Ark Simulator: Don't I Have No Physical Form?
A very faint yet remarkably clear cough suddenly broke the silence, which was filled with tears and tenderness, from the other side of the room.
Su Rui and Enya Ensia Silverash, who were immersed in the joy of their reunion, suddenly froze and looked in the direction of the sound.
In the shadows near the doorway to the inner room, a person stood silently, unnoticed.
Kjeragandr.
She was still wearing that simple white robe, barefoot, her long silver hair cascading down her back like a waterfall woven from moonlight. Her exquisite face was expressionless, her golden eyes calm and still, as if the cough from just now hadn't come from her. She stood there quietly, seemingly blending into the shadows, yet her presence was impossible to ignore.
Volume 18, Chapters 1235: You guys chat first, Su Rui and I will go to the side.
Yela's gaze first calmly swept over Enya and Ensia Silverash, who were tightly embracing and tears streaming down their faces, her eyes devoid of any emotion, as if this deeply moving scene was no different from the snowflakes falling in the wind. Then, her gaze slowly moved and landed on Su Rui was standing at the door, seemingly preparing to silently retreat.
Those calm, unwavering golden eyes flickered almost imperceptibly the instant their gazes met Su Rui's. Then, before Su Rui could even react or see the movement—
Yela moved.
As if teleported, she emerged from the shadows on the other side of the room and appeared before Su Rui in a single step. The distance was so close that Su Rui could even smell the familiar, cold, and vast aura emanating from her, like that of an ancient glacier.
Before Su Rui could even react, she felt her arm being gripped by a slightly cool hand, yet with an irresistible force. The force wasn't strong, but it was exceptionally firm, carrying an unquestionable meaning.
Then, under the astonished gazes of Su Rui, and as Enya and Ensia Silverash, temporarily recovering from the excitement of their reunion due to this sudden turn of events, their tear-streaked faces showing surprise—
Yela exerted a slight force with her arm, using a seemingly gentle but actually irresistible strength, to gently pull Su Rui from the doorway towards herself.
Su Rui felt a gentle yet irresistible force come over her, and her body involuntarily staggered forward a step. Then, she was pulled into Yela's arms in a way that was both "protective" and "assertive".
Yes, I pulled her into my arms.
Yera was slightly taller than Suri, and at that moment, Suri's cheek was almost touching the side of her beautifully shaped neck. One of her arms was loosely wrapped around Suri's waist (through his clothes), while the other hand rested seemingly casually on his shoulder. This posture didn't seem particularly intimate or ambiguous, but it was full of a strong sense of possessiveness and an unquestionable implication—this person, now, was under my "control."
Su Rui: "...???"
He froze completely. His mind went Blank for a moment because of this sudden and completely unexpected situation. Yela's cold and vast aura, mixed with a very faint scent, like the purest ice and snow from the summit of a snow-capped mountain, enveloped him. He could feel the cool and steady touch on Yela's arm, and he could feel a few strands of her silver hair brushing against his cheek, bringing a slightly itchy sensation.
What... what's going on?!
Yela ignored Su Rui's stiffness and astonishment, and didn't look at Enya and Ensia Silverash's slightly surprised and subtle gazes. She simply turned her head slightly, her calm, unwavering golden eyes falling on Enya's face, and spoke in her usual clear, icy voice, devoid of any emotional fluctuation:
"The person has been brought." Her voice wasn't loud, but it echoed clearly in the warm bedchamber. "Time is short. You two, talk."
The message was concise and to the point, even carrying a hint of urging. It was as if it were saying, "Aren't you sisters missing each other terribly? Now that you've met, seize the time to pour out your hearts to each other. Don't waste time hugging and crying here. As for this 'deliveryman' and 'vehicle,' they're mine now."
Enya was still immersed in the excitement and joy of her sister's reunion, her face still wet with tears. She was taken aback by Yela's sudden action and words. Then, a barely perceptible look crossed her face, a mixture of surprise, helplessness, and a very subtle, almost imperceptible, unease, as if something had been taken from her. Her gaze involuntarily fell on Su Rui, who was being held in Yela's arms in an almost possessive manner.
