For some reason, she felt inexplicably sad.
They once sat at this very table, joyfully celebrating that their family had finally moved to a new home and left the small town.
She is also grateful to have an older sister who can support her.
I don't know when it started, but everything began to change.
It's still the same table, still the same people, but the feeling has changed.
Yan's mother hurriedly stood up, took a picture of the kitchen, took out bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard, and then turned back to place them in front of Yan Li.
"Let's eat."
Before anyone knew it, Xiao Ran had returned to the table and was sitting next to Yan Xici.
Without saying anything, he simply picked up his chopsticks and placed the pork ribs, Yan Xici's favorite food, on her plate.
Yan Li suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
He used to sit next to me like this, serving me food like this.
People are always like this; they only know how to cherish something after they've lost it.
You only know regret when you lose it.
But it was all too late.
Just like Yan Li now.
She lowered her head, her eyes scanning back and forth between the dishes on the table, trying to use this gesture to cover up the pain in her heart.
"Let me make it clear beforehand, I came back today just to see my parents."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at her father.
"Dad, I actually heard your argument just now."
Yan's father's brow twitched.
Some people don't know what to say.
"It's alright, Dad. Xiao Ran is actually a good person. Entrusting Xi Ci to him will put everyone at ease."
He had taken care of her for three years in his place, and perhaps no man in the world understood Yan Xici as well as Xiao Ran.
Thinking about it this way, it might not be such a bad thing after all.
The atmosphere fell silent once again.
Everyone was filled with shock.
Especially Yan Xici.
What does this mean?
Yan Li pointed to her body and looked at Xiao Ran with a serious expression.
"I have a bad temper and can be impulsive at times. I am deeply sorry for what happened before."
His tone was as crisp and efficient as ever.
After saying that, he stood up and bowed to the little man.
After a month-long struggle, she was exhausted both physically and mentally, and gradually came to understand some things.
In fact, all she ever wanted was for someone to stand up for her and speak the truth.
My wish has now come true.
My dad asked, "Have you thought about Yan Li?"
It made the tension that had been building up inside her suddenly dissipate.
Along with that, all the grievances and resentment in my heart also vanished.
Thinking about it carefully, I realized that I had been with Xiao Ran for seven years.
He had been good to her, but their relationship deteriorated from mutual support to mutual misunderstanding, leaving her helpless.
Everyone was shocked by Yan Li's bow.
Especially Xiao Ran.
She actually bowed and apologized to me?
It's good to know that Yan Li is an extremely proud person; she would never bow, let alone apologize.
But now, she actually lowered her head?
Not only Yan Xici and Xiao Ran, but even Yan's mother didn't expect this!
This is truly astonishing.
When Yan Li raised her head again, her eyes were already red.
She sniffed. "Take good care of Xi Ci. She's a good girl. I watched her grow up, even though I didn't take good care of her. But I went through it all."
After all, she was only twenty-four years old, just four years older than her.
She was probably afraid that people would see her tears.
She turned around abruptly.
Her voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly. "Never mind, you guys eat. I'll be going now."
After saying that, he walked towards the door without hesitation.
Then they quickly fled the house.
Only then did he reach out and touch the tears on his face.
Actually, she really mustered up the courage to come in.
I even had the idea of having a meal with them.
But now it seems that I was overthinking things.
Yan's father was stunned for a long time before he finally spoke, "Why...why did they leave again?"
Both are equally dear to her. Yan Li is just divorced; she hasn't done anything to wrong Xiao Ran. There's no need for her to hide like this.
They are all his daughters, and he loves them all.
"Sigh..." Aunt Yan sighed helplessly.
Yan Li quickly went downstairs in her lambskin high heels.
The weather is great today, with not a cloud in the sky. The azure sky looks as if it has been washed clean.
I still feel a little sad, but compared to before, I feel more at ease.
........
Inside the house, the family of four sat at the table, and no one spoke.
Yan Xici was stunned for a long time and couldn't say a word. It took her a full minute to react before she stood up.
Then he quickly headed towards the balcony.
She didn't mean to try to keep her; she just wanted to see her one more time.
It's worth noting that Yan Li was always the one most opposed to the two of them being together.
But today, she actually apologized to Xiao Ran.
This was a scene that had appeared repeatedly in her dreams countless times.
Unexpectedly, it actually became a reality.
Unfortunately, Yan Li has long since disappeared.
Looking up, there is a vast expanse of blue sky.
"Your sister is gone?" Yan's mother asked.
"Let's go."
Perhaps it reminded her of a time when she was bullied as a child, and how her sister fought back and got her face scratched, but still tried to comfort herself.
