In the evening, Isha returned home accompanied by Wei.
Looking at the dark room, little Isha pursed her lips.
Wei noticed Isha's expression, half-kneeled, and looked at Isha, whose eyes were red, clearly indicating she had cried a lot. She reached out and gently stroked Isha's face, while Wei silently watched Isha.
She didn't know how to comfort Isha.
Just like after listening to Silco's words, she couldn't convince herself to really let go of Jinx.
Sometimes, people need to let go of their own resentment. Only by making peace with oneself can some things truly be let go. Therefore, Jinx didn't let go, Vi didn't let go, and neither did Isha.
However, being strong and sensible, she chose to let go of her sister and allow Jinx to pursue what she wanted, rather than forcibly keeping Jinx by her side and clipping Jinx's wings.
Is Isha actually more sensible than Jinx?
After all, Jinx only complained about the people around her when she was young and didn't try to understand others, but Li Ke helped her grow up and changed her.
But Wei suddenly felt that this change wasn't good.
"Isha, why don't you move in with me? I'll take good care of you. Jinx is gone now, so from now on, I'll be your older sister, okay?" Vi said softly.
Isha looked up at Wei, placed her hands beside her face, pressed her small hands on the back of Wei's hands, closed her eyes, and shook her head.
Wei understood what Isha meant, glanced around the room, and asked, "So, what are you going to do for dinner?"
Isha raised her forearm and rolled up her sleeves to show off muscles she didn't actually have.
Wei understood what Isha meant. She sighed and nodded to Isha: "Okay, if you need anything, be sure to tell me. I'll come to see you every day, understand?"
Isha nodded.
After saying this, Wei stood up, and Isha turned and walked into the house.
She opened the door; the room was pitch black. Isha waved to Vi, then closed the door and went inside alone.
Wei lingered outside the door for a while before leaving with her hands in her pockets.
Isha turned on the light, looked at the empty room, and then walked straight to Jinx's door.
She pushed open the door and looked at the lifeless room. Her lips pursed, and tears welled up in her eyes.
But then, Isha raised her arm, rubbed her eyes hard, sniffled, closed the door, and went into the kitchen alone.
The freezer was placed very high because the older brother had always been the one cooking at home, so she and her sister never had to think about cooking. Therefore, the tall older brother placed the freezer high up for his own convenience, and also to prevent her and her sister from sneaking desserts.
Isha picked up a stool, stood on it, and opened the freezer. Inside, there were some ingredients that Wei had stored away. She tiptoed and took out a few pieces of food. Then, Isha moved the stool again, found the cutting board, picked up a cleaver, and prepared to cook dinner for herself.
It's okay
I can live on my own; I will take good care of myself.
I will eat every day, I will study hard, and I will grow up to be an adult.
So sister, you don't need to worry about me.
I can't tell you just how much I love you.
But my actions will prove everything; I will listen to you, sister.
Taking a deep breath and patting her cheeks, Isha encouraged herself as she clumsily began cooking.
Before meeting Jinx, she ate scraps of food she found and cooked for herself; the old Isha never had such opportunities.
A bowl of hot soup was ready. Isha, wearing gloves, picked up the large bowl, placed it on the table, moved her stool to sit down, picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat.
One bite, two bites
"Tick-tock."
Large tears streamed down her cheeks and into the bowl. Isha sobbed as she ate her food with her head down. She had to eat properly, or she wouldn't grow up.
In the letter her sister wrote to her, she was told that she must eat on time, listen to the adults, and not cause them worry like she did.
Isha will listen to her sister.
While eating, Isha suddenly heard a noise, and then she turned around to look.
The door to the house was pushed open. Isha thought that Wei was worried that Isa wouldn't be able to cook the meal by herself, so she chose to find her instead. Just as she was about to get up from her stool, Isha froze.
With one hand still resting on the table, one foot on the ground, and the other dangling from the chair, Isha stared blankly as one—no, two—entered the room.
One person is carrying another person on their back.
The black-haired youth wore a doting smile as he reached out and took off the blue cat-ear hat from his head, placing it on a nearby rack. The blue-haired girl behind him was carrying two bags filled with groceries.
Isha stared blankly at Li Ke and Jinx, her mouth agape.
She couldn't understand what was going on at all!
"Isha, what's wrong? Don't you recognize your brother?" Li Ke saw Isha's little expression and saw her looking at him with tears in her eyes. So he reached out and patted Jinx's little bottom naturally, signaling Jinx to get off his back quickly.
