Chapter 105: Staying Out of the Matter (5)
Was he too tough? Zhou Yan couldn't help but think so. He knew that Zhou Xinxin should have her own privacy, but as a brother, what shouldn't he know? That's why he was angry about Zhou Xinxin's hesitation and silence, because no one dared to resist him like this. Of course, Yinyin was an exception, and it depends on the person. But for Zhou Yan, who was used to having his way and would not tolerate anyone other than Yinyin ignoring him, it still took some time for him to accept that even though she was his biological sister.
As if thinking of something, Zhou Yan turned around and walked towards the door of the room again, opened the door without hesitation and stepped out...
An unknown amount of time had passed before Zhou Xinxin sat on the bed, her hands wrapped around her knees and her head buried in them. She was completely unaware of the passage of time until a sound came from the bedside that made her slowly raise her hazy eyes. When she saw the person sitting beside the bed, Zhou Xinxin couldn't help but open her eyes wide...
"Drink this."
Zhou Yan was holding a small tray with a bowl of steaming soup on it. He handed the bowl and the tray to Zhou Xinxin in a cold tone. However, Zhou Xinxin looked as if she hadn't heard anything. She just stared at Zhou Yan with wide eyes, an expression of complete disbelief, as if she was extremely shocked by Zhou Yan's reappearance.
"You want to feed me?"
Since ancient times, Zhou Yan ignored Zhou Xinxin's attitude at this time. He took back the tray and placed it beside the bed. He picked up the bowl, stirred it with a spoon, and blew it gently. His movements seemed to be skillful and there was no ambiguity at all. Zhou Xinxin was stunned. When had she seen Zhou Yan like this before? Yes, Zhou Xinxin was sure that she had never seen Zhou Yan so attentive, but she could still know from Zhou Yan's skillful movements that someone must have enjoyed this kind of treatment from Zhou Yan, and there was no need to guess that there was only one person.
The temperature of the soup in the bowl in his hand felt just right, so Zhou Yan held it out to Zhou Xinxin, scooped a spoonful of soup with a spoon and put it to Zhou Xinxin's mouth. Zhou Xinxin looked at Zhou Yan woodenly, then opened her mouth and leaned forward to drink the soup. The temperature was just right, not hot at all. Zhou Yan fed Zhou Xinxin repeatedly, and Zhou Xinxin also repeatedly held the soup in her mouth and drank it, until the soup in the bowl was gone...
"Are you feeling better?"
Zhou Yan asked after putting the empty bowl back on the tray, and Zhou Xinxin nodded woodenly.
"Then take a good rest today."
After saying that, Zhou Yan stood up with the tray. Zhou Xinxin immediately raised her head and looked at him. She happened to meet Zhou Yan's gaze, which she had not seen for a long time. Although it was cold, Zhou Xinxin still felt a little tenderness in it. Zhou Xinxin knew that the only person Zhou Yan would look at with such eyes was herself. Although she could not be compared with Yin Yin, Zhou Xinxin was already satisfied. At least no matter how cold Zhou Yan was in the eyes of outsiders, he would show this unique and rare gentle side to her.
"Don't make me repeat myself, just lie down and rest."
The tone was close to commanding, but it was filled with rare doting. How many people had seen this side of Zhou Yan? Without comparing with Yin Yin, she could truly enjoy this unique side of Zhou Yan. Thinking of this, Zhou Xinxin realized that this was a privilege that only she had. She looked at Zhou Yan quietly, with a smile on her face that Zhou Yan had never seen before, which made Zhou Yan a little stunned.
"what's on your mind?"
Except for Zhou Yan, who was only patient with Yin Yin, everyone couldn't help themselves when they saw this scene which they had never seen before.
"I was thinking, it's been a long time since I've seen such a considerate side of you, brother."
Instead of using the distant name of "Royal Brother", he used the most intimate name of "Brother". A feeling of long-lost and unfamiliarity surged into Zhou Yan's heart . When was the last time he heard this intimate name? It seemed like a long time ago, but it also seemed like it was only yesterday.
Looking down at Zhou Xinxin, Zhou Yan sat down again, sitting on the bed, stretching out his free hand to touch the familiar face; feeling the warmth of Zhou Xinxin coming from his palm, an inexplicable sense of guilt suddenly occupied Zhou Yan's cold heart, gently stroking the back of Zhou Xinxin's head and pulling her towards him, and then gently kissed her forehead...
Zhou Xinxin had been stunned since she was touched by Zhou Yan. After she got used to it, she was stunned again by his sudden action. This action made her at a loss because she had never experienced it before; it seemed so unreal, but Zhou Xinxin didn't find it disgusting at all, perhaps because she felt that this was not love but family affection, a kind of family affection from Zhou Yan that she had never experienced before; although Zhou Yan's behavior brought Zhou Xinxin an immense shock, Zhou Xinxin still noticed it. If it were the previous Zhou Yan, he would never do such a thing, but now she truly felt it, and there was only one reason, that is, Zhou Yan had changed.
"Crying and sadness are not suitable for you. Smiling and being willful are the only things that suit you. Do you understand?"
Zhou Yan's tone was much softer than usual, unlike his previous coldness. It sounded like an order, a pity, or a warning. His unique and deep voice sounded so gentle to Zhou Xinxin. Suddenly, Zhou Xinxin felt her eyes moisten. She slowly approached Zhou Yan, threw herself into his arms, and sobbed softly. She didn't know whether she was happy or sad...
