Yan Xi tried to force out a stiff smile, "It's okay, Xiao Xia, you don't have to explain to me, no matter who you are, I will always be your brother Yan Xi."

There was a barely perceptible bitterness in his smile.

His young first love was over before it even began.

When Yan Xi first learned that Li Xia was pregnant, his heart skipped a beat.

But even so, he never gave up his determination to be with Li Xia.

Until he found out from clues that the father of her unborn child was her nominal uncle.

Yan Xi had no choice but to give up.

Even though he was unwilling, he knew that he had no chance of winning against Shan Yilin.

certainly.

Yan Xi did not back down because of these obstacles.

The most important thing is that he understands that Li Xia only sees him as the brother next door.

"Xiao Xia, in my heart you have always been an indestructible cockroach. You will never be defeated by the disease this time. Moreover, you are a mother now. For the sake of your baby, you must be strong. When you defeat the disease, I will personally congratulate you."

Yan Xi tried hard to appear calm.

He didn't want to become a bother to Li Xia.

It’s just a pity that fate plays a trick on them. They are destined to be together but not meant to be.

Li Xia bit her lower lip, looked up at Yan Xi, and said with emotion: "Brother Yan Xi, thank you, really."

She is neither stupid nor foolish.

She was aware of Yan Xi's feelings for her, but she only had pure family and friendship feelings for him, not love.

Since it's a fruitless thing, we can at least remain friends if we don't say it out loud.

"Looking at your current condition, I can leave with peace of mind."

Yan Xi curled his lips, and a faint smile as warm as spring breeze appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Hearing this, Li Xia blinked and said, "Brother Yan Xi, are you leaving?"

"Yes, my mother is still waiting for me at the hotel. Seeing you and Uncle Li finally reunited after going through so many hardships, I suddenly realized something. Over the years, I have been living under the wings of my parents. They held up the sky for me, but unknowingly, I seemed to have overlooked that I grew up, but my parents got older day by day. I don't even know how many white hairs they have. Xiaoxia, you made me understand that I am not a competent son. Fortunately, I woke up not too late. I have to go back and spend time with my parents. They have been around me for half their lives, and it's my turn to be around them."

Yan Xi nodded.

As he spoke, he seemed to have grown up a lot in an instant.

Everyone has gains and losses.

Compared to many people, he is also happy.

Li Xia responded, "Brother Yan Xi, you are right. The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. The son wants to support his parents but they are no longer there. We cannot wait until it is too late to regret after we have lost them. Take this opportunity to spend time with uncle and aunt. I will also work hard and will never let you down. Wait for my good news."

"Well, I believe you." Yan Xi nodded.
