Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

There was already a clear footprint on it. Bai Shimo followed the footprint as if it were a game. The footprints, one big and one small, one dark and one light, were intertwined and imprinted on the beach.

Until they reached each other's side.

"Watching the sunrise?"

"Ah."

"Watching the sunrise alone is so lonely, isn't it? You could put that on your list of the ten loneliest things in life?"

"It's nice to watch with someone, but I also like to watch by myself."

Bai Shimo stuck out her tongue, clearly unconvinced.

"Brother, you're wrong. You have to answer. Oh, I'm so, so lonely. Luckily, you found me, discovered me. My dearest sister, to me, you are the only light in my life. I will dedicate my entire life to supporting you."

Bai Weiran turned her head and gave her sister a sharp look.

"That's it? My life is so barren."

The tide rose, submerging their ankles. Bai Shimo looked down, while Bai Weiran looked up ahead.

"You actually came out. I thought you wouldn't come out until noon."

"...?"

"The spring night is too short and the sun rises high, and from then on the emperor will not hold court in the morning—how can you abandon a great beauty in your room?"

Bai Shimo teased, but Bai Weiran didn't answer and just turned her head away.

"Brother, what's there to worry about? I'm an adult now, I know what I'm doing."

"You know it, that's your business; I don't want to talk about it."

Bai Shimo narrowed her eyes and smiled gently.

"My brother has always treated me like a little kid; I'll always be his little sister."

Because they were siblings and he genuinely cared for her, he avoided discussing such topics between men and women with her.

There's something I'm curious about.

"……what?"

"Brother, why don't you go and complete the mission? Can the mission still be completed?"

Bai Weiran understood.

Bai Shimo was referring to the mission world, which he rarely visited, but the mission progress was still ongoing.

He can see it here, and obviously—she can see it there too.

"There are many forms of relationships between people, and romantic love is just one of them. There are also family relationships, friendships, and so many other relationships. They are like safety ropes, forming a safety net around a person. A person can get trapped in one of them and become unable to extricate themselves because the other safety ropes are insufficient, and they can only hold on to one rope tightly."

"As the only rope was pulled and swayed, emotions became uncontrollable, and it became impossible to continue."

"Therefore, helping to set up more safety ropes is an effective method."

Bai Weiran spread his hands.

“The question you gave us is tricky, but it also has a lot of loopholes. Since the subjects haven’t developed symptoms yet and they haven’t formed a strong habit of relying on someone, they don’t need to quit the drug. All we need to do is give them a safety rope.”

Some people have their fathers by their side, while others have their younger brothers by their side.

Al was called a male fox spirit. This title was given to him by his sister, Hai Qing, who was one of the mission targets. When Bai Weiran learned of this title, he was surprised and touched his chin.

For someone like me to be called a vixen is actually a compliment.

Encouraged by him, Al tried to think about and implement his ideas.

Al initiated and promoted peace talks between the four major families.

The four families had a long-standing feud, which began as a struggle for territory within the city's jurisdiction. Once the territories were clearly defined, they began fighting for profits, leading to another period of chaos. Eventually, each family divided up the industries they were responsible for, and the others withdrew, refraining from competing with each other and infringing on each other's interests. The four families then reached a balance within Anda City.

After that, the four families stopped seeing each other and ceased all contact.

The Han family had actually extended an invitation beforehand.

Han Di, the head of the Han family, is the only elder among the four families. Han Di had long intended to get the four families to put aside their past grievances and work together.

But the other family members are all quite young, hot-blooded, and competitive.

Han Di's invitation was not accepted; instead, he was met with a cold shoulder.

Hai Qing was particularly opposed to it.

Hai Qing is widely recognized as a stern and authoritarian ruler, but she is also universally acknowledged as outstanding. Under her leadership, the Hai family is thriving and has even gained the momentum to overpower three other families.

Naturally, the Hai family would not want to sit down and discuss cooperation with others.

Things took an unexpected turn for the better with Al.

But Haiqing was furious when she found out what was going on. Letters were sent out from the prison, severely criticizing her brother for disgracing the Hai family.

Not to be outdone, Al also sent back letters one after another.

The two siblings started arguing.

Although it looks like the two are arguing and can't stand each other, the mission completion rate is actually rising in the opposite direction.

