Yun Shishi was rendered speechless.
âDid you have fun today?â she asked with a smile.
When he was fishing earlier, she knelt at the side to watch. At that moment, she felt as if they had returned to when they were young. He would catch ants while she squatted at the side, holding her head and watching quietly.
It was a closeness she had never had before as she watched the man fish goldfish quietly.
They had matured too fast. Therefore, every childhood memory of hers was extremely precious.
After all, she could never go back to their happy, youthful days.
Some people were sentimental for those times they could never go back to.
Gong Jie glanced at her lovingly as he spoke in a gentle voice. âIâm happy as long as Iâm with you.â
âWhy is your mouth so sweet? It seems to be smeared with honey.â
His sister coyly pushed his shoulder. While she appeared to be feeling disdainful, she was actually extremely happy.
The man hugged her all of a sudden. âSis...â
âHm?â
Yun Shishi was stunned to see him leaning against her gently. Almost half of his upper bodyâs weight rested on her shoulder. It was as if he hated to part from her.
âI donât wanna be separated from you.â He spoke coquettishly.
âThen, we shall not be separated for the rest of our lives.â
âBut you have my brother-in-law now.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He seemed to hold some resentment toward his sisterâs husband.
She remained quiet for a while before responding, âYou will also marry someone and have kids someday.â
âNo, thanks.
âI donât want that. I donât want a wife and just want you...â said her brother, seemingly repulsed by the thought.
The woman could feel sweetness in her heart but also indescribable sourness.
This rascal, was he acting coy with her?!
The problem was his skill was comparable to Youyouâs.
Both had possessive streaks.
The uncle-nephew pair was similar in their coquettish antics.
She heard once of a parable, saying that different-gendered twins were lovers in their past lives who had a morbid obsession as they were in love but unable to stay together until the end.
If two lovers in their past lives died in the name of love, they would become different-gendered twins in their next lives. They would be together before they were born and have an unbreakable, lifetime bond, where they could protect each other but never fall in love.
This was the prize God gave them for their unwavering loyalty to their love but a punishment for not treasuring their lives.
Yun Shishi was not superstitious about such legends of preexistence, but to her, Gong Jie had been her protector when they were young.
These feelings were deeper than her relationship with Mu Yazhe.
She could feel the dependence her brother had toward her.
âWhat are you thinking about?â asked her twin doubtfully, noticing her dazed look.
âNothing!â
She regained her senses and dismissed her wild thoughts. Smiling, she asked, âShall we head back?â
âSo early?â
âYou can stay for dinner tonight; I will cook some soup for you.â
The man was highly suspicious about it. âYou know how to cook?â
âOf course!â said the woman delightedly.
He splashed her with cold water unceremoniously. âWonât it be life-threatening to eat the food that you cook?â
âGet lost!â
âI must be responsible for my safety.â
âDonât worry; with your condition, even arsenic wonât be able to kill you.â
âYour food might be more poisonous than arsenic.â
âDonât think I wonât dare to hit you!â
âTen of you wonât be able to beat me.â
âWho says so?â
âI can lift you up with just one arm.â
...
The two bickered all the way to the car.
All of a sudden, the man sensed something off behind them. He turned around and glanced at an area with secluded trees. He turned his head back quietly, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