Su Rui's expression at this moment was quite a sight. From initial stunned stiffness, to the embarrassment and bewilderment upon realizing that Yela was holding Yela in an almost "possessive" manner, his ears even turned slightly red from this sudden and overly "intimate" contact (although Yela's expression and actions showed no ambiguity). He tried to struggle slightly, but Yela's arms around his waist, seemingly loose, carried an undeniable, icy, and stable strength that rendered him unable to move.
"Lady Yela ..." Enya began, her voice still slightly hoarse from crying. She looked at Yela with a complicated expression, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she just sighed softly and looked back at Ensia Silverash in her arms, who was also a little dazed by Yela's actions and had even temporarily forgotten to cry.
Yes, time is running out. Dawn is approaching. She and Ensia have been separated for so long, there are so many things they want to say, so many feelings they want to express, and so much to know about each other's lives. Every minute, every second is precious.
As for the relationship between Lady Yela and Su Rui... Enya's gaze quickly swept over Su Rui, who was being held tightly in Yela's arms, and his unusually awkward and helpless stiffness. The subtle unease in her eyes seemed to be replaced by a barely perceptible, extremely faint smile. Lady Yela's thoughts, sometimes, are truly... unfathomable. However, since Lady Yela has "taken over" Su Rui, she and Ensia can indeed temporarily stop worrying about him.
Enya took a deep breath, suppressing the extremely subtle feeling of unease that arose from Yela's "interruption" of the hug (although she was hugging Ensia, Yela's action of pulling Su Rui away made her feel a little... subtly uncomfortable), and focused all her attention back on her younger sister in her arms.
She loosened her arms from tightly embracing Ensia Silverash, but her hands still gripped Ensia Silverash's shoulders, pulling away slightly so that she could see her sister's face more clearly. Her gaze greedily swept over Ensia Silverash's eyebrows and eyes, as if she wanted to deeply etch this long-lost face, which only appeared in her dreams, into her heart.
"Ensia, let your older sister take a good look at you..." Enya's voice was so gentle it could melt hearts, her eyes filled with undisguised love and longing. "You've grown taller, and you've lost weight... Have you been eating properly? Has anyone been bullying you? Is SilverAsh... good to you?"
A barrage of questions came out of Enya's mouth like a machine gun. Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, and her fingers gently stroked Ensia Silverash's tear-stained cheeks, wiping away the tears with tenderness.
Ensia Silverash was pulled back to her senses by her sister's concerned question, temporarily snapping out of her surprise at "Why is Lady Yela hugging Su Rui?" Her longing for her sister, like a flood bursting its banks, overwhelmed her once more. She shook her head vigorously, tears welling up again, but a large, tearful smile bloomed on her face:
Volume 18, Chapter 1236: I really want to escape~
"Sister! I'm fine! I'm okay! Brother... he's very busy, but he's very good to me! I'm eating well and growing up well! How about you, sister? Are you doing well on Holy Mountain? Have the people from Manjushri Monastery bullied you? Su Rui said you're taking care of the flowers and plants in the temple, is that true? You look... a little thinner..."
The two sisters were once again immersed in their own world, as if they had endless things to say and questions to ask each other. Enya pulled Ensia Silverash along to the soft low couch by the fireplace and sat down. The two huddled close together, hand in hand, their eyes never leaving each other's faces, eagerly exchanging memories of the years they had been apart, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing, sometimes playfully scolding, and sometimes embracing each other, as if trying to make up for all the time they had missed.
The warm fire cast their intertwined silhouettes on the wall, long and stretching out as if they had never been apart.
Su Rui, who was being held in Yela's arms in an almost "imprisoning" manner, was experiencing extremely complex emotions at this moment.
He was forced to stand beside Yela in an extremely awkward position (or rather, "fixed" to her side by Yela), feeling the undeniable presence and icy aura emanating from Yela, listening to the heartfelt conversation between the sisters Enya and Ensia Silverash beside him, while he felt like a large, silent decoration, or... a "held hostage"?
He tried again, very slightly, to move his shoulder, trying to break free from Yela's seemingly casual but actually firm arm.
Yela's hand on his shoulder pressed down almost imperceptibly. The pressure was light, but it carried a clear and undeniable warning—don't move.
At the same time, Yela slightly turned her head, her calm, unwavering golden eyes glancing at Su Rui up close, devoid of any emotion. Her gaze seemed to say: Stay quiet. This is none of your business.
Su Rui: "..." He felt the veins on his forehead throb because of this strange and frustrating situation.
