"Sister Ishtar, did you have a younger sister?" Changning asked vaguely while eating.

In Changning's world, anyone who can give her food is a good person.

Now that Sister Ishtar has given her so much food, and she gives her delicious food as soon as they meet, Sister Ishtar is such a kind person!

Of course, Shion-neechan is my absolute favorite person, without a doubt.

“Yes, she’s the most emotional person I’ve ever met.” Ishtar smiled. “I’ve never met anyone so passionate, it seems like she loves everything.”

"Whether it's experiments, music, or painting, whether you're talented or not, she can easily fall in love with them. I'm actually a little envious of her." Ishtar rested her chin on her hand, looking somewhat helpless. "There's really nothing in this world that she likes, as long as it's a positive thing."

"What is Changning's wish?" Ishtar asked with a smile.

"Eat!" Changning answered without hesitation.

But then Changning felt that answering with just one word wasn't specific enough, so she thought for a moment and added, "There's an endless supply of delicious food, you can keep eating and you'll never go hungry."

To be honest, Changning would probably like to try anything in this world except for excrement, which doesn't smell very pleasant.

For example, when they encounter an enemy, everyone is thinking about how to defeat them, but Changning is thinking about whether this enemy is more like orange or strawberry flavor... Why not, let's take a bite!

So, he tried and died.

"What a simple and beautiful wish." Ishtar sighed softly, her smile somewhat helpless: "In that case, I'm starting to envy Changning."

It's true, the simpler the wish, the more beautiful it is.

"What is your wish, sister?" Changning asked curiously, chewing on her cake. "Do you want your younger sister to come back?"

"No," Ishtar said with a smile, "it's about protecting this little garden."

"Huh?" Changning looked a little confused.

She had never heard of such a strange wish, and couldn't understand it at all. What was there to protect about the garden? If she cared so much about her sister, she should just let her sister come back.

Changning thinks Shiyin is a good person, and if she talks to Shiyin, Shiyin will definitely help, because her sister seems to care about her family.

“My sister sleeps under this maple tree.” Ishtar stroked the maple tree, her expression nostalgic. “This garden is my sister’s life’s work, so we must protect it well.”

"But why not just revive my sister?" Changning still didn't understand.

“Because I hate her.” Ishtar covered her mouth, laughing quite frankly: “She’s the person I hate the most, most, most.”

Shi Yin: "..."

Changning glanced at Shiyin, then at Ishtar.

not understand……

When Ishtar was talking about her younger sister, she looked so happy and nostalgic. Why is she saying she hates her sister now?

"I heard Changning was abused and never had enough to eat as a child?" Ishtar asked with a smile, then changed the subject: "Does Changning have any older or younger brothers?"

"Yes." Changning paused for a moment, then nodded: "I have a younger brother."

"If Changning isn't getting enough to eat, will your younger brother be able to?" Istanbul asked.

"I don't know, but Changning feels like she's not getting enough to eat because her younger brother only gets two eggs, a bowl of porridge, and a steamed bun a day." Changning said with a pained expression, seemingly seriously considering whether her younger brother was getting enough to eat.

If Changning only eats two eggs, a bowl of porridge, and a steamed bun a day, he feels he will be so hungry that he will eat the house and stones.

"What do people in Changning eat?" Ishtar asked curiously.

“Changning’s family has no food, but the half-eaten steamed bun that her younger brother can’t finish can be shared with Changning.” Changning didn’t understand: “Although Changning doesn’t understand why they can’t finish it.”

If it were her, she wouldn't hesitate to lick up even the last crumb, let alone leave half a piece uneaten.

"Does Changning hate her younger brother?" Ishtar asked again.

"I hate it." This time, Changning nodded decisively: "He likes to take my things. Every time he takes my things, he says I stole them, and my parents beat me and don't give me any food that day."

When this younger brother was mentioned, Changning's face turned terribly gloomy.

Later, when she went out to play with her younger brother, she accidentally fell and claimed that she was the one who pushed her. However, her parents clearly knew that she had been picking vegetable leaves at home that day, but they still sold her.

Changning couldn't understand why the slander she could see so clearly was still being blamed on her, nor could she understand why her family harbored such pure malice towards her.

Needless to say, what happened next was that Guan Nianshan bought Changning, and Shi Yin rescued him, so he could live a life where he could always have enough to eat.

“I get it, Sister Ishtar’s sister is annoying too!” Changning instantly empathized.

“No, that’s not it… My sister isn’t that bad.” Ishtar said helplessly. Sure enough, everyone’s experience is different: “How should I put it, everyone’s eyes are on her. She’s a pure, good, optimistic and cheerful person, but that makes me seem worthless.”

Ishtar's smile was somewhat bitter.

"Although my younger sister cares about me a lot and shares her favorite foods with me, and holds my hand hoping that our parents will give me some love, it's just adding insult to injury for me."

Ishtar will never forget that day. Her sister listened to her troubles and decided to ask her parents to treat everyone equally and not be biased.

However, the first thing her parents said was, "Did you threaten your sister? Aren't we good enough to you? You have resources that ordinary people can't even enjoy, and you're not satisfied and you're even leading your sister astray?"

But she clearly didn't say anything.

It was raining that day. In the dead of night, Ishtar knelt on the stone path in the back garden, facing a dark warehouse where a servant had once hanged herself in a red dress. Whenever a child made a mistake, they had to kneel and reflect on their actions while looking at that door.

They found Ishtar disgusting; she was so young and already trying to win favor. How could such low-class methods of pleasing men be allowed in their home?

The younger sister didn't understand and argued with them all night, but the more agitated she became, the more her parents felt that Ishtar had led her astray.

That day, Ishtar knelt in the back garden, gradually becoming numb to the noise coming from the house behind her. She learned to pretend and obey. After becoming a politician, she used some underhanded tactics to drive her parents out of the company and then killed them under the guise of an accident.

Therefore, when someone betrays humanity and is persuaded by the enemy to join the new world, Ishtar is the most understanding and has the least objection. She understands, is not angry, and sees it as just another enemy. She deals with traitors out of rules rather than anger.

Because no one knows better than her how addictive money and power can be.

She only needed to sit and someone would help her. The moment she killed her parents and took over the company, Ishtar felt an excitement flowing in her blood for the first time in twenty years, which overshadowed her heartache.

“Everyone in the world, all my friends, the people I like, my parents and relatives, anyone who has met my sister is attracted to her. I really, really hate her.” Ishtar was smiling, but her words were choked with emotion.

"But I really love her. She's the only one who cares about me, she's genuinely good to me, she's not playing any tricks, she's the only person in the world who loves me."

Ishtar knew that her younger sister would hold a knife to her own throat to threaten their parents into not punishing her anymore, and would give her her favorite food. If her older sister wanted something, her younger sister would use herself as an excuse to ask for two portions, and then give them all to her older sister.

"The whole world loves her, and I love her too."
