An Xiaxia moved away from his touch . This An Yibei in front of her was frighteningly strange .

That irrepressible guy had been utterly defeated .
“Brother… I…” An Xiaxia choked on her sobs and An Yibei’s hand froze in midair as he looked into her eyes .
Outside, the moon was bright and there weren’t many stars . The moonlight poured in, the color as soft as water in a lagoon .
An Yibei drew back his hand and sat on the floor, leaning against the bed . He gave off a dispirited air .
His breathing was shallow and irregular . He tried his best to bring it back to normal, which took him a long while . His voice was still tremulous when he spoke again . “I’m sorry . ”
For as long as An Xiaxia could remember, An Yibei had always been this nonchalant person to the point of being obstinate . Even when he did something wrong, he would never apologize . Instead, he would butter her up and make her forgive him willingly .
But now, he was saying sorry .

How hopeless must he feel to say that?
“Don’t apologize to me . It’s not your fault…” An Xiaxia reached out to tug at his shirt . An Yibei chuckled . “The hell with being an elite lawyer… the hell with bosom friends… how f**ked up is this world!” Agitated, he swore, which was very rare for him .
An Xiaxia cried as he kept berating himself . “I… I’m calling Sheng Yize now… Brother, please don’t make me break up with him… I – I know he’ll come up with something… He’s that awesome . I’m sure of it…”
She fumbled her phone out while An Yibei watched in silence .
It didn’t go through . A voice told her that the number she had dialed was switched off .
Defeated, An Xiaxia put her phone back . An Yibei then pulled her into his arms and let her wipe her eyes and nose on his creased shirt .
“Don’t cry… It’s my fault . I was too hot-headed . I won’t make you do anything . ” He consoled An Xiaxia in a low voice .

He thought his heart was going to break when he saw his sister cry .
How could he make such a ridiculous request, asking his sister to break up with her boyfriend?
When An Xiaxia was in pain, the pain he felt was magnified a hundred times .
Had he not been this useless, things wouldn’t have turned out this way .
An Xiaxia lay her cheek against his shoulder and eventually fell asleep, exhausted by all the crying . An Yibei gently put her back on her bed and went to the bathroom to wet a hot towel to clean her face .
He glanced at the mirror in passing when he put the towel back . The man looking back at him had bloodshot eyes and had never looked more sorry .

Sheng Yize was tied up with this business until well past midnight . He had even met with the family of that doctor, who stubbornly refused to drop the case .
He was certain that Li Fanxing was behind this . Without hesitation, he drove to the Li family home .
It was after two in the morning when he got there .
Also in his car was Qi Yanxi, who had volunteered to come .
Qi Yanxi went to press the doorbell, but no one answered . Sheng Yize looked as if he had expected it all along . He opened the trunk and took out a pile of firecrackers .
“Nice move!” Qi Yanxi gave him a thumbs up .
“Cut the crap . Light them up . ”
The two then put the firecrackers down and lit them up . Immediately, the air was filled with the explosive and crackling noise of firecrackers .
“Damn . These people can actually sleep through that?” Qi Yanxi said sarcastically as he glanced at the front gate, which was still shut tight .
Sheng Yize smirked, then calmly took out another pile of firecrackers .
They were the special ones for the Spring Festival — they came with 2000 crackers!
“Shit! You’re sick! This thing is worse than a nuclear head!
