"Brother!"
Tang Ning was filled with surprise and hurried over. When he got close, he put his hand on his face and said, "You're awake. Are you feeling unwell? Do you know how scared I was? What on earth did you and Xin Deng do? You both fell into a deep sleep."
Xiao Yan felt the softness on her face and looked at her face so close to him. It was not the miserable face of being emaciated, disfigured and having broken legs before death, nor was it the miserable face of rolling down the cliff on Mount Qi. Her eyes were full of worry at this moment, and her face was very beautiful when her red lips opened and closed, just like the face he had seen countless times in his memory, as beautiful as a crabapple in spring.
"Tang Ning."
"What's wrong?"
"How are you?"
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment and was about to say something when he suddenly stopped.
The face in front of her was a familiar face, and the person was also someone she was familiar with, but the eyes were not her brother's. Those beautiful black eyes were filled with longing, and even when he smiled, his smile was solemn and deep, different from her brother's. Tang Ning suddenly let go of Xiao Yan's hand, stood up and took a half step back.
"You are not my brother."
The next moment, she suddenly grabbed the bedside candle and pressed the sharp end against Xiao Yan's neck.
"Who are you? Where is my brother?!"
Xiao Yan looked at the alert woman, her eyes full of fierceness. She recognized the difference between him and "Xiao Yan" at a glance. The gentleness she had just shown towards her brother was gone. The sharpness and calmness she showed in dealing with the situation were something that the girl from the Song family, who was plotted against until her death, did not have.
Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with smiles: "It seems that he takes good care of you."
It is not a sparrow raised in the boudoir, but an eagle flying freely. The crabapple flower that once withered in the greenhouse is raised by "him" in this life and hangs high on the branch. It has never been polluted by mud and will not bow to anyone.
"I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you that day at Duke Song's mansion."
Tang Ning's pupils suddenly widened, and the hand holding the candlestick could not help but tremble. The next moment, the person in front of her found a gap and grabbed her wrist and pulled hard. She stumbled into the arms of "Xiao Yan". She was about to push him away when she heard someone whisper in her ear:
"Xiao Haitang, he likes you very much."
It felt like someone was struggling, trying to squeeze him out of the body, and the intense pain was piercing his heart.
The Buddhist beads that had been taken off before returned to his wrist at some point, with dense cracks appearing on them.
The sound of Buddhist chanting appeared again in his ears, and the sound of chanting became louder and louder. Xiao Yan let go of the person in his arms: "I'm leaving. Can you call me brother?"
“…He’ll get jealous.”
Xiao Yan looked at Tang Ning with a serious expression and suddenly laughed.
He seemed to understand why he fell in love with her.
The bond in their childhood was just fate. He would protect her and take care of her because of that past, but he would never fall deeply in love with her. However, if it was such a unique preference, a choice without hesitation, even if it was him, he would willingly give his heart to her just like "Xiao Yan" in this life.
The body's rejection became more and more intense, and the sound of the old monk chanting in his ears became louder and louder. When Xiao Yan felt the Buddhist beads on his wrist shatter, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed Tang Ning on the forehead.
"Xiao Haitang, you have to be well."
The Buddhist beads broke and the broken beads scattered all over the ground.
When a white light flashed before Xiao Yan's eyes, he felt himself being pushed out by that body. When his mind returned to chaos, he could still hear the furious curses of "Xiao Yan" who had taken back his body.
"Who are you calling Xiao Haitang? This is my Xiao Haitang. She's mine. Who allowed you to kiss her!!!"
