"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die... How could things have turned out like this? Oh my god..."
Once out of Tang Yanyan's sight, Xia Yuxin placed the teacup on the table, pressed her delicate body tightly against the wall, and seemed completely exhausted. She kept patting her chest, as if only in this way could she breathe more easily.
Some past events that Xia Yuxin thought she had long forgotten were reopened at this moment.
Xia Che was indeed sick at the time. He had a high fever for several days in a row, so he didn't have time to inform Tang Yanyan before he fell ill.
Because he didn't want to infect others, Xia Che lived in a small courtyard with only a few nannies who took care of him, besides himself.
Until that day comes.
Xia Yuxin found herself feeling dizzy and her eyelids burning hot in the early hours of the morning. She immediately thought of Xia Che, who had fallen ill, and promptly took her temperature. The result was as expected...
She also developed a high fever.
It seemed to be a flu-like virus after all. Just as the family was about to isolate Xia Yuxin again, she refused.
—How can we waste so much manpower and resources just because of one person's fever? Who knows who will be the next to fall ill? Does that mean we have to isolate everyone who falls ill? Even if the Xia family has a lot of empty rooms, we can't possibly give everyone a small courtyard, can we?
Therefore, Xia Yuxin righteously and firmly proposed that she should be quarantined together with Xia Che.
This request seemed reasonable to the adults. The two were siblings, both were ill, and Xia Che's small courtyard had many empty rooms.
Therefore, while the elders of the Xia family were impressed by Xia Yuxin's growth, they readily agreed to the other party's request.
But the adults never imagined that Xia Yuxin had ulterior motives.
"My brother is sick, my brother can't move his body, my brother's face is red from a high fever, my brother can only let others do whatever they want to him..."
Just thinking about that scene made Xia Yuxin's already feverish body burn even hotter, and her mouth watered.
How could we not seize such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
If you miss it, you'll regret it so much!
What a waste!
The thought of her usually cold older brother lying in bed with a high fever, unable to resist and at her mercy, made Xia Yuxin's mouth water.
Being sick is a very frustrating thing for children, because it means that their health is temporarily restricted and they can't go out and play freely for several days. It's something that makes other children shudder.
This time, however, Xia Yuxin was genuinely grateful for the arrival of the illness.
This gave her the opportunity to spend time with Xia Che.
Maybe I can take this opportunity to get closer to my older brother...
Xia Yuxin was happily thinking about it, but when she successfully moved into Xia Che's courtyard according to the plan, she realized that her beautiful fantasy was just that—fantasy—and was shattered in the face of reality.
—To prevent cross-infection, Xia Che's room and Xia Yuxin's room were far apart.
They did live together, but their rooms were separate, so it was practically the same as not living together at all.
Now, Xia Yuxin can't even see Xia Che's face. Every day, she can only look at Xia Che's room from afar through the window. At such a young age, she already understands what the pain of unrequited love is.
Until that day comes.
"Xia Che...Xia Che!"
Xia Yuxin, who was struggling to lean on the windowsill to see if she could see her older brother from this angle, was startled by the sudden shout.
"Who is it... Huh? Tang Yanyan?"
Xia Yuxin saw the chubby figure and her brows furrowed immediately.
She hated this woman.
Since she came to his house, his older brother has become a completely different person. He doesn't even want his own friends anymore and spends all his time around Tang Yanyan.
Xia Che wasn't like this before.
As the eldest son of the Xia family, Xia Che has many strange and fun ideas every day. These two factors combined make him a well-known king of children.
It was always the other kids who fawned over Xia Che; when had Xia Yuxin ever seen her older brother fawn over anyone else?
Not to mention, they might neglect their other friends because they want to hang out with certain people...
Xia Yuxin had never seen Xia Che do anything so humiliating!
But Tang Yanyan's arrival changed everything.
That damn fat woman...
What kind of magic does he possess?
Ever since she arrived, her brother, who was like the sun in her heart, has been deceived by her. He now revolves around her all day long, unlike the brother who was aloof and indifferent to her...
He has such a proactive side?
It turns out that my brother wasn't a cold, aloof moon; he just never chose to express his passion to himself.
Upon realizing this, Xia Yuxin was overwhelmed by a series of indescribable emotions, so intense that she could hardly breathe.
Darkness, resentment, bitterness...
Young Xia Yuxin was unaware that this intense and complex emotion was called jealousy.
All she knew was that she couldn't let Tang Yanyan continue like this. Her brother could only belong to her alone, and anyone who tried to take her brother away would be Xia Yuxin's enemy!
so……
Then the things that Tang Yanyan experienced later happened.
"...I had completely forgotten about this. So...so the culprit who made Tang Yanyan hate my brother was actually me?"
Xia Yuxin clutched her head, feeling her vision blurring.
After her memory faded, Xia Yuxin was completely numb.
What should we do?
A moment of impulse in childhood has ultimately led to this misunderstanding that has lasted for more than a decade.
This even led to Tang Yanyan's complete transformation, turning her into a woman even more outstanding than herself.
The only saving grace is that Tang Yanyan doesn't want to continue fulfilling the marriage agreement.
Otherwise, Xia Yuxin wouldn't really have much confidence if she had to compete with such an outstanding person.
"No! This isn't the time to think about this, ugh...you're so dense, come up with a solution!"
Xia Yuxin's thoughts drifted away like a kite with its string detached, wandering into some strange and wonderful realms.
The problem now isn't about who my brother will marry in the future, but how to get Tang Yanyan to stay in Jiang City a little longer.
With the help of the Tang family, we managed to protect my brother's life.
This is the most important thing!
"Tang Yanyan now only feels hatred towards her brother. This kind of humiliation... I'm afraid anyone would feel the same way, right? If it's just canceling the engagement, wouldn't you feel that this level of revenge isn't enough?"
Xia Yuxin is a very empathetic person, and she tried to put herself in that role.
