Yan Shi stood there, plunged into a trance. His fury had been fueled by his concerns for Ah Dai's safety. Throughout their journey, he had come to see Ah Dai as his own brother. How could he not care about Ah Dai with such profound feelings? When the cold gleam was thrust at Ah Dai, his heart had clenched tight. It had been a relief to see Ah Dai gain the upper hand, but then he had unexpectedly embraced the woman who sought to kill him. That was why Yan Shi had erupted. Now, seeing the pain on Ah Dai's face, Yan Shi realized that he had paid too little attention to Ah Dai over the past month. Bing's death had impacted Ah Dai even more severely than he had imagined. Ah Dai was inherently simple and, facing such a heavy blow, naturally found it hard to recover.
Yan Li walked up to his elder brother, appearing much more composed. In a low voice, he said, "Let him cry. It will ease his heart a bit."
