Chapter 32 Chapter 32: Relief, or a reward? ...

This is the third New Year that Song Youning has spent here since he transmigrated into the book.

This year's New Year's Eve was more lively at the Song family than ever before. Mother Song had recovered from a serious illness last year, and Father Song had called all the relatives to celebrate.

The familiar faces made Song Youning a little dazed.

Not only do "Song Youning's" parents look exactly like her parents in the real world, but even her relatives correspond one to one.

Yet these people are warm and friendly, completely opposite to how they are in the real world.

The original owner had a happy and complete family. If she had not been inexplicably brought into this world to complete a mission, Song Youning felt that this book was more like an attempt to give her a perfection that she had never experienced before.

Ji Siyun also spent New Year's Eve with them. Since he started working at the Song Group, Song's father seemed to have a better impression of him and no longer regarded him as a transparent person living in the house.

"Oh, the brother and sister have such a good relationship."

Ji Siyun pushed a plate of peeled shrimps in front of Song Youning, and Song Xiaogu, who was sitting opposite, smiled with her eyes narrowed.

He paused while wiping his hands, his dark eyes dimmed slightly, Ji Siyun raised his eyelids and looked over coldly, his inorganic black eyes looked devoid of any human touch.

Song Xiaogu felt a chill on her back when she saw his gaze. She was about to speak when she was suddenly interrupted by Song Youning.

"Aunt." Song Youning had just forked a shrimp into her mouth, her cheeks puffed slightly. She spoke vaguely, "We are not brother and sister."

Aunt Song knew how much "Song Youning" hated Ji Siyun in the past, so when she denied it, Aunt Song subconsciously assumed that Song Youning didn't want to have anything to do with Ji Siyun. She nodded in agreement, "That's right. After all, he's an adopted son. How can he be on friendly terms with our Ningning?"

"That's not what I meant." Song Youning put down his chopsticks and explained to her, "We are not brother and sister, because..."

Ji Siyun, who was sitting next to him, suddenly brightened up his dark eyes, unable to hide his expectation. He turned sideways to look at Song Youning.

The eldest lady denied that they were siblings. Did she admit that he was hers and was ready to make her relationship with him public?

He didn't care about the contempt in Song Xiaogu's tone, his eyes only focused on Song Youning. He wiped his big hands under the table, and nervously, he quietly reached out to her, wanting to shake her hand.

"I'm the older sister." Song Youning said seriously, "He's the younger brother."

The hand full of expectation froze in the air and was withdrawn dejectedly. Ji Siyun's expectations were dashed, his eyelids drooped, and his long eyelashes blocked the dark emotions that suddenly surged in his dark eyes.

What is he dreaming about?

The hands hidden under the table clenched into fists, Ji Siyun lowered his head quietly, the corners of his mouth raised, and a malicious sneer arose in his heart - she was his, whether she admitted it or not.

Here, she would be his sooner or later.

After dinner, the whole family gathered together to play cards and sing. Ji Siyun was not familiar with the Song family. After Song Youning was pulled to the table to play cards, he didn't know where he went.

Song Youning didn't play for long. She was so dominant at the card table that she was disqualified and kicked out of the game in less than half an hour.

After leaving the card game, Song Youning felt that the house was a little noisy, so he simply went out for a walk. The servants prepared dinner and then went on vacation. The garden was particularly quiet.

On a cold winter night, the moonlight was chilly. Song Youning hung his head, thinking about his problems, and wandered aimlessly.

Although she still felt uncomfortable with their closeness, Song Youning knew that she no longer felt disgusted.

Thinking of this, Song Youning frowned and reminded herself - this is the world in the book, and she is a passer-by who is destined to leave, and she must not indulge in it.

Whether it's them or him, she must have the awareness of being a bystander, stay sober, and be ready to withdraw at any time.

In the garden, only Song Youning's lonely footsteps could be heard. When she reached the corner, a pair of hands reached out from the darkness, grabbed her shoulders and pulled her into the darkness.

The light was too dim and she couldn't see the person clearly, but the moment she was grabbed by those big hands, Song Youning guessed who it was. She raised her head and was about to ask Ji Siyun what he wanted to do, but the kiss fell like a torrential rain, with an almost uncontrollable madness.

While Song Youning was stunned, Ji Siyun's palm that was holding her waist slowly moved up and firmly supported the back of her neck, leaving her no chance to escape.

His kiss was reckless and inexperienced, and it was also filled with a strong possessiveness towards her.

Ji Siyun didn't let her go until the sensor light turned on and off.

The cherry pink lips were stained with water, sparkling and even more attractive under the dim light. Ji Siyun was breathing slightly, and his dark eyes were filled with desire for her.

He gently wiped the saliva from her lips with his index finger, speaking in a low voice.

"Miss, why don't you tell them the true relationship between you and me."

Song Youning's lips were numb from being bitten by him. She slapped the hand that was caressing her lips away and said unhappily, "What's our relationship?"

Ji Siyun held her face in his hands. Her beautiful face was filled with shyness and innocence. His voice was very soft: "The young lady kissed me and slept with me."

"But nothing happened between us." Song Youning was not happy to be offended. She felt even more suffocated when he hugged her tightly. With a cold face, she tried to push him away.

Ji Siyun noticed her struggle and hugged her tighter with his arms. He bent down and pressed his lips against her neck. His low and hoarse voice made her skin numb slightly.

"So this is what the young lady is angry about?"

