He hesitated for a moment, then tilted his head back and kissed Ji Che lightly on the lips.
Ji Che immediately raised the corner of his mouth, lowered his head and kissed Xiao Yi in response, praising, "Xiao Yi is awesome."
Xiao Yi was embarrassed and said, "Can you please stop coaxing me with this childish tone?"
"My dad said that my wife should be coaxed and pampered like a child."
Ji Che's expression was extremely serious.
Xiao Yi finally understood why Ji Che's mother was so simple-minded. It turned out that she was spoiled by Ji Che's father.
Ji Che saw what was on Xiao Yi's face and said to him with a smile, "My dad is almost twelve years older than my mom."
"My mother used to be a rich lady, but her family fell into poverty and she was sold to my father as a child bride."
"Ever since my mom came to my dad, he's been treating her like his wife. He never lets her do anything, and he even has more than ten people waiting on her. She's never had to endure any hardship."
"My mother was protected so well by my father since she was a child that she didn't know the evil of human nature, let alone the darkness of the world."
"To my mother, everyone in this world is a good person. If they become bad, they must be unable to survive, so they become bad people."
"Because my mother had never come into contact with a truly bad person, and my father held a prominent position, the people surrounding her were all people who flattered her, so she mistakenly believed that the world was all bright."
"After my dad fell ill, she panicked and was at a loss. She lay on him and cried like a child."
Having said this, Ji Che suddenly stopped and his expression became very uncomfortable.
Xiao Yi, who was sitting on the sink, saw Ji Che was in such pain, and he also felt uncomfortable.
Ji Che took a trembling breath and calmed down his emotions. He smiled a bit forcedly and bitterly and said, "After my father passed away, I was the first one to be mean to my mother, so she is very afraid of me."
Xiao Yi could see that Ji Che was more painful than anyone else when he said this.
"I didn't mean to be mean to her. I was just worried that she was too innocent and could be easily manipulated."
"I was too weak at that time and couldn't protect her. I was also anxious, so I got a bit angry."
Ji Che's eyes turned red and his voice was choked.
"The moment my father fell seriously ill and fell into a coma, I felt... I felt like the sky was falling."
"It was my eldest sister. She grabbed my shoulders and told me that it would be okay and that no matter what happened, I would always be there for her."
"The next day, she chose a marriage alliance and married the dandy boy she hated most in her life."
"Xiao Yi, am I... am I useless?"
Ji Che's tears fell and dripped onto Xiao Yi's legs.
Xiao Yi immediately replied, "You supported the entire Ji family at the age of fourteen, how can you be useless?"
Xiao Yi's affirmation without any hesitation made Ji Che's throat choke.
He hugged Xiao Yi who was sitting on the sink, buried his head in the crook of Xiao Yi's neck, and sniffed hard.
He had never told these thoughts to anyone before, because he was afraid that his cowardice would be discovered by others and the Ji family would be doomed.
During the time when his father was seriously ill, he dreamed every day that his father had recovered, nothing happened at home, and there were no problems in the company.
But every time he woke up, he still saw his father lying on the bed with tubes inserted, becoming increasingly thin and motionless.
On the day his father passed away, he had a moment of clarity, tears streaming from his sunken eye sockets. He held his hand tightly, "Xiao Che, after Dad left, you're the only man left in the family. You must... cough cough... protect your mother and elder sister."
"Except for your Uncle Xu, Uncle Wang, and Yan Han, you can't trust anyone else in this family."
"I'm sorry, Dad, cough cough... Dad can only accompany you up to this point. From now on, you will have to work hard."
"Your mother...she has never suffered any hardship in her life, and she doesn't know how dangerous the world is. You must...take good care of her."
"If you have any problems, just...talk to your eldest sister. She knows what to do."
His father told him a lot of things that day, and he still remembers them clearly.
Because he remembered it so clearly, the burden on him became heavier and heavier, almost crushing him.
Xiao Yi, who was sitting on the sink and letting Ji Che hold him, opened his arms and hugged Ji Che.
He had inquired about Ji Che's affairs, but all he heard was that he was cruel and ruthless, so he had a preconceived notion that Ji Che was a cold-blooded and heartless person.
But the truth is, Ji Che is fragile, like a child who has been suppressed for a long time, and no one knows his pain.
"Would you like your man to be a man instead of crying?"
Ji Che, who was holding Xiao Yi and burying his head in the crook of Xiao Yi's neck, sniffed and asked.
"Won't."
Whether it is Ji Che or Xiao Cheng, they have one thing in common: they love to cry.
If he hated it, we wouldn't have this relationship now.
He finally understood why Ji Che asked him if he was happy when he became Xiao Cheng when he regained his memory without Xiao Cheng's memory.
When he answered happily, Ji Che smiled, a little childishly.
Ji Che hugged Xiao Yi tightly, "I'm younger than you, do you think I'm like a child?"
"Won't."
Xiao Yi's answer was still affirmative.
"Then, if you meet a man more handsome than me in the future, will you fall in love with someone else?"
"You are younger than me, shouldn't I be the one asking you this?"
"I won't. I only want you."
Ji Che quickly let go of Xiao Yi, stood up straight and swore to the sky, "If I, Ji Che, fall in love with someone else and don't want Xiao Yi anymore, I will die a miserable death."
Xiao Yi, who was sitting on the sink, looked up at Ji Che and swore seriously, without any doubt.
After Ji Che became Xiao Cheng, he still fell in love with him at first sight, so how could he lie to him?
