Feng Guang was unaware of what Shu Bai and You Ji had discussed in secret. When she returned to her room, she saw Xia Chao open the suitcase she had placed on the table. She almost immediately went over and pushed Xia Chao away, saying irritably, "Who told you to touch my things?!"

"You are my daughter, and your things are yours. Can't I touch them?" Xia Chao took a step back, his expression showing some displeasure.

Feng Guang closed the box, saying, "My things are my things, and that has nothing to do with whether I'm your daughter or not!"

"So angry... Who gave you all this stuff in the box?" Xia Chao thought he had quite a few people under his command, but collecting so much candy was no easy task. After all, it had been three years since the apocalypse, and many foods in the supermarket had either been looted by other survivors or had expired.

Feng Guang remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "These were all gifts from my brother."

“It’s Fengying…” Xia Chao’s face showed a hint of sadness when he mentioned this name.

Feng Guang sneered, "Weren't you quite resolute when you wanted to shoot? Why are you pretending to be sad now?"

“Fengying has been by my side for so long. Whether you believe it or not, I at least treat him as my son.”

"If that's the case, why were you so decisive in giving him up back then?"

“Because ultimately, I only have one child.” Xia Chao walked over, wanting to pat her head, but she took a step back to avoid it. He withdrew his hand. “Feng Guang, in your heart now, is Feng Ying more important than me, his father?”

Feng Guang looked up and suddenly laughed, "Over the years, only he has been by my side. Although my brother always speaks ill of me, he has never thought of abandoning me. But you, since Mom passed away, all I remember about you is your endless work. Isn't that brother much better than you?"

"The reason I don't have time for you is because..."

Xia Chao stopped abruptly and asked, "For what reason?"

“I’m busy with work so that I can give you a better life.” Xia Chao’s eyes revealed his helplessness. “Feng Guang and Feng Ying were never related to us by blood. Did their deaths have too much of an impact on you?”

"Blood ties...that's all you know how to say!" Feng Guang grabbed a pillow from the bed and threw it at him. "My brother is much more important than any of this stuff!"

Xia Chao easily caught the pillow she threw at him and said with considerable regret, "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have brought Feng Ying back back then."

Xia Fengying came to the Xia family when Fengguang was four years old. At that time, Xia Fengying was already fourteen years old. He had no memory of coming to the Xia family before, and his mind was like a blank sheet of paper. Even some common sense about life was taught to him slowly by Fengguang. In the Xia family, only Xia Fengying did not know that he was adopted. Everyone kept this a secret very well. Even if Xia Fengying later went astray and Fengguang was very angry with him, she would never say that he was just adopted by our family.

Similarly, Xia Fengying hid his feelings too well. Even at the end of his life, he still believed that he was Fengguang's older brother. If... if Fengguang had realized his feelings sooner, perhaps he wouldn't have suffered for so long.

Feng Guang once asked his father why he named his older brother Feng Ying. Xia Chao just smiled and said, "Because he is just someone who comes to play with Feng Guang. Wherever Feng Guang goes, he will go, just like Feng Guang's shadow."
