Chapter 272: Sister, Come Comfort Me
What is a lover?
A sociologist says, "A lover is a beloved in a non-marital relationship."
A linguist says, "A lover refers to deeply affectionate individuals, specifically men and women who love each other."
A psychologist states, "The desire for a lover is an innate human instinct, a very normal psychology that stems from the principle of attraction between the sexes."
A lover embodies beauty, serves as a source of happiness, provides a place to release emotional pressure, and acts as a station to express longing and escape pain.
Perhaps a lover is not just one person but a perfect emotional space, a moonlit boat that comforts the soul, a cool evening breeze on a summer night, or a sincere concern that slips out unintentionally. If there is such a person who comforts you in your pain, gives you confidence in your confusion, offers you courage in your disappointment, and holds you close in your loneliness, would you refuse?
—I also want to be your lover!
That woman stood quietly in the shadow of the trees, allowing tears to flow down her face like a small river.
After a moment, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and silently turned to walk out of the community.
Beside her was another woman who linked her arm and softly said, "Xingxing, why do you have to come here to see him? Look at this; you've only brought yourself unnecessary heartache. You know Xiao Yun has always had many women around him!"
Han Xing leaned on Liu Ziyan's shoulder and choked out, "I just couldn't bear to part with him; that's why I came to see him before leaving. I know he has many women, but usually, I don't care at all. Why is it that when I'm about to leave him, my heart feels particularly..."
"Alright now, it's almost time. Camel is still waiting for us; let's head to the airport!" Liu Ziyan sighed lightly, understandingly patting her back and speaking softly.
"Sister-in-law..."
"Don't say anything, let's go!"
"But I'm not willing to, even if it's just to be with him..."
Liu Ziyan quietly watched her infatuated sister-in-law, feeling a pang of sadness. She understood the unspoken words: even if it was just for one night, even if it was just to quietly nestle in his arms...
"Xingxing, I understand what you mean. I know you're attached to him, but if that's the case, can he let us go? You should know that your brother's Star Manor is waiting for us."
"I know..." Han Xing was at a loss for words.
From the first time Camel brought Xiao Yun to meet her, she had never taken him seriously, even responding coldly. It wasn't until he single-handedly fought off ten men in Phoenix City, sending the Black Bull gang scurrying away, and she saw her sister-in-law appear from the wheelchair and learned that he was the one who had healed her, that he began to occupy an important place in her heart.
She started to pay attention to him, began to like him, love him... but all of this felt like a dream, waking up from it felt like returning from another world.
"Are we really leaving him like this?"
"Life is like a passerby; perhaps our acquaintance with him is just a fleeting glance as we brush past each other. Xingxing, let's go..."
...
Inside the room, Nie Xiaoqian never expected that her joking remark would hurt another woman's heart outside—no, two hearts, including Liu Ziyan's.
The difference was that while Han Xing's tears flowed down her face, Liu Ziyan's were shed in her heart!
Xiao Yun also had no idea that two women outside were shedding tears for him, quietly parting from his side...
"Nie Xiaoqian, this joke shouldn't be made. Don't let someone be so pleased that they can't sleep at night and end up growing a tail from behind!"
"..."
Xiao Yun felt that the atmosphere tonight was off; it seemed like everyone was trying to make things difficult for him.
"Do they think I'm a monkey with a tail?"
...
In the dead of night, Xiao Yun had practiced in his bedroom and was about to rest when An Yiran knocked and entered.
Xiao Yun was taken aback and asked, "Sister Yiran, why are you still awake at this hour?"
"I need to talk to you," An Yiran said as she sat across from him. "I just dropped Uncle and Auntie off at their place. They told me about this morning's incident—Hong Qichang kidnapped Auntie, and I heard it involves Cheng Hu and Red Sister. What exactly is going on?"
"Sister Yiran, you're very busy with work right now; maybe it's best not to inquire about this matter!" Xiao Yun replied with a calm smile.
An Yiran looked somewhat angry and said, "Xiao Yun, what are you talking about? Since we live under the same roof, I have the right to know the truth."
Xiao Yun sighed and smiled helplessly. "I'm just worried about you getting distracted. Alright, don’t be mad. I'll tell you—it’s just that Red Sister and Cheng Hu stole a form of identification from Hong Qichang!"
"A form of identification causing such a big issue? That sounds exaggerated," An Yiran clearly didn't believe him.
Xiao Yun took out the Blood Curse Gate Card from his Spiritual Sense ring and handed it to her.
"Blood Curse Gate?" An Yiran's expression changed.
Xiao Yun asked, "Do you know about Blood Curse Gate?"
Instead of answering directly, An Yiran said with a serious face, "Xiao Yun, you should tell me everything about how Hong Qichang kidnapped Auntie from start to finish!"
"Oh!"
Xiao Yun recounted how he had come to seek help from Red Sister, how he discovered the card she had dropped, and how he and Cheng Hu were sent to Panlong Mountain, along with everything that had happened that morning.
"This is how it all went down," Xiao Yun said. "Tomorrow, I still need to help Lu Jiutang rescue his daughter from Bai Man."
"Sigh," An Yiran said, looking at Xiao Yun with concern. "Xiao Yun, I don't know what kind of organization the Shadow Empire is, but I know your current situation is very dangerous. If something were to happen to you, how would I explain it to Grandpa Duan?"
As she spoke, her eyes began to well up with tears.
Xiao Yun was touched by her concern and replied, "Sister Yiran, it's okay. I'm someone who has always been blessed with good fortune. Besides, even if I were to meet with some unfortunate fate, just knowing you beautiful ladies is enough for me..."
"Bah bah bah! What do you mean by meeting an unfortunate fate? Stop talking nonsense and give yourself a slap in the face! Spit on the ground!" An Yiran exclaimed urgently, glaring at him.
When women are in a panic, they can display a certain charm, especially someone as stunning as An Yiran, who instantly radiated allure and charisma.
Xiao Yun stared blankly for a moment, looking somewhat foolish.
"Where are your eyes looking?" An Yiran noticed him staring intently at a certain part of her body, and her face immediately flushed red, her eyes sparkling.
"Oh..." Xiao Yun came back to his senses and thick-skinnedly smiled. "I just realized that Sister Yiran looks really beautiful today!"
Upon hearing this, An Yiran became annoyed. How could he say such a thing? Did he think she wasn't beautiful usually?
"Give yourself a slap!" Shyly embarrassed, An Yiran still remembered his ominous words.
Xiao Yun leaned closer to her and grinned playfully. "Sister Yiran, why don't you just hit me? Make it a good one; I like having an older sister who cares for me!"
Dizzy!
An Yiran was immediately left speechless.
"Come by yourself."
"No, I want my sister to come..."
"By yourself..."
"Sister, hurry and come comfort me!"
An Yiran almost fainted; this kid was actually acting spoiled towards her.
If he wanted to act spoiled, so be it, but this annoying guy suddenly leaped into her arms, pressing against her soft chest.
"Xiao Yun, don't do that..." An Yiran gritted her teeth and pushed him away with all her strength.
"Sister Yiran..." Xiao Yun seemed a bit unwilling. After finally getting into her embrace and wanting to take advantage of the situation, he was pushed away and felt incredibly disappointed.
An Yiran tidied up a strand of hair that had fallen onto her forehead and said, "You have important matters tomorrow; stop causing trouble. I need to rest too!"
"Sister Yiran, wait!" Just as An Yiran was about to leave Xiao Yun's bedroom, she felt one of his hands grab her from behind.
"What is it?" Her expression suddenly turned exceptionally cold. The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
