Chapter 349 Make a Bet

Bai Wanwan stopped walking; she planned to wait until Yin Mei had composed herself before going in.

But Yin Ze returned first. He walked to the door and heard crying inside. He turned to Bai Wanwan and asked, "Who bullied my sister?"

His voice wasn't loud, and he clearly didn't want the people inside to notice him.

Yoon-mi's crying was suppressed; she seemed to be trying very hard to control her voice.

"No one bullied Sister Yin Mei. It was Sister Yin Mei who rejected Kong Lai, but she seems very sad."

After listening, Yin Ze stood at the door, his fists clenched tightly, his eyes swirling with complex emotions.

"I shouldn't have let them get close to Sister Ci." He gritted his teeth, seemingly regretting not stopping them.

Bai Wanwan sighed, "Are you going to keep Sister Yin Mei locked up for the rest of your life? Although I don't know why you're stopping me, I can tell that Sister Yin Mei likes Kong Lai, and Kong Lai likes Sister Yin Mei too. Perhaps Sister Yin Mei is afraid that you'll stop her, which is why she rejected him."

Yin Ze suddenly turned to look at her. "Why would I stop her? Because once these males know that she is infertile, they will leave without hesitation."

Bai Wanwan was surprised, as if she subconsciously believed that males particularly valued female fertility.

So Yin Ze is right.

"So you're afraid she'll get hurt, which is why you've been preventing those males from getting close to your female sister?"

Yin Ze didn't say anything, but Bai Wanwan knew she was right.

"How will we know if we don't try?" Bai Wanwan blinked. "How about we make a bet?"

"What are we betting on?" Yin Ze asked reluctantly.

"Let's bet on whether he'll give up after he finds out that Yin Mei can't have children. If he gives up after finding out, it means he doesn't deserve Yin Mei's affection at all, and Yin Mei can let go sooner. But if things stay like this because it hasn't been discussed, Yin Mei will never be happy, and she'll always remember him."

Bai Wanwan paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, if he passes this test, you won't interfere anymore, okay?"

Yin Ze glanced at her, remained silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay. But what if he abandons my sister, or even hurts her... what will you say then?"

"I……"

Bai Wanwan felt like she had dug a hole for herself, but the siblings saved her life.

If she can help them in any way, she wants to give it her all.

"Then I'll take responsibility for making Sister Yinmei forget that guy, and in the future, I'll help her find a guy who truly loves her, how about that?"

"Can you find it?"

"Cough... I'll try my best, I'll try my best!"

Yin Ze frowned, not entirely convinced.

But when he heard the soft sobbing coming from the stone house, his brow furrowed and his mind was in turmoil.

They even... felt that they had done something wrong.

"Go and call Kong Lai back. I'll go in and talk to Sister Yin Mei."

After saying that, Bai Wanwan knocked on the door and went inside, regardless of what Yin Ze did.

"Sister Yin Mei, I'm coming in."

After saying that, she waited a while before pushing the door open and going in.

Yin Mei sat in the shadows, turning her head to wipe away tears.

"Sister Yin Mei, may I come and sit down for a while?"

"it is good."

Yin Mei's voice was muffled, as she tried her best to hide the fact that she had been crying.

After Bai Wanwan sat down next to her, she took her hand and whispered, "Sister Yin Mei, do you really like Kong Lai?"

Yin Mei instinctively denied it, saying, "I don't like him."

"You really don't like it?"

Yin Mei knew her eyes were still red, and what she said was completely unbelievable. Bai Wanwan held her hand, "Actually, I think Kong Lai is a very good male..."

"Yes, he's very kind. During the snowy season, he worried that I wouldn't have anything to eat, so he would come and bring me food. He would even sew me a fur skirt himself. Once, I fainted from a stomachache, and Yin Ze wasn't there. He was the one who took me to the tribal shaman..."

She recounted a string of good qualities Kong Lai had, and the more she spoke, the redder her eyes became.

"Yes, such a good male, if he becomes someone else's beastly husband... Sister Yinmei, aren't you sad?"

These words were undoubtedly rubbing salt into Yin Mei's wounds, but she knew that if she didn't throw something drastic at her, Yin Mei might still hide like a turtle and refuse to come out.

"Wanwan, stop talking. If he wants to get a partner, let him get a partner. It has nothing to do with me."

"Sister Yin Mei, what if? What if he accepts everything about you? If you reject him like this, he will be heartbroken. Give yourself and him a chance. Talk to him. If he can't accept it, then you can just let it go."

Yin Mei was clearly taken aback; she had never had such a thought before.

Because she was unable to have children, she faced discrimination from a young age, making it impossible for her to confront her own weaknesses.

They are even afraid to confess it to their loved ones.

“Wanwan, but… even if he accepts it, I can’t have children for him, and I can’t be a burden to him.”

As they were talking, the door was pushed open, and Kong Lai appeared in the doorway.

In that instant, Yin Mei clearly panicked.

"Yin Mei, is that why you rejected me?"

"No...you misheard. Why are you back again? Go away now and don't come back again."

Kong Lai strode forward, but was stopped by Yin Ze. "You're not allowed to force my sister. If you dare to bully her, I won't let you get away with it."

Kong Lai gave a wry smile. "How could I bully her? I don't even have time to cherish her."

Bai Wanwan got up and slowly walked towards the door, gesturing for Yin Ze to follow.

Yin Ze glanced at her, but ultimately restrained himself from pulling Kong Lai. Instead, he turned around and followed Bai Wanwan out of the house.

After Yin Ze went outside, he remained in a state of extreme anxiety.

In contrast, Bai Wanwan was much more relaxed, sitting on the stone bench admiring his slender figure.

"You actually kind of want Kong Lai to accept Yoon Mi, who can't have children, right?"

Yin Ze's expression didn't look so good after his secret was exposed.

"But...they won't accept it."

This doesn't only happen here; infertile females who mate with males are not sent to the female cave.

Even his best friend was unwilling to marry his female sister.

After repeated disappointments, Yin Ze had given up hope.

He just didn't want his only female sister to get hurt again.

Bai Wanwan looked up at him, "And what about you? Can you accept a female who can't have children?"

Yin Ze didn't hesitate at all, "As long as I like it, I don't care."

He answered without hesitation, because he had asked himself the same question countless times before.

If you truly love a female, you must accept everything about her and never make her sad or upset.

Therefore, those males who cannot accept that the female is infertile are not worthy of her affection.

His answer surprised Bai Wanwan. She hadn't expected that in this backward world, where most males valued procreation, he would have such advanced ideas.

They looked at each other, and neither of them spoke.

But suddenly, the sound of stone tools breaking came from the room.

Yin Ze immediately turned around and rushed into the stone house.
