Your Egg... Is Burnt

Ye Xian'er hurriedly closed her light blue eyes, then quickly turned her head away, a faint blush coloring her exquisite face.

I... I saw it when we were little. Why was it so scary now...

"Go put some clothes on."

Ye Xian'er turned her little face to the side as she spoke, her voice carrying a slight tremor.

No matter how cold she was, no matter how outstanding she was, she was still a girl who had never known such things.

"Oh."

Ye Tianyi was panicking too. He hurried back to his room and only came out after changing into a clean set of clothes.

Embarrassed as hell.

Ye Xian'er was already sitting on the sofa. She poured Ye Tianyi a glass of water, and his clothes had been soaked in water. She would wash them when she had time.

"Well... it wasn't my fault either." Ye Tianyi walked over, scratching his head awkwardly.

Ye Xian'er did not continue the subject. She raised her head, her light blue eyes looking at Ye Tianyi.

Ye Tianyi glanced at her too, feeling a little shy.

This woman was just too beautiful.

Ye Tianyi gave a dry cough and sat down on the sofa opposite her.

"Why did you come home during the day today?"

Ye Tianyi picked up the water and took a sip.

"I heard from your academy's instructor that you caused trouble at the academy again. I came back to take a look."

Ye Xian'er looked at Ye Tianyi with a slight frown between her brows.

"No, I really didn't cause any trouble."

Ye Tianyi shrugged.

He truly felt sorry inside. She was busy outside every day, yet she still had to worry about his affairs.

"I heard from your academy's instructor that you beat someone so badly they were seriously injured."

Ye Xian'er stared at Ye Tianyi, her brows tightly furrowed.

"That absolutely didn't happen. You can have them check the surveillance footage."

Ye Tianyi shook his head.

"Tell me what happened."

"It was simple. He came looking for trouble with me and wanted to teach me a lesson. I didn't even touch him, but then his crotch exploded with crackles and pops. I was stunned too! How could that be my fault? Was I supposed to have stuffed a string of firecrackers into his pants? Besides, there weren't even any traces of firecrackers going off." Ye Tianyi shrugged.

Ye Xian'er looked into Ye Tianyi's eyes. She felt that his eyes were very sincere, carrying the feeling they had when she looked into them when he was little. Before, the light in his gaze had been clouded, but now he seemed to have changed. Of course, it was only his gaze.

Naturally, she would not believe that her younger brother could instantly transform from the scum he had been into some wonderful person. Nor could she have imagined it. She only hoped he could slowly change.

"I'll go to Heavenly Water Academy tomorrow and look into it. If it really happened the way you said, I'll stand by your side." Ye Xian'er looked at Ye Tianyi and spoke calmly.

After he had broken her heart so many times, she still chose to believe Ye Tianyi's words.

"Alright!" Ye Tianyi nodded, warmth filling his heart.

"I hope you won't lie to me again."

Ye Xian'er sighed softly. Though she always felt that Ye Tianyi was lying to her and that she might be the one embarrassed after going to the academy, she still wanted to believe him. She believed her younger brother was not that bad and that he would get better.

That simple sentence made Ye Tianyi's heart ache.

"Don't worry. This will be the last time."

Ye Tianyi looked into her beautiful light blue eyes.

Ye Xian'er looked at Ye Tianyi. Their eyes met, yet she was the first to look away.

Ye Xian'er turned her face to the side, feeling rather happy because of Ye Tianyi's words, but also confused. Why did Ye Tianyi suddenly seem to have changed so much? He had never been mature at all before.

Before, how many times had he told her this would be the last time? But what happened?

The last time... She did not dare hope it would truly be the last time. She only hoped he could slowly get better.

"You must be hungry. I'll go cook."

After saying that, Ye Xian'er stood up and casually tied on an apron.

In this world, Ye Tianyi was the only person she was willing to cook for of her own accord. It was something no one else could envy.

Ye Tianyi rubbed his stomach and nodded. "I'm starving. I want braised pork."

"Mm."

"And spare rib soup."

"Alright."

Ye Tianyi leaned against the kitchen doorway, watching Ye Xian'er skillfully cook in the kitchen. Even while cooking, every movement of hers was so elegant, so beautiful... She was truly a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.

"Sis, do you think we'll ever be separated?"

Leaning there and biting into a cucumber, Ye Tianyi smiled and asked.

Ye Xian'er's back suddenly stiffened. Then she continued cutting the meat and said calmly, "Unless one day you no longer need me."

"That won't happen. A piece of trash like me will need you for the rest of my life."

"You're not trash."

Ye Xian'er put down the knife, turned around, and looked at Ye Tianyi. Her tone was utterly resolute.

Even though Ye Tianyi had broken her heart so many times, even though he truly did nothing but idle around, she had never accepted in her heart that he was trash, that he was a coward.

Ye Xian'er slowly walked toward Ye Tianyi and stopped before him. She was tall, only half a head shorter than Ye Tianyi. Looking into his eyes, she slowly raised a hand and gently used the back of her clean hand to smooth his messy bangs as she said, "There is no trash in this world, no cowards. So-called trash only becomes trash when they have already accepted in their hearts that they are trash."

Then she lowered her hand, looked into Ye Tianyi's eyes, and continued, "The world is unfair. Only by becoming stronger can you make the unfairness upon you less and less. On the day you succeed, others will only be able to look up at you and say, 'The world was unfair to him.' Do you want to become someone who watches others say that the world was unfair to you?"

Ye Tianyi shook his head.

"People are all born human, with two eyes and two hands. What do I lack compared to you? I lack nothing!"

Ye Xian'er looked into Ye Tianyi's eyes and spoke sincerely.

To be honest, Ye Tianyi was truly shaken. This Ye Xian'er really was different.

People were all born human, with two eyes and two hands. What do I lack compared to you? I lack nothing!

Ye Tianyi simply could not understand it. With such an older sister unable to teach the original Ye Tianyi right, just how worthless had that Ye Tianyi been?

"I understand." Ye Tianyi took a deep breath and nodded.

"Cultivate properly. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask your academy's instructor, or you can ask me. Talent is only the starting point; effort determines the length of the journey to the end."

Ye Xian'er turned around and continued cutting the meat.

"Sis, keep cutting the meat. I'll fry you two eggs."

Ye Tianyi turned on the stove, heated some oil, and cracked the eggs into the pan.

Ye Xian'er glanced at Ye Tianyi. He seemed to be slowly getting better...

Ye Tianyi increasingly felt that Ye Xian'er was charming and captivating. What captivated him was not merely her appearance, but her temperament and her heart. With his back to the pan, Ye Tianyi watched Ye Xian'er cut the meat, and as he watched, he became entranced.

"Xiao Yi?"

Ye Xian'er turned her head to look at Ye Tianyi and found him staring blankly.

"Huh?"

Ye Tianyi snapped back to his senses.

"Your egg..." Ye Xian'er said softly.

Ye Tianyi lowered his head and looked.

"What's wrong with my egg?"

Ye Xian'er pointed at the pan behind Ye Tianyi.

"Your egg... is burnt."

Ye Tianyi: "..."
