"Double".
"There's only one possible outcome: my brother will be acutely aware of the pain of obeying unreasonable demands. He knows it's wrong, but he has no choice but to comply, enduring double the pain. So... he's really easy to bully."
Yu Shiyue's tone remained completely unchanged. In terms of her acting skills, Xia Che felt that she was more suited to be a museum guide. Her narration, while not necessarily very interesting, at least had a solid foundation.
Most importantly, she showed no personal emotion while narrating.
To Xia Che, an outsider, Yu Shiyue's narration sounded like something to be angry about. Children are not the property of their parents; they have their own thoughts. Parents cannot use the guise of family to boss their children around and forcibly instill their own ideas into their children's minds. Xia Che had thought that with the progress of the times, these things should have become common knowledge among parents.
It is not the parents who want to completely control all of their children's thoughts.
It's Yuri who can use mind control.
He can manipulate other people's minds to cultivate a large group of mindless monsters to do all sorts of heinous things, satisfying only his own evil desires.
Even in a game, this is an absolute trump card villain, someone who will fight with everything he has—guns if he has them, knives if he doesn't, and even if he has nothing, he'll use his teeth and fists to pounce on the opponent and blow them up.
But the same character is set in a different world, and the villain despised by everyone transforms into a parent respected by everyone.
Sometimes Xia Che couldn't help but sigh and say that there might not be right or wrong in this world, only positions.
All the conflicts people encounter are essentially just differences in perspective.
Is Brother Yue easy to bully?
They're easy to bully.
But he shouldn't be bullied.
At the very least, one shouldn't be bullied like this by one's parents, one's closest relatives.
That doesn't make sense.
It really doesn't make sense.
"...I think I understand now. Brother Yue's trip to Denmark is also at his family's behest?"
For no apparent reason, Xia Che felt a tightness in his chest.
He wasn't exactly a well-behaved child, and occasionally felt a pang of guilt for his childhood rebellion. But after hearing about Yue's experiences, Xia Che felt a surge of relief.
Rebellious children may be labeled as "bratty kids" and disliked by all sorts of people, but at least they don't live like zombies.
So-called well-behaved children are simply those whose souls are bound.
"That's another issue, I can't tell you now, you haven't come with me to bargain yet."
Unexpectedly, Yu Shiyue, who was Yue's sister, turned around and smiled, her relaxed expression showing no trace of heaviness.
"Hey, do you have to be so calculating? That's your brother! He's going through all this, and you don't even react?"
Xia Che touched his nose, and several tic-tac-toe marks appeared faintly on his forehead.
Why does Yu Shiyue seem so indifferent to her brother...?
She looks so much like Xia Yuxin!
Xia Che felt a deep sense of empathy, knowing that everyone was acting like an older brother.
"What's the use of having a reaction? Take you for example, you're having a reaction now, so fine, you come up with a way to have the best of both worlds."
Yu Shiyue tilted her head slightly and rolled her eyes at Xia Che.
"...I can't help it either."
Xia Che felt an even greater tightness in his chest.
What can he do?
That's Yue's family matter after all. He can argue about it with Yuri in the game, but in reality...
Could I possibly tell my parents?
"There are many things about my brother. Actually, he wasn't always a good boy. At least in recent years, he's come to his senses and started to become rebellious... But I'll keep these things a secret for now. You have to make me have fun before I can tell you."
Yu Shiyue covered her mouth and chuckled, but no matter how Xia Che looked at that mischievous smile, it seemed to him like a white-haired little devil who didn't want to reveal her real name. "Want to know the truth? Then you'll have to keep me company."
"I see!"
Xia Che hardened, and his fist hardened!
This kind of skillful use of blackmail, the way he could easily control Xia Che with just a few words—this feeling of déjà vu is all too familiar.
Actually, you're not Yu Shiyue, nor are you Yuexiong's sister, but rather Chu Yuying in disguise, right?!
"Good to know, then play with me properly."
Yu Shiyue's smile deepened. How come she never noticed before that teasing Xia Che was so much fun?
Of course, she didn't react.
Because what Yu Shiyue said were all her own true experiences.
It's just a familiar, ordinary narrative.
What kind of reaction do you expect from her?
The scabs had long since scabbed over, and the scars had all fallen off, leaving only faint white marks on the skin, which could no longer harm her.
Therefore, Yu Shiyue could say it so casually. Under these circumstances, if she were to react in any way...
That would be asking too much of anyone.
...
Xia Che wondered if it was too late for him to run away now.
He initially thought Yu Shiyue's lack of social skills was only evident in her inability to refuse others in daily life, but he never expected...
He's an idiot when it comes to life, an idiot in every aspect.
It is comprehensive and never just about one aspect.
"Who only offers a 50 yuan discount?! This dress costs almost a thousand!"
Xia Che looked at Yu Shiyue, who was walking beside him with a satisfied expression, carrying a delicate little bag in both hands, and felt even more suffocated in his chest.
He initially believed it and thought Yu Shiyue would bargain.
I never expected this woman...
The way they negotiated the price was quite unique and unconventional.
...
"How much is this dress? Can I try it on?"
"Sure, miss, try it on first, and we can talk about the price if it suits you."
"good……"
When Yu Shiyue came out after trying on her outfit, Xia Che admitted that he was indeed amazed by her. She had been wearing a mint green dress that exuded youthful energy, but now she was trying on a beige long dress that was more formal. They were completely different styles, but Yu Shiyue could pull them off both.
Whatever style she wears, she embodies that style.
This woman is so beautiful that she can disregard any pretense of a persona and do whatever she wants...
There's just one flaw. Xia Che doesn't understand why Yu Shiyue, like her brother Yue, has dark circles under her eyes.
Although Yu Shiyue's makeup was very good, covering most of the marks, Xia Che's observation skills were very sharp, and he still noticed some traces.
He just didn't ask; perhaps staying up late is a tradition in the Yu family.
It's something etched into our genes, passed down from generation to generation.
Xia Che's reaction pleased Yu Shiyue, and she had already decided to buy the dress. She then went back to the dressing room, changed back into her original dress, and came out again.
Excitement beamed on her delicate face as she strode up to the sales clerk and cut straight to the point:
"I'm very satisfied. What's the price?"
