Episode 1: Will the moment of reunion make you cry? Part 6
With mocking eyes and a devilish smile, Keling was now displaying her most black-bellied side.
“Don’t move… although you probably can’t anymore.
“Alright, the talkative one is immobilized, so we can finally have a proper talk. We’ve never really talked before. This is a good opportunity. We need to resolve the issues between us now.”
Xinran said this.
She’s become much more mature, Xinran.
Xinran noticed my gaze and glanced at me. I quickly averted my eyes.
However, she didn’t comment on my behavior and continued speaking to Jiuyuan.
“To get straight to the point, Keling and I have decided to accept you as our sister.
“Eh? What are you talking about? Accept me?”
Jiuyuan incredulously asked.
It was normal for her to react this way. I myself thought Xinran would say something like, ‘Keling and I haven’t acknowledged you as our sister yet.’
But the result was acceptance.
This also explained their concern for Jiuyuan earlier.
“You’re replacing the one over there, so you’ve become our sister.”
What does “the one over there” even mean? Have they been reduced to that level?
Keling, with her arms crossed, continued,
“Since this one so casually gave up this bond, there’s no need for my sister and I to continue holding on… It’s exactly what we want.”
“Yes, our parents have also acknowledged you as family. And thanks to you, Mom Qian was able to wake up.”
Mom Qian refers to Aunt Qing, Keling and my birth mother.
In this world, it seems she became our birth… No, after giving birth to Jiuyuan and Keling, she fell into a coma, becoming a vegetative state, and then met An Yue, who later became Mom…
An Qian only woke up recently. It was naturally Jiuyuan who woke her. Only she could awaken souls.
As for why “the facts” turned out this way, I’ll explain later. For now, Dad has stepped into a Shura Field.
No, Dr. Mengyu He needs to be added. That makes three people?
Dad, you’re quite the scum of the earth, tsk tsk tsk.
“So, we’ve decided to accept you. And we’ve ‘had a sister’ before.”
Xinran was definitely referring to Zi’ai and what happened in the Mirror World.
They’ve recalled that memory too…
Ah, wait. Then, then, could, could Keling have remembered what happened back then?
I panicked.
If she remembered that, then everything would be over!
“Then Keling, why were you avoiding me before? I thought you really hated me, or even resented me…”
Keling stammered, unable to speak, her expression a little embarrassed.
So, Xinran stepped in to speak for Keling.
“I’ll speak for Keling. She doesn’t hate you. She just said she felt strange when she was around you.”
“Felt strange… It’s probably because we were originally one person… An Keling, your soul was personally created and placed into this body by me.”
Jiuyuan directly revealed this fact, and Keling’s eyes widened.
“But I had no intention of replacing you, because I initially saw you as myself. All your thoughts, all your longings, all your emotions, I know them all.”
“So I understand you. It’s just that he didn’t want me to be you. He told me to return the body, soul, and even the name An Keling to you. This is enough to prove your status in his heart.”
The three of them looked at me, their eyes filled with a hint of emotion, making me a little embarrassed.
Since you’re so moved, ladies, could you untie me first?
Unfortunately, no one understood my meaning conveyed through my raised eyebrows.
“I understand… Thank you. Because of you, I could be born… I’m willing to call you sister.”
“Keling…”
“Of course, Xinran is also my sister. We three sisters must get along! Always!”
“Yes, Keling is right. Now, we are family.”
Jiuyuan couldn’t help but wipe away a tear.
It was so touching. The three of them reconciled.
Now the family is complete, and Jiuyuan can feel the warmth of family affection.
So… can I leave now?
“Ran… the one over there, um, you’ve been back for a long time, yet you only came to find us now.”
Ah, damn it, they know already?
“Don’t think we don’t know. The moment our memories returned, you also returned to this world, right?”
Keling said sulkily, arms crossed.
“But it’s been several months since our memories returned, hasn’t it? You haven’t come to find us even once during this time.”
Huh? It’s been several months?
I had no sense of time at all… I’ve completely lost my sense of time.
“And you unilaterally cut ties…”
Xinran’s expression darkened completely.
I’m sorry. That was my fault… Jiuyuan needed a family more.
Then Keling shouted.
“This is great!”
Huh?
“This is great?”
While I was wondering, I saw Keling’s extremely excited expression, her twin tails bouncing.
“Heehee… Hahahahahahahaha! Great! Great! Great! Great! Great!”
She let out a wild laugh, overjoyed, her mouth unable to close.
Then, Xinran also smiled. Although not as exaggerated as Keling’s, her unconcealed excitement was evident.
“Brother! You’re finally not our brother anymore!”
Although it felt contradictory, I understood what Keling meant.
Given the current situation and reality, I am indeed no longer their brother.
“Yes, even Mom and Dad don’t remember Brother anymore. No one will think of you as our brother anymore. Brother is already our brother, just an unrelated stranger.”
Calling me a stranger is a bit harsh. Although it’s the truth, at least we have our past memories.
“Heehee, even the most crucial barrier is gone~”
“Brother…”
Actually, I shouldn’t call you Brother anymore… An Juncheng. It feels strange to call you by your name.
Don’t say it feels strange to you; it feels strange to me too.
“But that’s okay. Even if everyone forgets, you can still call me Brother, and you can call me sister. It’s just a title, right?”
“And you were the one who removed that barrier yourself. As expected, you’ve been thinking about it too, haven’t you? Just like us… heehee.”
No, I really haven’t.
But there’s no use saying anything to them now.
Xinran and Keling approached me as they spoke.
Their distorted, fervent expressions made me uneasy, and I instinctively stepped back, but I immediately hit the wall, with nowhere left to retreat.
In the dim room, the two of them had lost all reason.
It’s really come to this…
Is there really no other way? I looked through the gap between them at the awkward Jiuyuan, unwilling to give up. Please save me, my Yuan’er…
Xinran and Keling noticed my gaze and both turned to look at Jiuyuan.
They extended their hands towards her.
“Sister.” “Jiuyuan-jiajie (Sister Jiuyuan).”
Then they made an invitation.
“You come over too?” x2
So, Jiuyuan also walked in front of me, but not to free me.
The last bit of light in front of me was blocked. The three of them cornered me against the wall.
“Right, I heard that Jiuyuan-jiajie, you and Brother were originally brother and sister.”
“And now you have the surname An too. Now you are truly brother and sister.”
……
“So, Sister, you should use that title too.”
“But…”
“Try it.”
Don’t, Jiuyuan, don’t be swayed.
That title is absolutely not…
“B-Brother….”
*Poof…*
I’m dead…
I’ve given up all hope.
You guys, in this life, will only bully pitiful, weak, and helpless me.
I’ve also given up thinking.
……
