After uttering a harsh remark, he slammed the door and left.
Watching her sister's retreating figure, the girl felt particularly sad. On one side was her brother-in-law, and on the other was her sister. To be honest, she didn't want to hurt either of them, and she felt helpless about how things had come to this point.
A feeling of exhaustion and powerlessness quickly swept over my body, to the point that I didn't even have the strength to stand up.
She took a deep breath, her face turning slightly pale.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Ran gently rubbed her head with heartache. "It's okay, that's just how your sister is. She has a bad temper. She'll be fine after a couple of days of calming down. Don't take it to heart."
He knew Yan Li well; she was the kind of person with a bad temper, a strong desire for control, always felt that she had given a lot, and was also very concerned about saving face.
But she actually cares a lot about her younger sister.
The girl looked up at him, and in the instant their eyes met, she clearly saw the concern in Xiao Yan's eyes.
Strangely enough, in that instant, an indescribable warmth surged from my chest to my limbs and bones.
"Brother, thank you," she said earnestly, emphasizing each word.
Thank you to him for not treating me as a burden to be thrown away.
Thank you for protecting me without hesitation when I was helpless.
Thank you for letting me experience what it feels like to be protected for the first time.
Xiao Ran sighed and gently patted her shoulder. "Alright, don't think too much about it. Just stay put. If you don't want to leave, then don't. Don't overthink it."

It's best to keep it under your own nose.
"Brother, I want to go upstairs." The girl lowered her head, her voice muffled.
After this farce, she felt her mind was in a mess and all she wanted to do was go back and rest.
She felt there were some issues she needed to think about carefully.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately squatted down in front of the girl and said, "Come on, I'll carry you on my back."
Her leg wasn't healed yet, so I decided to carry her up myself.
The girl didn't refuse and skillfully climbed onto Xiao Ran's back, her head involuntarily resting against it.
Perhaps it was Yan Li's words that were too cold, or perhaps it was her own bad mood, but at this moment, the girl lying on Xiao Ran's back felt an unprecedented warmth and security.
For some inexplicable reason, I suddenly had the urge to lean against it for the rest of my life.
