"Yes, thank you, Master."
Lin Yue took the water he offered and drank it all in one gulp, then snuggled closer to him.
Unlike others, she wasn't surprised or amazed by what she had gained; it was a natural and heartfelt acceptance.
Of course, it's also largely because she's still enjoying her leisure time...
She swore that she had never felt so satisfied since Xu Shi let her go... The feeling of him personally bullying her was completely different from the feeling of her relieving stress on her own.
She even couldn't help but recall the first time Xu Shi tied her up. How could she have felt pain back then? It was clearly such a comfortable thing...
"I still prefer you calling me that devilish bastard with a dark face."
Xu Shi was happy to see her like this; it was his duty to make his little sister, who had been suffering so much, feel happy and joyful... However, he couldn't help but tease her.
There's no way around it, you can never get tired of seeing this kind of contrast.
"I...you were a bad person to begin with, it's me who changed, not you."
Lin Yue was indeed amused and began to complain coquettishly.
Xu Shi patted her head in response, and during his moment of clarity, he took her left hand, asking, "Did you reattach your severed finger?"
He knew about it, but he hadn't paid much attention when he went to Sin City to arrest people last time, and was slightly surprised when he saw it.
"hold head high."
Lin Yue responded softly.
"What's going on?"
Xu Shi only knew that she was injured, but he didn't really know the specifics, since it wasn't written in the original story... so he couldn't help but ask.
"...I did it myself."
Lin Yue blinked, but still told him the whole story.
"Oh, I see."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shi couldn't help but sigh. In fact, the assassin girl's personality was quite straightforward, as evidenced by the fact that she could do such a thing... No wonder she had such a big change after being corrupted; she was more serious than anyone else about the things she set her mind to.
Looking back now, do you still think it was worth it?
He asked with ill intent.
"Hmm... I felt it was worth it back then, at least I didn't owe him anything anymore..."
Lin Yue was an honest child, and she didn't lie when he asked her that question. "But now... I feel it's not worth it if I'm only loyal to you."
"It's good that you think that way."
Xu Shi wasn't angry, and even added a word of advice, "Don't do such foolish things again, not even for my sake."
"Punishing yourself for other people's mistakes is something only a fool would do, you know?"
"Lin Yue understands."
The assassin girl humbly accepted the instruction and nodded gently, feeling a warm glow in her heart.
That's the truth. Apart from his mother, only Xu Shi had ever said that, and even when he was drowned, he never did.
"How is he now...?"
When the topic of Chenhe comes up, she can't help but ask a question.
"He's dead. I killed him with my own hands."
Xu Shi didn't hide anything from her and calmly replied, "If you want to see it, I'll take you there later."
"……No."
Lin Yue shook her head. It was clear that her obedience to Xu Shi had made her let go of many things. She was only asking this question because she wanted an answer, to put an end to the past.
Actually, all of this was destined a long time ago... Thinking about it, she felt quite emotional. It was already a long time since she and Shen He parted ways. And the truth was just as Xu Shi said: you care about him, but he may not, and he will treat you like a thief.
On the contrary, Xu Shi, although he had done bad things, never made excuses. Moreover, it cannot be denied that he used Lin Xing to help him take revenge on Zhang Shijun and climbed up the social ladder step by step. He said he relied on his sister, but in reality, he relied on him...
Anyway, she realized this after everything was laid out, and she couldn't lie to herself anymore.
What's wrong with him? Is he all bark and no bite? No, that doesn't seem right either; he wasn't exactly gentle when he bullied me...
From this perspective, submitting to him is not an accident, but an inevitability.
Thinking this way, she felt much better. The name Chen He no longer stirred any emotion in her heart. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before it would gradually fade away and disappear.
It has to be said that girls who have completed their sexual encounters seem to be like this. They don't need to say much; they can resolve the knots in their hearts by filling in the blanks with their own minds, especially after giving their bodies to him.
"Alright, it's getting late, our Moon Chief should head back now."
Xu Shi didn't know what she was thinking, but he knew that the two of them couldn't stay here forever. After their tender moment, they got down to business. "The situation in Sin City is still unstable, and we need you to stay and oversee things."
"What are your orders, Master?"
Lin Yue was quite sensible; upon hearing this, she immediately sought his opinion.
"I already told you not to call me that... never mind."
Xu Shi thought about it and didn't stop her. He told her the situation, "According to the results of the discussion among the four major conglomerates, Night City will carry out a large-scale transformation in Sin City in the future, and the gap between the two cities will gradually be broken down."
"Is this... real?"
Lin Yue was somewhat incredulous. She was born and raised in Sin City, and her greatest wish was to eradicate the shady dealings and dirty deeds of Sin City, and she did not want others to suffer the same hardships she had endured.
And that's exactly what she did. At least under her rule, the Sixth District is now a breath of fresh air in Sin City.
"This issue was first raised by 'Feather Pen,' so there's no need to worry that it's just a temporary fix."
Xu Shi added, "Even if that's the case, I'll keep an eye on them. Don't worry."
