"Since I walked into the Yan family, I knew we would stay together for the rest of our lives. Seeing you grow up little by little, I feel accomplished and anxious. I hope you grow up soon so that we can be really together, but I am also afraid that you will not be good enough, afraid that you will not accept me, and I do not want to let adult troubles bother you.

But Chu Xia, since you disappeared, I realized that I could no longer live without you in my world, so I told myself that when you come back, I will tell you my true thoughts and never let you leave me again."

Chu Xia retreated and was held in his arms by him. This embrace was very warm and was a harbor she loved to rely on since she was a child. She once proudly told others that she had the best brother in the world.

But why does it feel a little different when you get closer to this embrace? I can't tell you what's weird, but she still likes the feeling she used to do. Why do you want to change? Isn't it better for her brother to be a brother? This sudden change is indeed difficult for her to accept.

He pushed Yan Junye away without looking at the hurt expression in his eyes. He turned around and pulled the door away from his room like running away. She really didn't like this change, which made her feel depressed.

The person in his arms suddenly disappeared. Looking at her escaped back, Yan Junye stood there in a daze, feeling something gradually scratching through his fingers. He wanted to grab it, but couldn't catch it. Was he too impatient? He scared her? He really didn't want it. He just wanted her to know that he really cared about her in his friendship with her, and he couldn't live without her. But why did he feel that he pushed her farther away...

Yan Junye did not sleep all night that night, and Chu Xia did not sleep all night. She never expected her brother to confess her love to her suddenly, which really shocked her. She did not respond to him because she didn't know how to speak, because she was not mentally prepared at all.

How could it suddenly become like this? To be honest, although she knew that he was not her own brother, she never dared to think about it elsewhere. She had always enjoyed the life of protecting her brother. Seeing those girls crazy about her brother, she was very proud because she was her brother. She had a handsome and elegant brother. Whether she was studying when she was a child or taking over her father's company when she grew up, she was always the best. How could such a brother not make her proud?

But now everything has changed. If my brother was not my brother, she wouldn't know how to get along with him. Her heart was so messy. Coupled with Junbao's affairs, her head hurts.

The next day, she was going to talk to her father. Maybe her father had known about this a long time ago, maybe everything was arranged by him, otherwise he would not sit and watch the situation and pretend not to know. So my brother must have agreed to this, dad.

When I walked to the door of my father's study, I was about to raise my hand to knock on the door when I heard the voices inside. I heard carefully that it was the voices of my brother and my father.

"Dad, Chu Xia went to find me last night and asked me to help her get back."

"She still doesn't give up? Why is this girl so stubborn? Have you told her about the crisis caused by activating the artifact?"

"Yes, of course I said everything, but she said that if she didn't go back, she would be uneasy for the rest of her life."

"Hmph! I don't know that she still has such a strong sense of responsibility. Since that's the case, why didn't she fulfill her responsibilities to her father, a selfish girl."

Chu Xia felt ashamed when she heard her father's dissatisfaction. Yes, for so many years, she has always angered him and made him worry, but she has never fulfilled her responsibilities as a daughter to respect him and take care of him.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard her father's voice sound again, "Tell her that if she insisted on activate the artifact, we might face a catastrophe and she would never see us again in the future."

Chu Xia was stunned. Is it really that serious? Just as she was about to push the door in, she heard from her brother: "Dad, would you lie to her like this? She had already believed what I said last time. If she knew that we would lie to her again in the future, this was just a way for us to stop her, and she would hate us."

"If you don't say it, how could she know if I don't say it. Besides, you and she are already married, and maybe they have children. Even if she knows it, it's impossible for us to leave. So you must speed up that matter. It's best to settle your affairs immediately so that I can rest assured..."

Before Yan's father finished speaking, the door was pushed open suddenly. The two of them looked at the door in surprise, and saw Chu Xia's face turning black and angry.

How could she not be angry? Just because she believed their words, even if she spent every day in her torture, she would not dare to say anything else because she could not harm them because of her selfishness. Who knew that she knew that all this was a scam they set up, and they took great pains to stop her from going back.

"Chu Xia... Listen to me..." Seeing the anger on Chu Xia's face, Yan Junye's heart tightened. He didn't mean to lie to her, nor did he expect she would hear their conversation.

