“I know you’re under a lot of pressure. How about I face that pressure with you? If you don’t think I’m qualified to face it, then I won’t get involved in this matter anymore.”

After a struggle, Lily decided that it was better to put so much pressure on the other person than to put so much pressure on them.

It would be better to ask the other party to resolve the issue first, so that the sisters can have a proper discussion.

"Alright, you are still my sister after all, and there are some things you said that I definitely can't refute."

The little girl sat on the chair, swinging her legs. She didn't say anything else. Feng Tianci looked at Baihe, and Baihe's meaning was already very clear.

She didn't want her younger sister to sacrifice herself; she was the family he recognized in the world.

Baihe followed Feng Tianci out only after the little girl fell asleep.

He was out of danger, but he felt he should still go back.

Those parents were incredibly cruel. He knew his sister had suffered a lot, so he went back this time to solve her problems.

“I know you’re worried about my safety and don’t want me to be in danger, but some things always need to be done by someone else. If I run away, then my sister won’t be able to escape either. I’m sorry, I may have to let you down.”

He lowered his head, looking extremely sad. After thinking it over, Feng Tianci realized that the other party hadn't actually done anything wrong; he was just trying to protect his sister's safety.

"Then when are you leaving?"

"Let's do it tomorrow. Didn't he say his poison was about to expire? And he'd be facing questions from his family. If that's the case, then we should do it sooner. I won't let anything happen to him."

The little girl stood by the window. She wasn't actually asleep; she was listening to Feng Tianci and her sister talking. She knew that she was doing that only to save her own life.

But now, hearing her sister say this, she felt guilty. How could she be so cruel to her sister?

She shouldn't have spoken to her sister like that; her sister had never done anything wrong.

He used to think that he could do anything to survive, but now he doesn't want to do that anymore.

"I've been a puppet my whole life, but now I can choose my own destiny."

The little girl muttered to herself, and he returned to his original seat, glancing outside.

Lily pushed open the door and saw her sister sitting there without saying a word.

And she didn't intend to have much of a conversation with him. He sighed helplessly, knowing his sister would react this way.

"You don't need to feel sad. If you really feel guilty, then think about the freedom you want to gain later."

The food for the day was laid out in front of them. The little girl only ate two peanuts because she couldn't eat more.

If he eats too much, his body will swell and he will grow into the shape of an adult, which will be extremely painful.

After finishing their meal, the two sisters lay down on one bed and talked about everything they had experienced over the years.

Lily originally thought she had suffered enough, but after hearing about her sister's experiences, she suddenly felt particularly sorry for the little girl in front of her.

He originally thought that since the other person was staying with their parents, nothing would happen to them.

But after listening, he realized that all of their problems were caused by their irresponsible parents. If it weren't for them, they might never have had this experience.

"Sister, you've had a hard life too. You stayed in that carefree valley for so long and never came out. You must have longed for the scenery outside, but you couldn't see it. It's all my fault for taking everything from you. If it weren't for me, perhaps you would have lived a very happy life."

Hearing her sister say that, Lily patted his hand.

"Don't say that. If it weren't for you, I would have taken your place and lived such a hard life. Actually, neither of us should envy the other. Our lives aren't very good either."

They smiled at each other, letting go of their mutual resentment, because they both knew that their lives were bitter, and what good could come from two bitter gourds embracing each other?

As dawn approached, Lily finally woke up. Today, she was going back home with her younger sister and also to see her family.

He had never imagined that his family members would exist in this world.

He wanted to see just how heartless his parents were to do such a thing.

But when he woke up, he didn't see anyone beside him, and the little girl who used to always watch over him wasn't there today.

He instinctively got up, wanting to look for someone nearby, but even after getting up and searching the yard, he still couldn't find anyone.

Mei Jinfeng noticed that he seemed to be looking for something and asked him a question.

"Are you looking for something?"

"Where did my sister go?"

“The little girl went out early this morning, saying she was going to buy breakfast, and she’s been gone for half an hour already. She probably didn’t want you to go out to buy breakfast.”

Lily's heart skipped a beat. She knew the other person wasn't going out to buy breakfast, but had devised another way to escape from her, thus freeing her from her predetermined fate.

No, if my sister leaves, she will definitely fall into the hands of that heartless couple.

It couldn't possibly be anything good, so he chased after it like a madman.

Mei Jinfeng realized the problem and was about to go find him when Feng Tianci stopped him.

"Mother-in-law, you wait at home first. I'll go out and see what's wrong. I'll definitely catch up with him. I can handle whatever the problem is, so don't worry."

"Then remember to resolve it. If there's anything you can't handle, remember to let me know."

He was so anxious he was pacing around in circles, not knowing what to do. Feng Tianci chased after him and grabbed Baihe.

“I’ll go with you to look for him. You definitely won’t find him by yourself. He must have had ulterior motives, wanting you to live a good life while he himself fell into that trap.”

At this moment, a little girl was standing at the entrance of the village. She had actually decided last night that with such a good older sister, she could briefly experience what family affection felt like, and she had already experienced it.

It was so wonderful. He didn't want to drag his sister into this quagmire, so he was determined to die. What was death anyway?

He used to be terrified, but now he's not. (End of Chapter)
