"You don't need to persuade me. I'm very happy right now. This is what I want to do. Staying by Miss's side and protecting her is what I want to do. You are my sister, shouldn't you understand me?" Yue Lanxing looked at her calmly and stated the facts.
Yue Xuanxuan was at a loss for words. She had to admit that the young lady had a great influence on her brother. In the past twenty years, this was the first time her brother had deviated from his intended course.
Every decision before was made by their mother, and they only needed to carry them out, because their mother had truly worried herself sick over them. It was only in these last few years that things had gotten a little better.
"So you're going to tell Mother this? Tell her the same thing?" Yue Xuanxuan asked the most important question: how would Yue Lanxing explain this to her mother?
Yue Lanxing finally showed a different expression, probably one of guilt. "I didn't plan to tell Mother, and you can't tell me either. I won't be in danger."
"Why can't I say it? Am I supposed to just watch my brother do something stupid?" Yue Xuanxuan said indignantly.
Yue Lanxing shook her head and said, "This is not a foolish thing to do, Xuanxuan. Taking medicine can only keep me alive, but I want to live on my own, not be a puppet that takes medicine on time."
"Didn't we already prepare for a life-or-death separation? When we were kids, they even designed beautiful coffins for me." Yue Lanxing chuckled as she recalled the drawings they made back then.
Following his words, Yue Xuanxuan recalled past events, "Yes, then my mother tore up my clothes and beat me up. Then, to coax me, you secretly took me to buy candy."
“Look, I was more open about death when I was a child. My illness is incurable and I can’t die easily. Wouldn’t it be better for me to find a happy way to live?” Yue Lanxing really wanted to tell Yue Xuanxuan her thoughts.
"Alright, if you really decide to do this, I can only promise not to tell Mother. If she tries to make you leave the Xu family later, I won't help you, and..."
Yue Xuanxuan took a deep breath and continued, "You like her, right? Since you can't be with her, you've decided to protect her forever? How come I never noticed how devoted my brother was before?"
"Discover? What are you going to discover? No matter who I fall for, it'll end up like this anyway!" Yue Lanxing said with a self-deprecating laugh.
Yue Xuanxuan, who originally intended to make a joke, also realized this. Yes, no matter who she likes, they can't be together. At least the young lady is rich, beautiful, and elegant. Even if her feelings are exposed later, she can still use the difference in their social status as an excuse.
Yue Xuanxuan, who was initially a little angry, suddenly became clear-headed. She had been thinking wrong from the beginning. "Okay, brother, I, as your sister, support you. Isn't this the ending? There's nothing to worry about."
Yue Lanxing was a little surprised to see her younger sister suddenly understand and bless her, but she was happy to receive her sister's understanding in an instant. At this moment, the dishes were served.
"Eat your food quickly, try to gain some weight before going to school for military training." Yue Lanxing put food on her plate, and Yue Xuanxuan didn't want to take it back, so she could only bury her head in her food.
When they returned, Xu Zhaoyue had already finished dinner and was sitting in the living room drinking coffee. Yue Lanxing consciously went up to her to explain what she had been doing.
After Yue Lanxing finished speaking, she noticed the coffee in front of the young lady. "Young lady, it's almost time for bed, why are you still drinking coffee?"
"Yes, just a cappuccino. I like the taste. It doesn't keep me up like coffee does. Actually, I'm already quite used to caffeine."
"When I was abroad, I often stayed up all night and relied on coffee to keep me going." Since returning, Xu Zhaoyue has stopped drinking coffee as much, preferring the tea at home.
Yue Lanxing thought that it was no wonder that the young lady was so capable, working so hard despite her status. She was able to lead a research team to conduct experiments as soon as she returned. "The young lady must have learned a lot abroad."
"Yes, there are a lot. By the way, did you make any progress with the few people I asked you to train for the newspaper?" Xu Zhaoyue suddenly remembered this and started chatting. "Sit down, it's tiring for me to look up."
"Alright, I've already had someone take care of it. Where would you like to use these people, Miss? I'll urge them again." Yue Lanxing sat down as instructed.
Seeing that he could say that, Xu Zhaoyue guessed that he must be making serious preparations. "There's no need now. We should wait until the anniversary celebration. I've worked so hard on these experiments, so there should be some publicity."
"I'll check on how this matter is going in a couple of days. There's also something else; we'll be bringing in new staff in a couple of days. Do you have any instructions for them, Miss?"
Xu Zhaoyue finished her coffee, thought about her sleep, and put the cup down. She didn't care about what Yue Lanxing had said. "It's okay. We should choose obedient and clever people, promote the older ones, and let the new ones fill the vacancies."
"If the people below can manage during this period, we can take it slow. Okay, I'm going to rest now. I wish us all a good night's sleep." Xu Zhaoyue stood up and walked out.
Yue Lanxing felt a warmth in his heart and nodded. Seeing that the young lady was about to leave, he quickly stood up and called out, "Wait, young lady!" Xu Zhaoyue turned around to see if he had anything else to say, "What would you like for breakfast tomorrow morning? I've been working with Aunt Wu lately."
"Huh? You're with Aunt Wu? Are you going to learn how to cook?" Xu Zhaoyue looked at him and nodded seriously. He really was learning how to cook with Aunt Wu. "You can just have xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), and you can decide on the rest."
When Xu Zhaoyue returned to her room, she told Xiaonan about it. Xiaonan pouted and said, "He really knows how to please Miss. I want to see how he does tomorrow. Wu Ma can be very strict. All I've learned so far is how to make pastries."
