Xia Yu sat on the small sofa, holding a cup of hot orange tea, his eyes still red, and confessed everything that happened between him and Lu Zhao.
It starts from Lu Zhao discovering Xu Zhan's "extramarital affair", to Lu Zhao becoming his lover, and then to Lu Zhao proposing to him in the valley.
What else can be hidden
The little tricks he and Xu Zhan had were just like showing off in front of their brothers and sisters.
He had no doubt that Xia Jin and Xu Ping had already grasped the whole story. Even if they didn't know everything, they at least knew about 70% of it.
Xia Yu spoke slowly. He recalled the day when Lu Zhao proposed to him. The wind in the valley was so cold that frost even formed on people's eyelashes. Lu Zhao's eyes were as blue as a lake on a rainy day, and he stared at him without blinking.
"I know I'm stupid. I thought I was taking Lu Zhao as my lover, and that I was avenging the arrow I shot at me that year. But in the final analysis, I have never let him go." Xia Yu lowered his head, and the orange tea in his hand exuded a warm fruit and tea aroma, which made people feel a little calm. "I am not going to marry him just because I divorced Xu Zhan. I haven't forgotten how much he went wrong. Sometimes when he was working next to me, I looked back at him and even hated him a little. But I can't help loving him."
There was no way he couldn't love Lu Zhao.
He has no shortage of suitors, each of them is handsome, outstanding, humorous and considerate. As long as he wants, he can play around and indulge in the pleasures of life.
But these people are not Lu Zhao.
Not the one he wanted.
He said softly, "Brother, I'm really sorry. Xu Zhan is really a good person. The choice you made for me was not wrong. I have never regretted marrying him. He is very gentle to me and we have a harmonious relationship. I have also thought about living with him for the rest of my life, so that you and my family can rest assured."
Xia Jin remained silent while Xia Yu was talking, almost like a gray shadow on the wallpaper, tall, quiet, and oppressive.
Until this moment, his expression changed slightly. He glanced at Xia Yu and said, "But you just don't love Xu Zhan, right? Not even for a moment."
Xia Yu couldn't lie.
He shook his head with difficulty.
Xia Jin asked again, "Does he love you?"
Xia Yu was stuck by the question, he didn't know whether he should answer or not.
But his silence already told Xia Jin the answer.
Xia Jin felt a little frustrated. He once thought that he had chosen a good marriage for his brother, a well-educated and well-mannered husband, and Xia Yu would live a happy life.
But it turned out that from the very beginning, Xia Yu and Xu Zhan had never had love. They lived a good life and respected each other, but that was all.
But he was unwilling to hand his brother over to Lu Zhao just like that.
Lu Zhao doesn't deserve it.
He was also surprised when he knew that Lu Zhao was Xia Yu's underground lover, but so what? He didn't care what kind of suffering Lu Zhao had gone through, he only cared about his brother.
The clock on the wall was ticking.
Xia Yu sat on the sofa restlessly, like a prisoner waiting for his final verdict.
He was in a mess now and didn't know what answer he should get from Xia Jin to feel relieved.
Does he love Lu Zhao? Yes, he does.
But he loved Lu Zhao to the point of risking his own life, going against everyone in his family and even hurting his own brother. He had lost that frivolity.
