"Grandma, we both cherish this relationship, and we will take good care of each other." Shen Yan and Nan Li looked at each other in surprise. But soon Shen Yan held Nan Li's hand and looked at his grandmother firmly.

Grandma smiled and nodded, then said seriously: "Ahao, I believe you. For so long, I have seen how good you have been to Ali. He has a hard life and has been without parents since he was a child. My health is not good either, and I have always been a burden to him. If I am gone in the future, please treat him well. He is the most affectionate child."

As he said this, he patted Shen Yan's hand.

"Grandma, don't worry. A Li is the most important person in my life. I will not let him suffer any injustice, not even I can." Shen Yan's eyes were full of determination.

"Okay, okay, okay," Grandma couldn't help but nodded. Looking at them, tears flashed in her eyes. She knew that the two children really loved each other, and she just hoped that he would never let Ah Li down.

"Grandma..." Nan Li's eyes were filled with tears. He didn't expect that his grandma already knew about the relationship between him and Ahao.

But seeing her supportive look, he felt relieved.

He hugged his grandmother gently, and she patted him on the back.

Shen Yan also laughed when he saw this scene.

In City A, Chen Yue and a few of his friends had been partying outside for a few days, but he had to go home because his parents came back.

In the living room, his parents brought back a bunch of gifts, and as soon as they saw him, they immediately came forward and hugged him in their arms.

Chen Yue smiled. He knew that his parents had always loved him, but their warm hugs always made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He struggled to free himself from their arms and saw a pile of presents in the middle of the living room.

"These are for you and your brother, Yueyue!" Mom said excitedly, pointing at the gifts.

"Thank you, Mom and Dad!" Chen Yue said gratefully.

"You're welcome, Yueyue. It's just that did you have a conflict with your brother?" Dad asked gently.

When Chen Yue heard this question, he paused as he was opening the gift and his expression became a little gloomy.

Just by looking at his parents' worried expressions, he returned to normal.

"No, my brother and I are doing fine." Chen Yue said to them with a smile.

"That's good, Yueyue, you've grown up now, and I won't say much else to you. Just remember how good your brother is to you." Chen's father's words were like a small stone thrown into a calm lake. Chen Yue's smile was a little stiff, but he still nodded firmly.

"I know, Dad. My brother has always been very good to me, and I am very grateful to him."

Dad looked at him, a gleam of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and then he patted his shoulder gently.

"That's good, go open your presents."

Chen Yue lowered his head again and began to open the gifts.

His fingers slid gently on the ribbon, and every time he opened a gift, his face showed a surprise. His parents sat on the sofa, looking at him, their faces filled with happy smiles.

However, just as they were immersed in this warmth, a tall figure walked in from the door. It was Chen Yue's brother, Chen Jing (adopted).

Chen Jing looked at Chen Yue and his father and mother in the living room, with a hint of complicated emotions flashing in his eyes.

He walked up to Chen Yue, looked at the gift in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that you, Xiaoyue, have received a lot of gifts that you like!"

Chen Yue raised his head and looked at Chen Hao, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He wanted to say something, but in the end he just smiled and said nothing.

Chen Jing looked at him, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

He reached out and gently patted Chen Yue's shoulder.

"Happy birthday, Xiaoyue."

Chen Yue felt the touch on his shoulder and his body stiffened, turning around without leaving a trace.

Chen Jing looked at his hand, and for a moment he was at a loss. He had never thought that Xiao Yue would have such a strong reaction to his touch.

"Thank you, brother." He whispered, and then sat next to Chen's mother.

At this moment, looking at Chen Yue's back, Chen Jing felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.

A huge stone pressed down on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

At night, after having dinner with his parents, Chen Yue went to the bar with his friends.

Today is his birthday, the lights in the bar are dim and charming, and the music is deafening.

Chen Yue and his friends moved among the crowd, enjoying this night that belonged to them. Their laughter and cheers blended in with the noise in the bar.

However, in this joyful atmosphere, Chen Yue's heart was shrouded in a faint melancholy.

He couldn't help but think of the awkward encounter with Chen Jing at dinner. The brother who was once so close to him now felt so strange to him.

Chen Yue couldn't help but sigh, picked up the glass and drank it all. His friends noticed his mood change and gathered around to ask about the situation.

"What's wrong, Mr. Chen? Today is your birthday, you should be happy." A buddy patted him on the shoulder and said.

Chen Yue shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Nothing, maybe I drank too much."

They saw Chen Yue's unfriendly expression, looked at each other, and didn't ask any more questions.

"Come on, come on, Mr. Chen, let's drink." Another friend raised his glass and tried to change the subject.

Chen Yue nodded, raised the glass and drank it all.

As they sang and made noises, Chen Yue drank a few glasses of wine, frowned, and planned to go to the bathroom.

But his steps were a little unsteady and he almost fell, and he happened to lean against the wall.

"Mr. Chen, are you okay?" Seeing this, everyone gathered around and asked with concern.

Chen Yue waved his hands to indicate that he was fine. He calmed himself down, took a deep breath, and prepared to move on.

However, at this moment, the bathroom door slowly opened and a familiar figure walked out.

Chen Yue was stunned. He didn't expect to meet Chen Jing again here.

"Xiao Yue." Chen Jing's eyes were full of worry.

"Why are you here?" Chen Yue looked at Chen Jing in surprise, his voice full of surprise.

"I'm a little worried, so..." Chen Jing was interrupted by Chen Yue before he could finish his words.

"Brother, I'm an adult now and I have my own circle. You just need to take care of yourself. You should go back earlier to be with your girlfriend." Chen Yue didn't want to hear his concern anymore. He was afraid that his heart, which had not yet calmed down, would rekindle again.

Chen Jing looked at Chen Yue's indifferent back and felt a pang of pain in his heart.

He tried desperately to brainwash himself. Even though he knew it was impossible for the two of them to be together, he could not let go of his concern for Chen Yue.

He couldn't help but take a few steps forward and tried to grab Chen Yue, but he cleverly avoided him.
