"Elder brother, please accept my bow!"
Although it wasn't a formal sworn brotherhood, Aoqian was currently unwell, and this was all he could do.
Song Xiwei had no intention of forcing Aoqian to swear a blood oath, or actually kneeling and kowtowing with her to go through the motions.
She had always wanted to take Aoqian under her wing, feeling that only by truly becoming his brother could she better control him.
I never imagined my dream would come true at this moment.
It gave her a dreamlike feeling.
"Good brother, I'll protect you from now on, you'll live the high life!" He reached out and ruffled Aoqian's hair, his face full of affection.
Whether it was a misperception or not, Aoqian's lips twitched, and his smile was very strange. "Yes, then I'll have to trouble you for protection, brother."
In just one day, she finally got rid of the awkward identity of being a fiancé.
Song Xiwei, who plays Aoqian's older brother, feels absolutely wonderful.
If she had a tail, it would be flying high in the air right now.
Since becoming Song Xiwei's subordinate, Aoqian has changed his usual behavior and taken feigning weakness to the extreme.
But Song Xiwei just fell for it.
"Brother, I'm thirsty. Can you feed me some water?" Aoqian blinked his eyes, and his usually aloof face made such a pitiful little expression, which almost melted Song Xiwei's heart.
"Okay, I'll feed you now~" Song Xiwei smiled broadly as she fed Aoqian water spoonful by spoonful. Aoqian leaned against her, as if he had no bones.
By the time she finished her glass of water, Aoqian had already fallen asleep in her arms.
Song Xiwei was about to put Aoqian down when Aoqian mumbled, "Brother, lull him to sleep..."
Song Xiwei: "???"
Why does this older brother have to worry about so much?
"Brother?" Aoqian mumbled again, snuggling closer to her and finding a comfortable position. "Brother, don't leave me..."
"Don't leave, go to sleep. Sigh..." Song Xi sighed. How could Aoqian adapt to being her younger brother so quickly?
Look how soundly Aoqian is sleeping in her arms.
He called him "brother" so naturally, as if they were really brothers.
Song Xiwei felt that something was off.
I can't quite put my finger on it...
In the blink of an eye, it has been half a month since he became Brother Aoqian.
For the past two weeks, I've had to feed Aoqian three meals a day, coax him to sleep, and read him classical poems and stories from storybooks when he gets bored...
Song Xiwei had never thought that her patience could be so good.
And Aoqian's innocent and adoring calls of "brother" seem to always inspire her to dote on him endlessly.
That day, Song Xiwei went to the kitchen to prepare lunch for Aoqian.
Aoqian has recovered and is able to get out of bed and move around.
After exchanging a few brief words with the elders, Aoqian went for a walk in the courtyard.
He deliberately waited in a spot where Song Xiwei could see him as soon as she entered.
As soon as Song Xiwei came into his view, Aoqian weakly leaned against the wall, as if he was about to collapse at any moment.
Upon seeing this, Song Xiwei turned pale with fright. "Why aren't you lying down?"
"You've been gone for so long, brother. I thought you didn't want me anymore. I thought you left and abandoned me..." Aoqian said weakly, his voice trembling. "I had a nightmare. I dreamt that you were leaving me, and no matter how I tried to stop you, it was no use..."
As Aoqian spoke, a few tears fell.
Song Xiwei pulled Aoqian into her arms. "The dream is fake. I won't leave you. Don't think too much."
"Brother, please don't leave me alone when I'm asleep next time. I feel really sad when I can't see you..." Aoqian snuggled into Song Xiwei's arms.
Song Xiwei gently patted Aoqian's back, "Okay, I promise you, I'll do whatever you say."
From an angle unseen by Song Xiwei, Aoqian's lips curled into a triumphant smile, but she said weakly, "Won't you think I'm too much trouble, brother? I used to cook for you, but now I'm troubling you like this..."
