Chapter61

  Fireworks are fleeting, brief and yet absolutely beautiful, leaving only an inexplicable daze. My heart has become a little numb, the corners of my mouth slightly curled up in a self-mocking smile. The New Year is approaching, but this year has been so sad. Thinking back to everything that happened a few months ago, my older sister's indifference, my second sister's meaninglessness, friends drifting away, and everyone's ridicule... Perhaps the only ones who understand her are Senya Nozomi and Lan Xinyue. But Lan Xinyue is in a different class, and Senya Nozomi is the vice president of the student council, so she's very busy and doesn't have much time for her either.

  Is it that the sisterhood they once shared wasn't worth more than a girl they hadn't known for long? Gazing at the fountain in the distance, she felt a pang of melancholy. A month ago, Moyna had told her that Yin Xiu was being used because of something to do with Yin Xi Zhe. Why was this happening? Why did she think there was something going on between her and Yin Xi Zhe? She wanted to vent, but couldn't, and could only silently count her tears in the darkness. But what shocked her even more was that Yin Xiu actually had feelings for her brother Yin Xi Zhe, despite them not being blood-related.

  Silently walking to the wishing pool, looking at many loving couples around, feeling a bit ridiculous. Can coins really make dreams come true? Some sadness, white clothes fluttering in the cold wind. If everything could be replayed, how great would that be.

  She rummaged through her bag, but all she had was a white gold card. She never seemed to have any coins or anything like that. Anyway, she decided to try today, picked up the card and just as she was about to throw it into the pool, her arm was caught by someone's hand.

  "Wishes aren't about the amount of money, but about sincerity." A very familiar voice and a faint scent of mint, Yīn Xī Zhé? She secretly exclaimed in her heart, suddenly turned around, and indeed it was him.

  "What are you doing here? Are you here to mock me?" His expression was somewhat unpleasant, looking at Yin Xizhe who didn't seem to care, and continued: "I'm telling you, I stepped down because of Yin Xiamo, she sings better than me, everything about her is excellent, that's why I quit!" The more he spoke, the more agitated he became, tears bursting out in an instant. Why did he have to bear all the pain?!

  Seeing her tears, Yoon Seok-cheol felt a twinge of heartache and didn't know which nerve was wrong, but he ended up embracing the sobbing Xia Muyun in his arms, softly comforting: "Don't cry, I believe you!" His words were gentle, but his eyes were firm and unwavering. He didn't know why he did this, he just felt that seeing her weak side really hurt his heart.

  He looked up, bewildered. Shouldn't he trust his sister? How could this be? His eyes sparkled with unshed tears, so pitiful and moving. He shook his head, telling himself not to be ridiculous: "Impossible! You're just trying to trick me! It was Yin Xue who told you to come, wasn't it? I don't need your sympathy!" He sniffled like a kitten, weakly pounding on Yin Xue's chest with his delicate fists.

  Lily in the dark night, still so touching, yet so fragile, as if it would disappear inadvertently.

  She let him hit her, suddenly feeling the person in her arms was tired and stopped hitting. She teased with a smile and returned to her usual self: "I'm saying, how long do you want to rely on me? You won't really fall in love with me, will you? Then take advantage of eating my tofu... Hmm, I didn't expect that. Eh, why are you so fierce? Don't tell me you want to rape a pure and innocent little boy!!" She loudly exaggerated, attracting the attention of people around her.

  Xia Mo Yun's face slightly flushed, she didn't know when her strength had become so great, grabbing Yin Xizhe's ear and scolding in a fierce tone: "I'm telling you, stop spouting nonsense!"

  But little did he know that his actions at this time were so ambiguous, causing everyone's discussion and debate.

  "Wow, I'm so envious! How lovely they are!"

  "Yes, dear husband, it's just like our old times! I really wish we could go back to the past."

  "I didn't want to." But in the end, I got hit.

  The two looked at each other, smiled helplessly, and Yin Xizhe gently took Xia Moyun's hand and placed it on his chest. He tossed a coin into the wishing pool and told Xia Moyun to close her eyes, doing so himself as well, making a wish for their shared desire.

  You silly girl, I've discovered that I've fallen in love with you... From now on, let me be the one to protect you instead...

  The starry sky remains silent...
