Yu Bai rushed into the main room barefoot and his gaze was fixed on the center of the room.
The warm yellow afternoon sunlight shines through the window lattice, outlining two cuddling figures.
Second brother Yu Xia!
And...Song Yan!
At this moment, Song Yan was sitting sideways on a small stool, holding a small pair of silver scissors in his hand, with a focused and gentle expression.
Sitting in front of her was her younger brother Yu Baoer.
Yu Xia bent over and stood aside, holding Yu Baoer's shoulder with one hand and holding a comb in the other, patiently helping Song Yan fix the hair that needed trimming.
Yu Baoer suffers from autism and is extremely resistant to being touched by strangers. Even daily chores like washing and cutting her hair can only be handled by her patient and meticulous second brother Yu Xia.
“Crack, crack—”
The sound of hair cutting was particularly clear in the quiet living room.
Yu Baoer seemed to enjoy this rare moment of intimacy, with a barely perceptible relaxation on her face.
"Song..."
Yu Bai's throat was choked with sobs, and just as he was about to call out, something strange happened!
Yu Baoer, who was originally sitting quietly, seemed to sense something. She suddenly raised her head, and her black and white eyes instantly caught sight of Yu Bai at the door!
The next second, his body twisted excitedly, calling "sister" and struggling to stand up from Yu Xia's control!
"Baoer!"
"careful!"
Yu Xia quickly grabbed her brother's shoulder and stopped him from moving any further.
Song Yan even closed the scissors with a "snap" sound. Her movements were quick and decisive, and it was obvious that she had been prepared just in case.
Even so, this sudden scene still made everyone present break out in a cold sweat!
Yu Bai's heart skipped a beat!
Regret instantly drowned out the joy of reunion.
How could she forget!
Baoer's situation is special and he is very sensitive. I rushed in so rashly and was so excited that I almost disturbed him!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Baoer. It's my fault. I scared you."
Yu Bai stepped forward quickly, his voice very low and soft, full of apology and comfort.
She squatted down and carefully reached out her hand to touch her brother's cheek.
The undisguised heartache and guilt in Yu Bai's eyes at this moment were too obvious, but Yu Baoer did not resist, but just opened her eyes wide and looked at her without blinking.
Looking at his brother's clear eyes, Yu Bai felt a pang of pain in his heart, and the tragic situation of his younger brother being bullied to madness in his previous life instantly flooded his mind.
Almost subconsciously, she reached into her trouser pocket with her right hand.
The feeling of comfort overwhelmed any vigilance.
She took out a crystal core the size of a pigeon egg, emitting a faint, lustrous luster, and stuffed it into her brother's palm without saying anything.
"Bao'er, be good, don't be afraid. Sister will give you something good to play with."
This action made Yu Xia, who had been keeping a close eye on his brother's condition, feel as if his heart was hit by an invisible hammer, and his pupils suddenly constricted!
Crystal core?!
How dare Xiaobai?!
He almost held his breath, and his eyes subconsciously glanced at Song Yan!
However, there was only gentle curiosity on Song Yan's face.
She looked at the shiny object with a soft glow in Yu Baoer's hand and said to Yu Bai with a smile:
"Xiaobai, where did you pick up this beautiful stone? It looks like crystal and is quite beautiful."
Obviously, she just thought it was a rhinestone of a unique shape, or a glass product made of special material, and didn't think of anything else at all.
Hearing this, Yu Xia's heart, which had been hanging in her throat, suddenly fell back into her stomach.
He quietly loosened his fists that he had clenched at some point, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his palms.
Fortunately... Fortunately Song Yan doesn’t know.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust Song Yan.
He gave his whole heart to the woman he decided to spend his life with, and wanted to give her all the best.
This love is sincere, even deep.
But this love cannot make him lose his sense of responsibility and gamble the safety of the entire Yu family.
The secret of space and crystal core is a sword hanging over the Yu family's head, and it is also their greatest reliance for survival.
This is not selfishness, this is responsibility.
He couldn't put his mother, eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother, youngest brother, and Xiaobai in potential danger just because of his feelings.
In fact, hadn't he used the crystal core to take care of Song Yan?
It's just that she herself doesn't know it.
Ever since the two of them moved in together, Yu Xia would quietly hold Song Yan's hand almost every night before falling asleep.
He would hold a crystal core and silently channel the gentle energy inside into her body like a trickle of water.
Song Yan only felt that since being with Yu Xia, not only had her sleep quality become surprisingly good, but her skin and complexion had also improved a lot. Even the dysmenorrhea problem that had troubled her for many years disappeared quietly.
She just secretly attributed all this to the nourishment of love and the benefits of "living together" with Yu Xia, and never doubted anything else.
Seeing that Song Yan really had no suspicion, Yu Xia secretly breathed a sigh of relief and did not say anything to stop Yu Bai from leaving the crystal core in Baoer's hands.
After all, the energy of the crystal core is very beneficial to Baoer's physical and mental state.
As long as... we're not discovered.
