"Hmm." Mr. Xiao's cool voice gave Mrs. Xiao great affirmation.
"So he knew..." Madam Xiao lowered her voice and asked cautiously, "Did you do it?"
"He doesn't know, and he still doesn't know that I'm the one who found him," Mr. Xiao said calmly.
"Then bring him back!" Madam Xiao sighed. "Hurry up and bring him back; my son is about to collapse."
She didn't support their being together, but seeing her son in this state broke her heart. Besides, her husband had done that to him first, and now that he was alive, she really shouldn't do anything more.
…
When Yan Cangyue appeared, he had been bandaged, and then he appeared in front of Xiao Shuyu along with Madam Xiao.
Seeing the extremely haggard young man, Yan Cangyue felt extremely distressed. Madam Xiao glanced at him, and finally chose to leave.
The moment her son saw him, he seemed to come alive again. Madam Xiao sighed helplessly and said, "So be it."
As soon as Madam Xiao left, Mr. Xiao went into the room.
Yan Cangyue looked at the man in front of him and said softly, "Uncle...didn't you tell Shuyu?"
Xiao Shuyu looked confused: "What did you say?"
Mr. Xiao answered directly: "No, Wan Ge can't tell him, so that his performance will be more authentic."
Although he wanted to tell his son about his suffering several times, he hardened his heart to move his wife. Since it was the path his child had chosen, some hardship was necessary.
"What's going on? What happened? What does Wan Ge have to do with this?" Xiao Shuyu was completely bewildered.
Mr. Xiao frankly admitted that a few months ago, when he was caught in the middle between his child and wife, he received a call from Wan Ge. It was Wan Ge who gave him the idea that Yan Cangyue was actually fine; he hadn't fallen into the sea or been injured.
The video was made by Wan Ge, as was the news report. Only the two of them received the news; all the views and comments were fake.
Yan Cangyue was simply hiding; everything he did was for his wife's benefit.
Xiao Shuyu didn't think it was excessive; she just felt a joy of something lost and then regained. And her mother was willing to accept Yan Cangyue now—that was wonderful.
It would be difficult to completely change Madam Xiao's mind, but at least she no longer opposed them. Although she still didn't like Yan Cangyue very much, she wasn't like before, and she didn't force them to separate.
After spending quite some time together, Mrs. Xiao discovered that things might not be as bad as she had imagined.
To avoid impacting the Xiao family, Yan Cangyue did not choose to go public. To others, they were just good brothers, but their relatives and friends already knew that they were lovers.
…
"Thank you." At Wan Ge's wedding banquet, Xiao Shuyu raised his glass and said thank you.
"You're welcome." Wan Ge said with a faint smile. She had just finished clinking glasses when she was pulled away.
Chu Mu'en didn't say anything, just looked at her like that, as if she was extremely aggrieved.
Although she later learned that the man didn't love her wife, she never forgot that they had been engaged! She simply wouldn't allow herself to get too close to that man.
Madam Xiao and Madam Chu stood together, looking at the four children, and for some reason felt that something was off.

①I think I can do anything for you.
②I was just a step away from you, but you took a step toward me.
③I think the one I've always loved is you.

This story is now finished. I had thought about whether or not to write it before. But I decided to write it because I had read so many extreme opinions.
In reality, whether it's a relationship between people of the same sex or between men and women, it's rare to find the idyllic, lifelong commitment depicted in novels. I hope everyone can approach everything rationally and respect others' feelings. Don't become too obsessed, but don't be too resistant either.