He could only maintain a stiff posture, eyes downcast, trying to be like a statue, pretending not to hear the whispers of the two sisters beside him and the occasional suppressed sobs and soft laughter, nor to feel the strong, icy aura emanating from Yela, and the seemingly casual yet controlling touch.
Although Ensia Silverash was excitedly telling her sister about her longing for her, she couldn't help but steal glances at the strange yet harmonious (?) "duo" next to her.
Lady Yela... she actually hugged Su Rui like that? Although Lady Yela's expression seemed no different from usual, as calm as if she were just brushing snowflakes off her shoulder, that action, that posture... no matter how you looked at it, it carried a strong, undeniable sense of possessiveness! And Su Rui's stiff, embarrassed, wanting to move but not daring to move... it was really... too interesting!
In Ensia Silverash's heart, the little flame of gossip ignited instantly, as if doused with oil! There seemed to be... something subtle between her sister and Lady Yela? And with Su Rui in the middle, it seemed... his situation was quite "difficult"?
However, looking at her sister's beautiful face, so close yet filled with gentleness and concern, and feeling the real warmth of her sister's hand, Ensia Silverash's curiosity about gossip was replaced by immense happiness and satisfaction. Sister! She had finally seen her sister again! Everything else could be put aside for now!
But her bright blue eyes couldn't help but steal a quick glance at Yela and Su Rui. Hmm... after talking to her sister, she'd definitely give Su Rui a good "interrogation"! Ensia Silverash clenched her little fist inwardly.
The fireplace crackled and popped, continuously casting a warm glow that bathed the bedchamber in a soft, bright light. The air was filled with the aroma of herbs, incense, and the slightly salty, warm scent of tears shed after a long separation. Enya and Ensia Silverash sat side-by-side on the soft couch by the fireplace, their bodies close together, their hands clasped tightly, as if afraid that if they let go, the other would disappear again. Their voices were low and rapid, as if they had endless things to say. Sometimes they asked urgently, sometimes they spoke tenderly, sometimes they let out suppressed laughter, and sometimes their eyes reddened at a topic that touched a raw nerve, crystal tears silently sliding down their cheeks, only to be quickly wiped away by each other's warm fingers.
Time slipped away quietly amidst the bittersweet reminiscence. The sky outside the window remained a deep, inky blue, but the pale light on the eastern horizon seemed more pronounced than before, struggling to pierce through the thick clouds, foreshadowing the approaching dawn.
On the other side of the sleeping quarters, near the entrance to the inner chamber, in a slightly dimmer area, the eerie yet harmonious "duo"—or rather, "one person and one (controlled) leopard"—maintained that delicate posture.
Kjeragandr stood there quietly, her figure upright, like an ancient, unchanging ice crystal tree growing atop a snow-capped peak. Her exquisite face remained expressionless, her golden eyes calmly gazing ahead, as if staring into the void, or perhaps simply "daydreaming." Yet her arm remained loosely wrapped around Su Rui's waist in a seemingly casual yet incredibly stable posture, her other hand still resting on his shoulder.
Su Rui was forced to stand stiffly beside Yela in an almost "punishment" posture. He could clearly feel the steady, slightly cool touch on Yela's arm, and smell the cold, vast aura emanating from her, aura that seemed capable of cleansing all distractions. At first, he managed to maintain his "statue" state, eyes downcast, pretending not to exist, but as time went on, this "imprisoned" posture began to make him feel a certain degree of... unease.
In particular, he could clearly hear the tender conversation between the sisters Enya and Ensia Silverash, beside him. Their whispered words, full of affection and longing, brushed against his eardrums like feathers, drawing his attention involuntarily. He could feel the undisguised love and worry in Enya's voice, and the genuine dependence and joy in Ensia Silverash's words. This pure and profound sisterly affection touched a soft spot in his heart.
But Yela's presence was simply too strong. Her calm, seemingly all-seeing golden eyes, though not deliberately looking at him, made Su Rui feel that his every move, even the slightest change in expression, was not missed. This feeling of being "watched invisibly," coupled with the undeniable touch on his waist and shoulders, made it increasingly difficult for him to remain completely still.
Volume 18, Chapter 1237: Yela is a bad person.
Just as Su Rui felt her muscles getting stiff from maintaining one position for so long, and was hesitating whether to try moving them very slightly again—
Yela moved.
