In the year she turned 17, after her parents were over 40 years of age, they had another child.
What did this child mean?!
It meant the nullification of her entire status in the family.
It meant that the family would no longer have a place for her.
She wasn't heartless, she wasn't incapable of feeling sadness, but for Xiao Ye, she endured, she forcibly endured. She staked her whole life's worth on Xiao Ye, she gambled herself on Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye knew this.
Although Xiao Ye never said a word, there was a moment, at least for an instant, when she saw the emotion in Xiao Ye's eyes.
Xiao Ye wasn't someone easily moved by emotions, but when she told him, Xiao Ye, you are the only one in my life, in that moment, Xiao Ye held her in his arms, with no promises, but it felt as if in that moment, one could sense his resolve to take care of her for the rest of his life.
It always seemed, no matter what had been sacrificed, everything was worth it.
For Xiao Ye, it was all worth it.
