The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

Ye Linyuan was full of doubts, but seeing that Luo Qingge had no intention of explaining, he had no choice but to give up for the time being and talk about it later, or ask Luo Qingxuan later.

It's clear that Luo Qingxuan cares a lot about Luo Qingge; she'll probably find out.

Glug~

Just then, a gurgling sound broke the silence. Ye Linyuan looked at Luo Qingge, whose face was pale, and asked with some heartache.

"Little pigeon, are you hungry? Haven't you had lunch yet?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingge finally shifted her gaze from the snow-white sheets, looking at Ye Linyuan with a puzzled expression.

"Hungry? Is the little pigeon hungry?"

Ye Linyuan nodded, still as patient as he was when he was a child.

"Yes, your stomach is growling, so you're hungry."

"Hmm, that little pigeon must be hungry."

Luo Qingge looked at Ye Linyuan, nodded slightly, and then lowered her head again, looking at the snow-white sheets, once again lost in her own little world.

Seeing this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough, the little pigeon's condition was not right.

When I was little, I thought she was just too shy. Plus, she was abducted and traumatized, which is why she was so quiet. She would only talk and smile when I was around.

But right now, the little pigeon's condition is clearly not what a normal person should be like.

A normal person, when hungry, would naturally look for food to fill their stomach, but she seemed to lack this awareness, and didn't even know if she was hungry...

It seems I need to have a serious talk with Luo Qingxuan.

"Little pigeon, since you're hungry, shall I get you something to eat? Don't worry, your A-Yuan is a great cook, I guarantee you'll be hooked after just one bite."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Linyuan clearly felt the little pigeon grip his hand tighter, and upon closer inspection, he noticed that her slender knuckles had become much paler.

After a moment's thought, Ye Linyuan immediately understood the situation and quickly offered words of comfort.

"Little pigeon, don't overthink it. Like I said, I will always be with you."

Luo Qingge raised her head, her eyes glistening with tears, looking at Ye Linyuan with a pleading expression.

"Ah Yuan, could you please not let go of Little Pigeon? Little Pigeon wants to stay with Ah Yuan forever."

Seeing Luo Qingge's pale face, Ye Linyuan felt his heart breaking. He forced a smile, and naturally reached out to pick her up in a princess carry, walking out of the ward.

When they were little, whenever Little Pigeon started to space out, he would hold her like this.

Luo Qingge was slightly taken aback when she was suddenly lifted up in a princess carry. Feeling the warm embrace she had been longing for, a slight smile appeared on her lips once again.

She loved A Yuan's embrace, loved it so much, because A Yuan's embrace was so, so, so warm!

Outside the ward corridor, Luo Qingxuan and Leng Qinghan hurriedly went to greet the two people who came out of the room.

Especially Luo Qingxuan, who looked with joy at her younger sister who had fallen asleep in Ye Linyuan's arms, two lines of hot tears slid down her cheeks.

How long has it been? How long has it been since Qingge slept so soundly? In her memory, the last time Qingge slept so soundly was before she was kidnapped.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Ye Linyuan.

"You filthy scoundrel, please, never let go of Qingge, okay?"

Her voice was almost pleading. The person she felt most sorry for in her life was her younger sister, Luo Qingge. If she could, she really wanted to suffer in Luo Qingge's place.

But she couldn't do it!

Therefore, she can only do everything in her power to fulfill Qingge's dream, and she is willing to pay any price!

Leng Qinghan's gaze softened considerably, especially when he looked at Luo Qingge, as if they shared a similar plight.

They are all pitiful people who can't get what they want...

Ye Linyuan looked at Luo Qingge in his arms, lovingly pressed his lips to her forehead, and said softly.

"Little pigeon, don't worry, unless you let go voluntarily, I will absolutely not let go of you."

Then Ye Linyuan looked at Luo Qingxuan.

"Luo Qingxuan, tell me what you know. What exactly happened to Little Pigeon, and why is she so weak?"

Upon hearing Ye Linyuan's question, Luo Qingxuan's expression hardened, and she fell silent.

She didn't know what to say. Should she tell Ye Linyuan that Qingge was dying?

She really didn't want the two of them, who had just reunited, to be separated forever so soon!

"If you don't tell me, I'll ask Little Pigeon myself later. She's so well-behaved and listens to me, she'll definitely tell me."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingxuan sighed softly, looked at Luo Qingge in Ye Linyuan's arms with heartache, and then spoke.

"Did you know? Qingge has had severe autism since she was a child. The doctor said that if someone with autism like her can't overcome it, she will live a muddled life. So, Qingge has always been the most beloved little princess of our Luo family. As long as we can make her happy, we will try to get even the stars in the sky for her."

Ye Linyuan's brows were almost knotted together. He never expected that Little Pigeon's situation would be so complicated. He originally thought that she was just naturally a bit slow, but he didn't expect that she had autism, and it sounded very serious.

Ignoring Ye Linyuan's frown, Luo Qingxuan continued.

"That year, Qingge was ten years old and I was twelve. To make her happy, I secretly took her away from home to the amusement park. But I accidentally lost her. I searched and searched, from noon to night, but I couldn't find Qingge. Later, I found out by checking the surveillance footage that human traffickers had kidnapped her."

"Do you know how much I regretted it back then! I regretted not keeping a closer eye on her! I regretted secretly taking Qingge out to play!"

"Ten days later, Qingge returned, but she became even more silent and refused to speak to us anymore. However, she kept repeating two words: Ayuan."

"You know what? Every time I hear Qingge mention your name, I get insanely jealous. It's not just me, my father and my older sister are the same way."

"Ye Linyuan, I hate you, my whole family hates you!"

"We are clearly her family, we have given her everything, but our feelings for her are not as deep as those for someone who only spent less than 10 days with her!"

After saying that, Luo Qingxuan looked at Ye Linyuan with undisguised jealousy in her eyes.

She was truly, truly jealous of Ye Linyuan. Why was it that this scoundrel could win Qingge's heart, while she couldn't even have the slightest bit of hope?

Standing next to Luo Qingxuan, Leng Qinghan looked at Luo Qingxuan with a hint of pity in his eyes.

Even though she's always been emotionally detached, it's clear from a normal person's perspective that anyone who has devoted everything to someone for so many years since birth, only to have it all less than ten days of companionship from another, would be insanely jealous...

"Later, my father used the Luo family's connections to quickly find out everything and learned that you and Qingge were together at the time. From that moment on, I hated you to the bone and wished I could kill you and take your place."

"But I know even more clearly that if I kill you, Qingge will definitely break down and hate me for the rest of her life."

"So from that day on, for the past 11 years, I've been secretly following you with Qingge from time to time, from when you were in junior high to high school, and then to when you went abroad to study. For at least three days a week, I've been secretly following you with Qingge, rain or shine, without fail!"

Ye Linyuan's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

So, the little pigeon had always been by my side all along...

Wait!

Ye Linyuan was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened instantly, and he glared at Luo Qingxuan with annoyance.

If he felt sorry for Luo Qingxuan after hearing the first half of what she said, then the second half made him feel terrible.

Doesn't that mean I've been followed by this stalker for at least half of the past eleven years?

Is this woman out of her mind?!

No, it's one thing for this woman to have her own illness, but what's most despicable is that she also corrupted his innocent little pigeon!
