This is a princess room.

To be precise, everything inside looks like something you'd find in a princess's room.

It clashes somewhat with the original layout of the room.

Tang Li stood frozen at the doorway, not daring to go inside.

“These were all carefully prepared by your older brother to welcome the baby. Originally, these items should have been placed in the children's room next to your master bedroom. After you broke up with your older brother, he was afraid that you would feel sad if you came back and saw them, so he sealed them all away here.”

Huo Yancheng went inside, touched the pink crib, and unconsciously sighed.

"The crib was made by my older brother himself. All the materials he used were safe. As for the bed canopy, he got the color swatches from Blue Dove and compared them one by one before choosing this one. He was afraid that ordinary pink would be too cheap and tacky. After all, my sister-in-law's taste is always on point."

Choosing a color alone required the attention of renowned designer Lan Ge, which shows how meticulous he was.

“And here, sister-in-law, come and see.”

Huo Yancheng opened the gray-pink wardrobe, which was filled with matching light-colored family outfits.

“These matching family outfits are not available on the market. Some of them were sampled by Lan Ge and his designers, and then personally reviewed by the eldest brother. Others were drawn by the eldest brother himself based on the ideas of a family of three, and then handed over to Lan Ge’s design team to make the garments.”

"He is very devoted, loves you very much, and loves your baby very much too."

Huo Yancheng subconsciously looked at Tang Li's abdomen, and Tang Li smiled bitterly:

"There is no baby. I lied to you."

Huo Yancheng smiled and reassured him:

"It will happen sooner or later. I always believe that even if two people who love each other deeply are separated in the sea of ​​people, they will eventually grow old together. But I hope even more that, no matter how far apart you are, you will go together and come back together, and neither of you will abandon the other."

The couple he ships must have a happy ending.

Tang Li felt a pang of sadness and couldn't bear to look any longer, so she smiled.

"Let's go find some of Teacher Xi's old belongings."

She was the first to leave the room.

Huo Yancheng followed closely behind: "Sister-in-law, don't you have anything to say or ask?"

"What should I say? Apologize? What should I ask? Ask me if I feel guilty?"

Tang Li walked in a hurry, and Huo Yancheng chased after him:

“Sister-in-law, that’s not what I meant. Although my brother’s feelings for you have never changed, the way he loves you is something that even I, a grown man, can’t accept, let alone you. But I have to admit that most men like to love their loved ones in this self-righteous way.”

"It's not terrible to love in the wrong way. We are all experiencing life for the first time, and it's impossible to be perfect. The meaning of love is to tell us that in our short few decades of life, there will be someone who allows us to make mistakes, forgives our stupidity, accepts our mediocrity, and will steadfastly accompany us until the end of our lives."

That's well said.

Tang Li admired him from the bottom of his heart.

And agree.

But right now she couldn't say anything, so she could only feign anger and ask:

"Are you still looking for old items? If not, I'm leaving now."

"Looking, looking, looking, this way please, sister-in-law."

Huo Yancheng walked over, put his hands on her shoulders, and led her to the treasure room next door.

There weren't many old items left by Xi Haitang, and they all seemed to have been carefully collected by Huo Chenyu.

Tang Li found Xi Haitang's wish collection among a pile of old objects.

A very small wish diary, in which Xi Haitang recorded one hundred things she wanted to do.

Opening the diary, there were more than eighty items she had already completed.

From becoming a painter to becoming a wife and mother.

And to pass on painting as a tradition.

There are also some personal small achievements.

Up to the eighty-ninth item, the handwriting became somewhat blurred, probably because tears fell and wet the notebook while it was being written.

It simply says eight words:

I really want to see him again.

he?

Who are you referring to?

Is he the child's father?

After all, during the last days of her life, although she had separated from Huo Yishen, Huo Yishen was always by her side.

Therefore, this "he" can be completely ruled out as Huo Yishen.

Looking at the handwriting in the diary, from the vigorous and powerful strokes in the early stages to the soft and feeble strokes in the later stages, one can feel from the way she wrote that she was clearly losing her strength in the final days of her life.

Huo Yancheng's eyes welled up with tears as he looked at these eight words:

"To love someone you can't have is probably the greatest regret in this world."

Tang Li could completely empathize with her.

But in front of Huo Yancheng, she said casually, "Take Teacher Xi's wish collection to your brother and you can clear things up for your father, at least it can ease the tension between them."

Huo Chenyu always felt that Huo Yishen had let his mother down.

Even though he already knew that Huo Yishen was not his biological father, the existence of Huo Sitang and Huo Yancheng was enough to prove that Huo Yishen had not been faithful to his wife during the duration of his marriage.

Even in the final moments of her life, he might have been running between the two places.

"Sister-in-law, admit it, you've been helping my brother find his biological father and you've been trying to ease the tension between him and my dad. You really love him, don't you?"

After Huo Yancheng finished speaking, he immediately chuckled:

"Alright, alright, I won't say any more. You know it in your heart, sister-in-law. Come on, let's continue to the next page."

Tang Li turned to the next page, which read:

I long to return to campus and meet him again at the corner. The ginkgo leaves that day were beautiful, and one of them fell right onto his shoulder. Together with his eyes and brows, they have amazed me for the rest of my life.
