Perhaps it was because the injury on her head was still recurring, or perhaps it was because her unwilling soul had given Su Yan a strong shock, but now she only felt a sharp pain in her head, like being pricked by needles.
It was a long time before the stinging sensation slowly subsided. Su Yan then half-collapsed on the sofa, looking at everything in front of him with his eyes slightly open.
To be honest, apart from the original owner's reluctance, Su Yan felt quite satisfied with everything else in this world.
This is a world of peace without war, abundance without hunger, and it is also the world she has always longed to see.
In his previous life, he fought on the battlefield and toiled for more than ten years. What was it all for? Was it for the throne that represented power and high status? No, in Su Yan's eyes, the throne was nothing.
Even in the beginning, she joined the army and went to the battlefield just for a bite to eat, and she never thought about the long-term future. Until later, she somehow followed the trend and became the new emperor, establishing the Great Sheng Dynasty. But for Su Yan, what she hoped most was always to live an ordinary life without famine and war, but with peace and prosperity.
But now, this wish has been realized in another form.
Not bad, very good, except that the two people standing in front of me are a bit annoying and affect my mood a bit.
However, compared to the "lovable" Lin Ling'er who said one thing in front of him and another behind his back, Su Yan felt that the one who was more annoying was his younger brother Su Ran who looked 70% similar to him. It would be fine if he didn't look like him, but he looked extremely like him, like a "stupid-headed" replica of himself.
When Su Yan thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, and couldn't help but mutter: "His face looks so similar to mine, why does he have such a stupid head..."
However, before Su Yan could finish, Su Ran, who was already losing her temper, exploded and shouted, "Su Yan! You did something wrong and you don't admit it. You even called me a blockhead!"
Oh, I didn't expect that Su Ran wasn't very smart, but his hearing was pretty good. He was being played around by Lin Ling'er without even noticing it. Instead, he got angry when she whispered something.
However, Su Yan didn't feel guilty about being caught. Instead, he curiously stretched out his entire body on the sofa, letting himself feel the wonders of the objects in this world. He nodded generously and praised, "Oh? You have good hearing, right? You can hear such a low sound, but it still can't change the fact that you have a stupid head."
"Su Yan!!"
"Shh, don't be so loud, my ears are fine, I'm not deaf, I can hear it."
This sofa behind her is so comfortable. It makes me feel so soft all over. I love it. And what's that red thing on the table, made of glass? It looks like fruit. She didn't see it much in her dynasty. Is it delicious? Her memory tells her it tastes good, sweet and sour. How about she try one? It seems like it needs to be peeled to taste good.
While thinking about this, Su Yan couldn't help but pick up the small fruit knife on the table out of curiosity. He picked up a red fruit called "apple" with one hand and wondered how to start.
Because she had been on so many battlefields, Su Yan was naturally an expert with a knife. However, she had only used large knives to kill enemies, and had rarely used such a small knife. It seemed that she could just peel the fruit directly, but she seemed to have peeled too hard and too badly. The flesh was peeled off in chunks, and soon, only the core was left.
However, the taste of this red fruit is very good, it is a new and novel taste she has never tasted before. It's just that she peeled the skin too harshly the first time and didn't eat much of the flesh. She should peel a few more. After trying it once, she probably knew how to peel the fruit. She couldn't use brute force, but had to be clever and just peel off the outer layer of skin.
Thinking of this, Su Yan reached out to take the second apple, holding the fruit knife in his hand, wondering how to peel it the second time.
During the entire process, Su Yan didn't look up. Her attention was all on the sofa under her and the apple on the table. No matter how angry or frustrated Su Ran standing in front of her got, Su Yan seemed to not hear anything.
When Su Ran said she had no more energy to scold him, and had nothing more to say, Su Yan lazily raised his head, met Su Ran's gaze, and said very naturally: "Are you done? Why don't you say anything more? Maybe you want to hear why you have such a stupid head?"
"Okay! I'd like to hear what you have to say!"
Maybe Su Ran had really run out of words to curse at, or maybe Su Yan's "arrogant" attitude at this time had annoyed Su Ran a little. At this moment, Su Ran actually picked up Su Yan's words, as if he wanted to see what Su Yan wanted to do.
