I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

Pei Youyi was too busy at that time, dealing with all sorts of messy things in the clan.

Lack of separation.

Several times, when she came back from her busy schedule, she saw Gu Yan asleep next to Yu Ran's bed.

He was still holding Yu Ran's hand.

That's what she felt at that time.

This child is so kind.

The child is now grown up.

It looks even better now.

And it makes people even more...

She shook her head, trying to banish those thoughts.

Take a deep breath.

Then he turned around and left the courtyard.

The footsteps gradually faded into the distance.

Gu Yan placed Pei Yuran on the bed and covered her with a blanket.

The girl was still asleep, her brows slightly furrowed.

He reached out and gently smoothed her brow.

He also reinforced the idea that he was the older brother and Yu Ran was an absolutely obedient younger sister.

He just hoped it would still work by tomorrow morning.

Although Pei Youyi agreed, Gu Yan felt that it was best to take control of her own destiny.

Then turned and left.

Gu Yan didn't rush forward immediately; she was still thinking about what had just happened.

Aunt Youyi said she would respect his choice.

Once things have calmed down, I'll go to South Africa with him.

This is a good thing.

But I don't know why.

He kept feeling that Aunt Youyi's gaze towards him earlier...

Something seems off?

He shook his head.

Forget it.

Maybe I'm overthinking it.

He took a deep breath.

one way or another.

At least for now, Aunt Youyi is the only one who genuinely wants to help him.

This is enough.

Gu Yan settled Pei Yuran in and gently closed the door.

Stepping out of the room, I found that Pei Youyi was no longer eating, but standing in the center of the courtyard, looking at the stars in the sky.

She looked up at the stars in the sky.

The moonlight shone on her, outlining her full and graceful curves.

That stunning profile looked especially gentle in the night.

Hearing footsteps, Pei Youyi turned around.

She looked at Gu Yan and spoke softly.

"Xiao Yan, come and watch with me."

Gu Yan walked over and stood next to her.

Pei Youyi raised her head again and looked at the night sky.

"Is it pretty?"

She asked.

"The stars in the sky."

Gu Yan did not answer immediately.

He smelled alcohol.

It's very faint, but it's definitely there.

He looked at Pei Youyi's face.

Her fair face seemed a little redder than before.

He spoke.

"Sister Youyi, you weren't drinking when I went in, were you?"

Pei Youyi was taken aback.

She hadn't expected Gu Yan to be so observant.

She pursed her lips and spoke softly.

"It feels a bit wasteful to see that you're not drinking it."

She paused.

"I only drank a little."

Gu Yan looked at her.

"Sister Yi, this prescription is a bit high."

His tone was filled with worry.

"Are you alright?"

Pei Youyi smiled.

That smile was gentle, yet tinged with a hint of nostalgia.

"Xiao Yan, actually, I used to drink quite a lot too."

She gazed at the night sky, her eyes distant.

"But after becoming the head of the family, I stopped drinking."

She paused, then looked at Gu Yan.

"By the way, Xiao Yan, look at the stars in the sky, aren't they beautiful?"

Gu Yan followed her gaze and looked up.

Countless stars twinkle in the night sky.

The Milky Way stretches across the sky like a luminous ribbon.

The stars were densely packed, some bright, some dim, forming various shapes.

Occasionally, a shooting star streaks across the sky, disappearing in an instant.

Very beautiful.

really beautiful.

Gu Yan nodded.

"It really is quite beautiful."

He looked at the starry sky and suddenly remembered something.

In the past, when Pei Youyi was in a bad mood, she always liked to look at the stars.

He remembered one time when Pei Youyi was dealing with clan affairs until very late.

He happened to be passing by and saw her standing alone in the yard.

I just tilted my head back and looked at the night sky.

He went over to her and asked what was wrong.

She just smiled and said it was nothing.

Then continue looking at the stars.

He was too young to understand then.

Looking back now, she probably had something on her mind and didn't want to worry anyone.

Just as Gu Yan was reminiscing.

Pei Youyi's voice rang out again.

"Xiao Yan, are you trying to ask me why I like looking at the starry sky?"

Gu Yan was stunned.

He turned to look at Pei Youyi.

Under the moonlight, she was looking at him, her gentle eyes filled with a smile.

He nodded.

"I am indeed a little curious."

Pei Youyi remained silent for a few seconds.

Then she spoke.

"Because of a story."

She looked at the night sky, her eyes softening.

"The story of my parents."

Gu Yan didn't speak, but listened quietly.

Pei Youyi's voice continued.

"When I was little, my parents often took me to see the stars."

"My dad is a very powerful superhuman. Before each mission, he would spend some time looking at the stars with me."

"My mom said that my dad is especially gentle when he looks at the stars."

She paused.

"Later, there was a Kuroshio Current that broke out on the border."

"It's a very high-level, very dangerous situation."

"My dad passed away."

"Before he left, he hugged me and pointed to the stars in the sky."

"Youyi, Dad is going to fight monsters over there. He'll be back when he's done."

"If you miss your dad, look at the stars. Dad is looking at them too."

"The stars were exceptionally bright that night."

Pei Youyi's voice was very soft.

He never came back.

"My mom went there later too."

"They suppressed the Black Tide just like everyone else, and they never came back."

She looked up at the starry sky.

"So now, I also enjoy looking at the stars."

"Every time I watch it, I feel like they're still here."

"Watch over me from heaven."

Gu Yan fell silent.

He looked at Pei Youyi, feeling a tightness in his chest.

Pei Youyi continued.

"Sometimes I wonder, when will the Kuroshio Current disappear forever?"

"When will no one die from the Kuroshio anymore?"

She turned her head and looked at Gu Yan.

"Xiao Yan, do you think that day will come?"

Gu Yan's feelings were complicated.

This is his elder, and someone he is very close to.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something comforting.

But when the words were on the tip of my tongue, I felt that nothing I said would be enough.

He took a deep breath and spoke.

"Don't worry, Sister Yi."

He looked into Pei Youyi's eyes and said earnestly.

"The Kuroshio Current will definitely disappear."

"And it will never happen again."

Gu Yan hasn't read the third book, so she can only hope that the ending of this book is a happy one.

Moreover, the forum posts say that they later happily made dumplings together, so there shouldn't be any problem.

He paused.

"Isn't Champion Marquis about to conquer that only S-class secret realm in Antarctica?"

Pei Youyi was stunned.

She looked at Gu Yan, and then smiled.

But there was a hint of complexity in that smile.

"Xiao Yan."

She spoke softly.

I don't want to put pressure on you.

"but."

"It's far from that simple."

Gu Yan blinked.

Of course he knew it wasn't that simple.

This female-oriented novel is actually a trilogy.

Each book contains over a million words.

Judging from the first part, the calamities that appeared were not limited to the Black Tide.

Those things hidden in the shadows are more frightening than the last.
