Chapter 570: Xia Moyan Under the Swing

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xia Ling was still sick. Under Lin Yunan’s care, she ate a sandwich and medicine for her cold and forced herself to attend the event.

There were many people in the live-stream room including the emcee, staff, and audience. She tried to look more energetic as she answered the emcee’s questions and tried her best to be focused, but gradually, she fell into a trance.

The emcee smiled sweetly. “Everyone of us will miss someone at certain moments of our lives. Xiao Ling, are you missing anyone recently?”

She subconsciously replied. “I’m homesick... I miss my brother.” If Xia Moyan were here, would other people stop bullying her? She heard that the Xia Family was very powerful. Could they protect her from harm?

The emcee said, “I haven’t heard you say that you have a brother before.”

“I was referring to my cousin in the countryside.” She corrected herself. However, she mocked herself silently. Her brother wanted their relationship to be so secretive because he probably did not want others to find out, so what was the use of thinking about him? She should just rely on herself.

Finally, she completed the event.

After Lin Yunan gave her some time off, she immediately fell asleep when she reached home.

At midnight, she suddenly woke up. In between the curtains, there was a faint light.

She pulled the curtains open and looked down. On the courtyard of the first floor, there was a man sitting on the swing beside the ivy-covered red wall. He was dressed in white, and moonlight sprinkled on him. It was very quiet. “Brother...” She mumbled. Could it be that he really appeared at night because she said she wanted to see him in the day?

She grabbed a coat and hurried down the stairs.

When she reached the courtyard, sure enough, Xia Moyan was there. The wind in the summer night was a bit cold, but he was wearing a very thin white shirt and appeared unaffected by the weather.

He turned around to look at Xia Ling with a pair of calm eyes.

“Why are you here?” Xia Ling asked him.

“I heard that you wanted to see me.” His voice was as calm as ever.

Xia Ling finally understood that this person was extraordinary. He was probably able to know whatever she said. However, a few hours ago, she really missed him, but when she really saw him and his indifferent appearance, she felt that she had nothing much to say to him. They were siblings but did not grow up together. She was not as close to him as she was with Wei Shaoyin and Lin Yunan. She said in a low voice, “Thank you for him. In the afternoon... I just had a random thought. I don’t really have anything important to talk to you about. Sorry for giving you more trouble.”

Xia Moyan stood up from the swing.

The silver moonlight fell on his body.

“Come here.” He said.

Xia Ling gave him a confused look.

He pointed at the swing. “Sit.”

She didn’t know what he wanted to do and sat on the swing. This was the first time she saw the swing after she moved into this villa. The rattan chair and armrests were very comfortable as she swayed back and forth.

Xia Moyan walked behind her and lightly pushed the swing.

“When I was young, I always wanted a sister to play with. I wanted to push the swing for her.” Xia Moyan’s voice was heard along with the creaking sounds of the rattan swing. “Later, my mother really gave birth to a girl. That was you, Xiao Ling. However, I couldn’t play with you. My father said that you had the fate of a phoenix and was destined to be alone. You had to leave and be far away from your family... as far as possible.”

Xia Ling did not think that he would talk to her about these things at this time, so she softly acknowledged him.

As Xia Moyan pushed the swing, he said, “My father abandoned you, but in reality, I knew where you were. However, I could only look at you from afar. I watched as you were bullied by the children of another family, sent to an orphanage, learned how to fight and occupied the swing.”

Recalling the past, Xia Ling felt somewhat nostalgic. “That’s true. At that time, I thought that my life was very bitter and difficult, but thinking about it now, it was also a form of happiness.”

Xia Moyan said, “Sometimes when I saw you sitting alone on the swing in the orphanage, I really wanted to go over and push it for you. I wonder how it would feel like to push your small back. Would the swing sway to a high distance? Would you giggle in happiness? However, I did not dare...”

The rattan swing continued to creak.

The silver moonlight sprinkled on the ground.

Xia Moyan’s body was slender, and his shadow intertwined with her tiny figure on the ground.

He continued on. “The people of Buddhism know how powerful fate can be. Once it was decided that you were destined to be alone, that was it. I could not touch you, not even for a moment. Because if I did, earth-shattering disasters would occur.”

Xia Ling replied, “I see.” She did not really know much about Buddhism. At this time, she felt that most of them were just imaginary fears, but she knew that her brother was not lying to her.

Xia Moyan said, “I asked my father if I could ever meet with you. He said that it was possible only in your next life. Only in your next life would you rise from the ashes due to your phoenix destiny, and there may be a turn for the better. I asked my father if you were able to achieve nirvana. He was quiet for a long time before telling me that everyone who had a phoenix destiny in our family never could achieve nirvana.”

His voice was as calm as usual, but Xia Ling could hear the severity in it.

No one was able to reach nirvana?

This meant that...

“At that time, you could never get the chance to push the swing for me, and I could never meet with anyone in the family, right?”

“Yes.” Xia Moyan said. “Later, I stopped secretly going to the orphanage to see you. I was afraid that you may accidentally recognize me and something bad might happen. I would rather not get the chance to push you on the swing if it means that you can live peacefully.”

His voice was so peaceful.

However, Xia Ling’s emotions were turbulent.

“Brother...” She whispered, placed her feet on the ground and turned around to look at him.

Under the moonlight, Xia Moyan’s expression was calm. “In the end, you were adopted by Pei Ziheng, and he made you a Diva. I was really happy, and so was father. Because this meant that although I couldn’t be close to you, I could frequently read about you on the news. Father, mother and I... All of us were paying attention to you.”

“What kind of people were father and mother?” Xia Ling asked.

“Very good people.” A quiet smile appeared on Xia Moyan’s peaceful face. “Father was very strict with me because I was his successor and would ask me to stand outside in a snowy day to memorize the astrology chart. However, he was very good to you. He collected a lot of dowry for you. Every time he went abroad, he would collect precious gems, antiques, and islands for you. You know, Xiao Ling, you are already richer than all of your enemies. Even the Pei Family and Li Family could not compare to how much you are worth.” There was a faint arrogance in his words.

Xia Ling whispered. “I don’t want any dowry. I only want... the people I like and the people who like me to live well.”
