Chapter Fifty-One Loving Him More Than Oneself

Li Yi arrived at Yan Luoxi's room when she was still asleep. A transparent drip bottle hung above her head, and the medicine dripped down steadily drop by drop. The surroundings were very quiet. Li Yi lowered his head, narrowed his eyes, and carefully observed Yan Luoxi lying on the bed in deep sleep.
There were a few scratches on her cheeks that looked red and swollen. Her hair was somewhat messy, with a small dried leaf stuck to it, making her look very disheveled.
This unremarkable little girl who seemed insignificant could make his precious younger brother risk everything for her, be plagued by worry, and never forget about her. Li Yi clenched his fist unwillingly at the thought of this. At that moment, he suddenly remembered Ni Xuanyi...
Thinking of the figure that had abruptly flashed through his mind, Li Yi couldn't help shaking his head fiercely to get rid of it. To divert his attention, he reached out with his right hand and gently removed the dried leaf stuck in Yan Luoxi's hair.
Mighty was his grip; Yan Luoxi instantly woke up, her eyes wide with confusion and alarm as she looked at Li Yi towering over her. Her body trembled slightly.
Yan Luoxi slowly turned her stiff neck. Due to maintaining a single position for too long, she even heard the slight "click" sound from where her vertebrae met. "Big Brother" She called out hoarsely, as if in a dream.
Seeing that Yan Luoxi had woken up, Li Yi's dark eyes flashed with something, only to disappear under the warm and bright lighting. He then smiled kindly at Yan Luoxi: "Little Sister Luoxi, you're awake now. How do you feel Do you have any discomfort anywhere"
Yan Luoxi's pale face remained unchanged under the illumination, and the faint smell of disinfectant mixed with floral fragrance from inside the room stimulated her sluggish mind. She suddenly widened her eyes and asked anxiously in a hoarse voice: "Elder brother, where is my second elder brother Is Li An... how is he"
Li Yi managed to show a relieved smile; these two young troublemakers still had some sense after all. The first thing they said when regaining consciousness was about each other's safety.
He smiled at Yan Luoxi, as if basking in warm spring breeze: "Li An is fine. He only suffered severe rib contusions and the doctor has operated on him. He’s out of danger now."
Hearing that Li An was still alive, Yan Luoxi heaved a heavy sigh of relief; she didn’t even hear what Li Yi said afterward. She struggled to sit up from her lying position. As soon as she moved, it immediately pulled at the myriad of small wounds, causing her to cry out in pain. A look of agony appeared on her face and cold sweat broke out all over her body.
"What are you trying to do Do you want some water" Li Yi quickly reached out his hand to press down on Yan Luoxi’s shoulder. "The doctor said that you should not move around for now. If there's anything you need, just tell me and I'll get a nurse to help."
Yan Luoxi was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Li Yi with teary eyes: "Elder brother, I want to see Li An!"
In this matter of Li An being injured, Li Yi did hold some resentment towards Yan Luoxi. If it weren’t for the girl who appeared out of nowhere in his house, Li An wouldn't have become like a madman. Perhaps he would still be that arrogant and self-important second-generation young master causing trouble everywhere.
Seeing how concerned Yan Luoxi was about Li An now, some of Li Yi’s resentment dissipated slightly.
He sat down on the長沙發in front of Yan Luoxi's hospital bed, appearing very composed. He addressed her in a perfunctory manner, saying, "Li An has just been given sedatives and is now asleep."
Although Yan Luoxi was injured, her mind remained clear. Upon seeing Li Yi calmly sit down, she realized he wanted to have a long conversation with her. She nodded and obediently lay back on the bed.
Li Yi did not speak immediately, and the large hospital room fell silent at once.
The humidifier on the coffee table emitted faint white smoke; in the clear glass kettle, one could vaguely hear the sound of water, as cold vapors emerged eagerly only to dissipate instantly.
Li Yi's chilly aura was much more intense than Li An's. Lying on the bed, Yan Luoxi listened to Li Yi remain silent for a long while and not knowing what he wanted to say made her feel as though her heart were being roasted over fire; even this short period felt unbearably agonizing.
"Luoxi," Li Yi finally spoke softly. "Earlier in the capital city, Li An once did something that harmed you. I didn't expect him to糾纏you again later on, and today he caused you harm yet again. As your eldest brother, I am apologizing on his behalf. Once your body recovers, I will arrange for someone to protect you as you leave."
Upon hearing Li Yi's words, Yan Luoxi couldn't help but grip the bedsheet tightly; her blue veins faintly showed through her hand, and her knuckles turned slightly pale.
It was said that this eldest son of the Lis was even more formidable than Li Haonan. Today, Yan Luoxi truly experienced what it meant to speak softly but mean fiercely! What it meant to advance by retreating!
Liyi竟然在這麼短的時間內看穿了自己和Li An的感情,因為他一向敏銳,雖然總是看似溫和、漫不經心,其實他的心思敏銳到可怕。
這個男人經曆過大風大浪,早就練就了一雙火眼金睛,在他眼中,自己隻能是透明的。
Yan Luoxi心裡不禁既尷尬又有些羞惱,畢竟被一個人看穿的感覺並不好受。
偏偏說話的人仍是一派誠摯的表情,那張臉半隱在淡淡的煙霧後頭,彷彿連眼中的那份深邃也一起淡了下去,愈加讓人捉摸不透。
事到如今,為了不和Li An分離,自己隻能主動承認對他的感情,他輸掉的尊嚴,他哥哥今天都要替他討回來了。
Yan Luoxi微微垂下視線,不敢去看Liyi,聲音很輕,但卻無比堅定,“大哥,你不用讓人護著我離開。這次Li An冇有糾纏我,我和他是自願在一起的,隻是我冇料到會出車禍,車子翻了,害得Li An為我受傷,真是對不起。”
Liyi的姿勢冇變,隻是輕挑唇角,回以一個意味不明的低笑。
Yan Luoxi等了半天見Liyi冇有說話,隻能硬著頭皮,忍著羞澀,舔著臉皮繼續說下去,“大哥,我這次是真的想跟Li An在一起了。我很在意Li An,就如同在意我自己一樣,我不願失去他,如同不願失去自己。”ing your life solely for her the purpose of your existence Alright, Lian, since you don't take my and our parents' feelings into consideration, neither will I.
