Li Tianyi's heart felt as if it were being stabbed repeatedly, the pain was excruciating and suffocating.

Tong Ruolan also sobbed, "Brother Tian, ​​please don't be like this, it makes me feel bad."

At the same time, many women emerged from the vicinity, all with red eyes, and walked slowly towards them.

"Brother Tian, ​​it turns out you were the one who loved me the most." Wang Xue'er smiled bitterly, memories of her time with Xiaoman flashing before her eyes, and tears streamed down her face.

"To be able to marry such a devoted man, my life has not been in vain." Luo Ying rushed over and hugged him tightly.

Seeing the scene before her, Shangguan Xun'er felt a pang of guilt. "If I had known that Brother Tian missed Big Sister so much, I shouldn't have persuaded Tong Ruolan to appear in front of him."

Su Wanru patted her arm, "You did the right thing." Pointing to Li Tianyi, she said, "He has been under too much pressure all along. If he doesn't release it, he may fall into demonic possession again. At that time, not only will I be unable to save him, but even the Heavenly Venerable will be helpless."

"In that case, let them be alone. Let's go." Shangguan Xun'er turned and left.

Su Wanru nodded to the other sisters, and everyone left one after another.

Soon after, only Li Tianyi and Tong Ruolan remained.

The two stopped crying, their eyes red, and stood there.

As time went on, Tong Ruolan spoke first, "Brother Tian, ​​we all know that no one can replace Big Sister in your heart. I don't expect you to love me the same way you love Big Sister, I only hope to ease your longing when you are sad, that's enough."

“You are you, not Xiaoman.” Li Tianyi’s attitude was firm. “I will never treat you as a copy or substitute for Xiaoman. I will try to accept and let go slowly. Please give me some time.”

"I'll wait however long it takes," Tong Ruolan nodded slightly.

Xiaoman's image flashed before Li Tianyi's eyes, quickly merging with his own, and he was momentarily dazed.

Tong Ruolan agreed to come here because she watched the training videos left by Xiaoman for a long time, and over time she learned to imitate them to a great extent.

He held her tightly, which frightened Ruolan into struggling.

She was mentally prepared to sacrifice herself, but when she faced Li Tianyi, the image of Xiaoman would flash through her mind, and a sense of guilt would fill her heart.

Given that she had never been so close to a man before, it was normal for her to feel flustered and scared.

Li Tianyi released her, his expression bitter. "You are still you, and she is still her."

He turned around and stumbled away.

Watching his retreating figure, Tong Ruolan felt conflicted and helpless, unsure of what to do.

"Open your heart, don't be so calculating. The more you calculate, the more you will suffer." Wan Jingling gradually deactivated her invisibility and smiled faintly. "Also, don't forget why you decided to come here in the first place."

Tong Ruolan was startled, recalling her original self.

The fear on his face disappeared, the corners of his mouth gradually turned up, and finally he laughed out loud.

"Returning to our original intentions, we realize that everything is so simple and pure."

Wan Jingling gave a thumbs up and disappeared.

Tong Ruolan smiled, humming a little tune, and skipped and hopped towards where Li Tianyi lived...

The kitchen was bustling with activity.

Xiaoyuer is preparing tonight's main dish: boiled fish.

"Stop everything."

Everyone turned to look at Su Wanruo as she entered.

"Big sister, what went wrong?"

Everyone was a little worried.

Su Wanruo smiled slightly, "Ruolan went to Tiange's room."

"Got it." Most people understood immediately, except for the three young ladies who came with Ruolan, whose brows furrowed slightly.

"Big, Big Sister." Fear flashed in Cheng Bingbing's eyes, and she was a little shy. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz. "I heard, I heard that Brother Tian is very strong. I'm worried that Ruolan won't be able to handle it."

Yin Tingting and Yin Yiting blushed as red as apples, lowered their heads, and dared not look at everyone.

Su Wanru's gaze swept over everyone. "You can rest assured about that; he knows what he's doing." She smiled faintly and nudged Cheng Bingbing. "If you're still worried, you can go help him!"

"Huh?" Cheng Bingbing stomped her foot and ran out of the kitchen.

The twin sisters quickly followed.

"whee!"

"hehe!"

After the initial joy, a bitter smile appeared on Su Wanru's lips...

Li Tianyi's room.

Tong Ruolan had been standing at the door for a long time, raising her hand and then lowering it, then raising it again.

After much difficulty, I made up my mind and knocked on the door.

Just as his fingers were about to touch the door, Li Tianyi's voice came: "You can leave now. Come back when you're ready."

"I'm ready." Tong Ruolan's eyes became very firm. She gently pushed open the door and closed it behind her.

"Brother Tian!" He walked forward slowly.

Li Tianyi smiled wryly and greeted him, "Why are you doing this to yourself?"

“I’m not suffering, it’s you who are suffering.” Tong Ruolan boldly hugged him. “I’ve thought a lot about this, and I’ve finally figured it out.” She hugged him tighter. “As long as it makes you happy, I’ll try to become the big sister, even if it’s just for a moment, at least your heart won’t hurt so much.”

"Silly girl, you are you, and Xiaoman is Xiaoman. You are both unique." Li Tianyi stroked her hair.

Tong Ruolan secretly vowed in her heart: "Even if I am just the shadow of the eldest sister in the future, I will only suffer alone."

