"What nonsense are you talking about? The past is the past. Now I'm your older brother, it's only natural for me to take care of you and be good to you. Don't feel guilty, be good, okay?"

Song Xiwei felt that Aoqian had been unusually fragile lately.

Perhaps because Aoqian has no relatives, he has regarded her as his only support since acknowledging her as his elder brother, which is why he has been showing weakness more and more often.

Song Xiwei couldn't help but feel sorry for and pity Aoqian...

Even if Aoqian wanted the moon in the sky, she would probably try every means to pluck it down for him.

Because of Aoqian's excessive dependence on her, she discovered that compared to two years ago, and compared to those awkward few days when she accidentally became Aoqian's fiancé, Aoqian's dependence on her recently had reached an outrageous level.

She cries as soon as she opens her eyes and can't see anything, and it takes a long time to soothe her.

For example, he must snuggle in her arms to sleep, and she must pat his back to lull him to sleep. Even after he falls asleep, she cannot let go of him, and he must open his eyes and see her as soon as possible...

She was a very responsible and considerate older brother.

In front of her, Aoqian became increasingly carefree, like a child who was finally being loved by an adult.

For some reason, she always felt heartache for Aoqian and would unconditionally indulge him.

And Aoqian was also very clear about one thing.

He knew he had gone too far, taking advantage of Song Xiwei's kindness and doing something that would lead to his utter ruin.

Song Xiwei wanted to be his older brother, not his fiancé, so he would grant her wish and let her be his older brother.

Although he had never really thought that way in his heart.

But on the surface, he really did become a clingy younger brother.

He was constantly acting cute and vulnerable towards her.

Song Xiwei was indeed caught off guard by Ao Qian's behavior, but she indulged him to the point of being lawless.

Aoqian was jealous of Song Xiwei's excessive pampering.

Why is it that being her younger brother allows him to be so pampered, to receive so much of her love and tenderness, to be able to hug her without any restraint, to hold her hand, and to sleep close to her in bed...?

But setting aside his identity as her brother, he had gone to great lengths to scheme against her, yet he almost lost her.

Aoqian dared not take any more risks and could only continue to be the younger brother Aoqian who couldn't live without Song Xiwei and cried all day long.

Three days later, Song Xiwei acted out of character.

When Song Xiwei woke up in the morning, she didn't greet him with a smile or ask him what he wanted to eat; instead, she just stared blankly into space.

Aoqian suddenly felt uneasy about this change.

Did she discover that he had been pretending to be a well-behaved and vulnerable younger brother to deceive her into caring for him?

The unease in my heart grew stronger and stronger.

Aoqian was terrified that Song Xiwei would one day truly be disappointed and heartbroken in him, and leave him without looking back.

He was always afraid that day would come true, because the more he schemed, the more guilty he felt, even in his dreams.

When you care too much, you become uncontrollably calculating and trying every means to keep someone.

"Brother... are you unhappy?" Aoqian asked her tentatively.

Song Xiwei turned around in a daze and glanced at Ao Qian.

“I heard you talking in your sleep,” Song Xiwei said, looking at Aoqian.

Aoqian felt a jolt in his heart, as if something had shattered.

He looked at her in horror.

Has this day finally come?

His scheming, his elaborate scheme, his pretense...

She's seen through everything, and I have nowhere to hide. What can I do to keep her here?

"Why haven't you told me the truth all this time?" Song Xi frowned slightly and asked him.

Aoqian was extremely flustered.

"I, I..." He was sweating profusely with anxiety.

Would it work if I showed weakness to Song Xiwei and cried to him at this time?

He felt anxious and wanted to cry, and once he started crying, he couldn't stop.

"I'm sorry, I... I was so afraid you'd leave me, I really didn't mean to..."

"Hmm? Why are you crying?" Song Xiwei sighed helplessly. Had she been too fierce and scared him? Why was he crying so heartbrokenly?