Of course Su Yan didn't want to do anything. After all, she was not the original Su Yan. No matter what the other party said, it could not involve her emotions, not to mention that she had never paid much attention to the outside world's comments. If she really paid so much attention, she would probably have been drowned in the saliva of various literati before the fight even started in her previous life. How could she have fought for more than ten years later?
After so many years, her heart had been trained a long time ago. She said something like "Su Ran should listen to why she has such a stupid head", but it was just a casual remark of hers without any other meaning. However, since Su Ran said she wanted to hear it, Su Yan naturally took the initiative to speak directly.
So, in the next moment, Su Yan was thinking about how to peel the second apple while asking Su Ran a few questions: "I won't say much, Su Ran, you just need to answer a few questions for me. The first question is, is the sister Ling'er you keep talking about born from the same mother as you?"
"What kind of question is this? Sister Ling'er is Aunt Lin's child, not my mother's child. How could they come from the same womb? Don't you know that?" Su Ran couldn't help rolling her eyes, thinking that Su Yan was asking stupid questions.
In response, Su Yan simply nodded, and then immediately asked the second question: "Very good, then, please answer the second question now, are you, Su Ran, and I born from the same mother?"
The first question might not have made anyone notice anything, but when the second question was asked, Lin Linger, with tears still on her face, felt a pang in her heart, and immediately had a very bad premonition. She subconsciously looked towards Su Yan in front of her, but was unexpectedly met Su Yan's eyes with a bit of interest.
Suddenly, Lin Linger's heart tightened, and she felt like something was wrong. This was not like the irritable and stupid Su Yan from before. The look in his eyes made her feel as if she was completely seen through, bound, unable to move, and in extreme danger. But this was impossible. How could Su Yan have such a brain? This must be her illusion, but her intuition told her that she could no longer let Su Ran continue to follow Su Yan's words.
So, the next moment, Lin Linger pulled Su Ran's sleeve as if she was extremely worried, and said considerately and pitifully, "Ran Ran, okay, stop talking. Don't blame your sister Su Yan. She definitely didn't mean to call you stupid. Those words just now must have been said in anger. Don't let my relationship ruin your relationship. This is not what I want to see..."
However, before Lin Linger could finish her words, Su Yan's emotionless voice came straight out, interrupting Lin Linger, "Shut up, Lin Linger, did I tell you to speak? Don't forget, this is my family, the Su family, not the Lin family."
Su Yan's voice was not loud. In fact, when she said this, she was half paralyzed on the sofa as if she had no bones, and was lazily turning the apple in her hand. But the pressure and momentum she emitted at that moment made them unable to move. Lin Linger was so scared that her face changed slightly.
Su Ran wanted to open his mouth to refute something, but when he met Su Yan's indifferent, yet extremely cold gaze, he could not say anything. He subconsciously felt that if he spoke at this moment, some things would be irreparable. But what exactly he wanted to redeem, Su Ran could not say, so he could only stand there with a stinky face and an extremely unhappy face, until Su Yan asked him the same question again, then he could not help but frown and said:
"Su Yan! What on earth do you want to say? You and I were born from the same mother, so where else could we have come from? If not, I wouldn't have tolerated you for so long!"
"Oh, it's good to know. We've come this far, Su Ran, don't you understand? You said you're not a blockhead, so what else could it be?"
"No matter how many bad things I, Su Yan, have done, I have never brought misfortune upon you. Sometimes I can't help but speak up for you. Why is that? It's because you and I were born from the same mother. You are my brother, I am your sister, and we share the same interests. But what reason do you have to think that 'Sister Ling'er', who was born from the same mother as you, would care more about you than me, your biological sister? Tell me, what else can this be but a fool's wit?"
When Su Ran heard Su Yan say this lazily, he subconsciously wanted to refute, saying that it was wrong to refute what Su Yan said, but he opened and closed his mouth for a long time and couldn't say a word, because he found that what Su Yan said was right.
Su Yan and he are both members of the Su family, siblings, and they share common interests. If one side has a bad reputation, the other side will also be affected. Their interests are almost tied together. Moreover, now that he thinks about it carefully, although Su Yan has done a lot of bad things in the past, none of them involved him. In fact, many disasters were caused by him.
