Bai Yunqi sighed wearily, "Yes, would I lie to you about something like this!"

"Then let's ask our third brother. But, eldest brother," Bai Yunxing asked, looking at his eldest brother, "if he wants to be alone, can we go to him?"

...

Bai Yun'an is in a very bad mood right now.

It was a kind of irritability that he rarely experienced before, and it was also the kind of irritability he hated the most.

He knew that Juanjuan was only five years old, and even if she was very smart, she couldn't possibly develop mind-reading abilities on her own. This was something he absolutely couldn't vent his emotions on Juanjuan.

He hates having his inner feelings exposed to others, which is why he chooses to come out alone.

A person sat on the edge of a cliff, his eyebrows drooping and his gaze somewhat listless as he stared at a small blade of grass swaying in the wind at his feet, seemingly unable to muster any interest.

He truly hadn't expected there to be so many surprises.

Mind reading?

Does mind reading really exist?

Perhaps deep down, Bai Yun'an didn't want this answer, and he struggled to deny it himself.

But judging from the series of messages he just tricked out, his sister can indeed hear his thoughts.

I don't know if I can hear others, but I'm sure I can hear him.

When did you first start hearing about it?

Bai Yun'an's mind was filled with a constant stream of questions, which he repeatedly questioned and speculated about, a habit that had become ingrained in him.

In the apocalypse, it was this almost instinctive speculation and questioning that allowed him to dodge many "hidden attacks."

In the past, if there had been even the slightest possibility that someone could read his mind, he would have definitely taken action.

And now...

He ran away, and this feeling made him very uncomfortable.

Bai Yun'an was very clear-headed; he knew why he was feeling these emotions, but he just couldn't control them.

She can hear your thoughts when your affection level reaches 90.

The system's cold, impersonal voice suddenly echoed in my mind.

Bai Yun'an sneered: "How can I still trust you?"

As he said this, he felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, he only got his sister when his affection level was 90. By then, his sister's maturity had grown a lot, so he shouldn't have scared her too much.

When his favorability rating was 90%, did he think to himself about how everyone else in his family had been replaced?

Everyone in the family except her is from another time. Does Juanjuan know about this?

system:……

Believe it or not, at the beginning, Juanjuan did have a high level of affection for you, but it changed later...

"Alright, that's enough."

Bai Yun'an stood up and interrupted the system: "If you tell me, I might not be able to make it 100%."

System: [But if I don't tell you, your wild guesses will only hinder growth.]

Bai Yun'an took a deep breath: "No, it won't happen."

Looking at the clear, bright sky, he suddenly became somewhat interested in his elder brother's ruthless ways.

System: [I have removed the mind-reading bug.]

Bai Yun'an was taken aback, then his eyes narrowed slightly: "Come and tell me how you gave it to Juanjuan, and how you took it away!"

They give it to him whenever they want, and take it away whenever they want. What do they take his sister for?

Are we just tools who don't need to consider our feelings?

Bai Yun'an is like that; even when she's in the center of her own emotional turmoil, she can still pay attention to more details.

System: [This is a long story...]

"Then let's get to the point."

The system sighed: "When I gave it to her, I did so directly. She adapted quickly and remained calm. Now, regarding what I'm taking away, I will give her a reasonable explanation. Neither giving nor taking away will cause her any harm."

Bai Yun'an remained silent for a moment, but ultimately swallowed back the words "erasure memories" that were about to come out of his mouth.