It wasn't a large movement, but an extremely subtle one. The hand that was resting loosely on Su Rui's shoulder suddenly twitched, its slender, slightly cool fingers, which seemed to contain some ancient power.
Fingertips gently brushed against the exposed skin on the side of Su Rui's neck.
The touch was slightly cool, with a jade-like delicacy, yet because of its owner's status, it carried an indescribable, heart-pounding sense of majesty. Su Rui's body stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment because of this sudden, completely unexpected touch, and a subtle electric current seemed to surge through his spine from the point of contact.
Then, as if finding an interesting "toy," that hand began to gently caress and knead Su Rui's neck, shoulders, and even upwards in a slow, almost languid rhythm. The movements were very light, with a casual, almost careless feel, as if teasing a pet.
This...?!
Because of his snow leopard bloodline, Su Rui's ears were more sensitive than those of an ordinary person, even in human form. When Yela's fingers brushed against the skin at the edge of his earlobe unintentionally or not, the cool and strangely tactile caress made him almost reflexively twitch the tip of his ear, trying to avoid the somewhat "annoying" touch.
But Yela's fingers, as if possessing a mind of their own, did not leave. Instead, following the subtle tremor, they moved upwards and gently pinched the tips of Su Rui's furry animal ears, which were trembling slightly from the sudden stimulation.
Su Rui: "...!"
He froze, his breath catching in his throat for a moment. His animal ears were one of the most sensitive parts of his body! He rarely touched them himself, let alone had them... handled like this by someone else!
Yela's fingers gently pinched the soft yet resilient tips of the ear, her fingertips even applying a research-like, curious pressure as she rubbed them. Then, she used her fingertips to gently scratch the extremely fine downy hairs on the inside of the ear.
"!!!"
An indescribable current, a mixture of tingling, slight itching, and intense discomfort, shot from the tip of his ear to Su Rui's brain! At that moment, all the muscles in his body tensed up violently due to the intense stimulation and a feeling that was almost "shameful"! The base of his tail (although he was in human form at this moment, the sensation originating from his bloodline and corresponding to that part of his body was still there) even twitched slightly uncontrollably.
He instinctively tried to turn his head away, but Yela's arms around his waist, though still loose, seemed to possess an invisible, irresistible force of restraint, preventing him from making any large movements. He could only stiffly maintain his original posture, letting Yela's cool fingers gently knead and caress his sensitive animal ears as if playing with a novel toy.
Yela, seemingly oblivious to Su Rui's stiffness and momentary tension, remained calm and composed. Her golden eyes continued to gaze ahead, as if she were merely performing an ordinary task—smoothing out wrinkles in her clothing or brushing dust from her shoulders. Only her thick, feather-like eyelashes trembled almost imperceptibly, revealing that she was not entirely focused at the moment.
After kneading Su Rui's animal ears for a while, Yela seemed to get a little bored (or perhaps, she found a new "target"). Her fingers slowly moved down along the side of Su Rui's neck, gliding over his smooth shoulder and neck lines, to his back, and then gently rested on Su Rui's lower back, near his tailbone.
Su Rui: "...?!"
If the rubbing of his ears just now only caused him intense stimulation and discomfort, then now, the spot where Yela's fingers touched almost made the hairs on his entire body stand on end! That area, in his human form, corresponds to the base of his tail, and its sensitivity far exceeds that of his ears!
He could clearly feel Yela's slightly cool fingertips, through the not-too-thick clothing, gently touching that crucial spot. There was no force, just a light touch, even with a casual, nonchalant feel, as if they were just casually placed there.
But for Su Rui, this "casualness" was nothing short of torture! Every nerve in his body seemed to be focused on that "marked" spot. Every hair on his body stood on end, his body was as stiff as a frozen block of ice, and even his breathing became cautious, for fear that the slightest movement would invite the fingers to "explore" further.
But Yela seemed to think that wasn't enough. Her hand, which was resting on Su Rui's waist, began to wander. Her fingertips, with a cool touch that seemed to penetrate the fabric, gently traced circles on Su Rui's waist, the movements slow and languid, with an almost teasing quality.
Kneading the sensitive animal ears, touching the vital tailbone area, and then there's that faint, feather-like circling motion on the side of the waist...