But he couldn't stand Su Yan's approach. Su Yan's approach would only make him more embarrassed, making him even more despised in the circle, making it difficult for him to hold his head up. This was far different from Sister Ling'er, who patiently comforted him after every incident and helped him out, allowing him to be accepted by everyone in the circle again. This was Sister Ling'er's credit. Only Sister Ling'er was thinking about him. How could Su Yan put herself in his shoes and consider him? Of course, things were not as Su Yan said!
Su Ran really wanted to refute like this! But every time he opened his mouth, more details could not help but emerge in his mind.
For example, every time someone in the circle made fun of him, Su Yan was the first to stand up. Sometimes she couldn't help but rush over and quarrel with the other person. For another example, when no one else could remember his birthday, only Su Ran remembered it, and she prepared a birthday present for him, although he didn't like the gift at all. For another example, every time after causing trouble, Su Yan would apologize to him very apologetically and say that she would not do it again, although not long after, Su Yan would cause more and bigger troubles.
In the past, he thought Su Yan was just acting and perfunctory, but now it seems that Su Yan really cares about him and does this? But Sister Ling'er is also very good to him...
For a moment, Su Ran couldn't help but feel confused. He couldn't tell which side was correct, and his thoughts were completely revealed on his face.
Su Yan was not at all surprised by this result. If Su Ran could really figure things out so easily, he wouldn't have been so stupid for so many years. It can only be said that he can still think now and is not completely hopeless. The main reason is that Su Yan really doesn't want someone to do something stupid with a face so similar to his.
After thinking about it, Su Yan waved to Su Ran and asked him to sit on the sofa next to him. As for the other Lin Ling'er, Su Yan was too lazy to even look at her and completely ignored her.
To be honest, Su Ran was still a little confused at the moment. He was a little confused about the situation, and even more confused about what Su Yan wanted to do. But he was afraid that Su Yan would say something to "shake him", but at the same time he wanted to know what Su Yan had to say to him.
After hesitating for a long time, Su Ran finally walked to the seat Su Yan pointed at and sat down, with a vigilant look on her face, to see what Su Yan was going to do next? Was he going to discredit Sister Ling'er again, or was he going to clear his name again?
However, Su Yan didn't say any of these words. He only said this to him, "Su Ran, call me 'Sister' for me to hear. I don't think I've heard you call me 'Sister' much since I came back."
"What are you talking about? When you came back two years ago, didn't I..." call you 'sister'?
Su Ran subconsciously wanted to retort, but when he finished speaking, his throat suddenly got stuck and he couldn't say anything anymore.
He recalled that it had been two years since Su Yan came back, and he seemed to have never called Su Yan "sister". It was not because Su Ran didn't want to call her that. On the contrary, on the day Su Yan just came back two years ago, the Su family prepared a small family gathering and invited many relatives and friends in the circle. While celebrating Su Yan's return from illness, they also planned to introduce Su Yan to everyone.
Su Ran came back late because of the schedule of his university courses, so the first time he saw Su Yan after not seeing him for many years was at that party.
In fact, at that time, Su Ran really wanted to meet Su Yan. In his distant memory, his sister Su Yan was a beautiful and gentle person. In addition, Sister Ling'er also said a lot of praise for Su Yan beside him, saying that Aunt Lin told her how good and beautiful Su Yan was. This made him look forward to Su Yan even more, and he imagined that he would meet a gentle, generous, polite and beautiful sister.
However, the fact was... he saw a Su Yan who was completely different from what he had imagined.
Su Yan's facial features are good-looking, after all, she has the genes of the Su family, but her brows are full of hostility. In addition, she has been living in the ancestral home before, and it seems that she has never participated in a gathering with so many people. Her words and deeds reveal all kinds of inferiority and pettiness. Not to mention that she is similar to what Su Ran imagined, it can even be said that there is a huge difference between them.
But Su Yan was his sister after all. Although he was a little reluctant, at that time, Su Ran would still call Su Yan sister. But before he could say it, at this moment, a maid accidentally knocked over the soup and poured it all over Su Yan. Immediately, Su Yan became angry. He grabbed the maid and scolded her in public, with a willful and stingy look on his face.
