Xi Zhan took off his clothes and went to take a shower. I lay on the bed and stared at the tempting back and couldn't bear to leave.

After a while, he came to the bed wearing a nightgown and reached out to hold my wrist and stared at the wound on it, with deep eyes.

"Did you hurt in the afternoon?" he asked.

I said truthfully: "It hurts faintly. I forgot that I was injured before and even raised my hand to hit the edge of the bed. It was so painful that I almost cried."

I never hide my fragility in front of Xi Zhan.

I looked at him with grievance. He suddenly curled the corners of his lips and scratched my nose. His voice was so gentle that he said: "It's so stupid. I know I'm still careless even though I'm injured."

I looked at him even more aggrievedly. Xi Zhan sat by the side of the bed. I put my head on his thigh and asked him, "Are you tired?"

He lowered his eyes and said, "Not tired."

There was no sadness in Xi Zhan's eyes, like a quiet deep pool. He has always been like this, and he is calm when encountering anything.

I reached out to hold his sleeve and wanted to comfort him, but I didn't know how to speak, so I got up and knelt on the bed and hugged him.

I held Xi Zhan's neck and placed my chin on his shoulders. He hugged my waist tightly and buried his face in my neck.

Xi Zhan remained silent, his emotions seemed very stable. It took him a long time to let go and get up and leave.

When I came back again, I held two bowls in my hand.

It turned out that he knew I hadn't eaten.

After dinner, Xi Zhan put the bowl on the table and went to bed. He lay beside me and reached out to hug me into his arms.

My nose tip was not feeling well against his chest, but I couldn't bear to leave, and Xi Zhan fell asleep soon after.

He hadn't had much rest in the past two days, so I felt quite sorry for him. I raised my uninjured hand and hugged his waist tightly.

I fell asleep soon after.

...

When he woke up in the morning, Xi Zhan was still lying beside me, and his eyes were staring at his head with a little confused.

I rubbed my eyes and raised my hand to touch his cheek. The delicate texture rubbed in the palm of my hand and felt very comfortable.

I lowered my voice and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Xi Zhan suddenly closed his eyes and held the over and said: "My three brothers and I were sent to the house by our father since we were young. Whoever returns to the Xi family first without any help is the heir to the Xi family."

I know that Xi Zhan was sent to attend home since he was a child, and his life in those years must have been difficult.

Hull also said that when he was about to starve to death on the streets of Finland, the He family gave him a bite of food to survive.

I kissed his cheek with distress and asked gently, "The way back must be difficult, right?"

He nodded softly without saying how he returned to the Xi family, but said in a slightly deep voice: "I admire my father since I was a child. Even if he sent me to the house, even if he treated us four brothers very coldly, we admire him from beginning to end! Because he is very powerful, he covers the sky with only his hands, and he can protect all the people and things he wants to protect. He is an admirable father, at least that was what I thought before my three brothers passed away."

I gently pressed my cheek against his cold cheek to give him some comfort: "What then?"

"I am the first person to enter the Xi family. The three brothers fell behind me. My father sank them in front of me."

No one knows how the other three heirs of the Xi family died. I have had countless speculations in the past. I have thought that tigers will not eat their babies, and this is the most accurate truth that Xi Zhan told me.

The old man who kindly stroked my cheek the first time he saw me really killed his son, and seemed to have no guilt before his death.

Xi Zhan was about twenty years old back then. He returned to the Xi family with great anticipation and met his father happily.

As a result, I saw with my own eyes that the person I admire most killed my brother who was connected to me.

I asked with a trembling heart, "Which lake?"

"The lake you fell down today."

When I thought of three unjust souls at the bottom of the lake, I couldn't help but feel sad. I silently shed tears and heard Xi Zhan continue, "I want to save them, but I couldn't beat my father at that time... From then on, I knew that the Xi family was a feudal and pedantic family, and sooner or later it would decline as he grows old."

Xi Zhan, the Xi family, is not going to have any plans, so it will be a matter of time before the decline is finally happening. The women in this old house will either disperse or stay here to retire.

No newcomers will set foot here again.

I kissed Xi Zhan's bright forehead, and he suddenly opened his eyes and said in a low voice: "I have blamed him, hated him, and I rarely even returned here. In the next seven years, he took away his power, became a man as powerful as him, and naturally became a man as cruel as him!"

I shook my head and said, "No, you are different from him in the end! Xi Zhan, you know what you want, you never let yourself down, you end up being the same, you are different from him in the end."

Hearing me say this, Xi Zhan suddenly stood up and leaned against the head of the bed. He raised his hand and gently stroked my tears with two fingers, raised his lips and said, "Well, I am different from him after all. He has the Xi family and an indelible responsibility, and I..."

Xi Zhan stopped and said for a while: "After all, I have nothing to do with the Xi family. The only thing I care about is you, that's all."

I had nothing to do with the Xi family. I didn't know what this sentence meant at that time, but Xi Zhan looked at me with a firm look on his face.

I seem to understand love from that, and I learned from him what firmness is, what ends from oneself, and what full trust is.

The only thing I care about is you,

That's all.

I am Xi Zhan and that's all.

This is nothing more than a touch of spring light that shines on the dark and wet earth deep in my heart. I suddenly understood clearly why I had to choose Xi Zhan to follow him.

Because he knows love.

He cherishes the one he loves.

No matter where I go, no matter what danger I encounter, no matter what scenery I have seen...

As long as I turn around, he will be in place.

All this life is true.

I bent over and hugged him with emotion. He hugged my shoulders and said lightly: "Yun'er, don't leave me in this life."

"I will never leave you in my life."

Unless he doesn't want me.

Otherwise, for what reason would I leave him?

I can't bear to leave him, I will never bear to leave him in my life.

The love he gave me was so different from the love Gu Tingchen gave me. I began to regret it in my heart. It would be great if I had met him earlier.

"Sorry, I didn't meet you earlier."

His voice was dark, "It's just right now."

I nodded softly, and suddenly remembered what his biological mother said in my mind, and began to feel inferior.

I had more or less inferiority in front of him.

I really don't deserve such a perfect man.

But in the future I am willing to trust him wholeheartedly.

Love him with a complete heart.
