All the goddesses in the world are lusting after my body.

She smiled sweetly, like the moon shining brightly after the clouds parted, revealing a small tiger tooth that looked like a crescent moon.

For the first time, it wasn't to please anyone; I was simply captivated by the beautiful ending of the story, smiling wistfully.

Imagine yourself as George the giant tortoise who crawls into the puddle, imagining the warm sunshine shining on your shell, breathing gently and smelling the sea breeze, flapping your ears and hearing the cries of seagulls...

"I've finished my homework too! Jiangjiang, check it quickly, is it a perfect score!"

Jiang Tang glanced at it briefly from top to bottom and nodded.

"Hmm, not bad."

So Mu Yuqing eagerly awaited her arrival.

Her large, watery eyes stared upwards at Jiang Tang.

As a result, the latter was completely oblivious. Mu Yuqing's neck ached, and she angrily punched Jiang Tang's chest with her little fists.

"You rascal Jiang Jiang! I want a reward too!"

Mu Yunyi lowered his eyes, flattered and surprised, his pupils trembling.

After her sister's outburst, she realized that she had been enjoying Jiang Gege's tenderness and...rewards all to herself.

My heart is pounding, I'm clearly nervous, but why does my body feel warm?

These don't seem like symptoms of an attack. When an attack occurs, one's body should be stiff and cold...

Why is that?

"Then, I'll reward you with a box of chocolate bars?"

"Using someone else's snacks as a reward! How could you do such a thing! You stinky Jiang Jiang!"

“Okay…” Jiang Tang suddenly grabbed Mu Yuqing’s wrist, then whispered in her ear in a tone that Yun Yi couldn’t hear.

"The kind of reward you want, I'll make it up to you properly when I come back from my walk with Yunyi later."

Mu Yuqing's cheeks suddenly flushed red, and for some reason, her legs suddenly tightened and trembled slightly.

She couldn't speak, but nodded shyly.

"Um……"

Mu Yunyi looked puzzled, unaware of what her brother and sister were whispering about.

Jiang Tang's gaze remained calm and profound, like a still pool or a piece of jade.

The scenery is devoid of emotion, the objects are devoid of feeling, and the people...

"That's all for today's practice. I was in a rush to leave today, but I'll bring you my first-year high school study notes next time."

"Mmm!" Mu Yuqing nodded happily, like a pet that had received a reward.

Then she looked at her younger sister.

"Listen to me, go for a walk with your brother."

“…Yes.” Mu Yunyi naturally wouldn’t expose her sister’s lie, but at the same time, a strange expectation also sprouted in her heart.

"Oh right, Yunyi, wear this~"

"Mu Yuqing—" Jiang Tang warned coldly.

But she just stuck out her tongue and continued to do as she pleased, and as a result, Mu Yunyi didn't know how to refuse her older sister at all.

She was bewildered when a black leather choker was placed on her neck, locking it in place.

The front of the collar also features a sensual, dangling metal chain.

It can be held firmly by the person accompanying you...

015 People on the Stars

Mu Yunyi doesn't understand at all~

Moreover, the black choker, paired with her white dress, gave her the air of a silent, imprisoned angel.

Her lips were always tightly closed, as if that would allow her to endure more loneliness and pain.

"Sister...sister..."

"Don't be shy, Yunyi looks really cute like this!"

"cute?"

"Hmm, why don't we let Jiangjiang give her the evaluation!"

"Jiang Jiang! Turn around! I've never seen you shy towards me before, you hypocrite~"

Jiang Tang put his hands in his pockets, pretending not to hear.

Then suddenly my arm felt soft, as if something had wrapped around it.

It was Mu Yunyi's hand...

She was led by her sister to Jiang Tang's side, keeping her head down the whole time, and then, under her sister's guidance, she took Jiang Tang's arm.

"Hold on tight, so you don't get lost."

"Um... thank you, sister."

Jiang Tang felt like he was taking care of a child, so of course he wouldn't develop any special feelings for Mu Yunyi.

He would never do that to other women either.

Mu Yuqing saw the two of them to the door before reluctantly leaving.

The excuse about playing games was just that—an excuse. She wasn't in the mood for it. She went to the living room, tossed the game controller from the sofa onto the coffee table, and pounced on the soft sofa, looking completely relaxed.

After a while, she changed her position, picked up a cushion from the sofa, squinted her eyes, and pretended to sleep.

In the living room where she was left alone, darkness and emptiness enveloped her.

Mu Yuqing hugged herself tightly, her breathing becoming rapid.

Her slender hand couldn't help but move downwards, then stopped...

"What an idiot."

What have I done...?

Jiang Tang's gentle yet cold demeanor, his handsome face, and his sister's clumsy smile kept flashing through my mind.

The two kinds of liking are superimposed.

Shouldn't something called "happiness" have come into being?

But why do I feel resentful and regretful?

It was not yet evening, and the sunlight was slanting.

The city's hustle and bustle continues, but the upscale neighborhoods in the city center remain peaceful and tranquil.

Jiang Tang strolled leisurely, his outstanding demeanor making it impossible for anyone to tell that he actually came from the suburbs outside the city's third ring road. Instead, it gave the impression that this was his own backyard.

The obedient Yunyi was only focused on looking at the ground; if it weren't for holding Jiang Tang's hand...

She could very well get lost in the intricate neighborhood landscape.

Here you'll find the best mountains and water in the city center, the most expensive land, and the most comfortable buildings.

The way the two got along was always with Jiang Tang talking and speaking gently, while Yun Yi listened obediently.

"Every time lovers think of each other, a grain of sand falls from the sky, and that's how the Sahara was formed."

"……Really?"

"Of course not. There are five factors that contributed to the formation of the Sahara: location, air pressure, wind, topography, and ocean currents. None of them can be missing. We talked about them today."

Mu Yunyi didn't feel like she was being tricked at all; instead, she laughed.

"But I still prefer the idea that human emotions can move mountains and seas. What about you, Yunyi?"

"I...like it too."

Who do you like?

“Hmm…!” Mu Yunyi suddenly froze.

Brother Jiang doesn't play by the rules at all!

Or perhaps, this is just a routine.

If it were any other girl, she would probably just laugh it off, or a slightly more outgoing one would try to charm Jiang Tang.

However, Mu Yunyi had too little experience communicating with people, which made her mistakenly believe that she had to answer whatever the other person asked her.

"I like...my sister, my dad...and my mom."

Mu Yunyi's eyes dimmed.

The people she loves, more or less, have all driven her to this state.

"Mom? I'm sorry, I didn't see any trace of the lady of the house in your home. Your mother, he..."

"..."

"If you feel offended, it's okay not to reply."

Jiang Tang tactfully changed the subject; he was very good at coaxing women.

Anyone can become a Casanova as long as they don't invest their true feelings.

Just as he was talking about the poetry and distant places that the girl was interested in, Mu Yunyi's voice came weakly.

"My mother... passed away because of me..."

From the girl's perspective, it seemed as if the whole world had suddenly turned gray, because she was lost in memories, and the whole world was silent.

Mu Yunyi knows...

The neglect from my father and the dislike and bullying from my sister during my childhood were all because my mother left.
