Chapter 6 Big Sister Does Her Duty

  This evening, Zhong Chun was particularly restless and couldn't sleep no matter how hard he tried. In his mind, the images of him kept rotating like a carousel, replaying over and over again. For some reason, Zhong Chun suddenly missed him so much! He fell deep into memories. Anyway, Zhong Chun got sucked in completely, pulled by an invisible hand into the whirlpool of memories, rising and falling with each wave. "Ah, it's unbearable!" It felt like a pile of stones was blocking his chest, making him feel suffocated and painful. His throat seemed to be stuck too, leaving him gasping for air until dawn. Wiping away the sweat on his forehead, Zhong Chun felt helpless. Luckily it was Saturday, otherwise he would have been scolded to death by Wang Lei and Lu Lan if he went to school with these two dark circles under his eyes! Zhong Chun rubbed his eyebrows, thinking that he should go talk to Bai Lidi about this.

  Here is the translation:

  As for Zhong Chun, the servants in Bai Li Yue's house were still very polite, and every time they would say a sentence: "Miss Zhong Chun is good!" And every time, there would be a small sense of pride rising from the bottom of her heart, and last night's gloomy clouds would also be washed away. Every time she was troubled, she would find Bai Li Yue, which was a habit that Zhong Chun had developed since childhood. And every time she came out of Bai Li Yue's house, she would feel more comfortable in her heart.

  With a smile, Zhong Chun walked up to the second floor, her target - Bai Li Yue's bedroom. The door was slightly ajar, and Zhong Chun raised her hand to knock on it. "Sorry, I thought anyone could come in except you. But now..." Suddenly, she accidentally touched the door with her hand.

  Zhong Chun felt embarrassed. "Who is outside?!" A cold and piercing voice, Zhong Chun had never heard Bai Li Yue speak to her like that before. The door was opened by someone inside, and what entered her line of sight was a face covered in powder - it was Lu Lan. Blinking twice, Zhong Chun indicated that she was innocent: "I just arrived, I didn't intentionally eavesdrop on your conversation."

  Lu Lan glared at Zhong Chun fiercely, then turned around and walked away, leaving behind a slender figure. Lu Lan's eyes were red, and it looked like she had just cried. But the feeling seemed to be more like shyness.

  Zhong Chun was deep in thought, completely unaware that Bai Li Yue had called her three times already. It wasn't until their eyes met that Zhong Chun immediately flashed into the room and closed the door behind her. With a big smile on her face, she said: "Don't be so serious, it's not like I'm going to hurt you."

  Bai Li Yue looked at her with a gaze that seemed to be about to spit fire, and Zhong Chun quickly changed her expression. "Come on, give me a normal expression, this one is too perverted." "You're smiling at me, but you're still picking faults? Next time I'll just cry in front of you, how annoying!"

  "...". Seeing that Bai Li Yue was still thin but looked okay, Zhong Chun started to banter with her. "What's wrong, what happened this time?" Knowing she couldn't win against Zhong Chun, Bai Li Yue surrendered and sat down on the bed.

  Zhong Chun picked up an apple and started peeling it while talking: "I just came to visit you, why are you being so cold? It's like I'm that mischievous monkey who always causes trouble, and you're that Taishang Laojun who always looks down on me..." "Stop! Zhong Chun, do you have a point or not? Hurry up and say it, then get out of here!"

  Zhong Chun felt a bit wronged: "Can't I even talk about something?" While talking, she finished peeling the apple and handed it to Bai Li Yue. "I dreamed about Ye Xuan." As soon as she mentioned those two words, Zhong Chun suddenly felt a pang in her heart, and her eyes seemed to be like two green oranges that had been poked.

  A wave of sourness surged up against her eyelids, and it was both sour and painful. "Sister, I'm uncomfortable, sister!" She flung herself into Bai Li Yue's arms, and the emotions that were about to erupt suddenly found a place to belong and slowly calmed down. Bai Li Yue gently patted Zhong Chun's back with her hand.

  This gentle gesture was like that of an older sister. If those flies saw it, they would definitely go crazy. "Why did you suddenly think of Ye Xuan?" "I don't know, I just saw Jiang Tian and Wang Lei chatting during class, and Lu Lan was arguing with a boy... and then I thought of her." "You were stimulated." "Stimulated? Who dares to stimulate me? Watch me not kill him!"

  Zhong Chun made a fist and demonstrated her ferocity. "...". Bai Li Yue expressed her sincere admiration for Zhong Chun's foolishness. "Can't you just grow up, Zhong Chun? I really can't stand it anymore!" "Bai Cangqiu! I came to consult with you, not to be mocked! I'm not in the mood to joke around now."

  "You and Ye Xuan have been together since childhood, every day is spent together, and Ye Xuan always gives in to you and spoils you. Your relationship is as close as conjoined twins. Even your daily habits are clearer to Ye Xuan than to your parents. Two years ago when Ye Xuan went abroad for further studies, you were so heartbroken that you couldn't sleep for a whole week! After seeing the doctor, you finally stopped having insomnia. But then you couldn't live independently anymore, and before it was always Ye Xuan who took care of you. When he left, he took your daily habits with him, and your parents could only call Ye Xuan every day to ask about you. It took half a year for you to adapt. The one thing that didn't change was that whenever you thought of Ye Xuan, you would cry. But you almost always thought of him several times a day, and later on, you finally learned to bear it. As time passed, not only did the frequency of thinking about Ye Xuan decrease, but you also stopped crying. Every time you thought of him, you could even smile and say: "Anyway, we have contact, just make a phone call." But now this situation is completely stimulating.

  Bai Li Yue looked at Zhong Chun, who still had a confused expression on his face, clearly having cried recently. He let out a deep sigh, with a hint of frustration: "I was wrong to expect you to understand! Let me make it clear! Zhe Tian and Wang Lei are childhood friends, their nostalgic conversations stimulated your memories of Ye Xuan. Lu Lan's argument with the boy made you think of your past interactions with Ye Xuan. So you felt envious, jealous, and resentful. And then you felt lonely and empty. Why don't you call him and chat for a bit? Dispel your loneliness and emptiness, it will pass eventually."

  Zhong Chun blinked his eyes, clearly taken aback by Bai Li Yue's words. The unpleasant feeling in his heart seemed to dissipate a lot, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Indeed, it's a magic cure! Unfortunately, it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. And it's not convenient to carry around, huh. Every time I come horizontally and go vertically, I'm reborn!"

  Bai Li Yue was amused by Zhong Chun's words, his eyebrows curved upwards, and even Zhong Chun's heart skipped a beat: "You're so talkative!"

  Zhong Chun stood up, simply tidied up his clothes, and exchanged a few pleasantries with Bai Li Yue before walking away feeling refreshed. Completely unaware that since mentioning Lu Lan, Bai Li Yue seemed somewhat uncomfortable."
