The study was discussing and talking in a row. The faint warmth contrasted with the cold winter outside the window, making the mood involuntarily settle down, but I still couldn't help looking out the window repeatedly. Everyone couldn't sit still with the contradictory feeling of expectation and anxiety.

Chris Evans glanced over Lanli. He was reading a book, and seemed very devoted, and was not affected by what was about to happen today; but he unexpectedly noticed that Lanli seemed to have not read the page for a long time, and was slightly stunned.

Such a small accident made Chris stunned.

Chris suddenly realized one thing, a very important thing: Lanli has always been Edith's relative most valued, and Lanli has always maintained Edith's position. Edith is Lanli's sister, and Lanli is Edith's younger brother. The bond between them is the deepest.

Therefore, Renli is willing to confront him for Edith, and at the same time he is willing to extend an olive branch for Edith - even if his impulse and rudeness destroy their relationship and even throw all the responsibility down on Renli, he never completely broke up.

He could not imagine the weight Renly carried, but he knew that things were not that simple.

Taking a deep breath, Chris stood up and took steps towards Renli - he was still a little timid. Renli's powerful aura always made him mess up, as if he could see through all his thoughts with just one line of sight. But today, he came to Renli without any hesitation and unswervingly, and then sat down next to Renli.

Renley looked up and cast a look at Chris. His dull eyes made Chris nervous uncontrollably, and he couldn't help but feel dry.

Chris moved his position slightly to the side and opened some distance. It seemed that physical space could relieve his tension slightly - but in fact, he did not. He quietly changed his sitting position and tried to find a comfortable position, but instead revealed his anxiety.

"Sorry." Chris didn't know how to speak, but he still spoke unswervingly. He could sense that Renly's eyes fell on him, and his throat began to itch. "Sorry, I mean..." Chris paused for a moment and sorted out his thoughts.

Then, Chris turned sideways and faced Renli head-on, plucking up the courage to meet Renli's gaze.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't vent all the negative emotions on you. I'm worried about Edith, and you're also worried about Edith. We all hope Edith will return safely, and we all hope Edith can have happiness, and most importantly, we all love Edith."

Chris' expression was very, very serious. He thought Renly would interrupt him, and then mocked his words with a condescending look:

"Love", he used this word again and communicated with Lanli with this theme. This seemed to be the most insignificant bargaining chip, but it was also the only bargaining chip he had.

But I was a little surprised. Lanli did not interrupt him, nor did she have too many expressions. She just listened quietly. The calmness made Chris feel uneasy. Lanli had such ability, and that calm and determined aura always made others feel panicked, and even needed words.

Chris' scalp was slightly numb, but he did not retreat, and continued to face Renli's gaze, and spoke intently and seriously.

"I shifted all the faults and responsibilities to you, which is not fair to you, nor to Edith, because I should know her character. After all, I was trapped in my own thoughts and couldn't get rid of them, and then I tried to attack everyone around me...I shouldn't be like this."

The thoughts surged in his mind, but in the end, they didn't know how to organize and express them. They clearly had countless ideas, but they just squeezed out a few words dryly. He couldn't even convince himself, so how could he convince Renli?

"sorry."

This is the only word Chris can say, repeated over and over again, but cannot find more meaning; Chris tried to find fluctuations in Lanli's eyes, trying to judge Lanli's thoughts and thoughts, but he failed, and he couldn't find anything in his calm eyes.

This frustrated Chris a little.

But he still didn't leave.

After a moment of silence, Lan Li's voice came over, "Don't feel sorry, because that love is the only bargaining chip you can continue to fight. Unless you want to give up."

"No, of course not!" Chris said eagerly, because the sound was a little loud, so that Matthew also cast a look at him. Chris became more and more nervous - just one Renley was tricky enough, and if he added a Matthew, he might not be able to withstand it.

