On the plane
Aren't you going to ask me anything?
Lan Jingyan realized that she had just lost control and might have frightened Yan Xiluo.
Moreover, Yan Xiluo didn't ask too many questions, but silently stayed with him.
"What you want to say, you'll say it yourself without me asking. I respect you and don't want you to feel bad."
Although she didn't know exactly what had happened, he wouldn't ask any more questions as long as he didn't want to talk about it.
She was very uneasy, and the first thing she had to do when she got back was to go to the hospital to check on Yan Yuze's condition.
"Your third brother's ex-girlfriend is back."
Lan Jingyan spoke calmly, without any emotion at the moment, and he didn't want to mention that person's name.
The four brothers, no matter how much they joke around, are truly loyal to each other when something happens, and they all genuinely protect each other's brothers. That's why they can be so irrational and unable to control their emotions.
"Hmm... Are you coming back to see Third Brother?"
His ex-girlfriend? So it's because of her that Third Brother is acting this way? This is so different from his usual personality...
He's usually lively, cheerful, and easygoing; you'd never guess he hid his true feelings so deeply. It turns out it was all a facade, a protective layer...
She couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache...
"Yes. She was the one who pursued your third brother. She pestered him for three months, and after she got him, she left without saying a word."
Lan Jingyan's voice was a little hoarse, perhaps because she felt sorry for Yan Yuze.
"Your third brother went crazy looking for her. We used all our connections, but we couldn't find a single trace of her. He waited outside her house for three days and three nights, but she didn't show up. He collapsed from exhaustion. She blocked all of your third brother's contact methods and disappeared completely for two years. Then, one day the year before last, she debuted as a star. Only then did we slowly start to hear some news about her. But your third brother kept numbing himself with work to get through it. He never expected that she would reappear."
Lan Jingyan tried his best to remain calm as he spoke these words, afraid that his emotional outburst would frighten Yan Xiluo.
"Without her, your third brother almost died. He spent his days smoking and drinking, becoming depressed, locking himself in his room and refusing to eat or drink. He lost case after case, his mind completely elsewhere. We knew he needed time and space to process it, so we didn't disturb him. Later, we noticed something was wrong; he hadn't come out for a long time. We broke down the door and found him on the verge of death. We rushed him to the hospital, and that's how he survived. After that incident, his stomach started acting up. He loves spicy food, and eating too much would trigger an attack. We put our work aside to help him through that time and even got him a psychologist. That's when he started to improve and gradually returned to normal work..."
Lan Jingyan recounted Yan Yuze's past in general terms, but they didn't want to know why that person had so heartlessly abandoned Yan Yuze anymore!
As for how things will develop in the future, it all depends on Yan Yuze's choice.
As brothers, they could only silently support and protect him; they had no way to interfere with his choices.
Yan Xiluo listened quietly. She understood Yan Yuze's pain, even though she couldn't experience it herself...
She couldn't help but snuggle closer to Lan Jingyan.
"Ayan, let's never be apart, okay? Let's stay together forever."
She looked up at his handsome face, his eyes full of genuine affection. She was afraid, afraid that something might happen between them in the future.
"Okay. You're not allowed to slip away without a word, otherwise, I'll find you no matter where you are!"
He was moved. His girl had said what he wanted to hear; in his heart, it was a promise—her promise to him.
The two snuggled together, savoring every moment they spent together...
Z Country
VIP ward in the hospital
At seven o'clock in the morning, the person in the hospital bed rolled their eyes and slowly opened them.
The smell of disinfectant... a hospital bed... an IV drip in his hand... what happened to him?
He looked up, too weak to get up, and found that Li Shaochuan and Su Ruien were both there watching over him.
The image of meeting Jiang Xuening flashed through his mind, then he was drinking, and he couldn't remember anything after that.
"Aze, you're finally awake!"
Su Ruien was overjoyed to see Yan Yuze with his eyes open as soon as he woke up. Yan Yuze had finally woken up!
"What am I doing..."
He was still trying to recall what had happened last night, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't come up with any useful images.
"you……"
He didn't know whether he should mention that person or not...
"You drank too much last night, suffered alcohol poisoning, went into shock, and had a stomach hemorrhage... You passed out after vomiting blood in front of us, it really scared us to death!"
Su Ruien did speak, but he didn't mention that person.
"Oh!"
He chuckled self-deprecatingly. Jiang Xuening, three years had passed, and he was still still infatuated with her. He couldn't bear to hear her call him Aze, for it stirred up a series of memories that pierced his heart with pain.
"You didn't tell my parents, did you? Don't let them know."
He said it calmly, not wanting his parents to worry about him.
"No, after we rescued her, we only told Ayan."
Lan Jingyan had no choice but to tell him that they were brothers and had agreed not to hide anything from each other.
"Does Luo Luo know? She's with A Yan."
At this moment, all he cared about was whether Yan Xiluo knew or not; he was afraid she would worry about him.
"Perhaps they already know? Ayan and the others are on the plane."
He didn't care about anything else at the time, and he didn't think about anything else. All he knew was that he panicked and was scared. His best friend was inside being rescued, and his life was hanging in the balance.
"You're awake? I'll go buy you breakfast."
Hearing the two talking, Li Shaochuan also woke up. Knowing that his stomach was not good, he thought he should quickly buy him some porridge.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work."
He felt guilty; his accident meant suffering for his brothers...
"Don't say anything, focus on getting better first. Don't drink anymore, your body can't take it."
Li Shaochuan had to finish giving him his final instructions before leaving. They were not only good brothers, but also brothers by blood!
"I understand, I won't do it again next time. I barely escaped with my life."
To avoid worrying them, Yan Yuze immediately put on a playful smile and said...
But his heart still aches...it aches terribly...he can't feel the physical discomfort, only the heartache.
"Alright, stop forcing a smile. You don't need to put on a brave face in front of us. Just be yourself."
After finishing his sentence, Li Shaochuan quickly left to buy porridge.
Su Ruien stayed in the hospital room with Yan Yuze.
Yan Yuze was lost in thought, and Su Ruien didn't disturb him, but sat silently...