Jinx also came down, placed the two bags she was carrying at her feet, and then stood prettily next to Li Ke, hands on her hips, looking at Isha and scoffing, "Why are you crying? I went to find Li Ke, didn't I?"
After hearing this, Li Ke didn't want to criticize Jinx.
She was the one who cried the hardest and most bitterly.
At least Isha's eyes were red and she was crying, but you were crying your heart out until your voice was hoarse.
"Eeya?"
"Eeya!"
Isha, who had been in a daze, finally came to her senses and ran towards Li Ke, then tried to hug Li Ke's leg tightly.
But Li Ke also squatted down, opened his arms and hugged Isha, then picked up little Isha.
Amused, Li Ke reached out and poked Isha's cheek as she Kog'Maw. "Haven't seen you in a year," he said. "Your teeth have all grown in, huh? Smile so your brother can see if they're crooked. Don't let them grow in like your sister's, whose mouth protrudes a bit."
"Bullshit!" Jinx yelled from the side.
Her lips don't protrude at all!
Li Ke clearly said that he was very affectionate!
Isha didn't laugh. Instead, she looked at Li Ke's face, reached out and touched Li Ke eyebrows, eyes, nose, and lips. Then, Isha stretched her neck and gave Li Ke a big kiss on the face, making little noises.
She cried as she called out to them.
But this time, even as Isha cried, there was a happy smile in her eyes.
She was happy, genuinely happy.
My sister is back, and my brother is back too!
Jinx watched from the side, her eyes flickered, and then she leaned in and stood on tiptoe to plant a hard kiss on Li Ke's face.
Isha paused for a moment when she saw Jinx's action, then leaned down and kissed Li Ke again.
Jinx quickly tiptoed and added another touch.
"Smack--" Isha's.
"Smack!" Jinx's.
Li Ke reached up and slapped his forehead, speechless at the sight of the two figures, one big and one small.
After setting Isha down, Li Ke picked up the bag from the ground, glanced at the food Isha had prepared, and said with a smile, "Who told you to cook?"
"The kitchen is my territory. From now on, neither you nor your sister are allowed to enter the kitchen without permission."
"Do you understand?" Li Ke asked Isha seriously.
Isha nodded vigorously, obediently letting out a soft "ee-ee" in response to Li Ke's words.
Then, she and Jinx huddled together next to Li Ke, watching Li Ke skillfully begin cooking.
"I know you have a lot of questions for me, so, Isha, come to our room tonight and sleep next to your sister. I'll tell you about what's happened to me lately."
"From now on, our family won't fall apart again, because I'm back." Li Ke pinched Jinx's cheek, fed her a piece of fruit, which she happily ate, chewed vigorously, and then swallowed.
Li Ke patted Isha's head again and handed her a piece of fruit.
Isha took it with both hands, put it in her mouth, and started chewing.
Then, she took two steps back.
A smile appeared on Isha's face as she watched her sister stand on tiptoe, wrap her arms around her brother's neck, and rest her chin on his shoulder.
It seems like this house only feels like a home when my brother is here.
And what about Li Ke?
Seeing that Jinx and Isha both agreed to his suggestion and were going to sleep together that night, Li Ke secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If he slept with Jinx, this girl would definitely be unable to resist touching herself constantly.
To be honest, Jinx has always been addicted to herself, so it's hard to imagine how passionate Jinx will be this night after such a long separation.
If Jinx makes a move, it will be difficult for Li Ke to resist taking action against Jinx!
But you have to hold back, you really have to hold back.
Li Ke, you've already endured this for so long, it's okay to endure it for another two months.
Once Jinx recovers, I'll show her what you're made of!
Big black bug?
Fart!
It's a big dragon!
Get ready to have a blue-haired little Li Ke Luthor, Jinx!
At the dinner table, Li Ke squinted at Jinx, who was eating and drinking soup with gusto, and put aside his unseemly thoughts, revealing a genuinely happy smile.
Meanwhile, Isha was also eating heartily.
The two women in the family were very respectful to Li Ke, and they ate their meals with gusto, which pleased Li Ke greatly.
Then, Li Ke also lowered his head.
After drifting at sea for so long, Li Ke truly felt at ease now, having a proper meal with his family.
Looking at Jinx and Isha, Li Ke felt a deep sense of gratitude towards Ahri.
I didn't die.
That's really nice.