Su Rui felt like he was suffocating. A surge of heat, uncontrollably rising from his tailbone to the top of his head, caused his ears and cheeks to flush rapidly. He wanted to struggle, to protest, to escape immediately from Yela's "mischievous" control (though he wasn't sure if Yela even had such an emotion as "funny"), but his body was firmly "nailed" to the spot by that seemingly casual, yet actually icy, binding force, unable to move.
A wave of immense shame and an indescribable, strange sensation, a mixture of stimulation and discomfort, washed over him. He could only bite his lower lip hard, lower his head even further, trying to use his falling silver hair to cover his already flushed cheeks and ears. At the same time, his body trembled almost imperceptibly, trying to avoid the omnipresent, heart-pounding touches.
However, the more he tried to avoid it, the more the subtle, uncontrollable trembling of his body seemed to "please" Yela. Yela's fingers on his waist seemed to become more "lively," the faint circling turning into gentle pressing and kneading with a bit of force. And the fingers on his tailbone, although not making any further movements, were more distinct and harder to ignore than any other touch.
Su Rui, who was noticed in Volume 18, Chapter 1238
Su Rui's animal ears twitched uncontrollably from time to time due to the repeated, varying degrees of "harassment" from different parts of her body, trying to shake off the annoying yet inescapable touch. The furry, warm ear tips would even inadvertently brush against Yela's beautifully shaped jawline and neck during the unconscious twitching.
The soft, downy texture, as it brushed against the skin, brought a slightly itchy, strange sensation.
Yela's usually calm and unwavering golden eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly as the tip of her ear brushed against Su Rui's chin once more. The movement was so subtle, so quick, that it seemed like an illusion. Then, her hand, which had been resting on Su Rui's shoulder, moved slowly upwards along the side of Su Rui neck, finally settling on his other, untouched animal ear.
As a result, Su Rui's other ear also suffered the same "treatment".
Cool fingertips pinched the furry earlobe, gently kneading it, even with an exploratory patience, using the fingernails to very lightly scratch the softest and most sensitive area inside the earlobe.
"Ugh...!"
A barely audible, trembling, almost sobbing groan finally escaped uncontrollably from Su Rui's clenched teeth. He abruptly closed his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling violently from the intense stimulation and shame. The blush on his face and neck had spread to his collarbone. He felt like a shrimp being roasted on a fire, unable to escape, curled up (though his posture didn't allow it) in Yela's controlling embrace (imprisonment).
His embarrassed, ashamed, and powerless appearance, along with the slight trembling caused by the continuous stimulation of his sensitive areas, was, in the eyes of onlookers, truly... filled with an indescribable, heart-pounding impact.
At least, that's how it appeared to Ensia Silverash, who was "stealing a moment of leisure" and occasionally glancing over from the corner of her eye.
Although Ensia Silverash was excitedly reminiscing with her sister, talking about the bits and pieces of the years they had been apart, showing concern for her sister's life on the Holy Mountain, and expressing her endless longing for her sister, a considerable portion of her attention was actually drawn to the strange and "exciting" interaction next to her.
There's no way around it, that scene is just too... too irresistible to watch!
Lady Yela, that legendary, cold, majestic, and unapproachable being like ancient ice and snow, was now "imprisoning" Su Rui by her side in an almost "pet-keeping" manner. Moreover, she was using her seemingly noble and elegant, yet actually mischievous, fingers to thoroughly and meticulously "harass" Su Rui! Rubbing his ears! Pinching his lower back! And even... touching there (although Ensia Silverash wasn't sure exactly where, judging from Su Rui's reaction, it was definitely a very sensitive spot)!
Su Rui 'Ensia Silverash reaction, her gossip-loving heart burning brightly! Look! Su Rui's restrained, ashamed expression, his attempt to hide but unable to, his ears and tail (though unseen, they were definitely trembling!) twitching uncontrollably from the stimulation, even unconsciously brushing against Lady Yela's chin! The blush spreading across his face and neck! His tightly clenched lower lip and trembling eyelashes! And that muffled, trembling groan he couldn't hold back!
Oh my god! This is... this is so exciting! It's more exciting than any romance novel she's ever read (the one she secretly kept) on Rhodes Island! So this is how Lady Yela and Su Rui interact in private?! This... this looks like... Instantly, countless indescribable words and images filled with pink bubbles popped into Ensia Silverash's little head.
