Tu Mi's eyes flickered slightly. Her gaze towards Tu Qi held a mixture of disbelief and relief, as if her suspicions had been confirmed.

She felt a moment of anger, angry at Tuqi and also at Zuo Le.

But soon, Tu Mi calmed down.

She was once like a stray dog, suffering many setbacks.

Therefore, she understood better than anyone else that the past was not a big deal.

Now is the real time.

Making the most of the present is what we need to do.

She, who wasn't good at thinking, started thinking quickly.

What does it mean that Tu Qi took the initiative to ask about Zuo Le's situation?

This means she wants to know about Zuo Le's situation, and it also means she can't let go of him yet.

Thinking of this, Tu Mi clenched her fist instantly:

He's doing fine now.

Tuqi nodded calmly, showing no particular emotion.

But just like an older sister knows her younger sister very well.

The younger sister understands her older sister just as well.

Tu Mi was certain that if Tu Qi was truly calm, she would definitely show that annoying smile.

But she didn't; she just pretended to be calm.

Therefore, she must care a lot about Zuo Le.

As expected, Tu Mi was met with the second question:

"Is he good to you?"

After asking the question, Tu Qi turned her head away, but Tu Mi could still see part of her eyes from the side profile.

It was a sadness that even she could feel.

For some reason, when Tu Mi saw that look in her eyes, all her resentment disappeared.

She didn't want to use Zuo Le's matter to retaliate against or hurt Tu Qi.

Pointless.

Since she asked, I'll give her a serious answer.

Don't be deliberate or exaggerated; answer simply and sincerely.

"He's very good to me too."

"..." Tu Qi's silence seemed to urge Tu Mi to continue.

"He now guides my cultivation every day, helps me improve my techniques, and plans a combat system for me, including shooting and physical skills, but I learned elemental magic on my own."

At this point, Tuqi turned her head and gently ruffled her sister's hair:

"That's good, as long as he's willing to take responsibility."

There were no words of jealousy, no competitive attitude, and even the words became very gentle.

Tu Mi was somewhat at a loss for what to do.

She hesitated for a few seconds, but still asked the question that had been bothering her:

"You and him?"

"What, want to pry into your sister's secrets?" Tu Qi smiled, her expression returning to its mischievous grin.

"Hmph, if you don't want to talk about it, then forget it." Tu Mi was the one pretending not to care.

"We were together."

Tuqi gave the answer directly, and she seemed very calm about it.

Hearing Tu Qi's frank admission, Tu Mi felt a little flustered. She hadn't figured out what to say after getting the answer.

"So, you two broke up?"

"We broke up." Tuqi nodded.

Tu Mi hesitated for a moment, but still brought up the matter from back then:

"Tuqi, I remember that two or three years ago, you seemed to have someone you liked..."

Tuqi's eyes also revealed a sense of reminiscence:

"Yes, Zuo Le."

How much do you like it?

"I like it very much, I like it very much. I will stay together even if we suffer hardships, even if someone tries to stop us, even if we are wronged, even if we are hurt. I have no bottom line at all."

It's hard to imagine that such self-deprecating words came from the mouth of her own sister, who is considered a prodigy.

Tu Mi clenched her fist and actually began to defend her older sister:

"You must have been lied to. Men are all bad; they love to lie."

But Tuqi herself shook her head:

"No, it was all voluntary on my part."

This answer was unacceptable to Tu Mi.

She couldn't accept that her older sister, who had always been the center of attention and the pinnacle of her peers, was behaving this way.

Even if that person were Zuo Le, she still couldn't accept it.

Tu Mi felt inexplicably like crying.

It wasn't even because of herself that she wanted to cry, but because of Tuqi in front of her.

"Then why did you split up?"

“Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand.” Tu Qi shook her head, unwilling to offer any further explanation.

"Here we go again with this excuse." Tu Mi pouted.

Tuqi smiled and reached out to pinch her younger sister's cheek:

"Actually, looking at it from another perspective, it's quite lucky that two people who were originally unrelated were able to spend a short period of time together."

"whispering sound……"

"Tu Mi, would you like to go for a walk with me?"

