Chapter 415 Why Blame You?

Ye Wanxi's mention reminded Feng Tianyu of it as well.

When my junior sister was six years old, she did indeed sneak off to the back of the mountain to pick berries because she was greedy and didn't want them to.

I don't know how she managed to climb up a fruit tree by the stream, even though it was a three-headed chick.

The branches of the fruit tree were as young as the little girl, and could not support her sturdy weight at all, and were tragically broken under the strain.

As a result, the junior sister fell into the river under the tree with a splash.

What's worse, Ye Wanxi couldn't swim at all. After falling into the river, she was completely stunned. She cried and struggled in the river, almost getting swallowed up by the turbulent current.

Fortunately, Qi Yingxuan, who was in a period of being disliked by both people and dogs, was nearby cleaning up a hornet's nest.

Hearing the noise, he ran over and saw that it was his junior sister who had fallen into the river. He quickly pulled her out from under the water.

Otherwise, Ye Wanxi would probably have died before the demons invaded.

However, although she was rescued, she had been in the water for a while and was so frightened that Ye Wanxi had a high fever for several days after returning home. It took her almost half a month to recover.

This frightened her senior brothers so much that they dared not let her run around alone anymore. Even if they didn't accompany her when she went out, they would always ask others to help take care of her.

Upon suddenly learning the truth, Feng Tianyu's first reaction was: "So, that's why you hid from us for so long after you recovered from your illness that year?"

"It wasn't a long time at all. It was just... a month."

Ye Wanxi mumbled a rebuttal, but the tips of her ears turned noticeably red.

If she were born with knowledge, her mental age would be at least a teenager, and she certainly wouldn't be able to act like a babbling toddler and act cute with her senior brothers.

The key point is that when she first transmigrated or was reincarnated, she had no memory of this life, so she could immerse herself in the role without any psychological burden.

This made it a complete disaster when she remembered everything and faced those senior brothers who were only a few years older than her but radiated the aura of a kind father!

It took Ye Wanxi a whole month to finally adjust her mindset, accept reality, and give up and continue being her baby.

Hearing her soft rebuttal, Feng Tianyu's smile deepened, and he deliberately teased her: "That month was longer than a year for the rest of us. We all thought you were blaming us for not protecting you and were deliberately sulking and ignoring us."

Ye Wanxi was stunned, and said awkwardly, "It wasn't your fault in the first place, why would I be upset with you?"

"Would you have avoided us for a month if you hadn't been arguing?"

"..." She really couldn't refute that. She was indeed being difficult, but not with them, she was being difficult with herself.

Ye Wanxi pursed her lips, carefully grasped Feng Tianyu's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Senior Brother, will... will you blame me?"

"Why do you blame me?"

"It's my fault for not telling you sooner." Despite being an adult who has lived two lives, he still comfortably enjoys the pampering of his senior brothers like a child.

Feng Tianyu stared at her for a long while, but instead of answering her question directly, he asked seriously, "Are you our junior sister?"

Ye Wanxi's hands, hanging by her sides, tightened unconsciously, but her tone was firm: "Of course."

"If that's the case, why blame you?"

"But……"

"No matter who you are, no matter if you have memories of your past life, no matter what identity you have in your past or present lives that we don't know about, you are still my junior sister."

Feng Tianyu reluctantly added after finishing his sentence, "They must think the same way."

Upon hearing Feng Tianyu's words, Ye Wanxi slowly loosened her clenched fist, and her tense nerves relaxed slightly.

Feng Tianyu noticed the change in her expression and chuckled, "Not bothered anymore?"

"It's not that I'm conflicted, it's just that I'm afraid you'll blame me for not telling you sooner, and I'm afraid you'll hate me because of this."

"Silly girl," Feng Tianyu patted her head, amused. "How could I possibly dislike you because of this?"

Ye Wanxi chuckled for a while, then seemed to have thought of something and frowned in thought.

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's just that it feels a bit strange. You and your fellow disciples regained your memories of your past lives after reincarnation, so your life a thousand years ago was your past life, and also your cause. This life is the effect."

“But I’m not.” Ye Wanxi paused, then lowered her eyes and said, “When I regained my memories, I thought I had transmigrated to another world, a completely unfamiliar place, and I thought I would only be born, grow old, get sick, and die there for the rest of my life. Who knew that I would be back after I died? So, which one is my past life? Which one is my cause?”

Feng Tianyu seemed to have thought of something, his eyes flashing slightly: "If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. Some things are preordained. If you really delve into it, you'll only cause yourself trouble."

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? It's a strange and profound philosophical question.

Feng Tianyu didn't care about the intricacies of the situation; he only cared whether his junior sister was still alive and well, by his side, and would never leave again.

Ye Wanxi thought about it and felt that it made some sense. Although she still had some doubts, she didn't dwell on it anymore.

The two stayed in the storage room for more than half an hour before coming out. Before leaving, Ye Wanxi wanted to see the children in the yard, so she followed the route in her memory and took Feng Tianyu to the place where the children usually rested.

As soon as I stepped outside, I heard a soft sobbing coming from inside. The voice was very small and childish, and just hearing it made my heart melt and twist.

A few steps further in, you can see several big kids leading a few little kids anxiously surrounding Aunt Meng. In Aunt Meng's arms, she is holding a tiny baby, and the faint cries are coming from the baby's mouth.

“Aunt Meng…” Ye Wanxi immediately noticed that something was wrong with the baby. Not only was the baby’s crying weak and feeble, but the baby’s face and fingertips were also slightly purple, indicating that the baby had a congenital heart disease.

There are only a few possibilities for a child with congenital heart disease to appear in an orphanage.

Before Ye Wanxi could think further, several children who were following Xiao Yan ran towards them with bright eyes and surprised expressions.

"Sister Xixi, is that Sister Xixi?"

Ye Wanxi paused, looking at the children who were both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar, and tentatively asked, "Xiao Hai, Shuangshuang, Wenqian, Ruirui..."

As Ye Wanxi uttered each name, the corresponding child couldn't help but tear up, gazing at her expectantly, like fledglings finally waiting for their loved ones to return to their nest.
