a fox.”He doesn’t dare to bully me casually anymore.”

    “…”

    Xue Zhinian knew that Xue Xue said that on purpose.

    As a man, Xue Zhinian could see that Yi Lang was sincere to Xue Xue.

    Words may be false, but the care and concern hidden in every move cannot deceive others. If Xue Zhinian was still worried about Yi Lang’s identity before, today’s meal has undoubtedly dispelled most of his doubts.

    The most important thing is that Xue Xue is determined.

    Even if he wasn’t optimistic that they would reach the end, Xue Zhinian didn’t think that they could be separated now.

    Why not just wait and see.

    If Yi Lang really bullied Xue Xue, it would be justifiable for him to take action to deal with it.

    Even Xue Xue didn’t expect it, thinking that the silence at the dinner table was because Xue Zhinian was sulking. In fact, the younger brother had already thought about it, but he just couldn’t keep his face.

    Like now.

    After a moment of silence, a low “hum” was Xue Zhinian’s unclear response.

    Xue Xue understood.

    Some things are not beautiful if they are explained clearly.

    So, Xue Xue blinked, and when Xue Zhinian wasn’t paying attention, he reached out and patted his head.

    Being caught off guard and being treated like a child, Xue Zhinian exploded as soon as he reacted.

    “Xue Zhiyou──”

    “Thank you, Chinen.”

    The light from the incandescent bulb fell, making Xue Xue’s delicate eyebrows as clean as lines drawn with fine brushwork. A pair of water-filled apricot eyes were filled with moonlight, and the intoxicating tenderness turned into light ripples.

    So beautiful.

    Xue Zhinian was in a daze for a moment, and what he didn’t expect was Xue Xue’s next words: “And…I’m sorry.”

    I’m sorry that I left you alone at home, scared and uneasy.

    Although strictly speaking it was not Xue Zhiyou’s fault, Xue Xue knew that these three words were what Xue Zhiyou had always wanted to say to his brother but could never find a chance to say them out.

    And what Xue Zhinian was waiting for were these three words.

    In an instant, time seemed to be pulled back a long, long time ago.

    Xue Zhinian saw a person in the room, holding a rag doll in his hand. He didn’t know where his parents and sister had gone, and why he had left his little boy living with a strange aunt behind.

    He was crying secretly.

    He was afraid, but he didn’t dare to say it.

    He was afraid that if he told her, he would be like that aunt said, and his parents and sister would no longer want him.

    So the little boy wiped away his tears, got up, lay on the bed with the doll in his arms, and wrapped himself in a thick quilt.

    Don’t be afraid.

    My parents and sister came back soon.

    The little Xue Zhinian was like this. After thinking about it day by day, but being disappointed again and again, she looked forward to the day when Ye Wen and Xue Yonghua took Xue Zhiyou home.

    That day, he realized for the first time that he was the one left behind.

    The one who was left behind by his parents and sister.

    The emotions that had been suppressed for nearly a year finally broke out at that moment.

    Like broken glass, even if you pick up all the pieces and repair them again, the cracks will always remain.

    But……
