Chapter 549: 549
Sheng Yize jerked and looked petrified .
An Xiaxia was flabbergasted as well . She shifted her gaze and saw An Yibei standing at the door, a murderous look on his face .
“Ahem, hello, Brother An . ” Sheng Yize struggled to keep his composure . He sat up, tucked An Xiaxia in, and pretended that nothing had happened .
Unfortunately, he was only giving himself away with that conspicuously innocent act .
An Yibei adjusted his glasses and went up to the bed with an impassive face . “I see you’re already alive and kicking, so you’re fine now . Do you know that our old man fainted from high blood pressure because of you?”
An Xiaxia felt so embarrassed and apologized gingerly, “I’m sorry…”
“Hmph!” An Yibei darted Sheng Yize a sidelong glance . “To the corridor!”
Sheng Yize rubbed his nose and awkwardly followed An Yibei out .
A couple of minutes later, he came back, looking defeated . An Xiaxia asked in a worried tone, “Are you alright?”
“I… guess…” He grimaced inwardly, feeling the bruises forming on his body .
That overprotective brother was as ruthless as ever…
He picked up that notebook and went back to reading An Xiaxia’s diary .
“January 1st . I watched fireworks with Brother Ah Ze . He said no view was as pretty as me . Sigh , Brother Ah Ze is perfect, but he has very bad taste . ”
Sheng Yize was speechless .
He went on reading after a little pause .
“February 14th . Valentine’s Day and Spring Festival are on the same day this year~ Brother Ah Ze said he’s going to spend this day with me every year from now on… Sob , does he want to take my meat for the rest of my life?
“May 1st, Labor’s Day . Lala~ I’m a hardworking bee! I watered all of Brother Ah Ze’s plants, but… he said cacti didn’t need it…
“June 3rd . Brother Ah Ze said today is the day I hatched, but it’s my birthday! I’m not a chicken . I didn’t hatch out of an egg . Is there something wrong with his head?
“July 8th . I like summer, Brother Ah Ze likes summer, I like Brother Ah Ze! Yeah!”
Sheng Yize stopped there and snickered . “You little fool, falling in love so early… You wrote that you like me in your diary . Restrain yourself…”
Despite the feigned disdain in his voice, he couldn’t have been any happier .
He darted a look at An Xiaxia, but she had already fallen asleep .
Smiling, he finished the rest of the diary on his own .
The bits and pieces of their past were warm, touching, and the best of their memories .
Knock, knock —
There was a knock on the door and An Yibei walked in . He glanced at An Xiaxia, who was asleep in bed . “She’s sleeping?”
“Yes . ”
“Come . Let’s have a drink . ”
Sheng Yize did as he was told . After instructing his bodyguard to secretly watch over An Xiaxia, he went to the nearest bar with An Yibei .
Both were exceptional drinkers and they finished several bottles after a short while .
Soothing jazz music was playing in the bar . An Yibei adjusted his glasses and lit a cigarette, looking painfully handsome as he held it between his fingers .
“When my dad was trying to give Xiaxia a name, he had come up with quite a few, but she didn’t like any of them . She was too afraid to speak and liked to hide in the corners of our house . On a whim, my dad asked, ‘How about Xiaxia?’”
An Yibei smiled . “That was the first time I heard her speak . She asked, ‘Xia, as in summer?’”
It felt as if a chasm had been pried open in Sheng Yize’s impenetrable heart . He pursed his lips tight and recalled that paragraph in her diary…
“I like summer, Brother Ah Ze likes summer, I like Brother Ah Ze…”
Was that why… she liked the name “Xiaxia”?
