Chapter 114 If I Love Someone, I Will Love Him Until Death

The younger brother represents the weak and is the one who needs to be cared for and protected.

This gender is ambiguous.

No matter whether it is a younger brother or a younger sister, for the older sister, it is a kind of care from top to bottom.

Zhou Yanli didn't like this feeling.

He is more eager to play the role of a protector.

But it doesn't work.

His thoughts only allowed him to be a younger brother, a younger brother who had no extravagant desires.

She guessed what he was thinking, but she didn't like it.

It's okay.

Zhou Yanli said to himself.

He can temporarily hide his true feelings, he can pretend nothing happened, as long as he can be by her side, what does it matter if he is her brother or someone else?

Nian Xi hoped that he could get out of it, but what she didn't know was that since that winter when she broke into the dark rockery and reached out to him, he had been unable to get out.

If I love someone, I will love him or her to death.

That small rockery is his magnificent scenery on earth.

"Sister, are you going to abandon me like mother did?"

The tea on the table was emitting bursts of hot steam. The light coming in from the spacious room illuminated his handsome features and his beautiful eyes with a red halo at the corners.

If Nian Xi had not had so many years of experience, had not had those feelings of empathy for those things that could not be obtained, and had not seen the concentration behind the indifferent brow of the red-robed official, she might have really believed it.

But now, looking at those eyes as clear as ink, she hesitated.

Nian Xi stared at him.

Zhou Yanli retracted his gaze and smiled at her, "I won't make my sister angry again. I won't do anything you don't like."

So please stop distancing yourself from me.

After a long silence, Nian Xi finally felt relieved.

Everyone has moments of pain and sorrow.

Nianxi herself had also struggled in agony.

Burning loneliness, unable to get what you want, heartbroken and hurt...it's not even about others, it's only about yourself.

Each person is an individual.

Everyone has the right to choose to persevere.

Regardless of whether what he said at this moment was sincere or false, this was Zhou Yanli's choice.

Isn't it just another form of forcing him to let go?

But she wouldn't respond.

"I'm not that easily angered." She looked at him with a smile, "Eat quickly, or the food will get cold and you won't be able to eat it."

"Yanli, do you want to drink?" The girl's voice was always soft and gentle, with a touch of worldly charm.

Zhou Yanli shook his head slightly, "Forget it."

He always remembered that she didn't like people around her smelling of alcohol.

Nian Xi was silent for a few breaths, then smiled again, "When you were thirteen, you secretly drank wine. You were obviously very drunk, but you insisted on asking me to teach you how to embroider. I refused, so you acted like a spoiled child."

"Sister, you promised not to mention it again."

Zhou Yanli stood tall and straight, with the thinness that only young people have. At this moment, he rarely showed some embarrassment, and complained to Nianxi, "I drink less now."

Zhou Yanli became especially clingy after getting drunk, and insisted that Nianxi teach him how to embroider a bird. Nianxi had no choice but to take out the embroidery studio to do it perfunctorily.

But a drunkard's words are the most untrustworthy. As soon as he picked up the needle and thread, he felt dizzy and spit on the sachet that Nian Xi had been embroidering for half a year. The disgusted Nian Xi refused to pay any attention to him for a whole month.

Zhou Yanli thought of the embarrassing things that happened in the past, and a rare look of relief and joy appeared on his face.

Nian Xi smiled and said, "That's good. I was just testing you. You can't drink that much outside."

"My sister was obsessed with sweet cakes for a while and asked me to buy them every day." Zhou Yanli was not to be outdone and immediately revealed the truth, "My sister and I ate sweet cakes for half a year, and one day you——"

"Zhou Yanli, you are not allowed to say that!"

Nian Xi interrupted with a red face.

Of course she knew what he was talking about.

At that time, she had gained a lot of weight from eating sweet cakes. One day, she wore new clothes. She wanted to look coquettish, so she always pulled her waist tighter. Because the new clothes were made earlier, she had gained an inch more and was even more unable to breathe because of the tightness.

But he thought he was sick, so he cried and called a doctor, but the doctor ended up in big trouble.

Nianxi lost face.

From then on, even if she wanted sweets, she only dared to taste a little and not eat too much.

Close friends from childhood always have countless negative stories about each other.

Zhou Yanli said innocently, "I just want to kindly remind my sister."

The two of them shared their past silly stories, and it really felt like they were going back in time.

When I came out of Panlou, I happened to meet another group of people walking out. The group in front was holding a person, and they were following behind him like stars holding the moon.

Nian Xi and the other man did not want to engage in a confrontation, so they naturally moved aside and waited for the group of people to pass.

Unexpectedly, the leader stopped on his own accord.

A pair of deep eyes met Nianxi's gaze.

Lu Wensheng was wearing a golden crown today, and the long gown on his body was different from the ordinary clothes she had seen before. There were dark patterns on the dark satin, making him look even more noble and dignified.

Dr. Tea had lifted the curtain early, and a breeze blew in from outside, blowing the green silk ribbon on his cuffs. He still looked at her quietly with those calm eyes.

Across the entire lobby of Pan Building, Nian Xi bowed slightly to him.

There seemed to be a smile in his eyes, and he nodded at her, then he started walking again, and a group of people followed him out.

"Sister, do you know Uncle Lu?" Zhou Yanli raised his eyes and looked at the man's back. There was a faint smile on his face, but his aura was full of coldness.

"uncle?"

Zhou Yanli said calmly, "He called me aunt and sister-in-law."

Nianxi then remembered that Zhou Yanli's uncle was Lu Wensheng's second brother, and the two were indeed of different generations. But when she suddenly heard Yanli calling him uncle, it just felt like Lu Huai calling Gu Ci uncle, which was a bit absurd.

"Sister, do you know Lu Huai?"

Zhou Yanli said casually, "He is Uncle Lu's only son and is very much loved at home."

Nian Xi glanced at Zhou Yanli calmly, "Not only do I know, I also invited Lu Huai to have tea and snacks in the shop."

Zhou Yanli was slightly stunned. He knew he had said something wrong. He did not dare to mention the Lu family father and son again. He asked again, "Sister, are you going back? I'll take you there."

Lu Wensheng sat in the spacious carriage and looked out. The graceful girl and the handsome man, just looking at their backs, both made people feel beautiful.

The young man seemed to have irritated her. He tilted his head to the side when he spoke and was very cautious in everything he did.

Lu Wensheng chuckled.

Today she was wearing a brocade double-breasted gown with a cloud-like pattern and a crimson swirling skirt. Her fair complexion looked gorgeous in this outfit, and her presence was graceful.

Like an orchid in winter.

Lu Wensheng suddenly tilted his head and coughed twice. Every winter, he would always have a cough, and sometimes his throat would itch and he couldn't help it. If he encountered a cold, it would be even worse.

"My dear, it's windy today, you should lower the curtains." The attendant gently advised, "Your illness will be cured."

Lu Wensheng held back for a while, waiting for the cough to subside before he leaned against the wall of the car and gently closed his eyes.

The attendant understood and lowered the windproof curtain inside the carriage.

The carriage fell silent.