Al and Haiqing are a stubborn and aloof sibling. Their communication used to be terrible, with neither of them willing to say more than a few words. Al would just hum and haw, "uh-huh, oh, I'm going out," and give perfunctory replies. Haiqing, on the other hand, would immediately launch into a list of criticisms and reprimands whenever they met.

It's no wonder that such a relationship can't be good.

The two started arguing and writing, and ended up talking much more than before.

What they were arguing about didn't matter, but the more they argued, the more they understood each other. While they were angry with each other, they also became more closely connected.

After all, they were siblings, and both cared for the Hai family.

No matter what, none of them would betray them.

It's not because of each other, but because we share a greater belief and stand together.

They are siblings who are irreconcilable, but also partners who are determined to make the family prosper.

Manager Xu ran around delivering letters, making three trips a day, almost breaking his legs, but he was very happy.

Being bossed around like this by two big bosses means I'm safe from getting fired.

A common saying among workers: Even if you don't have any merit, you must have worked hard; even if you don't have any hard work, you must pretend to be hardworking in front of the boss.

Bai Shimo clicked her tongue twice after hearing this.

"I can only say, as expected of you, my brother."

Such a mindset, such performance.

"It's not something I can just decide to do. Obviously, the system's judgment is that this will keep them away from the danger of turning evil and reduce the risk."

There may only be one Bai Weiran in the world, but every girl who falls into misfortune must also have many good boys by her side, appearing in various ways as relatives, friends, classmates, partners.

Bai Weiran smiled at Bai Shimo as he finished speaking.

“You know what? This is what I wanted, Shimo.”

Bai Shimo nodded, but did not respond.

This is a little unspoken understanding between them: when her brother suddenly calls her name seriously, it means he is about to speak seriously.

"Men help men, women help women, men help women, women help men. Everyone should help each other, understand each other, and then forgive each other, and seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. If everyone could do that, then there would be no need for this platform to exist."

Everyone knows how base they are, but the difference between good and bad people lies in whether, knowing their own baseness, they can still use reason to suppress their primal, base nature.

Indulging one's natural instincts and pursuing sensual pleasures, under the guise of "pleasure is innocent" and "man is born free."

"Men understand men better than women, so having a good woman around can help you distinguish between good and bad, and vice versa. A good female friend can protect a man from harm."

"Men are human too, women are human too, and everyone gets hurt. So let's all unite, avoid confrontation, understand each other, and help each other—"

Al is a very good younger brother. With him by Haiqing's side, she definitely won't fall into the trap of bad men and be dragged into madness.

Bai Shimo let out a soft "Oh!" and sighed, shaking her head.

"You're thinking too deeply, my brother. Who would think about these things?"

"Everyone should think more deeply," Bai Weiran said in a steady voice.

"Go deeper, then come out shallower."

"Brother, are you driving?"

Bai Shimo immediately received a blow to the head.

"Go deeper and let us realize the truth of the matter; go shallower and we can still laugh, joking, and cursing."

As Bai Weiran finished speaking, he suddenly laughed happily. The morning light was just rising, and a ray of light shone on his face.

"Last night, Qin Ning said something to me that made me very happy."

Bai Shimo remained noncommittal, her face showing a complete lack of interest.

"She didn't mean she loves you, did she?"

I hear these kinds of confessions every day—

"No, Qin Ning said she had a dream. She dreamed of her deceased biological parents, but this time in the dream, she didn't have any conflict with them. She got along well with them, neither submitting nor fiercely resisting. As herself, she didn't submit to anyone."

"I will no longer feel depressed because the other person hurts me with their words when they show that they love me or don't love me."

"She knows who she is, so she doesn't waver, but she won't sever ties with her parents because of their existing flaws. Everyone has flaws, and so does she."

"I'm very happy for Qin Ning."

She has figured out how to build a safety net around herself.

See the good in people, see the bad in people, and then accept them.

It's not about being overjoyed by others' kindness, nor about being furious at others' misdeeds.

That's just who the other person is; whether you accept it or not is entirely up to you.

Qin Ning nestled in his arms, no longer as soft, greedy, or clingy as she used to be.

Her movements were still persistent, refusing to let up, but her eyes shone with light.

"Brother Weiran, I'm ready to leave you at any time."

But now I choose to like you—
