My sister never calls me brother.

I always keep a wary eye on her.

Whenever she had the chance, she would sabotage her brother and her, to prevent that vixen from taking advantage of her.

When my brother was around, I called her Sister Lin; when he wasn't there, I explicitly called her a vixen.

Because I have to maintain a certain image in front of my older brother.

Besides, I've already made it clear that I dislike her, so I have no worries.

This vixen actually accused me of using underhanded tricks in response to my actions.

I'm so angry! Doesn't her constant seduction of my brother count as a lowly trick?

My brother isn't contacting me on his own initiative; he's probably been bewitched by this vixen!

My poor brother is a simple-minded person with strong limbs.

They won't be able to see through this vixen's true nature on their own.

But I'll bring my brother to his senses.

Let him know that in this world, only his sister loves him the most.

Everyone else has to step aside.

I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but I always feel like besides Lin Nianwei, there are other vixens flirting with my brother.

After this thought came to mind, I became increasingly uneasy, and my anxiety spiraled out of control.

So I plan to go back once, and make those sluts back down in the face of the unparalleled pure love between my brother and me.

Those who don't know when to back down will be dealt with using a machete.

Then I can live happily with my brother.

Getting married...having a baby...

I don't think there's anything wrong with my idea.

Because everything I do is just!

Brother... Brother! Brother, brother, brother!!!

Ah~ I'm getting more and more excited just thinking about it~

My brain keeps trembling involuntarily—

So comfortable~

Extra Chapter: Sentiment as the Skin, Reason as the Bones

What is rationality?

Rationality is about placing oneself within a sphere of self-control.

Do not let your life deviate from its proper course due to objective or subjective reasons.

What is emotion?

Being emotional means having a window into the world to subjectively express your feelings when you are feeling suppressed.

Can emotion and reason coexist?

can.

I am the best example.

It may sound contradictory.

But these two personality traits truly coexist within me.

I think this is very common, the book says—

Rationality and emotion are two sides of human nature, and everyone possesses both.

I can't tell if that statement is true.

But the rules described in the book apply to me very well.

Because I can feel the intense conflict between emotion and reason within me.

So in other people's eyes, my personality must be very awkward.

Yes, the word "awkward" suits me perfectly.

I like a boy, but I can't express my feelings.

My emotions tell me I should boldly confess my feelings.

Because if you don't say it, he won't understand.

But reason tells me that I shouldn't confess my feelings.

Even if you say it, you might not succeed.

Therefore, I always struggle between reason and emotion, missing the best opportunities to handle things.

Perhaps I am too dull to achieve a balance between the two.

I believe that in an ideal situation—

Emotion is the skin, reason is the bone.

This kind of life is both organized and enjoyable.

Sole rationality can dull the ability to feel life.

However, a singular focus on emotion ignores the feasibility of life.

I am unable to achieve balance; I am often governed by reason or by emotion.

But these things often have one thing in common—selfishness.

When selfish motives intervene in something, there will be no balance.

I have always tried my best to maintain a state where sensibility is the skin and rationality is the bone.

But there's one boy who always makes me lose my rationality and become driven by emotion.

His name is Zhou Han.

If I absolutely had to add a relationship between him and me...

Childhood sweethearts are probably the most suitable.

When we first met.

He tore through my disguise without hesitation.

I like to pretend that I have something to do.

Because I don't feel awkward when I'm alone.

Most importantly, it allows you to hide the fact that nobody cares about you.

Therefore, reading alone became the best option.

It gives everyone a feeling—

I am different from other children my age...

When I'm reading, I look very focused.

In reality, I would occasionally look up and secretly watch the group of children not far away, listening intently to their joyful laughter.

Sometimes I get so engrossed in what I'm watching that I lose focus.

I don't actually like reading these dry and boring books; I envy those people who laugh loudly on the sand in the park.

There are three reasons why I did not participate—

First, I'm not good at striking up conversations with others.

I am very introverted, and it is very difficult for me to take the initiative to talk to others.

Secondly, I'm too good at faking a smile.

My face is somewhat expressionless; I only smile when I feel happy. When I'm unhappy, I'm always expressionless. If you ask me to fake a smile... I'm sorry, I can't do it.

Thirdly, my health is not very good.

I can't participate in many physically demanding games; I can only watch from afar.

So I really want to join that group, but I feel a bit powerless to do so.

Also, when I was little, I... um... I... cough...

Wait a moment, let me calm down.

When I was little, I looked a tiny bit chubby... just a tiny bit...

Fine... I'll just admit I had baby fat when I was little.

Because I was a bit chubby when I was little, it made me somewhat insecure.

I thought I would continue like this as an observer.

But Zhou Han, like a knight, burst into my world.

That's right, it's the Knight.

Because I read a lot of fairy tales when I was a child.

In my mind, a knight is someone who is brave and has a strong sense of justice.

He wielded a sharp longsword, cutting through thorns and brambles to reach my side.

Although I didn't find his jokes funny, they had a special appeal to me.

Therefore, my attention was gradually drawn to him.

My elementary school years were probably the most carefree period of my life.

If it weren't for his drastic change in personality...

I think I will confess my feelings and eventually become his lover.

Do I like him?
