1129 Butterfly

ter. Why don't you learn from this Even children who just started middle school and can't swim go into the water to save peopleI could only say that I was bewitched.This is too creepy. I don't even kn...It's not that I'm too sensitive, there's really a problem.

I immediately jumped off Mu Wanchen's body, took two steps to the doorway, and shouted outside: "Sister!"

My sister had already walked to the back yard gate. Hearing my call, she turned back and smiled at me.

"Seeing you two so lovey-dovey, I'm embarrassed to interrupt. I'll go and pay my respects to Father first." Her voice and manner were as usual.

Her mind seemed clear, and her complexion wasn't pale or dark. Could it be that she was simply too weak physically, which made her walk unsteady

The more I think about it, the stranger it feels. I've barely been home lately, so I don't really know what's going on — I guess I've never really paid attention to what happens at home.

I haven't bothered with things, big or small.

In my subconscious, with you, my senior brother, here, everything in my home is safe and sound.

I've never really been involved in my family's affairs. As the youngest, big and small matters have never concerned me.

This is probably what Mu Wanchen meant by being pampered. Because as the youngest son, it seems that being cared for and advised by others was a given, and he didn't have to worry about anything himself at all.

My sister's situation might be more than just what Mu Wanchen said, "anguish in her heart, predicament in her feelings." Her health wasn't good to begin with, perhaps she truly needs a good rest and treatment.

"Ethan, I'm worried that something might be wrong with my sister... I just feel weird." I turned to Mu Wanchen and said.

Mu Wanchen also frowned slightly. He had just followed my gaze, and a normal person's gait should be steady and calm. My sister, as the well-bred young lady she is, with a gentle temperament, wouldn't run around like me. But her steps were obviously a bit unsteady just now.

I feel a little guilty—— I should have paid more attention to my sister. I'm often away from home, and she probably doesn't even have anyone to talk to.

"You follow her, I'll scout around." Mu Wanchen said to me.

I dashed out of the yard. My elder sister walked at a slower pace, she went around the corridor towards my father's study.

Rise and reflect, settle down at dusk. Before going out, make a pledge, upon returning, show your face.

This is a courtesy we started learning at the age of three. When we traveled out and returned home, we had to face our elders and report respectfully, even though it wasn't strictly enforced. My father still emphasized that his disciples should observe this etiquette.

Your senior brother has already taken a seat in Father's study, and Father is asking him about his recent journey.

After my sister went in, I stood outside the door and eavesdropped shamelessly.

It was mostly Junior Brother reporting, my sister didn't say much, only answering a couple of sentences when Father asked her.

My father, probably a little anxious, couldn't help but ask: "You two don't look too good. What's wrong with Yue'er She looks so listless."

Well, you see, I'm not the only one who feels this way. Even Dad has noticed something's off.

Jun Shidi furrowed his brows slightly, glanced at my elder sister, and asked in a low voice, "Yue Shimei, are you too tired from the long flight"

My sister rubbed her face: “Maybe so, this is the first time I’ve ever been on a plane for this long.”

"Night shifts and long flights can be really draining. If you're not feeling well, just rest in the room. I'll go greet the master for you." Junior Brother Jun reminded him.

I know my sister's intentions. Going out together and coming back together to greet each other are, in her view, activities that the two of us share, which can bring us closer. That's why she doesn't want to stay in her room to rest.

The emperor loved his eldest son, and the people favored the youngest.

I have no such scruples, I simply lay down on the door frame and gave Senior Brother Jun a wink.

Both my senior brother and my father saw me. My father was too lazy to bother with me, but my senior brother shook his head and stood up, accommodatingly walking out the door.

"Little sister, what are you doing" He frowned and looked at me, but there was a hint of a smile playing on his lips.

"Senior Brother, did my sister seem out of sorts at all this time you were gone I feel like she's a bit down... Did you two fight" I asked bluntly.

Jun shidi was slightly taken aback, chuckled softly and shook his head. "Do you think Yue shimei would argue with me"

“......”She seems to be not very good at it. When my sister gets angry, she just sulks on her own and it's fine after a while...But she doesn't seem to be in a good mood!” I said anxiously, “I can see that her steps are light and unsteady! This is not right at all, she looks like her soul is out of place...”

"I also noticed that," the senior brother frowned. "I told her before not to overthink things on her own, but her temperament..."

He paused and shook his head, a slight sigh escaping his lips. "She's different from you. She's thoughtful and introverted. Sometimes if she feels you say too much, she gets upset on her own. And no matter how much you try to explain, she just tunes you out."

“My sister has a gentle personality, while I am more mischievous.”

My senior brother shook his head and said, "It's not a matter of her personality being gentle or not, but rather an issue with her own mindset. She always feels that I favor you, and she cares deeply about this. I'm too lazy to explain, because even if I did, she wouldn't understand. Deep down, she doesn't trust or believe me, so no amount of explanation would help."

Well...this is the first time Jun-shixiong has spoken to me so directly about things between him and my sister. It's a bit too blunt for me, leaving me quite unprepared.

Maybe, maybe I do have a soft spot for you. You were always mischievous and willful as a child, but deep down you're quite sensible. I worry about you more than the others, and she might see that, feeling a little unbalanced in her heart. This might extend to her feelings, causing distrust and suspicion. This doubt isn't just directed at me, it's also towards herself...I don't know how to solve this.

I stared blankly at Jun Shixiong, he seemed to frown when talking about this issue.

I rarely see him looking so embarrassed.

"Little apprentice sister, you have your own life. As long as you are happy, the family will support you unconditionally. But Yue's apprentice sister is different, she... If she wants to be my wife, she has to shoulder many responsibilities of the family... Everyone has their own status, responsibilities and feelings."

As the eldest daughter of a master, she has to bear more than you do. Perhaps I haven't handled this relationship well. I always feel that in terms of emotions, she is more childish than you.

“Am I childish” I feel like Junior Brother Jun is criticizing me everywhere I go!

"Naive." Jun Shidi chuckled lightly and shook his head. "Not only naive, but also innocent."

"...But your heart is not weak, feelings need to be invested, and investing always comes with times when there's no return. You can not mind it, but she can't, she's sensitive and delicate, even...fragile."

At this point, Jun's senior brother couldn't help but facepalm: "For such a small matter, she would still be brooding over it."

This, this……

"Brother Jun..." I thought for a moment, then looked up at him and took a deep breath. clouds, thick black wisps of cloud blocking out the moon.On that massive stone pillar, shadows flowed with light, some incomprehensible shapes leaping upon its surface. The flames on the altar soared...
