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

My mind went silent.

Shen Youwei continued.

"How about this?"

"free."

He paused for a moment.

"I'll kill her for you for free."

"Consider it a gift for my sister."

"How is it?"

Finally, a voice came to mind.

It's very light.

very weak.

But with a hint of determination.

"no."

Shen Youwei was stunned for a moment.

"no?"

She repeated it.

"Why not?"

Shen Youyao's voice echoed in my mind.

"Because...because Brother Gu Yan will hate it."

Shen Youwei smiled.

"Hate?"

She paused.

"How did he know we were the ones who killed them?"

"If you do it cleanly, no one will know."

"Even if he knows, so what?"

"They're all dead, what can he do to us now?"

"At worst, we can take him along too..."

She didn't finish speaking.

But the meaning is obvious.

There was a two-second silence in my mind.

Then a voice rang out.

I'm a bit more determined than before.

"no."

"It just won't work."

Shen Youwei frowned slightly.

"Little sister, you..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

The voice that rang in her mind interrupted her.

"Sister, you don't understand."

Shen Youwei was stunned.

This was the first time she had heard her sister speak in this tone.

It's not cowardice.

It wasn't trembling.

It's about being serious.

Very serious.

She spoke.

"What don't I understand?"

There was a two-second silence in my mind.

Then Shen Youyao's voice rang out.

"Sister, can you listen to me?"

Shen Youwei nodded.

"you say."

A voice echoed in my mind.

"Sister, you told me you liked Gu Yan too, right?"

Shen Youwei was stunned.

She opened her mouth.

I wanted to say no.

But the words stuck in his throat.

She remembered what had just happened at the noodle shop.

She moved closer to Gu Yan's face.

She looked at his lips.

She wanted to kiss him.

She really wanted to kiss him.

If the boss hadn't interrupted, she would have kissed him already.

Thinking of this, her face felt slightly hot.

Then she spoke.

"I like it very much."

The sound was very soft.

But he was very serious.

There was a two-second silence in my mind.

Then Shen Youyao's voice rang out.

"Then, sister, do you know what 'like' means?"

Shen Youwei was stunned again.

What does it mean to like?

She thought about it.

Liking something is...

Want to possess.

I want it.

She wanted him to belong to her alone.

She spoke.

"If you like something, that's..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

The voice that rang in her mind interrupted her.

"Sister, listen to me."

He paused for a moment.

"I didn't understand before either."

I thought that liking someone meant wanting to be with them.

I want him to protect me.

I want him to only look at me.

"But later, I slowly came to understand."

Liking someone doesn't mean possessing them.

"I just want him to be happy."

Shen Youwei was stunned.

The voice continued to echo in my mind.

"Gu Yan is good to me."

"He saved my life."

"He taught me how to shoot."

He said he would protect me.

"But sister, have you ever thought about this?"

Why is Gu Yan so nice to me?

He paused for a moment.

"Is it because I'm pitiful?"

"Is it because I'm weak?"

"Or is it because...he likes me?"

Shen Youwei fell silent.

The voice in my mind continued.

"I have no idea."

"I don't know if Gu Yan likes me."

"But I know that Brother Gu Yan is a good person."

"He is kind to everyone."

"It's good for that cold-hearted older sister too."

"It's good for his sister too."

"It's also good for the woman in the wheelchair."

"That's just the kind of person he is."

"Gentle, kind, and good to everyone."

"Sister, have you ever thought about this?"

"If I kill that cold-hearted older sister."

"What will happen to Brother Gu Yan?"

He paused for a moment.

He will be sad.

"He will be very sad."

"He will hate himself."

"Sister, would you want to see Gu Yan like this?"

Shen Youwei fell silent.

She opened her mouth.

I want to say yes.

But I just can't bring myself to say that word.

The voice continued to echo in my mind.

"I don't want to."

"I don't want to see Gu Yan sad."

"I don't want to see Gu Yan suffer."

"I don't want to see Gu Yan hate me."

"I hope Gu Yan is happy."

"I hope Gu Yan smiles."

"I hope that every time Brother Gu Yan sees me, he will be as gentle as he is today."

"Sister, this is what I like."

"It's not about possession."

"Not about obtaining."

"I just want him to be well."

silence.

Dead silence.

Shen Youwei stood there.

The moonlight shone on her, outlining her exquisite curves.

But she didn't move.

Like a sculpture.

A very, very long time passed.

She then spoke.

His voice was a little hoarse.

"younger sister……"

He paused for a moment.

"You...when did you learn to say these things?"

Shen Youyao's voice echoed in my mind.

Very small.

It's very light.

But I'm very determined.

"Just now."

"Just as I saw Gu Yan's figure disappear."

"Just when I thought I might never see him again."

"I suddenly understood."

"Sister, do you know?"

"Liking someone doesn't mean keeping them by your side."

"It's about letting him fly free."

"Then when he gets tired of flying, give him a place to land."

Shen Youwei fell silent.

She looked up at the stars in the sky.

The stars twinkled, like they were blinking.

She suddenly remembered something from a long time ago.

She was still young then.

So small that the plot of this book hasn't even started yet.

No, it's because my younger sister is still young.

My sister was surrounded by a group of women, pushed around, and mocked.

The younger sister huddled in the corner, covering her head, and cried her heart out.

She was looking at it in her mind.

He was so angry he was trembling.

She wanted to go out.

She wanted to kill those people.

But she couldn't get out.

She could only watch.

Seeing her younger sister being bullied.

Seeing my younger sister cry.

Watching my younger sister grow more timid and insecure every day.

later.

She was finally able to get out.

That day, taking advantage of Shen Youyao's weakened mental state, she appeared and killed seven people.

After killing the man, she stood in a pool of blood.

I felt no fear, only excitement.

She thought that if anyone bullied her sister again, she would kill them.

Kill until no one dares to bully them anymore.

But her most beloved younger sister was afraid.

He actually knelt down in front of several corpses and apologized.

She doesn't understand.

Why be afraid?

Those people deserve to die.

Kill them, and then no one will bully you anymore.

You don't need to be afraid anymore.

But my sister was still scared.

Fear of killing.

She never understood.

Until now.

She seemed to understand a little.

But she would never give up and hand over her future to someone else!

Shen Youwei took a deep breath.

Then she laughed.

His smile was tinged with bitterness.

"younger sister."

She said softly.

"You win."

A questioning voice echoed in my mind.

"Sister? What do you mean?"

Shen Youwei shook her head.

"It's nothing."

He paused for a moment.

"I won't kill Pei Yuran."

There was a two-second silence in my mind.

Then a surprised voice rang out.

"Really? Sister?"

Shen Youwei nodded.

"real."

He paused for a moment.

"but……"

She smiled.

"If she bullies you, I will still stand up for you."

A happy voice echoed in my mind.

"Thank you, sister!"

Shen Youwei smiled.

As she laughed, she suddenly spoke again.

"younger sister."

"Um?"

"you're right."

"To like someone is to want the best for them."

"But……"

She paused.

"Little sister, you're not reconciled either, are you?"

"You've just suppressed the desires in your heart, haven't you?"

My mind went silent.

Shen Youwei continued.

"Why is that cold, aloof woman allowed to be with him?"

"Why is it that she gets to see him every day?"

"Why is it that she gets to hold his hand, hug him, and lean against him?"

"And I can only come out when you're asleep?"

"Can I only steal a few glances at him?"

"You can only imagine what he looks like in your mind?"

She looked up at the night sky.

"one way or another."

"Sister, are you really willing to accept this?"

My mind went silent.

Several seconds passed.

Only a very soft sound rang out.

"I'm not reconciled."
