"I, I... I didn't mean to... Brother, I was wrong, please don't go..."
Aoqian was unsure whether doing so would still be effective.
He was so desperate that he tried anything.
As long as he could make Song Xiwei feel sorry for him and pity him, as long as he could keep her around.
Song Xiwei was held tightly by Ao Qian and could hardly breathe. "Hey, stop crying. When did your brother say he was leaving?"
"You were so scary just now, I thought..." Ao Qian sniffed, his eyes and the tip of his nose were red, looking as if he had been badly bullied.
Song Xiwei reached out and pinched his cheek. "You're just feeling anxious because you've done too many bad things, aren't you?"
Aoqian's heart sank. How much did she really know?
Was she testing him?
He didn't want to hide anything from Song Xiwei at all; he trusted Song Xiwei completely. But some things had to be planned and done in secret.
He couldn't afford to lose. He was scheming and willing to lose everything, but he couldn't live without her.
She was the light that saved him, the warmth that gave him a new life. He had never liked anyone so much before, and once he did, he never wanted to give her up.
Even now, as long as I can keep her by my side, I'll pretend to be whatever she likes. As long as I can achieve my goal, the process and means don't matter.
He wouldn't lie to her if he had any other, better method; he least wanted to lie to her.
"The Demon Clan has been in trouble recently, why have you never mentioned it to me?" Just when Aoqian thought he was about to apologize, Song Xiwei spoke up.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed she still didn't know...
"Did I leak something in my sleep?" he asked, feigning confusion.
As Song Xiwei wiped away his tears, she sighed, "You never talk in your sleep. I overheard your conversation with the elders. You used to discuss matters with the elders without ever hiding it from me, but lately you've been sneaking around, always doing it when I'm not around..."
Ao's heart skipped a beat. "No, I didn't mean to avoid you. I didn't want to hide anything from you while you were away, I..."
"I'm not trying to interfere in your internal affairs. I just don't want to be a lazy person. Now that I've become your elder brother, it's not just about you calling me brother. It's about taking on the responsibility of protecting you and the demon race. Don't forget, besides being your adopted brother, I'm also your sword, a partner and subordinate you can trust!"
Aoqian pursed his lips, suddenly feeling very sad. Song Xiwei always had this righteous look on her face.
Compared to her, he was like someone who couldn't stand the light of day, but so what?
Even if it's just a shadow, he will still chase after this light.
“It’s a branch of the Demon Clan. There’s been a few issues, but don’t worry, it should be resolved soon. You don’t need to worry about it…” Ao Qiandu Song Xiwei explained.
Song Xiwei frowned and asked him, "Is it really just a small problem? But I always feel that this matter is strange. The elders' reactions do not seem to be those of a small matter. You said you trust me, but don't just say it. I came to Chidu with you not to be a freeloader or to eat for free. If you feel that I can't help you, we can explain things to each other."
"No, no, I'll tell you everything, I'll tell you all the details, please don't be angry..."
“Good brother, that’s more like it. Since you can rely on me for other trivial matters, I don’t want you to hide your difficulties from me.”
Hearing Song Xiwei call him "good younger brother," Aoqian felt a pang of sadness.
But he knew that the reason he could get Song Xiwei to be lenient with him was because of his younger brother.
He still has to maintain his status as a good younger brother.
She feigned weakness towards Song Xi and said, "I know, brother, I'll tell you everything."
Song Xi nodded slightly: "Tell me, what exactly happened!"
Ao Qian said earnestly to Song Xiwei, "The story begins a month ago, when..."
