Chang Le was speechless. He's a public figure, after all; can't he at least behave himself?
"Don't do things like that again. Protect yourself first."
Chang Le meant that he should think things through before acting and not act impulsively, but Hua Xiange misunderstood.
"So you think I'm just causing you trouble, that I'm useless because I can't even protect myself?" Hua Xiange suddenly turned to look at her. "You still think I can't help you at all?"
Chang Le: ?
ha?
“You…” Chang Le carefully considered her words, “You’re overthinking it.”
Hua Anning, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but chuckle.
Once you say that, no matter who says it or when, you're doomed.
"Okay, I was being nosy. I really can't help you. I'm just a useless person. I was overthinking things." Hua Xiange turned her head back and stopped talking.
Chang Le: ...
It seems like I expressed myself a bit poorly, but... it's too much trouble, I'm too lazy to explain.
They remained silent the entire way. Upon arriving at the Hua family manor, Hua Xiange snorted coldly, slammed the car door shut, and drove off.
Chang Le looked completely bewildered.
Hua Anning sighed and said:
"Lele, I'm not trying to morally blackmail you, but your second brother is indeed the one who cares about you the most and whose feelings for you are the purest."
He was the one who argued the most with you, the one who yelled the most, and the one who cursed you the most. But during the time you were in a coma, he traveled all over the world to find famous doctors for you. He often went to the hospital and would stay outside your ward all night.
A while ago, he was the first to stand up and say he wanted to go to the Ninth District, but he was stopped by his older brother as soon as he left home.
I admit that my second brother isn't always the smartest, but his feelings for you are truly unbiased and without any ulterior motives.
Chang Le nodded: "I know."
When they were children, she and Hua Xiange were the closest. Hua Qingyun was a workaholic, Hua Yuezhi was rarely home, Hua Lanshi rarely went out, and Hua Wuyan was a blockhead. Only Hua Xiange was the most vibrant and alive person.
Hua Xiange was a woman of true feelings; back then, he was the only one who steadfastly opposed sealing her memories. Chang Le remembered. It's just that he truly lacked the ability; he had the will but not the power.
Later, the two had the fiercest arguments, completely broke up, and would hurl insults at each other whenever they met, the insults being particularly vicious.
But only Hua Xiange, no matter how much he scolded her, would never say, "Hua Changle, you weren't like this before." He never forgot that among those who changed her were them.
Everyone else felt guilty and distant towards her during that period of madness, except for Hua Xiange, who felt indignant at seeing her fall into depravity.
That's what the rational Hua Qingyun, the obedient Hua Yuezhi, the weak Hua Lanshi, and the self-centered Hua Wuyan couldn't or wouldn't express.