Beside him, his friends in the circle couldn't help but burst into laughter and teased him, "Xiao Ranzi, when we heard you say that before, we thought your sister was such a beautiful lady, so we all rushed over to join in the fun. Now it seems that she is just like that, not even as good as Lin Ling'er. You might as well let Lin Ling'er be your sister, haha..."
Su Ran's face turned dark on the spot. Not to mention calling Su Yan "sister", she didn't even want to look at Su Yan again. She just felt terrible. She felt uncomfortable when she looked at Su Yan. She always felt that the other party was her black history. She looked at her with displeasure for two years. Until now, after Su Yan said this, he suddenly realized that it seemed that he had never called Su Yan "sister" in the past two years. But how could he bring himself to call Su Yan "sister" if he was asked to do so?
Suddenly, Su Ran couldn't help but feel conflicted, even his brows furrowed, and he remained silent for a long time.
Seeing this, Su Yan raised his eyebrows and added fuel to the fire, provoking: "What? Just calling me 'sister'? Can't you do it?"
"Nonsense! No, there's nothing I can't scream out. It's just a 'that, that'! How could I not scream out!"
It must be said that Su Yan's expression of "as expected" immediately irritated Su Ran, causing the impulsive Su Ran, who was young to begin with, to reflexively retort angrily, "Isn't it just 'sister'? What's wrong with calling her that? Doesn't he often call Ling'er sister, too?"
However, although Su Ran threw out the harsh words, it was not so easy for her to call her "sister".
After all, he had never called Su Yan "sister", nor did he dare to say outside that Su Yan was his sister Su Ran, for he was afraid that others would look at him in disbelief.
There was no one else present, but for some reason, in front of Su Yan, Su Ran found it harder than at other times to call out "Sister". In just a moment, her handsome face turned red. After a long while, Su Ran turned away and uttered a mosquito-like voice, "Sister...Sister."
"What did you say? Speak louder. I didn't hear you." Su Yan raised his eyebrows and exposed Su Ran's embarrassment on the spot without giving her any chance. He said that he didn't see anything at all.
This 'clearly heard but pretending not to hear' attitude immediately angered Su Ran. He didn't care how embarrassed and angry he was at the moment. He gritted his teeth and roared out that name: "I said - Sister!! You heard it, right? Now you should be satisfied!"
"Okay, I heard you. I'm satisfied." Su Yan said this, and threw the second apple that had failed to be peeled and had most of the flesh gone into Su Ran's hand. He picked up the third apple that had finally been peeled well and started to eat it, with a look of satisfaction on his face. It was unclear whether he was satisfied because he heard the word "sister" or because he was satisfied because he finally ate good apple flesh.
Instead, he turned around and saw Su Yan holding an apple with a dazed and confused look on his face, like a stupid goose. Su Yan couldn't help but move his fingers. He tried to hold back, but in the end he couldn't help it and reached out to rub Su Ran's head. When he felt satisfied, he withdrew his hand and said pretentiously: "Be good, brother, this is my reward for you."
When Su Yan heard this, Su Ran, whose face was already a little red, couldn't help but blush. While thinking about what Su Yan wanted to do to him, he couldn't help the silly smile on his face. He quickly turned his face away, not wanting Su Yan to see it, and his hand couldn't help but touch the place where Su Yan was rubbing his head.
Then, with this touch… the silly smile on Su Ran’s face froze. It wasn’t because of anything else, but simply because he felt some sticky, sweet, wet liquid. This was…
So, Su Yan turned his head stiffly, and as expected, he saw a table full of miserable apple peels, and Su Yan who was contentedly chewing a relatively intact peeled apple. Then he lowered his head and saw the particularly ugly apple in his hand with most of the flesh peeled off. This was clearly, clearly...!!!
No way, Su Ran couldn't stand being around any other woman, especially one like Su Yan! If he took it seriously, he'd lose. Seriously, if he took it seriously, he'd lose!! He had to endure it, he had to endure it!! He... fuck him, why was he even enduring it!!
Damn it! I asked for the well-peeled apple, but he got this ugliest one! And Su Yan hadn't even washed his hands after peeling the apple, and he just rubbed his head! He just rubbed him! Now that sticky mess on his head, isn't it all apple juice?! Fuck!
