Chapter 11 Chapter 11 (Supplement ~ Fortunately, it was a safe night...
Mu Yang first met Li Yian when he was eight years old.
On a snowy night, his father came back from outside holding a girl covered in blood and told him that this sister's parents were killed by evil, leaving her alone in this world. She was very pitiful and lonely, so Mu Yang had to treat her as his own sister in the future.
Mu Yang had always been cherished and protected by the Mu family. No matter where he went or what he did, he was always accompanied by a group of servants, worried that he would get hurt, cold, or hungry. He was pampered and never encountered any setbacks, always living a carefree life. Until he was eight years old, he never knew that there were girls like Li Yian in the world, with both parents orphaned and no one to love them.
When he saw the girl covered in blood being carried into the Mu family, he shrank behind his mother in fear. The servants covered his eyes, teased him, and told him not to be afraid.
However, his father said that she was pitiful and lonely, and he felt very sad. Even though he was afraid, he still followed his father silently.
The girl was frozen stiff and shivering all over. Her father carried her into the west yard, shouting at the servants to boil hot water to wipe her body and to find a doctor to see her.
There was a stove burning in the house, making it warm. The girl was placed on a bed covered with a blanket. While the adults were busy boiling water, preparing a bathtub, and preparing food, he wiped her face with a handkerchief soaked in warm water.
The girl opened her eyes dazedly, and seeing him, she curled her lips slightly, "Where did this child come from?"
This was the first time the girl smiled at him, and the only time she smiled at him for the next ten years.
Mu Yang was stunned for a moment, and whispered to comfort her again and again, "Sister, don't be afraid, I will accompany you in the future and will not let you be lonely..."
The girl was seriously injured, with deep scratches on her back, arms and thighs. She was only awake for a short while before falling into a coma again.
She lay in bed for three days, and Mu Yang stayed by her bedside for three days. Her father told him that the girl was named Li Yian, because he found her under a plum tree, so he gave her the surname "Li". Yian is a homophone for "Yi'an", and he hoped that she would live a peaceful life.
Mu Yang always felt sorry for this strange sister. After she woke up, he hurried to the kitchen to get some hot porridge. He stood beside her bed, blew on the hot porridge with his little mouth to cool it down a little, and then fed her in small mouthfuls.
This sister was a person of few words. She was always silent and immersed in her own thoughts. Occasionally, she looked up at the room she was in and at Mu Yang who was feeding her porridge. She stretched out her hands again and looked at her thin hands that were bandaged. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and she turned her face away and stopped eating the porridge.
"Sister, are you still scared?" Mu Yang put the bowl of porridge on the table and sat next to her. As if afraid of scaring her, he lowered his voice to comfort her, "It's okay now. This will be your home from now on. My name is Mu Yang. I will share my best toys and favorite food with you..."
At that time, Mu Yang was sensitively aware that the girl in front of him was so fragile. He didn't even dare to speak loudly, for fear that his harsh tone would cause her tense heartstrings to collapse.
The girl lay on the bed, covering her eyes with her hands, tears falling down her cheeks as she sobbed silently.
This was the only time Mu Yang saw her cry in his life. No matter how big the setbacks she encountered in the future, even if her life was threatened or she was seriously injured, she never cried again.
Mu Yang always hoped that he could accompany his sister through the most difficult times, hoping that she would no longer be lonely. She was always depressed, never smiled, and had no interest in any food, toys, or people. He racked his brains to make her happy and want to get close to her, but she avoided him.
She said that he and she were sworn enemies and could never get along.
It was as if God was confirming her words. The more he wanted to get close to her, the more conflicts there would be between them. He began to get hurt frequently, and Li Yian began to be scolded.
In the end, Li Yian went to the Theological Society and entered the Martial Arts Academy, and they never met again.
He admitted that he always ran to her side on purpose, as if to attract her attention, although he always ended up making things worse. Even though there were so many conflicts between them, he just wanted to fulfill the promise he made when he was young.
He wished she wouldn't be so lonely anymore.
