65: save5 A Bright Future
Clad in black, Lu Yanyan appeared out of place in the pale white funeral parlor. She silently placed an old-fashioned clock in front of her parents' coffins, wordlessly signifying her stance.
At her parents' funeral, the sixteen-year-old Lu Yanyan did not cry.
But at that time, Lu Lele was only six years old, and she cried her face full of tears, constantly asking where Mom and Dad had gone.
This dealt a heavy blow to Lu Yanyan's heart.
Lu Yanyan had originally planned to follow that girl after the funeral, but seeing her biological sister sobbing uncontrollably, she changed her mind.
If there was anyone in this world Lu Yanyan cared about besides that girl, it was only Lu Lele left.
Lu Yanyan felt very guilty.
Lu Yanyan felt she had let Lu Lele down. No matter what, this six-year-old little girl had forever lost her parents and could no longer act spoiled toward Mom and Dad.
Almost identical blood flowed in their veins.
Setting aside Lu Yanyan, in this world, the little girl only had her grandmother as a relative. And her grandmother was advanced in years; who knew when she might pass away.
So Lu Yanyan decided to live on, to atone for her sister.
She decided to assume her parents' role and fill the void of what Lu Lele lacked. For this, Lu Yanyan worked hard to make herself powerful. Only this way could she protect Lu Lele from harm.
Eight years passed. Lu Yanyan undoubtedly achieved this. She became incomparably powerful, a renowned figure throughout all of Tangerine City.
However, accompanying Lu Lele's growth, Lu Yanyan gradually produced a thought that almost inevitably arises in guardians. That was wanting Lu Lele to become the person she expected, to live the life she expected.
She certainly gave Lu Lele almost unlimited freedom and basically didn't manage Lu Lele's life, but deep in her heart, she still longed for Lu Lele to grow up talented and become a strong person like herself.
Unknowingly, Lu Yanyan turned into the very appearance she hated most in the past. She was surprised yet firmly rejecting her biological sister's love, simply because she felt this love was absurd and absolutely wouldn't have a good result.
What difference was there between this and her parents in the past?
And now, Lu Yanyan recalled her original intention.
Lu Yanyan's only wish from start to finish was just to let Lu Lele grow up safely, happily, and joyously. Nothing else was important.
Even if her sister's romance didn't have a good result, so what?
As long as she was still alive, Lu Lele wouldn't be bullied.
If her sister really liked that girl named Liu Lili so much, then let them be.
All difficulties and troubles encountered would be solved by her.
As long as Lu Lele lived happily and joyously, that was fine.
She didn't want to see her sister wielding a knife to hurt herself anymore.
Lu Yanyan felt relieved at this moment. Perhaps she really doted on her sister too much, but so what?
Looking at the smile brimming on the corner of Lu Lele's mouth, Lu Yanyan felt satisfied.
Meanwhile, Lu Lele, who knew nothing of her sister's inner thoughts, was very happy.
Because the needs of her yandere instinct were completely satisfied, Lu Lele at this moment lost her morbidity and was left only with her tenderness. She very obediently let her sister stroke her, even actively snuggling into Lu Yanyan's arms, rubbing against her like a kitten.
Her brain was full of the fact that her sister had already agreed to her being with Liu Lili. In Lu Lele's eyes, her sister's agreement represented that from now on, her love with Liu Lili would have no more obstacles, and also symbolized her thorough victory.
This time, she would definitely welcome a Perfect Ending with Liu Lili.
Lu Lele thought with full confidence.
Just like that, a little while passed.
Lu Yanyan suddenly seemed to remember something and stopped the movements of her hand.
Then, Lu Yanyan held up her biological sister's cheeks and said seriously:
"Although I agree to you being with Liu Lili, however, my sister actually using your own life as a bargaining chip to threaten my agreement makes me very disappointed and also very sad."
"Lele, I don't allow anyone to hurt you, even yourself is not allowed."
Lu Lele nodded obediently, then whined:
"Sorry..."
"Whining at me is useless though."
Lu Yanyan gently pinched Lu Lele's cheek and said:
"Originally I wanted to punish you severely, but with your current injured look, you probably can't withstand any corporal punishment."
Hearing this, Lu Lele couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She still remembered those corporal punishments from Lu Yanyan in the last attempt vividly. Lu Lele really didn't want to experience them again no matter what.
"Then, let's change the method."
Lu Yanyan thought for a little while, then said:
"Great Sister, Lele knows she was wrong, absolutely won't do stupid things to hurt herself anymore. Repeat this sentence one hundred times. This is the price you need to pay for your impulse today, Lele."
Why is it also one hundred times with Lu Yanyan...
Lu Lele complained in her heart, then tilted her head to ask:
"Huh? Sister, didn't you say you didn't like me calling you Great Sister?"
Lu Yanyan didn't answer directly, but released a strong aura:
"I tell you to say it, so you say it."
Lu Lele continued tilting her head to ask:
"What if I don't say it?"
Lu Yanyan threatened viciously:
"If you don't say it, if you don't say it, I'll pinch your little face until it rots."
"Okay okay, I got it."
Now Lu Lele was in a very good mood and didn't mind stooping to please Lu Yanyan.
She deliberately burrowed into her sister's arms, looking up at Lu Yanyan with sparkling eyes at a forty-five degree angle, then squeezed her voice, intentionally using a little girl's thin and soft tone to act spoiled:
"Great Sister, Lele knows she was wrong~ absolutely won't do stupid things to hurt herself anymore~ Great Sister please forgive Lele okay~"
"Why did you add words on your own?"
"Huh? Doesn't Great Sister like it?"
"...It's not that I don't like it. Continue. There are still ninety-nine times left."
As a result, Lu Lele hadn't even said it a few times when Lu Yanyan's expression couldn't hold anymore. Without a word, she picked up Lu Lele and threw her onto the bed to the side.
"Cough... alright, let's stop here for now. The remaining times can be paid back later when there's a chance."
Lu Yanyan said this, but the red blush emerging on her face had already betrayed her.
Obviously, she couldn't resist Lu Lele's cuteness offensive and was almost melted by her biological sister.
In order to maintain her cold image, Lu Yanyan decided that of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, fleeing was the best option, leaving the space for her sister and her little lover.
Lu Lele continued tilting her head to ask:
"Huh? But that was only said a few times just now?"
"I still have a meeting at the company this afternoon. Leaving first."
After leaving this sentence, Lu Yanyan quickly left.
After seeing off her biological sister, Lu Lele let out a long breath of relief, then laughed unbridledly and incomparably happily.
The road ahead seemed infinitely bright. With her sister's support plus Liu Lili's high affection, the advantage was definitely on her side.
Lu Lele didn't even know how she could lose.
