Lin Wanxing knew that her second brother's legs would ache for a while on cloudy or rainy days.
He noticed that his second brother's hands were constantly rubbing his legs, and he guessed that the weather might change soon.
"Second brother, let me massage your legs again." Lin Wanxing felt sorry for Shen Huai'an, and it was precisely because of this pity that she gave Shen Huai'an the opportunity.
"Xingxing, your second brother really knows he was wrong. Can you forgive him?" He grabbed Lin Wanxing's hand, his eyes filled with self-reproach and guilt.
"Don't worry, Second Brother will listen to you and cancel our wedding. As long as my Xingxing is happy, I don't care about anything else."
The more he yielded and the more sincerely he gazed at Lin Wanxing, the more heartbroken Lin Wanxing felt.
He squatted down and carefully massaged Shen Huai'an's calves. He had heard that effective massage could promote blood circulation and thus relieve pain. Lin Wanxing had subscribed to an account of an old Chinese medicine doctor and often watched his videos, so he also knew a little bit about acupressure techniques.
He genuinely liked Shen Huai'an, really liked him, but he still couldn't forgive his second brother for everything he did today.
Lin Wanxing carefully massaged him; he had seen many patients with leg injuries receive massages in this way.
He didn't say he forgave Shen Huai'an, but the matter was ultimately not over; they had only reconciled a little bit.
"Second brother, it looks like it's going to rain tomorrow, you should wear more clothes!" Lin Wanxing knelt down beside Shen Huai'an and massaged his legs with all his heart. He cared a lot about Shen Huai'an.
Shen Huai'an felt the soft little hands gently massaging his legs, and he felt extremely comfortable. The little hands were very soft, and he didn't feel any pain even when they squeezed him hard; he only felt incredibly comfortable.
"Star, it's so good to have you by my side. Only you would treat me so well."
Shen Huai'an lowered his head and spoke earnestly to Lin Wanxing. Lin Wanxing looked up, her pure eyes shining brightly under the light. "Because you're good to me too, Second Brother. You're the only person besides my mother who's good to me. Really, in this world, I'm afraid only someone like you can treat Xingxing like this."
“I know that both the Chen family and the old members of the Lin family think I’m not smart enough. My father even wanted to embezzle my mother’s inheritance. If it weren’t for my second brother helping me, my maternal grandfather’s Qingyuan Mountain County would have become my aunt and sister’s.”
"I know my second brother is good to me."
Shen Huai'an breathed a sigh of relief, "Xingxing, it's enough that you understand how good your second brother is to you."
"Second brother, I will respect your wishes from now on. I will definitely cherish you from now on. I truly only love you."
Shen Huai'an reached out and patted Lin Wanxing's head. "My Xingxing isn't stupid, she's just a little slow to react."
Only Shen Huai'an firmly believed that Xingxing wasn't stupid, but simply slow to react.
Lin Wanxing suddenly remembered what Fang Yu had said to her, "Second brother, do you know about Fang Ze's accident?"
"Yes, almost everyone knows about this. I heard that he had his hand chopped off and was beaten so badly that he's barely alive. He's still in the hospital. It's so pitiful!" Shen Huai'an revealed his usual compassionate expression.
"Although we had some grudges against him, he was punished accordingly. He's only a few years older than you, but he suffered such a misfortune. He's so young, with a long road ahead of him. It's pitiful that a perfectly healthy person suddenly became disabled and lost his position as heir."
"But there's always a reason why someone is pitiful. I heard he gambled heavily one night and lost a lot of money. He offended a lot of people outside, so this ending was inevitable. I just feel sorry for him, after all, he's still so young."
When Fang Ze was mentioned, Shen Huai'an's face was full of regret. He seemed to be an elder lamenting the fate of a younger generation.
"So, Second Brother, you really think he's pitiful, right?" Lin Wanxing saw her second brother's expression and felt that this was his most genuine side. He was soft-hearted and always so forgiving. No matter who made a mistake in front of him, her second brother would not do anything. At most, he would punish them a little or simply stay away from them.
No wonder everyone praises my second brother as a gentle and refined gentleman. Everyone in the family praises my second brother, and even outsiders often praise him as a rare and good person.
How could such a person be the way Fang Yu described? Lin Wanxing stared intently at her second brother, feeling that he was truly feeling sorry for Fang Ze.
“Although he did something bad to you, I shouldn’t sympathize with him in principle. But he was punished at the time, and the Fang family sincerely apologized. The reason I pity him is because he will also be crippled in the future, just like me, and will be pointed at and gossiped about by others. Even the Fang family changed their heir in time.”
"I sympathize with him more because I experienced the same treatment back then. When I injured my leg, the Shen family immediately changed their heir and abandoned me. It is because my experience is somewhat similar to Fang Ze's that I sympathize with him. Xingxing, I will not forget what happened to you. Don't blame your second brother for this. Your second brother has always been like this."
Lin Wanxing was always impressed by her second brother's attitude towards life and work. This was the second brother's character and vision, and no one else could ever reach his level.
Lin Wanxing said seriously, "How could I blame you, Second Brother? Fang Ze is so bad, how can he be compared to you? He deserved to end up like this. His experience is completely different from yours. You sympathize with him only because he lost a hand, but he brought it on himself."
"Second brother, you're always so soft-hearted, that's why you empathize with someone like him."
Shen Huai'an looked at Lin Wanxing, then slowly helped her up and sat her down beside him.
