Lu Jiajing's eyes immediately filled with tears, but she forced herself not to let them fall.
She said, her voice choked with emotion.
"Thank you, brother."
Yanluo smiled gently.
"Are you feeling unwell? Can you eat? Do you want to sleep a little longer and eat when you feel better?"
With Yan Luo's help, Lu Jiajing sat up and leaned against the pillow.
"No, it's okay, I can eat it."
Yan Luo nodded.
"Then take your medicine after you finish eating."
"Wait a moment, I'll bring it up to you."
Lu Jiajing blankly replied with an "okay," watching Yan Luo leave the room.
The tears were still in her eyes, but they didn't fall.
Lu Jiajing reached out and wiped away her tears.
I can't cause any more trouble for everyone.
Don't cry.
But I really want to cry.
Lu Jiajing covered her mouth to stop herself from crying out loud, and desperately wiped away the tears that welled up in her eyes with her other hand.
Lu Jiajing's parents rarely came back after she turned fifteen.
Lu Jiajing, who was in her adolescence, did not choose to indulge herself or let herself fall into depravity.
Instead, they chose to become sensible children.
Because she has always been a sensible child.
Her parents were also very at ease with her and didn't pay much attention to the girl's emotional changes.
Lu Jiajing is very lonely.
The friends I make are only close to me because of my family.
I don't have any true friends at all; everyone is just befriending me because of what their parents ask them to do.
This continued until September of this year.
The white-haired girl barged into her life, or rather, she barged into the life of the white-haired girl.
But isn't that what friends are all about?
Lu Jiajing, who had always devoted herself to her studies and refused to slack off even for a moment, fearing that she would lose focus and start daydreaming, had long lived a world devoid of color.
Until that seemingly cold but actually warm white appeared, bringing with it a colorful world.
Lu Jiajing was very grateful to Tu Luoxue for being her friend, and very grateful to her family for being so kind to her.
Tu Luoxue walked in carrying a tray.
I saw Lu Jiajing secretly wiping away her tears.
The white-haired girl placed the tray on the table, walked to the bedside, and spoke gently.
"It's time to eat after you've finished crying."
Lu Jiajing hugged Tu Luoxue tightly.
"Xue'er—"
"Waaaaah..."
Tu Luoxue gently patted Lu Jiajing's back.
"Don't cry, you still have a fever, you'll feel even more dizzy later."
Lu Jiajing shook her head, only sobbing.
"Waaaaah, Xue'er, it's so wonderful to have met you!"
Tu Luoxue carried Lu Jiajing to the edge of the bed and rested her chin on Lu Jiajing's shoulder.
"Me too."
The two girls' friendship was strengthened at this moment.
Yanluo ate and smiled at the dining table downstairs.
Tu Keke looked at him with disgust.
"Uncle, your smile is so lewd."
Yan Luo pretended to pull out a bamboo strip from behind her back.
Tu Keke quickly admitted defeat.
"No, no, no, I meant Uncle, your smile is so gentle."
Yan Luo's lips curled up slightly.
"Little brat, your uncle will always be your uncle."
Tu Keke pouted, picked up a piece of chicken breast and ate it.
He took bite after bite, his light blue eyes fixed on Yanluo as if he were biting into Yanluo's flesh.
Xu Rongyue couldn't stop smiling.
Although it wasn't the first time I'd witnessed the amusing interactions between the uncle and nephew, each time I saw it, I found it both hilarious and heartwarming.
After dinner, Su Qing and Bai Ningbing went to clean up the kitchen.
Chi Miaomiao took her baby to take a bath.
Xu Rongyue was taken home by Xu Qinghe.
Yanluo took the ear thermometer and checked Lu Jiajing's temperature after she finished dinner. Fortunately, it was just a low-grade fever.
Lu Jiajing took the fever reducer and went back to sleep.
Tu Luoxue stayed in the room with Lu Jiajing.
Tu Keke sat alone in the stone pavilion under the night sky after the rain.
A slightly chilly autumn breeze blew across the girl's golden hair and caressed her fair face.
Tu Keke's eyes were filled with disappointment and sorrow, and she was looking away.
Yan Luo instantly appeared beside Tu Keke, startling her.
"Wow! Uncle, can you stop appearing and disappearing like this all the time?"
Yan Luo sat down next to Tu Keke and said with a grin.
"Sorry, sorry, this ability is too useful, who would want to walk anymore?"
Tu Keke pouted, spread her hands, and lay down on the stone table.
Yanluo looked up at the night sky, which had neither stars nor moon.
"Uncle, do you miss your mom and dad?"
Tu Keke tilted her head to look at Yan Luo.
Yan Luo nodded.
"think."
Do you miss them?
Tu Keke nodded.
Yan Luo patted Tu Keke's head.
Yan Luo understood that what happened to Lu Jiajing today had a great impact on Tu Keke and Tu Luoxue.
Especially Tu Keke.
My older sister and brother-in-law are very busy with work and don't have much time to spend with their children. The three sisters are often home alone.
Yanlu sometimes complained to her sister, asking her and her brother-in-law to spend more time with the children.
Yanli was also helpless. She had thought about giving up her research, but the country needed her, needed her technology, and needed her knowledge.
The same applies to Tu Yi.
The couple felt guilty towards their children, but no matter what they chose, they would have regrets.
For the sake of the greater good of the nation, they had no choice but to give up the time they could spend with their children.
At that time, Tu Keke was still young and did not understand. She only thought that her parents disliked her and her sister.
That's why they often don't come back.
Before my younger sister was born, I always lived with my older sister.
Because their father moved them out of their grandparents' house.
Grandpa and Grandma are also very busy, but Grandma often makes time to go out and play with them.
Although Tu Keke appears lively and cheerful on the surface, seemingly not caring about anything.
But like Chi Miaomiao, she is thoughtful and has many thoughts, often getting lost in a swamp of ideas.
Yanluo embraced Tu Keke.
Do you want to cry?
Tu Keke nodded.
The young man held the blonde girl tightly in his arms.
"Cry it out, but once you're done crying, you have to keep living your life."
Tu Keke burst into tears immediately.
"I...I miss my mom and dad so much..."
"Why, why did you take them away from me?"
Yan Luo gently stroked Tu Keke's head.
He chose to remain silent; he didn't know how to face the problem.
Strictly speaking, Yanluo was the one who suffered the most.
He lost his parents and grandfather in his childhood, his mentor and teammates sacrificed their lives in his youth, and his older sister left him in his adulthood.
Yanluo suffers from severe internal strife, and he is prone to taking all the blame upon himself.
I blame myself for not being strong enough, for being too weak, and for not having the power to change everything.
The three children and three lovers constantly comforted the young man's wounded heart, allowing Yanluo to get to where she is today.
He was never a perfect person.
Yanluo only hopes that she will not lose anyone else in the future.
Tu Keke lifted her head from Yan Luo's warm embrace, her eyes slightly red, with two tear tracks on her face, and a crystal tear sliding down her left eye.
The blonde girl's delicate hand rested on the young man's shoulder, as the evening breeze carried infinite tenderness.