Although Li Tianyi couldn't see the change in her expression, he could deduce her thoughts from the altered aura. He shouted sternly, "Tong Ruolan, be yourself, and I might actually fall in love with you. If you keep trying to become a copy of Xiaoman, I will never see you again."

Tong Ruolan was pushed away, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"You, Big Sister, are irreplaceable and unreplicable in my heart," Li Tianyi said sternly.

"I understand." Tong Ruolan nodded emphatically, even her way of speaking and tone had changed. "Brother Tian, ​​from now on, I am who I am, and I am no one else. Whether you like me or not, I love you deeply."

She threw herself into his arms and gave him a sweet kiss.

Li Tianyi could clearly sense that she had truly returned to being herself and was responding accordingly.

He was a seasoned lover, and soon he had the novice, Ruolan, completely overwhelmed by his kisses, leaving her breathless.

She finally managed to push him away, her face flushed, incredibly shy, "Can...can we do it tonight?"

"certainly."

Crying is indeed the best way for humans to release their emotions, and Li Tianyi is no exception. Now, when he thinks of Xiaoman, his heart only aches faintly, not as intensely as before.

Tong Ruolan was deeply moved and gave him a sweet kiss, saying, "Husband, you're so good to me!"

After quickly straightening her clothes and making sure everything was alright, she took Li Tianyi's hand and said, "The sisters are still waiting for us to eat, let's go."

The two walked side by side out of the room.

Upon arriving at the dining room, Li Tianyi saw a room full of women sitting inside and greeted them with a smile.

Just then, Zuo Xiyue came out of the kitchen with dishes. She was a little surprised to see them and deliberately walked around to Li Tianyi's side, asking in a low voice, "So fast? Are you not up to it?"

Tong Ruolan was very close to them, and her face immediately turned red with embarrassment, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Stomping her foot and rolling her eyes, she yelled, "Sis!"

Li Tianyi glared at her. "You can try."

Zuo Xiyue quickly ran away, looking scared. "I'm not stupid. If I'm going to try it, I'll find a few more girlfriends to go with me. You're too scary."

"Cough, cough!"

Everyone fell silent and turned to look at Su Wanru.

"Sisters, this is the first time we've all gathered together like this." After a pause, "I'm sure you don't all know everyone, so let me introduce myself first. I'm Su Wanru, a military doctor, 25 years old."

The women who had been following Li Tianyi first stood up one after another.

"Wang Xueer, a telecommunications expert, is 19 years old."

"Fang Yi, sniper, 24 years old."

"Luo Ying, assault soldier, 23 years old."

......

Several minutes later, only the four people brought by Shangguan Xun'er remained.

"Tong Ruolan, pilot, 18 years old, 170 cm tall, short hair, thin, skilled in fighter jets."

"Cheng Bingbing, pilot, 20 years old, 171 cm tall, short hair, neither fat nor thin, skilled in assault fighter jets."

"Yin Tingting, pilot, 19 years old, 169 cm tall, twin sister, short hair, slightly chubby, skilled in behind-enemy-lines operations."

"Yin Yiting, pilot, 19 years old, 169 cm tall, twin sister, short hair, slightly chubby, skilled in behind-enemy-lines operations."

Su Wanru led the applause, her face beaming with smiles, "Welcome our four sisters to our big family."

"Thank you!" The four bowed slightly, their pretty faces blushing with shyness.

Li Tianyi, however, had a long face, his lips twitched, and he muttered to himself, "Damn, when did I have 38 women?"

“It’s not 38, it’s 46.” Shangguan Xun’er said seriously. “There are eight more, I’ll arrange them for you tomorrow.”

"Holy crap!"

His comical appearance amused the women, who all laughed heartily, their beauty captivating.

Li Tianyi was speechless and lowered his head to eat his food.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

"It's getting late, why don't you take Brother Tian back to his room?" Su Wanru's smile deepened.

The four women were all inexperienced in such matters, and even after drinking some alcohol, they were still somewhat reserved.

"Yingxue, Xiaohan, take them back."

"Yes, eldest sister."

The five people led the four girls out of the dining hall.

On the way, Tong Ruolan wanted to ask several times, but felt embarrassed and held back.

As they approached the room, she couldn't hold back any longer and whispered, "Five sisters, was it really painful the first time?"

The five nodded.

“But don’t worry, Brother Tian is very gentle.” Qu Yingxue smiled and pointed to the other four people. “We were all together back then, you can ask them if you don’t believe me.”

The four of them blushed slightly and rolled their eyes at her. "Sis!"

"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Qu Yingxue said sternly. "There are no outsiders here. You guys should teach your sisters more about the ways of husband and wife so they don't have to suffer too much."

The five people began explaining some basic common sense to them...

The four people who heard this were so ashamed that their faces almost bled, and they kept kicking the roadside weeds.

Wild grass: If you're shy, then be shy. We didn't do anything to you, we've already kicked them all to pieces.

Shortly after, they entered the room.

The five people did not leave, but stood outside the door waiting for Li Tianyi to come over.

It took about ten minutes for him to come into view.

"Brother Tian, ​​I'm warning you, don't hurt them, do you hear me?" Qu Yingxue said seriously.

"knew."

Li Tianyi pushed the door open and entered, then closed it behind him. "Aren't you leaving? Want to stay and watch the show?"

"you?"

The five of them took off running.

As I closed the door and was about to go over, someone hugged me from behind, and a sweet voice came from behind: "Honey, let us help you undress."
