Chapter 98, Qiyuan's Diary
——I hope she can do as she wishes, travel through the beautiful country with a camera on her back, see thousands of mountains and rivers, and live freely and happily every day.
XX/XX/20XX, sunny, 8:00 pm.
Today my sister was scolded by my father again. She had obviously done a very good job, at least a hundred times better than me, but instead of praising her, my father scolded her.
My mother said that my sister and I are twins. My sister was born a few minutes earlier than me and didn’t cry or make a fuss, but I cried loudly as soon as I was born.
At that time, my father said that my sister would definitely be the most ideal heir when she grew up.
It was also at that time that our parents, who gave birth to us and raised us, made decisions about our future without our permission.
Ever since I can remember, my father arranged private tutors for my sister and me, teaching us music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs from six in the morning to six in the evening. Thinking back on it now, it's still a nightmare for me.
However, unlike my older sister, who was treated harshly, I could arrange my class time freely, and the teacher would not punish me if I was absent-minded during class. However, if my older sister was distracted for even a moment, she would be severely scolded by the teacher.
I felt sorry for my sister and had several arguments with the teacher, but this led to my father physically punishing my sister, which made me feel uneasy and I dared not do it again.
My mother told me that my sister is different from me. When she grows up, she will have to support the entire Qi family and be my backer, so she must be excellent and strong...
At that time, I didn’t quite understand what my mother meant, but I roughly knew that in the days to come, my sister would be the one who protected me and the Qi family.
Now, I finally understand what my mother meant. They are simply forcibly transferring their own lives to their children, but they still say it is for protection.
How hypocritical.
But it cannot be denied that our family needs such hypocrisy. In order to maintain the current family and the current life, they can only sacrifice my sister's freedom.
…
XX/XX/20XX, sunny, 6:00 pm.
My sister's fiancé came over. It was said that they were engaged since childhood, a marriage arranged by finger-pointing and a family alliance.
When my father told my sister the news, she didn't object, and there was no emotion on her face.
After so many years, my sister seems to no longer oppose any decision made by my father.
But I know she feels very uncomfortable.
She has sacrificed too much for her current family.
Hobbies, friends, likes and dislikes... Now, she is asked to sacrifice her marriage.
I'm very confused. Didn't we make my sister stronger to protect the Qi family and everyone? But now she can't even protect herself, so how can she protect her family?
Because my sister doesn't like it, I don't like that guy either.
Dad said he was the only child of the Chu family's direct lineage, the sole heir to the Chu Group... so what? What was the point of Dad describing him as so outstanding? He was still just like his sister, a puppet of the family, relying on marriage alliances to consolidate his position.
It's so annoying.
Baby face, smiling tiger.
The more I watch it, the more disgusted I become.
…
XX/XX/20XX, cloudy, 10:00 PM.
Today I went out on a date with Chu Yuan in place of my sister.
It was my first time dating a strange man, and he was my older sister, so I wasn't nervous at all.
Before I left, I was thinking that if he dared to be rude to me, I would beat him to a pulp and make him never dare to come to the Qi family again.
As a result, the guy behaved very gracefully throughout the whole process.
We rode a roller coaster together, ate ice cream, and rescued a stray dog together. We took it to a shelter and gave it a rustic name, Dahei.
Actually, when I think about it carefully, I don't have any expectations for my other half, and I don't reject arranged marriages. If I can really replace my sister and become the Chu family's arranged marriage partner, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
After returning home, I asked my sister if she was really sure that she would not accept Chu Yuan, and she still gave an affirmative answer.
The last time my sister came back from drinking with Chu Yuan, I thought she was not opposed to Chu Yuan.
I am very worried that my sister will force herself to reject Chu Yuan because she hates arranged marriages. If she really likes him, as long as it is that person, what does it matter whether it is an arranged marriage or free love?
My sister said she didn't like Chu Yuan and didn't accept the marriage. I asked her several times, but she always gave the same answer.
What about me? I like it a little bit, right?
…
After closing the diary, Qi Yuan looked up at Chu Yuan and blinked.
"I'm sure." She said with some sympathy, "My true love is only my sister. You are an accident."
That’s right, he felt the same way after reading the diary.
"You seem quite smug?" Chu Yuan bared his teeth. "You're so proud of yourself after realizing that I didn't really like me at first, you little bitch."
Yes, she would marry into the Chu family on behalf of Qi Yao. It was not because she fell in love with him at first sight as the girl said during the date. It was just that Qi Yao didn't want him, and she voluntarily made the sacrifice to protect her sister.
"Ah." Chu Yuan sympathized with himself, "For so many years, I actually thought you fell in love with me at first sight."
Qi Yuan: "...You're overthinking it." He added softly, "I just don't think I'd be attracted to a playboy like you."
Chu Yuan pinched her ear and said, "Qi Yuan, personal attacks are really too much."
Qi Yuan snorted and was about to continue reading the diary when Chu Yuan covered it with one hand.
"It's late. Go to bed. The diary won't disappear. It's not too late to read it tomorrow."
After reading the contents of the diary tonight, she was afraid she would not be able to sleep all night.
…
After returning to the base, Si Xu did not go home directly, but went to the laboratory building first.
Knowing that he was going to look for Chen Yao, Jiang Ran waited at the door and did not go in directly.
Just when she was bored, someone tugged at her sleeve. Jiang Ran looked down and saw a little girl with a bun hairstyle blinking at her with her big eyes.
"Ah." The girl's chubby face looked soft and cute. Jiang Ran leaned over and said, "Little friend, are you lost?"
The girl stared at her for a long time and shook her head.
Shaking your head? Does that mean you're not lost? Jiang Ran continued to ask patiently, "Where are your parents? I'll take you to find them."
The little girl thought about it and nodded.
Jiang Ran took her hand and was about to ask the staff on duty to say hello to Si Xu when the man came out of the hall.
"Si Xu, I..." send this little kid off.
"A117." Si Xu interrupted the girl and stopped her gaze on the little girl. "Why are you here?"
A117? What is this? A code name?
Jiang Ran looked at the little girl with him - was this child also a lab experiment? No, this code name seemed a little different from Si Xu's.
"..." The little girl held Jiang Ran's hand, stared at Si Xu warily, and didn't answer.
"Forget it." Si Xu asked casually, "Jiang Ran, if you leave her here, someone from the Shen family will come looking for her."
The Shen family? "Is she from the Shen family?"
"Yes, it's a weapon created by the Shen family to guard against me."
Weapons? This little girl? Jiang Ran looked at the little girl in surprise: "Is this child very powerful?"
"Amazing." Si Xu said, "She almost broke Gu Yunqing's leg once."
Jiang Ran: "..." Although I feel very sorry for Captain Gu, why do I feel like laughing?
