"I'm happy to see that you like her, because now there is one more person in this world that sincerely cares about her." An Yibei's voice was much gentler now. "I won't deny that Xiaxia is lucky to have you, but it's a tragedy for Xiaxia at the same time. You saw what happened last time. A mere photo of a kiss caused so much dispute online. What then? Let's say you really become a couple. Go public and An Xiaxia will be attacked. Stay in hiding… ha, would you really make Xiaxia your secret lover?"
The look in Sheng Yize's eyes was indescribable.
"When you really like someone, you don't want and won't let her get hurt. If you liking her only brings her trouble, as her older brother, it's my responsibility to protect her." An Yibei adjusted his glasses. "Sorry about hitting you just then."
An Yibei had always been a level-headed man. Now that his head was clear again, he could treat Sheng Yize in a befitting manner.
Sheng Yize pursed his lips. "I see."