The handsome young man has pale skin but exceptionally red lips. There is a sticky black in the bottom of his eyes and the corners of his lips are raised, making him look very enchanting.

"Can you wait a little longer?" Ji Siyun let go of Song Youning who was struggling fiercely, gently held her wrist and kissed her fingertips.

"It will be fine soon." He held her hand and patted his face. "If you are still angry, you can beat me to vent your anger."

Song Youning saw that he said it was to make her feel better, and her expression was clearly very happy. She exposed him without any hesitation: "Are you doing this to make me feel better, or to give you a reward?"

He held her slender white hand and stroked it against his cheek, his low, muffled laughter transmitting a shocking sensation to her hand.

"Everything the young lady gave me was a reward."

The young man looked at her devoutly and said something that Song Youning could not believe at all.

She suddenly smiled, and there was inquiry in her dark eyes.

"Really?" Song Youning stroked his face. "Even if I treat you like I did before, it's a reward?"

The skin under his hand was slightly tense. Ji Siyun's eyes were dark and gloomy, with some emotions that Song Youning could not understand. He smiled lightly and nodded.

"As long as she's a young lady, I'm willing."

"Okay." She turned around and pulled Ji Siyun back, "Then let me see your sincerity."

The bedroom door was opened and then closed again. Song Youning angrily pulled Ji Siyun and pushed him onto the bed, saying viciously, "It's not too late for you to regret it now."

The young man looked up at her, his long black eyelashes trembling. He bit his lip lightly, seeming a little uneasy, but raised his face and said very obediently, "As long as the young lady is not angry with me, you can do anything to me."

Song Youning sneered, his heart inexplicably raging. He sat aside with his hands in his pockets and said, "Go find my whip."

Seeing Ji Siyun go to the cloakroom to take out the things without hesitation, Song Youning's first reaction was - this thing is still there after such a long time!

Ji Siyun wiped the dusty whip clean and handed it to Song Youning. He lowered his eyebrows and said to her, "Miss, you haven't used it for a long time. Be careful not to hurt yourself."

He subconsciously wanted to unbutton his clothes, but suddenly remembered something, raised his hand and put it down again, and said to her softly: "Miss, this time, please allow me to wear clothes and be punished, okay?"

Song Youning had a blank expression on his face, neither refusing nor agreeing.

Ji Siyun took it as her agreement, stepped back a few steps, knelt down, lowered his eyes, and said, "Miss, I'm ready."

The person in front of me remained silent.

Seeing that the calm person was already boiling inside, Song Youning held the heavy whip in his hand, feeling shocked, angry and amused.

Had she not been good enough to him in the past two years? That allowed him to so easily accept the abuse he was about to suffer?

Or maybe in his heart, he never took her kindness towards him seriously at all, and from the beginning to the end, she was the vicious "Song Youning" in his mind.

As expected of a hero capable of achieving great things, he pretends to be a simple and harmless puppy in front of her every day to lower her guard, but his heart remains cold and hard, with walls erected.

Even she was almost deceived by him, and she felt sympathy for him and even felt sorry for what she might do to him in the future.

What did she have to apologize for? She was the most innocent one, dragged here for no apparent reason, her life threatened by an inexplicable mission.

Her brilliant life is about to begin!

Ji Siyun didn't know that Song Youning had thought so much. He lowered his head, seemingly waiting calmly to be punished, but a barely perceptible smile of control appeared at the corner of his lips.

He knew that she was not herself.

"Snap", after a long silence, the whip was thrown to the ground.

The smile on Ji Siyun's lips grew wider - as expected, she was still so kind.

It made him even more reluctant to let go.

"Go away." Her voice was a little tired.

Ji Siyun subconsciously wanted to look up and act pitiful, but when he looked up, he saw Song Youning's already cold gaze.

She hadn't looked at him like this in a long time.

"Go away." Song Youning repeated.

He suddenly panicked and didn't care about pretending to be pitiful anymore. He didn't even have time to get up and walk over. Ji Siyun knelt down beside her legs and called her carefully, "Miss?"

"Did I offend you in some way?"

Song Youning lowered his eyes and looked at him. The young man kneeling at his feet had a handsome face and looked very gentle - that's all.

After acting for so long, Song Youning didn't want to act with him again tonight. He said in a light tone: "No, I just suddenly felt it was boring."

Boring?

The young man's face froze, his dark eyes staring blankly at her, his lips twitching slightly: "What...boring?"

Do you think he is boring, or is this place boring?

She still had that indifferent expression, with no visible emotion, and just stared at him quietly.

Ji Siyun knew that she was angry.

He held her fingertips and spoke in a humble tone.

"Miss, did I make you angry?"

"Don't ignore me, don't chase me away."

Song Youning's cold eyes made him feel uneasy. Ji Siyun put his face in her palm, raised his head, and his eyes were filled with tears.

"You said you wouldn't abandon me."

Pretending again! Trying to deceive her with this appearance again!

Song Youning knew that conscience and compassion were not what she should have!

Anger suddenly rose in her calm eyes. She was about to tell him to get out when her cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting her emotions.

An unfamiliar number flashed on the screen. After Song Youning answered the call, the anger that had just ignited was suddenly extinguished as if by a basin of water, and his expression gradually became solemn.

Song Youning slowly put down the hand holding the phone and looked at Ji Siyun. The swallowing movement in her throat became difficult. She opened her mouth and heard her voice suddenly become hoarse.

"The hospital said... Grandma Ji suffered a cardiac arrest and passed away."
