Qiao Yanze met her shocked eyes and the smile in his eyes deepened. He reached out to help her lift a strand of hair by her cheek and said in a low and hoarse voice, "It's very difficult for me to see you now. In order to not let them notice your existence, I had to lay the groundwork in advance… Otherwise, I would have come to find you immediately after I was discharged."
The man's fingertips were strangely warm, and Li Yinian subconsciously avoided them.
"…Don't worry. I don't intend to do anything. I just want to see you," Qiao Yanze added hoarsely.
Li Yinian looked at the Maiden Peak not far away and said bitterly, "You shouldn't have come. The more it is like this, the harder it is for you to let go."
"Indeed." He smiled again. "I was really bored during the past few days I was in the hospital, so I thought of a question. If we had gotten along as siblings from the start, what would it be like now?"
