Bai Yun'an took a soft tissue and gently wiped away her sister's tears.
He knew Juanjuan might cry, but he really didn't expect her to cry so hard.
He never imagined that one day he would feel sad because of someone else crying.
In the illusion, the system asked Juanjuan if she wanted to erase her memories.
He personally witnessed how Juanjuan rejected the system's offer.
She said: If Third Brother knows, then he should confess.
Now, she has come out and confessed.
Juanjuan recalled the figure in the illusion that couldn't yet take shape, and inexplicably felt like crying again.
She simply gave up and cried as she spoke to her third brother.
"Brother, I... I met the system. She said she was your mother before, and that I could hear your thoughts because of her."
Juanjuan's very first words shattered her third brother's once again, calming his resolve.
Bai Yun'an wanted to speak, but for a moment he didn't know what to say, and a look of confusion gradually appeared in his eyes.
say what?
He said, "How could the system be his mother?"
The system... could it be his mother?
Yet, it seems that all of this can be explained clearly, even perfectly logically.
"The fact that my parents, my eldest and second eldest brothers were able to come here, and that my mind-reading ability was also due to some problems, is what caused this."
"She also said that half of Third Brother's goodwill belongs to me, and the other half belongs to Third Brother's goodwill towards the family."
"My mind-reading ability is gone now, it's really gone."
Juanjuan looked up at her third brother without flinching or dodging, wanting him to know that she was telling the truth.
Bai Yun'an's lips curled into a stiff, somewhat awkward smile. His sister's words had truly caught him completely off guard.
She looked nervous and uneasy, like a younger sister awaiting her fate.
He raised his hand and gently hugged his sister: "Okay, Third Brother knows. I scared you just now. Third Brother was just... too shocked."
Juanjuan nodded, her voice muffled: "I know, if it were anyone else, Third Brother would have killed them long ago."
Bai Yun'an: ...??
A faint sense of powerlessness rose in my heart.
What exactly did this child hear in his heart? What did he say in his heart on a daily basis?
After confirming that she had told the truth and still hadn't heard her third brother's inner thoughts, Juanjuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that mind reading has truly disappeared.
With the heaviest burden lifted from her heart, Juanjuan felt incredibly comfortable, free from the need to hide anything for any purpose.
Back when she wasn't familiar with her family, she was the weakest among them, but she had the ability to read minds. It was like having a strong support system, allowing her to know her family's little secrets and preventing her from being completely clueless.
But once you get used to it, the more you have the ability to read minds, the more burdened you become.
The more you care, the more you fear and worry.
"I……"
Bai Yun'an tried to refute the claim that he would kill someone.
But after thinking about it, it is indeed true, and it's hard to refute.
It's really not something I'm used to suddenly revealing my "true nature" in front of my sister.
Having spent so much time with Third Brother, Juanjuan knows what's going on in his heart and can roughly guess what he wants to say.
A smile appeared on Juanjuan's face, her eyelashes, still glistening with tears, trembled slightly as she looked up at her third brother, her voice soft yet firm.
"Third Brother is very good. Although he talks about killing people, he has his own principles and won't kill people indiscriminately."
“Mind reading is really scary. If a stranger could do it, it would be really dangerous. Whatever Third Brother does is right.”
Bai Yun'an chuckled: "You've thought things through quite clearly."
Juanjuan reached out and gently tugged at her third brother's sleeve: "I also saw what my third brother looked like before. He's amazing. He grew so tall even in such a harsh environment! And he can help so many people."
Bai Yun'an never expected that the little guy would actually read about what he had experienced before.
"Aren't you afraid? Those zombies."
"Don't be afraid, Auntie was afraid of scaring me, so she made them all in black and white."
"Really? That's good."
Bai Yun'an had mixed feelings when Juanjuan mentioned his former mother.
Perhaps he was too young at the time, or perhaps it had been a long time, but his memory of his mother wasn't very clear; he only knew that she was a very good person.
But sometimes he wonders if people always cast a beautiful filter over those who live in their memories.
Judging from Juanjuan's description, his memory is not significantly flawed.
However, there is still one problem.
"About the other family members..."
The best thing about talking to smart kids is that even if you only mention it briefly and don't explain it completely, they already know what you mean.
“I know that my parents and brothers have been replaced, but my aunt didn’t let me see what my parents and older brothers had done before.”
“You didn’t kill my parents and brothers, so I just feel lucky.”
The child's words were a bit incoherent.
Bai Yun'an felt a little relieved; he understood.
