However, just after taking two steps, his body suddenly froze.
"Brother—!" A familiar voice ca from behind, and Situ Yan felt a pang in his heart, his expression turning sowhat complicated.
Nangong Feihong stepped forward and stood in front of Situ Yan.
"Brother... you really don’t plan to recognize as your younger brother anymore? Yueyue just talked to , and I’ve thought it through. I know... I did sothing wrong, I made you sad. But... I’ve also had my difficulties, I..."
"Don’t say any more..." Situ Yan’s eyebrows twitched slightly, his eyes subtly reddening.
He raised his eyes, looking at Nangong Feihong whose eyes were already brimming with tears, and couldn’t help but reach out, giving his shoulder a firm pat.
"Silly boy, how could I really be mad at you? I just... hate myself for being useless, for not bringing you by my side sooner. Don’t bla your brother, I just didn’t want you to endure the sa pain as ..."
Nangong Feihong shook his head while crying, "Brother, stop it..."
He took a step forward, and Situ Yan couldn’t help but reach out his hand too.
The two brothers hugged each other tightly.
At that mont, Qi Yue stood behind them, watching the scene, tears streaming down her face.
She finally understood what it ant to be thicker than water.
True familial bonds are sothing that nothing can sever.
Especially when you have nothing but your only kin.
Soon, the two brothers walked to her.
Qi Yue quickly wiped her tears, Situ Yan looked at Qi Yue, his gaze carrying a hint of complexity and gratitude.
"Qi Yue, thank you," he said, staring at her with a smile.
Qi Yue quickly shook her head.
With a slightly embarrassed smile, she said, "Well... if I had known it would go this smoothly, I should have picked a more expensive restaurant! Anyway... this al is on you!"
Situ Yan curled his lips, reached out, and ruffled her hair, "Alright, order anything you want!"
Qi Yue was montarily stunned by his gesture, and then her face imdiately blushed.
On the side, Nangong Feihong couldn’t help teasing, "Yueyue, why not just beco my sister-in-law then? That way, your al tickets would be fully covered by my brother!"
Qi Yue hurriedly said, "What... what are you talking about!"
Situ Yan said, "Exactly, Feihong, if she becos your sister-in-law, Yueyue won’t be a na you can call anymore!"
Qi Yue: "..."
"Oh, fine... then I’ll start calling you sister-in-law now!"
She shot the two brothers a glance, her face flushed, and said helplessly, "If you two keep this up, I’m leaving! You can have dinner on your own!"
Nangong Feihong quickly stepped forward and grabbed her, "Alright, it was a joke, don’t be so petty!"
Qi Yue, both amused and exasperated, followed Feihong back to the dining table.
However, just as they sat down, Nangong Feihong’s phone rang.
He answered the call, his expression turning a bit grim.
"Brother... Yueyue, I have to go now!"
"What happened?" Situ Yan asked, frowning.
Nangong Feihong hesitated for a mont, glanced at Situ Yan, and explained, "It’s... it’s a good friend of mine who’s been hospitalized. I need to go check on them imdiately."
A hint of doubt flashed in Situ Yan’s eyes, but he still said, "Then hurry up and go."
Qi Yue, watching Nangong Feihong leave, couldn’t help but wonder, "Which of Feihong’s classmates is hospitalized, making him so anxious... could it be a girl?"
Situ Yan curled his lips, looked at Qi Yue, and said, "Don’t worry about him, let’s eat."