Tu Qi extended the invitation, and Tu Mi was secretly delighted, but she maintained a composed demeanor:

"Okay, I'm fine too."

The two walked out of the cafeteria and went to the convenience store. Tuqi bought her a bottle of orange juice, while she bought a wasabi-flavored soda.

When Tu Mi saw the flavor of the soda, she paused for a moment, but didn't say anything.

Walking down the street, the two sisters found themselves with far fewer topics to discuss than before.

Occasionally, Tuqi would say a few words, but Tumi always remained silent.

The two of them wandered aimlessly through most of Mirror Sky Academy. Tu Mi, having finished her drink, suddenly looked up and asked:

"Tuqi, how are you doing?"

When Tuqi heard this question, she was also taken aback for a moment, but quickly smiled:

"I am a saint of the Church of the Holy Light, of course I'm doing very well, is that even a question?"

"Hmph, nothing special. I'm leaving." Tu Mi waved her hand and was about to go.

"Hey, wait a minute." Tuqi called out to her at this moment.

"Is there anything else?"

"Are you... together?"

Tu Qi's voice wasn't loud, and Tu Mi felt that she seemed to be expecting something.

But she gave the most direct answer:

"Yes, we're together."

When Tuqi heard this answer, her heart clenched painfully, but her face maintained its unchanging smile.

Because she didn't want her younger sister to feel any psychological burden:

"Now that you're together, keep a close eye on him and don't let some wicked woman steal him away."

Hearing Tu Qi say that, Tu Mi also got angry.

"Hmph, what kind of good person can a man be stolen away? Besides, are there any other vicious and wicked women besides you?"

"Hehe, goodbye then, Little Tu Mi."

Tuqi finally said goodbye to her sister.

But as soon as she turned around, she immediately pulled up her hood, covering most of her expression.

He took a deep breath and then exhaled.

She was not as calm as I had imagined.

Whether it was the day she broke up with Zuo Le or now, she finds it difficult to remain calm.

Longing has become a disease.

Even so, Tuqi had no intention of going to see Zuo Le. As she said, the pain this relationship had brought her had outweighed her past affection.

It would be best if she didn't see Zuo Le; if she did, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself.

But as Tu Mi watched Tu Qi leave, a look of doubt gradually appeared in her eyes.

"That was..."

As Tuqi left, she noticed the displayed level of affection on the other person's face.

Although the favorability information is lost after a certain distance, Tu Mi is certain that Tu Qi's favorability had appeared, and it was quite obvious.

Moreover, her favorability rating wasn't the same as most people's [-100], nor was it the [-150] that Tu Mi had initially envisioned.

Instead, it is [1].

"Taller than Zuo Le?"

Tu Mi thought about her current relationship with Zuo Le. Apart from being roommates, they were actually just like any other couple.

The relationship has been progressing slowly but effectively.

They often argue, and sometimes even engage in couple-style fights.

But Tu Mi could sense that their relationship was in a stable and positive phase.

Even so, Zuo Le's favorability rating was only [0], but Tu Qi's was [1].

"How is this possible?"

Deep down, Tu Mi longed for Tu Qi's approval.

Her expectations for Tu Qi even surpassed those for Zuo Le, because Tu Qi had cast too many shadows on her that she couldn't shake off.

But what if someone told her now?

Your sister has always cared about you, how can Tu Mi accept that?

Taking a break from updating for a while

Something happened at home, nothing major. My elderly grandmother was unhappy with my wife and felt sorry for her grandson (me). In the middle of the night, she complained to my wife (that she had taken the child on a trip, which I allowed her to do because the child was too naughty at home. After a summer vacation of 8 years, I just couldn't stand it anymore).

After several days of questioning and harassment, I was exhausted and drained. I tried to communicate and explain the reasons to my grandmother, but it was no use. She couldn't hear me clearly, or even understand what I was saying, and she was very stubborn.

These past few days, my grandma has often sat down next to me and started talking in circles about how hard life used to be. I could only listen quietly as she finished her story, repeating the same thing three or four times.

I couldn't refuse her, so I could only listen quietly to what she had to say and then comfort her. I couldn't think of a better way.
