“I’m fine.” Feeling his worried concern, Ye Si Nian assured him and turned his head to smile at him but as he tried to pull the corner of his mouth it was as if he had suddenly forgotten how to smile.
“I’m here.” Pei Xiuyuan’s eyes were filled with distress, and his voice sounded little hoarse. At this moment, he probably had guessed the ins and outs of the matter. His heart seemed to tighten making him hurt.
Almost speechless, he tried his best to comfort the lover who was grinning like a knife in front of him with all his strength but found that any words seemed unsuitable for this moment.
What kind of darkness has his brother, his lover, experienced before, that could make him lose his ability to smile at this moment?
Pei Xiuyuan was so distraught that he almost choked, his lips trembled slightly, and his red eyes were slightly glowing. His broad hands were pressed against Ye Si Nian’s neck at the back. He wanted to force him into his arms, but he was afraid that if he used any force he could break his lover.
He was carefully embraced into his arms like a fragile product. Ye Si Nian sniffed his nose and pressed the vulnerability in his heart, holding it back. He complained with a gruff voice, “It’s all right…”
“Xiu Ning …” Pei Xiuyuan hugged the lover in his arms tightly, his throat was tight, his eyes were stinging, as if confirming that he would not leave, and repeated over and over again: “Xiu Ning …”
The burning tears fell on the side of his neck, almost burning to the bottom of his heart, and felt the pain so thick that he could hardly ignore. Ye Si Nian who had been hiding in his heart since leaving the last world. His fear and uneasiness about his lover and the future finally disappeared. He wiped his tears on Pei Xiuyuan’s body. Ye Si Nian patted his back energetically, and said, “Okay! I’m fine! We’ll leave!”
“Um.” Pei Xiuyuan nodded, wiping the wetness of his eyes quickly when to avoid Ye Si Nian from noticing.
As a big man with a gentle and tough appearance on the outside, naturally, he cannot cry in front of people! Not even his lover!
Of course, Ye Si Nian would not expose his small movements. He turned and stood in front of an old door, took a deep breath, and pushed open the wooden door that seemed to have not been opened for many years.
The door was pushed open and everything inside was clear at a glance.
The narrow, suffocating little room, the horrible white walls were full of potholes dug out by the orphans inside with nails, with mottled traces of the years.
In a trance, the little boy in the thin white stripe shirt was sitting in the corner holding his knees. His expression was stiff and numb all over his body, but there were only a few big eyes looking curiously. When he came over, a faint light flashed inside.
His heart was suddenly hurt as if stabbed and when Ye Si Nian made a move to step forward subconsciously, but before he could even step into the door, he saw that little boy with a pair of phoenix eyes disappear in a blink of an eye …
His eyes blurred for a moment, his muscles tightened and quickly relaxed, and Ye Si Nian’s lips flattened into a straight line as he stepped into the room. The deeply ingrained fear in his bones remaining inside his body instantly lifted his heart.
But after all, he was no longer the weak orphan who was unable to and his emotional support was currently behind him, holding his hands. Ye Si Nian closed his eyes as he gradually calmed down with his nervousness eased.
It was a very small cage, even if there is nothing in it now, it still seemed a little crowded to accommodate the two grown men.
Ye Si Nian walked to the small window, squatted down, and reached out to brush the dust that had accumulated for many years. He carefully took out a small copper coin that was so rusted that the original pattern could no longer be seen.
He clearly remembered how excited the little boy was when he found the little copper coin that rolled off the pocket of the man who had been hitting him all the time. He faced the man’s hard leather boots and fell to the ground to cover it. He held it tightly in his hands against the body’s blue and purple looking at the beautiful and delicate bird pattern on it, it felt like owning the entire world …
That was the first time he really had something, and for the first time, he showed a smile of joy from his heart.
Holding the rusty copper coin in the palm of his hand, Ye Si Nian’s heart finally completely relaxed. He glanced at the prompt for the successful download of the file displayed on the system interface. He sighed and stood up and said: “Let’s go, Come on! ”
“Okay!” Pei Xiuyuan fixedly looked at him, and gently kissed his forehead.
Smiling and intertwining their fingers, the two walked out of the building together. When exiting the abandoned building, Ye Si Nian looked back at the building that once gave the original owner endless darkness.
After tonight, everything will be different, all the secrets here will no longer be secrets.
Ye Si Nian secretly promised in the bottom of his heart as his finger moved and gave the system an order to expose everything.
