Chapter 169


Sui Yan gazed deeply at the indistinct figure beneath a certain tree, her gaze slowly becoming unfocused.

It was him again.

Why did he always appear at times like this? Every time, he came to help her when she was at her most miserable and desperate.

Yet he only helped her out of pity and sympathy, not because he liked her.

Sui Yan drew the curtains and returned to the bedside.

She still didn't want to see Qi Linhan, she didn't want to feel that she was always pitied by him.

Just like now, it was surely because of guilt again.

Qi Linhan stood beneath that tree, reluctant to look away from the window that had once again dimmed.

...

Liu Hua and Xu Yi left home early the next morning, but they left a note for Xu Mo, telling him to keep an eye on Sui Yu.

Sui Yan pretended that she hadn't seen anything last night and got up early in the morning.

Xu Mo was originally making breakfast for his sister downstairs, and was a little surprised to see her coming down: "Sister, why are you up so early today?"

Sui Yan responded indifferently and walked over slowly: "Don't make too much, just something simple will do."

Xu Mo's movements paused for a moment: "Okay."

Ti Zi followed proudly behind Sui Yan, looking at the slender girl in front of it with both nostalgia and heartache.

After Sui Yan sat on the couch, it raised its paw and placed it beside her: "Woof!"

Sui Yan, you should cheer up a bit.

Sui Yan gently grasped Ti Zi's wolf paw: "Ti Zi, do you know... who I really am?"

Was she the Sui Yan who committed suicide, or the Sui Yan who was doted on while growing up?

Ti Zi jumped onto the couch and lay beside Sui Yan, looking into her eyes.

It didn't make a sound, but Sui Yan knew what it meant to say.

He felt a little guilty: "Sister, what's wrong?"

Sui Yan lowered her head to drink the porridge: "Nothing."

Xu Mo relaxed a little, but before he could fully unwind, he heard his sister's indifferent voice continue: "You don't need to bother with them, they'll be gone in a couple of days."

Xu Mo weakly agreed, hesitating for a while but ultimately deciding not to tell his sister about Sui Yu and the others' current state.

He had a hunch that in the end, his sister would definitely forgive them, so for now he might as well make things a little unpleasant for them.

Sui Yan didn't say much more about this matter. She took a couple sips of porridge, then suddenly asked: "Where did Mom and Uncle Xu go?"

This time, Xu Mo really didn't know: "Mom and Dad didn't say, they just said they'd be back before night."

Sui Yan had a vague guess in her heart, so she changed the subject: "Mmm, I have to go out to buy some things this afternoon, you'll come with me."

Xu Mo meekly reminded her: "Sister, I'm only fifteen, I don't have a driver's license. And none of our family drivers are here either..."

Sui Yan glanced at her foolish little brother: "I do."

Xu Mo's words stuck in his throat: "Huh? Sister, when did you get your driver's license?"

Sui Yan pushed him aside: "Don't worry about it so much, just come with me to buy some things this afternoon."

Xu Mo easily accepted his role as a tool, and was extraordinarily obedient: "Okay!"

Sui Yan's gaze unconsciously shifted towards the window for a moment, then silently returned. She pinched her fingertips, trying to shift her focus.

What was there to look at? Just a few people she didn't want to deal with at all.

Xu Mo had noticed his sister's abnormal behavior early on, but he didn't dare remind her, only secretly praying that she could hold on a little longer and not easily forgive them.

Before the afternoon arrived, Sui Yan had settled Ti Zi and dragged Xu Mo to prepare to go out.

Xu Mo frowned as he fastened his seatbelt, saying: "Sister, are you sure Lu Yunling won't come out to cause trouble again? For some reason, I feel a little uneasy."

Sui Yan seemed unconcerned, saying calmly, "Could it be that too many things have happened lately, and you're having delusions? She's nearly dead, how could she still cast any spells?"

Xu Mo, however, still could not put his mind at ease. He reluctantly agreed, "I suppose so."

Well, he'd just have to be more vigilant.
