Chapter 73 Follow the Light, Don't Look Back (2)
Zhou Ruoruo was thrown to the ground, her hair disheveled and her clothes in disarray.
Her eyes filled with tears as she looked up at Pei Yu, her voice filled with a desperate, resigned sorrow, and cried out:
"Ah Yu!"
She struggled to get up, her posture disheveled yet stubborn.
"Look closely, it's me! I've been by your side all these years!"
Lin Chujiu has long forgotten you; now she only has eyes for Hanyu!
Only I will never leave you, Ayu!
She knew that Pei Yu already knew, but she still dared to gamble on a past relationship.
This "A-Yu" was uttered with such naturalness and familiarity, as if she had called it a thousand times before, carrying her self-righteous intimacy and possessiveness, trying to grasp at the last straw.
Pei Yu's body stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment. It wasn't a feeling of being moved, but rather a coldness of being defiled and enraged.
A sudden aura of hostility emanated from him.
He slowly turned around, and his eyes, which were always shrouded in gloom, were now frighteningly clear, devoid of any warmth, only filled with an almost cruel scrutiny.
"Ah Yu?"
He repeated it again, his tone gentle, yet it sent chills down Zhou Ruoruo's spine.
"Who gave you permission to call me that?"
He took a step forward, and although there was no real pressure, Zhou Ruoruo felt a suffocating fear.
"Do you think that by mistake allowing you to use your older sister as an excuse to get close to me, I've approved of you as a person? Or even allowed you to overstep your bounds to this extent?"
Pei Yu's voice was as cold as a blade chilled to the bone.
"I'm keeping you because I once mistook someone else for someone else."
And you, you've taken this tolerance as a license to push your luck, even to the point of deluding yourself into thinking you can replace me?"
He looked down at her as if she were a piece of trash.
"Zhou Ruoruo, you're just a counterfeit. Now that the real one is back, it's time for you to leave."
I protected you through the servant only because I was blind in the past.
Don't force me to take action.
A faint, yet chilling smile curved his lips.
"Don't call me 'A-Yu,' those two words just make me feel disgusted."
After saying that, he stopped looking at her, as if she were already dead.
With a flick of his wide sleeves, an irresistible force sent Zhou Ruoruo flying several meters away.
Pei Yu walked out of the house.
A heavy thud followed by a short scream came from inside the door, then deathly silence.
Pei Yu stood alone in the open outdoor space. The cold hostility he had shown when facing Zhou Ruoruo receded like the tide, replaced by a deeper sense of bewilderment and helplessness.
Sister...
The counterfeit goods were dealt with, and the errors were cleared up, but the road ahead did not become clearer as a result.
He looked at his pale, slender fingers, which were usually used to holding knives and needles, but now they were slightly curled up, and his fingertips were icy cold.
Now... how should he face the real "older sister" whom he missed for so many years and who may have long forgotten him?
The mere thought of the unfamiliar gaze she might cast at him brought with it a chilling fear that seemed to freeze his very soul.
He didn't want her cold treatment.
Even if she treats it as an insignificant little object, like a puppy, it's fine.
As long as I can stay by her side, that's enough.
But after missing each other for so long, how easy is it to start a conversation when we meet again?
Pei Yu lowered his head and sighed deeply.
When he looked up again, his eyes were once again filled with fighting spirit.
So what if we miss out? How will we know our sister has given up on him if we don't even try?
Maybe she can accept him again.
He would be content if given a chance to make amends and to stay by her side.

Fengdu, the Dragon King's Palace in the West City.
The mirror-like light reflected Mingdu's lips, which held a half-smile. Seeing Hanyu's series of high-value donations, he raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement and slight displeasure flashing in his dark golden vertical pupils.
It's unbelievable that such an uninteresting person could one day go to such lengths for the one they love.
He entered the live stream room using the ID "Dragon Lord of the Western Regions".
He has never liked to show off, and he mostly delegates the affairs of the western border of Fengdu to his subordinates. He himself is almost invisible in the world of horror live streaming.
Only a very few ancient beings and high-ranking officials of the underworld know the weight behind the title "Dragon Lord of the Western Regions".
But at this moment, he suddenly felt that making an exception once in a while might not be so bad.
At the very least, no one should be allowed to think that this place is theirs to draw boundaries at will.
So, he awkwardly found the tipping section and casually raised his finger.
[The Lord of the Western Regions becomes a Super Member of the live stream!]
One golden subtitle after another floated by, clearly indicating that Mingdu had become a super member of the live stream.
Super VIP membership, though seemingly insignificant, allows streamers to instantly spot a user when viewing the live chat.
【Lord of the Western Regions, what a ridiculous name】
[This big spender has poured so much money into the live stream, and you still dare to call him an idiot?]
That's clearly a powerful figure flaunting their wealth!
[Dad, Dad, do you need another son?]
Holy crap, even the relatives have shown up!
Lin Chujiu was a little shocked when she saw the ID and the golden bullet comments.
Then, something even more shocking happened to her.
The Lord of the Western Regions gifted streamer Sweet Wine 99 permanent guardians (9999 diamonds)
The Lord of the Western Regions gifted the streamer Sweet Wine a romantic sea of flowers*99 (9999 diamonds)
The Lord of the Western Regions gifted the streamer Sweet Wine 99 Starry Sky items (9999 diamonds)
...
After a series of gifts and tips, the amount reached tens of millions almost instantly!
That's incredibly extravagant!
Lin Chujiu stared in disbelief at the astonishing tip.
Seeing that he was about to continue, Lin Chujiu became anxious and quickly called out:
"Stop...stop! Stop giving tips!"
She spoke urgently, her pretty little face full of anxiety.
The chat room was filled with laughter.
Everyone else is asking for tips, but Jiu Jiu doesn't want any.
Haha, seeing Jiu Jiu remember this almost brought tears to my eyes.
If this continues, the wine might become too hot.
Haha, my daughter is so cute, and my son-in-law is so generous!
The person upstairs is completely absorbed in their role-playing and can't tear themselves away.
Seeing Lin Chujiu's anxious smile on the screen, Mingdu wanted to amuse her, so he sent out two more donations before finally stopping.
What if I make her cry?
Lin Chujiu paused for a moment before speaking in a serious tone:
"Thank you for the reward from the Lord of the Western Regions."
However, tipping should be done with caution and within one's means.
I would feel bad if my baby felt burdened by giving tips.
Lin Chujiu even doubted whether this was the little boy.
Although she likes to give tips, she is not that eager for them.
After all, money doesn't grow on trees. What if this money was a fan's impulsive donation and they need it for emergencies later? That would be bad.
Mingdu couldn't help but find it amusing to see the serious expression on Lin Chujiu's fair face.
but……
Thinking of something, he slowly typed out a line of text.
Golden comments immediately appeared in the live stream chat.
Do you like me or Han Yu?
