Chapter 1569 - 1565: Sister's Comfort

This was the speech Ye Zhi found after much difficulty, and when she uttered it, a sharp pain like a knife cutting through surged within her heart.

A certain feeling that existed deep within her heart, gave rise to this pain. She liked her brother Ye Qiu, and at this moment Naoya felt this strong emotion.

——Ye Zhi knew she couldn't lie to herself anymore.

Naoya supported Ye Qiu, helping him slowly lie flat on the bed. She covered him with a blanket while gently caressing his body.

She didn't know how many times she had gently stroked him, but Ye Qiu's sobbing turned into sounds of sleep. Naoya closed her eyes, quietly whispering to herself within her heart.

——Ye Zhi could only choose to give up. To deeply bury this feeling into her heart.

Because Ye Qiu's heart was already someone else's.

Large teardrops rolled down Naoya's cheeks, landing on the sheet and quickly disappearing.

The sweetness and softness brought warmth to the sleeping Ye Qiu.

Before waking up, his heart was filled with a very gentle floating sensation. Just like sunlight filtering through the branches of the woods, gently caressing his cheeks.

Ye Qiu, with closed eyes, hugged the sleeping her beside him. He could truly feel her breath, so Ye Qiu slightly opened his eyes——.

"Whoa!?"

A shout escaped from his throat, while simultaneously retreating fifty centimeters. His body seemed to have springs as he sat up and began to look around.

This was the scene he had always seen in his dreams--------not really. This was Ye Qiu's room in this world, on Ye Qiu's bed, but beside himself, there was still another person.

Ye Qiu, speechless, covered himself with the blanket again. Soon he lay down again, as drowsiness was long gone, so Ye Qiu once more lifted the blanket. Black short hair, striking eyebrows, Naoya in pajamas, was sleeping soundly on his pillow.

Naoya is the sister of Ye Qiu in this world,

"What, what's going on here"

Ye Qiu, after carefully thinking for a bit, finally recalled what happened last night. Right——last night, after returning from the hospital, it seemed like he talked to Naoya. Naoya comforted him as he was in despair, shedding tears of pain.

Later, Ye Qiu fell asleep like that.

"Really, like a child."

Clearly, in this world, he was the brother of the girl in front of him, yet he ended up doing something like this.

After a period of embarrassment, Ye Qiu looked again at Naoya's sleeping face. She didn't have to go to such lengths.

Thinking of this, it seemed that in that other world, something similar happened as well. In that world, he met a girl who was very similar to Naoya. She also once crawled into his bed to sleep, which had also troubled Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu smiled as he thought about these things. Even though matters related to Fang Wushang and Long Yijian still weighed heavily on him, the wrenching pain from last night seemed to have dissipated in one night.

In that world——various memories were critically important treasures for Ye Qiu. There were countless happy and sad events, but all of them were real memories.

Ye Qiu can't belittle himself. Because he agreed with Fang Wushang. To reunite in this world again. There must be things that he can still accomplish.

While Ye Qiu was thinking this, Naoya's sleep talk reached his ears.

"Giving up is not allowed."

"Yeah, you're right about that."

Ye Qiu softly replied. Then he sat up and poked Naoya's face with his finger.

"Hey, wake up. It's already morning."

"Ugh."

Naoya grumbled with dissatisfaction. This time Ye Qiu grabbed Naoya's cheeks hidden in the blanket and pulled them sideways.

"Get up. It's already late."

"Ugh"

Naoya finally opened her eyes.

"Ah, good morning, brother."

She said lazily, getting up.

Then she looked at Ye Qiu's face with surprise and began to glance around the room. Her sleepy eyes suddenly opened wide, while a blush appeared on her cheeks.

"Ah, that, I."

Naoya's ears turned beet red as her mouth opened and closed repeatedly, stiffly sitting there before suddenly jumping up with vigor, clattering loudly as she swiftly escaped from the scene.

"Honestly."

Ye Qiu shook his head and stood up. He opened the window, took a deep breath, letting the cold air chase away the fatigue.

Just as Ye Qiu planned to take a shower and prepare some clothes to change into, the computer notified him of a "new email."

Beep, an electronic sound rang out, catching his eye. The computer's panel had the email alert light flashing persistently. He sat down and clicked on the terminal with the mouse.

This world's computers were quite different from the ones Ye Qiu previously knew, with a major change in their construction.

The once popular and useful HDD (rotating memory device) hard drives had long disappeared, while cutting-edge SSD (solid-state memory device) technology surpassed them, and the mainstream of memory had become super-fast non-volatile RA, almost preventing any delay, achieving a near-simultaneous click and open.

As soon as the email software started, the list of received messages updated, and the name in the sender column was——"Store Owner."

Someone Ye Qiu fought alongside in another world, but everyone was merely named as such originally. For these people, the concept of a wave didn't exist; their memories had been altered to them once being trapped in a game where failure meant death.

During the twenty days, the store owner and Ye Qiu reunited in Tokyo. At that time, the two exchanged email addresses, but this was the first time contact was made. The email subject was "Look at this." After clicking open, there was not a single line of text; just a picture attachment.

Ye Qiu lowered his head, clicked on the picture, crouched, and leaned close to inspect the monitor.

The composition was very peculiar. The characteristics of color and lighting showed this was not the real world, but rather an illusory world created by computers. In the foreground was a golden cage. Inside was a white table and white chairs. A woman in a white evening dress sat there. Through the bars of the cage, I closely watched her side profile——

"Fang Wushang!?"

Incidentally, in this world, Fang Wushang's hair had inexplicably changed from black to chestnut.

The style was very rough. Even so, the girl with the chestnut long hair was undoubtedly Fang Wushang. She had her arms crossed on the table, her side face looking melancholic. Upon closer inspection, transparent wings stretched out from her back. Ye Qiu grabbed the phone on the table, searched through the contact list for a while, and clicked the connect button. Even a few seconds of ringing felt very lengthy to me. Poof, the connection sound followed by the low voice of the store owner came through.
