"You lied to me." Guan Jibai stood up suddenly. She knew Yan Xin better than anyone else. Although Yan Xin concealed her emotions very well, her intuition told her that it was not true. "You must be lying to me."
"I didn't." Yan Xin frowned even tighter, looked at her affectionately and sadly, and called out, "Xiaobai."
Guan Jibai bit his lip to stop trembling, "Then will you marry me?"
"I can..." He bit the word "can" so hard that it seemed to break.
Will it?
Of course he would.
He wanted to keep Xiaobai at the top of his heart. From the first time they met, he knew how important this girl was to him. But how could he bear to hurt his beloved for his own sake?
I don’t know how long it took, but Yan Xin’s handsome face was slowly covered with a layer of ice, and his gentle and noble temperament disappeared, replaced by indifference, alienation and a hint of mockery.
"Of course I won't." Yan Xin picked up his coat and the not-so-attractive scarf on it, and said gracefully: "Happy New Year, Xiaobai, I'm very happy to meet you, but you're right, I think we are really not suitable."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Outside, the sky was just beginning to light up, but a heavy snow began to fall. Yan Xin took his coat but didn't put it on. Instead, he tied his scarf around his neck, walked out of the courtyard gate, and stood still in the snow for a long time.
Soon, his hair, nose tip, eyelashes, and shoulders were covered with snow.
Yan Xin turned around and stared at the courtyard covered in snow in a trance. The starlight in his eyes suddenly went out, leaving only endless darkness, which was so depressing that it made his heart ache.
It is said that the long-tailed swallow is a curse, and every generation of long-tailed swallows lives with sin.
From birth to death, he never enjoyed a moment of joy.
He should be thankful that at least he had tasted joy. If his abilities hadn't been inexplicably weakened, he would have known Xiaobai's fate the moment he saw her. He would have been overwhelmed by pain from the first sight. There was no beginning, only an end.
The curse of the long-tailed swallow will never have a beginning.
What awaits them is only the final outcome, final death.
"Tsk tsk... I'm really not jealous of you at all now." Yan Lanting appeared at some point, holding a black umbrella in his hand, standing beside Yan Xin, his eyes full of sympathy.
Yan Xin seemed to have turned into a sculpture, motionless.
Yan Lanting shrugged his shoulders in a self-deprecating manner, and said in a self-deprecating tone, "I originally thought you could grow your hair long, and it looked so good, but now I realize it doesn't look good at all, it's awful."
After a long while, Yan Xin raised his pale lips slightly and said coldly, "You are not jealous because I can grow long hair, but because I am the one with long hair that is favored by grandfather. Because all of you put together cannot compare to me, so you are jealous."
Although the five brothers have a big age gap, they have been fighting each other since childhood and dislike each other. But all this changed because of the appearance of Yan Xin.
He single-handedly changed the relationship between the five brothers.
This proves the saying that brothers are united by their nephews.
"Tsk! Don't say it!" Yan Lanting said with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "It would be so embarrassing to say it out loud. My nephew, you have such a mean mouth."
This time, Yan Xin did not argue with him.
He continued to stare blankly at the courtyard, the snow on his body growing thicker and thicker. Yan Lanting finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he held up the umbrella over Yan Xin's head, with most of his body exposed.
