I asked you to write a light novel, but you wrote about living?

Around 10 p.m., the study door was gently pushed open a crack.

A small head peeked in from behind the door.

"elder brother?"

Yu Wenzheng leaned back in his wheelchair, with a semi-transparent game interface floating in front of him.

The dim city ruins stretched into the distance in the light curtain, the broken high-rise buildings were shrouded in sand and dust, and a huge mechanical creature was slowly crawling out from behind the collapsed buildings.

As Yu Wen's gaze moved, the screen also rotated.

While there are many aspects of this era that he finds difficult to adapt to, its entertainment technology is undeniably excellent.

The optical computer can directly capture visual and neural signals. When combined with virtual reality devices, it can not only reproduce sound, temperature and touch, but also make the feeling of wind blowing on the skin extremely realistic.

Unfortunately, his legs are not yet able to work with the full motion-sensing mode, so he can only use a semi-immersive operation.

Even so, it far surpassed all the games he had played in his previous life.

Yu Wen has always enjoyed playing video games.

After a long day at work, he would go home, order takeout, and play a couple of games on his computer – that was one of his few forms of relaxation back then.

Now that he has such an incredibly powerful optical computer, he naturally won't leave it unused.

Upon hearing Yu Yin's voice, Yu Wen raised his hand to pause the game.

The mechanical creature in the light screen stopped in mid-air, and then slowly faded away along with the entire ruins.

The study fell silent again.

Yu Wen turned his wheelchair around and looked towards the door.

"Have you finished your homework?"

"Finished writing."

Yu Yin then pushed the door open a little and slowly walked in.

She had changed into her pajamas, her soft hair draped over her shoulders.

Yu Wen smiled when he saw her standing by the desk but not speaking immediately.

"Why are you being so sneaky?"

He lowered his voice slightly.

"Do you want to hear the rest of Harry's story before the usual sayings come out?"

Yu Yin shook her head.

"no."

This answer surprised Yu Wen somewhat.

Just now, during dinner, she was still asking Harry what would happen after he went back to his aunt's house.

"You really don't want to hear it?"

"think."

Yu Yin said honestly.

"But my brother will tell Chang Yandao later."

"If you tell me now, my brother will have to tell me everything from the beginning when he comes next time."

She looked at Yu Wen and added earnestly:

"Talking for so long will get tiring."

Yu Wen was slightly taken aback.

During the day, when the little girl listened to stories, her eyes were always fixed on him, as if she was afraid of missing a single word.

Even though she was still thinking about what would happen next, she held back her curiosity because she was worried that he would tell the same story twice.

She never cared about just the story.

Yu Wen felt a warmth in his heart and reached out to touch her hair.

"My brother is just sitting and talking for a few minutes, he won't get tired."

"We talked for a long time."

Yu Yin said softly.

"And my brother also has to read the things the doctor sends during the day."

Although she didn't know what those tests specifically meant, she knew that Yu Wen had been preparing for treatment of his legs recently.

Whenever she saw him staring blankly at the information sent by the medical center, she would subconsciously lower her voice, not wanting to disturb him.

Yu Wen looked at her, gently placed his palm on the top of her head, and gently rubbed her hair.

Back when they lived in the lower city, Yu Yin's biggest concern every day was whether her brother had eaten on time and whether he was feeling unwell.

She was young, but she was already used to taking care of his feelings.

Now that we've finally moved into a new house and life is gradually settling down, this cautious habit hasn't completely changed.

"The rest of the story isn't urgent."

Yu Wen said in a gentle voice:

"When Changyan comes next time, I'll tell you all about it together."

"Um."

Yu Yin nodded obediently.

Seeing that she was still standing by the desk, Yu Wen knew that she must have come here for something else tonight.

Yu Yin lowered her head and thought for a while.

"I just thought of something."

"What is it?"

She didn't answer immediately, as if she was considering how to express herself.

After a moment, he looked up at Yu Wen.

"Brother, you've told so many stories."

"Um."

"Could you tell me a story about a brother and sister next time?"

Yu Wen was slightly taken aback.

"Brother and sister?"

"Um."

Yu Yin nodded slightly.

"Just like us."

Her voice was soft, but her eyes were very serious.

"The Little Prince features a little prince, a rose, and a fox."

"In today's story, Harry has Ron and Hermione."

"I want to hear a story about a brother and sister."

Yu Wen looked at her quietly.

"What do you want to hear them do?"

Yu Yin thought for a while.

"Anything is fine."

"We can go to very far places together, and we might encounter some strange things."

"The older brother protects the younger sister, and the younger sister can also help the older brother."

She paused for a moment, then said softly:

"It would be good if they ended up together."

Yu Wen felt as if something had gently squeezed his heart.

Yu Yin didn't say much.

But he knew that this request was not just an ordinary story for her.

She used to look after her brother, whose health was deteriorating, in the lower city. Her biggest wish in life was probably just that the two of them could stay together forever.

Now that things are finally getting better, all she wants to hear is a story about a brother and sister who, no matter what they encounter, will never be separated in the end.

Yu Wen gently patted her head.

"it is good."

"Brother, think of one carefully."

Yu Yin's eyes brightened a little.

"real?"

"Of course it's true."

Yu Wen smiled and said:

"Since you've personally come up with some stories, do you think your brother would just brush you off?"

Yu Yin smiled, pursing her lips.

She didn't urge Yu Wen to speak now, but just stood aside and waited for a while.

"Then take your time to think about it."

"It's okay if you don't expect it."

Even though I was really looking forward to it, I still told him first that it was okay if he didn't expect it.

Yu Wen said in a gentle voice:

"You wouldn't have guessed it."

"You just have to pick one that suits you."

Yu Yin nodded in relief.

A story about a brother and sister...

Several book titles quickly came to mind for Yu Wen.

The first thing that comes to mind is "To Kill a Mockingbird".

Scout and Jem are a brother and sister living in a small town in the American South.

The story unfolds from the child's perspective, and the relationship and growth between the siblings occupy a significant place.

But Yu Wen suppressed the thought as soon as it appeared.

The book contained false accusations of sexual assault, racial violence, shootings, and physical attacks, as well as many discriminatory terms bearing the mark of the era.

Without understanding the social context of the time, it is difficult for a child to truly grasp the meaning behind those events.

Racial oppression, the good and evil of human nature, legal injustice...

These things are ultimately too heavy for a ten-year-old child.

Moreover, Yu Yin had only just left the lower city and was enjoying a few truly peaceful days.

Her life was just beginning to brighten.

Yu Wen didn't want to put those sharp, oppressive, and cruel things back in front of her so soon.

"To Kill a Mockingbird" is certainly a good book.

but not now.

Yu Wen looked at his younger sister in front of him and continued to search slowly in his memories.

A story about a brother and sister.

It should be fun, and it should be heartwarming.

Ideally, no matter how far they travel, they should be able to return home together in the end.

The older brother protects his younger sister.

The younger sister is also protecting her brother in her own way.

A long-forgotten memory slowly became clearer.

Snow-covered mountains and forests.

A young man who keeps moving forward.

Yu Wen looked at Yu Yin and smiled gently.

"Next time, I'll tell you a story about a sister who turned into a demon. Everyone thought she was beyond saving, but her brother still chose to believe in her. He put her in a wooden box, carried her on his back, and led her to find a way to turn her back into a human."
