Ye Xixi pressed forward, seizing the opportunity: "Heber, actually, in this world, besides romantic love, there are many other emotions worth cherishing, like friendship, such as the twenty years with Arno; like family bonds..."
"Heber, if you are willing, I can be your family, be your sister, alright? That way, we can be together too, can we?"
Ye Xixi is not a heartless person. She doesn't comfort people, yet she also disdains lying to them.
Heber's affection, indulgence, sacrifice, and patience for her, she sees it all and holds it in her heart.
For him, Ye Xixi does have feelings, but it's more of gratitude or sympathy. She wants to care for him like a friend and accompany him like family, only it has nothing to do with love.
"Sister, family?" Heber's eyes emitted a confusion and innocence, like a child puzzled by unknown things, yet still full of hope: "Can we really be together like this? For a lifetime?"
