"Xiao Yu she..." Yan Yiqing stopped talking halfway and sighed deeply.

Yan Ke said: "In fact, I have already vaguely sensed that Xiaoyu is the original Yan Zhiyu... Sometimes I can vaguely guess something from her inner voice. When Xiaoyu said that on her birthday, it confirmed my intuition."

Ji Dongyu also sighed.

"Actually, I also feel that it's right. After all, we have raised Yan Zhiyu as our own daughter for more than 20 years, and since she jumped off the building, her changes are really amazing..."

"It is normal for someone to wake up alive and kicking after suffering such serious injuries."

Yan Yiran murmured, "I have thought about this possibility, but I always felt that it was too unscientific. I didn't expect that it would be true... In fact, the fact that we can hear Xiaoyu's inner voice is already unscientific."

There was silence for a long time.

Until Yan Fangwei spoke again——

"Dad, Mom, Brother Xiao, Brother Four, what do you think? To me, Xiaoyu is just Xiaoyu. The one I treat as my own sister is the Xiaoyu who affectionately calls me 'sister'—"

As she spoke, Yan Fangwei's eyes turned red.

"I didn't expect that Xiaoyu came from such a terrible world. How much suffering must Xiaoyu have endured in such an environment? Whenever I think of this, I feel heartbroken."

"This silly little fish actually talked about her former family... No matter what happens, I will always be her sister. And, in my heart, she has always been a thief."

Yan Ke, Ji Dongyu, Yan Yiqing and Yan Yiran did not speak.

Yan Fangwei lowered her eyes and bit her lips.

She knew their answer...

After all, they were the same as her. They had lived with Yan Zhiyu as a family for more than 20 years, so it was a normal reaction for them to accept Xiaoyu who came from another world.

It's okay.

Even if she is alone, she will try her best to do something for Xiaoyu...

At this moment, a sigh suddenly rang in her ears.

"Perhaps at the beginning, my feelings for Xiaoyu were because of Yan Zhiyu's identity. But later, I subtly realized that the person in front of me might have been the original Yan Zhiyu..."

"If Yan Zhiyu continues to stay in the Yan family, I think we will just get tired of each other and torture each other—"

Recalling those painful days, a hint of fatigue appeared on Yan Ke's face.

"Perhaps, dying on the day of jumping off the building was a punishment for Yan Zhiyu's many wrongdoings. Xiaoyu didn't take anything away, she just came to this world through this body."

"She's not wrong."

Ji Dongyu looked at the photo frame hanging in the living room.

It was a group photo taken by the seven of them on their birthday. Each of them had a bright and happy smile on their face. Yan Zhiyu, who was in the middle, was looking at them, with the corners of her lips raised warmly, and the dim candlelight reflected in her deer eyes.

"Xiaoyu's affection for us is just acting. She really treats us as family. I can feel that. Besides that, she has also helped us a lot..."

"If it was Xiaoyu, we would never know Huo Yanchen's true identity, and the Yan family might have gone bankrupt by now. What's more, she saved Weiwei and Yiran's lives."

"Our attitude towards this matter is very clear. With our protection, Xiaoyu would have done this. But she still did it..."

"She wants us to sacrifice ourselves for her and be criticized by the public, so that she can protect us in return."

As he spoke, Ji Dongyu's eyes turned red.

He sniffed hard, turned his back and raised his head.

Yan Ke, who was standing next to him, patted Ji Dongyu's shoulder to comfort him, but her eyes were even redder than his.

Yan Fangwei could no longer hold back her tears.

Yan Yiqing remained silent, while Yan Yiran pursed his lips tightly.

As they were immersed in their emotions, a loud roar suddenly sounded behind them, breaking the silence at the moment, followed by the sound of a car door opening and an excited voice breaking -

"Damn, did you all see it? Xiaoyu is actually Yan Zhiyu, from another world! Moreover, it is a post-apocalyptic world with a zombie virus outbreak! Isn't this too magical? It's like a novel! Do you think Xiaoyu is kidding us?"

Yan Yihuan was still wearing the clothes from the training base and half of them were soaked with sweat.

Seeing the expressions of the Yan family members looking at him, he hesitated for two seconds: "You all believe it? So...what Xiaoyu said is true? Is she really...the Yan Zhiyu we know?"

"Yes, we guessed it."

"......ah?"

Yan Yihuan scratched his head, and the expression on his face became even more confused.

Yan Yiran raised his eyes to look at Yan Yihuan and remained silent, not mocking or attacking someone who was half a beat slower in reaction - 놊, 놊 just half a beat - at this time.

The air was silent for three or four seconds.

Yan Yihuan suddenly waved his hand.

"Who cares if Xiaoyu is Yan Zhiyu? My sister is Xiaoyu now! The Xiaoyu who treated my wounds carefully and called me the third brother! I say, why are you all standing there? Are we going to stop Xiaoyu from turning herself in? Hurry up!"

Yan family members: "......"

The reaction is slow, but the acceptance is quite fast.

Yan Fangwei pointed to the side.

That was the car Yan Zhiyu drove when she went out the day before, but at this moment it was empty.

"...It's still a step too late."

Yan Yihuan's expression suddenly turned dejected. He squatted on the ground with his head down and his hands in his hair.

Yan Yiqing, who had been silent since the beginning, finally spoke.

"Those things were not done by Xiaoyu, but she was willing to bear them, even at the risk of losing her freedom... We, the Yan family members who claim to have upright values, may not be able to do what she did—"

"In fact, looking around the world, there are very few people who can do this."

"Xiao Yu has her own principles in life. She will be twice as good to those who are good to her. She has fought hard for us, and also for her motherland and humanity. Similarly, she has her own principles in dealing with the world. She even works hard on herself to maintain fairness and justice in this world..."

"Xiao Yu..." He paused, "She is truly a person with a pure heart."

After hearing these words, Yan Yiran finally couldn't help but close his eyes.

He had wondered countless times how the vicious and mean Yan Zhiyu could have such a pure look? Now that he knew the truth, he felt that all his indifference towards Yan Zhiyu had turned into a sharp thorn stabbing at him at this moment...

Place your right hand on your heart.

There was a sharp pain there and blood was dripping.

Yan Fangwei was already crying.

"Are we going to watch Xiaoyu go to jail? She should have been responsible for all those crimes! She did it for us... to protect us..."

Yan Yihuan also wiped away tears.

"Oh my God, how could our little fish be so miserable? She dared not tell us the truth in person and turned herself in... She was so young and didn't have a good life in our house for long!"

Although the others did not speak, they also had tears in their eyes.

I don't know how much time has passed.

"Actually, there is another way—"

Hearing the voice, all the Yan family members raised their heads at once and looked towards Yan Yiqing, with hope appearing in their red eyes.

Yan Yiqing pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and took a deep breath: "I guarantee it will work, but you have to give it a try."
