As the sun began to rise, the sky gradually took on a gentle orange-yellow hue.
The black Maybach sports car gleamed metallically in the setting sun, its engine emitting a deep, powerful roar as it sped along the winding road.
Chu Liyue sat in the back seat with Xiao Wujie in her arms. The stunning sunset outside the window kept changing, just like the ever-changing, subtle and complex feelings in her heart.
Ye Jinyu once said that her heart was like a stagnant pool, and no matter how stormy the outside world was, it was difficult to stir even the slightest ripple on the surface of her heart.
However, at this moment, my mind, which is usually calm in the face of anything, is now in disarray, like clouds scattered by a strong wind.
She doesn't even know how she walked out of the mall; her mind is still a complete mess.
Throughout her life, she was decisive and ruthless, looking down upon the world with disdain. Nothing could stop her, and she disdained to linger or run away from anything.
That dream, which still sends chills down her spine whenever she thinks about it, made her realize the complexity and depth of her feelings for Xiao Wujie.
The dual redemption of his life and soul led her to love, protect, and pamper him as his older sister for over a decade.
When she woke up, she realized that she had developed strange feelings for him. Her first reaction was shock and disbelief.
She remembered what Leng Ruxue had told her: she had been alone in her empty room for too long and was almost like a nun; she should find a man to comfort her.
She dismissed it with disdain. She was born with unparalleled destiny and near-demonic talent, standing atop a high mountain, looking down upon all living beings as mere dust.
The whole world is like a speck of dust in her heart; how could she be a flirtatious butterfly who is obsessed with men?
She remembered Leng Ruxue's sighing expression as she said that she was born like a lonely moon in the heavens, and her life was as desolate as snow in the human world.
The moment she realized her heart was in turmoil, she even thought that she must have been horny from being alone for too long.
But the nightmares that haunted her like a curse, and the lingering feeling in her heart, forced her to admit that, in the vast sea of people, that feeling was born only for one person.
She was a decisive and ruthless person, and now that she had realized her own feelings, she naturally wouldn't choose to run away.
She decided to give herself a chance; she wanted to bring Xiao Wujie back to her side ahead of schedule.
She wasn't blinded by lust or impulsively in love; she wouldn't fall in love and become hopelessly infatuated just because of a fleeting flutter in her heart.
She chose to calm down, experience life's little moments, and let them settle in the gentle flow of time.
If that budding flame in her heart blossoms into a beautiful flower, as long as Xiao Wujie doesn't resist, she is willing to let the fire in her heart melt the surface glacier, devoting all her tenderness to him.
If Xiao Wujie is unable to help that budding flower grow strong, or if the flower is willing but the stream is indifferent, she will continue to protect him as his older sister for the rest of his life.
This can be considered a test she selfishly set for herself and for Xiao Wujie.
Because no matter the outcome, she can play her role well.
Five years had passed, and she thought the little guy must have become even more handsome, after all, he was already so good-looking.
Sure enough, the little guy's looks never disappoint. The first time she saw him, she was still stunned by his appearance.
She's a perfectionist and naturally a sucker for good looks; this little guy is definitely the most handsome man she's ever seen, bar none.
Time is a merciless knife; it can erase many things.
She even thought that after five years apart, they would have grown quite distant!
But when the little guy, with his stunningly handsome face, walked up to her and hugged her, she couldn't feel the slightest bit of resistance.
The little guy fell ill as soon as he arrived, and she thought she should take care of him with even more care and patience than before. After all, the capital was still fraught with danger, and it was for her own sake that she had dragged the little guy into this murky water.
The little guy was unexpectedly clingy, but she didn't mind. After all, who could resist a beautiful, delicate, and obedient baby?
When he, as cunning as a fox, showed off his tea ceremony skills and drank Chu Yichen's hostile wine, she realized that the little guy's feelings for her might not be so innocent.
However, as I said before, she's not love-struck and won't be completely swayed by a little bit of affection. Many things can't be rushed.
But seeing the little guy's alluring drunken appearance, she was still somewhat blinded by lust, and that night she gave the little guy a bath.
It's not entirely her fault; she is indeed a serious sucker for good looks, and the little guy was just too adorable and alluring, so she couldn't resist.
Besides, she's bathed the little guy when he was a child; what part of him hasn't she seen?
The little guy is not only incredibly good-looking, but his physique also deserves a five-star rating. Although he's slender, he's got great physique, with a perfect six-pack.
Because of his prolonged illness, his skin was cold and pale, and even when she soaked him in the bathtub, it didn't get very warm, which made her feel a little pained.
She wasn't feeling well and had been drinking, so the little guy didn't seem to be sleeping well. She held him in her arms and coaxed him until midnight before he finally fell asleep peacefully.
But the most heartbreaking thing still happened: the little guy had a relapse of his illness while fighting Chu Feihong. When Lu Zhufeng found her carrying him, who was struggling to breathe, she felt her heart tremble for the first time in so many years.
Her first thought was to go to the hospital immediately, but the little guy stopped her with difficulty. He said he couldn't go to the hospital, and he couldn't leave now, otherwise everything he had done would be exposed.
The little one was incredibly prescient; she had just finished staging the scene when Chu Yichen arrived.
The little one didn't even have the strength to sit up; his body was trembling slightly as he leaned against her.
She could hardly imagine how much effort he had put in to pretend nothing was wrong and deal with Chu Yichen.
