Upon hearing Yan Keyi's words, Jiang Ning froze on the spot.
She stopped searching for the brooch because she felt that the past was the past, and she was afraid that the past would affect Yan Keyi. Although Yan Keyi wouldn't doubt her, it didn't mean that she could make Yan Keyi sad.
But Yan Keyi's words really touched Jiang Ning deeply.
"Why isn't my sister saying anything? Is she captivated by me?"
Seeing Jiang Ningjing staring at her quietly, Yan Keyi smiled and said those words.
Even before the Lunar New Year, Yan Keyi had already been considering Jiang Ning's birthday gift. After learning about this old story from Yang Xingsui, Yan Keyi had been investigating it.
Because it happened a long time ago, and Yan Keyi was busy with her senior year of high school at the time, the search was very difficult.
With Jiang Ning's birthday getting closer and closer, Yan Keyi was actually quite worried that she wouldn't be able to find him.
After the college entrance examination, Yan Keyi thought that if she really couldn't find a gift, she would have to prepare other gifts.
But after all that effort, Yan Keyi really didn't want to give up. Fortunately, through a series of unexpected events, she finally found the buyer.
However, when Yan Keyi went to find her, she had no intention of selling or reselling the brooch because she genuinely treasured it as a collectible.
It was only after Yan Keyi visited him several times that she finally persuaded the buyer.
Fortunately, Yan Keyi successfully delivered the gift, and Jiang Ning liked it very much.
Although Yan Keyi didn't mention the hardships involved, Jiang Ning had tried to find out, so she knew that achieving this was not easy.
That's why she stared at Yan Keyi in a daze, and that's why she really liked Yan Keyi's gift.
But Yan Keyi didn't want to see Jiang Ning unhappy, much less guilty. That's why she deliberately said those things to make her laugh. And Jiang Ning did indeed laugh as she wished.
"Yiyi, I love you."
After laughing, Jiang Ning suddenly hugged Yan Keyi.
Yan Keyi was startled when she was suddenly hugged. But after hearing her words, she hugged her back and gently nuzzled her head against Jiang Ning's neck.
This is her beloved, the person she wants to spend her life with and protect. She also protects him in return, so how could she not be affectionate?
Touching Yan Keyi's head, as her hair tangled together, something seemed to have changed.
"Sister, I love you very much. From now on, we will always be by each other's side."
Jiang Ning has always been very good to her, and Yan Keyi has always known this. However, she has always felt that there is still a barrier between Jiang Ning and her.
Although she wasn't possessive enough to demand that Jiang Ning tell her everything—after all, a certain level of trust is necessary in a relationship—Yan Keyi still hoped that Jiang Ning could rely on her a little more, just as she relied on him.
Now, Yan Keyi felt as if something had been unlocked in Jiang Ning's heart.
Yan Keyi loves Jiang Ning, but not on the premise that Jiang Ning loves her, so she loves her too. Rather, it is because she originally loved Jiang Ning and was originally attracted to her, so she loves her.
Jiang Ning was deeply moved because he knew this.
In the beginning of her relationship with Yan Keyi, Jiang Ning was the one who was always giving. She asked for nothing in return; she only wanted to see Yan Keyi happy. She gave Yan Keyi everything she could, and she thought she had been good enough to her.
But that might not be the kind of love Yan Keyi wants.
Jiang Ning always tells Yan Keyi that she doesn't need to do anything, but if she wants to achieve something, Jiang Ning will do his best for her.
It seems that Jiang Ning is truly an impeccable lover.
But Yan Keyi showed her through her actions that she could not only love others, but also be loved.
She can love without reservation, and be loved without restraint.
It was at this moment that Jiang Ning finally understood why Yang Xingsui and Qin Yiran hadn't supported his feelings for Yan Keyi in the first place.
Perhaps it was precisely because they realized that Jiang Ning's love was somewhat morbid.
It can't be said that Jiang Ning didn't love her, but this relationship wasn't healthy.
Therefore, they do not support it.
"Yiyi, will you come with me to my next follow-up appointment?"
As Jiang Ning hugged himself and rubbed his hair without making a sound, Yan Keyi remained silent as well.
Although Jiang Ning seemed to be in a very stable emotional state, she rarely saw Jiang Ning blush.
But Yan Keyi knew that it wasn't because Jiang Ning was genuinely reserved, but because she was hiding many things on her mind. Especially at times like this, she could guess that Jiang Ning was definitely thinking about something, which was why she hadn't spoken.
So Yan Keyi just leaned on Jiang Ning's shoulder without saying a word.
Hearing Jiang Ning's voice, Yan Keyi was also taken aback.
Although Jiang Ning had secretly added Qu Yiling's contact information, he was completely unaware that he was in contact with Qu Yiling.
This is a hurdle that Jiangning can't overcome for the time being, so Yan Keyi has never forced it.
Now that Jiang Ning has taken the initiative to ask her to accompany him to his follow-up appointment, does this mean that Jiang Ning has truly opened up to her?
“Okay, I’d definitely like to go with my sister.”
Yan Keyi seriously agreed. She thought for a moment when it had been since her last follow-up appointment.
Since Jiangning's condition is relatively stable, he goes for a follow-up visit about once every three months. If you think about it carefully, it's actually about right.
That night, as the two slept in each other's arms, Jiang Ning took the initiative to tell Yan Keyi many things about his youth.
In the past, people in Jiangning didn't really talk about those kinds of things.
"However, I need to correct something. My sister is still young. What do you mean by 'young'? And goodnight, sister."
When it was time to rest, Yan Keyi said the same thing.
Jiang Ning was also taken aback when he heard Yan Keyi say that.
Yes, when you get used to looking at the world with a pessimistic perspective, you feel like the happy times of the past are a long, long time ago. But it turns out, you're still young.
"Yes, Yiyi is right. Good night, see you tomorrow."
Jiang Ning gently kissed Yan Keyi's forehead, watched as Yan Keyi closed her eyes, and then closed his own eyes to prepare for sleep.
Hearing Jiang Ning's breathing slow down, Yan Keyi secretly opened one eye to peek. Seeing that Jiang Ning was truly asleep, she closed her eyes again and continued to sleep. But before falling asleep, she snuggled closer to Jiang Ning.
Even when she was already delirious, Jiang Ning would hold her firmly in his arms.
