The Ye family.
The floor was a bit cold, so Ye Qi silently got up, took out her first-aid kit, and applied some medicine to herself.
She sat in the chair, leaning weakly against the backrest. Suddenly, she kicked off the chair, which slid to the French windows. She looked at the garden view, lost in thought.
It seems that, encouraged by all sides, everyone has begun to take action.
But Ye Qi was the only one who kept looking at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance, thinking to herself that a 20% chance of winning was really too low.
004, is it really that powerful?
Ye Qi lifted her legs and propped them on the chair, helplessly hugging her knees, lost in thought about that almost impossible thing—
For example, 004 suddenly realizes he should leave.
She couldn't help but laugh out loud; the chances of that being even lower than getting her idol to come and fight for her were slimmer.
She looked out the window at the garden below, where clusters of flowers were blooming freely.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and it seemed so strong that it caused many of the flowers to sway in the wind, almost breaking their heads.
The flower at the very front shook even more violently, and after a long, long time, the entire flower head was broken off, gently lifted by the wind, and carried away elsewhere.
But the wind didn't blow it very far; it landed just a few steps away, alone and forlorn, among the flowers.
The wind stopped.
Seeing this scene, Ye Qi's understanding was completely refreshed for the first time.
A gust of wind blew the entire flower away, leaving only the stem and the other flowers that were struggling to survive.
Only one flower, its head broken by the wind, fell into the flowerbed and became nourishment for the future.
The fingers that were hugging their knees curled up even tighter without them realizing it.
She stared blankly at the flowerbed, no longer able to see the broken blossoms, her mind filled with the echoes of Ye Zhixi and Jiu Shijiu's answers.
Ye Zhixi wants to sacrifice herself for everyone's happiness.
Ye Qi's gaze remained fixed on the flowerbed, her mind racing with thoughts of what it would be like to sacrifice herself...
Wouldn't it be better to sacrifice yourself?
She is already happy enough.
At least I have good friends and family in this life, and I have met Huanhuan and my master.
She has no desires or wants anymore.
A single tear slid down her cheek. She belatedly wiped it away, feeling the lingering warmth on her fingertips.
Eh...
Why was she crying...?
She should have been willing...
But why did she cry?
She must have felt happy, willing, and content.
My sister finally made it home.
Although she was reluctant to part with Huanhuan, her master, her family, her classmates, and You Ning and Yi Xing...
However, she understood that the Ye family, or any other prominent families, were not part of the story.
She already knew the fates of everyone else, she already knew that her family and classmates were all manipulated by the plot—
There is no tomorrow.
She didn't want everyone to be bound by the plot and lose themselves, because she knew how good they were.
She didn't want such a wonderful group of people to have to give way to the plot and lose their future.
Ye Qi suddenly paused:
oh……
turn out to be……
It's because I can't bear to part with it.
But what's the use of being reluctant to part with it?
Someone has to bear all the misfortune, otherwise no one will be happy and will lose everything.
Isn't that right?
So why not her?
If she and 004 die together, everyone can escape the plot.
Family members won't die, and others can continue to live their lives. They won't become pawns to be pushed down by Bo Tingsheng, and my sister won't be forced to be tied to him.
She has already—
I'm happy enough.
Helplessly, she hugged her legs tightly, buried her head in them, and kept telling herself not to be afraid and to be brave.
But she still couldn't help being afraid.
She curled up, huddled in the chair, and trembled uncontrollably.
If possible—
She didn't want to die either.
But……
Someone always has to bear the burden. If she shirks this responsibility out of fear, then it will be her older sister who has to take it on.
She couldn't help but think:
Is my older sister also scared?
Upon realizing this, Ye Qi immediately stopped trembling.
So……
She should be the one standing up to protect everyone!
Ye Qi's gaze gradually hardened. She gripped the clothes in front of her heart tightly, her fingertips turning white from the effort, but she paid no heed. She had only one firm thought in her mind.
She should stand in front of everyone and fight for their right to freedom.
Courage triumphed over fear.
The wind reversed course, blowing in through the French windows from the direction of the garden, filling the room, lifting Ye Qi's hair, and revealing her clear yet timid eyes.
A voice seemed to come from the wind:
“I don’t recall ever teaching a lesson on the practice of sacrifice.”
Ye Qi suddenly stood up and turned around.
Before my eyes, the girl's fiery red hair was tied up high. She leaned against the door frame with a free and easy posture, her arms crossed, and her beige trench coat was gently billowing in the wind.
The girl laughed freely: "Long time no see, you silly student."
Clang—
Ye Qi accidentally pushed the chair next to her away.
Her eyes quickly reddened, like a helpless child who could only cheer himself up, finally finding the only adult he could rely on in a pile of ruins.
"Sister Xiao Ai..." Her voice trembled with sobs.
She walked quickly toward Mi Ai, as if she wanted to hug her.
Unfortunately, Mi Ai interrupted her: "I suggest you don't suddenly pounce on me, or I won't be able to catch you if you fall."
