Chapter 160 Taking Everything and Making Nothing

Xie Siyan softened his expression, withdrew his hand, and the warmth of Song Yingxi still lingered on his hand hanging by his side.

Fortunately, the temperature has started to drop.

He asked gently, "Yingxi, are you still feeling unwell anywhere?"

Song Yingxi originally wanted Xie Siyan to leave, but the moment she looked up, she met his concerned gaze.

A complex emotion welled up inside me.

She swallowed those words back down her throat.

"I'm fine now, thank you for your concern."

Xie Siyan looked at Song Yingxi and felt a pang of sadness. He thought about how Song Yingxi had been alone all these years and wondered how many similar situations she had experienced.

A woman who becomes pregnant out of wedlock is easily subject to gossip.

But she never complained to him, bearing it all alone.

Thinking of this, Xie Siyan felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe, and a bitter feeling rushed to his throat.

He tried hard to suppress the bitter feeling.

His voice was dry and hoarse: "Yingxi, have you been living like this all these years?"

Song Yingxi lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Her long eyelashes trembled frequently.

Xie Siyan's heart broke when he saw her like this.

His slender fingers hesitated for a moment before finally landing on Song Yingxi's cheek, where he felt a slight dampness.

Xie Siyan instantly realized that these were tears.

He immediately squatted down in front of Song Yingxi, gently cupped her face in his hands, and made her face him.

Those beautiful almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears, almost spilling over, and even the corners of her eyes were tinged with red.

Song Yingxi didn't want him to see her vulnerable side, so she subconsciously tried to turn her head away.

But those hands were as heavy as iron clamps, making it impossible for her to break free.

Xie Siyan gently wiped away her tears, looking at her with heartache.

"I'm sorry, Yingxi, it's all my fault. I made you suffer so much. From now on, I'll never let you suffer any more."

Song Yingxi looked at him quietly, wondering if it was because she was sick or because she was vulnerable.

Those usually stubborn eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

A feeling of grievance welled up in her heart.

Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, as if a broken string had been pulled.

Xie Siyan knew that she had suppressed too much pain in her heart.

She needs an outlet to vent her emotions, otherwise the long-term accumulation will overwhelm her.

He gently stroked Song Yingxi's head and whispered, "Yingxi, let me stay by your and Youzi's side. I will protect you forever. Youzi needs his mother..."

He suddenly stopped talking and looked down to look Song Yingxi in the eye.

He pressed his thin lips together, and said with utmost seriousness, "Yingxi, I love you. Let's get married. Let me be your support, okay?"

Song Yingxi's eyes were bloodshot.

The tears on his cheeks stung Xie Siyan's heart even more under the lamplight, and he felt a tightness in his chest.

He slowly approached Song Yingxi, his thin lips, cool to the touch, taut and strained.

Staring at the tears in Song Yingxi's eyes, a dry voice came from his throat.

"Yingxi, may I kiss you?"

Song Yingxi stared blankly at the man who was so close to her.

Her body remained in the same position, but the grievances in her eyes surged out like a flood bursting its banks.

She called softly, "Xie Siyan..."

Xie Siyan looked at her with utmost tenderness and said softly, "I'm here, Yingxi."

That simple phrase, "I'm here," touched a nerve with Song Yingxi, causing her to lose her composure and calm after years of pent-up grievances.

She grabbed Xie Siyan's collar: "Xie Siyan, do you know how much I like you? I mustered up the courage to confess to you, but all I got in return was your cold rejection. Do you know how much my heart ached then? I swore in my heart that I would never pay attention to your news again, but my heart still couldn't help liking you, and I still couldn't help secretly picking up the photos. I've tried so hard, why do you still ignore me?"

As her words fell.

Hot tears streamed down her face.

A tear fell onto Xie Siyan's hand, burning his very soul.

Xie Siyan's cool lips gently sucked away the teardrops clinging to Song Yingxi's eyelashes, and he said with heartache, "Yingxi, it's all my fault for being so oblivious. I clearly fell in love with you a long time ago, but I didn't realize it. All these years, I've lived in regret, dreaming countless times about that time on the mountain. I didn't reject you, we were together, but after waking up, I was back to square one. All these years, I've been constantly searching for you. I want to tell you in person that I love you, Yingxi. Let's start over, okay?"

This man has deeply touched Song Yingxi's heart, especially after hearing him say he likes her.

She could no longer control her emotions.

Her feverish mind wasn't as clear as usual, allowing her to follow her inner madness and no longer deliberately wear a seemingly strong facade as a protective color.

She suddenly grabbed Xie Siyan's collar.

Her soft lips unexpectedly pressed against his.

The familiar touch brought back a series of memories.

That night, she did the craziest thing she had ever done in her life. She loved this man and rushed towards Xie Siyan like a moth to a flame.

The rubber lip was instantly removed.

Xie Siyan's body trembled violently. He froze for a second, and after reacting, he grabbed Song Yingxi's head with his large hand and responded fiercely.

Reason vanished at that moment.

Both of them suppressed their longing for each other.

The quiet room immediately became ambiguous.

The two, reunited after a long separation, were like people lost in the desert who had found a life-saving spring, desperately drawing warmth from each other.

However, they were each other's first love, and apart from the time when Yuzu became pregnant unexpectedly, they had no practical experience.

The kiss was off.

Xie Siyan only regretted that she was usually too engrossed in her work and hadn't gone online to learn some skills in this area.

They kept kissing.

Song Yingxi did not respond, and Xie Siyan was startled.

The moment I looked up, my heart returned to calm.

It turned out that Song Yingxi's chin was resting on his shoulder in a daze.

I closed my eyes and started to doze off again.

She caught a cold yesterday and had a fever all day today, so she was already exhausted. Just now, she experienced a rollercoaster of emotions.

Xie Siyan kissed her so hard, like an octopus sucker, that she almost suffocated.

Xie Siyan smiled helplessly.

He got up and gently helped her onto the bed.

He leaned down and kissed Song Yingxi's eyes, a handsome smile curving his lips: "Song Yingxi, don't forget what you did to me today, or you'll be a heartless woman who takes advantage of me and then refuses to take responsibility."

Xie Siyan came out of the room to prepare to cook porridge.

Little Yuzu immediately got up from the sofa and toddled over to her father.

The father and son, with their strikingly similar faces, looked at each other for a while.
