She felt for Big Brother. She had always felt for him. Why did he have to bear everything? All he wanted was for those around him to live a little better.
When an old friend fell ill, he learned medicine and then gave aid throughout the region, only to incur others' jealousy and hatred.
When neighbors died of illness, he scattered his entire fortune to help... asking for nothing in return. Later, when he opened a small shop, others grew envious and reported him, yet he never became bitter toward the world.
There was far too much of it. Perhaps it was pathetic, foolish, even laughable, but in He Ling's eyes, she simply felt for everything Big Brother had gone through along the way, with nothing else mixed in.
Sometimes, she truly wished Big Brother could be a little more selfish, yet she understood him too and silently supported him from the bottom of her heart.
Even if the so-called Chen Xun truly descended into madness, their family would stand at his side without hesitation. If Chen Xun killed, then they would set fires. There was no reason needed.
Even if the people of the world reviled them and all living beings abandoned them, they would never change!
Beneath the moonlit night sky.
Little Crane wore a face full of grievance, her lips trembling as a crystalline teardrop fell onto Chen Xun's face.
Chen Xun groggily opened his eyes. One hand gently brushed across Little Crane's cheek as he softly said, "Third Sister, it's all right. Big Brother and Second Brother have merely been too tired these past years. We had to rest for a while."
He Ling bit her red lips tightly and nodded without a sound, her gaze never leaving them for even a moment.
"Little lass, hehe."
