Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Auntie, do you want me to sleep on the sofa so badly?” Feng Jing looked helplessly at Feng Ya, who was hiding the flower pot behind her. He regretted not coming to the guest room earlier than her.

“I want you to sleep in the same room as Xiaotao. You should work harder. Feng Ya looked at Feng Jing as if she expected better from him. She felt that her nephew was good in every way, but he was a little slow when it came to relationships.

“Auntie, I’ve already told you that Xiaotao and I don’t have that kind of relationship.” Feng Jing didn’t know how to explain it to Feng Ya. Over the years, Yin Tao was indeed the first girl who had been very close to him, so it was inevitable that Feng Ya would misunderstand.

“Do you want to live alone for the rest of your life?” Feng Ya frowned. She had always been very concerned about Feng Jing.

Because of his childhood experience, Feng Jing had been different from other children since he was very young. He didn’t talk much and had a solitary personality. This was the first impression many people had of him. However , Feng Ya knew very well that Feng Jing’s abnormality was because of that incident. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become like this.

Therefore, Feng Ya had always hoped that Feng Jing would be able to put the past behind him. However, after so many years, Feng Jing had never changed.

But now that Yin Tao had appeared, it was the first time Feng Ya had seen Feng Jing take the initiative to care about others. Therefore, Feng Ya was certain that Yin Tao was different from the others and was also the person with the greatest hope of changing Feng Jing’s current situation.

“I don’t have any other thoughts now.” Feng Jing knew that Feng Ya really cared about him, so his tone was relatively calm.

“Feng Jing, are you punishing yourself now?’ Feng Ya raised her head slightly to look into Feng Jing’s eyes. In the blink of an eye, the introverted and shy little boy was actually a head taller than her.

“Don’t overthink it. What kind of punishment is it if you don’t fall in love?’

Feng Jing’s tone was very relaxed, but there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.

“Cut it out. I know you.” Feng Ya sighed deeply and said to Feng Jing seriously, ‘Your brother won’t want to see you like this. You’re using your own unhappiness to miss him. Feng Jing, you’re being very stupid.”

Feng Jing didn’t expect Feng Ya to take the initiative to mention his brother, Feng Ye. Ever since Feng Ye’s accident, his name seemed to have become a taboo word in the family. Feng Jing’s mother, Chen Fan, was badly traumatized. There was a period of time when she would break down and self harm whenever she heard Feng Ye’s name.

When Feng Jing was younger, he would cry silently and curl up trembling whenever he heard his brother’s name.

Everyone’s heart ached for him, but they were also overwhelmed by the sorrows of Feng Ye’s demise.

‘Yin Tao is a very good girl. I can’t take good care of her given my current state.” Feng Jing finally said what he had been worried about.

His emotional state had always been unhealthy. Feng Jing felt that he did not seem to have the ability to love someone properly now.

Sometimes, too many negative emotions would weigh Feng Jing down until he felt couldn’t breathe. If he couldn’t even take care of himself, how could he take care of Yin Tao?

“Then are you really not worried that you will miss Xiaotao?” Feng Ya felt that it was impossible for Feng Jing not to have a liking for Yin Tao. He wasn’t a sentimental person to begin with. The reason why he could be so close to Yin Tao was definitely because he liked her.

“She can have a better choice.” Feng Jing lowered his head slightly. He was feeling torn, and he couldn’t sort out his own thoughts.

“Sigh, why are you being so difficult?” Feng Ya didn’t know how to persuade Feng Jing, but she still hoped that he would give her a chance. “Although I’m not married, I have had a lot of experience in relationships. There are people whom you will spend the rest of your life regretting if you let them go.”

Feng Ya seemed to have recalled some things from the past and her eyes darkened. “Ah Jing, you’re a very good child. You shouldn’t have to live such a hard life.”

Feng Jing looked at Feng Ya, who had a regretful expression on her face, and nodded. “1 understand. However, as long as Feng Ye’s murderer is not caught, I can’t give up on the investigation.’

Feng Ya patted Feng Jing’s shoulder gently and said earnestly, “1 understand what you mean, so sometimes, don’t always bear the burden alone. Confide in someone, talk it out, it will make life more bearable.”

Feng Ya could tell that Yin Tao was a very understanding child. If she knew about Feng Jing’s experience, she would probably share his load and face the challenges with him.

After walking out of the bedroom, Feng Jing returned to the sofa in the living room. As there was no extra bedding in the house, Feng Jing could only find a blanket and make do with it..
