send her back immediately. I will persuade her not to speak out of turn in front of them.""I won't!" Upon hearing his brother's request to send away Yan Luoxi, Li An glared angrily, "Why should I sen...Chapter 103: Confession of Love

Luo Yi was smooth and decisive in his actions. After hearing Yan Luoxi's words, he felt that he had achieved his goal. He raised his head and arched his prominent eyebrows, "Luoxi, were the words you spoke today sincere Were they not coerced by Li An"

"They weren't coerced by Li An; they come from my heart," Yan Luoxi appeared before Luo Yi like a primary school student facing a strict teacher.

Yan Luoxi felt embarrassed with such an answer.

In the past, she had struggled to escape Li An's coercion and desperately wanted to run away. Even when Luo Yi kindly advised her, she refused to agree. Today, however, she was actually asking Luo Yi to let her stay by Li An’s side.

Thinking about it now is truly pitiful. If only I had known back then what would happen today!

There's no escape from this; the most fickle thing in the world is human heart.

Luo Yi saw Yan Luoxi’s flushed face and knew that he had pushed her to her limits. He smiled gently at her, "Luoxi, actually, all these matters are between you and Li An. As your older brother, I shouldn’t meddle in their affairs.

But since I know that Li An has always been stubborn and domineering, and then there was the incident in the capital city, I just wanted to confirm your true feelings today so as not to let you suffer any more injustice.

You and Li An are equally important to me; I care for both of you deeply. I don't want him to be sad, nor do I want you to get bullied. In fact, as an older brother, I am torn between the two.

Li Yi spoke in a very grand manner, leaving no room for criticism. Yan Luoxi listened and felt convinced; she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Big Brother, I understand your position."

"Luoxi, although your injuries aren't severe, you have many minor wounds. Rest well here while I look around to see if we can get you and Li An assigned to the same ward so that you two can take care of each other." Li Yi spoke in a very low-key manner; for him, changing wards was no big deal, but he wanted Yan Luoxi to appreciate how precious this opportunity was.

Right now, the person Yan Luoxi most wanted to see was Li An. Upon hearing what Li Yi said, she felt extremely grateful and her voice choked up as she thanked him, "Thank you so much, Big Brother."

Li Yi stood up, walked over to where Yan Luoxi lay, patted her hair gently, and said in an incredibly soft tone, "Stupid child, why thank me We are family after all. As long as I see you two doing well, that makes me happier than anything else."

After hearing what Li Yi had to say, Yan Luoxi felt much more at ease. She knew that Li An was fine and would soon be able to see him again; her exhaustion once more overtook her, and she closed her eyes to sleep.

Due to the preoccupation of thoughts about Li An, Yan Luoxi did not rest very long. When she woke up, only a specially assigned nurse was with her in the ward. She waited anxiously for Li Yi to arrange her move to another ward but saw no sign of him doing so, which made her rather anxious.

Yan Luoxi missed Li An and didn't want to bother nurses or ask them about Li Yi's whereabouts regarding the ward change. Thus, she tossed and turned in bed like a fish out of water, though every slight movement caused her pain and cold sweats.

After dinner, by 8:30 pm that night, nobody had come to arrange for her ward transfer yet. Yan Luoxi thought it was unlikely that this would happen today; just as she closed her eyes in despair and began to feel sleepy again, two doctors arrived with several nurses and a hospital cart.

Lian's face was pale, his breathing somewhat labored. He pressed his thin lips together tightly and stubbornly met his brother’s gaze head-on, saying, "Why did you have someone give me a sedative Why won’t you let me see Lu Xi"

“Lian, are you disobeying me again Your current condition makes it impossible for you to see Lu Xi! Do you know that taking off your IV on your own will affect your recovery” Lian Yi frowned in frustration, his words tinged with disappointment.

"I don’t care!" Lian’s handsome face was tense, every line of him radiating strong dissatisfaction. "Stop threatening me! If you do not let me see Lu Xi now, I’ll call Mom and Dad immediately—I won’t care what the consequences are!"

“Are you crazy You’ve already forgotten everything we just agreed on!” Lian Yi’s face was deathly pale, his chest heaving with visible anger at being pushed to this extreme.

"I did agree, but there were conditions. I said that if you won’t let me see Lu Xi, then I’ll do it regardless!" Lian clenched his fists in utmost frustration. If not for the fact that he was lying here unable to move, he would have long gone to look at Yan Luxi himself and wouldn't be enduring this humiliation.

Lian Yi, who had also been furious, found himself amused by Lian’s fiery eyes with a hint of tears. He pointed his finger at Lian’s nose, chiding, "Look how immature you are! Truly the kind one doesn’t want to lose."

Seeing that his big brother was smiling, Lian knew there was hope and no longer challenged Lian Yi head-on. Instead, he made a sorrowful face toward his brother, calling out in great distress, “Big Brother!”

"Alright, alright, don’t let others laugh at you. I’ve already arranged for Lu Xi to be brought here to recuperate," said Lian Yi, who doted on this little brother more than anyone else; if it were someone else daring to shout and scream like this, he would have long thought of a hundred ways to deal with them.

“Really!” Lian had not expected that Yan Luxi could be in the same ward as him. He was overjoyed but still couldn’t believe it.

"Really."

"Elder brother, I knew you would be the best to me." Despite his severe injuries, Li An didn't forget to give his elder brother a sweet-talking compliment.

Li Yi indicated for the nurse to reinsert the IV drip for Li An and looked at him with indulgence in his eyes. "Li An, I've already asked Yan Luoxi what she thinks. She said that this time she truly loves you; her attitude was very sincere. You should just stop causing trouble and start dating properly..."

"Brother, did she really say that Did she really admit to loving me" Li An was overjoyed and his dark eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Yes, she admitted it to me personally," Li Yi said coolly.

"She admitted it to you personally" Li An's smile faded halfway as his expression suddenly froze.

He was a bit confused. Yan Luoxi had such thin skin; even with him she wouldn't admit her feelings, yet she would run to his stern and detached elder brother to confess He looked into his brother’s eyes, seeing that they were the same as usual—deep like a pond, bottomless.

He didn’t have the heart to read more into his brother's expression. Frustrated, he questioned, "Did you use some means on her for her to admit these things to you"

Li Yi had nothing to hide from his younger brother and smiled candidly. "You tell me, in my life now, besides using tricks and schemes, what else could there possibly be I've already gotten used to living this way."sleep with this thought in mind.The weather in the South China Sea was stiflingly hot and dry; somewhere a cicada was chirping loudly.