Chris leaned forward slightly and expressed his thoughts eagerly, "I know that as long as I still love her, this worry and entanglement cannot end, because this is her, and also, this is me. The differences between us, our persistence, are the most important. I don't know how things should be solved and how they will develop, but I know that I still want to struggle and I still want to protect her. True love should not only be sweet and happiness, but also bitter, pain, and torture. We must learn to accept it."

Renley stared at Chris quietly, and he finally understood Edith now. She said that Chris taught her how to love her.

Whether it is Renley, Edith, including Arthur, let alone Elf, they don’t know how to “lover”, because the Hall family did not teach this course, they all maintain their private space reservedly and indifferently, and then carefully hide themselves with masks, but when love really comes, stumbles and stumbles, like a newborn baby, staggering in a daze.

Renli was lucky. He met Rooney. They had too many similarities in their ideas and ideas, and naturally got together. But even so, it took them nearly two years to take each other's hands. This was destined not an easy topic.

Now it seems that Edith is also a blessing to meet Chris - maybe he is clumsy, maybe he is selfish, but he is also pure and real. The moth-flying enthusiasm and madness give love a different light and attract Edith.

For the first time, Lanley began to think seriously. Maybe Chris was the right person; however, Lanley did not reveal his thoughts at all, because he didn't want Chris to be too early, and he was not sure what would happen in the future. What if Edith still decided to return to the front line? Then, can their relationship withstand the test again and again? What choice would Edith make?

So, just "maybe".

Lanli said calmly, "So, have you accepted it?"

Chris smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "I am still studying, but I think I should never be completely relieved. Worrying about her is also a part of my life."

Lan Li raised her eyebrows gently, revealing a smile-like expression, which made Chris' cheeks slightly hot - this scene felt a bit strange, as if she was saying sweet words while "meeting parents", but she was caught, and the atmosphere began to become awkward.

Chris secretly looked at the expression in Lanli's eyes and tried to detect the emotions at the corners of Lanli's eyebrows, but before he could even take a closer look, he was interrupted by the sound.

"Here you come."

Chris stood up suddenly and then realized that Lan Li was next to him, and his movements were too sudden and too rude. Then he fell down again. The change between standing and sitting showed the ups and downs of emotions to the fullest, making Chris even more embarrassed.

But now, Chris had no time to worry about Renly. His mind was filled with Edith. On the one hand, he was angry with her adventures, and on the other hand, he was glad that she was coming back; on the other hand, he suppressed his longing, and on the other hand, he was looking forward to solving the problem... Those conflicting and entangled emotions collided head-on and exploded, so that he didn't know what to do, and he was hesitating back and forth in the same place.

Chris didn't even notice: he was the only one who stood up, and everyone else seemed very "calm", which also made him stand out.

Then, Chris could no longer control himself, and walked out of the study and walked towards the entrance, but stopped at the door because of the timidity. Then, Philip opened the door and Edith's figure appeared in front of him.

After taking three steps, Chris rushed forward, hugged Edith in his arms fiercely, and thousands of words stuck in his throat, unable to make any sound, let alone speak, and he could only tighten his arms and tighten them again. The agitation made him feel extremely embarrassed.

"Edise Hall, you have made me regret once, don't let me regret it again. I don't want to lose you. Hell God, do you understand?"

Chris's choked voice buzzed in his chest, and then he heard Edith's familiar voice ringing with a faint smile, "I'm about to breathe."

She always does this.

The light smile was a little relaxed, and it seemed that it had not changed.

Chris let go of Edith in a hurry and tried to get out of the position, but he was reluctant to let it go, but in the end he took a little step back a little, making room, allowing Edith to enter the room - that simple step was as difficult as coming from hell to heaven.

Then you can see Edith raise his right hand, look over Chris' shoulder, waved his hand and greeted him, "Hey, I'm back."

Looking along Edith's gaze, Lan Li stood at the entrance of the study with her tall figure, gently stooping her head, "Welcome home."
