My older sister is a villainous rich girl

Even now, I feel incredibly lucky to have someone who shares my desire to do the same things and experiences the same joy in them.

As Wayne spoke softly, Chris's spirits lifted somewhat as she recalled happy memories of the past.

"Let's go out and have fun together again next time we have a holiday!" she pleaded, shaking Wayne's arm.

After all, she's still a playful little girl, and her attention is immediately diverted when talking about happy things.

"it is good."

Wayne felt a little relieved.

If she suddenly gets jealous because she remembers that she and Ge Li were in the same class and went on several study tours together, then he'll be completely at a loss.

Although the two of them didn't cross any lines in their relationship at that time, but—

Indeed, some memorable things happened.

A smile unconsciously crept onto Wayne's lips.

Chapter 210 I admire Miss Ge Li

Wayne, who had promised during the day to always stand by Chris's side, started having an affair after nightfall.

He climbed in through the window of the bedroom in the Geli room.

Stepping onto her soft carpet, I skillfully took off my shoes and slipped into Miss Ge Li's bed.

This has been done far too many times.

So much so that I no longer felt guilty about stealing from other people's homes, but instead felt like I had returned to my happy hometown.

Kareem has been busy lately, and since she also wants to avoid being seen by people at the academy, the two of them have agreed not to meet in secret at the academy.

Therefore, Wayne had no choice but to work a little harder, climbing the wall almost every night.

However, Miss Ge Li was not enthusiastic at all tonight.

His attitude was cold and indifferent.

As soon as Wayne lifted a corner of the thin blanket, before he could even feel the temperature inside, Ge Li rolled around a few times in the other direction.

The blanket was rolled up to the other end of the soft bed.

Wayne stared blankly at the empty half of the bed, then at the faint curves of the Gothic silhouette in the dim light.

Is she angry?

He crawled over little by little and pulled her, blanket and all, into his arms.

"Miss Ge Li, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

As he asked softly, Wayne also crossed his legs and pressed them against her.

"...You know it in your heart."

Her muffled voice came from under the blanket.

The room fell silent.

Wayne sighed inwardly.

He had no intention of defending himself, nor did he intend to defend himself.

He simply... pulled the blanket aside little by little, revealing Ge Li's deep gaze, and then lowered his head to kiss her.

Is there a way to have it all in this world?

A relationship that goes astray from the very beginning means that intimacy between either party will continuously hurt the other.

The deeper and more earnest the kiss, the stronger the premonition that one day these feelings will be lost.

He has hurt them time and time again because of his own greed, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

Such excessive behavior—

Really, can this last?

He felt like he was just walking through a fog, unable to see either the way home or the road ahead.

It's more like knowing that there's an abyss not far ahead, yet still clinging to that last sliver of hope as a lifeline, and walking forward with your eyes closed.

The two kissed for a long time before separating.

The thin blanket that Ge Li had wrapped around his body was already crumpled into a messy ball, and someone had thrown it on the ground.

"Are you taking this as a way to appease me?"

She asked in a trembling voice.

The feeling of their skin touching under the moonlight was both scorching and icy.

Wayne fell silent.

—If we don't do this, we won't know what to do next.

In a sense, this can be seen as his struggle before he dies.

He held onto the gift without moving, his mind filled with random thoughts.

“Speak up…” Ge Li pleaded.

My chest felt as if an unbearable weight was pressing down on it, causing a dull, persistent pain.

He was somewhat sad.

If I had to say something, I could only say... I'm sorry.

He couldn't find any other promises he could make besides that he would always love her and never leave.

He didn't want to lie anymore.

He hated his own greed, yet he simply couldn't accept losing what he had already gained.

It's less about comforting them and more about comforting himself.

Over and over again, he tried to prove something through his intimacy with them.

He even convinced himself that because they all liked him and couldn't live without him, they would tolerate his despicable behavior.

Aren't you happy now?

Wouldn't it be better to just continue living like this?

A voice inside me said this.

but--

Why does this feeling of happiness taste so painful?

“You know perfectly well that’s not what I wanted to hear,” Ge Li said disappointedly.

Wayne hugged her a little tighter.

"But that's all I can say."

After saying those words, even my own heart felt a chill.

Just as he had foreseen, cold tears soaked his open chest.

However, even though he was prepared to be kicked out, Ge Li did not ask him to get out.

She simply hugged him back silently, crying quietly and without a sound.

Each tear that fell felt like it pierced my heart.

Everything quickly became riddled with holes.

—Would it be much better if I hadn't fallen in love with him?

He couldn't help but think that.

If I pretend to be oblivious and never notice her feelings, would I avoid this dilemma?

They blame their inner struggles on others and simply enjoy the love of others.

Such methods are despicable, but very effective, aren't they?

At least then I won't feel as guilty as I do now.

He finally understood why all the main characters in anime had to possess the attribute of being emotionally oblivious.

Anyone with a conscience... simply couldn't ignore the feelings of those around them.

"I'm sorry, please don't cry..."

Wayne lowered his head and gently sucked away her tears.

He used to despise the protagonists in those works who were full of hesitation and refused to face their own feelings.

When it was finally their turn, they suddenly realized—

Perhaps I'm not even as good as them.

He wanted to get even closer to her, but Ge Li pushed him away and stood up from the bedside.

Wayne looked up at her in confusion.

"I still have some things to do, you can do as you please," she said in a hoarse voice, wiping away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes with her palm.

The lights in the room were turned on again.

Ge Li sat back down at the table, closed his eyes, and took a few deep breaths.

After briefly composing himself, he took out a document from a pile of papers next to him and began to write.

These official duties should have been handled in the study.

However, as Ge Li became increasingly busy, he had to bring more and more tasks back to his bedroom and deal with them before going to bed.

Wayne watched almost as the pile of documents on the table grew day by day.

Lying on his side in bed, he stared intently at Ge Li, seemingly absorbed in his work and oblivious to his surroundings.

He knew it wasn't because those things were truly so urgent that they had to be dealt with immediately.

Rather, it's because—

She probably doesn't know how to face herself anymore.

After staring blankly for a while, he sat up and buttoned his clothes.

Upon hearing his movement, Ge Li paused for a moment.

But he didn't raise his head.

Wayne moved quietly behind her, slid his hands down her shoulders, and wrapped his arms around her.

"I don't know what will happen next," he said.

But at this moment—

"I truly love...Miss Kaleidoscope."

Chapter 211 Shocking! Wayne is about to be caught in bed with someone else?

The ink from Ge Li's brush continued to spread.

She listened to his complaints without saying a word.

As if ignoring his true feelings.

However, Wayne didn't want her answer.

He simply wanted to express his most genuine feelings to her once again.

All sounds are silent.

A desk lamp casts a dim, yellowish light around the room, while a gentle breeze carries the soft night air into the room.

Although she was unwilling to reply to him, Ge Li did not break free from his embrace.

He watched, in a somewhat awkward posture, as Goethe handled the Edgeworth family's official business.

A moment later.