"Don't say anything! Why do you do this? You know that I believe in you, but you still lie to me like this? Do you know that I am very sad?" Looking at the two people in the room, they were the people she trusted the most. She never dreamed that they would lie to her together. Especially her brother, she could never have thought that he would lie to her.

Yan Junye wanted to say something, his lips twitched for a moment, but he didn't know how to speak, because what she was talking about was the facts, and he failed her trust in him. He said she was selfish, but in fact he was selfish.

At this time, Yan's father suddenly stood up from the chair and approached his daughter with a faint pain in his eyes. He said loudly: "Chu Xia, are you here to ask for punishment? Do you want to know why? OK, let me tell you why. Because we love you, because we don't want you to take risks, because we are afraid of losing you! Whether it is me or Jun Ye, do you think we will harm you? You can go to another world regardless of it. Have you ever thought about our feelings? Since your mother passed away, how did I raise you with great difficulty? Although I was a little strict with you, I was also afraid that you would do the wrong thing and go the wrong way.

And Jun Ye, he has been waiting for you for so many years, and he has paid so much for you. Do you feel nothing at all? Whether it is family affection or love, there is still love?

The world you are talking about is full of conspiracies and wars. We cannot stay by your side, let alone help you. Do you let us send you to suffer? Who knows if you are so lucky this time? Maybe an accident occurs on the way to send you, and you will never come back; or maybe you have a crisis there, but there is only one life, and you think you are really Superman?"

Yan's father's sensational words made Chu Xia unable to refute, and the courage to provoke the army gradually disappeared. His heart was so sour and tears couldn't help falling.

She admitted that what her father said was right. Maybe their actions were wrong, but it was for her good and for her not to leave them. Only in front of them can they feel at ease and help her even if there is danger.

This is the voice of a father. He is just a selfish father. He wants to keep his daughter by his side. He is not wrong, he is not good.

Yan Junye felt bad either. Seeing the father and daughter who were confronting each other, he spoke and interrupted them.

"Chu Xia, you can blame us, but we really want to protect you. And what we told you are not all lying to you. If the artifact is activated, it will really cause an uproar."

But this time Chu Xia was not so easy to be fooled, and being deceived once was enough.

"You don't need to say anything. I understand you are for my own good, but I still have to stick to my decision. Dad, brother, I hope you can help me. I promise to come back immediately after handling the matter there. Even if I don't want to come back, you can force me back. I promise you won't have any complaints."

Both of them were stunned. Unexpectedly, after they said so much, she still insisted on her own.

Father Yan was full of anger, but finally turned into a helpless sigh, "Chu Xia, do you really have to be so persistent?"

"Dad, you once told me that you must be responsible for your life and work, and you cannot give up halfway. If I just come back like this, would it be considered to give up halfway?"

This time, Chu Xia took a soft attitude and no longer had to be stubborn with his father. After understanding his motives, how could she be ungrateful? In this world, no one loves herself more than him.

"Dad, brother, I love you. No one can replace you in my heart. Will you wait for me to come back? I promise not to leave again." Her eyes looked at the two of them begging, she really hoped that they could understand her and trust her.

"Dad, just promise her?" Yan Junye couldn't bear to see her so uncomfortable, and his heart finally softened. He looked at his father for soliciting requests.

Yan's father looked confused, but he didn't expect Junye to say that too. Then what else did he say? He angrily left a sentence and turned around and went out.

"Whatever you guys."

Chu Xia looked at Jun Ye gratefully and said sincerely: "Brother, thank you."

Yan Junye's back stiffened, and then he pulled out a faint smile. He thought that after yesterday's confession, Chu Xia should have expressed something, but she still called him brother, as if nothing had changed. This made him feel relieved and disappointed. Because she did not keep a distance from him, but she did not bring the distance closer. Perhaps he was really too sudden, and it happened to be apart during this period, giving her some space.

Chu Xia didn't expect that he would have the chance to step into this room again, but he came in secretly last time, and this time he was open and honest.

All the mechanisms were closed, and this time there was no more thrilling or exciting, and the mood was very different from that time.