Ensia Silverash watched with great interest, and was even a little distracted when talking to her sister. She answered questions a beat slower, and her gaze kept drifting in that direction.
Sitting next to Ensia Silverash, holding her sister's hand tightly, Enya naturally noticed her sister's obvious absent-mindedness and the strikingly bright, curious, and inquisitive gaze that kept drifting towards Su Rui and Yela.
Following her sister's gaze, Enya's eyes also fell on the "duo" once again.
When she saw Yela's almost playful kneading of Su Rui's animal ears, and saw Su Rui's embarrassed, trembling, and even her ear tip unconsciously brushing against Yela's chin—a scene full of "coercion" yet inexplicably carrying a... indescribable, heart-stopping quality— Enya's brown eyes, always filled with gentle moonlight, dimmed almost imperceptibly for a moment.
A subtle, unfamiliar, bittersweet feeling, like a needle pricking the tip of the heart, spread silently from the deepest part of my soul without warning.
She knew that Lady Yela's "temperament" was difficult to fathom, and she also knew that Lady Yela seemed to have some kind of... special attention towards Su Rui. But seeing Yela so "naturally," almost "teasingly," act so intimately towards Su Rui (although Yela's expression didn't reveal any "intimacy," the action itself had already crossed the line), and Su Rui, though embarrassed, didn't show strong resistance (at least, in Enya's view, Su Rui was just enduring, not really struggling violently), even the animal ears that unconsciously brushed against Yela's chin carried a... subtle sense of intimacy, almost dependent (this was definitely Enya's illusion!)...
All of this caused the subtle, indescribable emotions in Enya's heart to ripple like a stone thrown into a lake, spreading out in waves of unease.
Is Su Rui... also so "obedient" to Lady Yela? Does he also show such... indescribable expressions?
This idea, like an uncontrollable vine, quietly took root.
Enya held Ensia Silverash's hand, unconsciously tightening her grip slightly. Her gaze shifted from the "duo" back to her sister's face, trying to draw her attention back to their conversation. But her voice, unconsciously, was a little colder than before, still gentle, but carrying a barely perceptible, even imperceptible, hint of... bitterness.
"... Ensia, what are you looking at?" Enya's voice pulled Ensia Silverash, who was clearly lost in thought, back to reality.
"Ah? No, nothing!" Ensia Silverash quickly looked away, giving her sister a slightly guilty sweet smile as she tried to cover it up. "I just... I just think that Lady Yela and Su Rui have such a good relationship!" She deliberately spoke in an innocent and envious tone, but her bright blue eyes gleamed with a cunning light as she secretly observed her sister's reaction.
Volume 18, Chapter 1239: Enya doesn't seem to admit it.
Feelings... are they really that good?
Enya's heart was pricked again by her sister's unintentional (or perhaps intentional) words, like a fine needle. Her smile froze almost imperceptibly for a moment, but quickly returned to its gentle form. She raised her hand and gently stroked Ensia Silverash's soft golden hair, her voice still gentle, yet seemingly veiled by a very faint, almost imperceptible shadow:
"Lady Yela is an ancient being, and her thoughts are beyond our comprehension. As for Su Rui..." Enya paused, her gaze involuntarily drifting towards Su Rui. Looking at Yela's seemingly tireless fingers still "lingering" on Su Rui's ear and lower back, and Su Rui's face and neck already flushed red, her voice unconsciously carried a subtle, almost imperceptible, tart tone, like aged plum wine. Although she quickly concealed it, Ensia Silverash, who was very close, still keenly caught that fleeting change.
"Su Rui... he was just following Lady Yela's will." Enya finally ended the topic with this seemingly reasonable but inexplicably dry statement. But as she looked away, her gaze quickly swept over Su Rui again, her eyes carrying a complex emotion that even she herself might not be able to fully understand—concern, helplessness, a barely perceptible displeasure akin to "having a toy snatched away," and a hint of... a subtle sourness that she herself didn't want to delve into.
Clearly... Su Rui is hers too. She's the one who stays by her side, listens to her troubles, brings her news from the outside world, clumsily comforts her when she's sad, worries and gets angry when she doesn't come home all night (though it ends with her crouching down with her head in her hands), and risks her life to take her sister up the mountain because of her request... her Su Rui.
